We do love a good garden for those all-important wedding photographs. Take a look at these beauties…
Radisson Blu St. Helen’s Hotel
Four acres of formal gardens overlooking Dublin Bay sets the tone for this impressive 1750 stately mansion. Elegantly landscaped with bursts of colourful fresh flowers, these grounds exude charm and are sure to make your wedding photographs pop.
Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links
Em, is this seriously in Ireland? On a sunny day, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in hotter climates abroad. Steeped in history, thanks to the 1907 marriage of the Jameson and Haig families of whiskey dynasty fame, King Edward VII unveiled a wedding plaque to commemorate their love. Over 100 years later, this can still be seen in the secret south walled garden – and it’s tradition for wedding couples to strike a pose here. Oh, and did we mention the stunning Velvet Strand beach is literally on the hotel’s doorstep. Take us there now.
Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club
A fairytale of colourful lanterns sitting amidst the majestic surroundings of the Glen of the Downs. Glenview Hotel are the masters of outdoor ceremonies and summer celebrations. Their resident Wedding Planner, Alina, works with each couple to help decorate and plan according to their theme – and the results are simply beautiful. Boasting views of the Wicklow Mountains, these gardens are just picture perfect.

A piece of whimsical magic in the heart of the Boyne Valley. We fall head over heels for The Station House Hotel every time.
