The Space at Cloughjordan House

One of the things we love most about Cloughjordan House is just how versatile the venue is - you really can make this place your own! From the wild forest to the rustic woodshed, right up to the stunning ballroom, there's a space to suit all tastes.

• The 17th Century Ballroom is perfect for ceremonies, dancing, or anything you can think of. With high ceilings, sash windows and a roaring fire, it's an atmospheric setting in which to party the night away.
• The venue's sweeping lawn, gorgeous woodland area, or rustic woodshed are also ideal for ceremonies.
• For church ceremonies, you can tie the knot locally in Cloughjordan Village, with the reception waiting for you and your guests at the House.
• After your ceremony, guests can enjoy cocktails and canapés in the garden with lawn games, or, indoors, in the House's beautiful sitting rooms. 
• The Garden Marquee is perfect for your wedding feast, and after the meal you can move through the double doors into the ballroom to get the party started.
