About Larchfield Estate
At Larchfield Estate everything is catered for, from the lovingly decorated accommodation to our personalised approach in helping you create the most memorable day. With a charming, idyllic setting to create your own whimsical fairy-tale.
Set in the heart of the rolling County Down countryside, the private family run authentic estate of Larchfield offers an exclusive haven within easy reach of Lisburn and just 20 minutes from Belfast.
The converted barn, stables, traditional courtyard and stunning walled garden offer a unique venue for a romantic wedding celebration. Say your ‘I-dos’ in the secluded sunken garden, followed by drinks and canapés as you explore the greenhouse, catmint walkway and private lawns of the historic Walled Garden.
The gorgeous Orangery provides an indoor outdoor space linking the traditional cobbled courtyard with the old Barn interior – the perfect place to start the celebrations on a more overcast or winters day. Larchfield Barn is brimming with character, stone walls meeting with large wooden joists create a relaxed and cosy atmosphere, setting the scene for an intimate and memorable wedding celebration.
We have an in house events team to help with all the planning and preparations for your big day and are very used to helping couples plan from near and afar. We don’t charge corkage, yet are fully licensed if a pay bar is required. We also provide chairs and tables, fairy lights, oak barrels, PA systems and your personal MC on the day of your wedding all within the cost.
If you would like to stay overnight with family and friends there is a selection of cottages and rooms available for up to 37 people – perfect after a day of celebration.
