Dún Laoghaire · Co. Dublin
National Maritime Museum of Ireland
A restored 19th century Mariner's Church in Dún Laoghaire, with stained glass and a huge lantern.
A closer look
A place with character.
The old Mariner's Church is one of the most dramatic ceremony rooms in the country, with coloured light coming through Victorian glass and a lighthouse optic in the middle of the floor. It is taken exclusively.
Dún Laoghaire is on the DART line with the pier, the harbour and plenty of restaurants a short walk away, so the rest of the day organises itself. Outside caterers are allowed.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- How long do you get the church, and is the museum closed during it?
- Are there restrictions on music or decoration?
- Which caterers have worked here?
A little more of the place
