A Magical Setting for a Magical Day

Say "I do" against a backdrop steeped in history at Ardcroney Church, a beautiful venue nestled within Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, available for exclusive hire for your ceremony. Once vows are exchanged, the sprawling grounds of the Folk Park offer a stunning setting for your wedding photography, from charming thatched cottages to lush gardens.

Whether you're dreaming of an intimate ceremony or a fairytale backdrop for unforgettable memories, Bunratty offers a truly unique setting for one of the most important days of your life.

A Truly Charming Venue

Steeped in history and quiet charm, Ardcroney Church was built in 1824 and orginally stood in the townsland of Congor in North Tipperary.

In 1995, this beautiful structure was donated and carefully rebuilt stone by stone within the grounds of Bunratty Folk Park, where it continues to welcome couples and families to this day. With its timeless character, soaring gothic windows and peaceful setting, Ardcroney Church offers a truly enchanting backdrop for wedding ceremonies, blessings, vow renewals and naming ceremonies.

Accommodating up to 60 guests, the church is yours to make your own, decorate and theme the space to reflect your personal style and love story, creating a day that feels entirely and beautifully you.
