Absolute Dream
On behalf of myself and my husband, we would like to say a massive thank you to all at Castle Dargan for making our wedding day so wonderful. It was without a doubt the best day from start to finish. Thank you especially to Taylor for all you have done for us, your professionalism did not go unnoticed, you put your heart and soul into what you do, and it really shows in your work and how special our day was. A special thanks to Caroline you really do keep the front of house running smoothly. Ibra for making sure all guests had a drink in hand and Abi for looking after us at the top table so well. If we were to do it all over again, which we would in a heartbeat, we would 100% come back to Castle Dargan.

The day overall was so beautiful
We had our amazing wedding day at Castle Dargan on 4th August this year. Taylor was the most helpful wedding coordinator on the days and weeks before and on the wedding day. The day overall was so beautiful and all my guests can't stop talking about how amazing the venue was - not to mention the food 10/10! Would definitely recommend to anyone getting married.

I can't recommend Castle Dargan and Taylor enough!
We had our wedding at Castle Dargan in August, I can't describe in words how stunning and beautiful Castle Dargan and its grounds are, I felt like we were in a fairytale! Taylor our wedding coordinator was so amazing and so professional, she helped with anything we needed and answered our so many questions day and night. All the staff were amazing, the food was the nicest food I've ever had and every single guest complimented it. I can't recommend Castle Dargan and Taylor enough.

A big thank you for making our day special.
We had our wedding reception in Castle Dargan at the start of Sep 2023. On the day of the wedding our reception looked beautiful, the food came out hot and promptly with good portion sizes and taste. We got a lot of compliments on the food from our guests. The function room overlooking the golf course really is pretty. Throughout the planning stage we had regular contact from Caroline, Jessica and our wedding coordinator Taylor.

the BEST time from start to finish
We had our reception in Castle Dargan last weekend and we had the BEST time from start to finish. Management were excellent to deal with and we really felt listened to. Our guests all had a fantastic time and the feedback has been great. We were all allowed to relax and fully enjoy ourselves so we couldn't ask for much more. Special mention to Zoltan, Nathan, Taylor and chef Sonu.

Christmas Weddings at Castle Dargan Estate are always special, with hotel & ballroom beautifully decorated for the festive season, it creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable day! With the option of Fireworks being permitted on our golf course, your photos will be spectacular!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Table Plans are one of the trickiest parts of wedding planning, I would always recommend for couples to begin working on this as soon as possible. When compiling your guest list, it can be great to work on a draft of your table plan at this time!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Personalised Table Numbers are always a favourite, we have seen so many creative ideas with couples naming tables after places they've visited (even including photos) or having photos of the couple at each age corresponding with the table numbers.

The Ruins of the Original Castle Dargan are still visible to this day on our Golf Course. You can find these located beside our 3rd Hole on our 18 Hole Championship Golf Course. W.B Yeats himself was a frequent visitor of the Estate, and wrote about the Castle Ruins in his famous poem 'The Wicked Hawthorn Tree' “O, but I saw a solemn light; Said the rambling, shambling travelling man; Castle Dargan’s ruin all lit’ Lovely ladies dancing in it”
