We got married at the Ballyliffin Lodge in March this year, and everything from start to finish was simply amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue; they catered to everything we wanted and needed from the moment we first enquired until our wedding day.

We are so grateful to Danielle and …

Madeline, who are just incredible at their jobs and made everything run so smoothly for us the entire time!

We’ll definitely be back for a visit, and we’ve recommended this venue to so many others based on our fantastic experience.

Thanks again,

We have visited the Ballyliffin Lodge many times for Sunday dinner, so when it came to booking our wedding, there was only one place in mind. We already knew the food was of a high standard and that the staff were always welcoming. With just one viewing and a single conversation, we were completely …

settled on The Lodge. Given our previous experiences, my expectations were already high—surely such a familiar place couldn’t impress me any more?

From the very beginning, Danielle was brilliant—nothing was off the table. Every idea I had was explored and made possible. I felt calm throughout the entire process, as Danielle's communication was exceptional. I never found myself with unanswered questions or wondering what was next, because she kept me in the loop every step of the way. We had complete trust in Danielle and the team.

When our actual wedding day arrived, my already high expectations were surpassed. The entire day ran so smoothly. We hardly had to think about a thing because Madeline and her team guided us through everything seamlessly. Not having to worry allowed us to truly enjoy our time together and with our guests. Madeline is an expert—the whole day was picture-perfect.

It's been four months since our wedding, and our family and friends are still talking about the food—how quickly it was served, how warm it was, the generous portion sizes, and, of course, how delicious the Chicken Vol-Au-Vents were!

Thank you for making it the best day of our lives.

special thank you to the highly professional Madeline, who ensured our day ran smoothly and seamlessly, offering her advice and kindness throughout.

Our wedding day at Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa Hotel last month was the most perfect day and one we will forever treasure. The standard of service we received before, during and after the event was phenomenal.

Danielle the events coordinator made the whole process run seamlessly, from start to …

finish. She took all the stress away from planning overseas from Australia, making sure to follow up on any questions and queries we had, which put our minds at ease. Danielle's attention to detail was exceptional and nothing was ever too much hassle. She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful event coordinators I’ve ever had contact with. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. With follow-up phone calls on every query and always keeping the hotel staff in the loop, she made communication easy, especially with the time difference.

All the local companies we used for various services, such as flowers and the cake, the hotel coordinated beautifully on their arrival to the venue at the allocated times.

The memories made will last a lifetime and we have the hotel to thank for creating such a beautiful wedding space, amazing atmosphere and outstanding staff, who are polite, cheerful and extremely helpful.

We have had so many family members phone us to thank us for a beautiful day and just how much they enjoyed the venue and staff at the Lodge, with comments such as:
"...some of the nicest hotel staff they have met in Donegal"
"The grounds are just glorious, you couldn’t ask for a better view."
"How lucky are we to have a view like that on our doorstep."

From start to finish with planning, the booking process and all the fine details, the hotel was fantastic. Madeleine and the team sorted all our accommodation needs for guests.

With the stunning gardens and amazing ocean views, The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa Hotel has to be one of the most perfect Wedding Venues a couple could ask for.

The reception staff, Claire, Raymond, and Marchin, and the lovely Margaret and Anthony who looked after our day 2 celebrations in Jack's bar, were a pleasure to deal with. Thank you all at the Lodge for looking after us, our families and our friends so well; memories were made to last our lifetime xx Mairead & Ollie.

We recently had our wedding reception at Ballyliffin Lodge on 11.7.24. From the planning at the very beginning, Danielle was very attentive and was a pleasure to deal with. We are not local to Donegal, so we emailed our questions and requests back and forth, which Danielle dealt with promptly. As …

for the day itself, what a day it was! We used our own centrepieces, and the staff set these out for us, which was a big help. The Rolls Royce met us at the beach to take photographs, which was lovely. Fantastic service from arrival to departure. Madeleine ensured everything ran smoothly and kept us updated on what was happening. The food was delicious, and the setup was amazing. We could not fault the Ballyliffin Lodge and would recommend this venue for our couples getting married. Our guests all complimented the food and venue. 10/10!

I would highly recommend Ballyliffin Lodge to any couple wishing to tie the knot. The staff did an incredible job, and all our guests were well looked after. The views are beautiful. I only wish we still had it to look forward to.

My partner and I got married here last week. I couldn’t recommend it enough! The manager and staff were especially helpful, and everything was perfect.

We had a fantastic wedding at Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa. The wedding coordinator, Danielle, was excellent. She is so organised, efficient and a lovely person to work with. She was helpful throughout the process; any questions we had were answered, and any emails sent were replied to quickly. She is …

excellent at her job and was brilliant to work with. On the wedding day Madeline was coordinating and again a great person to work with.

We booked our wedding with the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa because it has the most stunning location and because the area is a place where we would have had dates in our relationship, upon arrival we were met with Danielle, who would be our wedding planner, Danielle was very informative and helpful …

and made us feel so comfortable, she helped in so many ways from the constant changes that had to be made and nothing was ever to much trouble for her, she was absolutely brilliant with everything and all enquiries and always greeted us with a smile, she helped us to have the most perfect day we had imagined we wanted to have.

On the wedding day, we had Madeline, the wedding coordinator. She helped to keep the wedding day running as smoothly as possible, from the reception to dinner to cutting the cake and everything in between. She catered to us and our daughters so well on the day, and it was a blessing to have her there, keeping everything organized. She is truly amazing at what she does, and the day ran beautifully.

I also want to add in the duty manager Jason porter who was working that night, he helped us with any requests we had and nothing was a bother for him.

The staff at Ballyliffin Lodge really do go above and beyond for you and really know how to make you feel so special on your special day. We are so happy we chose the Ballyliffin Lodge as our wedding venue because it was just absolutely perfect.

From the moment we booked our wedding until the big day itself, we had the most amazing team helping and looking after us. Our day was amazing, and we can't thank the whole team enough. You made our wedding day a day we will never forget.

Love Emma and John Devine

We got married in April 2024 and had a first-class experience with the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa.

Madeleine and Danielle are a great pair to work with, and they could not do more for us.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Danielle was very helpful in checking that we had everything we needed, and …

Madeleine kept everything running smoothly on the day. We had nothing to worry about, and we could just enjoy the day.

Our guests from near and far also praised the hotel staff, food, and service they received.

Thank you!

We had our wedding last weekend and invited friends and family from all over Ireland. Most guests had a journey of over 4 hours & everyone had such high praise for the location, the room, the friendly service & in particular the food.
Every guest had a hot & delicious dinner speedily served to …

them. Many guests took second helpings despite the large portions because of how tasty the food was.

The Lodge was the perfect spot to showcase my homeland. We had a large wedding so Ballyliffin suited us well as it had two other hotels nearby, as well as three beautiful beaches within 10mins for guests.
The Lodge does countless weddings every year so they are well versed in what they do.
Any hotel is as good as the sum of its parts and it’s clear that all of the staff are not only well trained but happy there. Every member of staff was efficient, friendly, and helpful; the hotel itself is beautiful and clean and the backdrop of the beach view is simply breathtaking.

Danielle who organized the wedding planning aspects couldn’t have been more supportive. She gave us so much of her time & nothing was ever a problem. We did a lot of our extra touches which she was welcoming and encouraging of. Her cheerful positive nature makes her perfect for the role she’s in.
Despite knowing Madeline’s golden reputation locally for Wedding Day Coordination, I was still surprised at how excellent her attention to detail was. She was kind, subtle & professional for every moment of our day. She did countless small things we appreciated on the day, including giving us really helpful & insightful advice on walking together as well as putting the men’s jackets on them before speeches. Things we would have never considered but made our photos/video look 10 times better.

The day ran seamlessly & it meant our band could play for longer.
We had an unimaginably special day. I’d highly recommend the Lodge to any future brides and grooms. It was the easiest and best decision we made!

We had our wedding at the lodge on the 23rd of March 24, I cannot recommend the place enough, the staff, the food, and everything was just amazing from start to finish.

Danielle and Madeline are truly professionals and are just amazing at what they do thank you all so much.

We got married in the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa on 16th March 2024. We originally booked the venue in August of 2021 shortly after getting engaged and the hall it was held in has gotten an upgrade since then.

We had an amazing experience with the staff of the Ballyliffin. Danielle, our wedding …

coordinator was fantastic from start to finish and helped us to organize everything for our special day, even when we had to make numerous changes to our menu, etc. We can't thank her enough for all she did for us.

Marcin was an absolute star as well, he kept us informed of room availability throughout, and for any changes we had to make he got them confirmed for us very quickly and effectively.

On the day Madeline kept everything running smoothly and like clockwork, from the call to dinner, the speeches, and everything else she was there to help us.

Overall, after having had our special day at the Ballyliffin Lodge we can't imagine having had it anywhere else. If you're looking for a place for yourselves then look no further.

One of the most special days had! I still cant recommend the staff and hotel enough from start to finish AMAZING !!! I am still getting calls from people telling me that it was one of the best weddings they have been at!!!

The wedding team and staff on the floor really know what they are doing, their customer service is 10/10. Cannot fault them at all!

We had our wedding in Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa in April 2023.

From our first viewing to our wedding day, we couldn't have chosen a better venue. The staff were incredible, the food is the best you'll get in Inishowen. The coordinators are incredible, really helpful every step of the way. We got married on site in the little cottage and it was such a lovely …

venue. Our friends and family could not get over the space inside it. We used the venues Rolls Royce for our photos and the driver was a gent, it was really a show stopper for our photos.

Thanks to Madeleine and the crew for all their help making our day wonderful.

Our wedding day, I don't know where to start. Firstly we were a COVID-19-affected couple and at every stage of our worry, the Ballyliffin were so swift at responding.
The Banqueting Team are unbelievable at what they do. Madeleine and her team were so professional and nothing was too much trouble. …

The food I don't even know where to begin here.....I had friends calling me months after our wedding asking, did I get that recipe for 'THAT SOUP', for reference we had the tomato soup. Everyone said the food was better than they had experienced at most 5-star hotels.
The hotel itself is at such an amazing location. I fell in love with the Ballyliffin Lodge years previously whilst attending another wedding, in my early 20's and I always said I'd get married there. Gary thankfully after one visit shared my dream and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

If you are thinking about Ballyliffin Lodge for your wedding, know that you will not be disappointed. From start to finish, the wedding team were amazing to deal with, especially Ron, Danielle and Madeleine.

The venue itself is just fabulous and already styled so beautifully that honestly, you …

don't need much in the way of wedding decor to complete the look.

Along with the wonderful service you have the reassurance that if anything were to come up on the day, Madeleine and her team would have it covered. Madeleine is exceptional and will guide you through the day seamlessly so that you won't need to worry or think about a thing.

Danielle is just amazing. She is so thorough in all the pre-planning, is really easy to work with and makes sure every detail is taken care of and no stone unturned, all while being super lovely and having the patience of a saint!

Hailing from the other end of the county, most of our guests had never been to the Lodge before and they were so impressed. We heard nothing but the highest praise from everyone as they raved about the top quality food, the amazing service and the friendliness of the staff.

It was also really competitively priced and without a doubt most the most value for money when we compared to other venues, all while offering top class service.

I am so delighted that we chose the Lodge for our special day.

From the moment we signed the contract to our wedding date, we just knew we were in good hands! The continuity we had with Danielle felt like we had an actual wedding planner, no question or request was left unanswered, Danielle linked in with us regularly, making the planning process effortless. …

The main function room also had an upgrade -and it perfectly sums up the timeless elegance the hotel and its surroundings exude.
On the day of our wedding, Madeline had her team working together like clockwork in the background, ensuring our guests were very well looked after from the elderly down to the many young children present. Madeleine’s experience in hospitality was evident as she smiled and made the whole day stress-free and relaxing for ourselves and our bridal party. The Ballyliffin Lodge really has everything under one roof to cater for your magical day!

How do I begin to explain how amazing our experience was from start to finish. From our first meeting, we knew we had chose the perfect venue for our big day. Danielle was amazing with helping us and she had the patience of a saint. She helped us with every last detail of our day, she was soo happy …

to help me with everything and it didn’t matter the time or day if I had a question she was straight on to reply to me. She went above and beyond for us, then roll on to our big day, we got the use of the stunning white Range Rover that first collected myself and my father and then took myself and my husband to our photo destination then on to the venue where we met Madeline on arrival. To say she was one of a kind is an understatement, from the minute we landed she was waiting for us helping with my dress and explaining exactly what we needed to do and where to go. She was on the ball, not once did we have to wonder what we had to do, with our bridal party she made sure we all knew where we needed to be and what we needed to do. On to dinner, the food was to die for and all piping hot on arrival to the tables. All our guests raved about it and just to add a few points, the top tables mains get served all at one with silver service that I can only call orchestrated to a T with Madeline on the floor. All our guests were treated like they were royals, the bar staff were amazing along with every member of staff, they were all so professional and soo friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa to any couple getting married they are above all our expectations and we couldn’t have been happier with the whole venue and staff .x

We had our wedding on the 20th July 2023 and had a wonderful day. Nothing was too much for us and our guests. We can’t thank Danielle, Madeline and the staff enough for all their hard work and ensuring our day went smoothly. Our guests were very complimentary on the venue, food and service. We …

The Ballyliffin Lodge is a credit to the Inishowen Peninsula! From our very first appointment Danielle’s attention to detail and support was fantastic! The venue, food and hospitality in the Lodge was everything a bride and groom would imagine on their wedding day! Madeline was extremely …

We had our wedding at the Ballyliffin Lodge on 28th April 2023. We had the most amazing day and were looked after every minute by the entire wedding team. Nothing was too much bother for them and the new renovated wedding room was a sight to behold.

We had our wedding in the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa, we could not have been happier with our choice. Madaleine and the rest of the staff were amazing, sorted our every need and made our wedding so special.

Hassle free wedding with everything available at the one venue.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our day truly special.
First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Danielle, the …

wedding coordinator. Her expertise and attention to detail were exceptional. She took care of every aspect of the planning process, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Danielle's communication was second to none, and she thought of everything – nothing was too much trouble. Her commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable was truly commendable.
On the big day itself, Madeleine, the event coordinator, was an absolute superstar. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of our wedding was executed flawlessly. Madeleine's professionalism and calm presence reassured us throughout the day, and knowing that she was there to handle any unforeseen issues provided a great deal of peace of mind.
I would also like to express my appreciation to the entire staff at the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa. Every member of the team played a vital role in making our day memorable, from the friendly greeting we received on arrival to the attentive service during the reception. The level of professionalism displayed by all staff members was outstanding.
I cannot recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa highly enough as a wedding venue. The exceptional service provided by Danielle, Madeleine, and the entire staff made our day truly magical. It is evident that they take great pride in what they do, and this radiates through every aspect of their work. If you are looking for the perfect venue for your special day, look no further.
Love Laura and Mo.

For a wedding venue the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa is second to none. An absolute first class service from start to finish. Right from our first meeting with Danielle and her team, they bent over backwards to make the whole day seamless right up to the day of the wedding, any changes we requested …

were dealt with immediately. On the day of the wedding, the cars and drivers provided by the hotel made us feel so comfortable and at ease. On arrival at the hotel, I can safely say we were treated like royalty. The wedding room way exceeded our expectations, it was absolutely gorgeous. The food and service was 10/10. What I really liked was all of the courses for each table arrived at the same time. Over 200 guests were giving us compliments on how mannerly and professional the hotel staff were. If anyone books this venue in future I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Thanks

We booked Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa for our wedding, we had went to a few weddings there and we knew when it was time to set a date it was where we wanted. When meeting with the wedding team, we had a look around the gate lodge cottage and decided we would get married there. The cottage was stunning …

and guests were amazed at the size of the gate lodge as it is very deceiving. When booking, the wedding staff were amazing, there wasn’t anything we couldn’t email or call about and they were very accommodating when we would call down. They handled everything we wanted and when dropping things down the day before it was straight forward. The room was laid out the we wanted, every added thing was set up beautifully, better than I pictured it to be. Our wedding day ended up being a really warm and sunny day. Guests were able to take full advantage of the stunning garden at the front of the hotel and our singer was able to set up outside with help of hotel staff. The food served was delicious and everyone was served quickly, we love going down to Jack's bar and restaurant since booking the wedding and it’s something we would often do, staff are friendly and most of them remember us and would come chat and be very welcoming. Overall, we had a great wedding experience with the staff of the hotel and had an amazing wedding at Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa. I would recommend and have recommended everyone looking for their perfect wedding reception to check out Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa.

Review submitted on Fri, 27th of October, 2023

Our wedding was very unique. The Ballyliffin Lodge were outstanding.
We rearranged our wedding fairly last minute due to a significant family emergency, the Ballyliffin worked with us to help us both, change the date and also helped us make some changes to make sure we were getting the best deal …

possible on our new date.
On the day of our wedding, we had a family member pass away. The Ballyliffin staff dealt with this with absolute professionalism, both considerate to the family but also very conscious that the wedding should carry on without a hitch.
The wedding coordinators that we worked with were absolutely exemplary, thorough and reassuring. No detail was ignored, (our original coordinator left the hotel during the run up to our wedding, but she had a warm handover, explaining the process going forward and we felt in good hands.)

On the day, the day went off without a hitch and this was all down to Madeline, she kept the show going. She composed the bridal party, nothing was out of the question for myself and my new wife. What we booked,planned and paid for, we got .... What we didn't expect was the level of detail/care and consideration that was put in to every step of the day.
I previously worked in a hotel that specialised in weddings, so I had an idea what to expect, but what we received was really and truly massively above our expectations.

I have since recommended the hotel to anyone that asks, but also, our guests have commented on the hotel, a few of them have since booked weddings with the hotel and I have asked friends if they enjoyed the wedding and they all sing the highest of praise (I realise this is what I would expect any guest to any wedding to say, but my friends and family would be honest with me and I would be a harsh critic)

Believe me, I would not have taken the time to write such a review if there was any single element of my wedding day that was let down by the hotel... They were outstanding!

Danielle, thank you so much for all your help and guidance on the lead up to our wedding! Any questions we had were answered swiftly and concisely and we knew exactly what to expect on the day.
Madeleine, our guests still comment on how smoothly the day ran under your command.

We had the …

absolute best day and would do it all over again (if we were guaranteed that weather again). It was so beautiful!
Our drinks reception was supposed to be inside but because of the spectacular weather, Danielle approached us after the ceremony to say they were setting up the music outside so our guests could enjoy the sunshine. So many people said it was the best wedding they’d been at, we couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Thank you all so much! The whole team did an amazing job and nothing was too much!

Danielle & Madeleine,

Don’t really know where to start but can Ryan and I just say how much we loved our wedding on Saturday! It was hands down the best day of our lives. All of our guests loved the day too - the food was fab, the staff were excellent in both the reception and Jacks bar …

and all of the hotel staff throughout the weekend while we there were excellent!
You both went above and beyond from the day we set our date until the end. We felt so looked after and nothing was too much to ask.
Can we also say a huge thank you Claire, Marcin and Ray and all the staff in the hotel, they were so patient and helpful with us in sorting out all our room bookings.
We already loved the Lodge for what it was as Ryan’s mum Sheila’s special place but it will forever be our special place now and your help and support was a huge part of that. We’ve send a few wee pics of the day from Shea and other guests, hopefully will get a few more once we get our full album.

Thank you both again so much,

Sitting down to write a review about your outstanding staff and hotel and I don't even know where to begin..

We chose this beautiful venue (newly decorated dining room) for our wedding reception in April 2022 and Danielle has just been amazing throughout. Due to the fact we live in Glasgow and …

it's tricky to get home often, we only had the privilege of meeting Danielle once prior to the wedding however, we were made to feel at ease straight away with her welcoming smile, professionalism and fountain of knowledge about weddings. We were able to email her from Glasgow to tell her our preferences for our big day and she certainly made our vision become a reality!

At last, 30th June came and it was our Wedding Day! Paddy, the driver went above and beyond for us all to ensure we got to the Chapel and hotel safely. He was great craic and very patient allowing us to stop along the way to take scenic photographs!

On arrival to the venue, we were greeted by Madeleine. This lovely lady made us feel like we were the only bride and groom in the world and was so attentive.

Another shout out has to go to every other staff member who we encountered. They went above and beyond for ourselves and guests and nothing was too much hassle!

Compliments to the chef(s) too! The meal and buffet were absolutely delicious and the portions filled us all up for a night of dancing and craic!

If you're looking at wedding venues, I'd highly recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa!

Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!

Danielle and team,

From the moment we arrived to the second we left, everything ran extremely smoothly. Staff were amazing, friendly, attentive …

and couldn't do enough for us.

On the day of the wedding itself, Madeleine and the team were phenomenal, there was nothing too much for them, they ensured everything ran on time (even though it was like herding cats at times) and nothing happened that wasn't ran past us first. The team were attentive and joined in with the craic with our guests.

The food was amazing and not a single guest had a complaint, it was served promptly and there was plenty of it.

Our guests couldn't praise the hotel enough.

The small touches didn't go unnoticed either - the sandwiches and cake in the room that night, the breakfast in the room the next day and the food laid on the following night for everyone.

Honestly it was the best few days of our lives. We first stayed in the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa in 2014 and have stayed quite a few times from then, we can't wait to keep coming back.

Even though the covid restrictions were in place, nothing bothered the staff, particularly Niamh and Lauren. The service was exceptional! It was 5 stars!

We had the most amazing wedding day all thanks to the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa. They took the stress out of planning the wedding and nothing was ever too much trouble. On the actual day the team went above and beyond and all of our guests commented on the amazing service. The setting is out of this …

world and we had the most amazing weather on the day which was just the icing on the cake!

We had an amazing day at the Ballyliffin Lodge for our wedding in June. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The service & staff were first class.

Amazing service 10/10.
Couldn’t recommend more.

We can’t recommend The Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel enough for the service and care we received on our wedding Day and in every encounter and interaction in the months leading up to the wedding. The Venue in itself is just stunning with beautiful views from their unreal gardens. The food on the day was …

first class and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. We would like to give a special mention to Ron and Lauren who showed us around the hotel and went through every detail with ease for us in the run up to our big day. And a very special mention to Madeline who looked after us on the day. She is such a professional and made sure everything ran so smoothly. It really was the best day of our lives and The Ballyliffin Lodge was such a major factor in that. Thanks so much to everyone.

Could not have asked them to do anything more for us on the lead up to the day and on the day itself. Couldn't recommend the Ballyliffin enough for anyone thinking about having their big day here. Madeleine made the day run like clockwork for us. She is amazing at her job and we couldn't thank her …

The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa have been amazing, they took us under their wing at short notice due to a mess up elsewhere and provided the best service and stress free wedding. Everything was first class on the day. This Hotel has been our dream wedding and couldn't thank everyone anymore.

Huge thank you to the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa for pulling out all the stops for our wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to host our big day.
A special shout out to Madeleine McLaughlin who made planning our wedding so seamless, stress-free and enjoyable! Madeleine is an absolute …

We had our wedding here on the 22nd of August 2022. It's an absolutely gorgeous venue, beautifully decorated, and the food was superb, plenty to go around. Wedding manager and staff were top class, we were so well looked after in the lead up and on the day itself, which went so smoothly. Very …

professional from first visit to wedding. Everyone complimented the food, the service and the flow and organisation. Would highly recommend this venue for small or large weddings. Just wonderful. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much to all of the staff at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa, they were incredible.
From the day we booked our wedding to the day after the wedding, they were fantastic! The organisation was brilliant, Lauren met with us and the decor company in the run up to the wedding to ensure …

everything was ready to go, she was so friendly and accommodating. The wedding team were willing to help in any way that they could and were always available when we had any questions.
Madeleine looked after us on the day and she was truly amazing! She ensured everything ran smoothly, she allowed us to relax and enjoy our day as everything was being taken care of!
The food was so delicious and many of our guests complimented it long after our wedding day. Everything was perfect from start to finish, thanks to the hard work and attention to detail of the staff at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa!

Review submitted on Sat, 26th of November, 2022

We would very highly recommend the team and venue at Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa! Our wedding was reorganised twice as a result of covid (first time with 5 days' notice!) and the team did everything they could to make it as stressless as possible for us while also dealing with the unknown themselves. …

Then when our wedding day arrived on 17th March 2022, it was perfect from start to finish.
The room had been set up exactly how I envisaged, and it all came together perfectly. The service could not be faulted - not one of our guests was left hungry or thirsty all evening! Even now we have friends and family still recalling how they all received 5-star service from the staff on the day. We still have guests recalling how delicious the meal was as well.
The whole team that we dealt with throughout the initial planning and for the reorganised weddings were all so professional and bent over backwards to make us feel special and to accommodate anything we requested. From the wedding team to the guys on reception and the servers and barmen/women, it is so rare to have such high-quality service across the board, but Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa definitely offer and live up to their award-winning service.
The wedding team also put us in touch with a few local suppliers (room dressing and music) and they did not disappoint! It is clear that the team only recommend suppliers that are in the same league as them.
Overall, we can't thank the team enough for all they did for us in the lead up to our big day and helping to make it one of the best days of our lives that we will never forget.

We had an amazing wedding day in the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa and I could not recommend the venue enough. The wedding team were a great help in organising our wedding during Covid times. A beautiful venue with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff!

We had a fabulous day at the Lodge for our wedding. It was the one and only venue I wanted. With covid we had to postpone our dates 4 times and the team could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend the venue to anyone!

The team at the Ballyliffin are fantastic. With lockdowns and changing the dates 3 times, the team did everything they could to accommodate our needs and were so understanding about everything.

On the run-up to our big day, Danielle was amazing with helping out with everything from the big …

things to our own little touches.

On our big day, the team couldn’t have done more for us. We didn’t have to worry about anything as it was all done for us. The day ran so smoothly, and that was mostly down to Madeline. She is amazing.

Everyone talked about the food and how absolutely gorgeous it was. For our guests with dietary requirements, nothing was too much hassle!

Special mention to Laura, who was amazing with our Baby. He was unsettled during the speeches, and Laura didn’t think twice when she stepped in and took him for a walk to settle him to let me and my husband enjoy our big day!

Overall, if anyone is looking to book a Wedding venue, we would highly recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge!

The most amazing hotel! We had our double wedding here in October and it was easily the best day of our lives!

Trying to plan this with the other couple in Australia was difficult but Danielle and the team went above and beyond to make everything so easy for us. Helping plan, organise and had …

lots of helpful suggestions and recommendations on local vendors. We were so clueless and they couldn't have done more for us.

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and even with the unpredictable October weather, we were able to get amazing photos in the private garden, nearby forest and beach. The location is perfect!

Every one of our guests have mentioned how amazing the food was and how helpful and friendly all the staff were. All the bars were well staffed ensuring the entrainment could be enjoyed without long waits or having to leave the room.

We had a family death just days before the wedding and Danielle was so amazing and supportive. Even helping to sort last minute table plans, a post box and keeping everything on track and running smoothly.

We and our families had such an amazing day. I'm forever grateful we chose the Ballyliffin and recommend them to everyone we know planning their special day!

I really wanted to leave a review because the team at the Ballyliffin helped make our wedding such a special day.

OMG! Ballyliffin Lodge 10/10, we had our wedding in the Ballyliffin lodge and Spa on the 24th of September 2022. We both live in England, so planning a wedding from another country can be difficult, but having Danielle on hand and at the end of the phone or email made it such an amazing experience. …

Nothing was too difficult and Danielle made sure we had the day we had both dreamed off. Then to the our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was perfection. Madeline was like our fairy godmother from the moment we arrived, ensuring Michael and I felt relaxed and enjoyed our day, Niamh went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed at all times. Both Madeline and Niamh ensured our guests felt welcome and went above and beyond for all our guests throughout the day. I can not thank the Ballyliffin enough for making our day so special. Since the wedding the guests have been commenting on what a beautiful venue we had for our wedding and how amazing the food and service was, thank you so much for this, we know the day is about us as the bride and groom but it is so important that our guests had a good day too! We can never thank you enough. Mr and Mrs Cole

As the groom for the wedding, I could not fault this hotel in the slightest, they really helped make our day special. The hotel itself is very picturesque, with stunning views overlooking the beach from the gardens. The staff were so kind and friendly and went above and beyond their duties as hotel …

staff to help me and my bride throughout the day.
The food was wonderful and staff made sure that all our guests dietary requirements were met as we had vegetarian, pescatarian and persons with nut allergies attending.
From the moment we walked into the hotel 18 months previous, we met with Ron, who showed us round and we were blown away by the welcoming nature of the staff.
We then had Lauren and Danielle as our wedding coordinators throughout the build up. They helped organise everything and were always available when we had any questions.
On the day, Madaline was our point of contact and she made sure anything that we wanted was ready and waiting! Like honestly she was our wonderwoman for the day and sorted everything.
If you are reading this review, with this location in mind as a potential wedding venue, I would highly recommend taking the time to come and view this hotel to see if it meets your requirements, because for us there is no better word to sum up the hotel other than PERFECT.
Thank you again to all the staff. And it is also worth noting that this hotel was a lot more reasonably priced than others we had viewed.

The Ballyliffin Lodge was the perfect venue to host a large gathering of Americans and Irish clans for our Wedding! The location is just stunning, with a fantastic view of the ocean, Ballyliffin Golf course and of course, the beautiful hills of Donegal. The staff were so accommodating on our Wedding …

Day, and this feedback was shared to us by many of our guests. The Wedding team had everything under control on the big day, and we were blown away by how smoothly it all went, with very little decisions or worry that we had to deal with. Coming out of Covid, we were a little anxious about possibly having many young, inexperienced staff serving the meal, but they couldn't have been more professional and everything really did go off without a hitch. Would highly recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge to any couple looking for a venue that can host a large number of guests in one of the most stunning locations in Ireland, and is overall, just great craic.

We had the best wedding day at the Ballyliffin Lodge. Madeline and her team looked after us from start to finish. Food and service was excellent. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

No one does it better.

We got engaged in July 2019. A short while after and with little deliberation, we made an appointment in view of booking our wedding reception at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa hotel. From the start, the communication was clear and direct. We knew from the start that this was …

going to be our venue as we had heard great reviews and as being local ourselves, there was nowhere better. After a year of covid, we made the sad decision to postpone for a year, Ron was very understanding, helpful and supportive.
In the leading months coming towards our wedding, we dealt with Danielle who was a pleasure and no question was left unanswered, we were in regular contact and it took a lot of pressure off us.
On the day of the wedding, George was punctual and very relaxed with his professional driving skills, we loved the comfort and presentation of the Rolls Royce.
On arrival to the hotel, we were greeted by Madeleine and team. Everything went so smooth and we were overwhelmed with happiness from start to finish. We are still hearing to this day, (November) of how great our wedding was, the food, service and how well everyone was treated. We could not have got any better and we would love to do it all again. We had a tray of sandwiches and cake supplied to our room for the late hours and my suitcase was also delivered which shows how much extra the team went for us. We are looking forward to our next trip back to the Lodge which will forever remain a special place for us.

We had an amazing day from start to finish. The wedding team couldn't do enough for us and made everything run so smoothly. Thanks again.

Absolutely fantastic spot for a wedding, very accommodating and friendly, everything went perfectly. The views for photos are great and only 2 minutes away from the beach. The food was fantastic, would highly recommend.

The staff at hotel was very helpful to us for our wedding, especially as it was covid time. Myself and Liam were made feel very welcome along with our guests, nothing was a bother. Thank you to all staff.

Our wedding day could not have been any more magical from start to finish! Due to the C word, we had to postpone our wedding twice, and the team were so incredibly supportive during a very stressful time. In the run up, Lauren made us feel that anything we wanted was no trouble at all, and we were …

able to put complete trust in the team to organise the day whilst we were in England.

The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa is a fantastic Venue. We had a brilliant day and the service was phenomenal.

Our wedding- 7th July 2022

We had our wedding reception in the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa and we had the most amazing day.

Our wedding was supposed to happen in 2020 but we had to postpone twice. The team went above and above for us and we were able to get a new date for 2022. They kept all the …

prices and the package the same for us and they couldn't have done more to help us.

Danielle the wedding coordinator was fantastic she was so helpful and she was able to help us with anything we enquired about, nothing was ever a bother. Thank you so much for all your help.

Our wedding day was made even more special having our reception in the stunning Ballyliffin Lodge. When booking it back in 2018 we just knew it was the venue we wanted and despite covid and postponements our heart was set in having our reception here.

The staff went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and made it so special for us.
We had quite a few displays and everything was put together perfectly, we were extremely happy with the setup of all our decor it was obvious the amount of care and effort that was put in.

Madeleine was just amazing from the lead up when we felt so stressed she was there to make us feel at ease and ensured us that everything was going to be fine. Special thanks to you for your kindness, you're just a lovely woman. You were fantastic on the day of our wedding.

The food was absolutely gorgeous and the service we and all of our guests received was top quality.

Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have dreamed of having it anywhere else

Our guests still talk about how amazing the day was and how great the service was by staff .

We first visited Ballyliffin Lodge a few years ago and couldn't get over how nice and genuine everyone was. When we got engaged it was the first and only place we had in mind (and we aren't even local to the area). Madeleine, Danielle and all the team went above and beyond. They were so attentive …

throughout, even our guests commented on the excellent service multiple times!! The venue is absolutely stunning and not short of places for beautiful photos. The food was delicious (one of the reasons we wanted to have our wedding there). The Wedding was so easy to plan, and the team got back to us immediately about any questions we had. We are still on a high about how it all went. If you are getting married in Donegal you would be absolutely mad not to consider this place! Thank you Ballyliffin Lodge !!!

My family is from Ballyliffin, and when we visit we stay at the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa hotel. Because of the beautiful setting, amazing food, and brilliant service, when we got engaged we knew that we wanted to get married here.

The Wedding Team was so helpful from the start. They emailed us a …

supplier list, which is really helpful if you do not live in the local area, and all of our suppliers came from this list and we couldn't have had better suppliers. This saved us a huge task in researching and finding people ourselves.

Nothing was ever too much to ask and every query that we had was answered and satisfied on the same day. They made planning a wedding for nearly 200 people so easy and completely stress free.

During the week before the wedding when we arrived in Ballyliffin, we didn't have anything left to organise, as they had sorted everything for us a few weeks before. The Wedding Team had been in touch with all of our suppliers and organised the timelines for us, so we just had to turn up on the day. When we arrived after our ceremony we were greeted by Madalaine and she was fantastic. She gave us a quick run-through of what the plan was, organised everyone and put people where they needed to be (bridal party to get ready for the entrance etc) and was on hand all evening to give us a 5 minute 'heads up' on what would happen next, like cutting the cake for example.

We cannot thank Madalaine enough. Not only had the Wedding Team made everything absolutely perfect and exactly how we envisioned our wedding to be, she made the day so seamless and stress-free. We didn't have to think once about where we needed to be or what we needed to do.

All of the bar staff and waiters were absolutely fantastic and our friends and family are still raving about the food.

We want to do it all again, they really do make all of your dreams come true.

Thank you again, and we will see you soon for our next stay!

you were. Your whole team were fantastic and you're an absolute credit to the Ballyliffin Lodge.
All the waiters, waitresses, bar staff on the day, the reception staff, the breakfast staff the next day.. everyone was absolutely fantastic! Thank you to our excellent chauffeur driver also, he was so attentive!

Every single person commented & raved about the INCREDIBLE food (our compliments to the chefs!). Plenty to eat and it was just beautiful.

The little touches were also noted and appreciated - warm plates for dinner, our drinks being taken to our table before we made our entrance, wedding cake & some buffet food being left in the Bridal Suite for a much appreciated snack!

We were given guidance throughout the day as to what would happen next, which I really appreciated and nothing was ever too much trouble.

We honestly can't thank you all enough for helping us with our Big Day. We will never forget it!

We cannot praise this hotel and their staff enough for the exceptional service we received on our wedding day. From the initial booking of our wedding date and show around with Ron, to our chats with Lauren regarding all the fine details and Madeline on the day coordinating and keeping us updated as …

to what was happening throughout the day, we honestly cannot express our appreciation for the attention to detail we received. The wedding team put us completely at ease and nothing was too much to ask. The service throughout our meal was outstanding and every one of our guests who travelled from Belfast and further afield were astonished at how professional and friendly the staff were, how good the food was and of course the breathtaking scenery Ballyliffin has to offer. We want to commend Niamh, our waitress at the top table for the brilliant service she gave us. She has such a lovely attitude and was so attentive to the entire bridal party. Also we want to give our thanks to Claire and the reception team for all the help they gave us throughout the planning process regarding room allocations and numerous changes being made. Again, nothing was a hassle and they made the whole process stress free for myself, my husband and all our guests.
A big thank you also to Colm and the staff in Jack's bar and grill. Again, the food and service was phenomenal and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We would 100% recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa as a wedding venue. Our day was perfect from start to finish and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Looking forward to our next visit.

We could not recommend the Lodge more for a wedding! The staff on the day could not do more for us, between keeping us updated throughout the day of what was going on, left cake in our room (as they knew the couple don’t often get time to have any cake), brought up anything we needed when getting …

ready for the ceremony, and checking in with us to ensure we didn’t need anything else (even the day after when they had another wedding on we were still treated like the most important people there) and just providing the best service throughout the entire process.
They did everything exactly how we wanted and it turned out perfect! Everyone was incredibly flexible and accommodating to what we wanted for our wedding!
The food was excellent, being able to choose what you want to eat on the day (and offering seconds) just gave it that lil extra that you don’t get at other venues! The location is what made us choose the Lodge but the staff, food and service is what will ensure we will go back for another visit! Highly recommend!!

It was a military operation from start to finish.

Excellent location and truly amazing staff made our wedding go off without a hitch. Food and surroundings were amazing.

We had our wedding at Ballyliffin Lodge on Easter Monday 2022 and we cannot praise the staff at the hotel enough. They were all fabulous and so accommodating but Madeline and Lauren get a special mention for their utmost professionalism, all done with a smile, as it felt like nothing was too much …

Thank you to all the staff at Ballyliffin Lodge! Our wedding day was perfect!
The lead up and the day was very stress free. From Ron helping us pick our date and package to Lauren planning all closer to the time, she was always quick to respond! We dropped stuff down the day before including the …

sweet cart, favours, kids stuff etc and all was organised and set out by the staff! We didn’t have to do anything.
We always wanted all of our wedding party to travel together in a limo so the cars being part of the package wasn’t going to be a benefit for us, but we didn’t miss out we got to have the Rolls Royce at the beach for photos and arrive at the hotel in it!
Madeline and her team were amazing on the day and everything went smoothly! The staff went over and above, including a lovely waitress who pushed my sister’s baby back and forth whilst she and her husband had dinner!
Thanks so much

I am still incredibly pleased with how perfect our wedding was and that is thanks to the staff at the Ballyliffin Lodge. We had a lot of kids at the wedding, some with additional needs and they made it their priority that those children were happy and content throughout the evening.

Madeleine, …

Lauren and the rest of the staff work very well together, the dinner service was great and the food was amazing.

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for your wedding day!

Both of our families stayed down the night before and honestly from the moment we arrived, every member of staff treated us like royalty. Nothing was too much bother for any of them and they all put us completely at ease.

The …

day itself ran so smoothly, we literally had nothing to worry about. Everything was taken care of and we could just be in the moment and enjoy our day. All of our guests commented on the lovely atmosphere at the Lodge and how brilliant all the staff were. The views from the hotel and having the beach just around the corner meant we were lucky enough to have the most incredible natural backdrop for all of our photographs and we didn't have to go too far.

The wedding team of Madeleine, Lauren and Ron are absolutely amazing at what they do! We booked our wedding in October 2019 and tried to plan it through Covid. Through the ever-changing rules and regulations, we really thought we would have to compromise on so much but the three of them took all the stress away from us and made sure that our day was everything we dreamed it would be. From the moment we booked our wedding to the day itself we had constant contact with the wedding team and they did regular check-ins with us to see how we were getting on with the planning and advising us as best they could when the regulations kept changing.

Do not hesitate to book this amazing hotel as your wedding venue, it will be the best decision you make!

It’s true when they say your wedding day is the best day of your life. So much of that was due to the wedding team at Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa. From the day we booked our date to the meetings right up before our big day, Madeline, Lauren & the whole team were fantastic. Even through the uncertainty …

of COVID, we were kept fully up to date. We can’t thank you all enough. On our big day, any anxiety or stress we had were taken from us & the hotel staff took it on and made our day perfect. The waiters and waitresses were incredible, as were the food and decor. The reception staff, cleaners, everyone made ourselves and our families so welcome and did everything in their power to make our day perfect.

The hotel and spa are spotless. We had the most amazing, relaxing weekend, and we can’t thank you all enough. We wish we could thank you all 1000 times over. Every guest who attended our wedding had only positive things to say about the whole day & the weekend itself as we stayed there for two nights.

What you people do to make wedding days special is second to none.
We will be 100% be back to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
All we can say is thank you again.

After months of me stressing over planning our big day , I had the most relaxing day knowing all was in good hands. Everything went so smoothly and I was able to enjoy every moment.

My bridal party and I had our makeup done in the hotel and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Whilst my husband and groomsmen enjoyed a leisurely morning in the spa before the ceremony.

The food was fantastic & the evening buffet went down a treat. We have had compliments galore from our guests.

Our bridal suite had the most beautiful view & we came back to a lovely surprise of cake and snacks in our room waiting for us.

Massive thank you to Kathryn, Niamh and all the staff at Ballyliffin Lodge. Your customer service really is second to none.

Excellent hotel, we couldn’t have picked a better location. I was trying to coordinate my wedding from 3000 miles away, the Ballyliffen Lodge made it very easy. Lots of email communication, Madeline and Nathan were both fantastic. The day itself went like clockwork. Guests called into the meal at …

exact time I wanted, room cleared and band set up on time, buffet served at correct time. The champagne I had brought in was chilled perfectly. I honestly could not fault it. From going through different packages with me over and over, to locking my post box in the office for the night after the key was lost. . to the little touches like leaving a tray of food to our room, sandwiches and wedding cake went down a treat at 5 am. Everybody enjoyed themselves and we have the best day ever with absolutely zero stress, and that’s what it’s all about !

We didnt have very much money. Plenty of craic, family and love but very little money. We put our day together with generosity of friends and family who helped with photography, the cake, the music, the invitations etc.

But our day felt five star because the Ballyliffin Lodge is the ultimate …

wedding professional venue. The quality is clear from the moment you arrive for your ceremony right the way through to your last drink that night. The food is second to none and hugely generous portion-wise.

The way the wedding team looked after us and our three kids as the VIPs of the day was amazing and honestly I felt like my experience was so valued and important to them.

We cannot recommend this venue and their staff highly enough. Thank you Madeleine, Ron and Kathryn for all you did for us including replacing our kids meals with chicken nuggets mid-dinner, finding lanterns and lights for us when four of ours broke in transit and helping with the surprise speech by our son!

We had our wedding reception at the Ballyliffin Lodge on 29 March 2019, and we are so delighted we made this decision.
From the first day we went to look at it as a potential venue we knew it was perfect.
The location and views absolutely blew us away with the afternoon drinks reception room and …

bridal suites overlooking stunning Pollen Bay.
The set up for the wedding that day was exactly what we wanted and we were so impressed with everything we heard that we booked the same day.
Everyone we dealt with at the hotel throughout the whole process could not have been more professional, approachable and friendly - we didn't have any concerns at all about the reception and having that peace of mind when planning a wedding is priceless.
The day itself could not have gone smoother thanks to the team at Ballyliffin, and the feedback we have received from our guests on the location, service and food has been fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommended the hotel to anyone planning their wedding.
Madeline, Kathryn and Niamh were stand out members of the wedding team, but all the staff are very friendly and fantastic at what they do.
Thanks again to you all for helping make it the best day of our lives.

Myself and my husband got married in The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa in June this year, and honestly, although I had very high expectations for my wedding day, these were exceeded in every way possible. This wasn’t only due to the beautiful hotel, the surroundings and stunning wedding garden, the …

amazing food, the spotless comfy rooms, and fantastic cocktails, but it was mainly due to the service we experienced from all of the hotel staff. And we weren’t the only ones hugely impressed- our friends and family are still talking about the “wedding of the year” and how the staff at the Ballyliffin go above and beyond for every single guest. I know that myself my husband particularly loved Madeline - she is second to none as wedding co-ordinator for the hotel, and any nerves I had were put at rest by her immediately. The woman seemed to be everywhere all at once on our big day - amazing! The only issue with our big day was when our boisterous 20 month old little girl fell as she was running about outside, and she hurt her head. But goodness, did the staff in the hotel react immediately!!- a first aider tended to her within seconds, one of the managers brought his own car to the front of the hotel and took us to the closest medical centre where they awaited our little girls arrival (thanks again to staff at the hotel phoning them in advance), then minutes later, our little girls head was glued (toddlers

We had our wedding at the Lodge in July 2019 and had the most perfect day! We planned our wedding from the US and booked the venue sight unseen after hearing such great things about the Lodge. We could not have made a better decision! The team there was so helpful throughout the entire process. …

Kathryn always answered our questions quickly and made the planning process stress-free. Madeline and the team on the day did a great job and we did not have to worry about a single detail on the day. Everything was taken care of and we truly could enjoy our special day. The food was amazing, although everyone was stuffed, our guests still accepted seconds because they thought the meal was so delicious. Although we had some thirsty guests, the bar staff handled with service with ease. The waiters and waitresses was very attentive and friendly. The suite and attention to detail during our stay was phenomenal. The Lodge itself is beautiful. We even continued the party there the next day and continued to give an amazing experience. Everyone was so kind and professional. Everything was perfectly coordinated and was beyond anything we had imagined. Thank you again for making our big day extra special! We hope to return soon, Mr and Mrs Quinn

Well on the 23rd of Feb myself and my new husband had our wedding reception at the Ballyliffin lodge and spa. For anyone considering having their wedding here... stop considering and book this venue.
The staff were wonderful couldn't do enough for us. Kathryn never made me feel silly asking for …

anything. All our guests said they hadn't been to a wedding like it. From the minute we booked to the day after the wedding nothing was too much trouble. The day of the wedding Kathryn and Niamh catered to our every need.
The food was unbelievable and helped us have the most amazing day. We also took advantage of the rolls Royce and the driver and the car were just fabulous.

Lots of our guests also stayed overnight and had a lovely relaxing swim the next morning.

Our bridal suite was perfect. And in the evening Kathryn and the team sent us up some wedding cake, sandwiches and orange juice for us which went down such a treat.

Breakfast in bed the next morning just set off the whole stay perfectly.

I honestly cannot say how many times our guests said how wonderful the hotel and the staff was and said they will definitely be back.

Thank you again to the team at Ballyliffin lodge and spa from the new Mr and Mrs Quinn

Our decision to get married at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa was the best one we made. To this day our guests still talk about our day - how amazing the food was, how well everyone was looked after, how amazing the venue looked.
From our first visit to look around the hotel right up to our wedding …

day we couldn’t have asked for more from Nathan, Ricardo and their team. All our needs were catered for and it was wonderful to be able to place your trust completely in a venue. There was nothing We would have changed about our wedding day.
We were planning our wedding from London yet the team in Ballyliffin made that so much easier with prompt answers to all our queries. We were limited to the number of visits home so the hotel organised for us to arrange as much as possible during these trips.
The hotel provided our wedding car & we had free use of the leisure centre for a year.
On the day of our wedding the venue had been set up exactly as we had imagined- every little touch was exactly what we had planned and communicated with the hotel. Everything was perfect! Madeline co-ordinated her team perfectly to ensure every guest had everything they needed. The food was piping hot, service was efficient with no guest left waiting or wanting more.
And what a perfect touch to arrive back in our room after a wonderful wedding day to find drinks & refreshments left for us with a personal message of congratulations from Nathan, Ricardo & the team.
We could not have chosen a better venue - amazing value for money! And amazing staff. Thank you so much! Definitely the best wedding venue in Ireland.

Kathryn and Madeline, couldn’t have done enough to make sure everyone was happy! On the run up to the day the support we received from both Kathryn and Madeline, was simply astonishing, we couldn’t thank them enough. Also to Paddy who drove Seamy and I here, there and everywhere thank you so so much for your patience, Friday evening traffic was not on our side, but he contacted the hotel for us to advise we were running behind schedule, and he was great craic too!! So from booking the hotel for the wedding to the day we left the standard of service was second to none, and we can’t thank them enough!!!

My wedding at Ballyliffin was all I ever dreamt of (and a lot more)! To say you got married in 24 degree heat in Donegal.... outside might I add, is a statement. And it wouldn’t have been possible without Nicole, Madeleine and her team. The morning of the wedding they gave me the go ahead to move …

everything outside for our ceremony. And what a move it was. Beyond the amazing weather, the staff were attentive and a great help in everything running smoothly. They couldn’t do enough and the food and service was second to none. Couldn’t fault a single thing. I had the best day ever and the best venue ever! Couldn’t recommend the team highly enough. Forever grateful. Mr and Mrs Francis x

Our wedding day was perfect. The hotel did the room just as we asked of them. The service and food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed it. Ballyliffin lodge was the perfect venue for us and if we were to do it all over again we would still choose to have our wedding in the Ballyliffin Lodge. It’s a …

classy establishment.

Where do I start......

The moment we arrived at reception to decide if this was the venue to celebrate our special day with our nearest and dearest, we knew it was for us. However we did contain our excitement to say yes until the end of the detailed tour.

During the run up to the wedding, …

contact was excellent and no question was silly or out of reach.

On our day we were made to feel unique with extremely experienced staff.

When being asked what I remember from our day, my answer is always the same... The small things. A reassuring smile that everyone is happy, a comforting chat when nervous and wedding cake that we didn't get a chance to try sitting on our pillow.

Many family and friends have already booked to experience the high quality of customer service again already, what more could justify this hotels passion for their customer service.

Once again, thank you.

enjoying our day. Staff were incredibly attentive on the day and all guests commented on this and the quality of food. Madeline was superb and ran the team with military precision, nothing was too much.

Everyone said the 13th was unlucky but we had the most amazing day all thanks to the Ballyliffin! We couldn’t have picked a better venue - a day not to be forgotten with extra touches we didn’t even think of!

The view from this hotel is amazing and has a lovely wedding garden for photos or even a civil ceremony. The food is amazing along with the staff. I could not fault this hotel in any way, they made our day magical from start to finish.

What can I say about the ballyliffin. Our wedding day on March 29th this year was truly amazing.

The location and setting were to die for and the staff before, during and after were incredible. Nothing was too much.

I had a lot of guests from England, And the USA visiting for the first time. …

They all commented on what a wonderful place the ballyliffin was and had an amazing time.

The food on the day was out of this world and plenty of it and the staff were on hand for any request made. Margaret ran the team that day and it made mine and Claire’s day run hassle free and made the event more special.

We cannot speak highly enough of the hotel, venue, staff and service we received. It really helped make the day that extra special

Thank you to all at the ballyliffin lodge and spa hotel....

Friends and family are still talking about the wedding almost 5 years later!!

Review submitted on Mon, 5th of November, 2018

People still talk about our wedding day! They say it was the best day ever! From the minute we first stepped into the Ballyliffin Lodge we knew we would never get married anywhere else! A beautiful hotel and spa but more importantly the warmth and friendliness of the staff made our minds up …

immediately!
The minute we booked everything was so easy, the wedding planners were so helpful! They were always on hand for any questions! Whoever said planning a wedding was hard had never dealt with the Ballyliffin lodge, they were professional but made you feel like you were the only bride in the world! We live in Belfast so we had to leave things up prior to the day, everything was set up for us, no problems at all! On the day they made us feel so so special! Getting picked up by Paddy in the car, stepping onto the red carpet, champagne in hand, the room looked perfect, the traditional music, suggested by the hotel when our singer let us down created an amazing atmosphere!
The food was fabulous, have been to many wedding since and nothing compares to it! Loved the closhes at the top table! Brilliant touch!
After dancing all night we went to our room and the hotel had left us sandwiches, wedding cake and drinks!! So thoughtful!
Our day was all and more than we ever dreamed off. We have been back every year for our anniversary and they welcome us like friends! They remember us, that sums up the Ballyliffin Lodge, all the weddings that go on and they remember! If I had to do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing!

We held our wedding reception here in June and it really was the best day.

We could not recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge highly enough after our experience with Madeline and her wonderful crew. We had a beautiful wedding and a big part of that was the organisation of the staff, the attention to finer details and they made us feel like nothing we asked for was beyond them. …

Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I would gladly do it all over again tomorrow. Anyone tells us they are getting married the first thing we do after congratulating them is ask the venue then recommend the Ballyliffin Lodge...

My wife and I got married in the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa just over a year ago and the entire event from start to finish was perfect. When I say start I don't even mean the start of the wedding day but the 1st consultation we had with the wedding team. Their wedding slogan is 'You Dream it, We'll …

do it' and with us having an Indian style wedding they certainly lived up to our expectations with us wanting slightly different things from the norm. The food was top class and the staff were outstanding and the owners of this excellent establishment should be proud to have such a wonderful team. I don't normally leave reviews but we were so impressed with the whole experience I wanted to give this wedding team the credit they deserve. Thanks!

professionalism, the magic! All staff will go above and beyond to make your wedding day a dream come true! These guys couldn’t be any more attentive or helpful. Even now our family and friends have not stopped talking about our wedding in the Lodge how amazing it was, the food was plentiful, the treatment they received! Myself and my husband would not hesitate to recommend the Lodge to any couples thinking of getting married or having their reception here! It was such a pleasure to deal with the staff members no question was too big or small, no request was too big or silly! I only wish we could go back and do it all again and we would choose the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa all over again.

We had our wedding reception at The Ballyliffin Lodge in 2013 and it was an amazing day! I had my hair and make-up done in the salon downstairs and the women were so nice and helpful, the food was fantastic and there was so much of it. I’d highly recommend this Hotel.

We had our wedding at the Ballyliffin lodge 2 years ago. The Ballyliffin ticked all the boxes regarding what we were looking for in a wedding destination, as my mum is in a wheelchair we definitely needed a hotel with good wheelchair access and we were so delighted that hotel offered such good …

wheelchair access compared to so many other hotels we looked at. On the run-up to the wedding we mainly dealt with Madeline, she was always so friendly and helpful and kept us at ease the whole time. As my mum is disabled it was always going to be a worry as to how she would cope at the top table! I will be forever grateful to Madeline as she totally took care of her and allowed me to really enjoy my day without any worries.
Ballyliffin will always be 5 star in my eyes!

If you are considering booking the Ballyliffin for your wedding then my advice is to go for it!

The planning process is very straightforward, Nathan is just wonderful, always on hand to answer any questions we may of had and nothing was too much trouble!

The wedding day itself was beyond all …

our expectations, Madeline, Nicole and the banquet team went above and beyond and all our guests noticed all the little touches and commented on how wonderfully attentive they were.

I absolutely recommend the Ballyliffin and their fabulous wedding team to anyone who wants the wedding of their dreams!

"Fantastic Hotel in a Stunning Hotel"

We were recently married in the beautiful Lagg Chapel and had our reception in the Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel. From our initial visit to the hotel up until our check out a couple of days after the wedding Nathan and his team made the experience very smooth and …

stress free. Good correspondence, great staff at the hotel and everything on the day of our wedding was perfect. Even the weather was good!

We had wanted to put up a couple of displays at the hotel to welcome our guests and it wasn't a problem. Mickey at the guys setting up the hotel for our drinks reception had everything exactly how we had asked.

The wedding meal was delicious and also had vegetarian options. All of our guests commented on how good the meal was and the generous portions.

The suppliers that Nathan recommended were first class as well. Mary Lafferty made a beautiful cake, Inish Bow and Style decorated the room beautifully and Heaven Scent provided the bridal bouquet and wedding flowers. Everything was perfect.

I could go on but the best thing to do is, if you are looking for a beautiful hotel with great staff in a stunning location, look no further.

Thank you from my wife and I for helping to make our wedding day as special as it was.

"No. 1 Wedding Venue"

Myself and my partner got married here in august and everything about it was perfect.

From the very start, Nathan was a huge help, nothing was too much trouble through the whole planning stage.

On the day Madeline had everything absolutely perfect, she couldn't have …

done more for us and she made the day run seamlessly and truly enjoyable. The food was no less than 5 star.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the hard work put it is evident. The room was immaculate, with a high quality finish , as was the pool/spa area.

The morning after was equally enjoyable as the staff on breakfast were so pleasant and Lorraine on reception made sure we had a helping hand getting all our belongings to our car . Well done to all at the Ballyliffin Lodge.
