Temple House Estate Full Description
A MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY HOUSE WEDDING VENUE. Set amidst a 1,000 acre private estate overlooking the lakeside castle of the Knights Templar in Co Sligo. We pride ourselves on the flexibility of our approach making this country house such a special venue! A family home since 1665 makes the atmosphere here so peaceful and special for weddings. Temple House boasts rooms of enormous proportions and grandeur and yet there is a real sense of intimacy here too. The terraced gardens are spectacular, the whole setting breath-taking. We can welcome small intimate gatherings or larger parties. Wedding Capacity: 6-120 together or 160 seated in two rooms after speeches have been delivered in the garden or vestibule.

Perfect for an intimate wedding or party
Temple House is absolutely beautiful, from the moment you step in, you feel as though you've entered another world of luxury and history. We struggled to find a venue that would cater to our small numbers and wanted somewhere with a soul and a warm atmosphere which Temple House certainly provides. Once we'd visited, we knew we weren't going to find a more special place - we didn't look at anywhere else. A bereavement meant our wedding planning was postponed but Roderick was most helpful and accommodating with just six months' notice. The rooms were fantastic, the half acre is absolutely stunning as was all the accommodation. Roderick was most helpful with managing last minute guest accommodation also. There are numerous beautiful locations for photos and videos and perfect backdrops indoors and outdoors - no decorations even needed. Our photos came out beautifully and were really enhanced by the setting. A special note for the food, we were bowled over by the quality and range offered, all of our guests remarked on how much they enjoyed it. Guests with dietary needs were well looked after and all the staff were so attentive and kind. If you're looking for a venue for an intimate party or wedding or special occasion, Temple House is a fantastic choice. We hope to visit one day in the future and relive our happy memories.

magical
It was incredible. Roderick and Helena were excellent throughout. They were responsive and supportive with all arrangements prior to the day. We found them to be very welcoming and we appreciated their laid-back approach. All staff were so friendly and smiley, they were a pleasure to have around. The house itself is magnificent and a great place to stay. We had it for the whole weekend. We also took advantage of the cottage along a private road not far from the house. It was a great place for the groom and groomsmen to stay prior to the wedding day. We would recommend the intimate meal with your nearest and dearest the night before the wedding also. The venue speaks for itself but there is the option to decorate it further should you wish. Roderick really helps move your guests from room-to-room throughout the day. He even lets you bang the gong to help if you wish 😊 We released up to 50 Chinese lanterns that night. Watching them rise in to the air was magical and was complemented by Temple House’s beautiful grounds and clear starry skies. Thank you again to all at Temple House.

pulled out all the stops
We had a last minute wedding due to a family illness. Roderick really pulled out all the stops helping us pull this together in less than 4 weeks. He was so helpful and approachable that he really made this stress free for us. The night before we had a delicious dinner with family and had the whole house to ourselves to relax in, it was such a great idea. The wedding exceeded our expectations, such an amazing venue. The food on both days was so delicious. We really wish this day never ended.

Beautiful in every way
The venue is a stunning manor house which has beauty in every corner. The staff was more than accommodating. Every meal we had perfectly ranged from wonderful and simple to mind blowingly spectacular. Everything about this venue is an absolute fairytale. Only drawback I saw was that there was no lift which is understandable for a historic home but could be an issue for some.

Absolutely Amazing
Temple house is a hidden gem in Sligo, surrounded by beautiful grounds and steeped in history, it truly is a one of a kind venue; bursting with character. We had the most wonderful day, Roderick and his team were an absolute dream. They made our day so special, from the amazing setting and gorgeous rooms to the delicious food and excellent service; we couldn't have asked for better. One thing we highly valued was the food - our guests were not disappointed, it was clean plates all round! Karl the head chef has concocted a beautiful menu, with the braised beef cheek being our guests particular favourite! We partied into the night; with plenty of space for dancing and talking for those of our guests who preferred to sit and natter. Roderick was a massive help, ensuring that our day was properly structured and at no point was there any lulls - we couldn't have done it without him. Our recommendation: If you're looking for a unique venue that has the full package - don't delay and view today!
Response from the venue
wow - thank you.

I really couldn't recommend it highly enough!!!
We felt confident about booking Temple House immediately after talking to Roderick Perceval - who lives there and hosts. It was clear we would be in very safe hands, yet it would feel personal and casual. The experience was like that throughout - Roderick and his team ensured everything was perfect for us but at the same time it really felt like we were all friends at someone's house party (with amazing food). It was the best. I really couldn't recommend it highly enough!!!
