Wedding Venues Douglas

I had my wedding in the Maryborough June 2010 and what an amazing day it was .The hotel itself has a mix of the old vintage feel with a modern updated twist . As it was summer and fabulous weather so we had a marquee out in the gardens with the champangne reception , guests were in awe of this beautiful 5 star extravanganza , staff were so nice and accommodating with several requests . The dinner was absolutley ravishing , all the guests were talking how nice the food was especially for a big wedding of 195 . The room itself was stunning with no extra flowers or costs needed . The staff from when we booked the wedding until it was over could not have been more helpful & friendly . The only regret I have is that I never organised a post wedding barbuque for the Sunday , but still all friends and family chilled out in beautiful gardens for the afternoon having a few glasses of wine reminiscing about the days events . All in all I would highly recommend the Maryborough to anyone who wants a beautiful , elegant and quality day . It is well worth it !!! Xxxxx

Sinead Gillen, the hotel's Wedding Co-ordinator is lovely and the reason we booked the Carrigaline Court. When we were booking, we felt she was a genuine person who would do her utmost to look after us and after we had signed on the dotted line, she followed through with everything she said had promised us. Nothing was impossible. From the moment we arrived on our wedding day, our every need was catered for. Everything was thought of and we were very well looked after. The bar, waiting and reception staff were very friendly and efficient. We thought the engraved champagne glasses were a lovely touch. There was a great atmosphere in the Bistro when we arrived and that buzz carried on into the meal. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent; every course was lovely but the beef was a real winner with everyone. The monkfish was fantastic also. The kitchen staff obviously took great time and effort to get this right and I can only commend and praise them for it. The silver service for the main course was a really nice touch and made it really special for everyone. Barry and his team were fantastic to watch and be served by. From the moment we first made contact with Sinead to our final chat with Barry and Eilis just after check out, all I can say is that our wedding day was handled with the utmost professionalism. It really felt like 5 star service. It made our wedding day fun, relaxing and extremely enjoyable; one where we can confidently look back on it knowing that everyone thoroughly enjoyed our day. I hope they enjoyed dealing with us as much as we did with them.

I am from Louisiana and I decided to have my wedding at St. Finbar's Oratory in Gougane Barra, Ireland. We had our wedding reception at the Castle Hotel and it better than I could have ever imagined. Now most would expect planning a wedding in a another country would be difficult, but the Castle Hotel made it a breeze. Vicki Wray of the Castle Hotel truly did go above and beyond as well as the rest of the staff and made our wedding experience a night we will never forget. Words cannot express how grateful and pleased I am that I chose to have my wedding at the Castle Hotel. The food was amazing and there was endless amounts of it as well as the liquor! The reception set up was gorgeous and we even had use of the pub in the hotel where we had a band play for our wedding. The bridal suite is hands down beautiful and completely romantic, my photographer even did bridal photos in the room because it was so lovely. Vicki Wray was so helpful she was there every step of the way and had recommendations for everything we may require. I wish I could say more but you really need to experience the magic yourself and fall in love with the experience.

We chose Fleming's as the venue for our wedding reception in December 2012. I just can't imagine how any other venue could compare to Fleming's with respect to service, food and attention to detail. Michael was involved with planning our reception from day one and we really appreciated his input... He has years of experience and guided us through the whole occasion. Every second of our day was amazing as we knew we were in great hands! People still refer to "the best food they've ever tasted" and we are very proud to say that we chose Fleming's to celebrate our wonderful day. Thanks again Michael and Eileen! Ciara and Joe

Looking back on our wedding at Blackrock Castle, I just smile. The staff of the observatory and restaurant were very pleasant and helpful. We were married in a small civil ceremony in the small, but elegant and charming, fireplace lobby. The staff (we worked with Deirdre) made sure the decorations and the set up in the room were perfect. Deirdre even allowed us to borrow a candle stand! I remember walking down the red carpet, having just arrived, and into the room, and being wowed by the beauty of the room dressed up with flowers, candles and drapery. After the ceremony, while we were taking photos around the castle (just beautiful!), the staff moved our flowers and candles to the restaurant. We hadn't a thing to worry about except smiling and having a good time. And then, while we were milling around having some drinks, waiting for dinner to be served, Deirdre graciously offered to take ourselves and our guests on a tour of the castle. We climbed down to the dungeon and up to the telescope. This unexpected gesture really added to our day. Blackrock Castle is such a beautiful setting for a wedding. I highly recommend the location and the staff. My husband and I were very happy with our experience, and remember the day fondly, all the more so because of the care of the staff and the beauty of the Blackrock Castle venue.

I love this venue. The food is really good and the service is excellent. All the staff are so helpful. It has the classic country house charm but with modern facilities. The ballroom is really tastefully decorated with loads of space. I would advise any bride looking for an elegant and classical venue to check it out.
