Ballyscullion Park is a family-run, exclusive-use wedding venue on the shores of Lough Beg in Northern Ireland. Ceremony, drinks, reception and evening party all happen on the estate, from a walled garden to a glass-fronted marquee for up to 220 guests. Accommodation for 38 people lets you keep part of your wedding group together on site, beyond the celebration itself.

The story

A family estate on Lough Beg where the whole day stays in one place

Ballyscullion Park is the home of the Mulholland family, who bought the estate in 1938 and restored the house. It looks over Lough Beg and the ruins of Church Island, in unspoilt countryside surrounded by ancient woodland. The lough is a Ramsar site, and the poet Seamus Heaney grew up nearby. Belfast is 35 minutes away and Derry-Londonderry about an hour.

Weddings run at one event a day, so the estate, the accommodation and the parking are yours. The three-acre Walled Garden holds ceremonies and drinks, and the Palace Ruins have been opened for ceremonies too. The reception takes place in a fixed marquee, glass-fronted so that the garden stays in view all evening, with room for 50 to 220 guests. Two classical function rooms in the 18th-century stable block give a second option.
