We have visited the Ballyliffin Lodge many times for Sunday dinner, so when it came to booking our wedding, there was only one place in mind. We already knew the food was of a high standard and that the staff were always welcoming. With just one viewing and a single conversation, we were completely settled on The Lodge. Given our previous experiences, my expectations were already high—surely such a familiar place couldn’t impress me any more? From the very beginning, Danielle was brilliant—nothing was off the table. Every idea I had was explored and made possible. I felt calm throughout the entire process, as Danielle's communication was exceptional. I never found myself with unanswered questions or wondering what was next, because she kept me in the loop every step of the way. We had complete trust in Danielle and the team. When our actual wedding day arrived, my already high expectations were surpassed. The entire day ran so smoothly. We hardly had to think about a thing because Madeline and her team guided us through everything seamlessly. Not having to worry allowed us to truly enjoy our time together and with our guests. Madeline is an expert—the whole day was picture-perfect. It's been four months since our wedding, and our family and friends are still talking about the food—how quickly it was served, how warm it was, the generous portion sizes, and, of course, how delicious the Chicken Vol-Au-Vents were! Thank you for making it the best day of our lives. The Brollys

Everything was perfect from start to finish - we couldn’t have asked for better. Nothing was too much bother in the planning of the wedding. The setting and location of the hotel are just amazing. We were so blessed with the weather which meant that guests could mingle in the wedding garden overlooking the beach and we could celebrate with them outside once we arrived.

Our wedding day at Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa Hotel last month was the most perfect day and one we will forever treasure. The standard of service we received before, during and after the event was phenomenal. Danielle the events coordinator made the whole process run seamlessly, from start to finish. She took all the stress away from planning overseas from Australia, making sure to follow up on any questions and queries we had, which put our minds at ease. Danielle's attention to detail was exceptional and nothing was ever too much hassle. She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful event coordinators I’ve ever had contact with. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. With follow-up phone calls on every query and always keeping the hotel staff in the loop, she made communication easy, especially with the time difference. All the local companies we used for various services, such as flowers and the cake, the hotel coordinated beautifully on their arrival to the venue at the allocated times. The memories made will last a lifetime and we have the hotel to thank for creating such a beautiful wedding space, amazing atmosphere and outstanding staff, who are polite, cheerful and extremely helpful. We have had so many family members phone us to thank us for a beautiful day and just how much they enjoyed the venue and staff at the Lodge, with comments such as: "...some of the nicest hotel staff they have met in Donegal" "The grounds are just glorious, you couldn’t ask for a better view." "How lucky are we to have a view like that on our doorstep." From start to finish with planning, the booking process and all the fine details, the hotel was fantastic. Madeleine and the team sorted all our accommodation needs for guests. With the stunning gardens and amazing ocean views, The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa Hotel has to be one of the most perfect Wedding Venues a couple could ask for.

We are not local to Donegal, so we emailed our questions and requests back and forth, which Danielle dealt with promptly. As for the day itself, what a day it was! We used our own centrepieces, and the staff set these out for us, which was a big help. The Rolls Royce met us at the beach to take photographs, which was lovely. Fantastic service from arrival to departure. Madeleine ensured everything ran smoothly and kept us updated on what was happening. The food was delicious, and the setup was amazing. We could not fault the Ballyliffin Lodge and would recommend this venue for our couples getting married. Our guests all complimented the food and venue. 10/10!

On the wedding day, we had Madeline, the wedding coordinator. She helped to keep the wedding day running as smoothly as possible, from the reception to dinner to cutting the cake and everything in between. She catered to us and our daughters so well on the day, and it was a blessing to have her there, keeping everything organized. She is truly amazing at what she does, and the day ran beautifully. I also want to add in the duty manager Jason porter who was working that night, he helped us with any requests we had and nothing was a bother for him.
