Frequently asked questions

Can we have exclusive use of the venue?

Yes, we offer exclusive use during your wedding - we have a one wedding a day policy.

Can we have the wedding ceremony outdoors?

Yes of course. If the Northern Ireland weather permits then your outdoor ceremony would be held in our sunken garden located in the walled garden. We always have a Plan A and Plan B option, it's the beauty of plenty of space and exclusive use!

Do you charge corkage if we supply our own wine?

We do not charge corkage so you are welcome to provide your own bubbly for drinks reception and toasts, and wine to be served through dinner. Your caterers will serve these drinks for you and provide all the necessary glassware.

Can we use our own caterers?

We have five award-winning caterers who we recommend - we believe that this gives you freedom to choose the catering option, budget, and type of food that you would like. All food is locally sourced and prepared and cooked freshly onsite in our extensive top of the range kitchen. Each caterer will have different price ranges and styles to suit all budgets and tastes that we believe are exceptional.
