A Storybook Setting for the Modern Couple
Set on 500 private acres of pristine countryside, Mount Juliet Estate is more than just a wedding hotel in Kilkenny—it’s a destination in its own right.

A Place Your Guests Will Love as Much as You Do
Weddings are about more than one perfect day—they’re about the people who come together to celebrate with you. At Mount Juliet Estate, your guests are treated to the kind of hospitality and experience that turns a celebration into a holiday.
They’ll enjoy luxurious accommodation in our elegantly appointed rooms and suites, dine on menus created by Michelin-starred chefs, and unwind in the estate’s serene surroundings. From afternoon walks through the walled gardens to morning swims in the tranquil indoor pool, everything is designed to indulge and delight.
Picture-Perfect in Every Season
There’s a reason Mount Juliet is among the most photographed wedding venues in Kilkenny. Every corner of the estate offers an extraordinary backdrop—from the ivy-clad walls of the manor to the sweeping riverbanks and vibrant gardens.
Spring brings new blossoms. Summer stretches long into golden evenings. Autumn wraps the estate in rich amber tones. And in winter, the quiet beauty of the frost-covered grounds feels almost otherworldly. No matter the season, the stage is always set for breathtaking moments and timeless images.
Make It a Weekend to Remember
Why limit your celebration to a single day? Mount Juliet invites couples to turn their wedding into a full destination experience. From teeing off on our championship golf course to exploring the estate on horseback or enjoying the thrill of falconry and archery, there’s no shortage of ways to create unforgettable memories.
We’re also perfectly placed for guests to explore Kilkenny’s city centre, visit the iconic Kilkenny Castle, or browse artisan wares at the Kilkenny Design Centre—all just a short drive away.
