Dundalk Chamber of Commerce held a Winter Gathering for Members in Darver Castle which was attended by over 140 people.
The evening focused on celebrating 25 years of the Carville Family at Darver Castle as a valued Chamber member and presented a great opportunity for Chamber members to meet and network with each other. Guests also had the opportunity to try Darver’s signature Whiskey and Pink Gin. Alongside being a popular wedding destination, Darver Castle is also hosting corporate events.
Speaking at the event, Dundalk Chamber CEO John McGahon said “Aidan and Mary Carville first took over Darver Castle in 1997 and over 25 years, have grown it into one of Ireland’s premier wedding destinations. Since then, it has become a real family business alongside their daughter Julie. They are valued members of Dundalk Chamber, and we were delighted to be able to acknowledge their success and having our members hosted by the renowned Carville hospitality.
Dundalk Chamber President Hanna McDonnell said, “It was brilliant to see more than 140 of our members come together, especially with the festive spirit adding warmth and excitement to the evening. We were particularly pleased to have our corporate partners, Alan Farrelly of UHY Farrelly Dawe White and Brendan McGrath of WuXi Biologics in attendance.
The seasonal atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for meaningful connections and networking. Aidan and Mary were wonderful hosts, and we are excited to collaborate with them as Chamber members in 2026 concluded Hanna.
