Civil Ceremonies

Civil Ceremonies

Say your vows in a 12th-century castle, just minutes from Dublin city centre. Clontarf Castle Hotel is fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, giving you a private, intimate setting for a ceremony that feels personal from the moment you arrive.

The Viking Suite and Great Hall are your dedicated ceremony spaces, with warm lighting, soft purple and silver tones, and a layout that works beautifully for both small and mid-sized gatherings. Our wedding team prepares everything in advance, from the aisle set-up to the seating plan, so you can focus on the moment rather than the details.

Civil ceremonies here are always exclusive to you and your guests, with a seamless flow into photos, drinks and your reception throughout the castle.
