At the very minimum you need witnesses (I think two) to the marriage so it cannot be just the two of you. If you have witnesses you can get married wherever you want.

I would presume that if it is just the two of you (plus witnesses), you could approach a place you like and ask them if you can rent a room for the hour/half hour? then book a meal with them too. In this day and age, hotel's will want all the money they can get, I can't see them turning away a paying customer. It would be easier with just the two of you then having a wedding with say 10-15 people who would need to take up alot more room.

Would a registery office not make more sense then a hotel if there's only two of you? I think they will allow two people in the office to act as your witnesses, but you'll have to check!

We were thinking getting married in the hotel have a meal there and stay for a week as our honeymoon as well, I understand what you're saying but that was kinda the idea we had planned 😊

Is there any hotel you particularly like? Have any hotels said no to the idea?
I don't think this is a service you'll find advertised but I'm sure there are hotels that will accommodate you (for Sunday -Thursday anyway!).

I'm waiting on a reply from a few but two said no already so fingers crossed 🀞

You should look at The lodge at Ashford Castle. Significantly cheaper than Ashford, but a lovely hotel in its own right, and shares a lot of the amenities. I think they do civil ceremonies there, and i don't see why they wouldn't let you have a wedding there, particularly if you were willing to have it on a midweek day. Lovely place to chill out and enjoy the lakes and countryside for a few days or a week. Some great rooms and an absolutely showstopping restaurant

I'd recommend Danny Minnies Restaurant in Donegal..I know they accommodate small weddings (though 2 people is really small). It's a lovely intimate restaurant & they also have a couple of guest rooms..couldn't hurt to give them a call. Don't have their number but you should be able to find them at www.gaothdobhair.ie

I don't understand why a hotel won't let you reserve a table in its restaurant/bar?
Surely the minimum figures relate to function room use?

What are of Ireland are you looking for? And like that are you looking at getting married in the venue or place or are you looking at getting married in the registry office.?

And lot of places have a 1 wedding a day policy so if they have a wedding already then they won't let you use the restaurant

Try Brooklodge in Wicklow. They have a small church on site that may not be being used on the day. Ideal location to spend a few days and you wouldn't be using up the main function room for your wedding service.

Gregans Castle, Roundwood House or some of the hidden Ireland venues should work for you.  They wouldn't normally have a wedding as they are too small so they should be delighted to assist you.

We got married in Roundwood House and it was amazing! We had 14 people total, but I remember them telling me that they'd had a 2 person wedding a couple of weeks before ours. They could not have been nicer to work with in arranging everything for us, so if it's the kind of space you're looking for I'd totally drop Hannah an email.
