Lisnavagh is a large 19th century Tudor Gothic house, set within 800 acres of parkland in County Carlow. It is a beautiful and enchanting sanctuary for wedding parties, whatever the season.
See How it works
Licensed for civil ceremonies, the Brick Barn and the Yew Walk are Lisnavagh’s unique ceremonial locations for exchanging vows. Only a three-minute walk from the house, and easily accessible by car, or pony and trap, both places have a curiously exotic ambience with close proximity of lush vegetation, mature leafy trees and birdsong.

The Yew Walk ceremony space is a magical tree tunnel formed from 160 year old yew trees. There are few things more magical than finding yourself under a canopy of trees on some warm summers evening to exchange vows amidst the bird song and fresh country air.
Constructed with red bricks that were baked on the Lisnavagh estate over 160 years ago, with a dash of modern ingenuity, the brick-fronted reservoir now serves as a charming location for the exchange of vows. Light floods into the circular structure between the twelve-foot high walls and the conical roof, which is shaped almost like a traditional Vietnamese rice hat.

We had the most wonderful weekend at Lisnavagh House on the occasion of my daughter Clares wedding to Matthew. Everything was perfect, the house, the grounds and the exceptional hospitality. Clare grew up in the UK with Irish roots and really wanted to find a venue that reflected that, and she did.Some of Matt and Clares friends had never visited Ireland before and they all said how much they loved it along with the opportunity to all stay together in one place.I would like to say a special thank you to Ann & Brid for their patience and friendliness as we popped in and out of the kitchen to borrow scissors etc the morning of the wedding. Breakfast was just fabulous. Anns scones were the best we have ever tasted. I will have to go and practice a bit more!Thank you all for everything, and not forgetting Niamh who throughout the year has met Clares every enquiry with a “Yes”. We couldn't have wished for a better weekend.We hope to revisit Lisnavagh
