The picturesque Darver Castle dates back to the 15th Century and is situated on 50 acres of fine parkland and wooded grounds in County Louth. A beautiful private estate steeped with history and romance. The venue is lovingly restored by the Carville family, who continue to care for it to this day. In true festive style, Nathan and Declan decorated the castle with Christmas tree's and fairy lights and donned their best suits for their winter wedding. Burgundy velvet jackets to be exact which complemented the groomsmaids dark green dresses perfectly.
