Markree Castle Named Ireland's Wedding Venue of the Year 2009

I was thrilled to hear the news yesterday that one of our premier venues here on WeddingDates.ie, Markree Castle just topped a poll for Ireland’s Wedding Venue of the Year!  Well done to Patricia and all of the team in Markree who put a huge amount into each and every wedding they host there.

Thousands of brides, grooms and wedding guests voted in the competition sponsored by one of Ireland’s leading wedding websites, www.realweddings.ie .  Of six venues from all over the country nominated for the award, Markree Castle, Sligo was the run-away winner with 1/3 of the total vote.

And from the gang in Markree themselves….

The team at Markree Castle were honoured to be nominated in the first instance and, as one of the smallest venues in the running, are absolutely delighted to have done so well.  We would all like to thank everyone who voted for us-  this is the best Christmas present possible for all of the crew at Markree who have worked so hard over the years to earn and sustain Markree’s position as one of Ireland’s leading wedding venues.  Markree Castle is a truly unique location for your special day and our dedicated and professional staff, team of top class chefs and one-of-a-kind atmosphere are paid tribute to with this incredible result!

To celebrate our win, we are offering complimentary wine for all wedding guests to couples booking their wedding on selected dates in 2010.  Included is a half bottle of wine per guestfor your wedding meal- for a wedding of 100 people, this is 50 free bottles of wine!  For more information and conditions, and to check availability, please contact us on 071-9167800, check out our website www.markreecastle.ie or e-mail info@markreecastle.ie.
