Horetown House is a family owned and sustainably run country house with onsite Ceremony room, accommodation and an old fashioned Irish pub, all situated in the beautiful Wexford countryside.
Built in 1692, the historic Horetown House is ideal for couples looking for something a little bit different. Your wedding is an opportunity for you and your guests to get away from it all and enjoy a 'home from home' atmosphere in the grand surroundings of this charming country house in the wilds of Wexford.
Move in the night before and get ready on site, or arrive to Horetown House on the day of your wedding. To make your guests feel at home, the Horetown House team will greet them with prosecco and freshly prepared canapés and guide them to a cosy spot in the Drawing rooms or Tea room.
The White Room is the perfect ceremony backdrop for your ceremony and can be easily decorated to reflect your style, or if the weather behaves there are also beautiful outdoor options. As Horetown House is a family run wedding venue, they look after every wedding personally and have a strict limit on the number of weddings they host each year to insure you get full attention and support.
Horetown House have grown their own flowers and herbs organically for years, and now they have installed their first Polytunnel and will have their own vegetables served at their weddings this year. Working closely with lots of local suppliers to bring you fresh seasonal menus for your wedding day, Horetown House strives to deliver a luxury experience whilst reducing the impact on the world around us. They are working hard on reducing single use items in the house and gardens and finding new ways to make magical memories while restoring biodiversity and beautiful natural ecosystems.
With a team of friendly staff, Horetown House have been hosting weddings for 20 to 200 guests all year round and on any day of the week since 2009. Your guests will enjoy private use of the house where they can sleep up to 26 people in the luxurious bedrooms and 40 more in the village of Shepherds Huts. For another 100+ guests staying in the numerous local accommodation, the Horetown House shuttle bus service will see them all safely home.

Testimonials
'Over the two years, Kate and Niamh were nothing short of amazing and always at the other end of an email. As time grow close to our date, Niamh was fantastic with random little calls to check in or arrange the finer details. We booked Horetown as we loved the vibe and feel of the place from the minute we viewed it. We wanted a wedding venue that would be relaxed with an easy flowing day for us and our guests. From check in Friday to check out on Monday, we couldn’t fault Horetown. Every staff member we met couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. Niamh and Linda were never too far away, the day ran so smoothly because of them and helped calm the nerves with reassuring words or to make sure you had a glass of Prosecco.'

'The venue is absolutely stunning and your staff are just so sound and attentive - a credit to you, Niamh. Linda you were on the ball over the few days, everything went so smoothly - you are great at what you do and we appreciate everything you did for us. I really hope I get back to Horetown House as a guest someday to relive it all. Tom and Joe downstairs are real gents, a huge thank you to them for putting up with us too. Every part of the food was exceptional - our guests can't stop saying how good the food was!'

'What can we say. What a day, what a venue, what a crew and what gorgeous weather we had! Wow! We can't even put in to words how thankful we are to you all for what was the best day of our lives! Everything from start to finish was incredible Niamh & Linda, and you were an absolute dream to work with from day one! Every single person that attended the wedding was blown away by the venue, they could not believe how beautiful it was and my god, was it! It took our breath away seeing it for the first time all ready for our wedding day! The staff were amazing with the food and service we honestly couldn’t fault a thing! And everyone is the same! Thank you all so, so much!'

'Your wedding day is all about the people you spend it with. But it certainly doesn't hurt if it's in a beautiful place run by great people. And Horetown House is just that. The house is tastefully decorated, full of old world charm and with stunning views of the beautiful Wexford countryside, full of grandeur and yet somehow still manages to feel like a home away from home. Niamh and the rest of the staff were a pleasure to deal with throughout the planning process and on the day itself. We had to postpone three times and at no stage was there any issues or pressure on us to push on or compromise in any way, we were given one date after another until restrictions were lifted and we were able to go ahead exactly how we had imagined that the day would be. The wedding day ran like clockwork. We were able to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Niamh also had some great suggestions like making sure we had an hour to ourselves before the ceremony with prosecco brought to the room where we could watch our guests arrive from the window. And I haven't even mentioned the food. Their Jacobs ladder is perhaps the most tender and juiciest piece of beef either of us have ever tasted. In fact every morsel of food that we've eaten at Horetown, from the tasting evening to the yoghurt and granola at breakfast, has been delicious. All in all, we couldn't be happier that we picked Horetown House for our wedding and can't recommend it enough.'
