A Venue That Has It All
Tankardstown isn’t just a wedding venue, it’s an entire experience, carefully curated to unfold seamlessly across one beautiful estate. From the moment your guests arrive, the tone is set: this is a private celebration, and yours alone.
Preparations in our secret garden set the tone for the day. ‘The Secret Garden’ allows you and your wedding party to come together to enjoy the experience of getting ready on the morning of your wedding. The homely décor creates the perfect atmosphere for you and your bridal party to enjoy all aspects of preparation for your big day. From hair and make-up, to those all important candid photos in a beautiful space that allows you to enjoy an early morning breakfast with your nearest and dearest.

Ceremonies can be held outdoors in the romantic Walled Garden, or in the light-filled Orangery. Each space offers a distinctive charm and versatility for your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand affair, the estate can host up to 250 guests while still feeling personal and full of heart.
With exclusive use of the venue, your celebration is never shared. You and your guests have the full run of the estate, from morning preparations in the Secret Garden Suite to late-night dancing in the Orangery.

From golden-hour portraits beneath the trees to sunset speeches in the Orangery, every space at Tankardstown is designed to let your love story shine.

With beautifully appointed accommodation on site for over 100 guests, you and your loved ones can settle in, reconnect, and celebrate without rushing from place to place. Courtyard Cottage Suites, the Main House rooms, and nearby partner options provide comfort, privacy, and even dog-friendly stays.
