Ireland
A barn venue in Westmeath with a separate ceremony sanctuary and a bar with a whiskey room.

A closer look
The Village Barn splits the day across spaces that each do one job well: the Sanctuary for the ceremony, Willie's Bar and its whiskey room for the drinks, and the barn itself for dinner and dancing. Legal ceremonies can happen on site.
Tyrrellspass is a planned village on the green in Westmeath, straight off the M6, roughly an hour from Dublin. Prices start lower than most, and all inclusive packages are available.
