Ballykealey House

Ballykealey House was the first - and only - venue we went to see before booking. We are musicians with experience in the wedding industry so we knew what elements of a venue were important to us. Ballykealey House ticked all of those boxes.

So much care and attention is given to you at every visit. We went for a Sunday lunch a year out from our wedding to mark the countdown and were recognised by staff, shown around the venue again, could ask any questions. Every couple at our rehearsal dinner were given as much time, attention and care as the next. Being able to sit and chat through our menu choices with the team was an amazing bonus.

Our wedding day was seamless all thanks to the team at Ballykealey. A constant running smooth operation that was absolutely stress free for us. No ask was too big or too small and you were always greeted with a huge smile and lots of humour.

We would recommend Ballykealey to every future couple looking for a particularly special venue for their day.

From our first visit to Ballykealey we fell in love with the venue and staff, everything felt right and we were so happy we booked. Our wedding planning experience was so smooth and easy from all the emails back and fourth everything was covered and made so simple for us. you accommodated our every ask and more. Our wedding day was everything we dreamt of and more, from the service of staff the morning of , leading up to walking down the aisle and afterwards for photo there was someone by my side the whole time opening car doors, holding my dress while I walked down for photos to everything in between. You made me (the bride) feel so special. There was nothing you couldn't do more for us both. The food was amazing - all our guests are still raving about the food and how friendly and accommodating the staff were to everyone. I couldn't recommend Ballykealey enough to anyone getting married, it really is a stunning venue and the staff make the experience. We can't thank Ballykealey House and all the staff enough.

We got married at Ballykealey House on February 6th, 2026, and it was truly the happiest day of our lives. The team went above and beyond, letting us set up the day before and stay overnight since there was no event, it made the wedding day feel completely effortless.

The house is stunning, full of warmth, and cozy corners that made every moment feel magical. But honestly, what made the day unforgettable was the team. I’ve never seen people work so in sync, so on the ball, and with so much care and love for what they do. Thanks to them, we could relax, laugh, and fully soak in every single moment with our friends and family.

The food was amazing, the service flawless, and the energy throughout the day, from guests and staff, was pure joy. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day!

From the moment we first visited Ballykealey House, we knew we had found somewhere truly special. As soon as we walked through the doors, we fell completely in love with it. The beautiful gardens, the charm of the house are second to none.
We were lucky enough to get married on-site, and everything about the day was simply perfect. One of the biggest joys of choosing Ballykealey was being able to have our two dachshunds with us — they even acted as our ring bearers, which made the day even more special and personal.

What truly makes Ballykealey House extraordinary is its incredible team. I have never encountered a group of people like them before. From our very first visit right through to the end of our wedding day, every single member of staff went above and beyond for us. They looked after every detail, answered every question, and made us feel completely at ease. Our guests are still talking about how warm, professional, and kind the staff were.

We cannot praise the team at Ballykwaley highly enough and If you’re considering it for your wedding, don’t hesitate for a moment. It truly is the most wonderful venue with the most incredible people behind it.’

We had our wedding at Ballykealey House this July, and we can honestly say it was the best day - and best weekend – of our lives. From the moment we arrived for our very first visit, we completely fell in love with the venue and the team. In fact, Ballykealey was the only venue we viewed, because we knew instantly that nothing else could compare. We booked it right away.

From that very first meeting right through to the wedding weekend itself, the communication and support were exceptional. Everything was clear, organised, and reassuring, and the packages were fantastic—so much was included that we barely needed to add anything on to create our perfect day.

There were a few key things that really made Ballykealey stand out for us:

✨ The Staff
The staff were incredible from the moment we met them. Warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in making our day special. When we first met James, we instantly liked him—he was so welcoming and flexible, and throughout the planning process he was always happy to make adjustments or offer guidance. Guests are still talking about the food, which was a standout from day one.

Angela and Richael were amazing wedding coordinators—so informative, so organised, and so supportive. They always had great advice and made us feel completely at ease in the months leading up to the wedding.

On the day itself, Alison and the whole team were simply phenomenal. It was like they could read our minds; everything we wanted or needed just happened seamlessly, without us having to think or worry about a thing. Their attention to detail was incredible.

✨ The Venue
Ballykealey House is breathtaking. One of the hardest decisions we faced was choosing where on the estate to hold our ceremony—there are so many beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that we truly were spoiled for choice. The ballroom is elegant without feeling formal or stuffy, and the layout of the venue meant we could move around throughout the day, using different areas for our drinks reception and creating a fun, relaxed flow for our guests.

The bridal preparation spaces were also stunning. The bridal suite was perfect on the morning of the wedding—calm, spacious, and beautifully done.

✨ Day Two
We also had our day-two barbecue at Ballykealey, and it was every bit as wonderful as the wedding day itself. James and the team once again went above and beyond. We were lucky with gorgeous weather, and the grounds looked absolutely beautiful—ideal for a relaxed second day surrounded by family and friends.

We are just so grateful to the entire Ballykealey team for giving us the most unforgettable wedding experience. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care shone through at every stage. We would recommend Ballykealey House as a wedding venue a thousand times over. We couldn’t have been happier with everything. 💕

We can't recommend Ballykealey enough! The venue is truly magical, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or attentive. From the moment we booked until the big day itself, we were so well looked after by Angela, Luke, and the entire team. They guided us through every step of the process, offering advice and support that made everything feel so much easier than we ever expected.

From our arrival the night before to when we left, the team was always on hand to help — and they truly made us feel special. The venue is absolutely stunning, the grounds made for beautiful photos, and the food was exceptional — many of our guests told us it was the best wedding meal they've ever had!

One of the most special touches for us was being able to have our dog stay in one of the lodges, which meant the world to us.

We knew we were in the best of hands, and we can't thank the Ballykealey staff enough for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives!

Absoutely everything about this venue was perfect. They have several locations for a ceremony, each one beautiful. The team are so thorough and helpful in all the preperations leading up the wedding and on the night of the wedding the wait staff are also incredible.

I found them to be very accomidating and flexible with requests too, very quick at responding too.

There were so many members of staff that honestly took care of us. From viewing the venue to the wedding day itself, there was never a silly request that couldn’t be done. We felt so comfortable from early on and knew we were in good hands. The revamp to the Powder Room is also fab. Both hair and makeup commented how great it was and the lighting was perfect as other venues don’t seem to cater for that. It really was brilliant and would highly recommend. We love our food and we couldn’t fault it - the attention that the Chef puts into the food is just next-to-none. You also have exclusive use of the venue so there’s no concerns at all! It’s a stunning venue and couldn’t fault a thing.

Ballykealey house made our wedding the most special day of our lives.

Every single staff member in Ballykealey went above and beyond for us and the day was incredible because of that.

Al the staff should be so proud of what you do, because you are incredible at it.

From the first day we viewed the venue until the few days after the wedding, there was nothing that was too much trouble to any of ye and it honestly made my life and the day so easy and enjoyable.

Cannot recommend it enough!

We got married in Ballykealey House in October 2024 it was amazing day, from meeting with Angela from start to finish she will brill, her and the staff attention to detail was amazing. The food was delicious, all our guests are still talking about how incredible the steak was. The house and grounds were just beautiful and so well kept. We got the best pictures and had the best day there. We just got a teaser clip of our video and can't wait to share with Ballykealey house to show how amazing there work was.

From the moment we began planning our wedding, Angela and the team at Ballykealey House went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. The communication, attention to detail, and genuine care from the staff was exceptional throughout the whole year. Every request we made big or small was handled with such professionalism and warmth.

On the wedding day itself, everything was absolutely perfect. From the minute myself and my bridal party arrived Luke and Alison made me feel so relaxed and calmed my nerves. The venue looked stunning, the food was incredible, and the staff made sure we and our guests were so well looked after. The day flowed beautifully, and we truly felt relaxed and present knowing everything was in such capable hands. Ballykealey House isn’t just a beautiful venue it’s run by people who truly love what they do, and it shows in every part of the experience. We couldn’t have wished for a more magical day or a better team to share it with.

Highly recommend to any couple looking for an elegant, welcoming, and flawlessly run wedding venue.

We cannot say enough good things about Ballykealey House! We visited a number of places during our venue search but Ballykealey just felt ‘right’ immediately. The warmth of Angela (our wedding coordinator) during that first visit was a huge factor. As time went on we felt that same warmth and friendliness from all the staff. As with most hospitality businesses, it’s the people that make all the difference. Alison, Wesley, Luke, and the rest of the crew couldn’t do enough for us and it made our day so special.

We had the best weekend ever celebrating our wedding. We had the whole thing on site from ceremony to day 2 BBQ and party. Our friends and family have been raving about the wonderful food, service and overall venue experience. So many people have commented on how special the weekend felt. Having the place to ourselves for both days certainly fed into that. We couldn’t recommend Ballykealey House and the team enough. If you’re looking for a private venue with options for outdoor and indoor ceremony and drinks reception, the most amazing food and wine (with generous portions) and super friendly and efficient service then you’ve found the place!

We had our wedding at Ballykealy and they were excellent to deal with. They made everyone feel at home and well cared for. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! They were so kind and generous and I would highly recommend them

Ballykealey House was the dream wedding venue. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable. They almost felt like family by the end of our stay. Throughout the evening, they were always nearby, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that my husband and I were comfortable. There was no issue too big, and any minor hiccups were resolved quickly and professionally.

Angela, the events coordinator, was phenomenal. Her speedy responses and positive rapport put us at ease straight away, making the planning process enjoyable. She was a true professional, ensuring every detail was perfect leading up to and on the big day.

On our wedding day, the venue exceeded all expectations. The gardens were immaculate, providing a stunning backdrop for our photos, and the manor itself was a beautiful blend of elegance and charm. The service was seamless, and the food was outstanding—our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Many commented on how wonderful the overall experience was, from the gorgeous surroundings to the attentive staff.

Ballykealey House not only delivered on all fronts, but they also made us feel like we were the most important people in the world on our special day. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful wedding experience.

This venue was incredible they were so well organised and everything ran so smoothly. Both the indoor and outdoor ceremony options were lovely that's why we chose it and because the staff were so helpful and went out of there way. Thank you so much Angela and the team for making out wedding so perfect!

What can we say about Ballykealey? It's a place we'll never forget—beautiful and incredibly unique. We recently had our wedding there and did everything onsite, from the ceremony to the late hours of day two. The venue was absolutely perfect, and our guests loved it.

While the location itself is wonderful, it's the staff that truly made our experience exceptional. The team at Ballykealey is amazing! Nothing fazes them, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their professionalism was evident from the moment we arrived for our first viewing. They were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process seamless.

Don't hesitate to book Ballykealey House for your special event. Thank you all so much!

P.S. the food was delicious!

Great staff, beautiful venue. We would highly recommend.

We got married on 15th June in Ballykealy House and it was amazing! From start to finish the service was top class. Angela, Luke and the team were so supportive and helpful throughout the year leading up to our wedding. The food was amazing, the venue stunning and the staff were so accommodating and obliging to all guests. We also celebrated day 2 of our wedding in Ballykealy House, which consisted of an amazing barbeque in the barnyard followed by drinks and music in the main bar. Although we cannot give enough compliments to the location and venue, it was the staff led by Wesley who really helped to make our weekend so special- they were unbelievable and we cannot thank you enough!

The team at Ballykealey were a pleasure to deal with and made our day so special. Couldn’t recommend it as a wedding venue enough. They exceeded all our expectations.

Myself and my husband got married on the 11th of May in Ballykealey, it was a fairytale from start to finish. The two years leading up to the wedding Angela and Luke and all the staff in reception could not have been more helpful. The grounds and venue itself are absolutely stunning, the food was incredible but the staff are what made our day. Every member of staff made our day incredible. They are so friendly, so helpful and no ask was too big. All our guests can’t compliment them enough. I really can’t recommend this venue enough it was above and beyond all of our expectations and thank you to all the staff who made our day so special.

We cannot thank the staff at Ballykealey House enough for all they did for us for our wedding. They were absolutely amazing to work with, especially Angela. From the minute we set foot in Ballykealey we knew we wanted to get married here. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food was five star restaurant quality and the staff could not be nicer or more helpful. We had the most amazing time and truly could not fault anything.

I could not rate Ballykealey any more highly. Excellent from start to finish Angela with the planning and all of the staff. Amazing.

We had our wedding in Ballykealey House in February and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience from beginning to end the staff were absolutely fantastic and very attentive. Angela was so lovely from the very minute we met her to view this amazing venue , she made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was second to none everything was delicious we couldn't have been happier with the service. Ballykealey overall is such a beautiful venue and the atmosphere there was just out of this world. We would definitely recommend them and would not have changed a thing.

Getting married at Ballykealy was one of the best decisions my wife and I have made (other than marrying each other, of course). We were fortunate to be able to make a trip over and have lunch at Ballykealy a couple of months before our actual wedding date, and the team made sure we felt right at home. No detail was missed, and it gave us a clear picture of what our wedding day, and the days leading up to it, would be like.

Once we arrived at the venue for a few days of celebration, Luke and the team made the process as easy as could be. Everyone was greeted with a drink and a smile, and our guests weren't rushed into a line of process to get bags sorted, etc... Everything was calm, efficient, and friendly.

After a few days of amazing food and well-organized music for the lead-up, it was time for the big day. To no surprise, the staff had an incredibly calming effect on everyone involved, picking up on any small tasks that came up unexpectedly as to not worry my wife and I with the minutia. The venue was perfectly decorated, the timing was spot on, and the night wrapped as any good wedding should, with the entire dance floor chanting the bartender's name in thanks.

As a couple from overseas, having a team like Angela and the group at Ballykealy is the only way we could envision carrying out such an amazing week while planning so much from afar. We'll always remember our week there, and the people that made it happen.

Off to look at photos again...

We had the most incredible day at Ballykealey House. From the first day that we went for a viewing, we knew it was the place for us. The house and grounds are just stunning and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Angela did a phenomenal job of planning every meticulous detail and the day went off without a hitch. We had our ceremony in the barn which is a gorgeously rustic and intimate venue, perfect for our group of 100 guests. The meal was amazing - we were blown away by it at our tasting and it was just as good on the day itself. So many of our guests told us that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding! The service during the meal was outstanding. Wesley, Bruno and the team were so well-organised and couldn't have done more for us. The day was perfect from start to finish. I really couldn't recommend Ballykealey enough. Thank you for going above and beyond for us!

I can't recommend Ballykealey enough. Everything from the food, service, decor was just amazing. The staff were so attentive and were so helpful throughout the whole experience. We stayed the night before the wedding and had a meal with family and friends, the food was amazing and it was so lovely to have the house to ourselves. The wedding day went off without an issue. We got married in the barn and it was beautiful. Our guests were really impressed with the food. We got married in November and the house was decorated with huge Christmas trees it was just stunning. As I said I can't recommend Ballykealey enough.

I have tried a few times now to write just how amazing Ballykealey were, but in all honesty words cannot describe how fantastic the entire staff and venue were from start to finish. They were always so incredibly helpful with every single inane questions we had, made sure every whim was entertained and always had a brilliantly relaxed yet efficient approach to the entire process, which helped keep our stress levels low at all times! Couldn't have asked for a better venue.
Honestly, if you're considering book Ballykealey, do. You won't regret it!

From the moment we went to Ballykealey for a viewing we fell in love with the venue. The communication all the way up to our wedding was always prompt and helpful. On the day, everything went perfectly. All our guests were in awe of the venue, amazing food and the friendly, attentive staff. They really go above and beyond to make your special day one you?ll never forget.

Beautiful House and gardens which are fabulous for photographs. The food and service was lovely and ideal for an intimate wedding

They waited on us hand and foot.
The grounds are lovely, the food was fabulous and plenty of accommodation.

The staff in Ballykealey made what could have been a very stressful day, one of joy, love and laughter. We had the best day and this is down, in a large part, to their professionalism and their skill. Listening to their suggestions always led to the best option for us. Their advice on where to get ready, weather reports, timings and food choices were exactly what we needed and we really appreciated them. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and the highest compliment that we can pay is that we wouldn't want to do it again, because it couldn't be improved upon. It was the best day. Thank you to everyone!

From the minute we stepped foot inside Ballykealey House, we knew this was the one for us! Angela the wedding coordinator was outstanding and really easy to deal with. Angela and her team were very quick to respond to any emails or queries that we had from the day we originally booked in 2021 to our wedding day in June 2023. On the day itself, everything was a breeze! Unfortunately after weeks of sun, the weather changed that particular morning and we had some rain. Therefore our arrival drinks were inside the bar area, rather than the beautiful gardens. But again, no issues. There was a break in the rain and we managed to get outside to use the beautiful gardens for our photos.

Overall, food was fantastic. Service was fantastic. All of my guests thoroughly enjoyed the venue. One of my friends who got married 5 years ago, could not believe how amazing Ballykealey was and said she would 100% go there if she was getting married again and would be recommending it to everyone she knows now, as will we!

We also had Day 2 down in the Barn and it was everything and more. The rain kept away and we were even pulling out the suncream. We chose the BBQ option and it was perfect!

I can't say enough great things about Ballykealey. It was just the most magical day. Thank you! x

From the moment we viewed Ballykealey we knew this would be our wedding venue. The Manor House and its grounds are simply stunning. There is an onsite barnyard as an indoor ceremony option which is beautiful and you can also have your day two BBQ here which is what we opted for. There are also multiple other outdoor ceremony locations on site. The service, staff, and food were exceptional, we had so many compliments from our guests on all of the above! This is truly a hidden gem and we can't thank Angela and all of staff and Ballykealey enough for giving us the perfect wedding weekend. We cant wait to return for a visit in the near future.

Absolutely fantastic staff who couldn't do enough for us on the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself. All very helpful. The venue itself was super with so many options for the ceremony and food was out of this world. All the guests still comment on how good it was.

We had the most amazing day!! Angela and the staff at Ballykealy were so helpful and accommodating!! I loved everything about the day.

Ballykealey was the perfect venue for us form the moment we walked through the door for our first viewing. Although there are so many selling points for this beautiful venue, the staff were exceptional and went above and beyond at every turn especially Angela and Alison who worked closely with us in the day. The food was amazing, the grounds were magnificent for photographs and the accommodation was ideal and reasonably priced. We had the most amazing day and would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

Ballykealey House is an amazing venue with an even more amazing staff. They went above and beyond for us from the very first impromptu viewing, which we asked for after a family 60th birthday celebration, where the food and service were impeccable. Our dealings with all staff during the planning phase were just effortless. Everyone is so friendly and warm and this shone through on our wedding day where we were taken care of like we were one of their own. All my guests were blown away by the quality of food, by the beautiful venue and grounds and by the attentiveness and friendliness of all staff.
If you are looking for a venue that will offer your guests a relaxed country manor experience, with the highest quality food and service, an atmosphere of joy and laughter for your special day, then look no further than Ballykealey House.

We could not have wished for a better venue for our wedding day in October 2022. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond for our guests. Everyone was so friendly and couldn't be any more helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and all the guests were raving about it! The setting alone is so picturesque and a perfect location for the most amazing photos. Everything was so well organised and ran like clockwork thanks to Angela and the team. They really do put the needs of the guests at the forefront of what they offer as a wedding venue. Last minute changes were facilated without any hassle and they took the stress away from us. We couldn't recommend Ballykealey house more and a huge thanks to everyone who made our day so special!

Amazing day from start to finish thanks to the wonderful staff at Ballykealey House. Highly recommend for a relaxing and pleasant experience.

Excellent Staff. Exceptional Service. Perfect Venue. Made our dreams come through.
From the moment we booked our wedding up to the day of and the next day we received the very best service and support all round.
On a side note the nerves got to me (Bride) pretty bad by the time we sat down for the meal. I was sick and had to step out for a while. The entire staff were so supportive. They made sure our guests were well looked after. When I returned they went above and beyond to make sure I got to enjoy my meal and the rest of the night. Which was SPECTACULAR.

Arnaud and I had the best day we could hope for on Thursday 04th August 2022. From the minute I arrived to Ballykealey during our first visit, I fell in love with this stunning venue, beautiful lawns, endless pretty and romantic places for pictures and the interiors are so charming and majestic for a wedding. I immediately knew this is where I wanted to get married!
All the staff is so welcoming and friendly - thank so much to Angela who was so great to deal with throughout all the planning and so accommodating. Thank you to Luke and Allison who were lovely also during the day and made me feel so relaxed, we also shared some laughs which was great.
All our guests and family coming from France were truly impressed with the venue, the service...and the food! Compliments to the Chef, my guests are still talking about it.
I highly recommend this picturesque and magical place for a perfect and elegant wedding.

We could not be happier about our choice of venue for our wedding on the 15th of July 2022. Ballykealey house has so much to offer. There are so many places to have your ceremony and reception in the grounds of Ballykealey house. There is the most beautiful Manor House, the rustic stone barn and a variety of beautiful settings outside such as the fountain, the clearing in the woods and front lawn. It has so much to offer whatever your style. We decided to make the most of the whole venue and had our ceremony in the barn, drinks reception by the fountain, main reception in Manor House and photos throughout the gardens. Our photos are so beautiful with natural backdrops amongst the trees, flowers, garden lights and stone walls and the elegant rooms. The team in Ballykealey were amazing from start to finish. On the day they were exceptional. We were so relaxed as they were confident and in control and also just so friendly and nice people. The ballroom had been renovated between the time of booking and our wedding and was just beautiful.
Our guests were very happy also. Ballykealey house has been a hidden gem. A lot of our guests had never heard of it or been there and were very impressed. The food was exceptional. The rooms and lodges are gorgeous. We were blessed with the weather also. We had one day at Ballykealey and it was the best day. We would highly recommend it to others. Thank you to Angela, Alison and all team. It exceeded all our expectations. We wish you all the best for the future and are excited to return again!!

Fabulous location. Angela the wedding co-ordinator is an asset to the business. She was so honest and really sold it for us. She worked with us and nothing was an effort. Staff were so friendly and helpful especially Cliona, Alison, Tom and evening staff. Food was loved by all of our guests. Ballroom has a fabulous backdrop of the gardens. Ideal setting for pictures. BBQ in the barn on day 2 was just a perfect intimate area for family and friends and food was perfect. My family loved the venue. We had exclusivity the day of our wedding. Highly recommend Ballykealey House.

Ballykealey went above and beyond to help make the day of our dreams come true. Thank you x

From the initial viewing to the actual day it was such an easy and pleasurable process to work with everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to have the ceremony and the reception. The barn was so beautiful and we had the loveliest afternoon having the drinks reception outside, we got so many positive comments about dinner, the quality and taste of the food and the service. Having the venue to ourselves and being able to have everyone stay on site was such a benefit and really added to the atmosphere of the whole wedding. Being able to have all our friends and family together after the past two years in such a welcoming place meant the world to us.

Amazing venue with a great team. Food was gorgeous, we had the best weekend at ballykealey for our wedding! Couldn't recommend them more

Ballykealey House was the most opulent exquisite and stunning wedding venue we could havse imagined. The food is michelin standard, the service is friendly yet professional and the gorgeous gardens and secret woodlands make for a spectacular backdrop for a non church wedding. The stunningly beautiful tudor room with high ceilings, coving and chandeliers holds a covid wedding party perfectly and is nothing short of magical. This venue is a hidden gem and matches its owners other gorgeous venue, Kilshane House, in every way. A perfect venue for couples from Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, Laois and Kilkenny.

"Having looked around at other venues we knew quite quickly that Ballykealey was the perfect fit for us. We were their first wedding since reopening under new management and from the very beginning we were met with professionalism, enthusiasm and a genuine interest in making sure our big day was as we wanted it to be. Angela, the Wedding and Events Manager was super easy to deal with and her wealth of experience really shone through.

Our wedding day went even better than we could have ever imagined! Being able to put our trust in Angela and her team meant that we could relax and enjoy the time with our guests knowing everything was being taken care of. The fantastic staff, the amazing food, the stunning grounds and ballroom, all made our wedding so special for both of us and our guests. We can't thank Balleykealey management and staff enough for making the day everything we wanted it to be and more!" John and Claire
