We recently had our Wedding reception at Ballygally Castle and what a wonderful day we had everything just went to plan and so smoothly I couldn't fault it in one way. Norman who overseen the day was great he answered every query so well and nothing was a problem. Katie who we dealt with leading up …

to the day was also a great help and kept our minds at rest also nothing was a problem to her either. The whole hotel was just amazing rooms service and food and of course all the staff. I would most certainly recommend Ballygally Castle to everyone and most certainly for a wedding reception. Our day was just amazing and everything we dreamed of and more.

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at the stunning Ballygally Castle in May. From beginning to end we and all our guests were treated with the most amazing courtesy and care. The staff were extremely attentive and couldn’t have done enough for us. The change over from ceremony to reception …

was done with swiftness and ease. We will never forget the moment we opened the doors to the stunning Kintyre ballroom to view our reception-we were just overwhelmed by the beauty o f the room. The food was also 1st class -just as delicious as it was for our tasting and we were receiving fantastic compliments about it throughout the day. Many of our guests also enjoyed the beautiful sea and garden views from their stylish and modern bedrooms and we do believe many guests have actually returned to Ballygally since to enjoy more of what the stunning hotel has to offer. We wish to give a special mention at this point to our wedding co ordinator Norma Craig whose extremely warm personality and meticulous attention to detail from the moment we arrived to view the venue to the very moment we left the morning after our wedding ensured that we had an amazingly unforgettable experience. Thank you Norma and all the team. We can not recommend Ballygally Castle enough -fabulous! Una and David 18.05.18 xxx
