I think markree castle is a great one for a wedding my cousin married there last year.
It's well worth checking out, plenty of rooms to rent too

Landmark is a good shout if having it in Leitrim in an option. Been to loads of weddings in it, very good venue. Actually home this weekend for a wedding in it.

Castle durrow is the biz but you won't see much change from fifty grand. In Dublin, summer hill house is grand. Finnstown is lovely, again in the hefty bracket

Osprey is fab but never at a wedding there.
 
 
This lady knows her stuff but all of the above would not be on the cheaper side.  But then again you get what you pay for etc.
 
Alot depends on what area you are looking at obviously?
 
Biggest advice from the point of view of a good night is make sure the bar is in the function room.  Places like Carton House for example have the bar outside the function room - DISASTER.

If you're looking at Leitrim , check out Kilronan Castle. Its county Roscommon but is right on the Leitrim border.Its 20 mminutes from carrick on shannon about ten minutes from Drumshabo.

They do very good packages in the waterside at great value too. Been to 2 weddings there !

Food was great indeed, and what sealed it for us was the fact that it's a small enough hotel with a large function room and a great location. We easily fit about 140 in for the meal and another good few for the afters. 
Just North of Dublin so easy access for all the family etc, and they're open to negotiating on prices for just about anything. Especially if you have the numbers.

They only have about 30 odd hotelrooms in the place so we booked it out and had the whole place to ourselves. Nothing worse for a bride than to have another bride having her special day in the same place,

Anyway, I'm sure yiz will pick a great one to suit your respective tastes and wishes, but most important thing is to not be afraid to haggle for rates. The advantage is with couples these days instead of the venues like it was in the past.

A bit far away from Dublin but an oustanding hotel is Dunmore House Hotel near Clonakilty. It's one of the best venues in the country for a wedding reception:

Went to School beside there. Stunning scenery. Was a kip of a spot years ago but they did a big job on it and it is stunning now. You will not get a better location in my view.  What a spot.
