Lough Cutra Castle
Georgina Campbell
Lough Cutra Castle and Estate has a long and varied history with both highs and lows, including famine relief to the billeting of soldiers, a period as a convent and life as a private home. It was designed by John Nash who worked on Buckingham Palace, and was visited by guests such as Lady Augusta Gregory and WB Yeats. The countryside surrounding Lough Cutra contains much evidence of a history dating back hundreds of years.
Situated in South Galway Lough Cutra Castle is a unique location for the hosting of wedding celebrations or indeed any other special events you may have planned. Always unique, a wedding in the Castle can be as personal as you want to make it. Lough Cutra Castle offer suggestions and guidance to help you make decisions about the wedding.
This wedding venues very privately situated, in a glorious position at the heart of the private 1600 acre Lough Cutra Castle Estate, perched above the water and surrounded by manicured lawns, mature woodland and parkland scenery.
You can sip champagne overlooking Lough Cutra, the one thousand acre lake from which the Castle takes its' name. The Gough Room allows friends and family to relax in informal splendour before entering the lavishly decorated Saloon and the Dining Room for their meal. Following dinner dancing takes place under the vaulted ceilings and Bacchanal plasterwork of the Great Hall.
Anything up to one hundred guests can dine in the Saloon, a further sixty in the Dining room, and if your guest list is larger another forty in the Gough Room, meaning as many as two hundred can share your special day with you. If your numbers are more than two hundred a marquee may be erected on the Garden Terrace adjoining the Saloon.
In order to reduce some of the pressure on the Bride and Groom we always offer a suite in the Castle as a wedding gift. The remaining accommodation in the Castle is also available for rental if required (three night minimum). The whole Castle accommodation consists of eight bedrooms served by seven bathrooms sleeping up to sixteen.
