Stunning Location for Wedding Receptions, Banquets or Wedding Photographs

Beautiful…  ‘It forms an event in one’s life to have seen that place, so beautiful is it, and so unlike all other beauties that I know of. Were such beauties lying upon the English shores, it would be a world’s wonder, perhaps if it were on the Mediterranean or the Baltic, English travellers would flock to it by hundreds. Why not come and see it in Ireland.’    William Makepeace Thackery

Westport House is a truly unique Venue for your Special Wedding in Ireland. Designed by the famous Architects Richard Cassels and James Wyatt, Westport House has many architecturally stunning rooms but those used for Weddings are by far the most exquisite.
