Looking for a Wedding DJ Cabra Castle couples can rely on to deliver a packed dancefloor and an unforgettable night? DJ Matsey D has performed at this magnificent castle in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan for a number of weddings — including the weddings of Aine & Paul, Dean & Rachel and Donna & Michael — and knows the venue, the Ballroom and the flow of a Cabra Castle wedding inside out.
Here's a taste of the energy DJ Matsey D brings to a Cabra Castle wedding — everyone on the floor, including the bride!
Cabra Castle is one of Ireland's most iconic and prestigious castle wedding venues — a magnificent 4 star castle hotel set on 100 acres of parkland and gardens in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, on the edge of the spectacular Dún a Rí Forest Park. Just one hour from Dublin and 90 minutes from Belfast, it's one of Leinster's most sought-after wedding destinations.
Since 1992, the Corscadden family have built Cabra Castle into one of Ireland's most celebrated wedding venues — with over 6,000 weddings hosted and counting. The family are well known for their love of Irish Wolfhounds, and on arrival at Cabra Castle you'll be greeted by their resident hounds Oscar and Guinness — a warm and memorable welcome that sets the tone for the entire day.
The castle interior exudes old world elegance — hand painted ceilings, exquisite antiques, Gothic style leaded windows and a grand staircase all contribute to its unique and magical atmosphere. With Waterford Crystal chandeliers, five-tiered golden candelabras and rich table linens gracing the Ballroom, Cabra Castle is the ultimate fairytale Irish castle wedding. As your dedicated Wedding DJ Cabra Castle, DJ Matsey D brings the energy and expertise to match this extraordinary setting.
The main evening reception and dancefloor space. Adorned with Waterford Crystal chandeliers and golden candelabras — seats up to 260 guests. This is where the magic happens.
A separate cosy room where tea, coffee and sandwiches are served during the evening food break. Guests gather here before returning to the dancefloor for the rest of the night.
A stunning new addition to the estate — a private venue for Day 2 celebrations, intimate weddings or additional celebrations. Perfect for couples who want to keep the party going.
A brand new addition that takes the drinks reception to the next level — cocktails, gin stations, canapés and grazing tables all available to wow your guests on arrival.
Cabra Castle is an approved venue for civil, spiritual and humanist ceremonies — with beautiful indoor and outdoor options so your entire celebration can take place under one historic roof.
100 acres of manicured parkland and gardens — stunning for drinks receptions and wedding photography, with the magnificent Dún a Rí Forest Park as a backdrop.
The band and DJ set up on the stage area where the top table was positioned during the wedding meal. The Cabra Castle team are very efficient at turning the room over — and while this happens, the band and DJ set up simultaneously so there's no waiting around and the music gets going without delay.
Music at Cabra Castle typically begins between 9:30pm and 10:00pm depending on how the day runs. Evening food is usually served approximately one hour after the band or DJ starts. During food service the house lights are turned on as the Cabra Castle team move around each table serving the hot food — a smooth and well organised process the team have perfected over thousands of weddings.
Tea, coffee and sandwiches are served in the Pantry Kitchen — a separate cosy room away from the Ballroom. Guests make their way there for supper before coming back to the dancefloor for the rest of the night. Audrey is the familiar face you'll see looking after guests in the Pantry Kitchen — always welcoming and on top of everything.
Andie from the Banquet Department and Sean the bar manager are the names you'll know from your Cabra Castle wedding night — both experienced, professional and always easy to work with. The entire Cabra Castle team share the same ethos as the Corscadden family — warm, welcoming and focused on making every couple's night perfect.
The Corscadden family who own and run Cabra Castle also own Bellingham Castle, Markree Castle, Ballyseede Castle and most recently Killeen Castle — a remarkable portfolio of Irish castle venues. Their love of Irish Wolfhounds is a signature touch across all their properties — at Cabra Castle, Oscar and Guinness are on hand to greet every couple and their guests on arrival.
With weddings increasingly becoming two and three day celebrations, Cabra Castle has ensured couples have the perfect setting to keep the party going. The Granary offers a private, relaxed space for couples and their closest family and friends — with summer BBQ and buffet menu options available. DJ Matsey D is also available for Day 2 Celebrations at Cabra Castle.
