Ballymagarvey Village wedding film – Emma & Kevin, Co. Meath
A Ballymagarvey Village wedding in Co. Meath
Emma and Kevin celebrated their wedding in March 2024 at Ballymagarvey Village – a historic country estate in the Boyne Valley, Co. Meath, with a turreted country house, stone courtyards and beautifully restored barns. Their day began with a ceremony at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathfeigh and ended with sparklers under the stars.
Watch their wedding film above – and below, a look at how their Ballymagarvey Village wedding unfolded, with a few tips if you are planning your own day at this Meath venue.
Getting ready at Ballymagarvey
The morning started with the details: the wedding stationery featuring a sketch of Ballymagarvey House, wax seals, the engagement ring, pearl earrings, a floral hair comb, Jo Malone fragrances and sparkling Jimmy Choo heels.
Emma’s dress hung against a bamboo-trellis wall before she got ready, finishing with her pearl earrings, a delicate floral hair piece and a soft bouquet of blush roses and white blooms.
Ceremony at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Rathfeigh
Emma arrived for the 1:30pm ceremony at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathfeigh, Co. Meath, in a classic vintage wedding car. After the ceremony the couple headed back to Ballymagarvey Village for the reception.
Portraits around the estate
Ballymagarvey has so many places for portraits: the stone courtyard with its clock tower, the tree-lined avenue, the fountain in front of the house – and even a special guest, the couple’s dog, in his own little tuxedo bandana.
Reception in the barn
The reception was in one of Ballymagarvey’s restored stone barns, filled with fairy lights, candelabras and lush blush and white flowers.
Later, the evening ended in true Ballymagarvey style – with a sparkler send-off and a few last portraits beneath the illuminated tree with its hanging chandeliers.
Planning a Ballymagarvey Village wedding? A few tips
Use the whole estate. The courtyard, the avenue, the gardens and the fountain are all a short walk from each other – perfect for relaxed portraits and film.
Plan for the evening. The chandelier tree and a sparkler exit look magical after dark, so leave a few minutes for night portraits.
Bring your pets. If your dog is part of the family, a quick visit for photos and film adds a lovely personal moment.
