Rustic Donegal Wedding Venue

Your day, Your Way

Summer wedding at our dry-hire venue in Ireland

Corcreggan Mill is a unique dry-hire wedding venue on the north-west coast of Donegal, offering couples exclusive weekend hire, on-site accommodation for up to 75 guests, and complete freedom to design their celebration.

There are no packages or fixed formats. Instead, couples have a blank canvas to make their own.

Over the years, we’ve seen celebrations of every kind here: relaxed outdoor gatherings, intimate ceremonies, weekend-long parties, elegant dinners and the occasional céilí that happily ran into the night.

Each one has reflected the uniqueness of the couple at the heart of it.

Our historic buildings and peaceful outdoor spaces are a beautiful backdrop for humanist or spiritual ceremonies, drinks in the garden, dinners under the sky or lawn games that get delightfully competitive.

If you want a celebration that feels personal and a place that lets you make it your own, we’d love to hear from you. Just email our team with the details and we can send you more information on rates, availability and suppliers.

Guest Accommodation

We can accommodate up to 75 guests on-site. You can explore our rooms and spaces HERE. There’s also a wide range of nearby accommodation for anyone staying off-site.

Corcreggan Mill was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding reception. We wanted a space where we could feed and sleep all our guests for a full weekend celebration, and the Mill delivered completely. The grounds were perfect for curious young guests, and the warm, relaxed vibe won everyone over. If you enjoy a roaring turf fire, you’ll love their living room. Nothing was a bother, and their experience and local knowledge were invaluable. We had high hopes for the weekend, all of which were surpassed. Bhí deireadh seachtaine den scoth againn i gCorcreggan
