“Nestled among the beautiful scenery of Carlingford Lough, the Cooley and Mourne Mountains, and only a stone’s throw from the rambling streets of the beautiful mediaeval village of Carlingford, King John’s Castle and the Old Abbey, the Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford boasts a stunning location of ‘where the mountains meet the sea’ to host both wedding ceremony and reception.
“Licensed to hold civil ceremonies, humanist ceremonies, spiritual ceremonies and civil partnerships, the Four Seasons and its award winning wedding team are honoured to host ceremonies of any scale so that couples can exchange vows in a celebration tailored to their own love story.
“Celebrate on a grand scale in their opulent Summer Suite or their beautiful, landscaped gardens and garden gazebo offers the perfect setting for a romantic outdoor wedding ceremony during warmer months.”
With over 600 couples surveyed in the SaveMyDay.ie Irish Wedding Trends Survey, the results revealed that 47% of couples choose to say I do during summer months.
