Moyvalley Hotel & Balyna House

The PERFECT venue for our Big Day.

We recently had our wedding at Moyvalley Hotel on June 22nd, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, everything was perfect.

Our wedding coordinator, Niamh O'Reilly, was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. Her attention to detail and dedication made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. From church venues, to dog sitters, Niamh offered a solution for anything we needed. Everything we asked for was covered, no detail was missed and we were blessed to have Niamh as our wedding coordinator.

Our wedding party had a contingent of 12 kids under 5 and the hotel were fantactic in organising in house babysitters . A big thank you to Gemma, who looked after our little girl for a period of time across the weekend.

Moyvalley as a venue was superb. Balyna House provided a stunning backdrop for our drinks reception after the church and Day 2 celebrations. The historic charm and beautiful surroundings made it the ideal location, offering a feel of an Italian Wedding. Balyna House also offered a wonderful hidden Gem called the 'Cellar Bar', located downstairs in Balyna house, the perfect setting for a late drink & a sing song after the main event. The main hotel was equally impressive, offering a perfect setting for our meal and evening music. We had 160 guests, the main hotel could comfortably hold more.

Over the 2 days, the food was outstanding. From the finger food, to the main meal, it was amazing. We opted for the fillet steak for mains, and it was cooked to perfection. The presentation was impeccable, and the service was swift, ensuring our guests were well taken care of. Everyone raved about the food on day 1 & day 2. For Day 2, we opted for the BBQ and Pizza option, it was 10/10! Again, anything we asked for in the build up for our menu was perfect on the big day.

The staff at Moyvalley Hotel were exceptional in every way, providing top-notch service that truly enhanced our wedding experience. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, professional, and friendly, making sure that every detail was taken care of with the utmost precision. Their warm hospitality and genuine care for our guests were evident throughout the day, ensuring that everyone felt welcomed and comfortable. The waitstaff were efficient and courteous, serving everything with a smile.

We honestly can't fault the venue in any way, we fell in love with it instantly & we're so pleased we had our Big Day here. Moyvalley Hotel made our big day incredibly special and memorable. We highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel for any couple looking for a dream wedding venue. Thank you for making our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more!

We recently celebrated our wedding at the stunning Moyvalley Hotel, with our ceremony in the beautiful Stone House and our reception in the magnificent Balyna House. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, and we are still in awe of how perfect our special day turned out. Niamh were wedding coordinator was unbelievable throughout our planning process to the main day. She was friendly, professional and a friend who guided us along each step of the way.
The Stone House provided a charming and intimate setting for our ceremony, with its elegant architecture and picturesque surroundings. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos, adding a timeless beauty to every shot.
Balyna House, where we held our reception, was absolutely breath taking. Our family and friends are still talking about its beauty and grandeur. The historical charm and exquisite decor created an enchanting atmosphere that made our celebration feel truly magical.
Catherine and the kitchen staff delivered food which was absolutely delicious, exceeding all our expectations. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, delighting our guests and leaving everyone raving about the meal. The variety and quality of the menu truly showcased the culinary expertise of the hotel's kitchen staff.
What stood out the most was the exceptional service from the Moyvalley Hotel team. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. Brendan went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries. Their warmth and efficiency added a personal touch that made us and our guests feel genuinely welcomed and valued.
Thank you, Moyvalley Hotel, for making our wedding day an extraordinary experience. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more dedicated team to share in our celebration. We highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel to anyone looking for a magical wedding venue. Five stars all the way!

Our wedding day was the most amazing day, largely thanks to Niamh Reilly and all the staff at Moyvalley Hotel.
From the minute we stepped into the hotel for the wedding showcase, we immediately loved it. It has everything- lots of accommodation for guests and a lovely old house to enjoy at reception.
Niamh was so lovely and helpful throughout the year and a half from booking to our wedding day. Niamh always replied to my emails within hours and she was even more helpful when I had issues with sending emails in the weeks leaving up to the wedding!
On the day, everything went so smoothly and all our guests loved the house and the staff even showed the Epsom Derby on the tv for the guests to enjoy!
The food was amazing, everyone I was talking to complimented the food and how quick the staff served everyone.
Overall we had the best day ever and probably my favourite part was going down to the “dungeon” to the residents bar after. We brought a guitar down and played and sang songs and had privacy away from the hotel.
We would 100% recommend Moyvalley and the use of the house to anyone getting married. It really is a hidden gem!! The location, food and grounds were perfect. Again many thanks to Niamh for all her advice and help along the way. We couldn’t have wished for anything more. It is amazing to look back on our wedding day and smile at all the memories from the day. We couldn’t have been happier on the day.
Rebecca and Matthew.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding at Moyvalley Hotel! As an Austrian-German couple living in Ireland, we had many international guests, and Moyvalley provided the perfect setting for our special day. The welcome dinner the night before was a fantastic start to the celebrations. About 80% of our guests traveled from abroad and they all loved the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The grounds of Moyvalley are picturesque, and our guests enjoyed exploring them on the morning of the wedding.

The ceremony in the beautiful stone house was intimate and charming, and the reception in the stunning Balyna House was simply perfect. The weather was absolutely beautiful on our wedding day, so that we could stay outside during reception and enjoy the sunshine.

Having everything in one place made the day seamless and stress-free. Our guests also appreciated staying at the venue for two nights, with many commenting on the comfort and quality of the rooms.

From the moment we started planning, we felt we were in good hands with Ciara, our wedding coordinator. Her flexibility with timings, coordinating guests, and last-minute room arrangements were exceptional. She was there every step of the way, including perfectly timing the entrance for the bride and bridesmaids.

The staff at Moyvalley were incredibly friendly and perfectly organised. We felt very much at ease during our day and didn't have to worry about anything. The food was delicious and plentiful, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. We particularly loved the change of setting when moving downstairs to the Cellar Bar in the night, and the only point of improvement we would suggest is to open the Cellar Bar sooner, perhaps at 12:30 instead of 1:30 am.

We would highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel to every couple! The value for money is perfect, and the venue's beauty, combined with the convenience of having everything on-site, made our wedding day absolutely magical. For those with many guests wanting to stay overnight, Moyvalley is ideal with its numerous hotel rooms. We also appreciated Moyvalley's flexibility with guest numbers. It can accommodate large weddings of 150+ people, but it was also perfect for our smaller wedding of approximately 75 guests.

From start to finish, our wedding day was perfect in every way. Thank you, Moyvalley, for making our big day so special!

We recently had our wedding at Moyvalley Hotel, and it was absolutely amazing. Our guests keep telling us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to.

We got married in the Stone House, had our drinks reception at Balyna House and then moved across to the main hotel for our dinner (all within a short walking distance of each other). The venue is stunning! The grounds and interiors are beautiful, making for some really magical photos and a great atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for our special day.

The food was incredible. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. There were plenty of options to cater to all our guests' tastes, and everyone was really impressed with their meals. Again our guests are still raving about it!

The staff at Moyvalley Hotel were outstanding. Every member of the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. Their commitment to excellent service was evident in every interaction, making us and our guests feel warmly welcomed and well cared for throughout the entire stay.

A special mention to Niamh, our wedding coordinator. She was excellent from start to finish. Niamh was always quick to respond to any questions we had and made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. Antoher special mention to Premraj, the hospitality manager on duty over the two days of the wedding. He always ensured we were looked after throughout the whole stay.

Overall, Moyvalley made our wedding day unforgettable. With the beautiful venue, amazing food, and excellent staff, it was everything we hoped for and more. We highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel to anyone looking for an incredible wedding experience. Thank you to everyone at Moyvalley Hotel for making our day so special!

From start to finish, the service and treatment we received from Moyvalley Hotel and Ciara Dowling our wedding coordinator was incredible. The flexibility, understanding, venue, setting, food were all genuinely top class and great value for money to boot.

We had the most amazing day at Moyvalley for our wedding. We and our families stayed in the cottages the night before and from the moment we checked in the staff were excellent. Getting ready in the cottages made everything so easy and the staff moved our bags over to Balyna house during the ceremony so we didn’t have to think of anything. We had our humanist ceremony in the Stonehouse and I cannot think of a more beautiful venue. Niamh and Simon were on hand to round up any stragglers among the guests and make sure everything was good to go. We had our drinks reception and dinner and dancing all in Balyna house. Everything ran so smoothly for the whole day. Some of the staff saved some of the canapés for us as we had missed most of them when getting photos done, this was much appreciated. Brendan was on hand through the drinks reception and meal and checked in with us to make sure we were happy, he also made sure our flowers were safe in the cold room at the end of the night so we could take them the next day. Our meal was rated so highly among our guests and we couldn’t fault any of the food! The Cellar bar is a great spot for the end of your night. Several of the staff were amazing with helping our guests getting around the venue. Our wedding coordinator was Niamh and she has been a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning. Quick to answer any questions and help any way she could.

We would recommend Moyvalley and Balyna House to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. From the first contact with the hotel to checking out after the big day, we couldn't have been happier with how everything was handled. The Stonehouse was perfect for our wedding ceremony and our 75 guests. The reception afterwards in Ballyna House was a great occasion and the layout of the house was perfect. People were able to choose between partying hard or taking it easy in the bar or front room but everything was so close together, it was easy to move around and talk to everyone. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. We stayed in one of the cottages, which was perfect for us and our 2 children and was a great quiet retreat for the kids when the big day got a bit much for them. Best of all was the staff. From bar staff, waiting staff, housekeeping, reception, duty managers and especially our wedding coordinator Niamh, everyone we interacted with was incredibly helpful and professional and made handling the events of the big day so easy. We can't wait to go back for another visit.

Moyvalley hotel was the most spectacular venue for our wedding. Balyna House is beautiful and excellent for our drinks reception all our guests were blown away by how gorgeous the place was. The staff in Moyvalley went above and beyond for us on the day and nothing was ever an issue on the day for them. Ciara our co ordinator was fantastic nothing was ever an issue for her she made the planning of the wedding so much easier for us and took care of everything on the day. I would recommend Moyvalley as a wedding venue for any couples getting married. Our guests are still talking about how stunning it was and how amazing the food was.

From the moment we got engaged I googled wedding venues and Moyvalley was the first one to come up and I fell in love instantly and then when we went to view it in person the whole venue, its grounds and the staff blew us away.
Niamh was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic, she was always on hand with any queries we had.
On the day of the wedding I could not fault anything, they made our day so special and everyone that attended were raving about the place and the staff.
The morning after the wedding my 2 year old son fell ill and the staff went above and beyond to help us make him comfortable. I would highly recommend Moyvalley for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

Moyvalley was the perfect wedding venue for us. Our wedding coordinator Ciara was extremely helpful and always quick to get in touch with us when we needed her help.
Everything ran so smoothly on the day and the staff were exceptional. Thanks to Moyvalley for everything would highly recommend them for anyone's big day.

We had our wedding here on Friday. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. All staff (day and night) were incredible and service was impeccable. Balyna House is magical. Food was delicious. We had guests from all over the world, all of whom were bowled over by the hotel and venue. Hats off to wedding planners Niamh and Ciara, and thanks to everyone in Moyvalley Hotel for making our day the best ever.

We had an amazing day in Balyna House for our wedding. The staff were very professional and helpful. Everything we discussed and requested was perfect on the day. Ciara our wedding co-ordinator was absolutely fantastic. She was so knowledgeable, kind, responsive to contact and supportive the whole way through. It really helped with the planning process knowing we had someone to talk through things with. We were so happy with our day and enjoyed it all so much. We would highly recommend for any future couples to go and visit Balyna House in Moyvalley Hotel.

We can not fault anything about the build up to our wedding or the day itself, we had the time of our lives. Ciara is amazing at what she does along with all staff, they went above and beyond. Our guests are still raving about the venue and food. Thank you so much !

Moyvalley was the perfect wedding venue! Our wedding was held throughout the hotel in the Stone house, Balyna House and Royal Canal Suite. All three locations were beautifully set up and had more than enough space for all 120 guests. All of our guests were raving about the wedding breakfast, and how it is the best wedding food they've ever had! All the staff were friendly, and happy to help with any requests.

Our wedding planner, Niamh, was amazing the whole way through. Happy to answer all our questions and made every effort to make our day perfect. Even planning the wedding from England, Niamh kept in regular contact with us, and made sure everything stayed on track. The day of the wedding she made sure that everything went smoothly and we can't thank her enough!

We would definitely recommend Moyvalley to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The location is amazing, and the staff will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams!

We had our wedding on May 20th in MoyValley and Balyna house and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the food was unbelievable! All our guests commented on it. From setting up to checking out everything ran so smoothly thanks to all the staff. Niamh made it so easy for us to plan from Canada. All the staff were absolutely amazing, so unbelievably attentive for the entire weekend! We extended for a second day also and it was so worth it to spend extra time in the beautiful house and grounds. Balyna house is so beautiful and was a lovely home away from home on the weekend. Would recommend over and over!

We got married on April 09th 2023 and had the best experience in Moyvalley. I stayed in the bridal cottage the Saturday night, and then in Balyna House on the Sunday and Monday. From the food to the service absolutely exceptional. The manager on the day of the wedding always checked in and he was so good and helpful.We had full reign of Balyna House for Day 2 and it honestly was the best experience ever. Our wedding planner Niamh was amazing no matter the questions she always assisted! I would recommend Moyvalley to anyone and we look forward to going back in the next few months. Thanks to all at Moyvalley!

Moyvalley is an amazing venue that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Niamh our wedding coordinator was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. On the wedding day, Niamh and Brendan were on hand with any help we needed, and made sure the day ran smoothly, nothing was ever an issue for them. Simon the GM was also very helpful. The staff, both bar staff and the staff serving food were brilliant, especially our server Shauna. The exclusive use of Balyna House really added to the wedding day and the party at night. We loved the fact that all our guests could stay on site in the hotel. We had a brilliant wedding day and amazing weekend, a big part of it was due to Moyvalley and their wonderful venue and staff.

We were having a relatively small wedding, so we knew we wanted somewhere that would feel cozy but still very stylish. Balyna House for the bill - absolutely stunning and felt very warm. We could picture our wedding reception so clearly. Our coordinator, Niamh was amazing from start to finish. Always very friendly, helpful and prompt. She made the whole process very seamless and easy. All of the Moyvalley Hotel staff were really great too.

On the day, everything went smoothly and we had an amazing time. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the House was, how tasty the food and the amazing service.

All in all, we couldn't be happier and would 100% recommend Balyna House as wedding venue.

We got married in Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort on 25th March and we can not recommend the hotel enough. From the first email Ciara, our wedding coordinator was a pleasure to deal with. She was so prompt with all enquiries and nothing was too big or too small. Ciara is fantastic at what she does, she shared lots of tips and ideas on how to make our wedding day really special in Moyvalley.
We had our ceremony in the Stonehouse a beautiful building on site. It was absolutely perfect, very special. Our drinks and evening reception were all held the magnificent Balynhouse. The venue was set up exactly as we had imagined, thanks to the amazing team. The staff were excellent on the day especially Brendan who couldn't do enough for us. All our guests commented on how helpful all the staff were from the moment they arrived and on how well the day flowed. The team make weddings look easy. We had the most amazing day and we can't thank you enough. Everything was magical and perfect.

If you're on the lookout for an intimate wedding venue that's got it all then really consider Balyna House. This place totally exceeded our expectations, and we can't say enough good things about it. Balyna House offers exclusivity, on-site accommodations for all your guests, and the option to rent out the entire house, including staying onsite the night before and day 2 - it's really difficult to find all of that in a venue!

The team at Balyna House are incredible ( Ciara & Brendan THANK YOU), and the food is amazing. As the Bride and Groom, you want to hear those magic words: "No problem, we've got it covered," and they made sure everything ran like clockwork leading up to the day and on the day itself. Honestly, Balyna House is a hidden gem of a venue, and we couldn't be happier with our experience there. Highly recommend!

Well my son got married on the 17th of Feb the venue was fab but alot of stuff went missing after wedding his unity candles the brides shoes and my black jacket strange that no member of staff found them so not impressed

The staff at Moyvalley are the first to mention. Beautiful bunch of people who gave myself, my wife and all of our guests the weekend of a lifetime. Amazing team.
Honestly can't say anything in the shape of criticism. Moyvalley and Balyna House was the most perfect setting to have our wedding. Best day of my life.
Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing!!! Moyvalley is such a wonderful venue. Balyna house is soooo pretty and we just loved it
The staff in the hotel were amazing with every part of the day. Food was amazing. Everyone commented about how wonderful the food tasted and how amazing the service was.
Ciara? she was just the best. Very easy to deal with and so helpful. The day ran smoothly and we had the best time.

What an amazing day we had. More than we could have ever hoped for. Niamh our wedding co-ordinator was a dream to deal with. Helpfull the whole way along. Very quick to respond to any queries, extremely flexible and went above and beyond on the day to ensure everything went smoothly. We have had nothing but positive feedback from family and friends commenting on the beauty of the venue and how delicious the food was. The wait staff were soo lovely throughout the day right down to the bar man in the cellar bar that night. Soo accommodating and helpful. Thank you all for giving us the best day, we'd love nothing more than to do it all again!!

We had our wedding in Moyvalley in August of this year. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone there for such a wonderful day, especially Ciara, our wedding co-ordinator. Everything from the food to the rooms to the set up was done exactly as we wanted and we had the best day. The hotel and grounds are stunning and the staff were amazing, always helpful and friendly.

When viewing Moyvalley for our potential wedding venue we fell in love. The grounds, the stone house and most importantly the Balyna house. Its beautiful. We had two amazing wedding coordinators Ciara and Niamh. They have always been very helpful from the start. Answering any questions and giving there own suggestions. Couldnt recommend them enough! On the big day everything felt so relaxed and ran smoothly. We could not praise the staff enough. Everyone was very helpful and attentive throughout the whole day and the day two.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Brendan who was the manger in charge for our two days there. He was extremely helpful, always running around to make sure everything was going to plan. Anything we wanted or needed he made sure we had. He made both days run incredibly well. The amount of things he did without us even knowing. I couldn't find my bouquet the next morning and he without me knowing stored it away for me In the fridge to keep it fresh for me to take home. If you have Brendan on your day you don't need to worry about a thing!

Another thing we loved was that everyone of our guests could stay onsite with us. They have a hotel, cottages and of course the Balyna house. Even with all the accommodation the Balyna house still felt private and hidden away. The grounds at night are beautiful.

We couldn't recommend Moyvalley enough. Our day turned out better then we ever expected. We cannot wait to look back at all our beautiful photos of such a magical day.

Thank you to all the team who made it so special.

Gary and I got married in Moyvalley on 01/07/22. We had our ceremony in the stone house and reception in Balyna House. We wanted a venue that had everything on site but that was also separate to the hotel. We viewed a few venues that offered this style and unfortunately the prices were way over our budget. We reached out to Moyvalley back in 2019 and fell in love with the place. I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was than those other venues because it isn't a bit clear to see where any costs have been cut to achieve it. We dealt with Ciara Dowling along the way and what a gem she is!!! Her communication and organisation skills are second to none, honestly. She is personable and more importantly, she get its it. She gets how important the day is to not only the bride and groom but to everyone involved. I brought a whole host of stuff with me such as bathroom baskets, a guestbook, polaroid station sweet table, individual limericks for everyone at the table and Ciara said "leave those with me and I'll put everything out for you". This had me nervous because I had it in my mind how everything should look and she pulled it out of the bag! The place looked amazing, I was so happy. Next day we got up and everything we had brought was packed and waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs, all we had to do was put in the car! I could have done a shorter review but it wouldn't have done Ciara and the team any justice. Thank you so much for making our day so special and for keeping everything running as smoothly as you did.

Moyvalley is a gorgeous venue, we had our ceremony there (in the Stone House) and reception in Balyna House. We had so many positive comments from our guests. The staff were great, especially our wedding coordinator Ciara who we dealt with from the initial viewing to the wedding day itself. Always friendly and responsive to questions, which made the whole process very smooth. Food was excellent too, all in all a great experience.

I could not fault Moyvalley from the day we went to see the venue (even if it was during Covid) right up until we checked out the day after our wedding. Ciara, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day and that everything ran smoothly. The food and staff were exceptional. Even 2 months after the big day, our guests are still talking about them.

Moyvalley was amazing. Our day was exactly what we envisioned, Niamh was brilliant and always quick to respond to queries. She had everything covered. Staff and management on the day couldn't of done enough for us or our guests. We had all our photos taken on the grounds and they are beautiful. We couldn't fault the food, service etc. Everything was perfect and ran so smoothly

We cannot recommend Moyvalley enough.
We got engaged at the beginning of the first COVID19 lockdown, The hotel was closed due to restrictions, however when we walked around the grounds of Balyna House we knew this was the venue for us and we arranged an appointment to meet the wedding coordinators (the two Orlas) and we booked. Shortly after we were in contact with Ciara, a New addition to the team. Ciara was amazing the whole way through our planning process. Always on hand to answer my silly questions.
For our menu tasting, we were so impressed with the food and the staff. Catherine served us for this and she made us feel so at home. We knew we made the right choice of venue.
On the day of our wedding, as our car pulled up outside Balyna House we were greeted by Andrew & Ciara, who were on hand throughout the day.
Our guests were so impressed with the venue and the food. We cannot fault the staff, especially Claudia who took care of us at the top table and Daniel & Ross in the Residents bar. They were brilliant.
The next day we went over to the main hotel for breakfast, where we were greeted by Catherine who knew who we were the minute we walked through the door and made us feel so special.
A big thank you to the team in Moyvalley, most of all Ciara who made our day so special.
We cannot wait to go back for our Anniversary.

Absolutely fantastic wedding venue. We loved the idea of having ballyna house to ourselves and the guests felt very comfortable throughout the day. The staff on the day were also excellent and catered to everything we asked for to a very high standard. Food was absolutely incredible and we received many compliments from the guests. Our wedding co-ordinator Ciara was also fantastic, she couldn't do enough for us and really made the day come together as we always dreamed of. We couldn't recommend the venue enough.

We could not fault any part of the lead up to our Wedding Day or on the day itself. Everything was perfect. Emails were responded to very swiftly and Niamh our coordinator could not do enough for us. On the day the manager was excellent, asked were we happy with everything on numerous occasions. We had our speeches and drinks reception in Balyna House before moving over to the hotel for dinner. Doing this is Balyna house was perfect if you're looking for a something a little different and chilled. Would 100% recommend Moyvalley Hotel and Balyna House for a Wedding.

I cannot speak highly enough of Niamh and everyone else at Moyvalley. They were also so responsive and helpful. Nothing was ever a problem. We had our full day in Balyna house which was just a dream come through. The house is really beautiful and the food, service and staff were all so lovely. Very grateful, thank you!

From the moment I was in contact with Moyvalley, I knew this venue would be our wedding venue. I was initially dealing with Orla and when she left the business, we were handed over to Ciara and both ladies couldn't do more for us. The whole planning process was so enjoyable with the team and although we had no major requests, no request was too much. I really felt we were treated like royalty in the run up to our wedding and on our wedding. Every request was met and our whole wedding party were so well looked after. I know a bride that recently got married in a venue that won wedding of the year, and they were not half treated the way we were in Moyvalley. The team are so lovely and across the 3 days, they got to know all our guests by name and it really felt that we were all in one resort on a massive holiday, (we got very lucky with the weather also). Ciara is so lovely and popped into me the night before the wedding to check I was ok and assured me everything was looked after. The venue was perfect, it was spotlessly clean and everyone just had the best time. We got married in the Stone House which was beautifully decorated by Elderwoods Decor and we had stunning flowers included in our package with Moyvalley, I was so taken aback at how stunning they were & they ensured to ask what colours I liked to keep in line with our theme. There was one small hiccup in our late bar however the staff assisted the next day and it was all forgotten about. The bar staff were absolutely fantastic on our second day in Balyna House, we had a BBQ booked for our guests and we were genuinely shocked with how amazing the food was. My family told me they were never at a wedding where they felt so well looked after, there was always food, none of this awkward standing around waiting to be fed and the food was amazing. If the setting of this venue isn't enough to make you want to book it for your day, the staff will. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue, it was so perfect.

Thank you to the staff for making our day what it was, you guys are a credit.

We got married in December 2021. The service at Moyvalley was amazing. They were so flexible and supportive throughout the wedding planning process. I would highly recommend the hotel. Balyna house is simply stunning. The venue, the staff, the grounds, the service are all exceptional. We had a fantastic day and so did our guests.

From start to finish the staff in Moyvalley was amazing! We were dealing with Niamh and nothing was an issue! We stayed for 3 days, we got ready the morning of and I would highly recommend it, myself and my bridal party stayed in one of the lovely cottages the night before, it was so easy for hair and makeup to come as there is plenty of space! The night of our wedding we stayed in the Balyna house which is beautiful we also had our drinks reception there! We had our reception in the hotel, it meant our guests got to see every aspect Moyvalley has to offer! I would highly recommend Moyvalley as a wedding venue! Thank you to all the staff at Moyvalley

Niamh and Ciara were so helpful and understanding with all my requests and worries. They were always at the end of the phone or available to answer an email. The girls work so hard to ensure your day is perfect and runs smoothly. I loved the venue and the package with Moyvalley. They were flexible and accomodating in comparison to other venues we had visited. We got so many compliments and comments from our guests on the venue and on the Ballyna House. It was such a magical day, made that much sweeter having had such great staff to work with. Thanks so much to all the team and especially Ciara & Niamh.

The staff were absolutely amazing, from our pre wedding meetings, right up until our day, we couldn't of been more pleased with everything on our day. The food was amazing, all of our guests mentioned it on and after our day. Balyna house was exceptional, we had our reception drinks here and it was just beautiful, the grounds outside were amazing for our pictures also. Cannot fault anything on our day and would definitely recommend it to couples

Unfortunately the wedding didn't happen yet as we had to postpone it till next year.
But so far Moyvalley has been very good to deal with the postponement and viewings etc.
I will come back with a full review after we actually get married!

We fell in love with Balyna House from our first viewing and right from the get go the team was so friendly & professional. Covid meant there where a lot of changes/ contingency plans as guidance on numbers/ bands etc changed a number of times but the Team @ Moyvalley where super flexible and reassured us the whole was through and made adjustments to our booking without any pushback/challenge - they aligned to Government guidelines and didn't penalise us in any way. Our wedding coordinator did change a couple of times (as we booked over a year in advance) but the last few months in the run up to our big day Niamh Reilly was our main point of contact and we where in very safe hands- any feedback/ suggestions or requests that we had where never any trouble and the day went off without a hitch. The Hotel & Balyna House is stunning, staff where top class/ very professional, we also booked Phil Hayes the inhouse florist and she did a fantastic job on both our outside ceremony space and rooms/ centrepieces inside the main house. The whole team on the day (and breakfast the day after!) where all so friendly, the food was amazing and plentiful - we got lots of great feedback from all our guests. Overall it externally good value for money ; ) we would highly recced this to any couples looking for a great venue, fab food and 5 start service ;)

Balyna House in Moyvalley was a beautiful location for our wedding reception, and the Stonehouse was perfect for our ceremony, and our guests could stay at the hotel, so we could have everything in the one location which was brilliant. We couldn't have asked more from all the staff, so responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend!

We booked Moyvalley as our wedding venue back in july 2018 and from the minute we walked into Balyna house, we just knew that it would be the perfect place for us and our day. The grounds are stunning and the entire team are extremely professional and responsive. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic wasn't easy but both Orla Flanagan and Orla Beegan helped to take the stress away. After moving our date a few times we decided to brush ahead and have our wedding on the 7th November, in the height of lockdown with just 6 weeks to plan and organise it all. We couldn't have done it without the help of both coordinators. Our day ran so smoothly and Balyna house was the most perfect venue for a small wedding. All of our guests mentioned that the day felt so normal with a good atmosphere and that is definately down to how the team at Moyvalley handled everything in a very pragmatic way. They went above and beyond for us. Everything was perfect on the day; the food, the entertainment, the bar staff, the value. We couldn't recommend this venue any more than we do and we cannot wait to return in the future.

Cannot recommend Moyvalley hotel and golf resort enough for a wedding! Our wedding co-ordinator Orla Beegan was a pleasure to deal with and had our best interests at heart during all the planning and preparation in the lead up to our special day!
There was so much uncertainty in the last few months and in particular the last couple of weeks and days leading up to the wedding. The staff at this venue were all so accommodating and it was clear that they would do absolutely anything to help us have the day we so desperately wanted. I have read horror stories the last number of weeks of different hotels and how bride and grooms to be are being treated and we feel so lucky and blessed that we chose to have our wedding at Moyvalley.
All the staff on duty from the moment we arrived to the moment we left were amazing, happy, helpful and good fun! Cian was a pleasure to have around overseeing everything in Balyna house and everyone is still talking about Ryan the bar man!
We will absolutely be recommending this hotel to others who are planning a wedding. We cannot wait to go back on our anniversary!!

We were very happy with moyvalley hotel, Ryan was exceptional, throughout our stay also, orla Beegan event manager, who was very helpful from the start.

I couldn't recommend Moy Valley enough. Both orlas who were our wedding planners were amazing. Great to deal with pre wedding. Nothing was as issue. The staff were amazing. There was so many of them on the day of the wedding serving. All our guests mentioned this, very attentive. The food was 100%. And extra bits were no problem to the staff. The day ran smoothly and the venue was perfect. Thanks to all at MoyValley

We had our wedding reception in Balyna House and it was bloody great. Theres a lot of planning that goes into the day and the two Orlas and Niamh were just exellent in helping it be an easy process in the months building up to the day. They also gave brilliant advise on our food choices for the meal which was seriously appreciated. The house itself is just a class location and you get a hell of a lot of bang for your buck. We were taken aback when we arrived after the ceremony at how class, warm and welcoming the venue was even after we had visited to view during the buildup. With it being a chriustmas wedding the decorations just added more to it all also. Basically, if you are looking for a manor house type wedding all in one location where all your guests can stay onsite at a brilliant price with absolutely incredible staff...then this is the place for you. If you plan to be real specific with your needs also...just ask the question to one of the two Orlas or Niamh and they will get it sorted easy. Happy days...enjoy

We got married in November 2019 and we had our reception and day two in Balyna house. From start to finish the staff were incredible and really made our whole weekend so special. All of our guests commented on how amazing all the staff were, from breakfast to bar staff and most of our guests stayed for 3 days and the level of service was consistently 5 star. Andrew and the two Orlaghs couldn't do enough for us also and without their expertise I doubt everything could have ran so smoothly. Any concern we had was managed straight away and we were made feel as though our wedding was as important to them as it was to us.
The grounds and house itself is beautiful and I couldn't recommend taking a look more to really appreciate it. We had 70 guests and balyna house was perfectly sized for us.
We have visited several times for food in the past and it has always been great and our wedding was no exception. Even though we had several dietary requirements for our guests nothing was ever too much trouble.
Bottom line if you are considering Moyvalley & Balyna House for your wedding, just book it. You will NOT be disappointed! The staff are second to none and the surroundings are stunningly picturesque, and with the two 0rlas and Andrew you are in incredibly safe and experienced hands. Thanks to all at moyvalley who made our day so special!

Orla and Orla were excellent wedding coordinators. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were extremely responsive on emails,replying to any little question we had. They both made sure that we had an exceptional wedding day and didnt have to worry about anything. All of our guests raved about the food, the venue and the staff at Moyvalley. We couldnt have been happier with our whole experience. Thank you to everyone at Moyvalley who went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect.

We recently had our wedding in moyvalley ! It was absolutely the best day of our lives ! We had our reception in Balyna house which was stunning ! The guests commented on the amount of food that was served at the reception and how good it tasted! Our dinner was in the main part of the hotel . The dinner itself was fantastic no complaints . Orla Flannagan and all the staff at Moyvalley we?re fantastic . Nothing was a problem . Even down to extra bread at 3am for tatyo sandwiches . We couldn't not fault Moyvalley . They made organizing our wedding so enjoyable and easy ! I wish we could do it all again! X

There is a lot more expensive venues which we found would not have delivered or there were a few untidy bits which makes you think, for that price the wallpaper should not fall of the wall when attending viewings.
We found the Balyna House the best Wedding Vennue on earth.
Had the perfect day. Sunshine and all.
What more do you want.

Service was brilliant! Every member of staff went out of their way to accommodate us and our guests. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was polite and friendly.

We got married in Moyvalley in September and it was an unbelievable experience and we could not fault it in any way, even down to having the red carpet perfectly centred in relation to where you take your vows in the stonehouse. The venue is like something out of a fairytale and Orla and the rest of her team are just exceptional. I would like to give a special mention to one of the bar staff named Dylan, he is one of the best barmen and servers that we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was a pleasure to meet and was always there anticipating what the customers would need and reacting accordingly and he never left anyone else waiting in serving. All I can really say is Moyvalley is a perfect location for a wedding and Dylan is a perfect gentleman & barman if you really want to be made feel special.

Can't thank the staff enough for all their hard work on our wedding day. It was absolutely fantastic and wouldn't change a thing. Food and venue was just perfect. I am so glad we decided to go with Moyvalley. All the guests had such lovely comments about the venue and staff. Wish we could do it all again. Niamh and Carl xx

would highly recommend moyvalley. the attention to detail was fantastic. we had ceremony in the stonehouse and reception in balyna house. it's different which is what we wanted, the country style house and with the hotel and cottages so close any guests who wanted to stay could so we weren't limited by that. Food and service on the day was great. we had so many compliments from guests on the venue. thanks for everything.

Moyvalley was an amazing venue for our wedding! We had our civil ceremony & drinks reception in Balyna House, dinner in the main hotel and the after party in the cellar bar of Balyna House. Everything about the hotel was amazing. The staff, food, rooms, venue, setting were fantastic. We want to say a hugh thank you to Orla Beegan, Orla Flanagan and all the staff who were so great with all the wedding planning and also on the day of the wedding. All of our guests also loved the venue and we received so many compliments afterwards. I would highly recommend Moyvalley to anyone looking for their wedding location!

Our experience with Moyvalley and the staff was exceptional - from the moment we first visited (and shown around by Barry) to leaving the day after our wedding! The attention to detail and consistency was exemplary! Orla Flanagan and Orla Beegan, the wedding coordinators, made the planning process so easy and relaxed, I don't think I ever waited more than a day for a reply from them, and every question or request was met enthusiasm and always followed through on.

Moyvalley provided us with 3 great locations to celebrate our wedding - the Stone House for our ceremony, Balyna House for our drinks reception and evening reception and the Royal Canal Suite in the main hotel for dinner. It's unique and perfect for what we wanted. Balyna House is beautiful, our guests loved it and it provided a gorgeous backdrop for photos! We wanted a manor style/country house vibe to celebrate in and Moyvalley had the main hotel and cottages for all of our guests to stay in so it ticked all of our boxes!

The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a couple of guests who had special dietary requirements and they all commented how well they were catered to, from the canapes to the evening buffet - lots of options in plentiful supply. The staff were so courteous and every little request was anticipated and dealt with ASAP.

The only regret we have is forgetting to thank them in the speeches - sorry guys!! THANK YOU for a great day....can't thank you enough!! :) Hayley & Mark

The most magical winter Wedding
. From the moment we drive up the avenue to when we were greeted in the Manor house was just beyond perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning. Old style Charm in the manor house to perfect function room with candle arbors. I highly recommend this venue. The food is beautiful and the staff amazing. We had the best weekend ever. They went above and beyond our expectations. THANK YOU

We couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue! Organizing a wedding in Ireland when you live in Australia can be stressful but Orla Flanagan and everyone at Moyvalley are experts at what they do. Balyna House is an exceptional backdrop for an incredible day (non weather dependant) and it's great that guests have three choices of accommodation (hotel, cottages or Balyna House). We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute, the food and service was great.

Nothing was too much trouble and Orla and her team were very quick to get back to our emails and requests.

Thanks a million Moyvalley for giving us exactly what we were hoping for, we wouldn't change a thing.

We had the best day! Orla, Simon and all the team at Moyvalley were outstanding. The staff were all so friendly and helpful throughout the weekend. My husband stayed in one of the cottages the week before the wedding and everyone was so lovely. We had the full day in Blayna House which was amazing. Everyone commented on how personal the venue was and it was like having a wedding in your house. The food was amazing. Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have asked for more.

I would highly highly recommend Balyna House as a wedding venue. From the first meeting with Orla Flanagan, one of the wedding coordinators there, everything was smooth sailing. She made sure our reception was exactly what we had planned. The food was amazing, the staff were so polite and curteous and the house itself is stunning. What an amazing day we had there.

We hand our wedding here in June, 2018. We availed of Balyna House for our afternoon - the receptions rooms and the garden was pefect for the sunny day outside music and drinks vibe we wanted. The weather and the service didn't disappoint on the day. All parts of the afternoon went perfect.

We used the hotel golf cart to access remote parts of the estate for some fantastic photo opportunities.

We moved to the hotel for the dinner and dancing and all aspects went smoothly. The staff attended to everything perfectly and the coordinator was on hand to ensure this for the day. The evening went off flawlessly and we retired to the cellar bar for the late drink and this was brilliant and even had some crisps sandwiches on standby which went down very well with all the guests.

In all. From the start of the planning we received excellent support and service from the two Orlas and their staff. Having both had our and having been a guest at a wedding here I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it to anyone who is on the fence. great location too for a wedding away from the hustle of Dublin but still accessiable.

One word.superbly amazing.professional from first meeting until saying goodbye after our wedding weekend.Don't look anywhere else.truly amazing team.

We had our wedding at Balyna House last weekend, it was the most amazing day of our lives. We would love to be doing it all over again! Orla Beegan and all the team at Moyvalley were superb in every way possible. Our guests are still talking about our venue, from the beautiful stone house where we held our ceremony to the stunning Balyna House where we had our reception. The food was out of this world, the service, the atmosphere, the setting, it was all just perfect. We found Orla and everyone at Moyvalley very professional, efficient and lovely to deal with, which made our planning so much easier. I cannot recommend Moyvalley & Balyna House highly enough. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special.

Moyvalley is such a stunning venue and the team there are incredible! Orla F was our wedding coordinator and she was fantastic from day one! Simon & Barry were also there on the day and were so so so helpful! Everything from the venue to the food was perfect and it was the best day of our lives!

We held our wedding and celebrations over two wonderful nights in Moyvalley Hotel on the 14th of April 2018.
We held our wonderful occasion in all three venues available in the hotel, with our ceremony in the beautiful intimate stone house, our drinks reception, family accommodation and second day in the spectacular Balyna House, and our main reception and guest accommodation in the hotel.
Words can't do justice to how much Moyvalley as a venue and their wonderful staff made this weekend the best of our lives. The smile still hasn't left our faces, and never will.
People make a place, and the people who work at Moyvalley made our wedding incredibly special for us. Friendly, obliging and very good at what they do - Orla Flanagan and her team and all of the staff at the hotel catered to our every need and made the day and whole weekend run smoothly. There was nothing that couldn't be done for us and some of the things the hotel did for us such as providing a fridge and microwave to prepare and store our new-born's bottles made us feel so special. The attention to detail and organisation meant all we had to do was sit back and relax and enjoy the day.
When planning our wedding we knew we wanted two nights and felt that it would work best if the entire venue was self-contained for both nights so that our guests could relax and unwind at their leisure but not have to move too far from their accommodation. We wanted somewhere far enough from home in Dublin that it felt like we were getting away but not too far to travel. When we first entered the gates to the hotel and drove through the beautiful grounds, past the stunning Balyna house we knew we could be on to a winner. We were holding a humanist ceremony and wanted a separate venue for the ceremony from the hotel room where we would dine. We fell in love with the Stone House the minute we set foot there. During the ceremony this intimate, atmospheric room brought our guests together with us for our special day.
We held our drinks reception, and second day BBQ in Balyna house. It is a classic grand country house, with a spectacular central staircase and chandeliers leading to the guest rooms. There is a warm bar with fireplace, reception room and another grand dining room looking out over the gardens. We took many of our photos inside Balyna house, the house was the perfect backdrop and it meant we were never too far from the party! We especially loved the basement bar for our wedding night residents bar. The bar staff were fantastic both nights, and the basket of tayto was a nice touch!
We had our main reception, dinner and dancing in the hotel itself. The room was dressed beautifully, and laid out exactly as we had asked for. There is a wonderful choice of food available in Moyvalley, we chose to go with Beef and Seabass for our main courses. The food was very nice, well received by all, and the hotel were happy to cater for any dietary requirement. We had 120 people at our meal, the room was perfect for this size, it didn't feel too big or too small, and there wasn't much movement required for us to set up the band, DJ and dancefloor and dance the night away.
Our guests were impressed with the hotel accommodation and the breakfast and food, all slept and ate well during the weekend. A special mention needs to go to the rooms in Balyna house. Our family and wedding party stayed here for the weekend. The rooms were absolutely amazing. We felt like royalty staying there.
Overall, we cannot recommend Moyvalley hotel enough. We had the best weekend of our lives there, and cannot wait to come back on our year anniversary. Thanks once more to Orla and all of the staff at the hotel, you made the weekend special just for us. Linda, Colm and baby Fionn.

We couldn't fault moyvalley in any way! Stunning venue and amazing service!

I recently got married in balyna house in moyvalley hotel. We had our full reception in balyna house. I could not recommend the hotel and staff enough. The service they offered was second to none very professional very organised very flexible. The staff were so helpful and it was so nice to feel relaxed and know that all would be looked after and looked after so well. The facilities were great the food was fantastic and the staff very accomadating. The rooms and accommodation were brilliant. I would highly recommended the Hotel to any couple looking to get married.

We had an amazing wedding at Moyvalley. Could not fault anything, staff are so friendly and helpful and Orla the wedding coordinator is always a step ahead. She thought of everything before we did and was so accommodating with any special requests.

We recently celebrated our wedding reception at Balyna House and our entire day was all we ever dreamed of! From the moment we arrived at the venue we were just blown away with the service we received. Our guests were all so complimentary of the staff And food at Balyna House.
We cannot thank the wedding team enough. A really special mention to Orla Flanagan who was there with us every step of our amazing journey. Orla was an absolute god send and was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had.
We honestly couldn't have asked for more from the venue. Balyna House is truly an exceptional wedding venue and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. I would highly reccomended anyone looking for an intimate venue to arrange a viewing.
Wishing the wedding team at Moyvalley continued success and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had a great day. The planning process was stress free. The day itself, we didnt have to think about anything. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone

We had the most amazing day at Moyvalley.

Living in England, we shortlisted many hotel wedding venues to view over a weekend. We were very disappointed by many of the castles and manor houses where you could only use the lovely rooms on the website for a very small number of guests or for photos. On our last evening, a friend recommended visiting Moyvalley.

Right from the drive up to the venue we were very impressed, rolling fields and beautiful scenery. We fell in love with the Stone house where we had our ceremony and Balyna house, where we had our drinks reception. These two parts of the venue- all within a very short walk from each other, are so incredibly beautiful and unique. They also require very little additional decorations as they are full of character. The food provided for the drinks reception was so plentiful, beautifully presented and delicious. Some of our guests felt too full for dinner- which is very unusual at weddings as the canapés are usefully snapped up by those near the door!

The Royal Canal Suite, where we held our wedding breakfast, is a typically wedding function room. It is well set out with a lovely view of the stone cottage courtyard- great for cake cutting photos! The meal was lovely (guests really raved about it). The bar is also in the room, so you don't lose half of your guests to bar chatting! There was also plenty of room for the photo booth. Evening food and the cake were put on the gusts table which was brilliant a idea as it was all eaten.

Another huge selling point of this venue, along with its lovely grounds, great staff, three venues in one and great food, is the hotel itself. When we were looking for hotels in August, an overarching theme at many of those we viewed was just how busy and chaotic they felt as people had gone there for spa breaks. Moyvalley didn't have these guests as it doesn't have a spa- but it doesn't need it. We basically had the whole hotel for the weekend, alongside with some golfers! Which made the weekend even better and more intimate. It always feels very calm.

The accommodation is lovely, especially the Stone cottages (perfect for bridal preparations) and the rooms in Balyna House ( amazing bridal Suite). The after hours cellar bar is one of the most beautiful bars, stunning.

Overall, Moyvalley is a total gem and very reasonably priced. Orla and Barry can make your dreams come true. Our guests loved it too.

Excellent service in a beautiful venue

I can't say enough good things about moyvalley the manor house was amazing ! All our guests were blown away not only with the venue but the food . aisling was amazing and so helpful. staff were amazing and on top of everything , not only on the day of the wedding but at the bbq the second day .

Excellent value for money excellent venue always happy to help, happy for all your ideas

Very enjoyable experience
Staff were very attentive made sure all our needs were met..
Food was excellent

Balyna house is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. There are not many places in Ireland where you have facilities and freedom like you do here and especially for the cost. Everything was second to none, the bedrooms, the decor, the staff and the food was to die for. Nothing to too big to ask for, they are so accommodating to all our requests. We had a few mix ups with rooms and everything was death with so smoothly. We had the entire day in the house from the ceremony to the drinks reception to dinner and dancing. We were even lucky enough to have an outdoor ceremony in the back patio and it was so incredible. The cellar bar in the basement is an added bonus where you can stay on to the wee hours of the night. The on joining hotel is your standard Irish hotel which is great to have for guests to stay but Balyna house is where the gem is! Could not recommend it more.

You won't go wrong with The Suite. Excellent band!

Our dance floor was hopping from start to finish!

Tina was great to respond to our e-mails and the lads in the band were great and looked the part.

Book The Suite!

I could write a full essay but I already did for evoke.ie!!! Everything from the moment we stepped into Balyna House, to the moment we met Orla, Lynn and Aisling (the wedding team), right up until the day itself, was literally a breeze. The guys there were legends, making everything so easy, and so friendly too!! You felt like you knew them all your life really! As a groom doing the majority of organising, it was great craic! The professionalism they display there cannot be beaten, the food was gorgeous, the setting was so personal and private, the dancefloor was full and we knew it was a success when we got thank you cards before we sent out our own! People commented - genuinely - at length about the venue, with several now booking it for 50th birthdays etc. Honestly, if you had told us 12 months before that that is how our day would turn out in Balyna House - carefree, hassle-free, beautiful surroundings, etc - we would have taken your hand off for it!!

Overall we had an amazing experience at Moyvalley; the wedding co-ordinators were very responsive to dealing with all our email queries prior to the wedding and nothing seemed to be a hassle. We had our wedding ceremony in the Stone House and reception in Balyna House; both beautiful venues and provided plenty of fantastic photos. We also held a 2nd night party at Balyna house; the cellar bar was definitely a hit with out guests! As we are based overseas, we liked the idea of holding all events in one venue and this was appreciated by our guests. It was fantastic to have all our guests on-site; the cottages are lovely and Balyna House is simply stunning. We had access to both the ceremony and reception rooms the day before so had plenty of time to set it up as we wished. On the day itself, Orla and Aisling were calm and patient with last minute requests/issues and Barry was fantastic at overseeing the evening part. In fact, all the staff were amazing especially the bar staff who kept us entertained during our time at the venue.

Balyna House provided a unique and quaint backdrop for our humanist wedding. Moyvalley Hotel, which is a short walk through a courtyard provided the space for our traditional reception and accommodation for all guests. It was a stress-free experience working with the staff at Moyvalley to organise our wedding.

It's hard to put in to words how fantastic Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort is as a wedding venue and how great the staff are, but I will try to capture it in this review the best I can.
We had a lot of guests coming from the UK so needed a venue not too far from Dublin Airport with lots of accommodation options available. From the very first viewing we fell in love with Balyna House and knew in particular due to the accommodation options it was going to be our wedding venue. We had about 90 guests and held our wedding ceremony in Stone House and wedding reception in Balyna House in October 2016. Orla, Simon, Barry and Sara went above and beyond to cater to all our needs as well as our guests. When I met or spoke to them I felt so reassured, I never worried and they always offered suggestions and advice if required. They are a first-class professional team.
Between the Hotel, Balyna House and cottages it catered to our accommodation needs, nothing was ever a problem for the staff to provide. We ended up having a two-day wedding between in Balyna House and from start to finish the staff, service, food just everything was outstanding. Ann in the restaurant in particular, was wonderful to deal with. Our guests are still raving about the venue as well and the food and accommodation.
I would strongly recommend using Sheefin Florists for all wedding flowers as well as decoration of Balyna House ? superb service from Aoife and her team ? the florist had been recommended by Moyvalley. Also, if you want a Harpist for the drinks reception or ceremony, Ann Tuite.
Orla who is the Wedding & Event Coordinator, is exceptional in her role and as I mentioned above, makes sure everything is running smoothly in the background on the day.
I highly recommend this venue. If Balyna House is available for the 2 days make sure you have a BBQ on the 2nd day, regardless of the time of year, it gives you that extra time with your guests to reminisce on the events of the day before and as you have full use of the house, you have your own bar for the night ? so it's a cosy relaxing night in too.
Anyone looking for a wedding venue look no further!
It truly was an outstanding wedding weekend that none of us will ever forget.
Thank you again to everyone in Moyvalley for making our wedding so perfect.

Matt & Colette Hailes

We had our wedding reception at Moyvalley Hotel and Balyna House Hotel and we couldn't rate the hotel, our wedding coordinator Orla and all the staff enough. Orla was always so friendly, helpful and professional. We feel she went above and beyond to make sure our day was going to run smoothly! On the day we felt so special, the venue looked fantastic, food was beautiful and all the staff were so helpful and polite to us and all our guests. Everyone commented on the food and the gorgeous venue...the brekkie the next morning also went down a treat! We have since been back to celebrate my Nanny's 80th! I would definitely recommend Moyvalley to any future brides.

Our wedding planner Orla was great, she was always working away in the background making sure our day went smoothly. The wedding reception in Balyna House was lovely, and using the cottages for accomodation made it a memorable and comfortable stay for everyone.

I couldn't rate Lynn and her team any higher for their customer service. From the day we went to view Moyvalleys Balyna house we knew it was going to be the perfect wedding venue for us. We had only 5 weeks notice from the date we viewed it to the wedding day and they told us it was not a problem and it really wasn't. Everything was perfect on the day, they could not of done anymore for us or our guests and went above any beyond many times!
I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a personal experience, in a beautiful, quiet setting. The food was delicious and plentiful. Our guests were all very complimentary on the venue and the staff too. We rate it 10 out of 10 and cannot wait to come back, hopefully on our anniversary later this year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day at Balyna House. Orla Flanagan was our wedding co-ordinator and she was excellent and so helpful in the run up to and on the big day. All our requests or special needs were dealt with promptly. The venue was fantastic, the service was excellent and we cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did for us. We highly recommend Balyna as a wedding venue.

Had my wedding in Moyvalley on the 17th June 2016. I had my ceremony in Balyna House and reception in the hotel. Can't fault the hotel on anything, They were so helpful in every way, Lynn who was my wedding coordinator was on hand all day and Derek who is the hotel manager was there all day as well. I honestly can say i have no complaints to make and would highly recommend this venue.

It was just an awesome find within our meager budget. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We also had an unusual format (small family ceremony and meal, followed by large evening reception) and wanted a manor house which Moyvalley were able to cater for. We'd done a lot of research of venues and few could cater to this format, especially within our budget.

Our experience across the full Moyvalley team was extremely professional and helpful from the get-go. Orla (our coordinator) and all other members of the hotel team ensured that the entire planning process was enjoyable and relaxed throughout (even in the midst of Storm Desmond arriving the night before the wedding ????). We used the Stone House for our ceremony, which was beautiful and intimate, and Balyna House for the rest of our day. We could not recommend it enough as a wedding venue.

We only booked our wedding with less than 6mths planning. We looked at so many venues but only Baylna House ticked all our boxes. From the initial meeting, dealing with the staff was of high, professional standard. The wedding co-ordinator Lynn would take our calls and reply to emails promptly. We had our ceremony in the stone house and reception in Balyna house. The setting was amazing and like another world. We stayed in the cottages the night before of and after. The staff couldn't do enough for us and our guests. On the wedding day itself everything went smoothly even though I was 45minutes late walking down the aisle. The food was so tasty and plenty of it. Service was so fast. Usually at weddings the top table are finished eating when other tables are only getting their food but there was enough staff to serve all tables nearly at once. We received a fabulous gift from the hotel when leaving which was a lovely touch. We know where we will be staying for our future anniversaries.Thank you Moyvalley for making our special day so memorable and perfect. We wish we could do it all again.

I had my Wedding on the grounds of Moyvalley Hotel and Golf resort in September and I cannot rate my experience high enough. We had our ceremony in the Stone House and it was so beautifully decorated that it was a magical experience walking up the aisle. The reception was held in Balyna House and I could not have asked for a beautiful venue to share with my family on my special day. The meal was fabulous, my guest were very impressed. It was beautifully presented and hot, which in my experience is a rare compliment. So a big thank you to the chefs and waiters and waitresses on the day. You are the hidden gems in the hospitality industry.

A special thanks to Barry, he kept a very cool head on the day when the little things went wrong!

And lastly a huge thanks to Orla, the Wedding and Events Coordinator. From the start she was just as excited for my Wedding as myself and my now hubby were. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for us to make the day as special as it was. There was nothing I had to do but turn up, get beautified, get married and have fun. Orla and her amazing Team did the rest.

I cannot recommed Moyvalley Hotel enough to other Brides-to-be. So if you are reading this and think of having your wedding there, go check it out you will fall in love with it instantly. Simon, has created a brilliant staff team and it was an absolute pleasure to share my day with them.

Thanks again to all.

Great hotel. Beautiful surroundings. Our wedding planner Lana is since gone but she was fantastic along with many other staff especially the staff that have kept Moyvalley open for so long. Great experience.
