Ballyvolane House

The Greene family’s gracious mansion is surrounded by its own farmland, magnificent wooded grounds, a trout lake and formal terraced gardens, all carefully managed and well maintained. The Italianate style of the present house - including a pillared hall with a baby grand piano and open fire -dates from the mid 19th century when modifications were made to the original house of 1728.

Justin Greene and his wife Jenny now run Ballyvolane; they are an extremely hospitable couple, committed to ensuring that the standards of hospitality, comfort and food for which this lovely house is renowned will be maintained - perfect hosts for wedding parties.

There is a choice of churches in the area and wedding blessings can be arranged at Ballyvolane, which has big log fires, beautifully proportioned rooms including a fine formal ding room, and luxurious bedrooms looking out over beautiful grounds - a perfect backdrop for wedding photographs.

There is no formal wedding planning (or wedding cake) service, but the Greenes can arrange anything the bride and bridegroom would like, including vintage car hire, helicopters, spa & beauty treatments and hair dressing - and there is a very flexible attitude to menu planning.

The bride and groom’s bedroom gets ‘a proper wedding night makeover’ with candles, flower petals, champagne, strawberries and chocolates, and breakfasts are served until noon every day, which is very popular with wedding guests - who also hugely appreciate the complimentary Bloody Mary cocktails handed out during breakfast.
