Wedding Venue FAQs

Of course, arrange a viewing at a time of your choosing! Our team are always happy to help, arrange in advance by emailing our Wedding Team weddings@therine.ie 

The minimum numbers on our Packages is 120 Adults for weekends and 90 Adults for Midweek dates. More intimate wedding receptions are also warmly welcome, however a venue hire fee will apply on top of your chosen package.

Absolutely, we can hold a date for a maximum of 2 weeks, after which time the date will automatically be released. If the hotel receives another enquiry for that date within these 2 weeks, the hotel will contact you at which time a deposit will be required to confirm the date.

We require a €1500 booking deposit to confirm your wedding date. We do offer a Flexi Payment Plan for this. A further €2500 is requested 3 months in advance of your wedding date, with the balance paid on departure. We will issue you with a receipt on first payment along with a Wedding Contract which will need to be signed to confirm your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions: Deposits are non refundable.

We charge €10 per 75cl bottle of still wine and €15 per 75cl bottle of sparkling wine or Champagne.

The Bar Extension until 2am is included with our Wedding Packages. For more intimate gatherings, the fee will be added to your bill.

We include a bedroom allocation (including any rooms within your package), and this is automatically held once you confirm your date. Six weeks prior to your wedding date, any un-named rooms will be automatically released. If you require more than the set allocation, we review on a case by case basis depending on our availability. Any additional rooms will be at the "on the day" rate.

In the event of a cancellation, charges will be applied to Food, Beverage, Bar Extension and Accommodation costs as follows:

• Greater than 12 months from the wedding date - Non Refundable Deposit
• 12 months to 8 months - 10% cancellation charge
• 8 months to 3 months - 25% cancellation charge
• 12 weeks to 5 weeks - 50% cancellation charge
• Within 4 weeks - 100% cancellation charge

Should you wish to postpone your wedding date, we can transfer your booking deposit to a new date within 12 months of the original date booked, with no penalty.

We sure do. The Sun Room can accommodate up to 50 Guests for a small Ceremony and The Patio Room can accommodate up to 130 Guests for a Wedding Ceremony. Should you require a larger space, Civil Ceremonies can also take place in the Ballyhannon Suite. Our team can turn around this space for your wedding dinner and dancing after the Ceremony.

Yes we can offer a variety of options including use of our Castlefergus Suite, or a BBQ in the Ballyhannon Garden

Wedding couples can benefit from a viewing area specifically for The Rine wedding guests with Dromoland Castle and Lake as a backdrop for stunning imagery.  We regret images taken in and around the Castle itself is not possible but we provide plentiful opportunities for great backdrops at The Rine.

This is entirely up to you as a couple - as a general rule, most couples would arrange this for 3 months prior to the wedding date.
