A closer look
A place with character.
Luttrellstown is the grandest thing on this list and prices accordingly. The castle sits in 560 private acres on the western edge of Dublin, with a walled garden, a lake and a ballroom, and it can be taken exclusively with 25 bedrooms in the castle.
The address is the selling point: this level of estate, twenty minutes from the city and half an hour from the airport. For a smaller wedding, ask which rooms are used rather than assuming the main ballroom.
