If you’ve been following my blog posts about venues around Ireland, you’ll probably have come to the conclusion that I’m a bit of a romantic. As a wedding photographer, I often find myself viewing new venues with a mental camera lens focused in on every detail, and I must tell you, I’m always looking for facets at a venue that will tell a truly unique wedding story.
Well, I recently had the privilege of visiting Coolbawn Quay, and my inner photographer did an almost constant jig as I walked around this quaint wedding venue. I’ve put together 5 reasons Coolbawn Quay could be the perfect setting for the most romantic wedding, and I’ve saved the very best one for last, so be sure to read #5!

Reason #1: Coolbawn Quay is the essence of “Quaint Irish Village”
Let’s start with a little more about Coolbawn Quay. Set along a beautiful lake and surrounded by pristine Irish countryside, which includes rolling farmland and beautiful natural forests, Coolbawn Quay is as pretty as a picture. Because nature is such an integral part of this venue, the seasons are visible in vivid colour. The intense seasonality of Coolbawn Quay lends a certain charm to your wedding photographs that become an integral part of your wedding story.
Apart from the natural splendour of the venue, the buildings in Coolbawn Quay, some of them historic, make it feel like you’ve stepped back in time to a place where romance and the importance of family were at the heart of everything people did.

From my perspective, the wedding photography opportunities at any one of these ceremony and drinks venues are absolutely delightful and can be tailored to your unique wedding vision.
Reason #3: Coolbawn Quay has Lavish Reception Options
Coolbawn Quay offers a few lavish wedding reception venues, one catering for up to 220 guests and the others for more intimate wedding parties. What struck me most about the Coolbawn Quay reception venues is the luxurious textures and finishes in a grand Georgian style that oozes romance. If you’re looking for a wedding venue where your guests will feel like they’ve been transported back to a grander, more romantic time, then Coolbawn Quay must be on your list.
As an aside, the food and presentation of the food is exquisitely detailed but still accessible to almost every pallet.

So, I’ve mentioned it several times in this article already, but the wedding photography options at Coolbawn Quay bear mentioning again.
Wedding photography is all about the details. From the bride’s outfit, to special moments between friends, family and the happy couple, lighting, background and the setting in which these moments are captured all go to telling your unique wedding story.
We can effortlessly craft these beautiful moments at almost any point in the day because there are just so many picturesque spaces at every turn. This means that the variety of wedding moments I capture aren’t limited by the need to find the right backdrop and instead can unfurl naturally.

I’ve saved the very best part about Coolbawn Quay until the end. Because Coolbawn Quay is so tiny, you can, should you choose, book out the entire venue for your wedding!
Imagine having guests staying in every little building. Imagine everyone joining the groom as he walks to the ceremony by simply opening the door to their cottage and walking with him through the village streets. Imagine the before and after parties that you could have.
