Exciting new “Italian Style” Weddings at Druids Glen Resort

                                                            Italian Weddings by Catherine Fulvio at Druids Glen

- that’s amore!

There are few more romantic countries than Italy, home of Romeo and Juliet, two of literature’s most famous lovers, and a country associated with romance, passion, amore and… good food!

Druids Glen is a luxurious and picturesque wedding venue, as there is nothing to compare to its naturally gorgeous backdrop, with lush gardens, dramatic scenery, 5 star service and a particularly elegant ballroom.

Now bringing the best of both together in a magical way, with a new Italian wedding package at Druids Glen in association with Catherine Fulvio, Irish brides and grooms can enjoy the warm flavours, flair and distinctive style of Italy in the stunning surroundings of this Wicklow gem!

Druids Glen Resort is delighted to announce a new phase in their successful working relationship with local Wicklow woman Catherine Fulvio, with the launch of stylish and delicious Italian wedding menus designed in partnership with chef Catherine.

Well-known chef, food writer & cookery school proprietor, Catherine has worked closely with many of the excellent suppliers she knows so well and Druids Glen Resort’s Head Chef Dheeraj Ramgoolam to create a signature wedding menu, now available to brides and grooms in Druids Glen Resort.

From Italian prosecco at the pre-dinner drinks reception, where guests have the chance to toast the happy couple with "Per cent'anni!” (the traditional Italian wedding toast of “For a hundred years!”) to delicious homemade biscotti with fine Italian coffee at the end of this Italian feast, Catherine has created a luxurious and sophisticated menu, showcasing fabulous Mediterranean flavours

This evocative meal begins with generous antipasti platters to share, including crostini of local goat’s cheese, marinated artichokes, grilled courgette & roast peppers, Parma ham and Gubeen salami, served with garden salad, sundried tomatoes, olives, balsamic dressing and freshly baked breads and dips such as extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pesto Genovese.

With an option of rustic Tuscan bean soup or rich roast tomato & basil soup, main courses are a choice of fillet of beef with a Parmesan & fresh herb crust, potato & garlic gratin and Chianti reduction or fillet of seabass, stuffed  with lemon, almond and sun dried tomato couscous, roast fennel & courgette with mint and citrus & white wine sauce.

There are side dishes of sage & garlic roast root vegetables or, in summer, green beans and mangetout with lemon butter, and the vegetarian option is roast stuffed aubergine with saffron custard.

And finally, dessert includes a Limoncello meringue pie with mixed berry compote & lemon curd cream – deliziosissima!

With wonderful bedrooms at special rates, outstanding service and dedicated wedding coordinator providing a reassuringly constant presence for brides and grooms on the big day, 5 star Druids Glen Resort is a peaceful and luxurious country retreat, and a lovely setting for glamorous weddings.

And at the end of your big day at Druids Glen Resort, as they say in Italy - "Evviva gli sposi!" or "Hurray for the newlyweds!"

Italian Weddings by Catherine Fulvio at Druid Glen is just one of the options for elegant and stylish weddings available at the Resort.
