Bellinter House

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue than Bellinter House for our wedding. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was both elegant and welcoming, blending historic charm with modern touches that created an unforgettable setting for our special day.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, their attention to detail and professionalism made us feel at ease. Every request was met with a smile, and they truly seemed as invested in our day as we were.

The food was outstanding – our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious each course was. The presentation was beautiful, and every meal felt like a fine dining experience. The bar and drink selection were top-notch as well, keeping everyone happy and well looked after.

The rooms and facilities at Bellinter House are equally impressive. Our guests loved staying in such a beautiful, comfortable setting, and it was wonderful having everyone together in one place. The grounds provided stunning backdrops for our photos, capturing the beauty of the day perfectly.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines luxury, character, and impeccable service, we highly recommend Bellinter House. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.

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.

We are very pleased that we picked Bellinter House to be host to our wedding reception. The hotel was a lovely setting and the guests all enjoyed the sunshine with drinks before dinner and we were able to sit outside during the evening. The food was amazing and all the staff were unbelievably helpful. I would absolutely recommend Bellinter to any of my friends who were getting married - it was wonderful!

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!

Bellinter was a great venue and helped with so much of the organising. They are experienced so gave us good suggestions

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.

Derek and the whole team at Bellinter House did an amazing job - they are absolute professionals! The day ran so smoothly, the service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. We were delighted with everything from start to finish! We'd an amazing day and would definitely recommend Bellinter!

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.

If you've viewed Bellinter I'm sure it goes without saying that the venue and grounds are beautiful and there is a lovely mix of classic and alternative class to the place. What made the venue so special for us in the end was the quality of everything that goes on top of that. The food and drink were fantastic but what stood out the most was the staff, combining a relaxed yet professional attitude (exactly what we were after) they went above and beyond to accommodate guests being comfortable on what was an insanely hot day (ice water and umbrellas) for the ceremony and really helped us plan and do everything we hoped for throughout our 2 days of celebration.
Moyah and Precious in particular looked after us and our guests so well over the weekend, we really couldn't have asked for more! They were so warm and helpful and seemed to anticipate everything from ice water for our 28?c ceremony, to noticing how everyone was enjoying being on the terrace and suggesting we switch up pre dinner speeches to be held outside (ended up being one of our favourite parts of the day). Also, due to the heat, we arrived with a semi melted wedding cake, not expecting it to be salvaged at all, but Moyah and chef saved the day, fixing our cake, adding some new icing and some structural faux flowers to help it stand straight!
Throughout the planning of our wedding, the wedding team were super responsive and really helpful over email and accommodating to some late changes to room reservations. Only thing to be aware of if that they suggest the couple allocate rooms to guests. This makes perfect sense so that you can fit everyone in with the different room occupancies but it is at least 1 evenings tough work in the planning! Overall we couldn't recommend getting married at bellinter house more! We have had so many of our guests say it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we must also agree!

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.

I don't think we can fully capture how absolutely incredible the Bellinter team was in making our wedding a perfect day. The venue itself is beautiful and we were fortunate enough to have nice weather to be married under the magical tree on the lawn. All the food was absolutely delicious and they pull a very nice Guinness. But what made the day incredible were the people. Between Derek, Moya, Precious, and the Amandas the Bellinter team made sure every detail was accounted for and that everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy the day. We are so grateful to this team for helping create the best day of our lives. Thank you so much! Sarah and Jason

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.

We would highly recommend Bellinter House to any engaged couple. When we initially went to view Bellinter House we fell in love with the old worldly Georgian house and it's quirky décor, we felt right at home straight away and the staff played a huge part in this.

Niamh and Amanda made the planning process so seamless, I would consider myself some-what of a perfectionist and they were always on the other end of the phone with a friendly hello, answering any questions or offering advice or reassurance.

We invited our parents to our wedding tasting and Tina made the whole night so special for us and our families and it made the whole lead up-to the wedding so exciting for us all. Our Wedding Day was just perfect. The food was delicious and we received lots of compliments on
our chosen menu. Derek looked after us so well ensuring everything on the day ran so smoothly. My sister had created a surprise short video for us to play on the day and Derek ensured everything was setup to perfection while also keeping it a secret for us until the last minute. Derek, Precious and all the staff on the day were so welcoming and friendly to our nearest and dearest, as a couple you pour your heart and soul into your special day and it really means a lot when you can see the staff looking after everyone so attentively.

We cannot wait to go back and celebrate our anniversary there - something we hope we will continue to do for many years to come.

Thanks for everything,

Alma & Sean x

Amazing Venue for our Wedding Day.

Staff were attentive and the day ran so smoothly thanks to them all. The Nunnery accommodated 130 guests and musicians for an indoor ceremony on-site.

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 on Sunday September 4th after booking Bellinter 2 years earlier and from day 1 to the day we checked out as Mr and Mrs it's been a pleasure to deal with Tina, Derek, Amanda, Niamh and the whole team.
We were absolutely blessed with the weather which meant we could have the most amazing outdoor ceremony in front of the beautiful willow tree. Our drinks reception was outside too and was so relaxed! Tina and Derek were never too far away, happy to help all our guests, find solutions to issues before we even realised they were issues and just thinking of absolutely everything!!!
The food, drinks and service was next level!!! We went with the Signature Bellinter package and every course was better than the previous! All our guests commented on how fab the food was.
The residents bar was also a big hit for our guests and we had the best craic singing along with the nicest bar man.
The rooms are just out of this world! Each one is so unique but the bridal suite is so special. The nicest bathroom I've ever seen!! Beautiful decor, the most comfortable bed and gorgeous views. And the most beautiful gift of a painting of Bellinter House to keep as a reminder of the best day of our lives!
If you are in 2 minds of booking Bellinter please go for it! You will have the most amazing day, in a stunning venue with a top class team of people! Thank you for everything !

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 celebrated our wedding day on 23rd July earlier this year and we can't thank the team at Bellinter enough for making everything so perfect. From dealing with Niamh a year in advance in booking the venue to all of our questions she and Amanda helped us with us every little detail. Tina was a dream to have on the day of itself, an absolute pro and kept everything running smoothly for us, we can't thank her enough. All of our guests commented on our "dream venue" and the amazing food..even months later people are still raving about the lamb!! We felt like we were in great hands with people who really knew what they are doing and wanted to help us, this was especially true when the weather turned on the morning of the day and Tina helped by clearing one of the large drawing rooms so we could do our first look before the ceremony. We weren't in anyway rushed and we got to enjoy a few photos and a moment of calm together in beautiful surroundings. We can't wait to come back to beautiful Bellinter again, thank you so much 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 in Bellinter last month and I only wish we could do it all over again. The team at Bellinter went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Nothing was ever a hassle and they did everything they could to accomodate us. From the moment we walked in to view Bellinter as a possible wedding venue we felt so welcome and special. We had exclusive use or the venue which was incredible and we couldn't reccomend it enough. Our guests were so impressed with the beautiful grounds (ideal for photos), staff, bedrooms and food. The overall decor of Bellinter is stunning and every room is the perfect backdrop. The day couldn't have gone any smoother and that's mainly down to the professionalism of the staff and also their ability to just go with the flow and enjoy the day also. It's an absolute five star venue with ten star staff and you'd be mad not to want to get married there. We can't thank Niamh, Amanda, Tina, Denise and all the staff enough. We had the best day ever!!!

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!

A day Lily and I will never forget. We initially chose Bellinter House because it ticked all our boxes of having an exclusive, luxurious, classy and bespoke venue for all our guests visiting from England and Ireland.

Amanda and Niamh were super easy and a delight to work with in reserving and booking the venue and package we wanted. There was always a constant line of communication between Amanda, Niamh and I even during these uncertain times we never felt in the dark.

Denise arranged regular meetings with us to ensure that on the day everything happened exactly how we envisaged. During these meetings Denise even suggested things we had never even thought of. Denise was a delight to have in charge of everything at Bellinter and we fully trusted Denise and her team within minutes.

When we arrived we met the wonderful Tina, who would be heading up operations on the big day. I cannot tell you how happy we where to have Tina leading proceedings, she was not only a consummate professional, but was a delightful person with amazing energy. She made us feel so special and ensured everything went according to plan. Tina was so attentive to detail and made sure Lily and I where spoilt throughout the whole day/night! We could not thank her enough - a very special lady we hope to run into again!

Front of House manager Sean was an ever presence throughout our stay and we could not sing his praises higher, Sean was so important to us the days before, during and after our weekend and instrumental in the nights proceedings. A constant professional but like all things Bellinter made us feel so relaxed, at home and content.

The Bellinter Staff made Lily and I feel like we lived at the country house for the 3 days. Geraldine and her team looked after all our guests during 3 very hungover breakfasts and could not have created a greater morning atmosphere for everyone. Paul who was in charge of the Bar was superb in his service to Lily and I and went down a treat with all our guests with a great sense of experience and humour. Cian - one of the barmen we got to know a visit before our wedding weekend was integral in booking the 2nd day party having suggested a great venue for the event. Slav the night manager had to put up with lots and did everything with a great smile on his face. I throughly enjoyed coming down early in the morning and having a quick catch up about the previous nights proceedings with him even though he had been up all night. I wish I knew all the names of the staff that worked at Bellinter, for those who I haven't mentioned a huge thank you too! Chefs (Amazing Food), receptionists, cleaners EVERYONE!

Bellinter House was a such a special place with the most beautiful surroundings where Lily and I lived/stayed. The staff/people where so personable and approachable during our wedding weekend. They knew our names on arrival and kept us up to date with everything we needed to know, the atmosphere was buzzing throughout the weekend and our guests could not have been more complimentary. It was very emotional leaving such a place but life moves on and we had to go back to reality.

Thank you to Denise and EVERYONE at Bellinter House for a weekend we will never forget and we look forward to seeing you all in a year.

Kindest regards,

Pat and Lily

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

We had decided we wanted a large house for our wedding and to have the ceremony and reception all at the one place. Bellinter was the only venue we saw and fell in love straight away. We confirmed a date the next day! Being a strange year, to say the least, we finally got to go ahead after re-arranging 4 times! During this time the hotel were so accommodating and came to us before we even had to call them.
On the lead up to our day, they made sure everything was in place and with constant reassurance we felt so at ease. The same can be said for the day of. Derek had met us the day before and run through everything, every small detail we hadn't even considered was taken care of. On the day Tina was there to guide us and keep us and our guests on time.
The food, the service and the venue are outstanding and I know many of my guests will be returning in their own time to experience it all again for themselves. We can't thank the staff at Bellinter House enough for helping make our day so special.

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!

We found it so difficult to know where to hold our wedding reception when we got engaged. We knew we wanted a house (rather than a hotel), enough rooms to sleep our guests, a bar in the reception room, a convenient location to Dublin, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere - Bellinter House offered us all that and more! We had the most wonderful wedding day in Bellinter House and we couldn't be more grateful to the staff, particularly Barbara and Isabelle, for all their help and hospitality. The staff were like a family - warm, friendly and relaxed - and Bellinter felt like home for us on our wedding day. The food was incredible and the tasting we had beforehand was such an enjoyable night. The grounds are spectacular and we were delighted to get a lovely sunny day! Thank you so much again to the wonderful team at Bellinter House, we can't wait to return next year and try out the 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.

It was only the second wedding venue we looked at but we knew straight away it was the perfect place! We had a small (60 people) wedding but it's a perfect venue for either an intimate or larger wedding so ideal if you need to remain flexible. There were no issues along the way, we organised our own decorations and entertainment, but Barbara was there all the way along to guide and support. They also went out of their way to accommodate some last minute reshuffling. We felt like we owned the place during the wedding and we were just inviting friends and family to stay in our Georgian estate! Highly recommend as a wedding venue.

.

As a couple we really enjoyed our wedding in Bellinter. The staff were extremely helpful in the planning and very flexible to our needs as there were certain aspects of the traditional wedding we didn't want to include. They made the process very easy and stress free and the setting was perfect for our wedding. The staff were very accommodating to the other services we used on the day. The food was of exceptional quality and they took on board our suggestions after the food tasting to cater to our needs. We loved our wedding day in Bellinter, the setting is stunning and only the smallest of touches are needed to enhance the venue. We would recommend Bellinter as a wedding venue to all future brides and grooms.

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. ????????????

From the moment we stepped foot in Bellinter House we knew it was the venue for us. It has the perfect combination of old world charm and modern style and ideal if you're looking for something a little different for your wedding setting. It has an atmosphere like nowhere else, we felt so at home there as did all of our guests. Barbara, Paul and all the team looked after us so well throughout the planning process and on the day itself. The day was a dream come true for us.

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

In a word if someone asked us would we get married in Bellinter house if we were doing it all over again our answer would be a Resounding YES ... it was the most perfect day... stunning hotel amazing food great advice and surpassed our expectations thanks to The fabulous managers chefs and staff. We couldn't have asked for more and additionally our guests were thrilled with every aspect of the day and the following day .. huge gratitude and admiration for the team.

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!

Super food super staff everything was perfect

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!

All the staff treated us so well, as though our wedding was the most important wedding they'd ever hosted. The manager went above and beyond his duty to make sure everything was running smoothly.

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 .

We choose Belinteer House for our Wedding because it had both the elegant touch and rustic feel that complimented both our personalities. The house and grounds are just beautiful and gave us the relaxed vibe we wanted for our day. Our wedding Co-ordinator Barbara was amazing to deal with. The whole process was stress free and so easy. Barbara and the team looked after everything . Whether your ceremony is outside or inside they have it covered . We were lucky that the sun came out after the ceremony so had our drinks reception and speaches out on the patio. It was perfect. Our guests commented several times to us on how helpful and friendly the staff were. As for the food , it was just delicious . We had several guests with various dietary requirements which were catered for from the drinks reception right through to breakfast the next day . The staff knew exactly what requirements each of those guests had so they didn't once feel they had to explain which was excellent.
We stayed in Belinteer House a couple of times coming up to the wedding and it consistently excelled in service . If you choose there as your wedding venue you will not be disappointed .

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.

We had an amazing wedding in Bellinter House. The house itself looked absolutely stunning and all the staff went out of their way to make it an extra special day for everyone attending. I cannot recemmend them enough.

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!

Amy and the team at Bellinter were amazing - we were so happy we chose Bellinter as our wedding venue. We stayed two nights and really felt like it was our own house ! Our family and friends loved the relaxed , cosy and Homely vibe of the hotel also. We all especially love that we can go back time and time again as guests for a hotel break that has it all , spa , good food, wonderful rooms and the friendliest staff !

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

We had an amazing day at Bellinter House for our wedding in September. Not only is the house beautiful but organising the wedding with Amy was a pleasure, we really felt so at ease with her and even had a laugh!
She had great ideas about things, but at the same time listened to what we wanted and helped us achieve them. Amy always tried to make things easier and even organised the serviettes to be folded & ready for us before the wedding so we could tie our own menus around them. Little things like this made such a big difference to us during the crazy busy few days before the wedding.
We stayed for 3 days with family & friends and everyone commented at how at home they felt in the house. All the staff went above & beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Even offering to get my young daughter a banana from the local shop as they didn't have any when I was looking for one!!
The food was amazing, all our guests talked about how much they enjoyed the meal. We highly recommend Bellinter house, and we know we will be back visiting as much as we can.

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.

can't thank bellinter house and Amy enough.we got married there in July and from start to finish they were wonderful.what a wonderful setting for a wedding.the grounds are fantastic and THAT TREE.such a beautiful location for photos.Amy was really a god send to us for our big day.nothing was too much and had every single detail sorted for us when we arrived.
on arrival we were greeted with glass of champagne and a smile.as our guests mingled upstairs were treated to some beautiful canapes and sparkling wine as they relaxed in the drawing room.
The main room was decorated just as we pictured it and laid out so everyone had lots of room to sit for dinner.As for the dinner it was just delicious.we had the fillet steak or sea bass for our main course and both went down a treat with every single guest with many comments raving about how scrumptious there meal was.
the rest of the evening went off perfectly and just as we dreamed of.the staff were incredible from kitchen and servers to bar and reception desk.each one was more than willing to help with anything we could ask.Amy especially went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect.
if you are planning on getting wed i would highly recommend Bellinter House to everyone.you will not be disappointed.it truly is the perfect venue for your wedding.

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.

Myself and my husband, Mark, had our wedding ceremony in Bellinter House in May this year. What an amazing day it was! Well, it lashed rain all day but the atmosphere in the house was so good we didn't even notice. I had been at a wedding in Bellinter House in 2007 and fell in love with it. When we got engaged it was the first and only venue we visited! Mark absolutely fell in love with it too as soon as we were shown around. With not such a big budget and wanting a more informal wedding we opted for a pig on a spit and a buffet for our reception. It worked out so well. The food was out of this world delicious and the pig on a spit was a huge talking point with the guests! Everyone absolutely loved the food and there was plenty of it. From day one of meeting the wedding coordinator Amy we felt so relaxed around her and she went out of her way to make our day extra special, even ensuring that the house was decorated with all our little personal mementoes and displaying our bouquets and the wedding cake perfectly. Every member of staff on the day went above and beyond to make our day as brilliant and memorable as it was. I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bellinter House to anyone looking for a really special wedding day with first rate food and personal touches from the first day you start planning to your all important wedding day

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!

There is not one bad word I can say about Bellinter. As soon as we saw it the first time we booked it straight away, we didn't even bother looking for anywhere else. The service they provide is top class, they make it so easy to relax and there was absolutely no stress for us in the lead up or even on the day.

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

A huge thank you to you and your colleagues from Len, myself and my parents. You all worked so hard on the day and in the lead up to make it a really special, fun, happy and relaxed day. Our Guests only had wonderful things to say about it all, the setting, the food, the servicem it was first class ! Thanks for everything.

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

Thank you for your phenomenal work. I knew from the minute I visited Bellinter House that it would make the perfect place for our Wedding Reception. Neither us or our Guests were disappointed. Ten out of ten. even with the heavy rain ! You decorated the house so beautifully, it really looked so special and personal. Our guests still rave about the delicious food and "House Party" atmosphere. We couldnt have asked for a better day and we really enjoyed making a weekend of it with some of our guests, who stayed on. We are forever grateful, Love Brian & Siobhan

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!

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 canapes, 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.

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.

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!
