Turrets and towers will be the backdrop to your wedding photographs, while the timelessness of Johnstown Castle’s elegant rooms will add a sense of history to your ceremony.

Be part of 800 years of history with a wedding venue as unique as you are. Johnstown Castle offers a magical setting for ceremonies, breath-taking photography, and elegant drinks receptions.

Say ‘I do’ in a historic castle surrounded by lush gardens and lakeside views. The dramatic, neo-gothic architecture of Johnstown Castle, with its sumptuously furnished rooms and enchanting gardens, offers a magnificent backdrop for your special day.

Make Johnstown Castle your own and we’ll help plan the perfect castle wedding celebration.

A Choice of Romantic Settings

Stage your ceremony in the castle’s period rooms, overlooking the lake, as swans glide idly by and peacocks roam the gorgeous gardens. The room’s ornate wood panelling, crystal chandeliers, and gothic window frames all add to the atmosphere for you and your guests.

Or consider our newly restored East Wing, which houses both the magnificent Ballroom and the intimate Oratory. These exquisite spaces provide the perfect setting for couples looking to blend historic charm with modern elegance.

Breathtaking Scenery for Your Special Day

Let your guests indulge in champagne and canapés or enjoy a charming picnic on the lawns while you take your wedding photos amidst the stunning beauty of Johnstown Castle’s vibrant gardens. Our team will work closely with your photographer to discover the perfect lakeside and garden spots, ensuring your wedding album is filled with breathtaking, unforgettable moments.
