We can’t speak highly enough of Mary, our wedding coordinator, as well as Hilla and the rest of the team, who were so responsive throughout our planning and answered all questions we had so promptly. Ballyseede Castle is the perfect size venue for a wedding and we felt like we had the castle to ourselves. The bridal suite was absolutely stunning and the bridal party had plenty of space to get ready on the morning of the wedding. The Belfry is the perfect ceremony venue and is gorgeous when decorated for weddings! Initially we were hoping for an outdoor ceremony, however once we saw The Belfry, we knew this was the place for us and we never looked back! The food at Ballyseede is outstanding! Our guests were so complimentary about the food, as well as the service itself - we absolutely could not fault either! The staff were so fantastic from start to finish. Thank you to the whole team for making our day so special!

I think it was obvious from my happy tears at check out that I had the best day of my life on my wedding day. Every single guest is talking about how stunning the venue was, how amazing the Belfry is, how helpful the staff were and how delicious the food was. I do not have the words to thank you all for what was honestly the most perfect day. You took my vision and made it ten times better. It exceeded all of my expectations. From my meetings with Mary, countless emails being replied to so effectively, to Marnie teaching me how to walk down the aisle & making my entrance so dramatic that I got clapped up the aisle, the beautiful photos that Esther took of the boys at the bar- every single member of staff went above and beyond so please tell them thank you from us!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We got married in Ballyseede Castle in May, and all of our family and friends absolutely loved it. The venue was amazing and ticked all the boxes we were looking for in a wedding location. We planned our wedding from abroad, and the team were always responsive, helpful, and were able to accommodate any requests that we had. We cannot speak highly enough of the team at Ballyseede castle. From the lovely Irish welcome you receive at the door both by the animals and the fantastic team, to the brilliant Esther making sure we had enough to eat and drink at all times. The food was outstanding and so many of our guests have commented on how good it was. We were lucky enough to be one of the first few weddings in the new onsite chapel - The Belfry, with its modern look but with the aesthetics to fit in with the old castle feel. We cannot wait to come back and visit again soon.

Ballyseede Castle is the most magical wedding venue. The service, professionalism, attention to detail, support in planning, rooms, ballroom - everything was wonderful. The day itself was a fairytale. We had our ceremony in the castle which was so intimate and romantic. All of our guests commented on how amazing the service, decor, drinks reception and food was. The staff were always at hand making sure the guests had plenty of everything. We were blessed on the day with the weather and the photos that were captured are phenomenal. We didn’t even leave the castle on the day to get other photos because there are so many hidden gems around the castle for photo opportunities. Thank you Ballyseede for making sure we had the wedding of our dreams. We will never ever forget our wedding day and cherish these memories forever.

We had our wedding in Ballyseede Castle Hotel on the weekend before Christmas and we had a truly fantastic day. The decorations in the Castle were lovely and all of our guests were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Nothing was too much to ask of Marnie, Rory, Mary, Hilla, Doreen or Esther. They and the rest of the team kept the day relaxed and everything went so smoothly. The food was delicious and all of our guests commented on this. The venue itself has a great flow that made each transition effortless, including the set up for the band and the location of the dance floor near to the terrace. The crowd was together throughout the night which made for a fantastic atmosphere. Thank you to Ballyseede for making our wedding day such an enjoyable and memorable occassion.

Ballyseede Castle is a wonderful wedding venue. The staff go above and beyond for even the smallest of details. The setting and rooms are utterly magnificent. We had a bridesmaid get a small tear in her dress on the day and they even had someone there to sew it up straight away! All of our guests have not stopped commenting on how incredible Ballyseede Castle was. They made our day utterly spectacular!

Mary, the wedding coordinator, was always on hand to answer a call or email and without hesitation answered every question we had and even gave us some beautiful ideas for our special day. We felt so relaxed and at home all day and the whole team at Ballyseede Castle looked after us as if we were family.
Niamh & Simon (November 2023)
Ballyseede Castle was out of this world! The food, the venue and the atmosphere were everything we wanted on the day. We planned our wedding from Australia, so communication was really important to us. Our two wedding coordinators - Mary and Hilla are the most accommodating, patient, kind people we have ever met. They went above and beyond throughout planning and on the day itself. We never waited too long for a reply to our emails. Thanks so much to the team at Ballyseede Castle for making our day the best ever!
