Dating back to the 1600s, the Dunadry Hotel and Gardens’ iconic building has had a colourful past as a paper and linen mill before taking on life as a hotel. Conveniently located in the heart of Northern Ireland, this iconic four-star venue is only a ten-minute drive from Belfast International Airport. In line with embracing the history of Dunadry’s past, weddings have become such a huge part of its present. Since 2004 the hotel has been getting couples to sign corks from champagne bottles on the day of their wedding and are housed in cabinets around the hotel. This has become an iconic asset to the hotel that couples return to see many years after their wedding – they really do become part of the family. With a choice of beautiful locations, both indoor and outdoor, to suit your style of celebration, the Dunadry has just the right location for your special day. There is the stunningly tranquil Secret Garden with its outdoor elegance, or perhaps the wooden[1]panelled River Room poised on the Six Mile Water, with its glorious outdoor views. There is also the Gallery, a quirky alternative ceremony entrance – a stunning staircase as the aisle, creating drama and anticipation in the moments leading up to a fairytale ceremony. Whether a large celebration or an intimate gathering, the Dunadry has the perfect room to host your reception. The Grand Ballroom, the River Room or the Beetling – whatever your dream in terms of intimacy, grandeur, rustic ormodern, indoors or out – there is an option for you. With plenty of room for guests to stay over, the hotel has 72 bedrooms on site so that guests can stay on to enjoy the celebrations. Both indoors and outdoors offers some of the most beautiful areas for your wedding photographs, including the Tree of Unity, the River Walk, the Dundadry’s iconic fireplace and stunning Gallery staircase. Head Chef Greg Ferguson leads a talented team who have created some wonderful wedding menus. The choice selections can be adapted to ensure your delicious favourites are included in your special celebration. The Dunadry will work to suit your wedding day desires, from reception to dinner and dancing, and each element can be adapted to work exactly how you want to make your wedding the most magical and memorable day.
