Planning a small & intimate wedding?

Here’s what that looks like at Balinakill ⬇️

A house full of character, Victorian charm, and total privacy for you and your people.

Ceremonies in the garden, the conservatory, or the gorgeous white room.

A grand dining room to layout your buffet or gather for a formal dinner.

Drinks flowing from the bar and the conservatory cleared for the dance floor.

Beautiful photo spots everywhere you turn - from the staircase to the beach down the road.

And best of all? It’s all yours for the whole weekend. No strangers, no stress, just space to soak it in and celebrate the way you want to.
