Described as Ireland's Ultimate Wedding Venue, the eclectic and utterly fabulous Ballinacurra House is a coastal gem in Ireland’s gourmet capital, Kinsale, Co Cork. This 18th Century luxury 'must-see' Manor House sits on 40 acres of breath-taking grounds and brings back old-world opulence and personal service in a cosmopolitan and totally private way.

Their weddings focus on a more personalised approach – as couples now realise that ambience of exclusivity offers so much more – and the occasion is all about them – rather than just another wedding day.
Choosing Ballinacurra House for your wedding is a unique experience that impresses guest from the moment they arrive leaving them talking long after the celebrations have ended. It's is no wonder that Ireland's elite flock to this estate and couples from as far as Dubai, Australia & the US can’t get enough of this magical, West Cork gem.
A private house party wedding with enormous style and atmosphere and quite possibly the best location in Ireland – Kinsale – a superb smart town with a cool cosmopolitan vibe, 65 bars and restaurants, 20 mins from the airport and often referred to as the Irish Riviera.
The house itself exudes country charm but with a cosmopolitan twist and every nook and cranny themed to reflect the travels of the owners. Indoors, each room in the house has been meticulously themed offering 22 suites throughout the Main House, Cottage and Coach House as well as various lounge and entertainment rooms.
Some uniuqe features at Ballinacurra, the Cuban Cocktail Lounge and the exclusive Motown inspired Bubbly Bar and accompanying Champagne Garden on the front lawn are an added bonus for weddings where you can enjoy a tipple after taking stunning photographs with your bridal party by the waterside – giving your day a truly exotic destination feel.
