Your entire wedding can take place here on the 1500-acre Slane Castle Estate, from the ceremony itself to a sit-down banquet in our magnificent Gothic Ballroom, Castle Courtyard Marquee or more intimate State Rooms.
You will be greeted on arrival into our impressive Great Hall which is a stunning location for a drinks reception, with it's fine Doric columns and magnificent plasterwork compete for attention and are beautiful for indoor photos. U2's video for 'Pride (In the Name of Love)' was filmed here so your party can buzz off that rock history in the making!
