The Ceremony

For newlyweds-to-be you can opt to have your ceremony within the confines of the beautiful Fitzpatrick Castle or at a local church. Close by to the hotel you'll find Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, Sts. Alphonsus and Columba Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Trinity Church of Ireland – depending on your denomination. OR you could opt for a ceremony within the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel, its elegant ambiance has been the cherished setting for countless Civil Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships, infusing each occasion with grace and splendour. Their dedicated team of wedding co-ordinators will customise your very own Civil Ceremony package to suit your Dublin wedding venue needs.

With packages varying based on numbers from 30 to 280 guests, The Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel also offers garden ceremonies that are – of course – weather dependent. In every package, you’ll walk down red-carpeted aisle past candle-lit lanterns to a floral centre-piece on the registrar’s table.

The Reception

Imagine this: after the ceremony, your guests begin to mill in the Fitzpatrick Castle, greeted by a Prosecco and craft beer reception, with a mini–Afternoon Tea that includes a selection of fresh finger sandwiches, homemade scones served with clotted cream and jam alongside tea & coffee. In the exclusive historic Castle ballroom, tables are dressed with a crisp white linen with your choice of a range of stylish bespoke chairs. There are personalised menus on every table framed in gold-gilded Georgian mirrors and seasonal floral centrepieces or candelabras.

Your guests will enjoy a five-course dinner with choice of main course and a half bottle of recommended wine for each guest. After your dancing is finished, guests can then enjoy a Chef’s selection of hot finger food and a late-night bar.

All this, in the Vico Package for just €129 per person, Sunday to Thursday and €139 per person Friday and Saturday with a minimum number of 100 adults.

If you want to opt for the Sorrento Package, priced at €149 per person Sunday to Thursday and €159 per person Friday and Saturday with a minimum number of 80 adults – your guests will have a bespoke gin bar at your reception with a waiter serving classic Castle canapés, and the afterparty will include delicious mini fish and chip cones and homemade sliders and chips with their late night bar. Included in the Sorrento Package is also the opportunity to enjoy a Prosecco or drink of your choice to toast the happy couple (i.e. you and your partner!)!

You’ll be a happy couple indeed because included in both wedding packages is the use of the historic 1847 Castle wing & private gardens. Before your big day, you’re invited to their award-winning Mapas Restaurant for your chosen wedding menu tasting. You’ll be gifted a complimentary bridal suite with a delicious Champagne breakfast, and your guests can enjoy preferred rates for up to 15 rooms for the night of your wedding (subject to availability). And then, a year later, the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel invites you back to celebrate your first anniversary with dinner in their award-winning Mapas Restaurant!

Doesn’t that sound glorious?
