Ballykealey House

We cannot thank the staff at Ballykealey House enough for all they did for us for our wedding. They were absolutely amazing to work with, especially Angela. From the minute we set foot in Ballykealey we knew we wanted to get married here. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food was five star restaurant quality and the staff could not be nicer or more helpful. We had the most amazing time and truly could not fault anything.

I can?t recommend Ballykealey enough. Everything from the food, service, decor was just amazing. The staff were so attentive and were so helpful throughout the whole experience. We stayed the night before the wedding and had a meal with family and friends, the food was amazing and it was so lovely to have the house to ourselves. The wedding day went off without an issue. We got married in the barn and it was beautiful. Our guests were really impressed with the food. We got married in November and the house was decorated with huge Christmas trees it was just stunning. As I said I can?t recommend Ballykealey enough.

From the moment we went to Ballykealey for a viewing we fell in love with the venue. The communication all the way up to our wedding was always prompt and helpful. On the day, everything went perfectly. All our guests were in awe of the venue, amazing food and the friendly, attentive staff. They really go above and beyond to make your special day one you?ll never forget.

They waited on us hand and foot.
The grounds are lovely, the food was fabulous and plenty of accommodation.

From the minute we stepped foot inside Ballykealey House, we knew this was the one for us! Angela the wedding coordinator was outstanding and really easy to deal with. Angela and her team were very quick to respond to any emails or queries that we had from the day we originally booked in 2021 to our wedding day in June 2023. On the day itself, everything was a breeze! Unfortunately after weeks of sun, the weather changed that particular morning and we had some rain. Therefore our arrival drinks were inside the bar area, rather than the beautiful gardens. But again, no issues. There was a break in the rain and we managed to get outside to use the beautiful gardens for our photos.

Overall, food was fantastic. Service was fantastic. All of my guests thoroughly enjoyed the venue. One of my friends who got married 5 years ago, could not believe how amazing Ballykealey was and said she would 100% go there if she was getting married again and would be recommending it to everyone she knows now, as will we!

We also had Day 2 down in the Barn and it was everything and more. The rain kept away and we were even pulling out the suncream. We chose the BBQ option and it was perfect!

I can't say enough great things about Ballykealey. It was just the most magical day. Thank you! x

Absolutely fantastic staff who couldn't do enough for us on the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself. All very helpful. The venue itself was super with so many options for the ceremony and food was out of this world. All the guests still comment on how good it was.

Ballykealey was the perfect venue for us form the moment we walked through the door for our first viewing. Although there are so many selling points for this beautiful venue, the staff were exceptional and went above and beyond at every turn especially Angela and Alison who worked closely with us in the day. The food was amazing, the grounds were magnificent for photographs and the accommodation was ideal and reasonably priced. We had the most amazing day and would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

We could not have wished for a better venue for our wedding day in October 2022. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond for our guests. Everyone was so friendly and couldn't be any more helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and all the guests were raving about it! The setting alone is so picturesque and a perfect location for the most amazing photos. Everything was so well organised and ran like clockwork thanks to Angela and the team. They really do put the needs of the guests at the forefront of what they offer as a wedding venue. Last minute changes were facilated without any hassle and they took the stress away from us. We couldn't recommend Ballykealey house more and a huge thanks to everyone who made our day so special!

Excellent Staff. Exceptional Service. Perfect Venue. Made our dreams come through.
From the moment we booked our wedding up to the day of and the next day we received the very best service and support all round.
On a side note the nerves got to me (Bride) pretty bad by the time we sat down for the meal. I was sick and had to step out for a while. The entire staff were so supportive. They made sure our guests were well looked after. When I returned they went above and beyond to make sure I got to enjoy my meal and the rest of the night. Which was SPECTACULAR.

We could not be happier about our choice of venue for our wedding on the 15th of July 2022. Ballykealey house has so much to offer. There are so many places to have your ceremony and reception in the grounds of Ballykealey house. There is the most beautiful Manor House, the rustic stone barn and a variety of beautiful settings outside such as the fountain, the clearing in the woods and front lawn. It has so much to offer whatever your style. We decided to make the most of the whole venue and had our ceremony in the barn, drinks reception by the fountain, main reception in Manor House and photos throughout the gardens. Our photos are so beautiful with natural backdrops amongst the trees, flowers, garden lights and stone walls and the elegant rooms. The team in Ballykealey were amazing from start to finish. On the day they were exceptional. We were so relaxed as they were confident and in control and also just so friendly and nice people. The ballroom had been renovated between the time of booking and our wedding and was just beautiful.
Our guests were very happy also. Ballykealey house has been a hidden gem. A lot of our guests had never heard of it or been there and were very impressed. The food was exceptional. The rooms and lodges are gorgeous. We were blessed with the weather also. We had one day at Ballykealey and it was the best day. We would highly recommend it to others. Thank you to Angela, Alison and all team. It exceeded all our expectations. We wish you all the best for the future and are excited to return again!!

Ballykealey went above and beyond to help make the day of our dreams come true. Thank you x

Amazing venue with a great team. Food was gorgeous, we had the best weekend at ballykealey for our wedding! Couldn't recommend them more

"Having looked around at other venues we knew quite quickly that Ballykealey was the perfect fit for us. We were their first wedding since reopening under new management and from the very beginning we were met with professionalism, enthusiasm and a genuine interest in making sure our big day was as we wanted it to be. Angela, the Wedding and Events Manager was super easy to deal with and her wealth of experience really shone through.

Our wedding day went even better than we could have ever imagined! Being able to put our trust in Angela and her team meant that we could relax and enjoy the time with our guests knowing everything was being taken care of. The fantastic staff, the amazing food, the stunning grounds and ballroom, all made our wedding so special for both of us and our guests. We can't thank Balleykealey management and staff enough for making the day everything we wanted it to be and more!" John and Claire
