We recently celebrated our wedding reception at beautiful Ghan House in Carlingford and I can honestly say it was a perfect day from start to finish. Paul and all the staff were brilliant – so welcoming, helpful and friendly to us and all our guests. Paul and Sarah, thanks again for all your helpful advice on the run-up to the big day. We had a few last-minute changes and requests – everything was accommodated with no fuss. Ghan House is an excellent setting for a wedding for many reasons: the house itself is gorgeous, the rooms in both Ghan House and the garden are beautifully decorated, really comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely. The food was excellent and we were able to adapt the menu to suit our preferences – the Cooley Beef in particular was delicious. The location is perfect; despite being in bustling Carlingford the house and grounds are secluded, private and very peaceful, there’s plenty of photo opportunities in such a setting. The advantage of having exclusive use of the house and grounds for the big day meant that guests could choose to chill out in the wee bar, listen to music in the garden or just explore the lovely surroundings and relax! It honestly was the most chilled-out, amazing and enjoyable day!

“Paul, I’m not sure where to start in thanking you and your team.
From the first moment we came to see you and chat about our wedding we knew that you had the same vision for our wedding as we did, a relaxed atmosphere with a focus on amazing food and you did not disappoint!
Yourself and Orla made arranging our wedding from Manchester so easy, anything we asked for was never too much trouble and you offered sound advice throughout our wedding planning journey.
I was initially a bit concerned that the Ghan House was a bit disjointed for a wedding, how wrong was I?? If anything this is a massive advantage, we had our drinks reception with the kooky ukes in the garden, the traditional session in the downstairs room and the disco in the dance hall!! Everyone is raving about the venue and rightly so!! Thank you so much for making our wedding even better than we could have imagined.
Can you please pass on our regards to your amazing barman and chef also.”
Angie, Simeon (& baby Ethan)
