The Ceremony

‘VOTA VITA MEA’ – ‘MY LIFE IS DEVOTED’

Killruddery House is a magnificent Tudor Revival mansion with an original 17th-Century foundation.

The Orangery, The Dining Room, The Library and our renovated Grain Store all provide stunning heritage settings for a wondrous reception or wedding ceremony.

We are HSE registered to hold civil ceremonies as well as Solemniser and Humanist ceremonies or partnership blessings.

The Wedding Party

Once the ceremony and drinks reception have finished, we can get the dining and party started! The Grain Store can be arranged to offer a fantastic dancing space, revealed after the final course. Open the doors and allow the party to spill into the open-air, where wood firepits burn bright and dancing continues under the stars.

  • Grain store

    176 GUESTS

    The Grain Store is Killruddery’s charming 19th-Century barn conversion in our Horse Yard, the ultimate rustic-chic venue for dinner and dancing.

    After your marriage ceremony, a pathway leads your guests through our Formal Gardens to a charming heritage courtyard strung with lights. Through double-height barn doors, surprise your close friends and family with the Grain Store’s characterful open-plan interior.

    Killruddery’s long feasting tables offer a natural, bohemian style.

  • The Orangery

    176 GUESTS 

    The Orangery, a Victorian conservatory of flaunting beauty, offers magical solemnity for a ceremony or an extraordinary space for a celebration drinks and canapes.

    Inspired by the Renaissance gardens of Italy, our marble statuary lends a classical, romantic style.

    As The Orangery is not a heated space it is best to plan for wedding ceremonies between April & October.

  • The Drawing Room

    70 GUESTS

    Our beautiful, bright Drawing Room is a hidden treasure at Killruddery.

    The lavish neoclassical interior boasts magnificent scagliola pillars, ceiling stucco plasterwork and walls lined with gold brocade silk panels.

  • The Library

    30 GUESTS

    In the heart of the house, The Library is opulently decorated in the Carolean style with an old Hollywood touch. The rich, teal-green walls complement the lustrous dark wood chimney-piece and overmantel.

    Host a beautiful drinks reception with views across the Long Ponds.

  • The Dining Room

    18 GUESTS

    Connected to The Orangery, our formal Dining Room is ideal for small-party celebration drinks for up to eighteen guests.

    The room boasts a stunning stucco ceiling and tall windows that look out to a meditative vista across our Long Ponds to an ornate, sparkling fountain.

Our Kitchen

We celebrate seasonal food and the art of slow-grown hospitality. We offer exceptional ingredient-led wedding menu options, rooted in a soil-to-table ethos. 

We raise lamb, pork and beef here on the estate. Vegetables are grown in our Walled Garden, using sustainable methods. Where we do not grow something ourselves, we seek out the very best ingredients from local producers.

Our Ethos

Our Gardens

Our Gardening Team works year-round to beautifully conserve our 800-acre estate - including Killruddery's iconic 17th-Century Formal Gardens.

A wedding celebration here has a decadent backdrop, with landscaped views of lawns, groves, flowering woods, a Walled Garden and a maze. The main Parterre has beautiful statues and water features including our Long Ponds.

Visit Gardens
  • Cut Flowers

    Honouring Nature as part of your celebration, Killruddery Flowers are seasonally grown on the estate and arranged in our Flower Studio in Killruddery Yard.

    Our florists create bespoke hand-tied bouquets, buttonholes, and floral installations designed to complement both your vision and the setting, using sustainable, earth-friendly practices.

Testimonials

Myself and Sam wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all your
hard work running up to and on Saturday. Everything worked out
amazingly well! A number of guests mentioned how well you managed everything in particular and myself and Sam noticed how much effort you put into ensuring things were running smoothly – thank you!

Alison - May 2019

We cannot thank all the staff at Killruddery enough. We had the greatest time at our wedding party and so did all our guests. Your passion to ensure we had everything to our liking, and the seamless way you ran the whole event was amazing, we are so grateful.

Isaac - June 2019

We honestly cannot thank you enough for everything you did! We had the best day ever. Everything was absolutely perfect. We are so appreciative of all the hard work that went into organising the wedding! The food was absolutely brilliant and everyone was raving about it, so please thank the chef for the wonderful meal. The bar staff were all so welcoming and friendly which made everyone feel so relaxed. I really can’t express how much we enjoyed it all. Our
guests had an absolute blast! Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts, it will be a day we will never forget.

Sophie - July 2019

We hosted a wonderful pre-wedding event at Killruddery this past summer. We were travelling from the US and were hosting an Indian-cultural wedding event (all of which made us nervous since we were trying to plan this event abroad) but working with the Killruddery event team was such a great experience and we ended up having one of my most favourite nights at the Grain Store. The team went above and beyond to accommodate an usual event with an unusual set up - they worked with me on everything from the food, decor, layout of the room, music etc. Our guests were not only blown away by the beautiful Orangery and the Grain Store but also the staff and bartenders, who were each so friendly and even got into the event themselves! I cannot recommend this place enough for an event (or even just a visit!) I hope to be able to go back someday.
