We have found the quirkiest, most unusual and interesting wedding venues across Ireland. If you are searching for alternative wedding venues in Ireland, there is bound to be something here that you will fall in love with. There is no denying the beauty of a modern hotel or the cosiness of a country house, but for some couples, only alternative wedding venues will do! And if that’s you, you are in the right place.

Finding the perfect place to say ‘I do’ can prove to be difficult if you’re on the hunt for an alternative wedding venue that fits with your style, personality and preferences as a couple. Luckily, we have sourced and found the best rustic barns, restored churches that serve food, boat houses, old mills, quirky secret fairy trails, and iconic period buildings (and everything in between) that you will definitely fall in love with.

You can browse through our alternative wedding venues by county, price per guest, number of guests, additional filters (like ‘Island Venue’ or ‘City Venue’, for example) or simply browse through the list and take a peek at each one of them.

Amongst these unusual and alternative wedding venues, you will find an orangery under glass, a billiard room for informal parties, relaxed barbecues, interesting seasonal menus, an 18th Century chapel with stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, chapel bars, a candle lit pathway through the orchard, a rustic old mill with original brick work, a magical wooded grove along the banks of a river, a beautifully renovated rustic barn, a vintage style Indian marquee (fit with a vintage VW campervan to use however you like) a Bohemian style wedding venue, and pretty much anything else you could dream of!

We guarantee you will love at least one of these alternative wedding venues. It doesn’t matter how fussy you are!
