We’ve managed to talk to nearly everyone who attended the wedding now at this stage Absolutely everyone was BLOWN AWAY by the food – especially those who had the beef. Everyone who had it was amazed that each and every piece came out perfectly cooked. The staff on the day were incredibly helpful, from greeting me at the car when I arrived to recommending when I (the bride) should enter the room to walk up the aisle. I was about to gallop up after the bridesmaid when they said I should let her get half way up so I could have “my moment”. Once the ceremony was finished we were greeted with a glass of prosecco each which was so nice and very much appreciated! We didn’t even notice the changeover of the room from the ceremony to the reception which just goes to show how professional everyone was and then for the evening portion of the wedding, the food came out so seamlessly it was like it was delivered by ninjas! When everything was finished & we came back to the hotel to pick up our bits, everything had been packed away for us for collection. I couldn’t recommend the hotel enough and while it’s a stunning venue it’s the staff that really made it special for us.

We had an absolutely ball but more importantly so did our guests. The food tasting gave us a real insight into the standard. The wine tasting took time as we took this very seriously but Victor helped us out on 3 occasions. Macha was very prompt with responses, Colette was always friendly and both were on the ball asking questions which we wouldn’t have thought of. Finally the staff on the day were always willing to answer and fulfil any guests needs.

My husband and I couldn’t recommend Thomas Prior Hall more highly as a wedding venue. Our guests were very complimentary about the quality of food and the service received. We are in full agreement. We loved the location of the building and also it’s architectural beauty. The layout of the Thomas Prior Hall and the way different areas are run worked perfectly for us. The acoustics were also excellent. We had our ceremony and reception in the hall with our drinks reception in the grandstand courtyard. There are lovely spots to take photos in the garden too. Our guests were also very happy with the hotel rooms in the Clayton Hotel (linked to the hall). The bridal suite was perfect. Our needs were accommodated in every way-be it early check in, Hall access for decoration, cake cutting, wheelchair access, mics... We had a great party and loved every minute.

We had the most amazing day. Thank you all so much we were really blown away. We were delighted by the whole day. All the staff were amazing. Thank you and all the events team for all your time and organising. Ye made it all so easy. The food was gorgeous- people were so impressed. The staff on for the reception and the dining room were all fantastic. Graham did a brilliant job and sorted out the microphone and mother's gifts so quickly.

Our first visit to Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge was July 2018. As we stood outside we knew immediately that this was the place we wanted to get married and have our reception. During our visit we spoke to the wedding coordinator. She was extremely helpful and professional. Upon returning home we set the date. We returned in April for the tasting and other necessary arrangements were made. Everything went very smoothly as we prepared to get married. We arrived a few days before as did several guests. The reception staff were outstanding and friendly helping us with details. Answering questions. We had on Friday dinner reservations for 18 of us. The food and service was outstanding. On our wedding day Nichole made sure everything was perfect. The Thomas Pyor hall was stunning. We loved the way the cake was displayed. With the lights. Our meal was delicious. The presentation was perfect. No words can express how happy we are with every detail. Thank you for taking care of us. We look forward to our 1 year anniversary at the Clayton.

We didn't originally want to have our wedding in a hotel but with the numbers, we had it would have been tricky to use a restaurant or other venue. Thomas Prior Hall was a great middle way with a lovely, characterful old venue coupled with all the convenience of a hotel. They do everything so you don't have to worry about much at all. We were looked after really well by Thomas Prior Hall- we couldn't fault them. Nicole was our contact point throughout and was fantastic to deal with. Really efficient and steered us ably through all the decisions that had to be made. We particularly appreciated her advice on stuff like timings and decorations- she was very down to earth and we liked also that she never pushed extras on us- we just felt that she was invested in our day and wanted us to have the best possible time. She was very patient also with our last-minute requests and the height of professionalism. The food and wine options were good and the hotel allowed us to choose some off-menu dishes to reflect my husband's Polish roots, which was a nice touch. On the night everything went smoothly and we appreciated how the staff kept in touch with us at each stage of the evening to check everything was ok.

Ok...so where do I start??? We had the most amazing day!! And it could not have been done without the amazing people at Clayton Hotel in Ballsbridge. It all started maybe 8-10months before we were to get married. We chatted with Nicole Berkery who is so lovely to deal with. She was so easy to communicate with and we felt that she really listened to what we had to say. We met for a gorgeous menu tasting and really made the most of it. We got to taste various wines and got to have a look at what the dishes would look like on the day. The chef (Martin, I think his name was (apologies if I got it wrong)) was professional and came to talk to us about the meal plan. The service was also great during our meal tasting. Patryk served us on that night and he was so friendly! When it started coming closer to the day we met with Nicole again and we went through the final arrangements. Again she was so professional and so lovely. On the day, everything went so smoothly. There were no hiccups...well none that I was told about:) All the food came out lovely, got great feedback from all the guests. My display tables looked perfect. The venue was gorgeous! Everybody was so delighted! Nicole and my sister also secretly organised a projector for her speech. I was just so so happy about everything! I really couldn't have asked for a better venue. I would highly recommend this place. Myself and my husband had an amazing time and we wouldn't change a thing!

Just a short note to thank you so much for arranging the wonderful time we had in the Clayton BB last Friday. Everything was great - the room, table decorations, and of course the lovely meal. I have to give a special mention to Patrik and all the staff who were extremely efficient and also very friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with you from our very first meeting, and I told Andrew and Grita how helpful you were in organising everything. Once again, many thanks and we look forward to seeing you and your hotel again sometime soon!

Both Jóhannes and I would like to note that we were very happy with the hotel, the staff and how the wedding event itself was executed. The service was excellent and we are not aware of any guests whose needs were not met. The hotel presented our event and itself to a very high standard, and Jóhannes and I were very happy. From the reception staff to the waiting staff at the event itself, there was a clear customer service ethic being demonstrated. Special mention for making sure the support was there until the end of the night should go to Matthew who was completely on the ball, with small touches as bringing cake to guests in the lobby etc. On a different note, the DJ provided by the hotel was brilliant, and definitely a supplier to recommend. Additionally, we very much appreciate the organisation and attention to detail that Nicole brought to the event planning, and it was certainly in evidence with the smooth running of the event overall.

Thomas Prior Hall was the perfect venue for our winter wedding! We cannot thank Nicole and Mark enough!! They were always there & ready to answer any questions we had, They made every stage of the planning so easy especially as we we planning everything from the UK. They were there on day, from the moment I arrived to late into the evening making sure everything ran to plan! The day went better then we could ever imagine! The room was set up beautifully for both the ceremony and the meal! The food was out of this world and all our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meal! The staff were incredible, nothing was too much trouble for them and everyone was so well looked after for the whole weekend!! This was are perfect venue for many reasons but our day was made so magical and better than anything we could have imagined by the amazing job of all the staff! Thank you all so much again for making our wedding the most incredible experience!" Thank you so much again Nicole, Our day was perfect!

Both Dave and I had the most fantastic day and we really do think that Nicole and the team played a huge part in making our day so special. In terms of specific feedback, I can tell you that we wouldn’t have changed a thing. The care and attention we received from Nicole and the team was second to none. We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue, the food and the professional service provided by all of your colleagues. In particular, please pass on our thanks to Gareth for providing the most delicious meal and also a special mention for Matthieus who oversaw the entire day and was always on hand to ensure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing! I will definitely recommend Thomas Prior as a wedding venue and please feel free to use the above as a testimonial. Thanks again for all your help in planning our wedding day. It was a pleasure dealing with you Nicole.

Really deserve positive feedback. I would like to highlight the "Can do attitude" of the team, no request was a problem. The Management team and Staff handled all requests within their role or coordinated with others. No chasing. We only had to ask once and things were done, making the day and the run up to it a great and stress free experience. Gareth took time during the menu sampling to talk to and listen to us. The lamb went down a treat with foreign and local guests full of complimentary comments. The venue was perfect for the number of guests we had. The seating plan, look and feel of Thomas Prior Hall - a perfect fit. I have and will continue to recommend Nicole and the venue to friends and family.

We had an absolutely fantastic wedding day and everything went to plan. It was amazing - we had so many compliments and great feedback from our guests :-) So I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Hazel for all of her help in planning and coordinating our big day. And a big thank you to all of the team beforehand and on the day itself. It was an absolute pleasure working with them all. I wish I could do it all over again :-)

Thank you so much for all your work and help on our wedding! We did not have the best weather throughout but all went smoothly and we had amazing day and great fun with family and friends. We could certainly not have put everything together without you. Please send our regards to your team as well. If any of your future weddings would like the details of photographer/ band/ florist/ baker etc. we'd be happy to forward them on.

To say we had the most incredible day is an understatement. It blew our expectations out of the water. Nicole and all the staff were absolutely fantastic. Even when a couple of issues arose on the day they were dealt with immediately and with zero stress or fuss. The room looked amazing and the food and service were second to none. Can't recommend Thomas Prior Hall and all of you highly enough!

Fantastic place to have a wedding! We got married in Dublin in October 2015 and my now husband and I had our wedding reception in the Thomas Prior Hall which is attached to The Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge. We cannot compliment this place enough! As we both work we had to do a lot of our organizing over the phone and email. This was absolutely no problem for the staff (in particular Hazel, Barbara and Chris who we prominently dealt with) and they catered to our every need. Thomas Prior Hall is both stunning and elegant and where the drinks reception was held was beautiful with a stunning staircase for photos and extremely comfortable. The staff were very polite, friendly and they could not do enough for us or our guests on the day!. The food was of superb standard and we received nothing but compliments on it on both the day of wedding and since. We had a fantastic day from start to finish. The rooms were lovely and very well kept. We highly recommend this place if your considering having your wedding in Dublin.

The location of Thomas Prior Hall was just perfect for us for starters, but we were just blown away when we saw the hall. It was so grand and beautiful but also intimate. The hall didn’t need lots of decorations and dressing to give it a sense of occasion, the original features of the building gave it lots of character and charm. When we met Barbara the wedding coordinator we were confident this was the venue for us. She really listened to our ideas about the day and encouraged us to add our own personal touches. The food was delicious and the staff were fantastic!

We have heard nothing but excellent things from everyone on the day. Everyone is raving about the food, the steak in particular and the mash! The people on reception, everyone was delighted with their rooms. Especially the 2 groomsmen who got a late check outs were very happy after the night before! Roman- you were brilliant, thanks so much for looking after us all day. You were so patient and accommodating to us, such a friendly face on the day. Thanks for sticking with the video for the best man's speech. We were so happy to be able to hear it in the end. Hope your injury wasn't too bad! You helped make the day run so smoothly. Stephen- thanks for everything that night. Couldn't believe when I saw you around the hotel the next day too! Do you ever sleep! Thanks for everything. You were so friendly and loved the chats! Fergal and the bar staff- what a job yous did! Fergal I've heard so many people talking about you and calling you by your 1st name. You definitely made a few friends for life haha. Thanks for being so good! I know you were kept very busy especially with the amount of shots ordered. You must have been worn out, you were great! Adam- thanks so much for setting up the room. It was great that all of our college friends could sit together in the end. Thanks to everyone who helped put the centre pieces together. You will probably be finding glitter everywhere for a few days And now finally...Nicole...where do we start. You have been absolutely excellent since the day we met you. Nothing was ever too much to ask. You did such a great job on our wedding. It made everything so easy and stressfree. When we pulled up and saw everyone out enjoying the music, food and drinks on the day we were just so happy with our decision to go with Thomas Prior Hall. You are great at your job and I hope other couples who you are looking after know how lucky they are!! All in all every single staff member we met was excellent.

We had our wedding reception on 4th June 2016 in Thomas Prior Hall, and we had an absolutely brilliant day from start to finish. We've lost count of the number of people who have said to us that it was the best wedding they have been to! :-) Everything in the Hall and the hotel was perfect, and the service for dinner and throughout the evening was excellent. Sarah, the co-ordinator, was great helping us organise and finalise all of the details prior to the day. William and Chris - the managers on duty, and all of the waiting staff were both very attentive and helpful throughout the day and the next morning. The food was delicious and I can say that the quality of it didn't change between the tasting we did (thanks to Victor who looked after us so well on that night) and the meal on the wedding day itself - chef Igor did a fantastic job, along with all of his kitchen staff. Thomas Prior Hall looked amazing, and thankfully, the weather allowed a glorious drinks reception on the grass in front of it. The staff were so helpful and accommodating, the hotel room was perfect with the fruit and prosecco on arrival, and the DJ Graham, was really friendly and played some great tunes. A genuinely perfect day all round :) Thanks to all the staff involved for your time and effort bringing it all together. And we are already looking forward to our stay there on our first anniversary! :-)

If anyone is looking for a venue, I would highly recomend the Thomas Prior Hall. We had a fantastic day and couldn't have asked for a better venue. I got married there in July and all the feedback from our guests was positive. The meal was superb and the service was excellent. The conference & events manager Barbara was lovely, you could find no wrong with them. We also had Greg Murphy from Pro DJ's who played all night and there was always a croud on the dance floor he was brilliant.

Thomas Prior Hall is such a wonderful venue. It is so beautiful and has such a great vintage feel! The staff are so friendly and so helpful, and you will not believe the quality of the food! Everyone who came said they had a wonderful time, and if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing! The DJ they use is amazing also. The whole building has so much history and such a good vibe. It really is a great venue.
