The whole team are incredible
If you’re considering Markree Castle for your wedding then go for it. You will never regret it. We found Markree online during lockdown and from the email correspondence to digital tours we already knew before visiting this was the venue for us. The whole team are incredible- Dierdre, Nicholas and Eoin especially. (And Lee and his army of chefs!!!) We tweaked their packages to suit our specific needs and everything felt tailored and personalised.

incredible, professional, supportive
We could not be happier with their support and guidance from start to finish. Every query was answered quickly and everything we planned and hoped for was delivered on the day. All guests were looked after on the day including ourselves and everyone had only praise for the service. A special appreciation for Deirdre (leading up to the day) and Helena (leading up and on the day). Both were incredible, professional, supportive and made us feel at ease and helped the day go smoothly.
