The five most popular Jules wedding venues
We are fortunate to have so many gorgeous wedding venues in this part of the world. Creating all our lovely invites gives us a special insight into which venues our most popular with couples in Northern Ireland.
Montalto Estate
Montalto Estate based in County Down makes a stunning venue for an elegant rustic inspired wedding. Featuring original beams, beautiful stone walls and an idyllic green house. If you want a private occasion, where yours is the only wedding party that day and passers-by can’t intrude, Montalto Estate makes a great location as rates include sole use of the Carriage Rooms and Walled Garden. The scenery of water features and hedging in the garden is a perfect backdrop for creating unique wedding photos.
The bright spacious Carriage Room makes an impressive banquet hall and can cater for up to 180 people. The room also allows for you to make your own stamp on the venue and decorate as desired for your big day.
Culloden Hotel
Culloden Hotel and Spa in Holywood is the wedding venue for any bride who wants to feel like a princess. As a former palace transformed to a 5* hotel it is ideal for the modern fairy-tale wedding. With the luxurious blend of old and new the venue has a unique sense of charm.
The hotel is secluded, with beautifully landscaped gardens, stone staircases and a striking view over Belfast Lough. Making for a dramatic setting for those all-important photos.
Your guests will enjoy the luxury of dining and if they choose to, staying at the Culloden as well. An indulgent experience with access to the Spa. More and more brides and grooms want to make their wedding a weekend long event, staying with their wedding party the night before the wedding to enjoy some pampering.
Galgorm Resort
If you’re looking for something with a real sense of grandeur in a gorgeous rural setting Galgorm is the venue of choice. As soon as you turn into Galgorm’s drive and look up the hill you feel a sense of awe at the size of the grounds and its halls. If that isn’t enough the grounds also feature a waterfall, an unsurprisingly popular photo spot.
Whether you’re after something contemporary or classic, Galgorm has the venue to suit your needs. Choose between the newest addition to the resort the Renaissance suite, or the Four Season suite for a modern feel; with bright lights, contemporary decor and white furnishings. Alternatively, if you have your heart set on a more traditional venue with antique details, art and fireplaces the Great Hall is the perfect choice. Galgorm also allows you the option to have your ceremony in the unique settings of either the Phantom or the Ghost house. Both of which make quaint and romantic spaces for your vows.
You can tell that the staff at Galgorm have a real sense of pride about their work. We love the video they made as it shows how much they love what they do, which is so important in the wedding industry.
Larchfield Estate
Larchfield Estate with its barn reception hall is another option that will tug on the heart strings of those couples who love the rustic look. If you’re tempted by an outdoor wedding ceremony Larchfield Estate’s sunken garden makes a gorgeous choice and if the weather takes a turn for the worse your ceremony can be held in the Stables. The estate is like stepping into another world, tranquil and magical, it’s easy to see why this venue is so popular with our couples.
With the opportunity to bring in your chosen caters, the option to have an open bar and the freedom to decorate the barn to your taste, you can really make your wedding unique to you as a couple. The estate also features a variety of wildlife, everything from butterflies to miniature donkeys that sets this venue apart from the rest.
