Belleek Castle Hotel

We had the most fantastic wedding ceremony and celebrations in Belleek! The Stables, where we held the ceremony, is the most beautiful rustic space and was the absolute perfect location for our service. The food was delicious and each of our guests spoke so highly of the service and all of the staff on the day – they all really made the difference! The atmosphere throughout the whole Castle really is so magical and gave us such a wonderful backdrop for the day. We cannot speak highly enough about Eva, the Wedding & Events Manager, who went above and beyond to make sure that every little detail on the day was perfect and had everything under control – especially calming a very nervous bride on the way into the Stables ???? The whole day was so magical and we would highly recommend Belleek for anyone looking for a unique and magical wedding/event location!

Food was delicious and all the staff were so helpful. Bar service was very slow at beginning of reception but was quickly rectified once it was highlighted. I think for older guests who may have mobility issues it poses a higher risk of falls given the uneven steps etc but this is the nature of a castle. The venue is stunning and so authentic.

There are no words that could fully describe how amazing the venue and staff were both on the day and through the planning, we could not recommend Belleek Castle highly enough to anyone thinking of a magical castle wedding with a unique feel. We loved the day and all we have been hearing from guests since was that it was the best wedding they were ever at.

Make sure to include the midnight pig on a spit!

Belleek Castle truly is one of a kind. In our search for the perfect venue across England, Ireland and Wales, nothing came close! For us, Belleek had exactly what we were looking for, from the elegantly dilapidated (something not easily achieved!) barn for the ceremony, to the medieval banquet hall and cosiness of the whole castle! And to top it off, the food wowed our guests just as much as the setting - we keep hearing "best wedding food I've ever had!". The day went so smoothly, and we all felt completely relaxed, thanks to the amazing organisation by the whole team!

Fantastic venue! The staff were unbelievably helpful and generally just fabulous to deal with, in particular Louise - nothing was too much trouble for her either in the lead up to the wedding with changing guests numbers and organising drinks and food for the night before or dressing the groomsmen the morning of the wedding! The food was amazing and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere for the entire weekend! Faultless.

A real life fairytale!
From the moment we drove under the old castle arch, through the trees, up the long winding driveway and got that first glimpse of the castle, we were blown away!! The castle was stunning, inside and out. Each room was more unique than the last; we got married in the rustic old stables, our family and friends threw petal confetti as we exited the courtyard, our drinks reception was in the wooden armada bar (the wood came from a Spanish Armada ship that washed up on Achill beach), dinner and dancing downstairs in a stone walled function room predating the castle and a sparker send off on the lawn out front. It was spectacular! But, to take Belleek to the next level again - there’s the staff. Every staff member was so friendly and accommodating. Eva and Louise the two wedding coordinators were fantastic- there wasn’t a detail or ask that was too much. The chef Allan, incredible! The food was divine and the menu tailored to us personally.
I couldn’t recommend Belleek more! The most perfect venue for the most perfect day!

Having our wedding reception in a castle was always a dream for us and Belleek Castle was absolutely wonderful.

Louise the Wedding coordinator was FANTASTIC, the moment we met her and the professionalism she and her staff showed us we knew this was the place.

With the covid restrictions we could only have 25 people, the reception room was spectacular. The effort they put in was outstanding !

The 4 course meal we had was absolutely delicious and to this date the guests are still raving on how good the food was.

After out 3 night stay we felt like part of the Belleek Castle family.

thanks again for everything Louise

We had the most perfect day at Belleek Castle. Our wedding guests were cared for and blown away by the hospitality and level of service. My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience at Belleek and from their wedding staff.

Belleek is a venue like no other. From the moment we saw pictures on their website we knew it was the perfect location for us. We planned our wedding from the states and the Belleek team made the whole process so easy. The entire day was seamless and our guests have not stopped mentioning how beautiful the grounds were or how accommodating the staff was. We could not have imagined a more magical wedding day and would recommend Belleek to anyone looking for the perfect castle venue.

The Belleek team were exceptional in both the run up to our wedding, and during the wedding itself. The entire team came together to make our every wish come true. Eva, the Restaurant Manager and CEO for the entire event - is exceptional and is the real MVP. Thank you Belleek for giving us such a wonderful and memorable wedding experience.

From the moment we drove up the drive way into the Castle we felt that this is where we would be married. The location has some many interesting places to visit and explore there is never a dull moment. The staff made us feel comfortable and welcomed. For the trees days we were there we were made fee at home in the castle. There was nothing that was a problem. The staff were organised and helpful. It was a wonderful venue with amazing food a great atmosphere

We can't recommend this venue highly enough. Our wedding coordinator Donna retired mid way through our planning, but we were so well taken care of by Eva that we hardly noticed. She was so attentive during the whole day that everything went off without a hitch. She was just wonderful!
Aside from the staff, we were also very impressed with the food. In particular, we had a number of vegan guests who are still raving about how delicious their dinner was!

We had a fantastic wedding in Belleek Castle. Maya, Donna, Edward & Eva took care of everything & their attention to detail & care of us & our guests was second to none! They were a pleasure to deal with, Donna is fantastic & answered all my numerous queries & calmed my nerves with the lead up to the wedding & guided us through all the preparations. We had both the ceremony & reception at belleek & it all went seamlessly! The numerous visits by Reese the resident pointer throughout the day was a lovely bonus as we were missing our own two madras! A month on guests are still commenting on how memorable our wedding day was - best wedding ever many have called it! Thank you to everyone in belleek - see you guys next year for our 1st yr anniversary!!!

I'm not one for writing reviews but for Belleek castle I will because it deserves all the praise and more that I could give it. The place is and was just magical on our wedding day. The service provided from the first day we went to Belleek to look around it to the day of the wedding and even after words was absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more. Mia the wedding organiser is super, nothing is ever impossible with her and she really bent over backwards to accommodate all our requests. Ciaran in the bar is also great, really good with the guests and basically all the staff were brilliant. The food was out of this world. I'm pretty sure everyone one of our guests said it was the best food ever. And the rooms were just lovely. They were all tidy and clean. We reLly couldn't have asked for more. After being there now on a number of occasions to arrange things for our wedding I really feel like it is a home away from home and if I could I would have another wedding there again.

We decided to have our wedding at Belleek after we had stayed at the castle the previous year. The hospitality we received coupled with the outstanding meal on that night meant that once we decided to walk down the aisle we both instinctively knew that aisle would be in Belleek. Our wedding at Belleek Castle was everything we wanted it to be and more. The level of professionalism from Maya and her team is second to none. Maya's expertise and enthusiasm for her job really made us feel confident that the day would run smoothly which it definitely did. Stephan the head chef at Belleek is amazing! We have heard from our guests that they thought it was not only the best food they ever had at a wedding but some have even said it was the best food they have ever had. We also have to mention the best barman in the business. Ciaran is just fantastic at his job, you feel so welcome in the bar and he always has a story or two or three :) All in all we couldn't fault Belleek its a wonderful venue made perfect by a dedicated and professional group of people. We can't wait to make another trip up there.

Can't fault Daniel and the team at Belleek. Every single thing went smoothly and i can't recommend Belleek Castle more highly as a wedding venue. Perfect.

Overall on the day the staff were very attentive, as the bride I felt the day was magical, the castle ,
inside & out had beautiful surroundings. The food was excellent, I'd give this venue a 9/10.

Belleek Castle was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. We booked the castle almost three years out and had to plan everything from Canada. Due to this, there was a LOT of back and forth - almost 200 emails by the end of it - and all the staff were incredibly understandable and accommodating. Daniel and Maya specifically were kind, courteous and organized. I decided not to get a wedding planner, and if they weren't so amazing, I'm sure I couldn't have pulled it off.

The venue really speaks for itself. It's an old, medieval feeling castle. The ceremony was in the Library Restaurant, the pictures were in the forest and the reception was downstairs. The food was amazing - I wish I ate more of it.

Our friends and family were really blown away by the wedding - honestly just stunned. We didn't get a lot of extras to add to decor - didn't change chairs, didn't change table settings - the castle is so beautiful if you leave it as is, the decor speaks for itself.

THANK YOU to the whole Belleek team for being more than i could ask for on our special day.

Fabulous venue. Really jaw dropping. The food was amazing and the grounds are great for photos. Highly recommend.

Our wedding at Belleek castle was a truly magical day. The staff were so friendly and attentive and all the food was just divine. So many of our guests from England, Ireland and America commented on how spectacular the venue was and how special the day was. Thank you to all at Belleek! Collette and Sean Bourke

From the first time we spoke with Maya the wedding coordinator in Belleek Castle, we were fully confident in her abilities to help organise our wedding in a relatively short time frame!
The team at Belleek were amazing to work with, calm, friendly, professional and highly competent. They made the planning process incredibly easy and were always on the end of the phone or email with a quick response.
We were literally blown away by the venue on the day, we knew that the castle was a special place but the staff pulled out all the stops on the day of the reception. The drinks were free flowing, the fires lit, castle warm and inviting and so authentic. The food was outstanding and was the source of many compliments from guests. The dungeon dining room provided the perfect backdrop to a late night party and we kept it going until the wee hours!
The rooms in the castle, though limited in number are unique and tastefully decorated. We spent two nights here, enjoying beautiful breakfasts and the hospitality of the staff. The venue is private so it was only our guests there on the night of the wedding which really added to the atmosphere.
I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful venue to any prospective couple, you will receive five star service, amazing food and a beautiful backdrop for your wedding pictures.

Belleek Castle is a wonderful place and we were very fortunate that we were able to have our wedding there. Maya and the staff are extremely professional, efficient and friendly which filled us with confidence and were a pleasure to deal with.

The castle is a unique reception venue - the dining hall is just beautiful and was filled with flowers and was magical. The food is outstanding - we did not know Stephen managed to produce such a wonderful offering for over 160 guests.

I would have no hesitation suggesting Belleek Castle as the most beautiful, magical and fun place to have your wedding and for guests to enjoy and have a memorable experience!

Want a magical wedding, in a stunning and unique location with top notch food? You just found it!
We got married in Belleek in August and I cannot recommend this place enough for a wedding. Why? See below:
1. Food:
Most hotels these have the dinner cooked and it’s just left sitting, waiting to be served at a specific time. The meat is nearly always over-cooked and tasteless. The veg comes in pre-packed vacuum bags which provide little or no flavour. Its no wonder so many wedding meals go unnoticed to the guests.

Belleek do things differently. They use fresh local produce and all meals are cooked to order. The standard of food served on the day was exactly the same quality that comes out of their famous restaurant.
We had a selection of canapés served on the day and they were all amazing.
For starters, we had the in-house smoked salmon which was cooked to perfection and a pork pie which guests are still raving about. That dish added a nice medieval feel to the menu.

We had a lemon thyme sorbet which was served with a shot of martini and this provided an element of surprise to the guests and it was a lovely item to include on a menu for a hot summers day.
We ordered the Drunken Bullock for mains and how they managed to serve 200 steaks all cooked perfectly to order, I’ll never know but it was nothing short of amazing. The flaming drunken bullock was a real crowd pleaser as well at the reception. We also included organic chicken in our menu and anyone that ate that said it was the nicest chicken dish they had ever eaten.
How many weddings have you been to that offered you second options of the "other" choice for dinner? That’s what you get in Belleek!! The portion sizes were all substantial, the salmon starter was the size of a full portion of salmon in some restaurants. No one was going to go hungry here.

The mid-night feast is well a feast! Stephen said he would include some surprises and he sure it. We had oysters, selection of cheeses, smoked salmon, chocolate & pear tart, samosas, beef/chicken skewers, sandwiches, spicy wings and a tonne of other stuff that I cannot remember!

2. Location/Setting:
Belleek is set in acres of natural woodland, so you could be here all day taking photos. The rooms inside the castle are also gorgeous, so if it’s raining on the day, don’t worry, some of our nicest photos are inside the castle.

Belleek is full of medieval charm. It’s romantic, cosy, quirky and authentic.

I will admit that when you see the function room without it being setup for a wedding, you do have to use your imagination a little (or just go onto the website to see some photos)……but God does it look amazing on the day. The team at Belleek takes great care preparing the room/hotel with lovely flower arrangements and the many candles just enhance the romantic medieval character of the place.

3. Personal touches:
With Stephens attention to detail with regards the food/menu its no wonder Belleek has received so many awards for food. I don’t think there are many hotels where the head-chef discusses in detail your wedding menu. Stephen was willing to change/customize the menu for us. We only had 3 children at our wedding & Stephen rang me up personally to confirm if they would like all the options on the adult/kids menu!!
Both families stayed in the castle for the weekend and my in-laws even took Paul’s (the owner) dog for a walk around the grounds. Paul also took some lovely photos on the day and did a great job as MC.
Maya/Daniel were on-hand all day making sure everything went smoothly and along with Mary they always replied promptly to any queries we had when we were arranging the wedding from a different country.

4. Service:
The service on the day was perfect. There were no delays in the kitchen. Stephen was constantly coordinating with us how long we had for speeches so at no point was the food standing waiting to be served. The staff were very friendly and professional, without being stiff. This created a relaxed and unpretentious vibe which allows you to feel right at home.

I could keep rambling all day about Belleek – about the standard of food, settings, personal touches, service. When you consider all the above, I think Belleek is great value for money, especially if you want your guests to have a day to remember and provide them with high-quality food. It’s just a fantastic, special place that we cannot wait to return to.
