Butler House & Garden

Welcome to Butler House, a unique venue for truly bespoke weddings... Here at Butler House you have a choice of three magnificent rooms, with plasterwork ceilings and large bow windows overlooking our Georgian Walled Garden and Kilkenny Castle. Our rooms are adorned with artwork from the prestigious Basil Goulding Collection and the house itself is steeped in history, as it is the former Dower House of Kilkenny Castle, and is located on the castle's original grounds. Butler House is ultimately a bespoke venue, we can tailor our weddings to suit you whether you have five guests or fifty, and we will tailor our packages to suit your needs. We have created truly unique weddings in the past including bare foot humanist ceremonies in the lawn, evening and weekend civil ceremonies for as little as four guests to a banquet for 60 guests and the house and garden are the perfect backdrop for your wedding photography. We also offer exclusive use of the entire property for 24 hours, including accommodation and a 'second day event' such as a BBQ in our beautiful Garden. Our sister property St. Mary's Medieval Mile Museum is an equally stunning venue steeped in history for a truly bespoke wedding. If you are looking for something really special, this could be the venue for you!
