Special Places for Weddings and Corporate Occasions




County Fermanagh hosts three spectacular National Trust venues available for private and corporate functions. Castle Coole, on the outskirts of Enniskillen with its Regency interior decoration, furniture and furnishings, Florence Court, a fine 18th Century property enjoying a spectacular setting amongst the mountains and forests of West Fermanagh, and Crom, one of Ireland’s most important nature conservation areas on the shores of Upper Lough Erne.

The National Trust is an independent charity, and by choosing Castle Coole, Crom or Florence Court for your special day you will be helping to contribute to the conservation work of the National Trust in caring for Northern Ireland’s wonderful heritage. Not only will you and your guests have a memorable day, but the National Trust venue of your choice will continue to be cared for so that future generations can enjoy it for years to come.

We hope you are as excited and inspired by these beautiful places as we are. Our aim is for everyone to have an unforgettable day when they visit and we will do everything possible to make your occasion memorable and special.



Castle Coole is one of the finest neo-classical houses in Ireland and is surrounded by a stunning landscape park on the edge of Enniskillen.

The Regency and neo-classical interiors give a sense of grandeur and magnificence for wedding ceremonies, corporate functions and formal dining. The Breakfast room with welcoming log fires offers an ideal room for hosting a drinks reception for your guests, and the celebrations can be continued on our front lawn which is available for hire as a site for you to have a marquee reception. Special moments can be captured in this unique and picturesque backdrop; the wonderful surroundings are perfect for countless photo opportunities. Castle Coole will make your function a memorable occasion, creating a relaxed ambience in a grand and impressive style, whatever the occasion.

Florence CourtThis fine mid 18th century House is a truly welcoming home with a warm atmosphere. Built in a lively classical style and embellished with superb rococo plasterwork, Florence Court is undoubtedly a hidden gem when it comes to the perfect corporate or wedding venue.

The Hall with its grand open-well staircase offers a superb venue for a wedding ceremony. The decoration of the hall is classical in style, reflecting the outside façade.

DowlersEveryone wants to be able to give a wedding gift that is useful and provides a lasting memory from the guest who chose it. Your wedding gift list is your opportunity to tell your guests the type of gifts you would like to receive. It is the opportunity to furnish or decorate your home with items that you dreamed of having (a toaster that doesn’t catapult the toast across the room or a kettle that doesn’t leak).

It is also an opportunity to give your guests a guide to what you would like, but for them to have a little wedding gift creativity. I think the best gifts are the ones that are things you would not usually spend money on yourself and when someone else has treated you, it is all the more enjoyable!
