A fairytale and dream come true
Our experience with Springfield Castle was clear, communicative, and made wedding planning overseas as easy as possible! As a couple from California, USA, we contacted our wedding planner Ciara (Peach Perfect Weddings) for our beautiful Ireland wedding, and it was an experience beyond our wildest dreams! Our wedding planner and the staff at Springfield Castle made it easy to focus on our lives at home and took the reins to plan the wedding we always hoped for. We met only over video calls, they helped us maintain our budget, and gave us the best service possible while listening to all our requests for our special day. They worked together and guided us into finding our venue which would not have been found through research of our own. Having never been to our venue before, the staff at Springfield Castle made sure we met through video calls multiple times to ease any worry. The venue itself provided great service for our multiple day celebrations, showing that the Peach Perfect company only works with highly qualified businesses such as Springfield Castle. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone wishing to plan their special day or any other event with Springfield Castle. They made it simple, easy, and a complete dream come true. We hope to visit again in the future to celebrate our anniversary.

A Beautiful Day with Family and Friends.
Our Wedding in Springfield Castle will live in the memories of all those who attend over the 3 nights we spent there. Jonathan, Betty and especially Karen Sykes and her team were there for us at every step, to answer any questions and provided us with an experience that we felt like WE owned Springfield. The setting is spectacular,the service was first class and everyone was accommodating, friendly and efficient. It was the first time that most people had met up for the first time but the layout and atmosphere of Springfield lends itself to a relaxed and friendly venue and in no time at all we were one big happy family. We will be forever grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Perfection
"My Irish retreat of perfection" This is my 3rd time booking a week long retreat at Springfield Castle. It is the perfect balance of elegance and homey comfort. All of my clients on this most recent retreat exclaimed their full delight of the surroundings, the amenities, the gracious thoughtful touches of flowers in the rooms, our wonderful grounds tour with Jonathan

Sublime
"Sublime" We visited Springfield Castle to dine at The Green Room cafe and visit the grounds. It is sublime. Jonathan and his family poor their heart and souls into everything they do here and have really given the property and grounds a touch of class. The food is delicious.

Lovely
"Lovely. Grand. Brilliant" Hard to overstate the amount of fun you can have with 22 best friends and family members, an amazing setting (the castle), 2 kegs of Guinness in the pub and perfect Irish summer weather. Every single aspect of our trip worked 100% and Springfield Castle was just a magic place for us.

Amazing
Everything was amazing from start to finish. Karen was so helpful from the first email to checkout. The castle is full of history and the food was fantastic. Nothing was too much bother. Hopefully it’s the first of many stays.

Perfection
Springfield Castle, Karen and all her staff made our wedding nothing short of perfect! As soon as you travel down the 3/4 mile driveway you instantly know your are in for something special, the castle is an amazing building with the rooms exceptionally furnished and we had the whole place to ourselves. The ceremony rooms and the food done by Karen and her team really did make the dream wedding.

Our fairytale wedding at the beautiful Springfield Castle
If you're ever looking for somewhere that will feel both like a second home and a truly medieval magical experience look no further. I went with Springfield Castle as my wedding venue but what we received was so much more. Karen and her amazing team were like a part of the family we didn't know we were missing. Everyone was so helpful and amazing I can not thank them enough for making my wedding stay absolutely perfect! The food was absolutely top tier and they were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions. We were only there for a few days but the memories made here will last a lifetime. We very much look forward to coming here again soon for more special occasions! Thank you so much for everything Karen and Springfield Castle!

Bounty of Dreams
To say that my wedding was a dream would be an under statement. The setting is situated on acres of history and palatial beauty. I love history, flowers, birds, the ability to sing at the top of my lungs, laughter, space for time alone, gathering spaces and music. Springfield gave us all of this plus the kindest and most talented staff around. We will forever be grateful for our time at Springfield. I recommend booking a story teller, whiskey tasting, breakfast for your guests and an Irish dancer for the event. Blessings from the United States.

Travel Notes

You can fly to Shannon or Cork, they are both about an 1 and 20 mins from the castle. If you fly into Cork or Dublin you can get a train to Charleville which is 20 minutes from Springfield. From there you need to get a taxi. If you fly into the Shannon the best thing is to get a bus to Newcastle west and get a taxi from here. It is about 15 minutes from us. Ideally the best option to rent a car.
