What Ailsing & Kevin say, July 2026

Where do we start… Ballykealey House, thank you for giving us the most AMAZING day, it was just brilliant.

From the moment we stepped in Ballykealey House we just knew it had something special about it, from the stunning building to the beautiful grounds, the woodlands and gorgeous room for dinner it stood out for all these reasons but the main thing that stood out was the staff.

Richael greeted us when we arrived for our appointment and honestly from that moment every single interaction we had with any member of staff was exactly what we wanted, warm, friendly, professional and funny and made us feel at home and so so welcome.

I don’t even know where to start in thanking everyone single member of staff at Ballykealey House.

Richael, thank you for everything, for the emails and excellent communication and listening to us and advising us on different decisions in planning our day (even last-minute ones)!

Luke – you are just brilliant, your personality made our experience and your professionalism, you are an expert in what you do and I trusted every bit of advice you had for us that made our day run smoothly and relaxed, from when you came over to us in Powder room you handled everything perfectly.

Alison, thank you for being so organised and walking me to the ceremony area and again everything just went so smoothly because of how organised you all were as a team together!

Other names I remember, Lakisha who greeted us when we arrived before and Mary who looked after us with snacks and other gorgeous member of staff who kept a canape tray just for me making sure I ate!

Wesley thank you for being an outstanding Co- Ordinator on our wedding day, you took care of us on our meal tasting evening when you were amazing also. You were there when I needed you at the exact time throughout the day (I don’t know how you do that !) you were an absolute gent and again made our day run smoothly.

Conor, again you were at our meal tasting and made the effort to come over to the top table on the day of the wedding to say hi and a hug, actually felt like we knew all of you as friends that’s how welcoming you all were.

Big thank you to Tom who looked after us the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding, you are brilliant and made sure everyone was looked after with taxis etc.

Our wedding day was magic, the venue was absolutely stunning, we had a very warm day, so we were able to get married in the Woodlands, which was beautiful, the reception on the lawn was perfect, the drinks and canapes went down a treat.

The food was absolutely gorgeous! (Thank you Chef!) We had so many comments from our guests about the food and how gorgeous it was and how it was one of the best weddings they were at, and honestly guys that is thanks to each member of staff at Ballykealey House.

I was stopped by a guest who said, ‘ How did I find this place, that it was gorgeous and she wanted to show her sister who was engaged so she could get married there! ‘

So can we do it all again!!!???

Thank you for the most amazing memories.
