This Kildare venue is one of the best in the country

Not only does the festive period add an extra bit of magic to your big day but it also means you'll have fewer diary clashes.

According to the experts at SaveMyDay.ie, winter weddings have been growing in popularity in Ireland.

And there's one venue at the top of Irish brides' lists.

The Abbey Wedding & Events Venue, Athy, Kildare has been named as Ireland's best exclusive wedding venue by SaveMyDay.ie.

Co-owner Shell Holden explained why winter weddings are becoming a bigger trend in Ireland.

"Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular amongst couples planning their big day for several reasons including better pricing, better guest availability, and the added plus of festive decor.

"Many venues and wedding vendors offer reduced pricing compared to summer months, allowing brides and grooms the opportunity to secure catering, photography, and other services that may be originally out of budget."

"With the inviting glow of candlelight, fairy lights, crackling fires, and the chance of a light snow, winter weddings create a fairytale experience."

But what makes The Abbey Wedding & Events Venue in Athy so special?

The venue has an on-site 18th-century chapel for ceremonies and a flexible capacity for 40 to 200 guests.

It also has a one-wedding-per-day policy, with exclusive use of the venue.

The beautiful period building has a stunning ballroom and two opulent wedding suites inspired by the finest decor from around the world.

There's no doubt it is one of the finest venues for a winter wedding. It has soared to the top of our dream wedding venue list.
