A wedding reception, scrap that - call it a party, at
Temple House Sligo is unusual and deliberately different. It is not a hotel but a wonderful country house overlooking the Knights Templar castle - it all adds to a very special experience.
We encourage all our wedding parties to gather in the vestibule for champagne and canapes. It is a spectacular space and holds a huge number of wedding guests who are usually looking up at the wonders of the ceiling before moving through to the morning room and drawing room. One would also hope that the sun will shine on your day so that you can enjoy the garden and its lake side views too.
We have the following 3 wedding reception options for you to consider. Let's try to keep it simple!
-
A sit down for up to 90 wedding guests either in the dining room or in the drawing room. More guests can join the after party for dancing too if you wish.
-
A sit down for more than 90 wedding guests in a marquee on the croquet lawn overlooking the Knights Templar castle and the lake beyond is for you. Numbers are not limited at all - 250 would be fine. The marquee reception should have an open or clear side so that the castle, parkland and lake become part of your space.
-
Enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the Big House throughout the day with numbers up to about 160+ wedding guests with a buffet. (There is no lower limit on this by the way.) You don't have the added expense of a marquee and associated costs either.
Don't hesitate to call us to discuss your options.
"Just to say thanks again for facilitating a great wedding day (and night!). We’ve had terrific feedback from people, who seem to have had a really good time, which was what we were aiming for. That was in part, at least, due to your good management and relaxed attitude. People have been extremely complementary about your house, some of which one hopes, might turn into more parties for you in the future!" S & J. May 2010
