If you want your venue to speak for itself, Bellingham is for you. It is set in beautifully maintained grounds and is an unforgettable venue - so there is no need for an extra decoration or fuss. The service from the moment you set into Bellingham, right through and after your special day, is top notch. They really treat you like you are the only wedding they are looking after as they give you so much attention. I remembered they called me in the lead up to the wedding, asking me if I had any questions, I did, I just was struggling to get the time to call them and every question I asked, they knew the answer of the top of their heads. They are really incredible. The food is exquisite and they offer great choices. Another thing about the venue is the number of rooms that you can escape to - the kitchen/pantry is one of my favourite rooms. They serve tea/ coffee and scones in here and it has a lovely homely feel about it. On the day itself, it was like they could read your mind, better than your partner! They were so helpful. I really can't rate them higher - I just hope that someday one of my friends will get married here so I can experience it all again!

Myself and Sean would like to say a massive thank you to you all. We had the most amazing day on our wedding day, and I actually find it hard to put into words how grateful we are to you all for making our day so, so magical. Everything about Bellingham is flawless! The service, food and attention to detail is just outstanding. I honestly don't think you would get it anywhere else! We couldn't be happier that we choose you as our wedding venue and really appreciate everything you done for us both. Everyone is raving about the wedding. Our only disappointment is that its all over and we cannot do it all again! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

I'm not sure how we can even begin to thank you all for what was the best and most memorable day of our lives. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail from the Bellingham team was incomparable to any other wedding venue we have ever been to (and we've been to more than a few!!) Thanks for everything, we are looking forward to visiting the castle again!

Thank you to all the Bellingham team for making our wedding day, the most special day of our lives. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you all when planning our wedding day. We feel so honoured to have been able to have our wedding reception in the beautiful Bellingham Castle, everything was perfect - the food, the surroundings and the service, we are so grateful. To you all, we had the most amazing day.

We had our wedding at Bellingham Castle in County Louth. We chose it because it is so romantic and unique. It really is what dreams are made of. We had also heard so many amazing reports about weddings at Bellingham Castle and it definitely lived up to our high expectations. Their attention to detail and their willingness to accommodate our every wish made our wedding day experience at Bellingham unforgettable. Ciara and Patrick are amazing at what they do! Our guests are still commenting on the whole experience and how special they were made to feel on our wedding day

Bellingham Castle is a dream venue, the setting, the staff, the food, the service. Everything is absolutely perfect. Ciara and all of the staff could not do more, all of our guests raved about every aspect of the venue, particularly the food and service. Ciara is the best in the business, couldn't recommend Bellingham any higher, we loved every minute of our day.

My husband and I got married in Bellingham Castle on December 22nd, 2016. Since we both live in San Francisco, we were at first a little worried about planning a wedding remotely, but thankfully we had literally nothing to worry about, all thanks to Ciara! From our very first visit to the Castle, we knew this was the venue for us. To be honest, the surroundings, quirks and hidden treasures of Bellingham are truly phenomenal, but what really tipped it for us was Ciara. She is just so genuine, kind and a true professional. We were most impressed with her efficiency, attention to detail, fabulous advice & recommendations and honesty -- no question, request or change was too much for her and we always had great banter in person, on the phone or across email. Everyone remarked on the beauty of the castle and the high caliber of each and every single friendly, welcoming employee. The service was first class, the food served at each part of our day was simply delicious, and in terms of presentation, it all really did look too good to eat! All of our friends and family commented how it was the best venue they had ever been to - the castle, the food, the staff, the rooms, the nooks and crannies (especially the buttery kitchen!), the grounds, the fabulous Irish wolf hounds, the peacocks...all absolutely wonderful. I could go on and on! Thank you to Ciara, Patrick and everyone at Bellingham Castle for the best experience & day of our lives!!!

We had our wedding reception at Bellingham Castle in April 2018. It is hands down the best wedding venue in the country. We have been to over 20 weddings in the last 3 years in all the popular venues in meath, dublin, kildare and other counties. And Bellingham beats them all on every count. The food was simply delicious with very generous portions of canapés and dinner courses. Initially we worried about no tasting but when we asked around we were reassured by friends who had attended weddings there in the past that the food was great. And they were right! The setting and building itself is beautiful. With plenty of indoor and outdoor space no matter the weather. Lots of places for wedding photos. Theres plenty of accomodation options nearby and the night porter was very attentive making sure all our guests made it home to where they needed to go. Really what makes it all is the service. Any queries in the lead up to the wedding are answered promptly. And there is time allocated for meetings sooner to the date. On the day staff seemed to anticipate things whenever I needed them. I dont know how they did it! Every one was efficient, professional but also down to earth, friendly and welcoming. It created a wonderful atmosphere for the day. I can't praise them highly enough. Also nearly every guest I spoke to raved about the food and service, which is a marker how wonderful they are. And I'd love to go back again a wedding guest!

Clara, Jack and Patrick were the team which helped organise the day and made sure it went without a hitch. Each and every staff member played their part on the day, and literally nothing was a problem. Their professionalism shone through during a slight medical issue. We could not have asked for a better venue. I think every guest has come back to me saying how great the venue, staff and food all were. Hooking up a laptop to ensure the guests seen Leinster play in the semi final of European rugby wasn't even a problem. Honestly couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

We got married in Bellingham Castle in August 2018 and we couldn’t have been happier with our day. The setting, the food and the castle itself are all out of this world but for us the thing that sets Bellingham Castle apart is the service, both on the day and in the lead up, which is second to none. Jack and the rest of the team were all so accommodating and great to deal with and no request was too big or small. Thank you so much for making our day so special.

Bellingham Castle from day one outdid themselves! From the very beginning the staff were outstanding and instilled in me confidence and belief through their professionalism. Hand on heart I can say that there is truly no other wedding venue like them. Absolutely every one of the guests raved about the venue, the food, the staff, the service. The list was endless! Each and every one of the guests were treated like royalty. Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Bellingham - Ciara, Jack, John et al. You made planning a wedding from Canada a breeze - thank you for answering all of my emails no matter what time of day or night it was! You are all exceptional and kudos to having top class staff. There was nothing we wanted or needed on the day. Honestly, if I or any of my bridal party even looked like we needed something you or your staff were right there beside us! The attention to detail and the care on the day and the day after was out of this world! We actually can't thank you enough - from the bottom of our heart though, thank you.

Ciara, Patrick, John and everyone in the Castle, thank you for the best weekend! Richie and I had a ball and are so glad we had our wedding with you. Our guests are raving about how amazing the Castle was, how outstanding the food and service was and what a totally brilliant time they had. We are so grateful for all your help in making things run smoothly!

My husband and I got married in Bellingham on 20.08.18! The venue is stunning, We felt like an absolute queen and king, the service given was unbelievable and I couldn’t recommend them enough to any newly engaged couples looking for the perfect venue! Ciara, Patrick and all staff members were amazing from start to finish. All guests at the wedding haven’t stopped talking about the venue, the service and the food! Wish I could relive that day all over again! Thanks again Bellingham Castle ❤️

Bellingham Castle in our opinion is second to none as a wedding venue. Our entire wedding experience was so special thanks to the wonderful team at Bellingham. The grounds of the castle are immaculate with beautiful gardens and so many unique photo ops. The castle itself boasts beautiful decor, so elegant yet homely. From the moment we arrived for our wedding reception, we did not have to think of one detail. Ciara, Patrick and the team at Bellingham took care of everything! Keeping all our guests entertained and content. The food was the best food we ever had! We had quite a few guests with dietary requirements who were blown away that their needs were taken care of without having to request a particular dish. The waiting staff in the dining room were incredibly attentive to each and every table. Excellent bar staff, and particularly the night staff were so helpful and again knew exactly what was happening throughout our day. Every member of staff are incredible! We had the most memorable day in the most spectacular venue!! Loved everything about Bellingham Castle!

Where do we start? From the minute we stepped foot in Bellingham Castle on our first visit as a newly-engaged couple two years ago, to the day of our wedding, we were in love with the castle. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and we just knew that this was the place we wanted more than anything to host our wedding. Nothing was too big or too small of an ask of the staff in the run-up to the day; John, Ciara & Jack outdid themselves. They were so attentive to both ourselves and our guests on the day. Honestly, people always say it is the best day of their lives but this truly was and the staff and venue certainly helped that. Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they had been to which again, was helped by the staff. We would only love to do it all again in a heartbeat. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us and we would highly recommend you to friends and family for future events. Thank you, Jennifer & David Clegg

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Bellingham castle. Ciara, Patrick and John will guide you along every step of the way and the other members of staff. Nothing was a problem to them. They respond to emails at lightening speed and have great suggestions. As a bride, you want to have assurance that you picked the right venue. I had heard nothing but positivity about the venue before I booked and now for me, I couldn’t fault it. I felt like Royalty on the day in all the surroundings and the unreal service. The place itself is stunning; each room is tastefully decorated with antiques but in a fresh modern way not a cobweb or dusty relic in sight. They had umbrellas at the ready for my awaiting guests. The canapes for the drinks reception were so appetising plenty of choice for everyone. Two waiters even came down to us at the river with tons of canapés while we were getting our photos. There's plenty of photo ops here, with one particularly iconic one by the River with the castle in the background. For the meal itself, the staff are so well trained and the food was incredible-plenty for everyone. Feedback from the guests they thought the food and staff were unbelievable, they loved having the little kitchen in the castle to grab coffee/snack and just have a chat, they commented that the alcohol prices were very good and loved the two Irish wolfhounds that are gentle giants. The next day, breakfast was delicious again. They serve tea and coffee in the drawing rooms before you leave which is a nice touch. My advice is go and see this place - you’ll be blown away!

Darren and I cannot express enough how grateful we are to you all for making our day one we will never forget. From Patrick showing us round the venue two years ago, to the day itself, we have never felt so welcomed and looked after. Ciara, you are an absolute hero. From crawling behind me on the floor passing up flowers, to looking after each and every one of our guests - they have all mentioned how amazing you are. You knew what we wanted before we even did. Jack and the entire Bellingham team are an absolute credit to the business, so warm, friendly and attentive. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was first class. Bellingham Castle is without doubt the best venue in Ireland and we wish we could do it all over again. Every minor detail did not go unnoticed - just superb! Thank you so much, Aisling & Darren White

To all the staff at Bellingham Castle, It is difficult to summarise how incredible all of you were this weekend...but I'll try! The stand-out points that set you above any other venue are: 1. The fact that you seated a surprise guest from Boston 2. My hot water bottle at the top table 3. The guests all commented on the quality of the food and the service, including pulling out chairs, temperature control and considering people with dietary requirements. 4. The friendly welcoming staff of all ages, this was particularly noticeable! 5. One guest stated the service was Michelin-esque 6. The late check-out 7. The tea and cake and take away cups on Sunday 8. The Prosecco toast 9. The Christmas decorations! I can't believe these were put up! The castle looked incredible! Thank you very very much for this. I think it added to the fun. 10. The surprise canapés that arrived down to the water during photographs. 11. The chips for the top table 12. That nothing was too much 13. That alcohol and food was flowing Thank you for making our wedding day so so memorable. Ciara and Jack, you were both incredibly helpful throughout the preparations. Finally, we wish all the staff the best over the coming year and look forward to one day returning. Many thanks from a very happy bride and groom! Maeve and Daragh

Dear Patrick, Ciara, John and Jack, Niels and I just wanted to send you all an email to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything that you did for us, not only last Thursday but over the entire wedding planning period. Planning a wedding from abroad was not the handiest at times, but you really went out of your way to help us and to make things easier for us at every turn. We just had the best day of our lives last Thursday and the main foundation for that was Bellingham Castle and all of you. Everyone we speak to is just singing the praises of the staff who went above and beyond for everybody. The castle is stunning but it is the service and the staff that make a wedding at Bellingham so unforgettable. Everyone was treated like royalty for the day and we are having a hard time adjusting to normal life again. Thank you all so much, choosing Bellingham Castle was one of the easiest and the best decisions we made. We are now living in hope that we are able to attend a Bellingham wedding as guests some day in the future and are able to enjoy a wedding from the guests perspective! Thank you all again and we will keep in touch! Niels and Emma Elshof
