Our Story
A beautifully restored church where history, architecture and unforgettable celebrations come together.
Welcome to The Church
Restoring a Local Landmark
In 2014, the Hughes family saw more than an empty building. They saw an opportunity to preserve an important part of Rostrevor’s heritage and breathe new life into a much-loved landmark.
The restoration carefully respected the church’s original architecture while transforming it into an elegant venue for weddings and private celebrations.
Original stained-glass windows, exposed brickwork, handcrafted doors, traditional pews and historic lighting were all thoughtfully retained or reimagined, ensuring the building’s unique character remained at the heart of every celebration.
Weddings at The Church
The Best of Both Worlds
Today, The Church offers something truly different.
Historic architecture, vaulted ceilings and original stained glass create an atmosphere unlike any modern venue, while elegant dining, contemporary styling and experienced event coordination ensure every celebration feels effortless.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, private dinner or milestone celebration, every event is tailored around your vision, allowing the building’s remarkable history to become part of your own story. This blend of heritage and hospitality is what makes The Church such a distinctive venue.
