Rathsallagh House
THE SELL One of Ireland’s most celebrated country house hotels, Rathsallagh House is over 300 years old, offering history and grandeur all wrapped up in a warm Wicklow welcome. Creeper-clad and cosy, there’s a wonderful sense of heritage in this large, rambling house that’s just an hour from Dublin but feels a world away. Open fires, deep sofas, homely décor and excellent country house cooking are all hallmarks of the Dunlavin hideaway. RSVP Over half of all weddings at Rathsallagh see couples exchanging their vows on site. With five ceremony locations to choose from, why not tie the knot in front of the main house, in the orchard or on the main lawn of the walled garden? Indoors, there’s the atmospheric Orangery and the Granary, allowing you to tailor make your day. THE MONEY SHOT The beautiful walled gardens and backdrop of the house lend themselves to incredible photography. The impressive oak tree on the front lawn is a favourite with couples, while the resident horses and sheep have been known for their cameo appearances in some couples’ snaps. SEASONAL THRILLS In summer, Rathsallagh’s orchard is a romantic setting for exchanging vows, with the walled garden perfect for a drinks reception. Afterwards, dinner in the pavilion is enhanced by a warm breeze blowing through the open doors. In winter, the trees surrounding the house sparkle with lights while guests stay cosy inside with natural log and turf fires burning in every room. No matter what time of year you marry here, you can be guaranteed that guests will want to linger outdoors to enjoy the special setting. SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT The morning after your wedding, you and your guests can look forward to a breakfast like no other. Rathsallagh House is proud to be a four-time winner of the National Breakfast Awards, ensuring an impressive spread. Who doesn’t love an excellent feed after a serious night’s partying?
