Beautiful Spaces

We have so many beautiful spaces at The Johnstown Estate we can look after everything from an intimate dinner, to a wedding extravaganza.

You simply select where: a civil ceremony in either the Grand Ballroom or our authentic walled garden; a champagne or cocktail reception on the lawn or a festival-themed event in the gardens.

For your day, the Grand Ballroom and its private reception area and additional bars can be all yours.

And the food is, of course, paramount. Our culinary team take constant pride in delivering flavoursome, spectacularly presented food – whether you choose a bespoke wedding selection or one of our thoughtfully curated wedding menus.

Pre-Wedding

For absolute pre-wedding indulgence, The “I Do Crew” will adore our one-of-a-kind suite: The Mulberry. The space can sleep up to 8 when paired with adjoining rooms and offers bespoke make-up and hair stations, a luxurious seating area with bar, Nespresso machine, a 50” TV and a Bose Bluetooth speaker to set the ambience.

Weddings are the perfect excuse to celebrate – both before and after the big day – so let the celebrations begin!

Make The Moment Last

This will be your celebration of a lifetime, so why restrict it to just one day?

Our intimate manor reception rooms – The Burgundy, The Willow and The Rose – are perfect for personal pre-wedding dinners with smaller groups of family and friends. Larger post-wedding soirées may include cocktails and dinner in The Loft or The Sutherland Suite or a BBQ in the courtyard.

The Lady Margaret

This magnificent suite may be a cause of grave temptation. While you won’t want to miss a moment of your wedding, you may be tempted to momentarily steal away, through your private manor entrance to this secluded three-room suite.

The Lady Margaret spans the front of the manor’s first floor and includes a bathroom with a roll-top slipper tub, a walk-in shower, and double sinks.

The bedroom, in hues of taupe and blue, is a quiet haven to rest, undisturbed.

The separate living room, with double sofas and open fireplace, is the perfect place to relax and unwind after what will have been a busy but very happy day.

Testimonials

Hi Amelia,

Greetings from a sunny Tenerife where we have only just recovered from the most amazing weekend.

We honestly cannot thank yourself, Ashling and everyone at Johnstown Estate for making it the most amazing weekend – it was beyond anything we could ever have imagined! Everyone raved about the hotel, the setting, the food, and everything else in between. We would do the whole thing over this weekend if we had the choice.

Once again thank you so so much for everything – we are eternally grateful.

Kind regards
Deirdre and Jason

The Johnstown Estate was a spectacular setting for our stunning wedding day. The wedding planners and all staff onsite made us, our families and friends right at home for our weekend celebrations.

We just wanted to thank you and everyone at The Johnstown Estate for our wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch and I cannot rate all team members highly enough, everyone we encountered was pleasant, helpful and polite. All our guests have given us nothing but positive feedback on the whole experience, they were particularly impressed with the food, specifically the Ham croquette and the steak. Everyone was extremely complementary of The Forde Suites, and the grounds and how fabulous they were. Both The Mulberry and The Lady Margaret suite were fantastic additions to the whole wedding weekend experience for myself and Karl. We had an absolutely fantastic day and we can’t thank you all enough for all the hard work and effort made by all. Thank you all for helping make our day so special.

We got married at The Johnstown Estate in December. We could not recommend them enough from the very first visit we were greeted so warmly by Tamara who showed us around and gave us all the details of the wedding packages that were available. We knew as soon as we had finished the tour that there was no where else we would want to have our wedding reception. Our wedding coordinator was so helpful and kind throughout the whole planning process. The new Forde Suites is absolutely stunning our guests are still talking about it! The whole day went swimmingly thanks to the hard work and dedication of all of the staff at The Johnstown Estate. I wish we could do it all over again! Thank you for everything.

A massive thank you to the staff they honestly have been amazing. Didn’t matter which part of the hotel our guests were in, everyone was greeted with a friendly and professional manner and all our guests complimented the staff during their stay. The Johnstown Estate should be a 5 star, we’ve absolutely nothing to complain about.

Once again, thank you so much for everything. Please pass on our thank you to all members of staff also, they are all amazing.

Absolutely amazing service from we booked the venue until our wedding day. Our wedding coordinator was so thorough and helpful all along the way and answered all questions. The meal tasting was a gorgeous evening and really got us excited for our wedding. All of our guests still talk about the food and service. We can’t recommend The Johnstown Estate enough.

Laura O' Sullivan /

We had our wedding reception at The Johnstown Estate last weekend. We were so delighted with how everything went on the day. Everyone has commented on the high standard of the food and service at the wedding. We had 240 guests and the standard was incredibly high. From our first visit with Tamara to our last meeting with our coodinator, we always felt at ease with any questions we had. I would highly recommend The Johnstown Estate!

Allie & Anthony /

With all bias aside from being to other weddings in different venues I think there’s no argument that Johnstown is the most stunning, everything from start to finish was perfection, it was worth waiting for. Could we also mention a special thank you to the 3 gentleman working in Parterre on Friday evening, we were all looked after so well. Also a special mention to Jason, Aaron & Alana who looked after the top table on Saturday along with all the waiting & bar staff everyone was so friendly & attentive to us & our guests all evening. We already can’t wait for our next trip the the hotel.
