Our wedding day was an absolute dream at the Maryborough Hotel & Spa! Everything was absolutely amazing on the day! Ellis was fantastic to deal with it from our very first meeting to the day itself! It was a wonderful experience and all the staff on the day were brilliant. I would have my wedding …

there again in a heartbeat and would be delighted to attend a wedding there as a guest!!

Review submitted on Wed, 9th of October, 2024

A year on from our wedding in 2023 the compliments from family and friends are once again flowing.

The main topic is always the food: "Best wedding food I've ever had"; "Scallops at a wedding?!"; "I'm still dreaming about the fillet of beef"; "What a meal, indulgent and brilliant!"; "superb …

attention given to my significant dietary requirement", and so on. Truly exceptional and really what differentiates a Maryborough wedding from all other venues - it's not even close.

In addition, the beauty of the orangery was much-complimented. "Fairytale-esque", "unique"; and "just beautiful" are common themes, as well as the generosity of the canapé selection. A perfect place for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception (even with the August rain!). Guests really enjoyed the separation of both the orangery and the ballroom from the rest of the hotel ("it felt like you had rented your own private gorgeous venue"), but also the proximity to the resident's bar (to escape for a quiet conversation and drink when the party really got going)!

To give some personal reflections on our truly special and wonderful day:

- Claire: what an incredible job in running the day. Absolutely nailed it. Her constant attention to detail did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We think she has some form of mind-reading abilities, anticipating people's needs before people even realised what they needed themselves!

- Mary: We could not have asked for a better person to coordinate everything. A fountain of knowledge - very accommodating but not scared to tell you if something doesn't seem quite right in your planning. Exactly what was needed, and it always felt like we were sitting down with a favourite Aunt to plan our day. A master at destressing an anxious bride, especially when trying to plan from abroad.

All in all, a perfect day, which a lot of people have claimed is the best wedding they've ever attended, and all made possible by Maryborough and its staff - who are truly something special. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary celebrations!

This review is long overdue as last year Colin and I had the most wonderful wedding imaginable at the Maryborough. We had our ceremony and drinks reception in the beautiful Orangerie, followed by dinner and dancing in the ballroom. Not only was the venue stunning (we had our wedding photographs …

taken outside in the wooded area), but all of the staff were amazing. Ellis and Kieran were so helpful when it came to planning the day, helping us with everything from menu choices to entrance songs. All the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly despite the typical Irish rain that required some last-minute adjustments. The two things that everyone still talks about from the day were the band (we booked the Bentley boys) and the food. Every single course was delicious, from the starters and sorbet to the desert - the vegetable soup is still the nicest soup I have ever had. The following day, we had afternoon tea in the drawing room with close family and friends, which was a wonderfully sweet ending to our celebrations. We also chose to stay an extra night in the wedding suite, which I would 100% recommend, so you get some time to enjoy the spa and the amazing facilities there. I can't thank everyone at the Maryborough enough for helping make our special day so wonderful, and we can't wait to return for our anniversary dinner!

We got married in Maryborough in July and honestly cannot recommend it enough. The minute we went to view the Maryborough, we knew it was the venue for our wedding. We were instantly impressed at how welcoming the staff were and what a beautiful venue it is.

We knew we wanted to have our …

ceremony and reception in the same venue. The orangery was the perfect location for our ceremony. It is so beautiful inside, and the view out to the garden is gorgeous.

Lucky for us, the sun came out, allowing us to have our drinks reception outside in the garden. We also had our photos taken in the garden, as it provided the perfect backdrop. This also meant we didn't have to be away from our guests and drinks reception for long.

Our reception in the Sherrard Suite was beautifully decorated. The food and wine were a massive hit with all our guests, and there was no problem catering to any guests with dietary requirements.

So many guests told us what a wonderful day they had from start to finish, and that really goes down to all the staff at Maryborough. They were all so helpful and friendly, and the day/night ran smoothly. Thanks to them.

Ellis, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely incredible. She is so calming, and her knowledge is invaluable to us. We never once had to worry about anything, as Ellis was always two steps ahead of us and could answer any questions we had. Knowing she had everything under control really put our minds at ease, and it definitely helped our nerves on the big day.

We can't thank everyone at Maryborough enough. They really went above and beyond for us, and we just wish we could do it all over again, as it really was the best day ever.

We celebrated our wedding in the Maryborough Hotel last year. The whole experience, from the initial viewing to the big day, was absolutely amazing. The team are outstanding and Ellis was so helpful throughout, no request was too big or small! It was a really stress-free experience. As for the day …

itself, the team could not have done more for us. In particular, Donough and Brian. We had such a beautiful and fun day. Our guests were very impressed and especially commented on the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. We are so happy that we picked Maryborough as our venue and would not change any aspect of our experience.
