Please scroll down using arrows. Firstly we would like to congratulate you on your engagement!!! Thank you for considering The Castle …. Situated in Belleek Forest just outside Ballina ,Co Mayo on the beautiful rugged west of Ireland coast (40 mins drive from Knock Airport) Belleek Castle is one of Irelands historic stately homes expertly restored into the splendid building it is today by the eccentric Marshal Doran. The Castle consists of sixteen en-suite bedrooms, The Armada Bar, (so named due to the relics from the Spanish Armada Galleons wrecked off the West Coast in 1588) The Tween Deck, Extensive Gourmet Restaurant (with an extensive la carte and gourmet nine-course menu, and The Medieval Banqueting Hall seating 200 comfortably). Local amenities include fishing, shooting horse riding, golfing and the famous Victorian seaweed baths of Enniscrone. The open fires and unpretentious hospitality along with our years of experience combine to make a wedding at The Package….

Each wedding is tailor-made to suit your needs, but we will try to give you a picture of what your day could be like …. To wake up in a four poster bed, excited that after so much planning that the day has finally arrived. A light breakfast with family and friends, after which you get ready for the ceremony, a civil reception may be held in Castlebar, and there are many churches from Cathedrals to the famous Ballintubber (www.ballintubber.com) to choose from. Everyone arrives back to the castle to a summer punch, mulled wine reception or a drink in the Armada Bar. A selection of handmade canopies are being served on our feathered glass platters, your guest's can relax and chat in the atmosphere of the live harp or traditional Irish music. When the photographs are finished and the Bride & Groom are ready, we call for the Wedding Banquet. The meal is usually 4 courses (choice of 2 starters, soup/sorbet, 2 main courses, 2 desserts) with a separate menu for vegetarians. The menu choice written below is extensive and if there are any favourite dishes you would like ….again, no problem. All the food is cooked “a la carte” there is no cook-chill or hot holding ovens in the castle whatsoever! The wine (chosen by you with the chef to compliment the meal) is enjoyed by all in the magnificent surroundings of the Candlelit Banqueting Hall. The “ting” of the glass beckons the speeches, a toast of Again, when the guests are ready the live music starts and everyone begins to party, but dancing drinking, reminiscing and having fun makes people hungry at the strangest times, so about eleven the buffet is presented in the Tween Deck. This insures fuel for everyone to dance till the early hours to your DJ. If the wedding party is staying the next night, don't worry about getting up …. have a brunch instead of a breakfast and spend a relaxed day with your family and friends. Once again it's very hard to be specific about the weddings every couples wants are different, but hopefully we have given you a feel of what you can expect at The Menu's The Canapies….
