Louth hotel named as Ireland’s Best Large Hotel Wedding Venue

The Four Seasons Carlingford has been named Ireland’s Best Large Hotel Wedding Venue by wedding website SaveMyDay.ie

The website describes the venue as: “Nestled among the beautiful scenery of Carlingford Lough, the Cooley and Mourne Mountains, and only a stone’s throw from the rambling streets of the beautiful medieval village of Carlingford, King John’s Castle and the Old Abbey, the Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford boasts a stunning location of ‘where the mountains meet the sea’ to host both winter wedding ceremony and reception. 

“Licensed to hold civil ceremonies, humanist ceremonies, spiritual ceremonies and civil partnerships, the Four Seasons and its award winning wedding team are honoured to host ceremonies of any scale so that couples can exchange vows in a celebration tailored to their own love story. 

“Step in from the cold into the hotel’s grand ballroom warmingly lit by sparkling crystal chandeliers and boasting Georgian ceilings, floor to ceiling cut glass mirrors, lush carpets and catering for weddings up to 370 guests.”

With the festive season upon us, SaveMyDay.ie are celebrating the magic and charm of winter wedding celebrations. With over 600 couples surveyed in the SaveMyDay.ie Irish Wedding Trends Survey, the results revealed a 25% increase in couples choosing to say I do during winter months. Many couples planning winter weddings referenced the opportunity to save money and increased guest availability in comparison with summer months. 

Shell Holden, wedding expert and co-owner of SaveMyDay.ie, comments “Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular amongst couples planning their big day for several reasons including better pricing, better guest availability and the added plus of festive decor.  Many venues and wedding vendors offer reduced pricing compared to summer months, allowing brides and grooms the opportunity to secure catering, photography and other services that may be originally out of budget.

“Additionally, winter months often mean fewer diary clashes and less wedding fatigue for guests, making it easier for them to attend. While evenings may be darker, the twinkling lights are brighter, the atmosphere cozier, the decor richer, and wedding feasts more festive, making winter a truly magical time for a wedding. With the inviting glow of candlelight, fairy lights, crackling fires, and the chance of a light snow, winter weddings create a fairytale experience.”

Brides and grooms looking to make the most of these cosier days and nights can now choose from venues across the country including homely country manors and estates,  historic landmarks, atmospheric restaurants, seaside locations, luxury castles, private and exclusive venues, well-established hotels, woodland retreats and many more.
