Welcome to Bellingham Castle

Wedding Venue

At Bellingham Castle, the welcome is warm, the facilities luxurious and the memories, eternal. Nestled in the medieval village of Castlebellingham in County Louth along Ireland’s Ancient East, Bellingham Castle is an elegant and spacious 17th Century authentic Irish Castle available for exclusive hire, to allow you become King or Queen of your very own castle for a truly memorable experience. The Castle opens for overnight stays on select dates throughout the year, but is predominantly an exclusive hire venue for spectacular castle weddings and conferences or events.

We truly don’t know where to start. Saying “thank you” does not even begin to cover how grateful we are for our entire experience at Bellingham Castle. Two years ago we decided we were going to travel over to Ireland, from the states, to get married. After looking at a few venues online we came across Bellingham. We scheduled a call and immediately knew it was the one for us. We felt so comfortable, welcomed, and at ease after meeting the staff on our virtual call. Because of the time difference the staff set up late night...
