What Rebecca & Thomas say, July 2026

Ballykealey exceeded all of our exceptions as a wedding venue. From the moment we set foot in the building we were welcomed with a warm presence from all of the staff. Richael walked us through the venue and we were sold!
Throughout the lead up to the wedding, Richael, Angela, Alison, Luke and all of the wedding team helped us with every question and query. There was no silly question and communication was brilliant.

It was so nice to meet lots of the staff at the food tasting and we really enjoyed staying over and getting to spend time in the venue before the big day. Ballykealey is such a gorgeous venue.

We had our ceremony onsite in the woodlands, our reception and speeches at the fountain and our day two at the barnyard. We just loved the grounds and how exclusive it felt. The day of the wedding was just amazing.
The staff couldn’t do enough for us! From Angela holding my dress as we walked from the powder room to the woodlands and Luke helping to calm any nerves in the morning. Every staff member couldn’t do enough! Wesley and Bruno took excellent care of us during the reception meals and BBQ on day two and were so much fun. Everyone worked together to make our day seamless and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. Conor and the staff at the bar were incredible along with Tom helping us out in the after hours!

The food was absolutely incredible – thank you so much to all the chefs and kitchen staff. Our friends and family all had the best time too and were so impressed by the venue and staff. We cannot put into words how thankful we are to the most amazing staff at Ballykealey. We highly recommend it as a wedding venue to everyone.

The morning after our day two, another couple were viewing for the first time and I filled with tears, only wishing we could do it all again! It was the most amazing experience from start to finish. Ballykealey will always hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to returning for Sunday Brunch some time soon.
