Ballymagarvey Village is a beautiful private estate in the historic Boyne Valley. Our wooded grounds and adjoining Victorian walled garden are surrounded by far-reaching views of the rich farmland and native forests of County Meath. Our warm, homely 18th century Manor House is set around an open Courtyard. We have lovingly restored the former flax mill village to an exceptionally high standard, transforming the historic outbuildings into charming spaces for both intimate and large wedding celebrations. Drawing inspiration from the best of local and seasonal produce, our Chefs have designed exceptional banquet menus. Offering innovative modern European cuisine, our dining experience combines gourmet food with unparalleled service. Ballymagarvey Village is conveniently located only 30 minutes from Dublin and 90 minutes from Belfast.
A Brief History Ballymagarvey is steeped in history, dating back to 1780 when the fortified Manor House was built for Reverend Thomas Osbourne. In 1854, the enterprising Aylmer family took over the lands and developed a corn and flax mill village. The mill flourished under Matthew Aylmer whose vision to bring his mill workers together created a closeknit, thriving community at Ballymagarvey. For over 200 years, Ballymagarvey Village has been touched by unique human endeavour. Our promise is to continue a tradition of excellence and bring people together in a celebration of Aylmer’s ‘revolution of the heart’.
The Village Today, guests can still see the mill race, water wheel and the beautifully restored granary buildings around the Courtyard. There are seven Courtyard Cottages to accommodate guests in addition to nine bedrooms in the Manor House. The Mill Loft is now our Civil Ceremony Room and the millers’ cottages our splendid Banquet Hall. With original exposed beams and cut-stone walls, all our rooms exude character, retaining an old-world Victorian charm.

Frequently Asked Questions How many people can Ballymagarvey accommodate overnight? We have nine bedrooms in the Manor House, eight double rooms and one twin, accommodating a total of 18 people (including the couple). We have seven cottages in total. Two x 3 bed cottages and five x 2 bed cottages. Fully utilised, the cottages can accommodate 32 people. In addition, six of the cottages have double fold out beds in the general living accommodation area. _______________________________________________ Do I have to fill all of the rooms? Yes. For each package, the requirement is that the client will ensure full occupancy of the village accommodation. There may be an occasion when a double room will only be occupied by a single person. In this case, a single supplement will apply. _______________________________________________ Is it difficult to fill the accommodation? Our experience is that this is not difficult for the couple. Many guests want the convenience of staying on location, and the general attraction of the facility makes it an easy proposition. _______________________________________________ Is breakfast included in the overnight rate for the cottages? Yes, breakfast is included for all guests staying in the cottages. Breakfast is served in the Manor House in the conservatory. _______________________________________________ May I bring in my own wine? Yes, in cases where couples supply their own wine, a corkage fee of €12.50 per bottle applies. It is worth noting that Ballymagarvey’s management has chosen a broad selection of wines reflecting various clients’ needs. If you have any specific requirements, please talk to us directly. _______________________________________________ If I bring my own wine, how much will you take off the package price? For those packages with wine included, we will reduce the package price by €6 per head when you bring in your own wine. _______________________________________________ Does corkage apply to Prosecco and Champagne? Yes it does. The corkage price is the same at €12.50 per bottle. _______________________________________________ May we serve our own wine after the banquet all through the night? No, you can bring your own wine for serving at the banquet. Serving of your own wine must end after the meal. _______________________________________________ What is the minimum number of guests? Each package has a minimum number of guests applicable depending on the day of the week. The relevant numbers are outlined for each package in the brochure. The smallest wedding that we accommodate is the ‘Timeless Elegance’ package for 60 people.

Can I stay in the venue the night before, or the day after? What are my options? We have a special package available to our clients. A single fee of €4999 includes venue hire, full accommodation and a buffet/BBQ for 50 people and an acoustic session or piano bar to entertain your guests. This package is available Sunday to Wednesday only when the venue is not already booked for another event. Alternatively you can also choose our Wedding Hideaway package and stay at Ballymagarvey Village the night before and after your wedding. _______________________________________________ How long do you spend in the Manor House for the drinks reception? The majority of weddings spend between two to two and a half hours in the main house for the drinks reception. _______________________________________________ What time are guests called to the main banquet? Guests are usually called to the Banquet Hall at approximately 5.30pm with a view to announcing the entrance of the Couple at 6pm. _______________________________________________ Do you have any additional services other than those outlined in the brochure? We have a number of other upgrade items and additional services that can be discussed with your wedding planner. Our wish is that you can decide what you want to add to your chosen package to customise your own wedding to your own taste. _______________________________________________ May I have a choice on my menu? Depending on the package that you select, you may already have a choice in the main course. In the event that you want to offer a choice to your guests for your starter or dessert courses, then this can be arranged for an additional fee. Additionally, you can add a course to your menu (e.g. sorbet). _______________________________________________ Can I upgrade elements of the menu? For example, can I upgrade the beef option to fillet steak? Yes. A supplementary fee will apply, but it can be easily arranged. _______________________________________________ Can I take elements from other packages and add them to an existing package? Generally speaking we will do our best to accommodate your specific requirements. The first step will be for us to understand your requirements by arranging a meeting with your Ballymagarvey wedding planner, and from that we can guide you on what can be done. For example, clients have chosen the Village Symphony package and have added canapés to their reception. This can be easily arranged with your wedding planner.
Frequently Asked Questions When I place a provisional booking, how long do I have before I’m expected to confirm the booking with a deposit?

The first step is to talk to the registrar of civil marriages for the district in which you intend to marry. They will let you know how to proceed. Each couple must apply directly to the Civil Registration Office themselves. Unfortunately we cannot do this on your behalf. In County Meath the contact details for the Civil Registration office are as follows: The Civil Registration Office, The Enterprise Centre, Trim Road, Navan, Co. Meath. Phone: 046 9097833/4/5. The opening hours are Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 10am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 4pm. Contact details for other counties are easily accessible on the internet, but if your are having difficulty, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
What does Ballymagarvey Village need to do in order for a couple to have a civil ceremony wedding? Ballymagarvey Village must complete a declaration form for each individual application, and also ensure that the venue meets the standards set out by the Health Service Executive, Civil Registration Office. Once you have applied to the Civil Registration Office they will provide you with a personalised form for us to complete. _______________________________________________ What is the maximum number of people we can have at our civil ceremony? The Mill Loft Ceremony Room can accommodate 160 people. Alternatively, we are also registered to hold a civil ceremony in the main Banquet Hall, where we can accommodate larger numbers if required. _______________________________________________ How long does the civil ceremony last? This really depends on your requirements. The actual ‘formal’ piece of the ceremony is quite short (region of 10 to 15 minutes), but we find that many of our couples choose to include other personal elements including musical interludes. _______________________________________________ Where will we have our Civil Ceremony within the village complex? The Old Mill Loft has been lovingly restored to become our Mill Loft Ceremony Room. _______________________________________________ How much does it cost to hire the Mill Loft Ceremony Room?
