Wedding Reviews for Radisson Blu St Helen's Hotel

planning a wedding simple.

The food & beverage options were perfectly run, Anthony and his efficient and strong team were always a pleasure and going out of there way to look after us and our guests in every way possible.
Any future event or celebration I will be hosting in the future I will not look beyond the staff or this venue.

It really is a gem of a place and the amazing staff really help in making this.

Cheers for all the team.

Thanks
Gary & Kate

attention to detail was amazing and everything ran like clockwork. Getting married at the Radisson Blu St Helens is a true 5 star experience and we had an unforgettable day. Our sincerest thanks to Kaela, Zuzana and all the team.

from the preparation before the ceremony to the wedding afters. There was a genuine interest to make things going well for us.

The hotel itself is fabulous, very classy but at the same time cosy. Which is what you want for your wedding day: feeling special but also at ease.

The wedding coordinator kindly accommodated all our special requests and worked closely with us to make sure that everything was well planned.

Looking forward to staying again at the hotel for our 1 year anniversary! :-)

attention to detail was extraordinary - no stone was left unturned while we were organising the reception. She was also extremely professional in her dealings with us. She helped us with designing our table plans and seating arrangements, and gave useful advice on flower arrangements and the wedding cake.

The menu tasting was very useful in helping to decide the menu, and the chef even took the time to meet up with us and discuss the chosen menu. The reception itself went off without a hitch. It started with a champagne reception in the wine bar. The weather was fantastic which meant we could take photos in the gardens, and have a drink out on the terrace overlooking the gardens. I should add that the period style Le Panto suite rooms have beautiful views over the gardens.

The food lived up to our expectations and nearly everyone commented on the quality of the beef. The dessert was a tasting plate of three desserts which was superb. The wedding menu on each table was nicely personalised, and there was a pretty floral piece in the centre of each table.

Overall, our wedding reception was perfect at the Radisson and most importantly, our family and friends were made to feel relaxed and welcome as they celebrated the day. I cannot fault one single thing with the hotel. All credit to Zuzana and the staff for the care and friendliness they have towards their guests and for helping to make the day a resounding success!

adaptable (special mention to Zuzana, she took a lot of the stress out of the day for us with her superb organisation skills).

Guests came from all over the world to attend our wedding, so we wanted to treat them to something special. We have since received many compliments on our choice of venue. We unreservedly recommend the Radisson St Helen's Hotel both as hotel and wedding reception venue.

decor is totally different to other venues. We loved the library style dance floor and the old style dining room. We had an amazing day from start to finish and would like to thoroughly thank our wedding planner, Zuzana, for all her hard work in organising the day exactly how we wished. We would also like to thank the operation manager, Justin, who made sure everything ran smoothly that day.

ordinater put us in contact with Paul kelly who took the best (in my opinion) wedding photos ever. The food was delicious and Zuzana organised everything for us which made the occasion completely hassle free. All the staff were so friendly and helpful
and made us all feel so welcome , even the 7 children ! I would highly recommend the Radisson blu St Helen's to anyone planning a wedding. Our guests are still talking about the beef!

the wedding we wanted to have at the hotel and the final result was (in my opinion) elegant and personal without being pretentious.

The grounds are beautiful and on the day we were lucky enough to be able to hold an outdoor ceremony followed by an outdoor reception. This was a great bonus! The setting was wonderful and all the staff on the day were brilliant - professional and helpful yet able to stand back and remain unobtrusive. The dinner was delicious and our guests all looked to be having a great time (we had loads of positive comments on the gardens and on the food).

I'd have no hesitation recommending this venue to other couples. Myself and my husband had an absolute blast at our wedding. The team in the hotel looked after everything so that on the day we could concentrate on each other, our family and friends!

time I phoned or emailed, it was as if mine was the only wedding happening. It is a highly emotional time but our events manager handled every issue with such care, it was so reassuring. As the day went on, people kept coming up to us saying how beautiful the hotel was but how professional and caring all the staff were. Of particular note was how slow our guests were moving from one part of the celebration in one part of the hotel to another and nobody put any pressure on us. The didn't want to move because each stage was so nicely done! They also include thoughtful touches such as a helpful meal tasting before the big day so you can be assured of your food (which on the day was superb), invisible staff who just appeared when needed, beautiful rooms, garden bar and bridal sweet and seamless working with outside vendors such as your hairdresser/makeup people, photographer, florist and cake-maker. If there's anywhere better or more picturesque, I would find it hard to believe. Our one and only regret is that we cannot redo the day again and may be again; it truly was the best day of our lives. My husband and I will make excuses to return as often as time will allow!

special mention to Rodolfo who was so good to us, even though we were running well over schedule Any of the little glitches that there were were smoothed over immediately - there was nothing that caused a problem at all.

We had a truly magical day in beautiful surroundings - it was relaxed and fun and was exactly what we had hoped for. There were at least three engaged couples at the wedding who are now seriously considering holding their weddings at St Helen's based on what Zuzana managed to pull together for us in such a short time frame.

It was an absolute pleasure to deal with both Zuzana, Jodie and I would have no hesitation in recommending the Radisson St Helen's as a venue to any couple.

photographs. Inside the hotel is very glamorous and the Le Panto suit provided an excellent cosy setting for the main evening reception. The Library room in the Le Panto suit was also perfect for having the DJ and dance floor for the after party.

It was a pleasure to have Zuzana as our wedding coordinator. She is so nice, very professional and every meeting was really productive. On the wedding day itself the staff were just exceptional and so helpful. The meal was perfect and there was even a second helping offered. The evening buffet was quite impressive and generous.
My wife and myself received excellent feedback from all our friends and family on our big day and we would really like to thank Zuzana and her colleagues in the Radisson for everything they done. We would highly recommend this venue for any couples getting married!

great the staff were and the food was exceptional. Our wedding coordinator Zuzana was the best, she organised everything perfectly for us. We had the most amazing two days at this hotel and we would really recommend this as a wedding venue.

from our initial meeting with her and throughout the entire process of organising our big day. As well as meeting with us regularly to ensure all details of the wedding were well organised, she also provided us with lots of useful tips and recommendations of suppliers – all of which ensured our day was extra special!

The room looked beautiful on the day – it exceeded both of our expectations! The gorgeous Christmas decorations, combined with the seasonal mood lighting and décor provided by the Radisson, achieved the Christmas atmosphere we were hoping for our winter wedding! The food was outstanding from the plentiful canapés at the drinks reception, to the main meal (our guests are still talking about the fillet of beef weeks later!) to the unique evening buffet of savoury crepes and fish and chip cones.

Operations manager Anthony was incredibly helpful on the day. He ensured every detail of the reception, the speeches, the meal and the entertainment ran smoothly and most importantly he regularly checked that we were both enjoying our big day and happy with everything the hotel were providing. For us this really stood out as exceptional customer service.

All of our 190 guests were seriously impressed with the standard of the venue, the excellent food and wine, and particularly the customer service and had a fantastic evening! Thank you to Zuzana, Anthony and all the team at the Radisson for making our day so memorable!!

unfaltering yet all our interactions with her were warm and friendly. Our big day was an unqualified success from the staff welcome to the well primed waiter service, the management overview and the excellent food and wine. All of our guests have complimented us on our choice of venue with many citing ( and I quote) " the best wedding I ever attended".

breakfast and check out. The staff gave 100% service. They were warm, friendly and courteous to our guests who travelled from near and far. Our family and friends have nothing but nice things to say about St Helens as the staff went above and beyond the call of duty on the day. I would like to mention two people who helped to make it stress free for me, the wedding co-ordinator Zuzana and The food and beverage manager Anthony. Anthony had the challenging task of sourcing the drinks to suit the tastes of not just the Irish but The Basques, Catalans, Spanish and he excelled , he also had a few surprises for us. It was a brilliant wedding in a brilliant venue. Thanks St Helens

met Zuzana we knew we were in good hands. She has all the options ready to show you and we found our meetings great fun. Our menu tasting had personalised menus which were a nice touch. On the day we had Mark ensuring everything ran like clockwork, and it did! Even when 2 guests arrived to the dinner expectantly, the team quickly had places made up for them and ensured we weren't stressed out. All of my guests complimented the food and the lovely gardens. We highly recommend the Radisson, our room was Le Panto which was a perfect size for our 80 dinner guests and 30 afters guests.

gardens surrounding the hotel. The food was superb, our polaroid photobooth set up worked really well thanks to the help of the staff members. We were really pleased with table setup as well as flower decorations and candelabras. The wedding favors and cake were also set up as we discussed. Thank you so much for all this, Zuzana is a great person and pleasure to work with. The beautiful gardens of Radisson Blu St. Helen’s Hotel allowed us to have perfect scenery for the wedding photos and also allowed our guests to enjoy the wedding day in the gardens area. Thank you very much again and wishing you all the very best!

of understated luxury. The formally planted gardens are so inviting. I think the feature that hooked me on my first visit was the ornate charm of the Le Panto suite, with its detailed wood panelling and chandeliers.

The food and drink: The food on the day of the event was exceptional, each meal beautifully cooked and elegantly presented for our group of 50. There was even seconds for anyone who could fit it in, and generous veggies and potatoes. It all went very nicely with the Prosecco and wine. :)

The people: Zuzana, the event coordinator, is a joy to work with. She met with myself and my partner several times to discuss our choices and she listened to our ideas, and helped tailor everything to create a fantastic event. Any idea to personalise the event and make it ours was welcomed. Always lovely and pleasant, and so professional, Zuzana's calm nature was invaluable when bride-to-be was getting nervous in the run up to the big day! Thanks so much Zuzana!

Anthony and Colm made us feel so welcome and that everything was all taken care of, they coordinated logistics and timings seamlessly behind the scenes, so we could completely relax and enjoy every moment of our big day.
Janine, Jibin, Catriona and everyone we met was great. These folks know how to do hospitality with finesse.

Thank you all!
