Bellinter House

We had an amazing day at Bellinter. The food was outstanding served quickly and hot. The function roo was perfect for a wedding of 120-130 people. Guests could open doors and go outside for fresh air after meal. The staff are outstanding they could not do more to help. Jacqueline especially was so professional and responsive. The bar and floor staff on the day were excellent. I could not fault the service. Would highly recommend.

From the moment we booked bellinter house that staff were absolutely amazing in accommodating any requests questions or enquiries we had! Especially Jaqueline she is the most amazing co ordinator she made the day seamless I had no doubt in my mind when if came to everything being perfect she’s absolutely amazing at what she does & the staff on the day couldn’t do enough for us or our guests. Our guests are still talking about it saying that it was the best wedding they were ever at I highly recommend Bellinter to anyone for a wedding or even just an over night get away 5 stars all round!! ❤️ Níamh & Scott 22/05/2025

We can't recommend all the team at Bellinter House enough. We got engaged in the grounds of the house and from the moment we first met with Derek and the team they couldn't do enough for us. Due to some very sad circumstances we had to postpone our wedding and the team couldn't have been more helpful. On the day everything was absolutely perfect from the food to the wine and everything in between. Our guests are still talking about the day and the staff's attention to detail.

We can't recommend the venue enough and would highly recommend choosing the exclusive option as it meant our wedding was intimate and we had the whole place to ourselves on the day of the wedding.

Would highly recommend Bellinter house for a wedding.
Thankyou very much to all the team at Bellinter House for everything and for making our wedding so special and stress free! Pleasure to deal with from day 1.

Everything was perfect and beautiful, cannot fault a thing. We had a ball and so did all of our guests! Everyone has said how amazing the staff and food was! The perfect venue for a wedding, absolutely stunning!

Overall our experience with Bellinter House was warmth, flexibility and a professionalism that meant we could relax and enjoy our day whilst they handled everything.

A special mention for Tina and Derek who looked after us so well and made us feel so welcome and relaxed when we set up the day beforehand.

The staff onsite for our wedding day were friendly and kind and great with children. We got married at the end of August and not only is the venue itself stunning, but the grounds provided a great space for our guests to stretch out and explore. The fairy-lit tree was a magical highlight for many of our guests.

The food was also delicious and they were very flexible with dietary needs. The groom was dairy-free and the food was just as delicious for him.

From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, we knew we were in good hands with the staff at Bellinter House. The team was incredibly supportive, attentive to every detail, and truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Their professionalism and warmth made the entire process stress-free, and their expertise helped us feel confident every step of the way.

On the day of our wedding, the venue looked absolutely stunning—everything was set up perfectly. The staff were on top of everything, ensuring that the day flowed smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful location, gorgeous food and seamless coordination.

We can’t thank Derek, Amanda and Millie enough for making our day unforgettable. Amanda and Millie were so incredibly patient with all my emails! They answered every question so promptly and with such reassurance, we never felt in any doubt that they would take care of everything. Derek was just incredible, he works so so hard to make the day run so smoothly and has such a calm presence about him that he puts you at ease straight away. If we were to do it again (we'd absolutely love to!) we'd choose Bellinter House again and again!
If you’re looking for a venue with top-notch service, breathtaking spaces, and a team that genuinely cares about your vision, look no further. Highly recommended!

Bellinter was the first venue that we viewed and we knew straight away that we wanted to hold our wedding there. We had both the ceremony and reception in Bellinter. It is a gorgeous venue. The staff are extremely helpful and nothing was a problem. The food is also gorgeous. Overall, we would highly recommend it!

We had the Best Day for Our Wedding at Bellinter House. The Team were Brilliant and looked after everything so well. Great Food, Service and On the Day Everything went smoothly. We had nothing to worry about upon the Day as the staff took care of everything. We fell in love with Bellinter and Married outside under the Beautiful Willow Tree in front of the Hotel. Its a Truly Unique Hotel and you Immediately get a sense of that the Moment you walk in.
Thank you Bellinter and all the Team
Mr & Mrs Rooney 🤍

Where to start.. We got married in Bellinter House recently and from start to finish, the planning and execution was seamless. All of the staff were so helpful and couldn't be nicer, from all of the wedding events dept Amanda, Derek, Darren, Moya, Precious and the bar/restaurant staff. Weddings can be stressful, they were there at every step of the way reassuring us, guiding us in the right direction. The team were just so calming and not at all pushy or demanding. All of the staff went above and beyond and couldn't have been more helpful.
We had people tell us it was the best wedding they were ever attended, and that's in large part down to the staff. The venue is amazing with all the quirky decor. It is perfect for photographs and has some beautiful rooms. If you are planning on getting married here, don't think twice, you won't be disappointed.

We got married here in February and had the best day. The food was class, the staff were so attentive and the attention to deal was second to none. We stayed in the hotel for 4 days and felt like royalty! Highly recommend this venue

Bellinter House is a tragic case. It has plenty to offer: a historic house in beautiful surroundings; good value for money; some excellent staff, particularly Judith, Amanda, and Darren, who looked after us well during our wedding. However, the hotel is in need of new management.
Poor communication between staff and a lack of leadership led to a serious invasion of our privacy on the morning after our wedding. A cleaner entered our room unsupervised and threw our dried wedding flowers?which we absolutely intended to keep?in the trash. Two bouquets were damaged. Not the best way to send off the newlyweds.

The above occurred while we were making one of several trips out to our car with our luggage and wedding gifts. Understandably, we had a lot to transport post wedding. Reception staff were fully aware that we were still emptying our room of our personal belongings, watching us go up and down the stairs, and even telling us to take our time. (This incident occurred at approx. 12:06 p.m., just six minutes after checkout time.)

A cleaner should not have been allowed to enter our room unsupervised before we had a chance to check out. Our belongings were still in the room and we were still in possession of our key. Furthermore, the cleaner should have realised his mistake upon entering the room and seeing our belongings. Amazingly, even after I walked in on him and discovered the flowers in the trash, I still had to ask him to leave. No apology was made.

Reception staff were made aware of the situation but failed to resolve it. The General manager was not present on the day in question. When we finally spoke on the phone (after three attempts on our part to get in touch with them), their response was empty apologies and bizarre excuses. Although the cleaner behaved inappropriately, it's the management that is to blame. When we put it to the General manager that giving cleaners carte blanche to enter rooms once the clock strikes 12 is a flawed policy that could allow for even more serious altercations between staff and guests, they insisted that every hotel in the world operates the same way. We beg to differ.

Obviously this unresolved incident tainted an otherwise great experience and unfortunately precludes us from recommending Bellinter House as a wedding venue or a hotel. We intend to focus on the positive memories and look forward to returning?when the hotel is under new management.

Everyone had the best time at our wedding. Bellinter House is beautiful and all of the staff were just wonderful!

We got married in Bellinter in August 2023. We had originally attended a wedding there and loved the day but especially the food. As we both really appreciate good food we didn't think twice about considering it for our own wedding venue as sometimes food can be hit or miss with venues. The grounds and house were also lovely with many gorgeous locations for photo opportunities.

Sometimes communication wasn't great in the lead up to August but I will say that from the week before, Derek really made sure to cater to our needs and requests. We really credit him for helping to make the day run seamlessly, especially how he handled minor/ unavoidable hiccups on the day. The staff who worked in the bar and at breakfast were equally very accommodating and truly lovely. Michael was also a big hit with our guests and we heard so many of our guests compliment him and how he had great craic with the guests and was on the ball at all times.
Unfortunately, some decorations/ small items were misplaced following our wedding day but for the most part the hotel did a good job at having all of our items tided and ready to be taken away.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Bellinter House this past August. We could not recommend Bellinter more as a venue. From the very start of the planning process up until the big day everyone on the events team staff was so helpful, quick to respond, and happy to help us with whatever was needed. On the big day Derek, Precious, and the rest of the team really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We got so many compliments from quests on how attentive and friendly all the Bellinter staff were which really just made everyones day so much more enjoyable. Again highly highly recommend Bellinter as your wedding venue if you are considering it.

We had the best day of our lives in no small part due to how easy the staff at Bellinter house made it. Not only were the events team fantastic in their swift responses to queries in the build up but also on the day itself Derek was always three steps ahead of us. A special mention also needed for how helpful, flexible and sensitive the accomodations manager was in helping us to book rooms for my husband's family traveling from abroad.
The food on the day was to die for and our guests loved it.
Aside from how great the staff were, the venue itself is so breathtaking and gives a real wow factor to a wedding.

The entire team at Bellinter House made our wedding day exactly as we had hoped. It's is a warm and welcoming place and every member of staff makes you feel special. The team listened to all our requests and did everything to accommodate various requests. I would definitely recommend that anyone has their wedding in this unique, intimate and private venue.

Amazing Venue for our Wedding Day.

We could not fault Bellinter. It is the absolute dream, perfect wedding venue. Not one aspect of our wedding was treated without the utmost care, attention to detail, consideration and professionalism. I trusted them with every single thing and it made for the most perfect wedding day. They are so on top of everything, there is nothing they don't think of. From the very first minute we booked until the day after our wedding when we (very sadly!) left our venue, everything was just absolutely perfect. Beyond our wildest dreams. I wouldn't think twice about recommending this venue to literally anyone getting married. Bellinter House and its? staff make all of your dreams come true.

To Amanda, Niamh, Amanda H, Tina and all the staff at Bellinter House.
Where do I even begin....from the very first meeting we knew that Bellinter House was where we wanted to get married!

The venue, the staff, the food.....everything was perfect! The day ran so smoothly and our guests had the best time! We have stayed at Bellinter many times and have always found the atmosphere to be incredibly welcoming! The staff go above and beyond and were so kind to us throughout the lead up to the wedding!

We can't thank you enough and are looking forward to our next stay at Bellinter House very soon!

We got married at Bellinter House recently and Tina, Derek, Amanda x2, Precious,Ger, Oskar, Niamh and all the team at Bellinter were absolutely exceptional!
From start to finish we could not fault them as a venue- everyone was so kind, professional, efficient, relaxed, flexible and on the ball with everything!
We particularly really appreciated how fast they would respond to us throughout the whole planning process- they clearly have a really good team going there and are communicating so well with each other!
We absolutely loved our wedding day and all our guests were so impressed with Bellinter House, some even booked in to stay more nights when they were due to check out!
We booked exclusively for ur wedding and we could not have been happier- the rooms are so unique and quirky. The food was excellent. The staff are so friendly and professional they made wedding planning so much easier. On the day the team were so on the ball with everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests loved it there too and if we ever renew our vows we will certainly be choosing Bellinter House again!!

We had the most amazing wedding day at Bellinter House - the venue is stunning - the grounds and interiors - I felt comfortable that all my family and friends would have nice rooms to stay onsite also. The team were great, so helpful and all the staff so friendly - Special mentions for Niamh for her advice when showing us around, the night porters who answered our every query in the small hours, Amanda for being flexible with our requirements - and finally Derek who made sure everything ran smoothly on the day even doing a regular check to make sure we were feeling good! Top marks, thank you!

We just recently had our wedding at Bellinter House for 135 guests on the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday, followed by a buffet the following day. I could not thank the staff enough for everything they did, from Tina & Derek who were the wedding co-ordinators on the day, the correspondence and organising from Amanda & Niamh in the office to Amanda at reservations being so helpful with the organising the rooms for all the guests.
We had exclusive use of the venue for the day of the wedding and even though the weather wasn't great the day went off without any problems! I have never had as many people compliment the grounds or the amazing food, and even the fussiest guests had a ball!
Also have to thank the bar staff who did a brilliant job as they were kept busy throughout the weekend!
I would recommend Bellinter to anyone planning a big or small wedding, you will not be disappointed and I wish we could do it all over again!

We got married in Bellinter in June this year - if you're considering them for your venue do not hesitate! I couldn't speak highly enough of the whole team, we felt so well looked after by Tina, Niamh, Amanda N, Amanda H and Sean - they were so accommodating and made everything easy! And the venue itself! The beautiful setting, the atmosphere and the incredible food, Bellinter is a special place. All our guests were raving about it!! Gorgeous rooms and so many places for photos. Can't wait to go back to visit!
Clare and John

We got married at Bellinter House in May 2022, after postponing twice from 2020 and it was 1000% worth the wait. From when we first saw the venue in 2019, all our visits, and throughout our wedding weekend, the whole team at Bellinter made us feel so comfortable and so special, like we were their only wedding couple to take care of. They are incredible! The house and grounds have been so well looked after, their food is top standard, and the team so attentive and friendly, we really couldn't have asked for better hosts for our wedding. Our wedding guests (from UK, US, Ireland and beyond) absolutely loved the 2-3 days they spent there, and couldn't say enough good things about the staff, the beautiful, comfortable bedrooms and fab food. We feel so lucky to have found and planned our wedding at Bellinter House, it's a real gem.

We had our wedding in Bellinter House in the last couple of weeks and we really couldn't speak highly enough of the venue, the team, the food and the service here. We had exclusive use of the venue for us and our guests and couldn't recommend this more - it is absolutely stunning, from the bedrooms, the drinks reception areas, the ballroom and the grounds everything was presented beautifully and our guests just loved it! The team at Bellinter are outstanding, and from booking our wedding over 18 months ago right up to the weekend they were always extremely quick to respond, they really worked on building a relationship with us, and with all of the uncertainty that comes with a wedding at this time, nothing was too much to ask of them! Denise, Niamh, Amanda, Sean, Derek and Tina were all exceptional!

Our wedding day was so enjoyable and well run by Bellinter House and all of our guests had an amazing time - thank you so much Bellinter, we would not hesitate to recommend this gorgeous venue to anybody!

We had our wedding in Bellinter house after cancelling another venue due to covid and the unwillingness of the other venue! The drastic difference when we approached Bellinter with there amazing venue and customer service won us over! They were so amazing from start to finish any question or request we had was never a problem and with last minute changes with covid they were so so good at easing our minds and putting plans into place! On the day they had our wedding running like clock work with big friendly smiles I can't thank them enough! Special call out to Sean the operations manager he was amazing and a pleasure to deal with! We can't wait to come back for a stay in the new year

Tina and the team were great in both the lead up to and the day of the wedding. They are really professional and great to deal with. We would 100% recommend this as a venue for the wedding

Nothing was too much trouble for them and it was lovely to find a venue that catered to Vegans. The staff on the day went above and beyond and our day was perfect.

I would not ever hesitate in recommending Bellinter House, not only as a wedding venue, but for any occasion.? At one of our lowest moments, with a worsening pandemic, level 5 restrictions looming and with two venues having already fallen through, we had just 12 days to go to our wedding. Bellinter House took us on with zero hesitation.

The staff at Bellinter House are beyond accommodating, they were our saviours during such an uncertain time. They felt like our own personal support team, always there for us whether it was a panicked email or a manic phone call due to what felt like the never-ending government announcements on tightening restrictions. The staff took incredible care of us, always there to ease our minds, Amanda was a godsend, so sweet and quick responding to all my queries.

As with all hospitality, Bellinter House have all health & safety guidelines in place, such as masks, signage and hand sanitizing stations, but we barely noticed these things, once you were inside those big beautiful red doors you didn't feel as though there was a global pandemic raging outside, we felt completely safe and as if we were home.

Our day went so smoothly and beautifully, all down to the incredible professionalism and kindness of all the staff. At such an incredibly stressful and worrisome time, all the joy had been sucked out of our wedding planning journey. The kindheartedness of the staff kept us hopeful in the week approaching the wedding, and they reignited our excitement by giving us the most beautiful and incredibly joyful day. We did not even have to think for ourselves throughout the day, Tina and Derek were always a step ahead of us, ensuring our guests were happy and could not want for more.

The team dressed and laid out our wedding so beautifully that our small number of 25 guests felt like a party of 150.?

The exterior of bellinter house is absolutely beautiful and with the interior decor being unparalleled in wow factor, the options are endless when it comes to getting your photos. Our photos were really important to us and we were spoiled for choice for backdrops and settings, from the idyllic front staircase to the funky stylish interiors of the drawing room and bedrooms and from the charm of the spiral staircase to the beautifully lit bandstand. Our photos have turned out spectacular. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and cosy and the attention to detail is next level, we will be visiting for many years to come .

Denise went above and beyond to accommodate us, she could have turned us away with just 12 days to our wedding and tighter restrictions a strong possibility, but she embraced us wholeheartedly and gave us the most spectacular, beautiful and fun day we could have ever imagined.

The kindness of all the staff did not go unnoticed by our guests. Everybody felt so welcomed, safe and appreciative of such gracious service. Many a toast was risen to the staff throughout the day.

If you are planning a wedding, a getaway, a lunch or just about anything, put Bellinter House at the top of your list, if not for the breath-taking boutique d?cor and scenery, or the exceptional food, then to experience the next level hospitality, personalisation and kindness every single member of staff has to offer. You will not regret it!

I cannot thank the team in Bellinter enough for their help in making our day so fantastic. Our whole event went without a hitch and from the moment we arrived the night before we were put at ease and felt like we in good hands. These guys are professionals in the highest sense of the word sometimes knowing what you need before you do yourself! The attention to detail was second to none and nothing was to much trouble. In the organising of the event they helped us make decisions and when we struggled at our menu tasting pulled out all the stops to make sure we were happy.
The outcome was our dream day. The venue speaks for itself it was perfect for us as we didn't want a hotel feel and loved we could have full use of the venue for our day alone. The main points I would like to put in this review was how the staff who worked on the day of our event made us feel like the most important people in the world, but not only us our guests also! Our guest all commented on how amazing the staff were. The food was fabulous and the chef went far beyond anyone's expectations when he was presented with a guest with a severe nut allergy that I had not told them about previously. The meal she was presented with was amazing and I know she was very grateful. ? sorry about that by the way ? totally my fault!!! My son (2 yrs) slept through his meal and when I asked could he receive something later on this was facilitated with no fuss or questions. Again much appreciated.
I would like to specifically thank Barbara and Isabelle for their help in organising our day. Massive appreciation and thanks to Aidan, Sean, Derek, Patrick and Aaron who were our man contacts or should I say the people we leaned on the most for the 2 days were in Bellinter. Thank you, we are very grateful.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married. The friendliness and efficiency of all the staff on your big day is just what you need!
Once again thank you so much for everything. We can't wait to come and visit again, we still haven't tried that hot tub!

This was a fabulous venue for our wedding day, everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and the staff were so hands on and attentive everyone was really well looked after. The whole venue is so professionally run and Barbara and Shiyra were a dream to deal with, it took so much stress out of the wedding process knowing we could just trust the gang at Bellinter to deliver the best day ever. Every single staff member was so kind and professional. No request was too much to ask and they made us feel so at home and relaxed we had the most amazing day. We can't wait to come back. We can not recommend Bellinter enough.

Wonderful staff and beautiful venue! The staff were so friendly and accomodating to all us and all of our guests. We had a two day event with a BBQ on the second night. It felt like a home away from home. We had to organise our own guests into rooms which required a little more organising than expected but the team were quick to get back about any queries we had. We had such a wonderful day thanks to the team in Bellinter House. Would definitely recommend!

.

We had the absolute joy of having our wedding in Bellinter house on the 1st September this year. To say the staff were exceptional is an understatement. I hadn't one ounce of stress on the day and that's in no small part to the friendly warm relaxed and incredibly professional style of Barbara and the team at Bellinter. They were on top of everything, nothing was over looked but at the same time they weren't anxious or pushy and the day just seemed to run so naturally and in a care free way. When we set foot in bellinter on day one we knew this was our kind of place. Stylish a bit quirky and with gourmet food we loved the young but very enthusiastic and helpful staff and the whole place just has a feel of being at a treasured friends house party. I had a list of some slightly mad requests and bellinter never batted an eyelid! Even inviting two furry alpacas to our ceremony was accommodated without any trouble. The food on the day was remarkable it was something all our guests talked about after and the atmosphere of sophistication with a relaxed touch helped us have the happiest day of our lives! I couldn't recommend bellinter more and if we could go back we would choose them to have our wedding there every time.

Well, what can we say, we had the most amazing day. Paul, Barbara and Hayleigh and all the team at Bellinter was hugely influential in making our day so special. We could not fault anything at all on the day and leading up to the day. The ceremony on site, the food, the service, the staff's professionalism, all to a very high standard. Our guests raved about Bellinter and it was such a special place for our overseas visitors who were all impressed. We wish we were doing it all again at Bellinter. Anyone wishing to choose Bellinter for their special day are in safe hands with Paul, Barbara, Hayleigh and all the team. ????????????

We had our wedding reception at Bellinter House on 08th June 2018. When we were searching for a venue for our wedding, this place was the one for us from when we drove in the gate. From the house itself, the lush setting, to the food and staff, they were exceptional. Communication with Bellinter House throughout the whole year and a half of dealing with them was second to none.

We were originally supposed to get married during the snow on the 02nd March 2018 but due to safety reasons and in conjunction with Bellinter House, we had to postpone the wedding. During this difficult time, the staff of Bellinter House were so incredibly supportive and immediately arranged a new date for us. They were unbelievably accommodating during this stressful time and we can't thank them enough for their kindness and understanding.

The day itself was wonderful. Bellinter House looked stunning. My guests were constantly praising the venue and their fantastic friendly staff on the wedding day and the days that followed. I was so proud that we had our reception there. Any requests that we made for the day itself were followed through. Every guest request was accommodated be it food or bedrooms. We were given the run of the place. Even the night porter, Willie, put up with our sing song and dancing until 6AM the next day.

We look forward to staying in Bellinter House for many wedding anniversaries to come. To Paul, Barbara, Emer, Hannah and all the wonderful staff of Bellinter House, you were all great and a credit to Bellinter House. Your passion for weddings and the house itself is clear from the minute you arrive in Bellinter House. Keep up the fantastic work.

N?amh and Barry Wrafter

Hi All
I'm sharing my review - one I posed to trip advisor a few weeks after our wedding.
It's nearly six months ago now - I still say it was just amazing !
Many Thanks

I'm writing this review from the plane en route back to Canada, 2 weeks after our wedding date and also on the day of the royal wedding ? it kind of feels apt to write it on such a day!!

Andreas and I held our ?wedding weekend? in Bellinter House on May 5th and we had the best weekend of our lives. It was filled with so much love and fun and that all began in the early stages of our planning with the team there.

We had quite a unique relationship with the team, as both Andreas and I live in Canada and with the time difference we spent a lot of time communicating with the team via mail and then on the few trips that we had home.

We had guests coming from both Sweden and Ireland and other parts of the world and I had enlisted the support of my sister who lives in the UK and has her own events company (Tracy Lavin Events ) to work with the team in Bellinter to ensure the theme and planning was in place and implemented on the day! It was never going to be my area of expertise. It was great that the team were so cool with allowing Tracy to come in, as on the day to look around the room and know someone from my family made it look so incredible felt so personal and just lovely for both Andreas and I.

It was incredibly important for me to find a place that felt intimate and had eclectic taste ? so Bellinter was perfect for us. From the first day I walked in and met Barbara it was then I made the decision it was the place for us and faced timed my future husband and said ?we?re taking it?. Barbara and Alan were just great and so re assuring. We did at tour of all the rooms, each with their unique sense of style ? it was so exciting.

As the months past, I was lucky enough to be back home twice and we did all the food tasting etc. and stayed in the hotel (it was all just super). I couldn't wait for morning as breakfast was so good ? the eggs!!

Then the day arrived and it was perfect ? the sun was shining and we had our drinks reception outside and with music playing and gin flowing the guests gushed about how beautiful the setting was ? and it truly was.

Dinner, service and the family friend staff made everyone from all other the world feel most welcome. We danced into the early hours and all guests made it to bed or on a bus to nearby Trim. I of course got to stay in the bridal suite ? incredible. I've lived in a house that is the same size as the bathroom alone!!

The next day we had an outdoor BBQ for about 60 people and again it was fab ? set up beautifully and so unexpected as I had not asked for this. It looked like another wedding. We played games in the garden and chilled out all day.
Before we left on Monday I headed to the spa for a treatment ? it was just what was needed.

Overall an incredible weekend made possible by collaboration with the great team in Bellinter, patience and understanding in bringing people together and a family atmosphere from beginning to the end. Go see and check it out for yourself!! We will always come back when we are home to stay over and say hi to everyone there.

Thanks Guys ? Sending the biggest hug - Eithne and Andreas xxxxx

Bellinter House was more than wonderful. From the first day we met Paul and Barbara we knew it was the venue for our special day. The level of detail and support they provided us woth right from the start exceeded all our expectations. Nothing was a problem. Our family and friends were in awe of the whole place, the food ,the rooms and more importantly the service. I wish I had the day back gain.

I wouldn't have had my wedding anywhere else. Barbara and the wedding team are amazing. Any query, worry or random thought was answered with the patience that only a professional can have. The staff on the day of the wedding couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. They do the hotel proud. It says everything when after the wedding you are actually missing the team!

We had our wedding in Bellinter in April 2018. From start to finish the team in Bellinter were amazing. They were extremely accommodating for all of our requests and were a pleasure to work with. In particular, the wedding planner Barbara, was very helpful. The day was completely stressfree and all of the staff were fantastic. Brilliant venue for a wedding!

Amazing day and such care for us on our best day. Food drinks venue and service was amazing! Nothing was too small or big and we loved it!

Amazing venue which just exceeded our expectations. Food was fab and service staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went exactly how we wanted it. The wedding coordinator Barbara is absolutely fabulous and goes above and beyond for everything. Highly recommend- you won't be disappointed!

We had our wedding here on the 22nd September 2017. Barbara, Paul, Stephen ,Hayley and all the rest of the Bellinter House team went above and beyond from day one in helping us put our day together. The food was amazing and exactly like we tasted on our meal tasting prior to the wedding. The rooms are beautiful. We stayed in the Nunnery room . So elegant and special. The service was faultless and we have heard lots of compliments from our family and friends when they stayed here and celebrated with us.

We felt this was the perfect Venue for us and look forward to coming back to visit over the years .

Barbara Tiernan was a god send and so helpful to us. She made all the wedding stresses disappear and really made us feel completely at ease in the lead up to our day. Every thought we had in our heads they were able to deliver on the day without any fuss or complications. Their staffs dedication and attention to detail made our day even better than what we had planned to put together.

Would highly recommend for a wedding day. You wont be disappointed. Truly a unique venue .

The staff at Bellinter are so accommodating and flexible. Nothing was too much & everything was possible. The flow of the venue is great (we were married on site) and the staff are professional & expert at helping to move the day you want it to.

I know that everyone says their wedding day is the best day of their lives but I really don't think we would have had such an amazing day had we not chosen Bellinter as our venue.

Everything was so easy from the moment we decided to book it, from the planning stages with the brilliant Barbara Tiernan, the wedding coordinator, to the tasting evening, to the day itself. Everything was faultless and stress free as the efficiency and calm attitude of all involved kept me sane!

From the moment we stepped into Bellinter way back in January 2016, we knew that this was the place we wanted to celebrate our wedding. The grounds are beautiful, the house itself is so cool and quirky and fabulous but it was the laid back, yet efficient, friendly and good humoured demeanor of the staff as a whole that made us realize that this was the best place for us. Everyone on the day commented on how wonderful all the staff were and we all felt so at home- it was truly brilliant. The fact that you have exclusive use of the house and grounds for the wedding is amazing, you truly feel like it's your house and you're hosting the most important party of your lives. We even had our two dogs with us!

Thanks so much to the whole team and we shall be back! We would not hesitate in recommending Bellinter House. It's truly a special place.
Amy and Gareth

From the moment we met with Barbara the wedding co ordinatior in Bellinter House we knew our day was going to be special. Every step along the way was dealth with such ease and friendliness , we really felt that their aim was, genuinely to accomadate us as best they could. Which they exceeded in doing. We would highly recommend this venue, the venue itself is obviously not a new & modern comtempory style but it is a sophisticated old world dream with a splash of quirkiness and a big dollop of fun. Which is obvious with the decor throughout the house especially in the bridal suite, it's very cool. The staff are excellent and service is superb. Our day was quite chilly so we did not get to take advantage of the gardens etc for outdoor pictures ( our own decision ) but we got some fab ones throughout the house . The food is delicious and they have a super menu & wine list to choose from. From start to finish it was a pleasure dealing with Barbara and Paul ( general manager ) and we look forward to many visits to Bellinter House in the future .

I cant say enough about the house and neither can my guests! They were just so lovely and made us feel right at home. Amy the wedding coordinator was brilliant, always had an answer for me and if there was anything I needed, she'd be on top of it. Desmond our contact on the day was brilliant! He made sure the drinks were flowing, the food was coming out perfect, and ensured we were having a great time! Big thank you to the whole team that made our day so special. Literally not a thing went wrong!!! Highly highly highly recommend Bellinter!! Looking forward to coming back!

Stephen and I got married in Oct this year. To say that Bellinter were fantastic is an understatement! They could not have been more accommodating. All of the staff, in particular Amy were so helpful nothing was too much trouble. Lisa and Lenora were also fantastic as a lot of my phone calls were late at night when the kids were in bed. From me visiting with my 3 small kids (several times!) to get them used to the venue and the room they'd be sleeping in. Amy giving me hints/suggestions regarding table plans flowers,speeches etc and basically answering any silly question I had! When the day arrived all the Staff were brilliant anytime I met one of them they stopped me asked me where I was going could they help me. All of our guests without exception said what a fab venue fab service and fab food - I cannot thank Bellinter and all their Staff enough for making our day fantastic. Stephen and I would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding there or any event. Thank you so much Bellinter you are a star venue with first class staff and a fantastic event management team. Cheers Stephen & Sarah

We were so delighted with the service we received at Bellinter House from Amy and all the staff, Theydid the most beautiful job getting things sorted for us, even the pesky projector and we cannot thank Amy enough x

Our guests also from abroad also LOVED Bellinter house and there is now talk of revisiting next year on Golfing/Spa breaks.

Amy the wedding fairy is a lovely lady both personally and professionally and she helped us all stay totally relaxed on the day! We would have no hesitation in recommending Bellinter House for any occasion or break and Amy is wonderful at her job, always on hand and She totally deserve her Fairy crown!!!!

Thank you for making our very special post-wedding party just wonderful.

Biggest Thanks,

Kate and Mark

The moment I stepped inside Bellinter House I knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Amy, the wedding co-ordinator, was extremely helpful, professional and lovely! Anytime I needed to ask a question she was there to reply straight away. We had a small wedding and did a lot of diy for the day, Amy and the team were a massive help to us and set up all our decorations, favours, flowers and cake table on the day. The food was excellent and a lot of our guests said it was some of the best they had at a wedding. I couldn't recommend Bellinter highly enough,it's a gorgeous venue and caters for small and large crowds. I can't wait to go back for afternoon tea and a day Spa!

Sarah and I got married in July 2015 and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. We are still beaming from the enjoyment of it all. Bellinter House, gardens, staff and whole team were just exceptional throughout.

The food was incredible, as was the service. Amy and her team were always nearby and were more than helpful. The venue has a variety of locations which we used to full effect, the place looked fantastic and the hospitality was excellent.

What Bellinter offers over most locations is uniqueness. You do not feel at any stage that this is the same wedding that another couple had and that was very important to us. The venue has a relaxed feel to it and the Bellinter team do everything to make you feel welcome and ?at home? for the weekend.

If we had to (and we would certainly love to!) do it all over again, we would pick Bellinter every single time and to be honest, so would all of our guests as they had such a blast and are still talking about how much fun they had.

Hats off to Amy and the team at Bellinter, you far exceeded any expectations we had and we will never forget you for it!

We would highly recommend Bellinter if you want to have a great time and eat well all weekend, in a beautiful old country house, that is yours for the day.

Bellinter HOuse was in a word perfect. We booked our wedding with only 17 weeks to the day. Amy was on hand from start to ensure that it all went as we hoped.
We had an amazing day. The venue is beautiful, food fantastic and service above expectations.
Amy herself added the finishing touches to my homemade wedding cake. It's the small things that you remember and nothing was overlooked.

We chose to have a low key , no stress , fun wedding and that's exactly what we got.
Hand on heart it was the best day of our lives and I want to thank again Amy and Bellinter staff for everything.

Bellinter House was the first venue we went to view when we got engaged and I immediately fell in love with the house and the relaxed but professional atmosphere. From our first viewing we were made to feel so special and like it was our house. Amy was brilliant with any queries we had throughout the run up to the big day, we had no reason to ever feel nervous knowing she was looking after everything for us. We were lucky to have good weather on the day we got married outdoors in the amazing grounds under the weeping beech tree. The food and wine was amazing, beautiful canapés and absolutely delicious dinner. Try the Rioja :-) All the staff were brilliant and helped make our day perfect. All our guests had a brilliant time and commented on how beautiful the house is. The following day we stayed on and had a bbq sitting relaxing in the sun and going over everything that happened the day before. I would definitely recommend Bellinter House to anyone. A massive thank you to Amy and the crew for the best day ever.

We had our wedding in Bellinter in May 2015, it was honestly the best day ever. The venue is amazing and the staff are brilliant, they did everything to make our day so special?. in advance of the wedding, on the day and the next day. Amy is truly the wedding fairy, her organisation skills are second to none! We really didn't have to worry about a thing and we both felt very relaxed on the day because of that. I would highly recommend Bellinter to any future Brides :)

I don't have the words to recommend Bellinter House highly enough! From the moment we arrived for our first viewing we were looked after so well, all of our questions were answered (even the silly ones!) and all of our needs were catered for without issue.
On the day of our wedding, Amy and the rest of the staff were just brilliant - everything went so smoothly (we even got to have our ceremony outside!) and the day went exactly as planned. The house is so unique that we didn't even need to decorate much - which definitely helped with the stress levels! All of our guests raved about the house, the rooms, the food, the staff...I could go on!
The fact that we had the place to ourselves for the day was really special as well, we could relax with our guests and really let our hair down! I honestly can't recommend Bellinter House highly enough as a wedding venue - I'd do it all again tomorrow if I could!

I cannot fault Amy and the team in Bellinter in anyway. From our first visit to our big day Amy and the team looked after us and nothing was too much to ask. All of our guest thought the house was magical and many have returned for a visit which is testament to this. I think that it's the staff that make a venue special and this is what makes bellinter stand out as an amazing venue.

First of all we would like to say THANK YOU for helping us to arrange our big day and it was absolutely fantastic. We are so happy we found Bellinter House to celebrate this day with our families and friends. We only heard good things and it was just amazing.

Please also send our regards to the whole house and the staff just made it perfect and the service you provided was very personal and always 100%. We have never experienced such a home feeling and we are talking for all of us (incl the kids

Can't believe we are married a week and a day already !

Just wanted to thank you again for facilitating our big day. We had a fabulous day. We could'nt have chosen a more suitable venue and your can-do attitude to anything we needed or hadn't even thought of, made it truly personal to us and our needs. Everyone raved about the ceremony, the venue and the food especially !

Thank you so so much for making our day so special to us. You treated us so well and made us feel at home. No doubt you will be nominated for numerous awards again this year and I will definitely be voting for you guys. All our love

A million thank you's to you and the team at Bellinter - I can't believe that it has been a week already. This time last week I was having my make up done while all the hard work was going on behind the scenes. We had an amazing day and it would not have run as smoothly if you were'nt there running the show. I want to do it all again but in slow motion so I can appreicate every wonderful minute.

To Lorraine, we are so grateful to you and your staff for the amazing job you all did for us before and on our Wedding Day. It could not have gone better for us and was everything we had hoped for. Everyone was raving about the place, the food, the atmosphere. We will never forget how special it was! This is how all hotels should be!

Every Bride and Groom will tell you that their wedding day was one of the best days of their lives but not every Bride and Groom have a crazy 2 year old, quirky guests and a horse racing themed wedding! And so when we say it, we really mean it. Lorraine and her team made us feel at home in Bellinter House, like we owned it in fact and nothing was ever too much trouble!
So many of our guests have thanked us for a great day, all saying how much fun they had and how it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to! The atmosphere was warm and relaxed and everything went like clockwork.
For us, it really was a case of ?our wedding, our way? and we couldn't have pulled it off without the expertise and support of Lorraine. We look back on the day now and it's like a hazy dream with a little touch of magic and it has given us so many wonderful memories to cherish.

Just back from our Honeymoon ! Just wanted to thank you Lorraine and all the staff for making our day so special. Everything was beyond our expectations. The Guests have not stopped complimenting the venue, the friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. We really appreciate hard work, dedication and attention to detail. Thank you

Lorraine, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our recent wedding on 3rd July the most amazing time in our lives. From our initial visit to Bellinter House for a previous birthday, we knew we wanted to be married there. The opulent, contemporary surroundings coupled with outstanding food and service ensured our wedding exceeded all of our expectations. We felt completed at ease from our first meeting. Your knowledge, advice and professionalism allowed us to enjoy every step of the planning. Your sense of calm and vibrant presence on the day allowed everyone around you to relax and enjoy every moment. Kevin ensured our menu tasting was an extremely memorable occasion and his service and style were impeccable on the day. He also makes the best fruit punch! Rachel's good humour was infectious and she put me completely at ease on the morning of the wedding while preparing all of the little touches. All of the staff made us feel so at home and welcome during our stay and we wanted for nothing. It was like a home away from home. Our guests are still raving about Bellinter House from the rooms to the food and the staff - everyone thought it was the best day, and we completely agree. We would highly recommend Bellinter House for any occasion, especially a wedding. We look forward to seeing you all again soon, maybe our first anniversary!

Above and Beyond:
The thing that really struck me about Bellinter House is how they work together as a team. The staff went above and beyond in a few different ways. Their head chef, Francoise, was absolutely open to customizing our menu for our French guests; she was interested in us as a couple, and wanted to make sure our guests had the best dining experience possible. We had a BBQ the night before the wedding, and another BBQ the day after the wedding, and Francoise came out to meet our guests and explain the food, which added such an extra touch that she got a standing ovation from the guests at dinner time (apparently it's a French tradition!)

Another area where Bellinter went above and beyond, was the venue set-up up for our wedding. My family members were the band and the DJ so we had loads of instruments and amplifiers, but it didn't seem to fluster the staff at all. They were happy to help move things and set up swiftly. They were more than willing to get hands-on and help with all the practicalities of setting up. Another example was the gardening crew who raked the (huge) lawns on the morning of our wedding at our request - all with a smile.


Overall experience:
Our experience with Bellinter House was fantastic. Lorraine Cunningham was efficient, flexible and open to all of our ideas. When discussing our initial plans, she gave us some new creative ideas to think about, and was always encouraging when we had some colourful ideas of our own. We were planning our wedding from California, but it was so seamless and stress-free that we could have been planning it from across the road. Lorraine was highly responsive over email, and we organized almost everything online. On the day itself, Lorraine ensured everything ran according to schedule, and our guests were thrilled.

Overall, it was Bellinter's unique atmosphere that really won us over. There is such an air of funkiness, style, and laid back relaxation mixed with top-class service, divine food, and country-house charm. Our guests were amazed at the different character of each room; and were oohing and ahhing as they visited each other's rooms. They found all of the staff to be incredibly helpful and genuine, and they thought the food was truly delicious. There is something really special about Bellinter and all of our guests commented on it. It's got history and yet it's right on the pulse of all things trendy and fun today.

We could not have been happier with how our day went. The staff were exemplary ? from front of house, bar staff, waiters and waitresses and of course Lorraine. Lorraine was there the whole way making sure everything went exactly how it should. It was seamless and smooth. We loved having speeches upstairs around the fire where everyone was really relaxed. Dinner downstairs was amazing and the food and wine were fantastic. After dinner we went back upstairs and had a fantastic time dancing the night away. It was magical.
We were so sorry to leave the next day ? as everyone was leaving they were all telling us how much they loved Bellinter and would definitely be back. It really was the best two days of our lives and the memories from those days will never leave us.
We will always be grateful to Lorraine for the everything she did for us ? she went above and beyond and helped us have the best day ever.
We were so glad we chose Bellinter for our wedding. It was the perfect choice.

Lorraine, I cannot begin to tell you how perfect our wedding was at Bellinter House. I always imagined it'd be great but everything surpassed my expectations - everything was perfect! The service throughout our stay, across all areas of the hotel was outstanding. A special mention must go to the barman Paul who was so friendly to all of our guests, addressed everyone by name & knew what everyone was drinking! Lots of people commented on how good he was. But honestly, every member of staff we came across was just so friendly and happy to help. Nothing was ever a problem. The food, from the canapés, to the meal, to the midnight snacks was absolutely delicious. The standard of food was second to none - really really impressed with it. I took a quick glance round after each course and we had lots of empty plates! The bedrooms were beautiful & the overall feel of the whole hotel was so relaxed. I loved that we were able to get up the morning after the wedding and have a dip in the hot-tub. We were originally going to go to Italy for the wedding but I am so glad that we picked Bellinter House. It really was a dream wedding. Thank you so much for all your help with organising everything! We will definitely be returning to Bellinter for our 1 year anniversary (or before then if I can convince Gavin!) Thanks so much again.

To Lorraine, Declan and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all the help and preparation that you gave us for our wedding. We had a fabulous day, it was really brilliant! And we wanted to say thank you also to all the staff including David & Leanor, and thank you to all the people behind the scenes that we didn't see especially in the kitchen! All our guests loved Bellinter and had a super time. They all were raving about the food ! I actually just tried my first bit of wedding cake today, the black forest gateaux. It was delicious!
