Where does one even begin when talking about our destination wedding at Ballyseede Castle? The amazing team preparing us with details on the ceremony, dining options, recommended vendors, pre-planning call, etc? The gorgeous venue, the grounds and the hotel rooms that stand the test of time? The delicious food and all its courses? The magnificent and attentive staff ready for you pre-, during and post-wedding? I can go on or let all their awards speak for itself! I have not attended or heard of a single wedding where every single aspect went as planned. I can tell you, our wedding was not only magical, but it was also absolutely perfect in every single way. That's thanks to Ballyseede with all their help and attentiveness in ensuring that the bride, groom and all our guests had the best time of their lives. Thank you Ballyseede!

We had a wonderful wedding at Ballyseede Castle! We had a small and intimate ceremony in the stone room which was then transformed into a beautiful banquet for our reception with plenty of room for dancing! The staff at the Ballyseede were amazing, they made our wedding day perfect and everything was flawless. The food for our reception dinner was so delicious and our guests could not stop talking about it. The castle and the grounds are stunning and we could not have asked for a better venue. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to the amazing food, beautiful surroundings, and attentive staff!

We only wish we could give more than 5 stars!! From the day we booked our wedding to checking out of Ballyseede we were bowled over by the service and support provided by Marnie, Rory and all the team in Ballyseede. To say that all of our expectations were surpassed is an understatement! We were truly made feel like the most special couple in the world on the day of our wedding! The setting in Ballyseede is truly magnificent and the food and service was amazing and our guests who attended are still talking about it and the fabulous day they experienced. We were amazed by all of the little touches and additional extras on the day and cannot stress how accommodating all of the team were to all of our requests! The professionalism, guidance and support we received from all of the staff was truly something that we will always remember and made our day special for us. There is not one thing we would change and We only wish that we could do it all over again!

It is very hard to do justice to Ballyseede castle in words. It really is an experience that everyone must encounter at least once in their lives. Before we were even engaged we knew that we wanted Ballyseede as our venue. It is testament to the place that many of our close family members have had their wedding there and each time the uncles, aunts and cousins revisit – it is a new experience. Marnie and Rory run their business with such professionalism, precision and experience that there isn’t room for anything to go wrong on the day. They have achieved the perfect balance of a family run business that surpasses commercial standards. The food – go and try for yourself. My husband is a farmer so having the steak up to scratch was of the upmost importance! And again, like everything else, it didn’t disappoint. There was plenty of everything. We had a selection of vegetarian and vegan needs with our guests and they all commented on how it was the most comprehensive menu they had seen at any wedding. A story we have only heard in the last few weeks – one of our guests rang the bar at Ballyseede in the weeks leading up to the wedding to enquire if they had a particular type of drink that she drank due to a health problem. The drink wasn’t stocked in the bar but the person she spoke to (unfortunately we didn’t get a name) assured her that it could be ordered in. The week of the wedding, our guest received a phone call to tell her that the drinks had arrived and would be chilled when she arrived on the day. That says it all really! We are so grateful for that huge effort. If you want a personalised experience that is like no other, with a team dedicated to achieving this for you – this is the place. We are thrilled that we got the venue for our wedding and we look forward to visiting again for many years to come to mark all our occasions.

We had our wedding there in August and we can't say enough good things about our experience. The staff were so attentive and helpful that we had the perfect wedding. It went incredibly smooth, not one hiccup. They bent over backwards to be helpful and do whatever it was we needed. The bridal suite was exceptional, as were the other rooms we had booked for guests. A+ comfort in accommodation, A+ quality in food, and overall a flawless experience. Not something you can say about just anyone. A special mention to Paul, Joanne, Esther, Ashton, and Mary, whom we dealt with directly and made our day so special.

Where do we begin? From beginning to end, Ballyseede Castle was the right choice. The Team are just outstanding. The planning process was very structured and we knew we were in professional hands from the outset. The planning was made really easy for us. We were guided by Marnie, Rory, Mary and the team with absolute attention to detail. On the wedding day itself everything went like clockwork - we were so well taken care of as were all of our guests. Esther was on hand with all the little touches and kept everyone calm and happy pre-ceremony! Mary's attention to detail shone through in all the little touches and Derry and Paul kept everything moving! The food, wines, service and friendliness were outstanding. All of our guests were completely overwhelmed by how welcoming and attentive all of the team at Ballyseede Castle were and no one wanted the weekend to finish. Thank you to everyone; Marnie, Rory, Mary, Hilla, Esther, Paul, Derry, Eileen and all of the wonderful people of Ballyseede Castle for making our wedding such a special time and creating memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We married in Summer 2019 and our reception was held in Ballyseede Castle, it was a cross between a fairy tale and a dream. The experience start to finish was fabulous. Every aspect of our day ran perfectly. This is a most beautiful location with an outstanding team. Guests complimented every aspect of their experiences from the ideallic setting, food quality, staff friendliness, accommodation quality to the relaxed atmosphere. The gardens and Castle provided a perfect backdrop for photos. The meal was divine and service was 5star with meticulous attention to detail. Packages were reasonably priced considering. A special mention to the fact that the hotel opted not add the government VAT increase from 2018 to our bill final bill as we had signed our contract ahead of the increase announcement. However, the hotel would have still had to pay the additional VAT cost on our behalf!! Wedding coordinators are friendly and welcoming, really helpful and relaxed. We loved every moment we spent there and wouldn't change a thing.

We held our ceremony and wedding reception in this amazing place in April. The memories we made here will live with us forever. Our thanks to Rory, Marnie and all the staff at Ballyseede for making our wedding weekend such a magical experience. The venue, although grand and spectacular, was informal, accessible, friendly and was imbued with a family, homely vibe. We truly had the most incredible time. From the beautiful stone room for our ceremony to the amazing food at our reception, and all the little touches in between, we could not have been more satisfied with our Ballyseede wedding experience. Both our families stayed in the Castle for 3 nights and everything was absolutely perfect. We had a mixture of accommodation in the old and new part of the Castle and both were just fantastic. The staff in Ballyseede are absolutely sensational and really make your stay here special. Ballyseede will occupy a special place in hearts forever, it's a place we'll return to over and over again to recapture the magic of our big day.

What a day it was we will never forget it and we have all the lovely Ballyseede staff to thank for that. We would just like to say a massive thank you, everything from the lead up to the wedding you guys were amazing. Everything ran so smoothly and we were bowled over by the attentive staff. We would like to say a massive thanks to Conor and Ester specifically as they were fantastic. We cannot thank you guys enough and we will remember this day forever.

My husband and I got married at Ballyseede Castle in July and we had the most fantastic day. The staff leading up to our wedding and then on the day itself were absolutely fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more! They were attentive to our every need and that of our guests. The accommodation was AMAZING and the food! Well we haven’t spoken to a friend or family member yet that hasn’t said ‘it’s the best food we’ve ever eaten at a wedding ever!’ If we had to do it all again there’s not one thing we would change, you can’t improve perfection and that is what our day was thanks to Ballyseede! We can’t wait to go back for an anniversary and would highly recommend the venue for anyone’s wedding So to the amazing staff we say thanks again from the Eves family

We came from Germany to have our small wedding at Ballyseede Castle this year. The staff from the castle was always very friendly, considerate and helpfull. We were able to manage everything via e-mail, which was most convenient for us.They let us do whatever we wanted and were able to have some very lovely photo shoots in the garden of the castle. I recommend this wonderful castle to everyone who wants a nice and outstanding wedding reception as well as a wedding party. If you talk to them, they will make almost everything happen. We will be very happy to come back to Ballyseede castle for our anniversary in two years.

Ballyseede Castle was an absolutely perfect venue for our wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff are amazing. They were responsive and helpful during the planning process and they were exceptional on the day of the wedding. They made sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to make the day perfect. I can't think of a better venue to get married in!

My husband and I live in the US and the lovely staff at Ballyseede made planning our wedding from across the Atlantic extremely easy. The day of was just amazing and the staff was so accommodating to myself and all of our guests. All our friends and family are still talking about how amazing the venue and staff were. Absolutely amazing place and people, highly recommend Ballyseede if you’re looking for a beautiful and stress free wedding!

We just want to say thank you so much to everyone at Ballyseede, but to Mary and Hilla in particular for helping us plan our fabulous wedding and making sure everything ran so smoothly for us. We had such a fantastic weekend and absolutely everybody remarked on how amazing Ballyseede Castle is. We can’t wait to return and relive our lovely memories sometime soon.

We nearly got married in Venice! It was provisionally booked! However, a chance scroll on Instagram one day led to one of the best decisions we could have made, on the most important day of our lives. We always loved castles, medieval history, Irish heritage but we thought a castle wedding might have been out of our league. I downloaded the brochure, looked at the pictures and packages, showed Nessan, and we knew that this was the place before we even went to see it. We felt so welcomed from our very first visit, the castle has a classy but relaxed and warm atmosphere. It was absolutely magic. I know that Mary, Marnie, Paul, Hilla and Rory deal with many brides and grooms but we always felt special and important, I have organised weddings and events in my own job and I was so impressed with the advice and kindness coming from this dream team! Esther, Joe, Tim are amazing too! Our wedding day was all we dreamed of and then some, we know that Ballyseede Castle was a massive part of this dream. Our guests are still raving about the venue, their rooms, the food, how did you find it they asked? Like the place was a secret uncovered! Several people told us that it was the best steak they ever had which is such a huge compliment. All you want for your guests is a beautiful place to spend a day and night and good food and wine! Our friends have now booked the castle for their 2021 wedding! Marnie and the staff came and walked dad and myself to the ceremony room, which is so beautiful. I felt like a rock star. I never expected to feel so special. I will also never forget the hug from Esther on my way to marry my best friend. We had gotten to know her a little during our little visits over the year! There were just so many fabulous little touches from the staff, too many to list! Marrying at the magical Ballyseede Castle was the best thing we could have done. There is something so special about Ballyseede Castle and it's people.

I couldn't speak more highly of all the Ballyseede team. From the day we went to visit, I knew I found the perfect location for our special day, all the staff treated us, our family and friends like we were their family. It was like home away from home. There exceptional high standards are evident throughout. From the time I arrived on the Friday the day before the wedding and checked out on the Sunday I was treated like I was the only Bride in the world. Their care went over and beyond. Down to all the little touches. I can't even put it into words how happy I am with our day and it was all down to the staff at Balllyseede. Our family and guest are in awe, and cant stopping praising us for treating them to a wonderful day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our amazing day.

We had our wedding here in April. The staff were so welcoming and easy to deal with from the beginning. The food was fantastic from start to finish, from wedding banquet to the breakfast. All staff in every area of the hotel are friendly and so accommodating. Nothing is a too much of an ask. Thank you so much to Rory, Marnie and the Ballyseede team for looking after us so well.

From the leafy, enchanting driveway with the Irish wolfhounds to the exceptionally charming and ornate dining rooms, this venue hits all the high notes! The staff are genuine, warm hearted people and provide an exquisite level of service. We celebrated our wedding in this beautiful, romantic castle and I cannot recommend a venue more wholehearted. The food is definitely fine dining; I tried both the steak and the sole and they literally melted in my mouth. The focus is on premium quality ingredients, cooked to exceptional standards. The rooms are lush and the beds are divine; I had a superb nights sleep! Thank you Rory, Marnie, you shared your exceptional venue with us. We will fondly remember Ballyseede, the dogs and all the staff who helped create lasting & beautiful memories of our special day.

Ballyseede was the perfect venue for us. Both Marnie and Rory were always helpful in any query we had. Also special mention to Ashton who is a great wedding coordinator and Paul the manager who was amazing on the day. They made the day feel so relaxed for both of us. Super place to get married if you want amazing food in beautiful surroundings in a very chilled atmosphere. Can't recommend enough.

Ballyseede Castle was all we wanted and more! It was the perfect place to host our Summer Garden Party wedding and even when there was a little bit of drizzle the orangery has a great outdoor indoor vibe. The staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble! The owners were so welcoming and we felt very special that they took the time to chat with us during the wedding. The list of suppliers supplied by the venue is excellent and it is worthwhile having people who already know the castle supply different parts of your wedding. All of the guests were really impressed with the venue and the great value of the bedrooms for the night. Ballyseede is the perfect mix of everything. Professionalism, value for money and delicious food! It was perfect!

We had our wedding in Ballyseede Castle. We had such an amazing day. From the start of our wedding journey, it was such a pleasure to work with the Ballyseede Castle especially Mary. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating & everything was done to the highest possible standard. This castle is amazing & anyone thinking of getting married here be in no doubt it will be the best day ever.

From start to finish the Ballyseede were a joy to deal with. Nothing was a hassle and they really cared about us. In the run up to the wedding we didn't have to give the venue a second thought, there was no reason to worry. We knew they had everything under control.They are extremely professional and really give you an experience we will never forget! We brought items that were special to us and they had no problem arranging them for us. From the moment we stepped out of our wedding car it was clear we were going to have the best afternoon of our lives. The setting is stunning and Marnie and Rory greeted us immediately and took us to a private room to freshen up, have nibbles and champagne. It truly was a special moment. Then on to the drinks reception and the outside area was fabulous. All our guests were really enjoying themselves. Everyone was so happy with the drunks reception and service. The staff were so friendly. We went upstairs for our meal and it was absolutely unbelievable. The majority of guests commented on the quality of the food and also the fact that everyone at the table was served almost together. We were blessed with the weather and many guests went back to the drinks reception area and outside for a walk etc to enjoy the beautiful grounds. We danced the night away and everyone had a brilliant day. People felt it was different to your usual wedding; it was like we had our own private venue-you didn't have to meet hotel guests or walk through a bar or past the check in desk. It was like a different world. I think the newly refurbished drinks reception area has really taken the Ballyseede to the next level. That's what won us over in choosing a venue. We had the best day of our lives and would highly recommend the Ballyseede, they truly are superb at their business and care about you! The wedding suite was also fabulous and we are going staying in the hotel over Christmas to reminisce again. Our wedding videos are stunning because of the Ballysee

We got married here 2 weeks ago, and I can honestly say I was so relaxed all day knowing that Marnie, Rory and all the staff had everything thing in control gave us the freedom to really enjoy our day, all our guests loved it too, stunning hotel, amazing grounds for photos, staff are excellent, food is top quality. We honestly couldn't have asked for more from them and if we did I've no doubt they would have delivered. Many thanks again Marnie and Rory.

We got married in Ballyseede Castle in December 2018. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. Everything from start to finish was amazing! The staff in Ballyseede castle are so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us or our guests! They are so professional and everything is done to the highest standard. Planning of the day was effortless from the very beginning with the help and advice from the staff. On the day the venue was spectacular and the food was even better. I literally cannot fault a thing and I can't thank Rory and Marnie and all their staff enough especially Mary, Ashton, Ester, Paul and Joanne. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. We will definitely be going back for regular visits.

We would just like to say thanks to Marnie, Rory and Mary and all the team at Ballyseede Castle for an exceptional wedding reception. From the moment we arrived on the day the attention to detail was really outstanding . Everything about the hotel is beautiful and made our day extra special. The service and the food is top class. We had a fabulous day & would highly recommend Ballyseede Castle Hotel as a wedding venue.

We could not find one fault with ballyseede Castle Hotel, from booking our date with them to the wedding day they were such a pleasure to deal with, nothing was a burden, the service is second to none, we were made feel so relaxed on the day, the ceremony in the Stone Room was stunning, the drinks reception area was beautiful, the meal had to have been the best we've had, the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough.

Where do you start when you want to review a wedding venue like Ballyseede Castle? I think first and foremost it has to be with the staff. When David and I were looking for wedding venues this time last year, we really had no clue what kind of venue we wanted for our wedding. Ballyseede castle was the second place which we viewed and from the minute we walked in the door we knew our decision had been made. Besides the homely atmosphere that we got from Ballyseede and the amazing history and surroundings, a massive part of that decision was when we meet one of the wedding planners Ashton, who was so welcoming and put the two of us who hadn’t a clue about weddings at ease. Over the next year, we got to meet a lot more of the staff, the owners Marnie and Rory, Mary (Ballyseede’s other wedding planner), all of whom have been so lovely and really made our wedding a dream to organise. Thanks to Ashton and Mary, the planning stages of the wedding were seamless, and any suggestions/ideas we had, there was never a problem. On the day of the wedding itself, Ballyseede were just amazing, we could not fault one thing and our guests were blown away by the venue. We need to say a massive thank you to Joanna who looked after us on the day, she was so lovely and made the two of us feel like kings for the day. The comments we heard from our guests were “Best wedding venue they have ever been at” “Friendliest Staff” “Fantastic Food” “Gorgeous Rooms”. Thanks so much to everyone at Ballyseede castle for giving me and David the best day of our lives, we loved every minute of it and a huge part of that was due to your phenomenal wedding venue. We will be back so see you all very soon.

Everything at Ballyseede was perfect for our wedding day. The food was amazing, all the guests commented on how lovely the food was. The service and staff were very friendly and professional, nothing was too much. They were super at replying to questions and emails prior to the wedding. Marnie was extremely helpful and thoughtful on the morning of the wedding. They were all super the morning after the wedding at breakfast. Everyone there made us feel very special! I would recommend Ballyseede to anybody! I would love to be having my wedding there all over again!
