Wedding Testimonials
Thanks to Des, Lisa and all the staff at Ballinacurra House for making our wedding weekend so special and unforgettable.
We live in New York and both are very, very busy which gave us pause in booking a Destination Wedding and having to deal with the logistics involved from another continent. However both you and Lisa made everything easy and straightforward. You gave us stellar recommendations for a cake maker, bands, DJ, printers etc.
We spent three nights at Ballinacurra, had 40 + people stay at the house, had 80+ people at the wedding, had breakfasts, snacks, soups, bar, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, two different bands on two nights, a DJ and transportation services. Everything was coordinated and organized for us and your suggestions were spot on.
The house and setting is totally spectacular, but Des, Lisa and the staff are what made the occasion truly great. The attention to detail, professionalism and genuine friendly hospitality of everyone at Ballinacurra was fantastic.
The weekend could not have been better, everybody had a fantastic time and all our guests are still talking about it. We ourselves had the greatest experience and thoroughly enjoyed our special time. There is not one thing we would have done differently, nothing. A heartfelt thanks to all at Ballinacurra House.

Our wedding was many years in the making, many months in the planning, and just a few days in actuality. The success of the day was down to a few key elements, and you were at the heart of many of them. From your helpful way, to your great advice, to understanding that when we needed help with something, anything, and your willingness to go the extra mile to help. I don’t know what we could have done without you!
We may have told you that originally we had decided on a place just outside of Dublin as our wedding venue, but we could feel from the first few email exchanges that their attitude was not what we needed in organising a wedding from afar. When we started communicating with you, it felt right, and in the end, it was right. You are a superstar!
If you ever have a couple considering coming to you but just not sure, feel free to put them in touch with us and we’ll happily share our experiences with them. We’ll always remember our wedding day, you were a huge part in making it as special as it was and we’ll always be grateful.

Thanks to everyone at Ballinacurra House for making our wedding weekend truly unforgettable. The secluded property and grounds allowed us to have the intimate celebration with our closest friends and family that we were looking for.
Planning the wedding from abroad was made easy with Des and Lisa’s suggestions and extensive experience. However, we never lost the flexibility to make the wedding truly personal and it was their ability to meet all our bespoke requests that make the wedding so perfect.
We also need to give a massive thanks to the truly invaluable Declan who seemed to have the ability to be in all places at all times throughout the weekend. He personally solved a couple of last minute wedding emergencies that really made the difference

Thanks so much for the memorable weekend that we spent at Ballinacurra House. We were all completely blown away by the service, the standard of care, the attention to detail and the way in which the staff, especially Declan, made us feel totally at home. I only wish I had another big party coming up to organize with you.

Everybody thought we were crazy to have booked our wedding venue having found it online and never visited. Planning a wedding from abroad is difficult enough, not to mention planning one at a venue you’ve never even seen! Added to this were the challenges we faced in trying to plan an Irish-Indian cross-cultural celebration and to top it all off, the very specific dietary requirements of our vegetarian Indian family and friends. Ballinacurra House, unlike many of the other venues we considered, were excited at the prospect of making our day one to remember. In the months that followed our decision to book, we exchanged countless emails with Des and Lisa to agree every detail. The day itself surpassed our highest hopes. As each guest arrived and stepped out into the sun-dappled courtyard (in Ireland, in April no less!), exclamations of awe could be heard in equal measure to the excited well-wishers. And so it continued as the evening went on. Our only regret as we left the following day was that we could not have stayed longer to enjoy the house and grounds, not to mention the delicious food.

Denise and I would just like to express our appreciation for all the effort and organisation undertaken by you and your staff to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. We had a great day, far more relaxed and enjoyable than we had expected. The feedback from our guests has been hugely positive with all enjoying the lovely house, great food and entertainment. We will have no hesitation in recommending Ballinacurra House to our friends and colleagues.
Damien & DeniseUK
We’re just getting around to dropping you a few lines to thank you for everything you did for us during our couple of days with you in April. Your venue, your advice and your staff made our wedding the magical occasion we’d hoped it would be.
From our first meeting you worked with us to help create something special and all your recommendations were perfect. The Frets, DJ Denis, Carouse, Lorraine the hairdresser, Ewan our church singer were all amazing and having these recommendations from you certainly made our life much easier.
We both can’t say enough about the staff, especially Declan, who really made the whole occasion so relaxed and professional. The food, from the BBQ, to the canapés, wedding meal and late night pizzas, was simply outstanding and everybody was raving about it.
I know our guests appreciated everything you did and as for Maria and I; well you helped make the most special day of our lives as memorable and unique as we’d hoped and we can’t thank you enough for that. I wish the both of you and your venue and staff continuing success for the future. You have created something special.

My wife and I were just married at Ballinacurra House. Though my wife is Irish, we both live outside of Ireland with my wife in Hong Kong and me based in China – and so began planning 8 – 12 months in advance.
From the very first day to the very last minute, Des and Lisa were a pleasure to work with; professional and personable in every way. They were flexible and informed, made suggestions when needed (about every possible detail), are connected to any support services required (from bands to babysitters), and responded promptly and professionally. The grounds are stunning. The staff are courteous, friendly and fun – going that extra mile to make you and your guests feel welcome and special. The food is phenomenal! And – when it was all said and done, planned expenses and actual expenses were almost exact.
Des, Lisa and the rest of Ballinacurra House made our wedding a true fairytale and we recommend them highly and unreservedly.
