Caulfields Bar in Waterford

10/10/2025: The dream wedding venue that we could have only wished for. This was unlike any venue we’d seen before (and we’ve been to a lot!). The pictures speak for themselves, but what deserves a callout is the amazing hospitality and welcome faces that greeted every one of our guests throughout the stay. The privacy and closeness afforded by the island, the lodges and the clubhouse were unrivalled. It truly felt like we had our own space to celebrate with the people who mattered most to us. Gillian, the castle’s wedding coordinator, made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. Her expertise were evident from day 1 as she made sure every base was covered, putting us at complete ease so all we had to do was focus on ourselves on the day. Antonio who managed the service was also fantastic and willing to help at every opportunity (extending even outside of his remit). We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. A surefire consideration for couples looking to add something completely unique and inherently Irish to their special day. Not a bad word to say. I wish we could do it all again! Aaron & Antonia

08/10/2025: There is no question that the location of this hotel is second to none. Stunning surroundings and the castle itself looks like something from a movie when you pull up. The food is amazing, one of the best meals we had on our trip. The service was also very good. My issue is that the hotel is very rundown and old. Items broken, worn out, threadbare carpeting everywhere, broken elevator, no HVAC so a constant damp feeling and odor. It needs a complete overhaul inside. That said, it is a magical place location and with some renovation will be hard to beat.
