CREATING UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES IN A FAIRYTALE SETTING
With a stunning setting overlooking Carlingford Lough, the award-winning Four Seasons Hotel is the perfect location for your dream wedding.
THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL CARLINGFORD HAS WON MULTIPLE AWARDS FOR ITS WEDDINGS. WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOUR VENUE STAND OUT AS ONE OF THE BEST IN IRELAND?
It is the combination of our stunning location, our beautiful function space, and, most importantly, our team.
Our second-floor function room is a dream setting, with a private balcony that looks out over Carlingford Lough and the Cooley Mountains—it’s where the mountains meet the sea, creating the most breathtaking backdrop for wedding photos.
But it’s not just about the views; it’s about the experience. Our team is incredibly friendly, flexible, and genuinely passionate about making every wedding unique. We work closely with each couple to make sure their day is exactly how they imagined it, whether that means customising packages, adding personal touches, or simply being there to support them every step of the way.
One of the things couples love most is that everything is in one place. They can have their ceremony, reception, and even have their guests stay over, making the whole day feel effortless and relaxed. That’s what we strive for—creating unforgettable moments in a setting that feels like a fairytale.
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE WEDDING PACKAGES YOU OFFER?
Our wedding packages are all about creating a stress-free and magical day, with everything couples need to celebrate in style. Prices start from €72 per person, and we’ve named each package after the stunning mountains that surround us—it’s our way of tying the beauty of Carlingford into every wedding.
We’re especially excited about our new Winter Wedding Package for 2025/2026, starting from €65 per person. Winter in Carlingford is truly something special—the crisp air, cosy atmosphere, and breathtaking views make it a dream setting for a wedding. Winning Best Winter Wedding Venue in Ireland at the Save My Day awards was such an honour and a reflection of how magical winter weddings here really are.
Every couple deserves a wedding that feels effortless and unforgettable, so we include so many little touches to make the day extra special. From the red-carpet arrival to the drink’s reception with nibbles, we want couples and their guests to feel welcomed from the moment they step in. The reception space is beautifully set with floral tablecentrepieces or elegant candelabras, and of course, there’s an incredible wedding banquet with wine and a toast to celebrate the newlyweds. And because one day is never enough, we also include finger food the next day so the celebrations can continue.
More than anything, we want every couple to feel at home here. Our team is always on hand to make sure the day is exactly how they imagined it, with as much flexibility and personalisation as they need.
YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN RECOGNISED FOR EXCELLENCE, INCLUDING YOUR HIGHLY COMMENDED WEDDING COORDINATOR. DOES EVERY COUPLE ENJOY THE SERVICES OF A DEDICATED WEDDING COORDINATOR?
Yes, absolutely! Every couple who chooses to celebrate their wedding with us is guaranteed the support of a dedicated Wedding Coordinator—that’s our promise.
Our wedding team has over 30 years of combined experience, and they truly are the heart of what makes weddings at the Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford so special. They’re an award-winning team, with our Wedding Coordinator even receiving a highly commended recognition, which we’re so proud of.
But don’t just take our word for it—our reviews speak for themselves! Almost every couple who has celebrated their big day with us mentions how amazing our team is at bringing wedding dreams to life. From the first meeting to the last dance, we’re there every step of the way, making sure everything is seamless, stress-free, and exactly as imagined.
ACCOMMODATION AND LEISURE FACILITIES ARE A BIG DRAW FOR WEDDING GUESTS. WHAT CAN COUPLES AND THEIR FAMILIES EXPECT WHEN THEY STAY AT THE FOUR SEASONS?
One of the things couples love most about getting married at the Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford is that everything is in one place—ceremony, reception, and accommodation—so they can truly relax and enjoy every moment with their family and friends.
We know how important it is for guests to feel comfortable, which is why our bedrooms have been fully refurbished over the last two years, offering a fresh, modern, and stylish space to unwind after the celebrations. Whether it’s parents, friends, or little ones in the wedding party, everyone has a cozy place to rest and recharge.
Beyond the wedding itself, there’s plenty for guests to enjoy. Our leisure facilities, including a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room, are perfect for a little pre- or post-wedding relaxation. And for those who love the outdoors, our beautiful, landscaped gardens with an al fresco seating area provide a lovely spot to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the fresh Carlingford air.
Carlingford is such a special place, and we love that wedding guests can take time to explore its charming, cobbled streets, quirky shops, and breathtaking surroundings while they’re here. Whether it’s catching up with loved ones over a coffee in the gardens, taking a dip in the pool, or simply enjoying a leisurely breakfast the next morning, we want every guest to feel at home and make the most of their stay.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO COUPLES PLANNING THEIR DREAM WEDDING AT THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL CARLINGFORD?
Planning a wedding is such an exciting journey, and we’re here to make it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. The best advice we can give to couples is to embrace the process and trust that we’ve got everything covered!
First and foremost, book early—Carlingford is a hugely popular wedding destination, and dates fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. Once the date is secured, the fun really begins!
We always encourage couples to make their day personal—whether it’s special touches in the décor, a meaningful song for the first dance, or a nod to their love story in the menu. Our team is incredibly flexible and loves helping couples bring their unique vision to life.
Another big piece of advice? Don’t stress over the little things. It’s easy to get caught up in tiny details, but at the end of the day, what makes a wedding truly special is the love, laughter, and memories made with family and friends. Our award-winning wedding team, with over 30 years of experience, will guide couples through every step, ensuring nothing is overlooked and everything runs smoothly.
Finally, make a weekend of it! So many of our couple’s love extending the celebrations beyond just one day—whether it’s a relaxed gathering the night before, or a next-day celebration with finger food in our beautiful gardens. It’s a great way to soak up every moment without feeling rushed.
Most importantly, enjoy the journey! We’ll be there from the first viewing to the last dance, making sure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of and more.
