About Belleek Castle

Belleek Castle is a boutique castle dating from 1831, with period bedrooms, a medieval banqueting hall for up to 200 guests and a museum on site, set in countryside near Ballina in Co. Mayo.

Belleek Castle dates from 1831 and stands in open countryside at Garrankeel, near Ballina in Co. Mayo. It is run as a boutique castle for weddings, with period bedrooms, open fires and a Banqueting Hall that gives the day a historic setting.

Three spaces suit different group sizes. The Restaurant, in the former library of the manor house, and the restored nineteenth-century stables and courtyard both suit parties of up to 50. The stables keep their rustic interior brickwork untouched. For larger weddings, the Medieval Banqueting Hall sits in the stone-arched vaults of the former Belleek Abbey, which date back to the fourteenth century, and holds up to 200 guests. The gardens offer a backdrop for photographs, and there are further settings inside the house. A museum on site holds one of the largest private collections of Jurassic fossils and medieval armoury, and guided tours can be arranged for wedding guests. Exclusive use of the castle is available.

The staff went above and beyond

I cannot recommend the staff at Belleek castle enough. They went above and beyond for us to make our day special - Elaine the wedding planner is an angel. We had just over 130 guests which was a perfect number for the space and the photo backdrops available are unreal. The food was absolutely fantastic also!

Could not imagine a better venue

My wife and had our big day at Belleek Castle and we couldn't imagine a better venue. We viewed many venues and the decision to get married at Belleek was easy once we had seen the location and spoke to the wonderful staff. We were amazed by how attentive, accommodating and professional they were, while also making us feel like part of the family. The rooms, the food and drinks and the grounds all exceed expectations! We will be back as often as possible!

Belleek Castle is THE place to get married

Belleek Castle is THE place to get married. Our family and friends said our wedding was unlike anything they had ever experienced, and we agreed! Not only are the castle and surrounding grounds stunning in their own right, the staff are incredible. Not a single detail is overlooked, nor any request left unmet. They went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations of service

The most beautiful, unforgettable day

We got married at Belleek Castle last week, and it was the most beautiful, unforgettable day. The team at Belleek made the whole planning experience feel easier, always very responsive to queries in the months running up to the big day. Eva & Elaine were absolute angels. We felt at ease for the most thanks to them and the day went without a hitch. Could not recommend Belleek enough; it's one of the most beautiful places you'll ever come across, and it was a privilege to have our wedding here
