From a photographer’s perspective, this gorgeous manor home is a dream for capturing your most important moments and memories.
While the interior of the house is truly breath-taking, it also sits within stunning mature parklands with many vantage points for amazing photographs.
There are a number of ceremony options at Ballykealey House, both indoor & outdoor:

The Tulip Tree
On these shores, the tulip tree (Liriodendron) is rare. The 100-year-old specimen on the lawn at Ballykealey is one of the oldest in Ireland. That makes the Tulip Tree a special place for any part of your wedding day.

The Fountain
For a truly unique ceremony, seat your guests in a circular formation around the fountain.

The Barnyard
The fabulous barnyard, which was part of the original Lecky farmhouse, is the perfect spot for your ceremony, this has been recently renovated and is perfect for those looking for a more rustic ambience for their wedding. With exposed stone walls, towering wooden beams and a charm that is amplified by plenty of natural light, it is one of the most beautiful venues for a wedding ceremony.

The Woodland
A unique setting nestled in the woodland under the canopies of the Oak trees, exchange vows in this wonderful setting at one with nature.

If you would prefer a church wedding, there are a number of catholic churches located within 10 minutes’ drive.
