01Welcome

Yours, entirely

Most venues give you a function room and a finish time. Ballinderry Park gives you the keys. For your wedding, the entire estate — the manor, the coach house, the glamping village, every acre of parkland — belongs to you and the people you love. No other guests. No other event. No bar full of strangers.

That changes the shape of the day. Your ceremony can be under the trees at noon or by the fire at four. Dinner runs as long as the stories do. And when the music finally stops, nobody calls a taxi — your closest people are asleep upstairs, and tomorrow starts with a full Irish breakfast together.

This brochure has everything in it — the spaces, the beds, the menus and the honest numbers. When you’re ready, you can price your whole wedding yourself in about three minutes with our package builder.

02The Story

Seven centuries in the townland of the oak trees

Ballinderry — Baile an Doire, the townland of the oak trees — has been somewhere worth travelling to for a very long time. Marrying here means writing your chapter into a story that started before Ireland had printed books.

1280
The lands belong to Kilconnell Friary, a Franciscan foundation whose ruins still stand nearby. Pilgrims have been coming this way ever since.
c. 1740
The house is built — a small, perfectly proportioned Georgian country house on the plains of East Galway, recorded today in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
1800s
Home to the Comyn family for over two centuries. Andrew Comyn marries Mary, granddaughter of Daniel O’Connell — the Liberator himself.
2000
After decades standing silent, George and Susie Gossip begin a painstaking restoration — reversing Victorian alterations and returning the panelled interiors to their early eighteenth-century character.
2024
Rowan and Laoise become the latest custodians, opening the whole estate for exclusive use — weddings, gatherings and slow weekends among the oaks.

03Your Day

One estate, every scene of the day

From two of you to two hundred — the estate scales to the wedding you actually want. Up to 44 of your favourite people stay over; for bigger celebrations, marquees on the lawn seat up to 200 for dinner and dancing.

The walled garden and parkland at Ballinderry Park — The ceremony
Say it under open Galway sky — on the lawns beneath the oaks, or beside the parkland’s great London plane tree. If the weather turns, the drawing room’s fireplaces make the warmest plan B in Ireland.

The drawing room
Champagne, speeches and that first married hour — period fireplaces, deep sofas and three centuries of good conversation soaked into the walls.

The dining room set for dinner — The dinner
Intimate weddings dine in the manor’s candlelit dining room. Larger parties feast in a festoon-lit marquee on the lawn — tables, chairs and heaters included, dance floor strongly encouraged.

The coach house bar — The late bar & the morning after
The coach house has its own private bar and terrace for the night owls. Then the best part nobody plans for: everyone back around one long table for breakfast, retelling the whole day.

04Stay

Beds for the people who matter

Forty-four guests sleep on the estate across three very different homes — so the wedding doesn’t end at midnight, it just moves rooms.

Six bedrooms · sleeps 14

The Manor House

The heart of the wedding. Grand entrance hall, drawing rooms, library and the dining room downstairs; upstairs, the Blue, Grey and Pink Suites with the Yellow and Blue Rooms — period fireplaces, deep baths and views over the parkland. The couple’s suite is, naturally, the best room in the house.

Four bedrooms · sleeps 12

The Coach House

The party annex. Its own kitchen, log-burning stove, private terrace and — crucially — its own bar. Four en-suite rooms named for the estate: the Curlew, the Grove, the Hawthorn and the Heather. Perfect for the bridal party the night before, and the session the night of.

Three pods · sleeps 18

The Glamping Village

For the friends who’d pick stars over ceilings: a Mongolian yurt, a canopy tent and the twelve-bunk Safari Bunk House, tucked into the grounds a short stroll from the music, with a shared shower and bathroom block close by.
