The Donegal Wedding Weekend

 

A wedding at Rockhill is not a single day; it is a chapter in your story. Across 100 acres of ancient woodland and 17th-century grandeur, we invite you to host a 72-hour celebration. Couples seeking an exclusive wedding venue in Donegal frequently choose our three-day format to ensure their guests can fully immerse themselves in the Spirit of Place.

Day One

The Welcome & Ritual

As your closest family and friends arrive, the weekend begins with a sense of calm and anticipation. Settle into our 27 individually designed bedrooms before gathering for rehearsal drinks.

  •  Option to add twilight relaxation at The Wellhouse Spa
  • Rehearsal dinner in the golden Stewart Dining Room
  • Nightcaps featuring Crolly Distillery whiskey in the Library Bar.
Day Two

The Main Event

The estate is yours. From morning prep in the Vandeleur Suite to the first dance under the stars, the day flows seamlessly between our historic and contemporary spaces.

The Vows

Hosted in the picturesque Gallery or on the lawns overlooking the River Swilly valley.

The Feast

An award-winning banquet served in the glass-and-stone Orangerie.

The Dance

A legendary Irish reception that continues until the small hours in the privacy of the estate.
