Our Venue
JP Clarke’s, in a restored fisherman’s cottage, is the ideal blend of traditional and modern Ireland for your special day.
Our Staff
Our attentive team, led by Barry and Kieran, ensures your wedding runs smoothly, so you can enjoy your day.
Our Atmosphere
JP Clarke’s provides a cosy, inviting setting with a blend of old-world charm and modern elegance to make your day perfect.
Where Memories Are Made
Nestled in the heart of the historical village of Bunratty, JP Clarke’s is just minutes from Limerick and Shannon. The proximity to the famous Bunratty Castle offers a picturesque backdrop for your wedding photos, enhancing the charm of our quaint cottage restaurant.
Inside, our newly redecorated interior perfectly marries the old-world charm of Ireland with modern comforts. Each table is beautifully adorned with candles and fresh flowers, creating an intimate and warm atmosphere. Our cosy bar, stocked with a wide range of whiskeys, gins, stouts, and more, is sure to delight your guests.
Ceremony Venues
There are a number of churches in the area that will cater for religious ceremonies, but if you are looking for a civil ceremony then we suggest Ardcroney Church in Bunratty Folk Park. Built in 1824 in a gothic style, Ardcroney Church originally stood in the townland of Conger in North Tipperary. Donated and rebuilt in Bunratty Folk Park in 1995, this charming structure offers the perfect venue for wedding ceremonies.
Accommodating up to 70 guests, clients are open to decorate and theme to their own personal choices for your special day.
A Taste Sensation
Our Award-Winning Kitchen is led by Head Chef Kieran Murphy, who has created a selection of beautiful dishes worthy of a fine dining restaurant. Working with in-season, local produce, we can create a full a la carte menu to suit you, your guests and your budget.
We’re here to guide you through planning the perfect wedding, and can help advise on wedding locations, celebrants, musical accompaniment, florists, transport and transfers and accommodation.
The benefit of having a smaller wedding is that we can create an evening that is unique and personal to the couple – why not get in touch to find out what we can do for you?
