I just want to say that we had the most amazing wedding in Ballyseede Castle. The staff, the food the atmosphere were exceptional. I dealt with an amazing lady called Mary from the initial consultation right up to our wedding day. She was so nice and nothing seemed to be a problem. She was also very professional and anyone would be so lucky to be dealing with her. We had a small wedding of 53 but everyone commented on how much fun they had and how fantastic the food and service was. Talk about amazing staff. There was a lovey girl helping myself and Brian for the day I think her name was Emer, she was fantastic. Our honeymoon suite was gorgeous, our breakfast was lovely, honestly we had to most amazing time, thank you so much to everyone. Love Mr&Mrs Horan

Thank you and the Ballyseede staff so much for a fantastic day! We and all of our guests enjoyed every moment of the celebrations. If only we could have added an extra few hours to the day itself, it went too quickly! We are so happy we choose Ballyseede Castle Hotel as our venue.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
