LOOKING FOR FOR inspiration for something a little different to celebrate your big day?
Look no further…
The Lighthouse Cinema, Smithfield, Dublin
Far from a traditional wedding venue, this is a working cinema in Dublin 7, but with a quirky feel.
If are willing to be flexible around the screenings you can get married in one of the theatres, and have some refreshments on one of the cinema’s three floors. It might not be suitable for your whole reception, but it will make for a memorable ceremony.
Ed Sheeran’s cousin Laura got married here, as if you needed any other reason.
Cnoc Suain is a restored 17th century village near Spiddal and if the fancy takes you you can get married beside a standing stone dating back to 1000 BC.
This was a Church of Ireland place of worship, built in 1816. It’s now a tapas restaurant in Killorglin, Co Kerry which still looks like a church, but plays host to delicious meals and the odd wedding ceremony.
St Oliver Plunkett’s Church, Loughcrew House, Oldcastle, Co Meath
This (unconsecrated) church ruin could be just the thing for your ceremony with a difference.

Then there’s always Loughcrew House or Clonabreany House nearby to party the night away.
