A Choice of Romantic Settings
Host your ceremony in one of Johnstown Castle’s magnificent period rooms, welcoming intimate gatherings of 2 to 70 guests in a setting steeped in romance and elegance. Celebrate your day overlooking the tranquil lake, where swans drift gracefully across the water and peacocks wander through the castle’s breathtaking gardens.

The ambiance is both grand and intimate, perfect for couples seeking a wedding that is personal, magical, and unique.
Make the East Wing your own for you and up to 70 guests, transforming the breathtaking, gold leaf ceilinged Ballroom and the intimate Oratory with your chosen décor, florals, and personal touches.
These spaces are perfect for couples who want to style their day to reflect their bespoke vision, whether it’s an intimate elopement or a full celebration, blending historic charm with personal touches.
Breathtaking Scenery for Your Special Day
While you slip away for photographs, your guests can enjoy champagne and canapés or a relaxed picnic on the lawns.
From quiet proposals and engagement sessions to wedding day portraits, Johnstown Castle offers a beautiful setting for each part of the journey. With lakeside views, formal terraces and hidden garden corners all within easy reach, the estate lends itself to unhurried, natural photographs.
We work alongside your photographer to suggest the best locations and timings, so the experience feels relaxed and the images reflect both the surroundings and the spirit of the day.
