“Dear Derek, Tina, Niamh, Amanda and all the team in Bellinter House, We truly want to thank all of you for all your help, coordination and professionalism in making our wedding day so special. We and all the guests had a truly exceptional day on Saturday 5th March 2022 with very happy and special memories. Thanks to Derek, Tina and all the team on the day, everything went very smoothly and we were very relaxed. We were able to enjoy every minute of the day and all the fun in the knowledge everything was looked after. The feedback on the house, grounds, staff, food and rooms was 5 stars! Our guests felt very welcomed and gave a special mention to the reception staff and smooth check in. Thank you, Amanda and Niamh, for being very responsive to all our emails and paying attention to our requests on the day! We also love the painting of Bellinter House which is now hanging in our living room to remind us of our very special day. Thank you. We cannot believe it has been 10 weeks since our wedding day and we want to apologise for the delay in sending this email! The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. Thank you again for everything and we look forward to staying with you again soon, Hannah and Cathal”

“Hi Niamh, Amanda and Tina Things are finally beginning to settle again after the wedding so we're getting time to send some thank you to the people who made the entire weekend such an amazing experience. We can't thank you and the team at Bellinter enough. Our guests were treated like royalty and everyone raved about how incredible your people were. So friendly, funny, chatty, and above all, welcoming. The food and wine went down a storm and the beautiful gift you left in our bedroom was beyond kind. Bellinter House will always be part of our house now too. Thank you so much, it was such a lovely touch. I wish we could remember the names of everyone who helped make our wedding so special, but if you could pass on our heartfelt thanks to the crew there, we would be really grateful. I think we need to come back to see your Christmas decorations over the next few weeks, so you never know, our paths might cross again soon. Thanks for everything folks! We really appreciate it. Love Gina & Alex Mulvagh x”

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 were 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...

“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.”

“Dear Niamh, Amanda, Denise, Tina, Ger and every one at Bellinter House, Alan and I want to thank you all so much for our beautiful wedding reception at Bellinter on 20th February. From our first phone call with Niamh three weeks before the wedding to waving bon Voyage as Mr and Mrs Boyle the day, everything was perfect. No ask was too much and everything was accepted with a smile and a bit of craic. You made what was quite stressful (planning a reception in three weeks) a very joyous time and very quickly the stress was gone as we knew we were dealing with an expert wedding venue. The day was beautiful from start to finish, with the champagne (and umbrellas) greeting us at door, to the drinks reception, the beautiful dinner and breakfast (food was divine) and our chilled out post dinner drinks. We soon forgot that there was only 6 guests. On the day, the staff were so attentive especially Tina and Ger, even learning the names of our guests, which was so nice to hear. The chats and craic were had too which made it extra special. In such strange times, you made the day feel so normal and we are so happy with our day that we cannot now imagine it any other way. From the bottom of our hearts and our guests’ hearts, thank you so so much again. We cannot wait to visit again soon and looking forward to celebrating many a wedding anniversary at Bellinter! 😁 Kind Regards, Aisling and Alan Boyle”

“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 incredible stressful and worry some time, all the joy had been sucked out of our wedding planning journey. The kind heartedness 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.

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

1st February 2021
Dear Bellinter House Hotel, Myself and Deirdre had our wedding with you in 1st February 2021 and your team guided us through on the day effortlessly (which was saying something as we are in the longest lockdown yet, during a global pandemic, and roughly a month and a half notice of our wedding plans!). We knew we were in safe hands from the moment we spoke with Niamh and the team who helped guide us through everything we needed for the big day here. We had a fantastic and unforgettable time, you really helped put the ‘special’ back into ‘our special day’ after months of uncertainty and re-planning guest numbers. Service and food on the day was amazing; our six guests and suppliers couldn’t get over how inviting and helpful staff were. This made everything enjoyable and stress-free. We wouldn’t have been able to have the day we had without your help so please pass on our thanks and appreciation to everyone at Bellinter House. We hope to get back to see you all soon! Best wishes for 2021 and beyond, Tadhg & Deirdre
