SAYING ‘I do’ is about so much more than ever it was. It is expected that every element of the occasion reflects the joy of the new couple and their tastes. For those looking to the increasingly popular Destination Wedding market, there is no finer setting than the Wild Atlantic Way. Being so accessible from Scotland has the added bonus of making it easier for family and friends to travel than some more far-flung destinations. Unlike exotic locations they couple can take a trip over to Donegal to plan the wedding in person.
Nestled in the elemental beauty of West Donegal, An Chuirt is a fine match for the romance of the occasion. With Errigal as a majestic backdrop and a vista over the River Clady, it is an ideal choice of hotel for a wedding celebration. Dunlewey’s Sacred Heart Church makes it a match made in Heaven.
An Chuirt is a premier four-star hotel with a wedding coordination team that brings many years of experience. They understand all the possible concerns and considerations and take pride in ensuring they take the stress away from the couple and confidently deliver on all the arrangements.
“From the very first enquiry, we’ll be by your side to guide you through the planning process, offering advice, answering questions, and helping you bring your unique vision to life. Whether it’s finalising seating plans, coordinating suppliers, managing timelines, we’ll be working behind the scenes, so you don’t have to worry about a thing,” a hotel spokesperson said. “Every couple is different and we pride ourselves on tailoring each experience to reflect your style, values, and story. Your wedding day should be a joyful, memorable celebration—and we’re here to make sure it’s everything you dreamed of and more.”
As well as the hotel’s own manicured gardens and beautiful courtyard the natural beauty of the area, with its glorious summer views and snow-capped mountain aspect in winter.
There is no shortage of stunning spots to tie the knot. Riverside or on the shore, Donegal has it all. For ceremonies taking place at the hotel there is the option of outdoor or indoor. The grand ballroom has views of Errigal. With three main packages—Deluxe, Premium and Platinum—there is plenty to choose from and they can be tailored and adapted.
The wedding menus are a labour of love for An Chuirt’s team who relish working with their couples to select from a range of gourmet options to suit different styles and preferences so the final choice is both personal and reflective of the occasion.
The team has seen a trend for smaller, more personal celebrations which often allow for extras such as bespoke décor, which the team are happy to assist and advise in any way.
When the celebrations are over for the night, the happy couple and their guest can retire to accommodation as delightful as the day itself. Luxury suites, twin room and family rooms are all on offer.
