Slane Castle is a neo-Gothic castle completed in 1821 and set in the Boyne Valley in County Meath, offering exclusive private hire for weddings from 15 to 250 guests across its ballroom, courtyard marquee, and historic rooms.
Slane Castle is an exclusive private venue in the Boyne Valley, Co. Meath, and one of the most impressive historic buildings in Ireland. Its state rooms include the Great Hall, the Drawing Room and the Gothic Ballroom, and the tour also takes in the King George IV Ballroom and the Gandon Room. The castle is equally known for its concerts, which have featured The Rolling Stones, Queen, Oasis and Bruce Springsteen, and it is home to the Slane Distillery Visitor Centre.
Weddings are held on an exclusive-use basis with a dedicated team shaping each day around the couple. Inside the castle, the dinner package suits 60 to 110 guests. The new Courtyard Pavilion, a timber structure with natural canvas set within the historic courtyard, hosts celebrations of more than 200: guests are welcomed in the castle, dine in the Pavilion and return to the castle for dancing. Ten en suite bedrooms accommodate up to 27 guests, the seven individually designed castle rooms joined by The Windsor Room, Lord Slane's and The Bachelors, with a castle breakfast the following morning. Further stays are available across the estate, including glamping and holiday homes at Rock Farm Slane, and private wedding showcases are held by appointment.
