Castle Durrow

The owners and staff are absolutely amazing. They made wedding planning such a breeze and their calm, kind energy was felt by all of our guests. The venue is so stunning and was perfect for our celebration. I couldn’t recommend it more.

I couldn't recommend Castle Durrow enough as a wedding venue. Everything was run so perfectly on our wedding day, the food was amazing, all the staff were so friendly and efficient, and everyone was so accommodating. Robin and Tessa are great to deal with and made sure everything ran smoothly and effortlessly on the day, along with the rest of the team. A wonderful venue and magical experience!

We honestly could not have asked for more from Castle Durrow! We planned our wedding from abroad, so really relied on a responsive and professional team at our venue and the team at Castle Durrow certainly put us at ease!
We had the worst rain imaginable on our wedding day, but the team handled everything so well, made our guests feel at ease and the hotel is so beautiful inside that we got perfect pictures!
Our guests loved the food and service they received, as well as the accommodation.
If we could do it all over again, we would in a heartbeat and would definitely choose Castle Durrow as our venue!

Castle Durrow was the ideal venue for us and we couldnt have loved it more! Not only is it the perfect setting for an intimate beautiful wedding, it's full of warmth and charm. The friendly attentive staff made us feel so at home and were ready to help us in whatever way they could. The food was also fabulous and the gardens are second to none! Couldn't recommend this venue more for a wedding.

Everything was just perfect. Honestly it was! The staff and the service was so good, everyone worked with such professionalism on the day.
The venue is just a dream venue that can't be faulted. And the food was so good too. Everyone was talking to us afterwards about how great the venue and the food was so couldn't have asked for much better than that really!

Stunning venue, professional and courteous staff, fabulous food - we enjoyed every minute of our wedding at Castle Durrow.

We were so thrilled with Castle Durrow as our wedding venue. The wedding team could not do enough to help us on the run up to the wedding, answering lots of my emails!! On the day itself, they were always there to help... They were so hands on! The venue felt like our home for the weekend. We were treated amazingly... All of the staff were so helpful and welcoming. The food and service was brilliant... Lots of our guests commented on the kindness of the staff, the quality of the food and the beauty of the venue itself. We are so thrilled with everything.... I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Castle a Durrow to any couple. I'd just love to do it all again!

Castle Durrow were so helpful from the first time we met with them. The whole wedding was stress free as they were so professional and took care of everything. We are so thankful to them.

Durrow Castle were exceptional as a wedding venue. The level of attentiveness and support given towards myself and my husband from the moment we booked the venue was second to none. From the wedding team to the accommodation staff and kitchen staff, we couldn't have asked for a single thing more. Anything we requested was made possible, they never made us feel that any request was too much & all correspondence was genuine & personal Emails were always responded to promptly (within 24 hours) & if there was anything that needed clarifying they would always get back to within a short period of time (within the week).
The day itself was magic - & Castle Durrow went to every ends to make us feel so special. The grounds are immaculate & stunning, every guest has since contacted us to sing the praises of the food, wine & service. In particular anyone with dietary requirements said the staff were so attentive in ensuing everything was explained to them & dietary options were wonderful too. As a vegetarian myself, I loved the variety of options that were provided to me, it made the whole experience even more fantastic.
I would absolutely recommend Castle Durrow to anybody considering it. You get everything you pay for & more, even after the wedding as we were leaving, the staff presented us with 2 beautiful gifts to show their appreciation. Everything is included in the cost presented to you, there is no hidden costs which is another advantage hat you don't have any surprises.

Gorgeous venue, great food, amazing service. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Ireland, look no further. We had our wedding reception and next day BBQ here and everything perfect. We planned our wedding as a couple abroad - first from Singapore then from London. We loved everything about the venue, the location, the reception hall, the rooms, the food, and most importantly, the people. The Castle Durrow Weddings team (Niamh and Suzanne) were a delight to work with and answered all our questions. The reservations team (Melissa and Alice) were also both organized and patient as we and our guests finalize our room bookings. During the day itself, the Banquet team and their manager, Lillie, took amazing care of us and made sure everything was flowing smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. This went on until the next day when we had the BBQ at the Pavillion.

I cannot speak highly enough about Castle Durrow. The venue is obviously stunning but I think it is their wedding team that really makes this an amazing venue. I dealt mainly with Niamh, though the whole team were very helpful. Niamh seemed to pre-empt my every need or want. She facilitated all of my requests and often had helpful suggestions to improve my ideas. The day of the wedding itself, my family and I felt like royalty. The entire staff were just great, any little issues that popped up (through no fault of Castle Durrow) were dealt with calmly and resolved immediately. All of the bridal party commented on how great the team were while we were getting ready and our guests have gone out of their way to let us know how much they liked the venue and how great the staff were.

We had the most amazing wedding day in Castle Durrow, the food, decor and service was second to none.
Nothing we ever asked for in the lead up to our day was ever an issue and Niamh and Susan were always on hand to help and advise us. They pulled out all the stops on the day and made sure we were always ok.
Castle Durrow and its whole team were brilliant and all our guests complimented how great they were.
Castle Durrow itself is a BEAUTIFUL place full of charm and nested within lovely gardens.
It will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The team in Castle Durrow are fantastic, they think of everything and really look after you. The food was top class and the atmosphere was warm, cosy and welcoming. We would highly recommend Castle Durrow.

Faultless - completely perfect wedding experience, start to finish. The loveliest and most professional of staff to deal with, from the wedding team, to reservations, to the fabulous bar and dining room staff who looked after us and our guests so well on the big day, night and morning after! And not forgetting the lady of the house Shelley Stokes :) So many compliments from our guests on how at home they felt in such a stunning venue - not a hint of stuffiness from anyone. Venue itself is spectacular and food divine - and plentiful! The canapes just kept coming ensuring everyone was warmed and well fed after the ceremony on a cold winter's day. Honestly wish we could do it all over again and really looking forward to going back for our anniversary in a few weeks time :)

We had an amazing experience organising our wedding with Castle Durrow. The staff were wonderful and made our guests feels so welcome. They made wedding planning such an enjoyable experience, particularly Suzanne, Niamh and Lily. All the staff there went above and beyond to make our family and friends feel at home. It was the most perfect wedding venue we could have wished for!

Excellent service, beautiful venue that has an overwhelming sense of authenticity. Quality and friendly staff that are 100% vested in Castle Durrow...we had an amazing day!

As beautiful and stunning as this castle is,the staff really made our special day,there was nothing they didn't do for us.Alot of the staff are local so there just down to earth making the atmosphere homely and relaxed but on the ball in every regard,nothing was left or missed .Food high quality,piping hot tasty & more than enough.Thanks for making my guests enjoy every moment and off course ourselves enjoy the best day off our lives;)

My husband and I live in the Middle East and planned our entire wedding from there. The one thing I wouldn't leave to chance was the venue and after our engagement I flew back to Ireland on a mission.

Because we live abroad and seldom see those we love we wanted something special. We wanted to give our nearest and dearest a day to remember and Castle Durrow certainly delivered.

Castle Durrow is simply stunning... from the impeccable grounds and courtyards to the banquet hall, the grand staircase, chandelier, the details and features in every room. Castle Durrow oozes grandeur without feeling pretentious. One really does feel welcome. You feel the hospitality and warmth and that sense of being 'at home' from the second you walk in the door. That's largely due to the fact that Castle Durrow is family owned and operated, employing members of the local community.

Esther was always a pleasure to bump into in the corridors. James and Donnie were true gents and looked after us so well on the day. Nick took care of everyone at breakfast and even gave us tips for our honeymoon in Mauritius. Lilly took control of the banquet hall to make sure everything ran smoothly and bless her she had her work cut out for her with me trying to keep me in my seat long enough to eat my dinner.

The lead up to the wedding was quite stressful, I had so much to pull together when I got home but Castle Durrow and the team were always on hand to help. Huge credit to our coordinators, Suzanne and Niamh, for keeping me grounded and for dealing with everything so quickly and so calmly. I made some unusual requests and nothing was ever too much trouble. Rooms were changed last minute, our banquet was delayed due to the traffic in the village, Aidan's shirt collar got covered in makeup after the ceremony as we greeted guests but on arriving at Castle Durrow Suzanne took him away and he returned 5 minutes later without a trace. Everything just ran so smoothly. Castle Durrow and the team could not have done more for us.

We hosted a pre wedding Bbq in Bob's bar in the square which CD also did the catering for. Every meal we ate was impeccable over the 3 days we called Castle Durrow home.

In comparison to other venues Castle Durrow is a slightly more expensive choice for couples but a wedding in Castle Durrow is an experience and I feel that the price is reflective of that. The quality of the food, setting, grounds, attention to detail, service provided and the care given to our guests was exceptional.

The Stoke family are obviously very proud of what they have built and you can see that they are constantly reinvesting in the property to further enhance an already exceptional experience for their guests.

We're really looking forward to visiting Castle Durrow again next time we're home, without the pressures of a wedding, and just basking in its beauty, walking the trails, eating good food and taking a trip down to Bob's.

We had a really beautiful wedding day and wouldn't change a thing. The feedback from our guests has been wonderful. Many of them hadn't heard of or visited Castle Durrow before and were blown away by this little gem hiding in the Midlands.

We had such a great day at Castle Durrow. Niamh, Suzanne and team were great from beginning to end. Memories for a lifetime!!

Shelly, Suzanne, Niamh & everyone of the team delivered over & beyond our expectations. We stayed 3 days with them & every day was special for different reasons. The service, the food, the relaxed environment, the professionalism of everyone was exceptional. We would highly recommend Castle Durrow to any wedding planner. You will not be disappointed. My husband reminds me everyday that ?if Carlsberg did weddings they couldn't beat ours?!

Myself and Jennifer got married on the 22nd of July in Castle Durrow. We both live in Dubai so as you can imagine it was a little harder to organise. The staff in Durrow were amazing and catered to all of our needs every time.

We had to outsource some jobs to family members and the staff in Durrow were happy to deal with them at short notice and always accommodated us.

Once we had visited Castle Durrow we both knew that this was the perfect location for our wedding. With our schedules being so busy we were not sure if we would get back for the food tasting. We did however manage to get back one weekend at short notice. After a quick phone call the staff at Durrow organized everything for us allowing us to do the food tasting on a very busy Friday night at such short notice.

The facilities in Castle Durrow were fantastic and all of our guests commented on what an amazing location it was and how professional and friendly the staff were. They literally could not do enough for us.

The weather was perfect and allowed us enjoy their perfectly manacured gardens. Following this the reception was held in their banqueting hall and the food was all served together and to the highest standard.

We had 160 guests so keeping everything on track was a job in itself. This was all taken care of by the staff and all we had to do was enjoy the day.

The following day we enjoyed a BBQ in the gardens of Castle Durrow. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxed just what we wanted after our wedding.

After speaking with our guests after our wedding everybody was so impressed with the attention to detail,quality of the food and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.

We cannot say enough about our experience at Castle Durrow.

I couldn't fault the service! One thing that everyone commented on was the high quality of the food and how beautiful the setting was. I was absolutely delighted with our day! Xxx

Myself and my husband Pat could not recommend Castle Durrow highly enough for this award. Each and every member of the wedding team as well all the other hotel staff we met along the way were highly professional, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nothing was ever too much for Niamh, our wedding co-ordinator, and no matter how many questions I asked (and believe me, there were a lot) or what I needed to confirm she responded to everything so promptly and nothing was ever a problem.
Our wedding day was truly amazing and all the wedding team made us feel so relaxed and special on the day. They never left a stone unturned and many of our guests commented on their friendliness and professionalism.
We could not think of a more amazing venue to get married and we can not wait to go back again soon.

We had the best day of our lives, facilitated by all the excellent staff and management in Castle Durrow.
Planning was meticulous. The wedding and accomodation teams worked to ensure that all details were managed prior to the day. On the day Suzanne and Niamh were on hand for everything. They saw to things that we did not even see!
All of the staff were so friendly and attentive, not just to us but our guests even remarked on the superb service, meal and venue.

Myself and Andrew had our wedding reception here in June of this year and I have to say Durrow Castle is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. From it's castle front, its warm & luxurious rooms, its stunning rose, wild flower & walled gardens (perfect for our wedding photo's), it's very welcoming & friendly staff and finally the most delicious food.

From the moment we met our wedding coordinator we were made feel so very welcome. We weren't rushed and we really felt that our wedding day was as important to them as it was to us.

Our wedding tasting was more than 5 stars, exceptional! We had an amazing evening with the waiters and chefs, lots of giggles and a wonderful complimentary night stay in Durrow Castle.

On the day of our wedding everything ran smoothly and without issues. The service, from drinks to our wonderful meal was once again more than 5 stars. All our family were still talking about the high level of food presentation, quality and taste for weeks after.

Durrow Castle is Pure Perfection! Thank you everyone at Durrow Castle for such an amazing and memorable day!

Myself and my husband had the most magical day at Castle Durrow. We picked the venue after we went to my sister's wedding in Castle Durrow we loved it so much.

Nothing was too much to ask and everything ran so smoothly. The girls in Castle Durrow couldn't have done any more for us and it was just so relaxing, if there were any hiccups we didn't see anything.

Not only that, but the food on the day was absolutely fabulous (everyone still talks about it). We couldn't recommend the place any more, and I know if anyone picks it as their venue it will definitely be a day to remember.

Magical place to get married from start to finish.

As soon as we viewed Castle Durrow we knew we had found our wedding venue - it is beautiful and the perfect setting for a wedding. The wedding reception was set up exactly how we wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful from start to finish and thanks to Niamh, the whole process was stress free as we knew we were in good hands. The food was delicious - people are still commenting six months after our wedding as to how good the food was (especially the sweet potato soup)! We couldn't recommend Castle Durrow enough and can't wait to visit again on our anniversary.

We wanted a venue that would be intimate, rich with character and history and easy to access for our international guests. From our first meeting with Niamh, we knew that Castledurrow was the perfect venue.Professionalism personified, Niamh was on the ball from day one since we were living abroad and it was great peace of mind that she and her team always were on hand to answer any questions. On the day, all the team could not have been more helpful and friendly. Feedback from our guests really said it all, they had a fantastic time. Casteldurrow surpassed our expectations, delivered outstanding service and holds a special place in our lives forever more.

From our very first contact with Castle Durrow we knew it was the place to host our wedding. We loved the chilled out vibe with sheer luxury and no stuffiness.
The wedding team were superb and were always available to offer support and guidance.
We hosted a family meal the night before our wedding at Castle Durrow and we felt the team made a huge effort to get to know our families and to make them feel as special as we felt for our wedding weekend.
We loved our day and wouldn't change a thing. We hope to return to Castle Durrow for many years to come, it will always have a special place in our hearts. X

Castle Durrow is the most amazing venue. We were so lucky to have our wedding there in April.From the first day we saw the place we fell in love and the added bonus is the truly amazing staff and their attention to detail. We opted for the rack of lamb as one of our main courses and it was by far the best I have tasted and the guests have been raving about it since. We can never thank them for everything they did for us. Castle Durrow will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will be back to stay again soon.

We could not have asked for a better venue. The friendliness of the staff from our first enquiry was outstanding. Their professionalism and attention to detail was exactly what one should expect from a high class hotel.

We couldn't recommend Castle Durrow highly enough as a wedding venue. The staff were incredible and extremely helpful . The venue was beautiful and the food was excellent.

Fantastic wedding venue - they took such good care of us and our guests on the day. We didn't have to worry about anything. Everything is done to such a high standard. Beautiful countryside surroundings for walks, pictures etc. Highly recommended!

All the staff at Castle Durrow were so friendly and professional. The atmosphere the staff brought was one of the reasons we picked Castle Durrow. Everyone was so lovely to us and made everything so easy for us. The venue is truly beautiful and our day was perfect. We look forward to many more happy stays at Castle Durrow.

Very professional and accommodating staff who went above and beyond the call of duty when the wedding car failed to turn up and couldn't be contacted, one of the chefs drove the bride and her dad to the church in Thurles. There appears to be no end to what the staff will do to ensure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Can't recommend Castle Durrow highly enough. The whole day was a success.

We had an amazing wedding day in Castle Durrow & thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
The staff exceeded our expectations & went above & beyond to ensure every detail of our day was perfect.

We got married in Jan in Castle Durrow & I couldn't recommend them highly enough.The level of service, friendliness & professionalism of staff,quality of food & overall welcome & warmth in the Castle was excellent.

The hotel were amazing, there were no dramas on the day and everything that was requested (and more) was done to perfection. Fab hotel and lovely staff.

We were looking for a venue that would cater for a small 40ppl wedding with civil ceremony on the site. We found that the wedding team in Castle Durrow were the only ones that treated us as a wedding and not just a private party.
We were very happy with how our day went. Everything was perfect even though we had our doubts as our wedding coordinators changed during the planning process and with anybody answering to emails there was a little confusion and misinformation at times.
The staff of the hotel does know their wedding business though and the day went really smoothly, the venue looked beautiful and everybody were very happy about the food and service.
This venue is really unique with delicious food, amazing grounds and friendly and helpful staff.
I had my hair and make up done by powder box in hotel and was very happy with them as well.

Castle Durrow is an amazing wedding venue. Their attention to detail is outstanding. They cannot do enough for the bridal party from first engagement to final departure. The hotel is fantastic, the reception room is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff take care of so much.
Marie and the staff are so helpful offering good advice throughout. The accommodation is very comfortable and breakfast next morning is really really good which such choices for all tastes. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Excellent from start to finish! Made everyone feel welcome and relaxed, food was amazing and nothing was a problem for any staff member

Absolutely magical wedding venue! Soo happy we chose Castle Durrow for our special day. It's a beautiful enchanting

I cannot recommend Castledurrow as a wedding venue highly enough. From our first visit to Castledurrow we knew we had found our venue. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. They made us feel so comfortable and welcome. The castle itself and the grounds are just perfect. We were blessed with great weather on the day and the photographs turned out amazing! Marie Laffan, the wedding co ordinator was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was so helpful and supportive throughout the build up to our wedding. Marie was so professional and accommodating. ... nothing was too much trouble! We cannot thank Marie and all the staff enough..... You helped to make our day run so smoothly : ) The amount of positive comments we have received about Castledurrow from friends and family has been unreal. ... everyone is still raving about the place : ) I would highly recommend Castledurrow as a wedding venue.... you would not be disappointed! !

We had our wedding reception in Castle Durrow in March 2014 and our guests are still talking about it!
Everything from the surroundings, food, service and the wonderful staff were second to none, the attention to detail was superb and everything ran like clockwork.
We would advise anyone seeking a wedding venue to look no further than Castle Durrow!
A big thank you to Marie Laffan, who went above and beyond her call of duty and for helping to make our wedding day such a memorable one.

We got married at CD in July 2011 and could not rave enough about the experience. We live in Canada and arranged all the details with Marie via email - she was meticulous, organized, helpful and quick in responding to our many questions. The Castle is SPECTACULAR! After seeing photos online we were even more impressed after seeing the venue in person. The service and food were excellent and of very high quality. The day went as perfectly as we could ever have hoped for - no unpleasant surprises at CD, they are true professionals!

Just a little note to thank you so much for all of your help, wonderful service and professionism over the past few days and months. You made our wedding so speical and for that we will be forever grateful. We hope to see you this time next year for our first anniversary. Thanks again for everything.

Our son and daughter in law had their wedding reception at this venue. One word suffices to describe the whole event over 2 days ? PERFECTION. If you are planning a wedding, and have the budget, book here. The staff, the food, the facilities, the garden ? everything was as good as it could be.

Thank you so much for looking after everything for our wedding. The team at Durrow looked after us extremely well and everything was so professional at all times. You were fabulous and made things very easy for us. ( the last minute tissue was an in genius idea!!). We will be back soon and will bring loads of friends. We will also recommend you to everyone we know. Thanks again.

Thanks for everything these past few months. You made everything run so smoothly and we never doubted that you guys would give us the most amazing wedding day. You?re a superstar!

To all the Durrow Team - We couldn't have wished for a better day- your venue, service & efficiency is second to none.

You sold it to us from DAY 1. Thank you for all your patience!! Lots of love
