Bellinter House

We had our wedding in Bellinter House in the last couple of weeks and we really couldn’t speak highly enough of the venue, the team, the food and the service here. We had exclusive use of the venue for us and our guests and couldn’t recommend this more - it is absolutely stunning, from the bedrooms, the drinks reception areas, the ballroom and the grounds everything was presented beautifully and our guests just loved it! The team at Bellinter are outstanding, and from booking our wedding over 18 months ago right up to the weekend they were always extremely quick to respond, they really worked on building a relationship with us, and with all of the uncertainty that comes with a wedding at this time, nothing was too much to ask of them! Denise, Niamh, Amanda, Sean, Derek and Tina were all exceptional! Our wedding day was so enjoyable and well run by Bellinter House and all of our guests had an amazing time - thank you so much Bellinter, we would not hesitate to recommend this gorgeous venue to anybody!

We had our wedding in Bellinter house after cancelling another venue due to covid and the unwillingness of the other venue! The drastic difference when we approached Bellinter with there amazing venue and customer service won us over! They were so amazing from start to finish any question or request we had was never a problem and with last minute changes with covid they were so so good at easing our minds and putting plans into place! On the day they had our wedding running like clock work with big friendly smiles I can’t thank them enough! Special call out to Sean the operations manager he was amazing and a pleasure to deal with! We can’t wait to come back for a stay in the new year

06.11.21. A day Lily and I will never forget. We initially chose Bellinter House because it ticked all our boxes of having an exclusive, luxurious, classy and bespoke venue for all our guests visiting from England and Ireland. Amanda and Niamh were super easy and a delight to work with in reserving and booking the venue and package we wanted. There was always a constant line of communication between Amanda, Niamh and I even during these uncertain times we never felt in the dark. Denise arranged regular meetings with us to ensure that on the day everything happened exactly how we envisaged. During these meetings Denise even suggested things we had never even thought of. Denise was a delight to have in charge of everything at Bellinter and we fully trusted Denise and her team within minutes. When we arrived we met the wonderful Tina, who would be heading up operations on the big day. I cannot tell you how happy we where to have Tina leading proceedings, she was not only a consummate professional, but was a delightful person with amazing energy. She made us feel so special and ensured everything went according to plan. Tina was so attentive to detail and made sure Lily and I where spoilt throughout the whole day/night! We could not thank her enough - a very special lady we hope to run into again! Front of House manager Sean was an ever presence throughout our stay and we could not sing his praises higher, Sean was so important to us the days before, during and after our weekend and instrumental in the nights proceedings. A constant professional but like all things Bellinter made us feel so relaxed, at home and content. The Bellinter Staff made Lily and I feel like we lived at the country house for the 3 days. Geraldine and her team looked after all our guests during 3 very hungover breakfasts and could not have created a greater morning atmosphere for everyone. Paul who was in charge of the Bar was superb in his service to Lily and I and went down a treat with all our guests with a great sense of experience and humour. Cian - one of the barmen we got to know a visit before our wedding weekend was integral in booking the 2nd day party having suggested a great venue for the event. Slav the night manager had to put up with lots and did everything with a great smile on his face. I throughly enjoyed coming down early in the morning and having a quick catch up about the previous nights proceedings with him even though he had been up all night. I wish I knew all the names of the staff that worked at Bellinter, for those who I haven't mentioned a huge thank you too! Chefs (Amazing Food), receptionists, cleaners EVERYONE! Bellinter House was a such a special place with the most beautiful surroundings where Lily and I lived/stayed. The staff/people where so personable and approachable during our wedding weekend. They knew our names on arrival and kept us up to date with everything we needed to know, the atmosphere was buzzing throughout the weekend and our guests could not have been more complimentary. It was very emotional leaving such a place but life moves on and we had to go back to reality. Thank you to Denise and EVERYONE at Bellinter House for a weekend we will never forget and we look forward to seeing you all in a year. Kindest regards, Pat and Lily

We had decided we wanted a large house for our wedding and to have the ceremony and reception all at the one place. Bellinter was the only venue we saw and fell in love straight away. We confirmed a date the next day! Being a strange year, to say the least, we finally got to go ahead after re-arranging 4 times! During this time the hotel were so accommodating and came to us before we even had to call them. On the lead up to our day, they made sure everything was in place and with constant reassurance we felt so at ease. The same can be said for the day of. Derek had met us the day before and run through everything, every small detail we hadn't even considered was taken care of. On the day Tina was there to guide us and keep us and our guests on time. The food, the service and the venue are outstanding and I know many of my guests will be returning in their own time to experience it all again for themselves. We can't thank the staff at Bellinter House enough for helping make our day so special.

I would not ever hesitate in recommending Bellinter House, not only as a wedding venue, but for any occasion.  At one of our lowest moments, with a worsening pandemic, level 5 restrictions looming and with two venues having already fallen through, we had just 12 days to go to our wedding. Bellinter House took us on with zero hesitation. The staff at Bellinter House are beyond accommodating, they were our saviours during such an uncertain time. They felt like our own personal support team, always there for us whether it was a panicked email or a manic phone call due to what felt like the never-ending government announcements on tightening restrictions. The staff took incredible care of us, always there to ease our minds, Amanda was a godsend, so sweet and quick responding to all my queries. As with all hospitality, Bellinter House have all health & safety guidelines in place, such as masks, signage and hand sanitizing stations, but we barely noticed these things, once you were inside those big beautiful red doors you didn’t feel as though there was a global pandemic raging outside, we felt completely safe and as if we were home. Our day went so smoothly and beautifully, all down to the incredible professionalism and kindness of all the staff. At such an incredibly stressful and worrisome time, all the joy had been sucked out of our wedding planning journey. The kindheartedness of the staff kept us hopeful in the week approaching the wedding, and they reignited our excitement by giving us the most beautiful and incredibly joyful day. We did not even have to think for ourselves throughout the day, Tina and Derek were always a step ahead of us, ensuring our guests were happy and could not want for more. The team dressed and laid out our wedding so beautifully that our small number of 25 guests felt like a party of 150.  The exterior of bellinter house is absolutely beautiful and with the interior decor being unparalleled in wow factor, the options are endless when it comes to getting your photos. Our photos were really important to us and we were spoiled for choice for backdrops and settings, from the idyllic front staircase to the funky stylish interiors of the drawing room and bedrooms and from the charm of the spiral staircase to the beautifully lit bandstand. Our photos have turned out spectacular. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and cosy and the attention to detail is next level, we will be visiting for many years to come . Denise went above and beyond to accommodate us, she could have turned us away with just 12 days to our wedding and tighter restrictions a strong possibility, but she embraced us wholeheartedly and gave us the most spectacular, beautiful and fun day we could have ever imagined. The kindness of all the staff did not go unnoticed by our guests. Everybody felt so welcomed, safe and appreciative of such gracious service. Many a toast was risen to the staff throughout the day. If you are planning a wedding, a getaway, a lunch or just about anything, put Bellinter House at the top of your list, if not for the breath-taking boutique décor and scenery, or the exceptional food, then to experience the next level hospitality, personalisation and kindness every single member of staff has to offer. You will not regret it!

I cannot thank the team in Bellinter enough for their help in making our day so fantastic. Our whole event went without a hitch and from the moment we arrived the night before we were put at ease and felt like we in good hands. These guys are professionals in the highest sense of the word sometimes knowing what you need before you do yourself! The attention to detail was second to none and nothing was to much trouble. In the organising of the event they helped us make decisions and when we struggled at our menu tasting pulled out all the stops to make sure we were happy. The outcome was our dream day. The venue speaks for itself it was perfect for us as we didn’t want a hotel feel and loved we could have full use of the venue for our day alone. The main points I would like to put in this review was how the staff who worked on the day of our event made us feel like the most important people in the world, but not only us our guests also! Our guest all commented on how amazing the staff were. The food was fabulous and the chef went far beyond anyone’s expectations when he was presented with a guest with a severe nut allergy that I had not told them about previously. The meal she was presented with was amazing and I know she was very grateful. – sorry about that by the way – totally my fault!!! My son (2 yrs) slept through his meal and when I asked could he receive something later on this was facilitated with no fuss or questions. Again much appreciated. I would like to specifically thank Barbara and Isabelle for their help in organising our day. Massive appreciation and thanks to Aidan, Sean, Derek, Patrick and Aaron who were our man contacts or should I say the people we leaned on the most for the 2 days were in Bellinter. Thank you, we are very grateful. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married. The friendliness and efficiency of all the staff on your big day is just what you need! Once again thank you so much for everything. We can’t wait to come and visit again, we still haven’t tried that hot tub!

We found it so difficult to know where to hold our wedding reception when we got engaged. We knew we wanted a house (rather than a hotel), enough rooms to sleep our guests, a bar in the reception room, a convenient location to Dublin, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere - Bellinter House offered us all that and more! We had the most wonderful wedding day in Bellinter House and we couldn’t be more grateful to the staff, particularly Barbara and Isabelle, for all their help and hospitality. The staff were like a family - warm, friendly and relaxed - and Bellinter felt like home for us on our wedding day. The food was incredible and the tasting we had beforehand was such an enjoyable night. The grounds are spectacular and we were delighted to get a lovely sunny day! Thank you so much again to the wonderful team at Bellinter House, we can’t wait to return next year and try out the hot tub!

This was a fabulous venue for our wedding day, everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and the staff were so hands on and attentive everyone was really well looked after. The whole venue is so professionally run and Barbara and Shiyra were a dream to deal with, it took so much stress out of the wedding process knowing we could just trust the gang at Bellinter to deliver the best day ever. Every single staff member was so kind and professional. No request was too much to ask and they made us feel so at home and relaxed we had the most amazing day. We can’t wait to come back. We can not recommend Bellinter enough.

Wonderful staff and beautiful venue! The staff were so friendly and accomodating to all us and all of our guests. We had a two day event with a BBQ on the second night. It felt like a home away from home. We had to organise our own guests into rooms which required a little more organising than expected but the team were quick to get back about any queries we had. We had such a wonderful day thanks to the team in Bellinter House. Would definitely recommend!

It was only the second wedding venue we looked at but we knew straight away it was the perfect place! We had a small (60 people) wedding but it's a perfect venue for either an intimate or larger wedding so ideal if you need to remain flexible. There were no issues along the way, we organised our own decorations and entertainment, but Barbara was there all the way along to guide and support. They also went out of their way to accommodate some last minute reshuffling. We felt like we owned the place during the wedding and we were just inviting friends and family to stay in our Georgian estate! Highly recommend as a wedding venue.

We had the absolute joy of having our wedding in Bellinter house on the 1st September this year. To say the staff were exceptional is an understatement. I hadn’t one ounce of stress on the day and that’s in no small part to the friendly warm relaxed and incredibly professional style of Barbara and the team at Bellinter. They were on top of everything, nothing was over looked but at the same time they weren’t anxious or pushy and the day just seemed to run so naturally and in a care free way. When we set foot in bellinter on day one we knew this was our kind of place. Stylish a bit quirky and with gourmet food we loved the young but very enthusiastic and helpful staff and the whole place just has a feel of being at a treasured friends house party. I had a list of some slightly mad requests and bellinter never batted an eyelid! Even inviting two furry alpacas to our ceremony was accommodated without any trouble. The food on the day was remarkable it was something all our guests talked about after and the atmosphere of sophistication with a relaxed touch helped us have the happiest day of our lives! I couldn’t recommend bellinter more and if we could go back we would choose them to have our wedding there every time.

As a couple we really enjoyed our wedding in Bellinter. The staff were extremely helpful in the planning and very flexible to our needs as there were certain aspects of the traditional wedding we didn't want to include. They made the process very easy and stress free and the setting was perfect for our wedding. The staff were very accommodating to the other services we used on the day. The food was of exceptional quality and they took on board our suggestions after the food tasting to cater to our needs. We loved our wedding day in Bellinter, the setting is stunning and only the smallest of touches are needed to enhance the venue. We would recommend Bellinter as a wedding venue to all future brides and grooms.

Well, what can we say, we had the most amazing day. Paul, Barbara and Hayleigh and all the team at Bellinter was hugely influential in making our day so special. We could not fault anything at all on the day and leading up to the day. The ceremony on site, the food, the service, the staff’s professionalism, all to a very high standard. Our guests raved about Bellinter and it was such a special place for our overseas visitors who were all impressed. We wish we were doing it all again at Bellinter. Anyone wishing to choose Bellinter for their special day are in safe hands with Paul, Barbara, Hayleigh and all the team. ????????????

We had our wedding reception at Bellinter House on 08th June 2018. When we were searching for a venue for our wedding, this place was the one for us from when we drove in the gate. From the house itself, the lush setting, to the food and staff, they were exceptional. Communication with Bellinter House throughout the whole year and a half of dealing with them was second to none. We were originally supposed to get married during the snow on the 02nd March 2018 but due to safety reasons and in conjunction with Bellinter House, we had to postpone the wedding. During this difficult time, the staff of Bellinter House were so incredibly supportive and immediately arranged a new date for us. They were unbelievably accommodating during this stressful time and we can't thank them enough for their kindness and understanding. The day itself was wonderful. Bellinter House looked stunning. My guests were constantly praising the venue and their fantastic friendly staff on the wedding day and the days that followed. I was so proud that we had our reception there. Any requests that we made for the day itself were followed through. Every guest request was accommodated be it food or bedrooms. We were given the run of the place. Even the night porter, Willie, put up with our sing song and dancing until 6AM the next day. We look forward to staying in Bellinter House for many wedding anniversaries to come. To Paul, Barbara, Emer, Hannah and all the wonderful staff of Bellinter House, you were all great and a credit to Bellinter House. Your passion for weddings and the house itself is clear from the minute you arrive in Bellinter House. Keep up the fantastic work. Níamh and Barry Wrafter

From the moment we stepped foot in Bellinter House we knew it was the venue for us. It has the perfect combination of old world charm and modern style and ideal if you're looking for something a little different for your wedding setting. It has an atmosphere like nowhere else, we felt so at home there as did all of our guests. Barbara, Paul and all the team looked after us so well throughout the planning process and on the day itself. The day was a dream come true for us.

Hi All I’m sharing my review - one I posed to trip advisor a few weeks after our wedding. It’s nearly six months ago now - I still say it was just amazing ! Many Thanks Eithne Ps photos of our wedding at Bellinter at the following link https://davidmcclelland-photography.com/bellinter-house-wedding-fujifilm-xh1-eterna-jpeg-wedding/ I’m writing this review from the plane en route back to Canada, 2 weeks after our wedding date and also on the day of the royal wedding – it kind of feels apt to write it on such a day!! Andreas and I held our “wedding weekend” in Bellinter House on May 5th and we had the best weekend of our lives. It was filled with so much love and fun and that all began in the early stages of our planning with the team there. We had quite a unique relationship with the team, as both Andreas and I live in Canada and with the time difference we spent a lot of time communicating with the team via mail and then on the few trips that we had home. We had guests coming from both Sweden and Ireland and other parts of the world and I had enlisted the support of my sister who lives in the UK and has her own events company (Tracy Lavin Events ) to work with the team in Bellinter to ensure the theme and planning was in place and implemented on the day! It was never going to be my area of expertise. It was great that the team were so cool with allowing Tracy to come in, as on the day to look around the room and know someone from my family made it look so incredible felt so personal and just lovely for both Andreas and I. It was incredibly important for me to find a place that felt intimate and had eclectic taste – so Bellinter was perfect for us. From the first day I walked in and met Barbara it was then I made the decision it was the place for us and faced timed my future husband and said “we’re taking it”. Barbara and Alan were just great and so re assuring. We did at tour of all the rooms, each with their unique sense of style – it was so exciting. As the months past, I was lucky enough to be back home twice and we did all the food tasting etc. and stayed in the hotel (it was all just super). I couldn’t wait for morning as breakfast was so good – the eggs!! Then the day arrived and it was perfect – the sun was shining and we had our drinks reception outside and with music playing and gin flowing the guests gushed about how beautiful the setting was – and it truly was. Dinner, service and the family friend staff made everyone from all other the world feel most welcome. We danced into the early hours and all guests made it to bed or on a bus to nearby Trim. I of course got to stay in the bridal suite – incredible. I’ve lived in a house that is the same size as the bathroom alone!! The next day we had an outdoor BBQ for about 60 people and again it was fab – set up beautifully and so unexpected as I had not asked for this. It looked like another wedding. We played games in the garden and chilled out all day. Before we left on Monday I headed to the spa for a treatment – it was just what was needed. Overall an incredible weekend made possible by collaboration with the great team in Bellinter, patience and understanding in bringing people together and a family atmosphere from beginning to the end. Go see and check it out for yourself!! We will always come back when we are home to stay over and say hi to everyone there. Thanks Guys – Sending the biggest hug - Eithne and Andreas xxxxx

Bellinter House was more than wonderful. From the first day we met Paul and Barbara we knew it was the venue for our special day. The level of detail and support they provided us woth right from the start exceeded all our expectations. Nothing was a problem. Our family and friends were in awe of the whole place, the food ,the rooms and more importantly the service. I wish I had the day back gain.

In a word if someone asked us would we get married in Bellinter house if we were doing it all over again our answer would be a Resounding YES ... it was the most perfect day... stunning hotel amazing food great advice and surpassed our expectations thanks to The fabulous managers chefs and staff. We couldn't have asked for more and additionally our guests were thrilled with every aspect of the day and the following day .. huge gratitude and admiration for the team.

I wouldn't have had my wedding anywhere else. Barbara and the wedding team are amazing. Any query, worry or random thought was answered with the patience that only a professional can have. The staff on the day of the wedding couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. They do the hotel proud. It says everything when after the wedding you are actually missing the team!

We had our wedding in Bellinter in April 2018. From start to finish the team in Bellinter were amazing. They were extremely accommodating for all of our requests and were a pleasure to work with. In particular, the wedding planner Barbara, was very helpful. The day was completely stressfree and all of the staff were fantastic. Brilliant venue for a wedding!

Super food super staff everything was perfect

Amazing day and such care for us on our best day. Food drinks venue and service was amazing! Nothing was too small or big and we loved it!

Amazing venue which just exceeded our expectations. Food was fab and service staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went exactly how we wanted it. The wedding coordinator Barbara is absolutely fabulous and goes above and beyond for everything. Highly recommend- you won't be disappointed!

All the staff treated us so well, as though our wedding was the most important wedding they'd ever hosted. The manager went above and beyond his duty to make sure everything was running smoothly.

We had our wedding here on the 22nd September 2017. Barbara, Paul, Stephen ,Hayley and all the rest of the Bellinter House team went above and beyond from day one in helping us put our day together. The food was amazing and exactly like we tasted on our meal tasting prior to the wedding. The rooms are beautiful. We stayed in the Nunnery room . So elegant and special. The service was faultless and we have heard lots of compliments from our family and friends when they stayed here and celebrated with us. We felt this was the perfect Venue for us and look forward to coming back to visit over the years . Barbara Tiernan was a god send and so helpful to us. She made all the wedding stresses disappear and really made us feel completely at ease in the lead up to our day. Every thought we had in our heads they were able to deliver on the day without any fuss or complications. Their staffs dedication and attention to detail made our day even better than what we had planned to put together. Would highly recommend for a wedding day. You wont be disappointed. Truly a unique venue .

The staff at Bellinter are so accommodating and flexible. Nothing was too much & everything was possible. The flow of the venue is great (we were married on site) and the staff are professional & expert at helping to move the day you want it to.

We choose Belinteer House for our Wedding because it had both the elegant touch and rustic feel that complimented both our personalities. The house and grounds are just beautiful and gave us the relaxed vibe we wanted for our day. Our wedding Co-ordinator Barbara was amazing to deal with. The whole process was stress free and so easy. Barbara and the team looked after everything . Whether your ceremony is outside or inside they have it covered . We were lucky that the sun came out after the ceremony so had our drinks reception and speaches out on the patio. It was perfect. Our guests commented several times to us on how helpful and friendly the staff were. As for the food , it was just delicious . We had several guests with various dietary requirements which were catered for from the drinks reception right through to breakfast the next day . The staff knew exactly what requirements each of those guests had so they didn't once feel they had to explain which was excellent. We stayed in Belinteer House a couple of times coming up to the wedding and it consistently excelled in service . If you choose there as your wedding venue you will not be disappointed .

I know that everyone says their wedding day is the best day of their lives but I really don't think we would have had such an amazing day had we not chosen Bellinter as our venue. Everything was so easy from the moment we decided to book it, from the planning stages with the brilliant Barbara Tiernan, the wedding coordinator, to the tasting evening, to the day itself. Everything was faultless and stress free as the efficiency and calm attitude of all involved kept me sane! From the moment we stepped into Bellinter way back in January 2016, we knew that this was the place we wanted to celebrate our wedding. The grounds are beautiful, the house itself is so cool and quirky and fabulous but it was the laid back, yet efficient, friendly and good humoured demeanor of the staff as a whole that made us realize that this was the best place for us. Everyone on the day commented on how wonderful all the staff were and we all felt so at home- it was truly brilliant. The fact that you have exclusive use of the house and grounds for the wedding is amazing, you truly feel like it's your house and you're hosting the most important party of your lives. We even had our two dogs with us! Thanks so much to the whole team and we shall be back! We would not hesitate in recommending Bellinter House. It's truly a special place. Amy and Gareth

From the moment we met with Barbara the wedding co ordinatior in Bellinter House we knew our day was going to be special. Every step along the way was dealth with such ease and friendliness , we really felt that their aim was, genuinely to accomadate us as best they could. Which they exceeded in doing. We would highly recommend this venue, the venue itself is obviously not a new & modern comtempory style but it is a sophisticated old world dream with a splash of quirkiness and a big dollop of fun. Which is obvious with the decor throughout the house especially in the bridal suite, it's very cool. The staff are excellent and service is superb. Our day was quite chilly so we did not get to take advantage of the gardens etc for outdoor pictures ( our own decision ) but we got some fab ones throughout the house . The food is delicious and they have a super menu & wine list to choose from. From start to finish it was a pleasure dealing with Barbara and Paul ( general manager ) and we look forward to many visits to Bellinter House in the future .

We had an amazing wedding in Bellinter House. The house itself looked absolutely stunning and all the staff went out of their way to make it an extra special day for everyone attending. I cannot recemmend them enough.

I cant say enough about the house and neither can my guests! They were just so lovely and made us feel right at home. Amy the wedding coordinator was brilliant, always had an answer for me and if there was anything I needed, she'd be on top of it. Desmond our contact on the day was brilliant! He made sure the drinks were flowing, the food was coming out perfect, and ensured we were having a great time! Big thank you to the whole team that made our day so special. Literally not a thing went wrong!!! Highly highly highly recommend Bellinter!! Looking forward to coming back!

Stephen and I got married in Oct this year. To say that Bellinter were fantastic is an understatement! They could not have been more accommodating. All of the staff, in particular Amy were so helpful nothing was too much trouble. Lisa and Lenora were also fantastic as a lot of my phone calls were late at night when the kids were in bed. From me visiting with my 3 small kids (several times!) to get them used to the venue and the room they'd be sleeping in. Amy giving me hints/suggestions regarding table plans flowers,speeches etc and basically answering any silly question I had! When the day arrived all the Staff were brilliant anytime I met one of them they stopped me asked me where I was going could they help me. All of our guests without exception said what a fab venue fab service and fab food - I cannot thank Bellinter and all their Staff enough for making our day fantastic. Stephen and I would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding there or any event. Thank you so much Bellinter you are a star venue with first class staff and a fantastic event management team. Cheers Stephen & Sarah

Amy and the team at Bellinter were amazing - we were so happy we chose Bellinter as our wedding venue. We stayed two nights and really felt like it was our own house ! Our family and friends loved the relaxed , cosy and Homely vibe of the hotel also. We all especially love that we can go back time and time again as guests for a hotel break that has it all , spa , good food, wonderful rooms and the friendliest staff !

We were so delighted with the service we received at Bellinter House from Amy and all the staff, Theydid the most beautiful job getting things sorted for us, even the pesky projector and we cannot thank Amy enough x Our guests also from abroad also LOVED Bellinter house and there is now talk of revisiting next year on Golfing/Spa breaks. Amy the wedding fairy is a lovely lady both personally and professionally and she helped us all stay totally relaxed on the day! We would have no hesitation in recommending Bellinter House for any occasion or break and Amy is wonderful at her job, always on hand and She totally deserve her Fairy crown!!!! Thank you for making our very special post-wedding party just wonderful. Biggest Thanks, Kate and Mark

The moment I stepped inside Bellinter House I knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Amy, the wedding co-ordinator, was extremely helpful, professional and lovely! Anytime I needed to ask a question she was there to reply straight away. We had a small wedding and did a lot of diy for the day, Amy and the team were a massive help to us and set up all our decorations, favours, flowers and cake table on the day. The food was excellent and a lot of our guests said it was some of the best they had at a wedding. I couldn't recommend Bellinter highly enough,it's a gorgeous venue and caters for small and large crowds. I can't wait to go back for afternoon tea and a day Spa!

We had an amazing day at Bellinter House for our wedding in September. Not only is the house beautiful but organising the wedding with Amy was a pleasure, we really felt so at ease with her and even had a laugh! She had great ideas about things, but at the same time listened to what we wanted and helped us achieve them. Amy always tried to make things easier and even organised the serviettes to be folded & ready for us before the wedding so we could tie our own menus around them. Little things like this made such a big difference to us during the crazy busy few days before the wedding. We stayed for 3 days with family & friends and everyone commented at how at home they felt in the house. All the staff went above & beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Even offering to get my young daughter a banana from the local shop as they didn't have any when I was looking for one!! The food was amazing, all our guests talked about how much they enjoyed the meal. We highly recommend Bellinter house, and we know we will be back visiting as much as we can.

Sarah and I got married in July 2015 and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. We are still beaming from the enjoyment of it all. Bellinter House, gardens, staff and whole team were just exceptional throughout. The food was incredible, as was the service. Amy and her team were always nearby and were more than helpful. The venue has a variety of locations which we used to full effect, the place looked fantastic and the hospitality was excellent. What Bellinter offers over most locations is uniqueness. You do not feel at any stage that this is the same wedding that another couple had and that was very important to us. The venue has a relaxed feel to it and the Bellinter team do everything to make you feel welcome and ‘at home’ for the weekend. If we had to (and we would certainly love to!) do it all over again, we would pick Bellinter every single time and to be honest, so would all of our guests as they had such a blast and are still talking about how much fun they had. Hats off to Amy and the team at Bellinter, you far exceeded any expectations we had and we will never forget you for it! We would highly recommend Bellinter if you want to have a great time and eat well all weekend, in a beautiful old country house, that is yours for the day.

Bellinter HOuse was in a word perfect. We booked our wedding with only 17 weeks to the day. Amy was on hand from start to ensure that it all went as we hoped. We had an amazing day. The venue is beautiful, food fantastic and service above expectations. Amy herself added the finishing touches to my homemade wedding cake. It's the small things that you remember and nothing was overlooked. We chose to have a low key , no stress , fun wedding and that's exactly what we got. Hand on heart it was the best day of our lives and I want to thank again Amy and Bellinter staff for everything.

can't thank bellinter house and Amy enough.we got married there in July and from start to finish they were wonderful.what a wonderful setting for a wedding.the grounds are fantastic and THAT TREE.such a beautiful location for photos.Amy was really a god send to us for our big day.nothing was too much and had every single detail sorted for us when we arrived. on arrival we were greeted with glass of champagne and a smile.as our guests mingled upstairs were treated to some beautiful canapes and sparkling wine as they relaxed in the drawing room. The main room was decorated just as we pictured it and laid out so everyone had lots of room to sit for dinner.As for the dinner it was just delicious.we had the fillet steak or sea bass for our main course and both went down a treat with every single guest with many comments raving about how scrumptious there meal was. the rest of the evening went off perfectly and just as we dreamed of.the staff were incredible from kitchen and servers to bar and reception desk.each one was more than willing to help with anything we could ask.Amy especially went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. if you are planning on getting wed i would highly recommend Bellinter House to everyone.you will not be disappointed.it truly is the perfect venue for your wedding.

Bellinter House was the first venue we went to view when we got engaged and I immediately fell in love with the house and the relaxed but professional atmosphere. From our first viewing we were made to feel so special and like it was our house. Amy was brilliant with any queries we had throughout the run up to the big day, we had no reason to ever feel nervous knowing she was looking after everything for us. We were lucky to have good weather on the day we got married outdoors in the amazing grounds under the weeping beech tree. The food and wine was amazing, beautiful canapés and absolutely delicious dinner. Try the Rioja :-) All the staff were brilliant and helped make our day perfect. All our guests had a brilliant time and commented on how beautiful the house is. The following day we stayed on and had a bbq sitting relaxing in the sun and going over everything that happened the day before. I would definitely recommend Bellinter House to anyone. A massive thank you to Amy and the crew for the best day ever.

We had our wedding in Bellinter in May 2015, it was honestly the best day ever. The venue is amazing and the staff are brilliant, they did everything to make our day so special…. in advance of the wedding, on the day and the next day. Amy is truly the wedding fairy, her organisation skills are second to none! We really didn’t have to worry about a thing and we both felt very relaxed on the day because of that. I would highly recommend Bellinter to any future Brides :)

Myself and my husband, Mark, had our wedding ceremony in Bellinter House in May this year. What an amazing day it was! Well, it lashed rain all day but the atmosphere in the house was so good we didn't even notice. I had been at a wedding in Bellinter House in 2007 and fell in love with it. When we got engaged it was the first and only venue we visited! Mark absolutely fell in love with it too as soon as we were shown around. With not such a big budget and wanting a more informal wedding we opted for a pig on a spit and a buffet for our reception. It worked out so well. The food was out of this world delicious and the pig on a spit was a huge talking point with the guests! Everyone absolutely loved the food and there was plenty of it. From day one of meeting the wedding coordinator Amy we felt so relaxed around her and she went out of her way to make our day extra special, even ensuring that the house was decorated with all our little personal mementoes and displaying our bouquets and the wedding cake perfectly. Every member of staff on the day went above and beyond to make our day as brilliant and memorable as it was. I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bellinter House to anyone looking for a really special wedding day with first rate food and personal touches from the first day you start planning to your all important wedding day

I don't have the words to recommend Bellinter House highly enough! From the moment we arrived for our first viewing we were looked after so well, all of our questions were answered (even the silly ones!) and all of our needs were catered for without issue. On the day of our wedding, Amy and the rest of the staff were just brilliant - everything went so smoothly (we even got to have our ceremony outside!) and the day went exactly as planned. The house is so unique that we didn't even need to decorate much - which definitely helped with the stress levels! All of our guests raved about the house, the rooms, the food, the staff...I could go on! The fact that we had the place to ourselves for the day was really special as well, we could relax with our guests and really let our hair down! I honestly can't recommend Bellinter House highly enough as a wedding venue - I'd do it all again tomorrow if I could!

I cannot fault Amy and the team in Bellinter in anyway. From our first visit to our big day Amy and the team looked after us and nothing was too much to ask. All of our guest thought the house was magical and many have returned for a visit which is testament to this. I think that it's the staff that make a venue special and this is what makes bellinter stand out as an amazing venue.

There is not one bad word I can say about Bellinter. As soon as we saw it the first time we booked it straight away, we didn't even bother looking for anywhere else. The service they provide is top class, they make it so easy to relax and there was absolutely no stress for us in the lead up or even on the day.

First of all we would like to say THANK YOU for helping us to arrange our big day and it was absolutely fantastic. We are so happy we found Bellinter House to celebrate this day with our families and friends. We only heard good things and it was just amazing. Please also send our regards to the whole house and the staff just made it perfect and the service you provided was very personal and always 100%. We have never experienced such a home feeling and we are talking for all of us (incl the kids

Can't believe we are married a week and a day already ! Just wanted to thank you again for facilitating our big day. We had a fabulous day. We could'nt have chosen a more suitable venue and your can-do attitude to anything we needed or hadn't even thought of, made it truly personal to us and our needs. Everyone raved about the ceremony, the venue and the food especially !

A huge thank you to you and your colleagues from Len, myself and my parents. You all worked so hard on the day and in the lead up to make it a really special, fun, happy and relaxed day. Our Guests only had wonderful things to say about it all, the setting, the food, the servicem it was first class ! Thanks for everything.

Thank you so so much for making our day so special to us. You treated us so well and made us feel at home. No doubt you will be nominated for numerous awards again this year and I will definitely be voting for you guys. All our love

A million thank you's to you and the team at Bellinter - I can't believe that it has been a week already. This time last week I was having my make up done while all the hard work was going on behind the scenes. We had an amazing day and it would not have run as smoothly if you were'nt there running the show. I want to do it all again but in slow motion so I can appreicate every wonderful minute.

Thank you for your phenomenal work. I knew from the minute I visited Bellinter House that it would make the perfect place for our Wedding Reception. Neither us or our Guests were disappointed. Ten out of ten. even with the heavy rain ! You decorated the house so beautifully, it really looked so special and personal. Our guests still rave about the delicious food and "House Party" atmosphere. We couldnt have asked for a better day and we really enjoyed making a weekend of it with some of our guests, who stayed on. We are forever grateful, Love Brian & Siobhan

To Lorraine, we are so grateful to you and your staff for the amazing job you all did for us before and on our Wedding Day. It could not have gone better for us and was everything we had hoped for. Everyone was raving about the place, the food, the atmosphere. We will never forget how special it was! This is how all hotels should be!

Every Bride and Groom will tell you that their wedding day was one of the best days of their lives but not every Bride and Groom have a crazy 2 year old, quirky guests and a horse racing themed wedding! And so when we say it, we really mean it. Lorraine and her team made us feel at home in Bellinter House, like we owned it in fact and nothing was ever too much trouble! So many of our guests have thanked us for a great day, all saying how much fun they had and how it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to! The atmosphere was warm and relaxed and everything went like clockwork. For us, it really was a case of ‘our wedding, our way’ and we couldn’t have pulled it off without the expertise and support of Lorraine. We look back on the day now and it’s like a hazy dream with a little touch of magic and it has given us so many wonderful memories to cherish.

Just back from our Honeymoon ! Just wanted to thank you Lorraine and all the staff for making our day so special. Everything was beyond our expectations. The Guests have not stopped complimenting the venue, the friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. We really appreciate hard work, dedication and attention to detail. Thank you

Lorraine, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our recent wedding on 3rd July the most amazing time in our lives. From our initial visit to Bellinter House for a previous birthday, we knew we wanted to be married there. The opulent, contemporary surroundings coupled with outstanding food and service ensured our wedding exceeded all of our expectations. We felt completed at ease from our first meeting. Your knowledge, advice and professionalism allowed us to enjoy every step of the planning. Your sense of calm and vibrant presence on the day allowed everyone around you to relax and enjoy every moment. Kevin ensured our menu tasting was an extremely memorable occasion and his service and style were impeccable on the day. He also makes the best fruit punch! Rachel's good humour was infectious and she put me completely at ease on the morning of the wedding while preparing all of the little touches. All of the staff made us feel so at home and welcome during our stay and we wanted for nothing. It was like a home away from home. Our guests are still raving about Bellinter House from the rooms to the food and the staff - everyone thought it was the best day, and we completely agree. We would highly recommend Bellinter House for any occasion, especially a wedding. We look forward to seeing you all again soon, maybe our first anniversary!

Above and Beyond: The thing that really struck me about Bellinter House is how they work together as a team. The staff went above and beyond in a few different ways. Their head chef, Francoise, was absolutely open to customizing our menu for our French guests; she was interested in us as a couple, and wanted to make sure our guests had the best dining experience possible. We had a BBQ the night before the wedding, and another BBQ the day after the wedding, and Francoise came out to meet our guests and explain the food, which added such an extra touch that she got a standing ovation from the guests at dinner time (apparently it's a French tradition!) Another area where Bellinter went above and beyond, was the venue set-up up for our wedding. My family members were the band and the DJ so we had loads of instruments and amplifiers, but it didn't seem to fluster the staff at all. They were happy to help move things and set up swiftly. They were more than willing to get hands-on and help with all the practicalities of setting up. Another example was the gardening crew who raked the (huge) lawns on the morning of our wedding at our request - all with a smile. Overall experience: Our experience with Bellinter House was fantastic. Lorraine Cunningham was efficient, flexible and open to all of our ideas. When discussing our initial plans, she gave us some new creative ideas to think about, and was always encouraging when we had some colourful ideas of our own. We were planning our wedding from California, but it was so seamless and stress-free that we could have been planning it from across the road. Lorraine was highly responsive over email, and we organized almost everything online. On the day itself, Lorraine ensured everything ran according to schedule, and our guests were thrilled. Overall, it was Bellinter's unique atmosphere that really won us over. There is such an air of funkiness, style, and laid back relaxation mixed with top-class service, divine food, and country-house charm. Our guests were amazed at the different character of each room; and were oohing and ahhing as they visited each other's rooms. They found all of the staff to be incredibly helpful and genuine, and they thought the food was truly delicious. There is something really special about Bellinter and all of our guests commented on it. It's got history and yet it's right on the pulse of all things trendy and fun today.

Lorraine, I cannot begin to tell you how perfect our wedding was at Bellinter House. I always imagined it'd be great but everything surpassed my expectations - everything was perfect! The service throughout our stay, across all areas of the hotel was outstanding. A special mention must go to the barman Paul who was so friendly to all of our guests, addressed everyone by name & knew what everyone was drinking! Lots of people commented on how good he was. But honestly, every member of staff we came across was just so friendly and happy to help. Nothing was ever a problem. The food, from the canapes, to the meal, to the midnight snacks was absolutely delicious. The standard of food was second to none - really really impressed with it. I took a quick glance round after each course and we had lots of empty plates! The bedrooms were beautiful & the overall feel of the whole hotel was so relaxed. I loved that we were able to get up the morning after the wedding and have a dip in the hot-tub. We were originally going to go to Italy for the wedding but I am so glad that we picked Bellinter House. It really was a dream wedding. Thank you so much for all your help with organising everything! We will definitely be returning to Bellinter for our 1 year anniversary (or before then if I can convince Gavin!) Thanks so much again.

We could not have been happier with how our day went. The staff were exemplary – from front of house, bar staff, waiters and waitresses and of course Lorraine. Lorraine was there the whole way making sure everything went exactly how it should. It was seamless and smooth. We loved having speeches upstairs around the fire where everyone was really relaxed. Dinner downstairs was amazing and the food and wine were fantastic. After dinner we went back upstairs and had a fantastic time dancing the night away. It was magical. We were so sorry to leave the next day – as everyone was leaving they were all telling us how much they loved Bellinter and would definitely be back. It really was the best two days of our lives and the memories from those days will never leave us. We will always be grateful to Lorraine for the everything she did for us – she went above and beyond and helped us have the best day ever. We were so glad we chose Bellinter for our wedding. It was the perfect choice.

To Lorraine, Declan and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all the help and preparation that you gave us for our wedding. We had a fabulous day, it was really brilliant! And we wanted to say thank you also to all the staff including David & Leanor, and thank you to all the people behind the scenes that we didn't see especially in the kitchen! All our guests loved Bellinter and had a super time. They all were raving about the food ! I actually just tried my first bit of wedding cake today, the black forest gateaux. It was delicious!
