After several tries, we finally got the wedding reception we had dreamed of. Thanks to COVID 19,we had a few attempts, and over each disappointment Jenny and Michelle took care to guide us through the next steps. They were attentive and understanding and very patient. Not to mention the opulence of the hotel itself and the beautiful grounds. Barry looked after us on The Big Day and from start to finish he was fantastic. We were confident in his management of our day's events and he was very approachable and happy to help, going out of his way more than once to help with any random requests. Thanks to the team for giving us the most special of days. Sarah and Phil.

Every staff member was friendly and professional and together provided us with a truly memorable day. The quality of professionalism in the setting, service and product both in the run up to and on the day itself was outstanding. The complementary spa membership in the run up to the wedding was a real highlight. I would highly recommend The Culloden as a wedding reception venue.

We had a fantastic day and night! Can’t thank the Culloden staff enough for all their efforts on making the perfect day! With 320+ guests they surely done my wife and I as well as our guests proud! Great job and keep up the great work team! See you all soon!

All staff at the Culloden were great, and the service was just fantastic on the day. The room was set up perfectly, and it looked even better than I had imagined! The food was delicious, and honestly the day just flowed so well, we loved it. We are so happy we chose the Culloden as our venue- every single guest commented what a beautiful place it was and were so impressed. Thanks for making the day so special, and we will definitely be back in future!

Thank you for all of your help over the last 2+years! It has been such a pleasure to work with you. I also need to specially call out Barry, who took incredible care of us on the day. He even walked me down the stairs because I was so nervous. He was amazing, can’t say enough good things about him!! Thank you again!! I wish we could do it all again, but I’d like to think it’ll just be the one wedding for me! Sam

Michelle Thank you for everything you done for us.

We had many last minute worries due to Covid, but the staff supported us, adjusted numbers without question, and made sure the day went off without any hassle. My husband, who is Italian, loved everything from the location, to the food, and even enjoyed his coffee! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, because of the impeccable planning and support we felt from start to finish! Thank you to the wonderful staff in the Culloden - memories we will cherish forever.

I know everyone says it is the best day of your life but that is because it really is! From start to finish everything ran perfectly. There was no problem too big that the staff couldn’t solve. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, from bar staff to the night porters and of course my lovely wedding planner Ainsleigh and the banqueting manager Victoria. The culloden is such a beautiful place to get married and the views are fantastic for pictures without having the worry of going somewhere else. I find it so calming when I am there even though I have a one year old child running around like crazy. It is honestly one of my favourite places in the world to go. The food on the day was delicious. So many guests told us they have never had beef so tender let alone when the chef was making nearly 60 of them! The desserts were so tasty I only wish there had been some left over. The bedrooms are clean and luxurious and we were in my favourite suite overlooking the water although by the time we got back to the room after dancing til 2am and up in the morning for the private breakfast with family and friends, I just I wish I had more time to enjoy it! I didn’t feel stressed, I was able to relax and enjoy the day. Not once was I told to hurry up because we were behind time and I was chatting too much. I was told “it is your day” and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better one. I just wish I could do it all over again! Thank you to all the staff for a day I will always remember

My husband & I could not recommend the Culloden highly enough! Such a beautiful venue, in a stunning setting with breathtaking views, we really could have been anywhere in the world. We began planning our wedding in January this year & despite having a short time in which to plan, the staff at the Culloden were so friendly, accommodating & nothing was too much trouble. We are indebted to them especially for putting us in touch with a wonderful pastor who helped us create the perfect ceremony. Special thanks must go to Ainsleigh who really was a blessing in the latter months of planning; she put us at ease, helped in any way she could, was always available to chat & bounce ideas off & who just took the stress out of it all, helped us to enjoy the build up & who's honesty & kindness we are so grateful for. The day itself was a joy; a fantastic day which we will never forget, made possible by the seemingly effortless work of Ainsleigh, Caolan and the whole team. We honestly didn't worry about anything other than just enjoying ourselves. From the venue itself, the food & drink, to the way in which our suite was decorated, we wouldn't change a thing. We have said to many people who've asked "how was the big day?", We would love to do it all again! We will certainly be back to celebrate our anniversary, to reminisce on what was an unforgettable day & experience, if not before!! Laura & Joseph Hunter

To all the wedding planning team! We just want to say a massive thank you for helping us plan our big day on 2/11/19. We really had the best time, the venue was absolutely stunning & set up to perfection!! We enjoyed everything from our first initial meeting & show around with Michelle, to our meal tasting & chat with Jenny & then our chats, phone calls & emails back & forward with Ainsley. Everyone made us feel so at ease & relaxed. We never felt under pressure or stressed to do something within a certain time frame. Victoria, you looked after us so well on the day & the ceremony & drinks reception room was gorgeous. It was set up just how I wanted it & looked so beautiful. As far as I know everything ran so smoothly & the atmosphere was really chilled. It was so nice to see our guests having such a wonderful time. A big thank you to the chefs for the amazing food, so many of our guests have expressed how the meal was one of the nicest they’ve had at a wedding. So thank you for that. Thanks to the serving & bar staff for keeping things running smoothly as well. Could you also pass on our thanks to the concierge staff, one name that I remember & a couple of our guests spoke highly of was Aaron. Everyone on the team was so helpful & friendly, even the night before & day after. We still felt so special & everyone was so excited for us, it was really nice. All in all, the culloden really have a wonderful team, everyone is so friendly & approachable & they would go out of their way to help you no matter what. We’re so glad we picked the culloden as our wedding venue, it holds a special place in our hearts as we met there & got engaged there & we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Can’t believe it’s all over now but we’re looking forward to bumping into everyone again in the future! I’d say we’ll be back at least once a year to celebrate all our anniversaries!! Lots of love Victoria & David Brennan 02.11.19

In the lead up to our wedding we were kindly looked after by Cheryl, who made planning our wedding at the Culloden so simple and her attentiveness was second to none. No request seemed to much and she advised us were needed. Each time we visited the Culloden the staff were fantastic and so welcoming. The day before the wedding we were given full access to the room and Victoria was our coordinator on the day! She was absolutely fantastic and the day was executed to perfection. The food was incredible and far better than we ever expected - it was so lovely to walk around chatting to our guests and seeing cleared plates, they are still raving about the food! And as an extra special touch we were able to all have breakfast together the following day which just finished the weekend off so nicely! We couldn’t thank the Culloden and their team enough for their help in the lead up to the wedding, on the day and after in clearing everything up, they made our day truely memorable and we honestly couldn’t recommend them enough to any future brides and grooms!

I cannot reccomend the Culloden Estate & Spa enough for a wedding. I was able to arrange everything with our wedding coordinator Jenny via email which was easier for me throughout the whole process. When it came to our wedding day... everything was utterly fantastic. From the breakfast myself and my bridesmaids got served in our room while we were getting ready, the service of every member of staff we met during the day, the dinner we were served to the stunning Holywood suite and views over looking the lough. We were also fortunate enough to have our ceremony out on the balcony of the Holywood suite which could not have been more perfect! The cost of our wedding was extremely reasonable considering the location and service that the Culloden provide. The rooms are so luxurious and the honeymoon suite was out of this world... they were even able to accommodate a bed for my 3 year old daughter in the suite. If I could do it all over again ...I would still pick this venue! .

In particular we wish to repeat a huge thank you to Jenny Mercer and staff, also manageress Helen and staff at the Cultra Inn for the barbeque the night before, and Victoria Parkes and banqueting staff at the Stuart Suite. Not to mention the chefs who provided excellent hot food despite many Norwegian speeches and shenanigans. Also the bar, restaurant, reception, housekeeping and door staff must not be left out. Many of the guests express their wish to return, and so do we :-)

From the moment we walked into the Culloden we knew this was the place we wanted for our wedding reception. Michelle was amazing from start to finish, none of my 500 questions in my little blue book were ever too much hassle for her to answer. The atmosphere on the day was just something else, with the help of your team it ran so smoothly, everyone was relaxed and everything we had asked for was in place. I will never forget the warm welcome Victoria gave us when we stepped out of the wedding cars as she congratulated us as the new Mr and Lady Brown! The room looked amazing, our hunter green looked out of this world in the Stuarts Suite, but I might be biased on that one! The food was superb and was put down in front of each guest at the one table at exactly the same time, no-one was left waiting. The food was delicious, roasting hot and full of flavour, better than we had ever expected and our glasses were always full. The staff the whole day could not have been any more attentive or polite. Everyone had a wonderful evening, some people even manage more food when the evening food came out! We stayed in the Palace Suite....well oh my! As if we hadn't been treated like absolute royalty already, we got the stay in the most amazing room on this earth! We had private dining for breakfast with all our guests that stayed over, again the food and service was out of this world. I can not thank the whole Culloden staff enough, even the people we didn't get a chance to meet. It is a day we will never forget, it being made more special as it was my grandparents 53rd wedding anniversary and my parents 30th, all of which got married in the Culloden all those years ago.
