National Maritime Museum of Ireland
Dún Laoghaire, Leinster, Ireland
About
Housed in a magnificently restored 19th-century Mariner's Church in the heart of Dún Laoghaire, the National Maritime Museum of Ireland is one of the most dramatic and distinctive wedding ceremony venues in the country. Coloured light streams through original stained glass as the soaring Victorian interior creates a breathtaking atmosphere for civil ceremonies. The centrepiece Bailey Optic lighthouse lens — a towering nautical artefact — makes for truly extraordinary wedding photographs. Approved for civil marriages by the HSE, the venue accommodates groups from intimate four-person elopements to larger gatherings of fifty. Couples who want a ceremony full of character, history, and coastal charm will find nowhere quite like this in Dublin.
