Amazing day!
Thank you to everyone at Castledargan hotel for making our Wedding day so special, especially Taylor the wedding planner. Your attention to detail was amazing an you were always quick to respond to any questions I had in the lead up to the day,no matter how big or small. Our guests were raving about how lovely the food was at both our drinks reception and dinner, and also how lovely the cocktails were! Thank you again for everything! Would highly recommend!

The most perfect day
Taylor was amazing. No request was too big or too small. Taylor’s attention to detail was impeccable and I felt 100% trusted and heard through all forms of communication on the phone, email and in person. Taylor shows excitement and positivity toward every couple she meets and I enjoyed every engagement I shared with Taylor. It was helpful to hear what other couples did as well as other suggestions from Taylor when discussing entry songs, speeches, and reception foods/drinks etc. Taylor makes your day to be exactly what your vision is and makes it even better. We appreciated everything Taylor did for us and will forever be grateful of her professionalism and work ethic. The food was amazing and not one complaint from anyone which was one of the most important things from the day. I’m still thinking of the food and the dessert. Thank you so very much. Laura & Niall

The best wedding ever
Jill is a genius. I don't like phots of me generally, BUT, Jill made everyone look great. She put everyone at ease and took some amazing photos. She re-made the wedding bouquet, fixed my shoe disaster and was genuinely perfect on the day. Couldn't ask for a more professional, nice and caring person to do the wedding photography. Her eternal smile was infectious on the day! THANK YOU JILL

Absolute Dream
On behalf of myself and my husband, we would like to say a massive thank you to all at Castle Dargan for making our wedding day so wonderful. It was without a doubt the best day from start to finish. Thank you especially to Taylor for all you have done for us, your professionalism did not go unnoticed, you put your heart and soul into what you do, and it really shows in your work and how special our day was. A special thanks to Caroline you really do keep the front of house running smoothly. Ibra for making sure all guests had a drink in hand and Abi for looking after us at the top table so well. If we were to do it all over again, which we would in a heartbeat, we would 100% come back to Castle Dargan.

The day overall was so beautiful
We had our amazing wedding day at Castle Dargan on 4th August this year. Taylor was the most helpful wedding coordinator on the days and weeks before and on the wedding day. The day overall was so beautiful and all my guests can't stop talking about how amazing the venue was - not to mention the food 10/10! Would definitely recommend to anyone getting married.

I can't recommend Castle Dargan and Taylor enough!
We had our wedding at Castle Dargan in August, I can't describe in words how stunning and beautiful Castle Dargan and its grounds are, I felt like we were in a fairytale! Taylor our wedding coordinator was so amazing and so professional, she helped with anything we needed and answered our so many questions day and night. All the staff were amazing, the food was the nicest food I've ever had and every single guest complimented it. I can't recommend Castle Dargan and Taylor enough.

A big thank you for making our day special.
We had our wedding reception in Castle Dargan at the start of Sep 2023. On the day of the wedding our reception looked beautiful, the food came out hot and promptly with good portion sizes and taste. We got a lot of compliments on the food from our guests. The function room overlooking the golf course really is pretty. Throughout the planning stage we had regular contact from Caroline, Jessica and our wedding coordinator Taylor.

Christmas Weddings at Castle Dargan Estate are always special, with hotel & ballroom beautifully decorated for the festive season, it creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable day! With the option of Fireworks being permitted on our golf course, your photos will be spectacular!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Table Plans are one of the trickiest parts of wedding planning, I would always recommend for couples to begin working on this as soon as possible. When compiling your guest list, it can be great to work on a draft of your table plan at this time!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Personalised Table Numbers are always a favourite, we have seen so many creative ideas with couples naming tables after places they've visited (even including photos) or having photos of the couple at each age corresponding with the table numbers.

The Ruins of the Original Castle Dargan are still visible to this day on our Golf Course. You can find these located beside our 3rd Hole on our 18 Hole Championship Golf Course.
