"Live it up in a stately home What about a walk around the private lake or woods, admiring the parterre gardens and terraces, before retiring to one of the drawing rooms for afternoon tea in front of the open fire? At historic private country houses like Hilton Park in County Monaghan, you can sleep in a four-poster bed, bathe in a freestanding bath or explore the walled garden — before tasting the garden's produce in the dining room (lavender ice-cream anyone?). There's also lake swimming, boating, fishing and cycling (bikes are provided) and for the indoors types, there are books everywhere. Best of all, as the house has been in the Madden family for many generations, the owners will tell you lots of stories of the house and the area's fascinating history. See www.hiltonpark.ie and see www.hiddenireland.com for more historic private houses like this that you can stay in."
Ireland's biggest kept secret!
When our daughter first envisioned her dream wedding, the idea of a fairy-tale setting was at the top of her list. Little did we know that booking a stunning Manor in Ireland site unseen would exceed our wildest expectations.
We were hooked after our first contact with the venue and owners. This is a family owned estate that is gracious enough to share there history and 400+ acres with you. It is full of charm and history and we were lucky enough to have found it.
We had around 55 guests come from America and over 35 stayed on site while others stayed in airbnb's about 10 minutes away. The venue scheduled all of our shuttle needs for the day of the wedding. The Cottages and Guest houses are very comfortable with all of the modern amenities. We opted for the rehearsal dinner which was prepared by there own chef and it was incredible and met everyone else at the local pub for a Guiness and traditional folk music. I can not say enough good things about this venue and the warm welcome from all the people in Ireland. It is a short and beautiful drive from Dublin and Kimberly and Joanna will help you in every stage of planning.
If you are considering a smaller wedding in the states I would really consider opting for something like this. We got so much more bang for our buck and It was much more affordable in the long run and many of our guests made it into there great European Summer Vacation. Life time memories for all.
Also a quick side note: one of our guest got a flat tire leaving the wedding late, a local stopped by to see if they needed help. Long story short they contacted the tire shop owner who went opened his shop and took care of him after 11pm. That is basically Ireland in a nutshell. We can't wait to get back!

A true gem of a wedding venue in Ireland!
There’s so much to love about Hilton Park. The space and the grounds are phenomenal but the team behind the scenes are the real stars of the show. I love shooting weddings here and always look forward to getting back here!

Just the most beautiful venue! The staff could not have been more happy and helpful during our stay for a wedding. They've created a stunning space for events, with the most gorgeous grounds and interiors. The food and drink is also exceptional. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very good - there’s a spring-fed lake for wild swimming, breakfast in the stone floored old servant's hall, Michelin-worthy dinner in the wood paneled Dining room. Happy to recommend.

Brilliant wedding here last week! The staff were amazing looking after us all night and ensuring we stayed dry with the rain showers. Would recommend it to anyone considering it. Gorgeous view over the lake from the ceremony

We spent three days and two nights, in May of 2019, as guests of The Madden Family on their beautiful Estate and wished we had stayed longer. Their Famliy's Grand Manor House is an experience no one should miss. Guest accomodations and meals are as fine as any Five-star rated Hotel. The grounds provide the perfect escape from ones everyday routine. We selected Hilton Park as a central point to explore the surrounding countryside of Co. Monaghan and our own family roots. We look forward to returning to Ireland and Hilton Park.

10 years ago we thoroughly enjoyed several days to celebrate the wedding of our son and daughter-in-law! Everything was beautiful, delicious and magical! We have wonderful memories to last a lifetime!

Joanna, Kimberly and the staff at Hilton Park left no stone unturned in providing us a magical, three-day wedding experience and stay. Our party stayed in the historic and gorgeous house and the lovely cottage, and they provided the welcome, rehearsal dinner, breakfast and dinner, beautiful grounds and gardens, a lovely outside setting for the wedding, and a great venue for our party. They literally could not do enough for us. Absolutely perfect!
