Our Wedding Team

Dee Smyth, Wedding Co-ordinator

Dee has been turning wedding dreams into reality at the County Arms for over four years.

I’m sure everyone else is saying it too, but the Georgian Drawing Room is my favourite spot at the County Arms! It’s just stunning, with floor to ceiling windows and a huge fireplace there is nowhere better in the town to snuggle up by the fire with a good book and a coffee or a cold glass of Pinot Grigio from The Shaker Room. When I eat in Bar 62, I usually opt for the Goat’s Cheese Tartlet, the flaky pastry and creamy filling really sets you up for the rest of the day! 

My favourite place to shop in Birr are The Stables on Oxmantown Mall, it is a one stop shop for gorgeous fashion, beautiful gifts, and amazing food. I love to browse, they have  fabulous clothes, and incredible homewares, with lots of Irish designers, artists and makers featured, and the tea rooms are lovely. Birr Castle Demesne is the gem of the town, so much to see and do, you could spend days there, the Leviathan telescope and the Science Centre are fascinating.

I love working at the County Arms, we have a fantastic team and working in events means that every day is different, we are too busy to ever get bored! I genuinely love working with couples to bring their dream wedding to life, it’s such an honour to be part of someone’s special day.
