Montalto Estate

Set within a historic estate in Ballynahinch, Montalto offers event planners a choice of distinctive spaces for private and corporate occasions. Its 18th-century mansion and 400-acre grounds can be hired for gatherings ranging from small group visits and lunches to company away days, summer parties and larger celebrations. The estate has hosted product launches, presentations, dinners, fashion shows, photo shoots and vehicle demonstrations, making it a flexible setting for events with varied formats and purposes.

Montalto House is available for exclusive private hire and can also provide accommodation for groups. The house has nine bedrooms for up to 18 adults, along with a library and spaces suited to an intimate stay or gathering. Event planners can discuss bespoke menus and arrangements with the estate team.

For weddings, the estate is also home to The Carriage Rooms, a dedicated venue with a strong focus on ceremonies and receptions. Its heritage character, gardens and changing seasonal scenery offer couples different settings throughout the year. The venue also welcomes private events, conferences and meetings, with an events team available to discuss requirements and dates.

Across the estate, the combination of a historic house, landscaped grounds and purpose-built event rooms gives organisers options for both intimate occasions and larger functions. Montalto can suit planners seeking an established country setting in County Down, whether the brief is a wedding celebration, a corporate gathering or a private event with overnight accommodation.
