Hosting a big wedding in Donegal
For a large wedding in Donegal, the bigger hotels around Letterkenny and the coast offer ballrooms and accommodation for a hundred and eighty or more. It is a long road north, so on-site rooms and a weekend plan make gathering a big crowd far easier.
Set against wild Atlantic beaches, mountains and some of Ireland's most remote coastline, Donegal is reached via the N15 and Letterkenny, with City of Derry and Donegal airports nearby.
