Recommended Venues across Northern Ireland

Here are some of our favourites… from beautifully Restored Barns, Old Chapels to Stretch Tents …one even has a Reception Yurt-inspired Marquee! Whatever unique setting you can image, we can provide the catering!

We love finding new quirky venues. We love when our couples are keen to think outside the norm for their wedding receptions. Hotel reception weddings are great if you would like a full service pre-made package. However, if you are keen to add some more of your personality to the day then opting an outside venue gives more freedom to choose even the littlest details. Some of the venues below even offer activities to entertain your guests inbetween the ceremony and reception, while you are away taking your wedding photos. From archery, relaxing in a beautiful wall garden, clay pigeon shooting and more!
