IT’S SO simple and sweet

Because this is real romance. In a wild wood, by a ruined chapel - outside of the ordinary and away from a busy world.

a leafy afternoon

We’re all about natural beauty and romance, here. Nothing artificial or over-blown, nothing stressy. Just an exquisite few hours gathering in wild nature. Think an organic, dappled ceremony in the woods with your closest friends and family, and the run of our wild estate for photographs afterwards. We share our woodland and ruined chapel - and you bring your people. Just look at the details below, then drop us a line.

the chapel

For up to 50 guests: wander along the riverbank to a secret ceremony at the Ruined Chapel, which we’ll have decked with wild foliage, flowers and lanterns. Under the cathedral cover of the trees, we’ll have laid out a few rough hewn benches and a living table of moss and flowers. We are licensed by the HSE so if you want to make it legal here you can, but that’s entirely up to you.

forest, fields and flowers

It’s so lovely here, you may not want to leave straight after. We give you the freedom of this natural reserve to soak up the beauty and curiosities, and come away with the most stunning photos. Wander through the woodland, stroll through the meadows full of wildflowers, paddle in the brook. As long as you leave no trace, we’re happy for you to take your time in this stunning natural environment.

epic Photography

Honestly, it’s a photographer’s dream here. We give you pretty-well free run around our rambling, re-wilding estate land: vintage ruins, the speckled light of the woodlands, rippled river and stone bridges, ancient trees, overgrown gardens and wild-flower meadows. Just bring your own expert and you’ll be sorted. To get the idea, have a look at our Real Elopements album.

embrace wild flower power

We love designing floral decor. Cut down on the carbon-miles of your floristry (store-bought flowers often have a huge footprint) , by letting us adorn your day with wild flowers and foliage foraged from our rich woodlands and meadows. Much cooler too! Ask about floral extras, which range from wild, seasonal bouquets to floral arches. Spectacular, sustainable and all of the profits go to our re-wilding project.

When to Elope?

Weekdays from June through July. Weekends by special arrangement. If you want to come , make it snappy :) as we’re closed from August through May. .

sustainability

We protect this land as a nature reserve and grow organically. We also pursue strict waste and Leave No Trace policies and are reducing our carbon use each year, in and out. Your support in this is invaluable.

Conservation

We’re very serious about Nature throughout the estate and conserving Ireland’s pollinators, birds and ecology. It’s not an after-thought, it’s why we’re here. Most of the elopement profits get ploughed back into our meadow projects. So thank you!

Prices

Surprisingly little.
