The Six Best Places for an Irish Wedding as anyone who just got married will attest to, all wedding ceremonies are a beautiful and magical occasion, whether in a little chapel in Las Vegas or on a beach in Maui. There is something special, however, about an Irish Celtic wedding. It could be the beautiful, soft Celtic light that silhouettes the bride, or the sound of a warm, crackling fire in an ancient castle, but it is definitely unique. Adare Manor, once the hunting retreat of an English gentleman, is breathtaking, and tops our poll. The Manor's staff, unpretentious yet thoughtful, are of the highest quality.
