A closer look
A place with character.
Clonwilliam takes one wedding at a time and hands over the whole property, which is the difference between a venue you share and a house that is yours for the day. The setting is the Vale of Avoca, all hills and woodland, about an hour and a quarter from Dublin.
There are no bedrooms in the hire, so accommodation is nearby in Woodenbridge or Arklow. Ceremonies happen on site and all inclusive packages are available.
