Testimonial

Hi Angela,

Keith and I are just about coming back to the real world after what has been a whirlwind of a couple of days.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the team in Ballykealey (but namely Alison, Luke and Cliona) for making our day so incredibly special, for pulling out all the stops and making us feel on top of the world. We loved every second of it and we are so grateful to you all.

Our guests have raved about the place, and the wedding. The food, the accommodation and of course the ceremony set up. So many have said it was the nicest wedding they have ever been to and although it makes me emotional to think it and very proud, it is down to you and the incredible amount of work you put into each individual wedding.

Thank you from Keith and I for creating a day we will treasure forever.

Best wishes,

Michelle & Keith

Testimonial

Having looked around at other venues we knew quite quickly that Ballykealey was the perfect fit for us. We were their first wedding since reopening under new management and from the very beginning we were met with professionalism, enthusiasm and a genuine interest in making sure our big day was as we wanted it to be. Angela, the Wedding and Events Manager was super easy to deal with and her wealth of experience really shone through. 

Our wedding day went even better than we could have ever imagined! Being able to put our trust in Angela and her team meant that we could relax and enjoy the time with our guests knowing everything was being taken care of. The fantastic staff, the amazing food, the stunning grounds and ballroom, all made our wedding so special for both of us and our guests. We can’t thank Balleykealey management and staff enough for making the day everything we wanted it to be and more!

John and Claire
