Bridge House Hotel

Professional from start to finish organisation excellent food amazing staff excellent, it’s a very warm and homely environment, all our guests are still talking about it , service was second to none , I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue for a wedding

We got married in the Bridge House Hotel on the 28th July 2023. From start to finish all the staff at the Bridge House Hotel were absolutely incredible to deal with and we couldn't have asked for any better.

Colleen was our wedding coordinator and I could not reccommend her enough. From start to finish everything was perfect. The food, the service and all the staff were amazing. The guests were so well looked after, and the day ran so smooth. Special mention to Noel and Alannah also!

I would one hundred percent recommend the Bridge House Hotel to anyone looking to book a wedding!

We were very impressed with how we were looked after on our big day by the Wedding Manager and staff in the Bridge House. In the lead up to our big day our wedding coordinator was very attentative to our needs and requests. The food and service on the day was excellent . The function room was beautifully decorated. It was truly a magical day and night for us.

I don’t know where to start with this review, we had our wedding on the 28/06/23 and I am still getting calls and texts with how amazing the day was. We went to view the hotel 9 months ago it was our first hotel to view and from the minute we walked through the doors we knew it was the one. Coleen was our wedding planner and from day one she was truly amazing, caring and totally got what we were looking for. Noel was an added bonus such a funny man who kept the guests and us crying laughing all day but also extremely professional at what he does. Also the Staff all of them from reception, bar, restaurant and house keeping are totally amazing and couldn’t do enough for us and our guests. I can honestly say it was the best few days of our life and we really didn’t want to go home. Colleen I will never forget what you created for us over the few days absolutely nothing was a problem and we didn’t have 1 complaint. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you all. Mr and Mrs Monaghan ????????

The Bridge House Hotel was a dream to work with! The knowledge and experience in weddings really shows every step of the way, from booking the date to recommending suppliers and then finally to the day itself!
We had a civil ceremony in the hotel as well as the reception and we could not have been happier with our choice. The civil ceremony was in the Millennium Suite, which had just been refurbished in late 2022, and it was absolutely amazing. A few of our guests have commented on how elegant and grand the room was!
Although we dealt with all of the wedding team at one point or another, Colleen really took care of us and made sure everything was great for us in the run up and on the day itself!
I cannot thank them enough for how friendly and relaxed they made us feel.
I had always been told that the Bridge House Hotel knows how to throw a wedding and now I know exactly what they mean.

They lay out of the tables after the meal for the band was very squshed over by the bar area 3 tables squeezed in the corner beside the left side of the bar was uncomfortable for guests sitting at them tables

From the day we booked our wedding with Noel, we knew we had made the right choice!! We had the best day and everything went the way we knew it would, no stress no hassle. All the staff at the Bridge House are amazing we can't wait to head back..

Staff great, food amazing, wonderful atmosphere and Noel a brilliant MC

Excellent service, really brilliant staff, can't do enough for you, amazing food, overall perfect place to marry in every way!!

Excellent venue we were absolutely delighted to pick the bridge House for our wedding venue. The staff were always there to help from the day we booked to the day after the wedding. Bridal suite was fab and the food on both the wedding day and breakfast the next morning was fantastic

From start to finish it was great, the hotel could not have done anymore for us, we had a lot of people telling us it was the best wedding they were ever at, the food was absolutely amazing and everything from the lobby to the room we got married in to where the reception was held were fantastic, I want to thank Noel and Dawn and all the staff at the Bridgehouse Hotel for giving us the best day of our lives

We got married here last year after deciding that only three months before. Although there were no restrictions, we had a small wedding and lost some more guests on the day due to covid and the Bridge House were so accommodating. From the get go, we could contact them about anything and got great advice on everything. We also had our daughter’s christening on the day and they decorated beautifully for that too. The drinks reception was beautiful also. It was a fantastic day from start to finish!

Having our wedding at the bridge house was the best decision we made, from the minute we walked into the hotel before we booked it the staff could not do enough for us, noel, dawn and the team are brilliant we needed to change our wedding date due to pregnancy and then lockdowns happend and thwy were amazing with helping us get to our wedding date, our family and Friends are still talking about it the hotel really thinks of everything and all the little details they have went unnoticed, wish we could do it all again but we will be definitely going back every year for our anniversary

We were due to get married 2020 but due to covid we couldn’t , and from day one of covid and all the worries and what ifs the bridge house team were there to reassure us and accommodate us what ever way they could . I was at my uncles wedding a few years ago at the bridge house and when I seen it I instantly knew I would get married there and it was the best decision we ever made the whole team and every little detail about the hotel and staff is spectacular we would definitely recommend anyone to go and look at the venue it speaks for itself you’ll be amazed .
Thanks again to all the team

The bridgehouse could not do enough for us. We had the dream wedding. Dawn our coordinator was excellent all through the postponed dates we had our perfect day in the end and I couldn't thank them enough. So accommodating, the main man Noel himself was such a huge part of our day he made sure everything was right . Our guests all keep saying the food was gorgeous and loads of it. We got great value for the standard of food for what we paid, compared to other venues which we had attended lots of weddings before and looked up their prices when planing and seeing the difference and standards just doesn't compare to the bridgehouse Hotel tullamore , guests all said they would definitely go back. The staircase I fell in love with, it reminded me if the titanic and then I seen it was actually inspired by the titanic which I totally got. Wonderful pictures and memories we have on the beautiful staircase , ones I will treasure for always. I completely 100%Would recommend the Bridgehouse Hotel Tullamore for your big day

We got married almost 9 months ago when the restrictions were starting to clear. Dawn and Noel couldn't have been more helpful. The food was excellent. The decor was great, we didn't have to hire in any decor. The guests are still raving about the food! We laughed from start to finish. They have excellent packages that cover most of your wedding needs. A beautiful venue that were very good to us

Getting married during covid was very difficult following 2 postponements and one year after original date , we finally got married on 19th July 21. During all this all our suppliers were very understanding particularly the bridge house in tullamore. Dawn was always on hand to answer any questions and keep us calm when things seemed out of our control. We can’t recommend the hotel highly enough for both our ceremony and reception Dawn , Noel and all the staff were so helpful and professional. It can be difficult to get everything perfect in normal conditions but to do in in the middle of a pandemic with restrictions and everything that goes with that takes special people and a special venue. We both had the most amazing day and everything was perfect. Thank you all so much.

We had booked our day originally for the 21st of March 2020,but 1 week before covid hit and everything had to be postponed. Everything had been running smoothly until then of course. The team at the hotel were amazing at everything, offering aid with suppliers etc and anything that was going to make out day as special as we wanted it. After many date changes throughout (which Dawn and noel were amazingingly accommodating with) we finally had our day on the 30th of June 2021. With a very much reduced number due to the restrictions at the time however our day was lacking in nothing it was as perfect as it could be. From start to finish the team at the bridge house we're really amazing we had the most wonderful day and they accommodated us as best they could at every turn. All of our guests that attended had the best day, from the food and drinks to a little bit of dancing it did not feel like a wedding with only 25 in attendance. It was truly the best day we could have asked for. We felt like any bride and groom should. It was a wonderful day that we would repeat over and over and that is largely down to the wedding team here at the bridge house. So if you are considering the bridge house as your wedding venue it will not dissapoint.

We had our wedding reception in the bridge house hotel. Very professional service room was well presented and decorated. Food was absolutely amazing and plenty of it. Antiona and noel were helpful. Staff were lovely. Felt very comfortable and well looked after. Great spot. Excellent service received.

Thank you
Sharon & noel

How can we thank you and all the staff at the hotel enough. Every single staff member was so helpful ,kind and made every one feel as though they were your only customer . You made everything so stress free and organized. Mick arrived on without warning and a room was made available to help him right away. The food was unbelievable , the rooms were comfortable. The honeymoon suite was set up so romantic and made me personally feel like an absolute princess. All of our guests had only good things to say .

Thank you for making our perfect day truly perfect??

Mr & Mrs Maher

We had our wedding recently in the Bridge House Hotel and from our initial meeting to the morning after our wedding the hotel staff were incredible! The staff were attentive to every last detail and nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely incredible and is still the talk of our friends and family. A special word of thanks and gratitude to Noel McCann, Antonia & Dawn who helped us in every step of the planning and organization. Noel never left our side from arriving at the brides house until to greeting us the following morning. If there was ever a hotel we could recommend it is most definitely the Bridge House Hotel Tullamore.

Mandy and I would like to thank Noel, Mario, Dawn, Antonia,Tony's culinary team and all the staff of the Bridgehouse for the outstanding service we received throughout our wedding. From planning to delivery we could not be any happier with the support we received for one of the most important days of our lives. Thanks again.

Bridgehouse was a dream to get married in. We had an amazing custom package, the food was fabulous and the staff were great to deal with.

Had an absolutely amazing experience with the Bridge House for our wedding no job was too big or too small for them to do for us ye really were amazing. Can not thank Dawn enough for all her work her friendly smile everything she did was just perfect. Food on arrivals were a right treat for the guest.. From starters to dessert was just amazing thanks a million for making or day so special..

From the moment we booked our wedding at the Bridge House Hotel we were looked after amazing and treated so well.. with the lead up to our big day everyone was hands on and making sure we were all set. Finally when the big day arrived everything was amazing and set up perfect and Dawn was hands on ready to help with any issues(there was none to be fair) Not only was the service from the staff amazing the food was delicious and every guest commented on the desert table and couldn't believe the set up. From the very beginning to the minute we left the hotel we were treated brilliantly. We would recommend the Bridge House to everyone and we will be returning for visits. Thanks so much to all the staff in The Bridge House Hotel and special Thanks to Mario and Dawn.

Service was second to none! They were so accommodation and organised and the whole day ran so smoothly. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the charleville suite looked. The bagpipe entrance is also a lovely touch.

Would highly recommend bridge house the food and service was to perfection and all the guests were very happy

The Bridge House were fantastic to deal with from Day 1. They made the planning process a lot easier for us by always being on hand to answer any question we had. There is so much included with the Bridge House packages that are unique to them and not included in other hotel packages e.g complimentary wedding car, love sign, fairy light backdrop and their amazing buffet of desserts.

Dawn was so helpful in the final weeks of our wedding preparations, nothing was a problem and she took a lot of stress out of the planning for us. Noel was fantastic from the very start. He always found a way to accommodate our requests and his "we'll work out something for ye" approach to everything meant so much to us. On the day of the wedding, Noel was like the extra bridesmaid/groomsman, from fixing my veil when I got in and out of the car, to giving us his phone to take a selfie. He is some man for one man!

From the moment we made our entrance to the hotel, we could feel the electric atmosphere. Piper, champagne, vintage arrivals reception, it was all amazing. The food was outstanding, thanks to the fantastic head chef Tony. He went above and beyond to make little changes to the menu for us and it meant so much, a true professional.

Conor (night porter), organised for us to go up to the DJ box in the palace nightclub and have a dance with Jenny Greene. That was one of the highlights of the night, so thanks Conor.

Overall, we enjoyed every second of the day and we are so thankful to all the staff at the bridge house for making our day so enjoyable and memorable.

Thank you,

Laura and Kieran xx

We had our wedding in the Bridge House on 19th July and they were absolutely amazing. So helpful not only on the day but the year running up to it, anything I needed or any questions I had they were always so helpful. Special thanks to Noel who worked so hard to make our day perfect and keep us calm. The food was delicious and the ballroom is stunning. The guests get a wonderful reception on arrival and are very well looked after. We are so glad we chose the Bridge House.

Beautiful venue, excellent service, very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful atmosphere in the hotel no matter when you go in. Great food and lots of it. Arrivals reception is brilliant as is the buffet of deserts and afters food. There is no other hotel around that does a wedding like the Bridge House.

Fantastic hotel and amazing food & hospitality. Great communication in the beginning but wasn’t as great towards the end, in terms of conflicting emails regarding rooms guests had booked etc. Nothing major, just noticed the difference a little. Roadworks outside the hotel and building work within the hotel never told about until we arrived from England. But in all fairness it was very little disruption. Lovely friendly professional staff and could not do enough for you. Can’t wait to go back. Claire Connell

The best day of our lives. Our guests are all still complimenting us. The food and service was amazing from arrival thru to supper.

We got married in the Bridge House Hotel this year April 5th. What can I say the most amazing day of our life's. We couldn't fault anything about the Bridge House in anyway from start to Finish. I dealt with Barry, Dawn, Aine, Antonia and Noel they couldn't do enough for us. The Food was beautiful, people are still talking about the evening food from pizzas to Tayto sambos, snack boxes and so much more!! If you haven't got your Venue booked you need to go check out the Bridge House hotel. "you will not be disappointed"

We are still on cloud nine after our amazing day. We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the team our day went flawlessly and was just perfect. Thanks again, Love Edel and Brian

The hotel staff were absolutely brilliant from start to finish.. I can’t recommend this venue enough. The food was absolutely amazing I am still getting messages about how much people enjoyed our wedding especially the venue and food . Fantastic.

Antonia, I wanted to thank you and the staff of the hotel for all the hard work and effort that went into making our day so magical. Nothing was to much of a request, you guys went above and beyond. All our guest absolutely loved the day and the hotel, I think they’ll be talking about how good the food was until next Christmas.!!

Fantastic wedding venue. Fabulous staff. The food was to die for and the craic was mighty. The staff are on the ball and so friendly. Location is easy to get to and the hotel itself is fabulous.

We cant possibly put into words how fantastic our wedding day was in the Bridge House Hotel.
From the day of booking our wedding, we were treated like royalty! As were our guests and suppliers on the day! Service and food was excellent and the afters reception was a big, big hit! Our guests were well impressed and they are still saying it was the best day ever which was all down to the Bridge House.
Antiona, Noel, Barry, Aine & all the staff in the BH you gave us a day we will remember for the rest of our lives, thank you ! Love Sinead & Ciaran Kelly x

I just want to thank you and your team for everythin ye did for our wedding... it was just amazing... will definately be recommending to our friends.

Thanks stephanie

Wow! Where do I start! We had our special day in the Bridge House Hotel on the 15th Sept 18. We originally planned to get married in Spain, we had flights to meet the wedding coordinator but my husband asked me to look at just one hotel before we made our choice. We met with Antonia in the Bridge House to discuss the wedding Dec 17. As soon as we arrived at the hotel I got such a nice comfortable feeling. Antonia went through the packages available and I couldn't believe the value of the packages on offer. Within a couple of hours in the hotel myself and himself decided this is where we wanted to get married and it was the best decision we made. Antonia was brilliant throughout the entire planning process. She made everything so easy for us, nothing was ever an issue and was always there whenever I needed her help. Our whole experience from start to finish was amazing. The taster was beautiful, the restaurant staff were so helpful, they advised us on our choices and chef Tony came and met with us to go through everything on the menu which was a lovely touch. Geraldine and all the reception staff where so helpful throughout our planning with booking and changing rooms around to accommodate our guests. The Hotel looked so beautiful the day of our wedding. The arrangement on arrival for our guests was breath taking. We had our reception in the Charleville Suite. The room was beautifully laid out. The food was out of this world, the waiting staff were brilliant, everything ran smoothly. The dessert table was definitely one of our highlights, it was like nothing we had every seen before, it was so beautiful and so delicious. The whole day was fabulous from start to finish and Noel had a big part to play in this. He arrived in Dublin to drive myself and my father to the church and myself and husband back to the hotel. He was by our side for the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. Noel was all we expected from him and so much more. Noel took so much pride in making our day so special. I've had so many calls, texts and messages from guests over the past couple of weeks telling me it was the best wedding they have every attended and I can't thank the Bridge House Hotel and all their hard working staff for making my day so special.

We recently got married in The Bridge House Hotel. From the day we booked the wedding to checking out, Noel, Antonia, Barry, Stella & all the team couldn't do enough for us. We had the best day as did all our guests. The food was amazing as was the atmosphere. We would 100% recommend if you are looking at venues for your special day x

We got married here on the 7th of September this year . We were just blown away by the bridge House they were second to none with everything . On there absolutely outstanding reputation we just knew it was where we wanted our special day to be . They could not have been more helpful . They go above and beyond to make sure everything you dream of can happen and goes as smoothly as possible . I would totally recommend them for anyone thinking about booking there wedding here . ????????????

We had our reception here last month and it was perfect from start to finish. Couldn't fault the place or the staff. 100% would recommend!

Myself and my husband cannot recommend this hotel enough. We had our wedding reception there on the 16th of June and it truelly was one of the best days of our lives. Antonia, Stella and all the staff were amazing on the day and the months leading up to it. Very professional but also personal. There was nothing that couldn't be done for us everything was a Yes! 
The ball room was stunning as was the vintage arrival and as for the bagpipes on arrival well I'm still getting emotional thinking about it.
If you are recently engaged and looking in the Midlands area this hotel is perfect. 
Thanks again for making our special day even more special. Katie & Stephen Kirwan x

As we had never attended a Wedding in the Bridge House Hotel, we attended a Wedding Fair in December 2016 and met Stella. From our meeting with Stella, we knew this was the hotel for us. In the run-up to the big day, we dealt mostly with Antonia who was brilliant dealing with any queries we had.
On the day itself, the Bridge House proved itself to be the most amazing venue. The food, decor and service exceeded all our expectations. A very special thank you to Noel, Stella, Antonia, Danny and all the staff for the professionalism, kindness and experience that both our guests and ourselves experienced. We had the best day of our lives and would highly recommend the Bridge House hotel as a Wedding venue.

Our wedding in the bridgehouse was just amazing ...I had no worries on the day anything I needed or wanted it was arranged...food was amazing everyone enjoyed the food and the manner of the staff was nothing but politeness ! From the bagpipe on arrival to champagne reception and the list goes on I honestly can't thank Stella,Antonia and Noel enough you's really allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams !
Thank you
Mr.& Mrs.Murtagh

The bridge house hotel provided us with the perfect setting for our wedding. From the day we booked it till the big day they were in constant contact especially Antonia. From start to finish it was an amazing day and the bridge house couldn have done more for us. The food the drinks reception on arrival and the care they gave us was exceptional and would highly recommend anyone to book their wedding with them

We got married back in April in the Bridge House Hotel Tullamore and what can I say they really played a blinder so much so that we'd love to do it all over again.. There is nowhere I would more highly recommend than this hotel.. The management and staff could not do enough for us. Just a fab day from start to finish. Thanks guys so much we never had to worry or stress once in ye're capable hands. The ballroom was fab, the food was so delicious especially the awesome dessert buffet that people have not stopped commenting about. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. They really couldn't do enough for us all. They catered for 200 of our guests and they were all so happy and amazed with the service they received. Thank you again it was definitely a day to remember for all involved!!!
If anyone is thinking of booking a hotel in the midlands for their wedding there really is no other choice than the Bridge House Hotel in Tullamore.
And also my sister is getting married June 2019 and shes having reception here also cause she saw how good it was for our wedding.

The Bridge House Hotel staff were beyond phenomenal from the very start to the very end. The prices were extremely fair for what we received, and the food was delicious - our guests are still talking about it months later. The Charleville Suite was the perfect room for the reception, and the bar staff were brilliant. Any questions we had leading up to the day were answered swiftly by Antonia and Stella, and Noel was a flurry of helpful activity on the day.

We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning on getting married, both for the amazing food and staff, and for the beautiful setting of the hotel for pictures.

We got married here a month ago and being an older couple we were looking for perfection......and thats exactly what we got...Antonia,Stella and Noel went way beyond all expectations...they just couldn't have done any more to make our day the most special day ever. The food was amazing and all the little extras have my guests still raving about the day. They are %100 the best hotel ever to host your wedding. Absolutely loved every minute.

Excellent service. Everything was perfect on the day.

It's just coming up to our First anniversary and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bridge House for what was a wonderful day with plenty of great memories. We had both our ceremony and reception here. From start to finish we were looked after so well, drinks reception, reception meal, evening food etc. but all this just doesn't happen without a great team. We were graced on the day with Noel and Stella looking after us, they were both amazing making us feel so relaxed and putting in that extra effort to make our special day even more special. A special word to Tony the head chef and all the catering team for serving us a really delicious meal. The Bridge House is just so amazing for weddings.

We chose the Bridge House Hotel to have our wedding reception. We were at complete ease when dealing with any of their team as they were very professional, friendly, offered very practical advice & most importantly we felt we could pick up the phone or drop an email to them & they were very prompt in replying. Noel, Stella, Barry, Antonia & all the staff were fantastic in making our day?. The food was plentiful & amazing from start to finish and the bar service was excellent. From our experience, we would highly recommend the Bridge House Hotel to any other couple

Where do I start. Thank you Bridge Hotel, thank you, thank you, thank yooou for hosting our wrestling themed wedding !!! Your venue such a magical and wonderful place, where dreams really do come true. You made our wrestling theme come to life, and yet the setting in the hotel was so romantic. We couldn't of done it without your wonderful staff. Antonia is pure credit to your family, she was so relax and calm which made us relax and enjoy the wedding planning process. Stella and Noel on the day where amazing. They both are two profs and everything went so smoothly. Geraldine, your booking staff is a doll and she helped me out when things got stressful. Thanks to all your other hotel staff, nothing was to much trouble and everything went flawlessly with them. The food was AMAZING! HATS OF TO THE CHEF Tony & kitchen staff, for his wonderful display. The food was to die for and so much of it! I'm sure your sick of my face by now, but thank you for assisting me on my every need. The hotel and its facilities is amazing. My family and friends are still raving on how amazing the bridge is and how friendly your staff is. Thank you for having us and cant wait for my 1 year anniversary spent with you. Your hotel remains a really special place in my heart. Thank you again. Jennifer & Mick Elliott

Hi, we got married in the Bridge House hotel in November. They couldn't have done more for us on the day. The day went really smoothly and you can trust that the hotel will have everything spot on for you. They also make you feel very special and we would highly recommend them.

The Millennium Suite creates an elegant and classic atmosphere. All staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is exquisite and the the hotels features create picturesque moments.

This hotel and the team are simply amazing. Both myself and Daniel could not have wished for a more fantastic day. Every detail possible was taken care of, from the food(my god the food was out of this world) to the champagne arrival, the decor of our ballroom and the overall service was just amazing. All our guest were raving about it. Stella and the team she had behind her made our day completely magical... It was beyond a 5* rating

The staff at the Bridge House Hotel went out of their way to make the day such a success for us. We couldn't believe how easily everything fell into place on the day and we now know that it was all down to the staff and their professionalism. We can't thank them enough and would definitely have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for your wedding. The only issue we had on the day was that it went too fast - can we do it all over again please?

You won't do much better than the Bridge House. Antonia for all the organisation right up until the big day and Noel and Stella shone on the day itself
Highly recommend to all couples

Myself and my wife had our reception in the ballroom in the Bridge House. The setting was beautiful, they had purple lighting to go with the bridesmaids colour dresses. They put in a lot of effort to make it special for both us and our guest's and it really showed on the day. Everyone was blown away by the room. They also make you feel special when you go for the menu tasting. They have your food choices done out on a menu welcoming you both. The food tasting was exceptional, we both thought that it would be just sample sizes but they exceeded our expectations as everything was full portions. And then you get to meet with the chef afterwards to go through your menu and make sure that everything is to your liking. We thought that this was a very nice touch. The hotel staff were second to none, could not fault them in any way. We both got 6 months free gym membership and offered to go back for our 1 yr anniversary. Antonia and Noel are lovely to deal with, they go through every little detail and make sure that everything goes to plan. We both would 100% recommend the Bridge House Hotel to anyone who is thinking about getting married

Excellent from start to finish no pressure or rushing and looked after us perfectly. Best in the business by far thank you so much for making our wedding so perfect x

I would like to share how amazing we found the Bridge House venue to be in catering for our wedding on the 1st of July. We were blown away by how perfectly they managed the lead up to our day, our special day and even the aftermath. We could not have expected more professionalism, diligence and perfection. From the delightful wedding coordinator Antonia at the start of our journey, to Barry the fantastic and competent Events manager, to Noel who drove us on the day and looked after us in every possible way, to the Reception staff and the lovely Arlene and not even forgetting the wonderful Leisure Centre staff who were so kind and helpful in the lead up to the big day- I cannot praise and thank everybody enough. The BH went above and beyond our expectations in presentation, service, food and attention to detail. I cannot recommend the venue enough!! On the second day, we had a barbeque and the food for the second time was sensational! We could not believe the spread they put on for us. They finished our wedding celebrations as they started and we could not be more grateful. Antonia, Barry, Noel and the entire friendly staff thank you so much.

Our wedding day was out of this world - we couldn't have asked for more from start to finish. Every detail was looked after so well, and every guest was in awe at the set up, the food, the atmosphere. It was just perfect, thank you for everything. The whole team just go out of their way to ensure your day is perfect, I've never seen anything like it. Keep doing what you're doing, and anyone thinking of the Bridge House as a venue - I can't recommend them enough.

We went to the summer wedding fair in the bridge house hotel in 2016. From the minute we arrived we where treated so well answered all out questions Brought us through everything so clearly.The following day we booked our wedding, We dealt with Antonia and team all the way through they where always there at the end of the phone if we ever needed anything. Few weeks before the wedding we where brought into the hotel for a tasting and it was so good we went through everything met the chef, Stella went through the timeline for the day, table displays everything. The day of the wedding Noel was outstanding he was there for us all the way through the day. Everything was so professional the team knew exactly what to do and when.

The meal was beautiful and the dessert table was incredible everyone couldn't believe the table. The food during the night was perfect also and so much to go around. The tayto sandwich was a nice touch at the end of the night.

We had a lot of people staying at the hotel from Galway and the UK and they all praised the standard of the rooms, food and the staff so much.

Myself and Melissa would highly recommend the bridge house hotel, never have we been so pleased with the way we where treated. We couldn't have asked for anything else on the day as the team at the bridge house hotel had everything covered. We would say the team would be able to do a wedding with there eyes closed after how smoothly everything went.

Our Wedding day at the Bridge House Hotel exceeded our expectations. After attending a wedding there the previous year, we knew this was the venue for us. We planned our wedding from Australia and what we thought would be difficult was made effortless. As we only arrived home to Ireland a few weeks before the wedding day I thought it was impossible for us to do the menu tasting but Antonia organised it all for us and we were given a friendly welcome and had a lovely evening together with my parents.We cannot thank, Antonia, Danny, Noel and all the staff at the hotel enough for their help and expert advice throughout the planning process. Everything on our wedding day was perfect. The warm welcome our guests and ourselves received was amazing. The food was superb, our guests raved about it for days. The team had placed all our extra wedding accessories perfectly and attended to everything in a friendly manner. The ballroom was beautiful, all the little extra touches the hotel provide is such a lovely gesture. Although we had a large number of guests the room still felt intimate.We would highly recommend this venue, they really go above and beyond.

We can not thank the staff of the Bridge House Hotel enough! They were all so friendly and helpful! We ended up having our wedding there due to very different circumstances which meant bringing 200 Cork people up to Tullamore for the weekend. As you can imagine, the distance meant relying heavily on calls, emails and weekend trips. Stella and Antonia, our Wedding Coordinators were more than amazing, to handle a bride who likes to be in control! I couldn't have asked for better people to ease any worries I may have had.
The rooming staff were also fantastic, putting up with my hundreds of emails re numbers and swappings.
The front desk staff were so helpful the night before the wedding and even the morning of, helping with last minute printing.
I don't know where to begin about the food, there is nothing to fault, the quality and presentation were flawless. They kindly organised a lovely meal for all our guests the night before the wedding, something we did not expect, it was a great idea because it gave all our loved ones and friends an opportunity to meet each which meant there were some lovely friendships for the wedding. In fact, all our guests were raving about how amazing the hotel was. So much so that when we arrived home from honeymoon, many people in town were telling us all the good stories they heard from our guests. I know a few Cork people will be heading there for breaks very shortly!
Of course we can't forget the Social Butterfly that is Noel, what a man! From the first time I met him, to treating my parents to a lovely tour of all the hotel had to offer, to the morning after the wedding, Noel was talking to everyone and helping anyone who needed it.
The Bridge House is a place we will always have special memories for and can't wait to be there again for our anniversary.

The staff and management of the bridge house hotel went above and beyond to make our day special. From the moment we booked our wedding we were treated so well. Could not fault a single thing. The food service and atmosphere were excellent our guests are still talking about how fabulous the day was.

To anyone considering booking their wedding in the Bridge House Hotel Tullamore or at a stage where theyre only starting to look around please consider this hotel. From the moment i walked in during a wedding fair it was like a fairytale. Having seen it, i couldnt get it out of my mind even whilst looking at other hotels, we both knew we had to go and book it. From that first day until the morning after our wedding day ive had nothing but praise for them. Each member of staff was so helpful from the word go and were always only a phonecall away. Even when sad family circumstances meant we didnt know if our wedding could go ahead, they couldnt do enough for us and were willing to work with us to make it happen no matter what. We had a wedding day that will never be forgotten and so many agreed. People spoke afterwards of the wow factor from start to finish and we cant argue with that. The food, the service, the friendliness, the helpfullness etc etc was exceptional. The Bridge House will simply give you the wedding day that every girl has imagined all their lives. We are so so grateful to them for every minute of it. Dont hesitate in considering your choice of hotel.

We booked our wedding the end of February this year for September this year, we were a bit apprehensive at first with only 7 months to plan everything, but our wedding co-ordinator Antonia put us at ease straight away and assured us we could definitely do it.
With herself, Noel and Stella's help, I'm confident now we could have even done it in less time!
From the word go they made us feel like we were their one and only wedding,not just on our day but this year.
They went out of their way for every little detail, no queries was too silly, big or small.
They were on mail, phone or told us to call in at anytime if we wanted.
The staircase and ballroom was the big seller for us.
Sweeping Titanic style staircase was so romantic and stunning for pictures.
We had a 1930's theme so everything in the hotel fit the theme perfectly, it just oozes glamour.
The ballroom is simply breathtaking and everyone is still commenting on how well it looked.
We stayed the following night after the wedding and had a fantastic meal in The Balcone Restaurant 30 close family and friends. Marena the manager was a diamond, she brought colouring books and crayons over to the children in the group and fussed over them, and gave them their own table just beside us for their desert, they felt so important and gave the adults in the group a breather for a few minutes.
I'd highly recommend The Bridge House Hotel to any bride and groom still searching for their venue.

We would like to thank all the staff at the bridge house hotel especially Antonia and Stella for making our day perfect the service and food were excellent all our guests had a wonderful time we would highly recommend any couples who are thinking of booking the bridge house hotel not to to hesitate they won't be disappointed we hope to return again soon
Best wishes

I can not compliment the service we received enough! There was absolutely no stress at all. The staff at the Bridge House Hotel are so professional and all of our needs were catered for plus some! From start to finish everything was amazing. The team were great and really made us feel relaxed!

The staff at the Bridge House Hotel were phenomenal in everything the did. Their planning, organisation and implementation on the day was excellent.

It does sound cliché to say your wedding day was the best day of your life, but in my case this is definitely the case. From start to finish my wedding day was magical. Every aspect of the day was perfect, the food was amazing – including the gorgeous vintage arrival reception, which really is a lovely treat as your guests arrive to the hotel. Our meal was absolutely beautiful – every course was superb and guests still talk about it months later – every aspect was divine, and the buffet dessert is the perfect ending. The love is in the detail, and the Bridge House Hotel really go out of their way to ensure every detail of your day is spectacular. The team are exceptional, and every query is dealt with in a friendly and helpful manner. I cannot recommend the Bridge House highly enough!

Every detail from beginning to end of the weekend was looked after impeccably by the staff of the bridge house. Food is great quality and quantity and we had hungry country people to please
Antonia and Stella were a dream to work with and made the organising and planning stress free. We cannot praise or thank you girls and all the staff enough.

The bridge house hotel has the most friendliest of staff I have ever came across. They went above and beyond to make our weekend the most amazing time. The food was exceptional and I'm still getting feedback from my guests saying it was the best wedding they were ever at. I cant thank them enough and am so glad I picked the bridge house

Would recommend bridge house hotel for any future brides we had a carefree experience from start to finish with all the staff doing a great job a big thanks to catriona Stella antonia &noel mcann no job was to big for ye. Everything was 100% &more on the day food was fab & hot quick service.&guest still taking bout evening food there was so much pizza &everything????????.thanks again for making our day so special looking forward to goin back for our anniversary. ????

My wedding experience at the The Bridge house Hotel exceeded my expectations. It was the best day of my life and the guests are still talking about it. The staff know everything that had to be done and were extremely helpful as I was in England and most things were done via email.

I will always remember this day. It was amazing.
A big thank you to Antonia and the staff, they were brilliant.

I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to future wedding couples.

My wedding in the Bridge Hotel was the best anyone could have wished for. The standard of service and care from Antonia throughout the lead up to it was outstanding. And on the day itself, service again outstanding from Stella and Noel Mc Cann was first class. I had visitors from Scotland, England and America and they were all very impressed with the hotel from start to finish. The meal was superb and pipng hot which was a worry to me and the evening buffet equally tasty! The bridal suite was beautiful and I look forward to returning for our 1st Anniversary!!! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I would highly recommend to any bride thinking of having their wedding here, to go ahead and book it - you won't find anything as good and brilliant value for money. As my granddaughter Grace said when she walked in "WOW" !!!!!!!!

We planned our wedding in about a month, it was pretty hectic but the management helped so much by taking over majority of the planning, I would make a list and everything would be sorted ASAP. They are extremely flexible with any changes.
For busy brides, this is the perfect venue as they'll take care of everything.

Beautiful venue. Excellent staff that go that extra mile to make sure the day goes 100%. We would definately recommend The Bridge House as a wedding venue.

The bridge house hotel is the best place if you are planning your wedding for the future. They are so professional and take pride in giving you the best day of your life. We can not give them enough praise on how we as the bridal couple were treated but all of our guest have given us feedback on how much they enjoyed the hotel and how well treated they were by staff. They will go beyond there duty to help from day one when you book with them to the day of your wedding on all preparations you would like for that special day.

There is nothing you could fault about the Bridge House. From the moment you book they offer outstanding customer service. Our wedding day was magical here and our guests can not get over the whole experience between service, added extras, amount and quality of food. 100% fabulous venue.

The hotel work with you to make your wedding special and unique to you.
They also worked around our budget, I didn't want to spend e500 on a photobooth but I got all the props. Stella created a wonderful table at the back which looked amazing, I was so scared it would look cheap but it was fab, my guests loved it.
Everything ran on time and like clockwork on the day.

We live in Australia but they were on hand via email and phone.
Nothing is too much trouble, many hotels charge for little extras and have hidden costs but this wasn't the case.

Amazing on the day at relieving stress and giving you as a couple the time to take it all in and really live in the moment.
Friendliness to guests, my guests still talk about the staff and venue.
Food was gorgeous.

Gavin and I met in 2006 on a night out on the August Bank Holiday weekend. We ended up sitting beside eachother in the pub while we were out with mutual friends, we got chatting and have been together ever since! We got engaged exactly two years later when Gavin drove us to Loughshinny, Co Dublin where I grew up and proposed while we were walking along the beach. It was perfect.
I wasted no time in getting stuck into the wedding plans!

Gavin is from Leitrim, but since we both live in Portarlington we decided to stay local for the wedding plans, and decided to have our reception in Tullamore as it would not be too far for Gavin's family to travel to. From the moment we walked into the Bridge House we were made feel welcome, the reception area has a real wow factor with the beautiful staircase and I had a gut feeling that it would be the perfect location for us.

We were met by their friendly wedding co-ordinator who sat down with us and answered all our questions, nothing was too much trouble.After two years of planning and excitement, dresses and colours, suits and bands....and what seemed like endless waiting and saving.. the day finally arrived!

I woke up at around 7am and for a few seconds waiting for the brain to kick in it was like...hmm... I know there's something really cool happening today...no it's not Christmas...... I'm getting married! It had finally arrived! The excitement I felt was brilliant. Hopped up, checked face - no major wartage or boils - bonus! Ran to window - not only was it not raining but it was looking like it was going to be a beautiful day I couldn't believe it after the rain the day before. Everyone was getting up at this stage and I remember thinking, right 7am, loads of time before Christine (hair) arrives! Went down for some breakfast, was too excited to eat much so had a slice of toast and a cuppa, everyone up and chatting at this time and my sister was playing weddingy music on you tube like going to the chapel, next thing I knew it was 9.20 and Christine rang me looking for directions to the house.. and from here on in it was all systems go! Lorna (makeup) arrived soon after and the house was transformed into a salon, the kitchen was for makeup and the sitting room was for hair so we all rotated between them with champagne flowing - this was definitely one of my favourite bits of the day it was so much fun. Then Dave the photographer arrived, and I felt like an awful eejit at first not knowing what to do when he started taking pictures but he's so nice and put everyone at ease and after a while I forgot he was there. Somewhere in the middle of it all the florist arrived with the bouquets which we loved! Poor Dad didn't know where to put himself so made himself useful by going out and got a load of breakfast rolls which were all devoured and then it was time to get into the dresses. That's when the nerves really kicked in and at this point I was wishing we all lived in a big sky plus box and I could press Pause for a while!!

Once we were all beautified, Noel arrived in the wedding car which was part of our hotel package in the Bridge House, and being the pro that he was chatted away to distract us from the nerves. The girls were all collected next and off to the church along with Mam until all that was left was me and Dad. A few of the neighbours were out wishing us well it was so lovely. Noel helped me into the car (bum first, duck the head and swivel!). Who knew wearing a wedding dress was so complicated! Oh and good luck going to the bathroom - that's particularly fun!!

Driving up to the church was surreal - growing up in the town and seeing so many other brides on their way to the church and suddenly it was me in the white car! By the time we got to the church (around 1.15pm) everyone was inside and the two girls who had decorated the church (from Michael Costello) were outside and helped straighten us up and organised us and calmed us down - was still nervous at this stage! The music started and the girls each walked up and suddenly there we were, me and Dad. He gave me a little squeeze to let me know he was there and off we walked up the aisle... all I remember were smiling faces looking at me from every direction... and then I saw Gavin and suddenly all the nerves were gone! He had a tear in his eye (although he still denies it!!) and it was the happiest moment, he took my hand and it was like it was just the two of us.
The ceremony was beautiful and the music was amazing.. Kinvara Trio.. I cannot wait to see the video and hear them again. It went so so fast but it was just perfect. The priest took us up to the altar to say our vows so that we were facing our family and friends and it was lovely, it felt like everyone was included I really loved it.

And then we were married! It was such a beautiful ceremony and the singers were absolutely brilliant - at one point during the flower duet they hit the notes so perfectly it gave me goosebumps.
I think it's safe to say we sailed back down the aisle and chatted with everyone outside afterwards- the weather was amazing it was like a perfect summer's day we were absolutely blessed.

Off then to Emo House and Gardens for the photos which were great craic.. Dave McClelland is fantastic. Poor Noel ended up carrying my train for me when the bridesmaids were all off having a great chat! He was brilliant. Then back to the Bridge House in Tullamore and honestly, there aren't enough words to describe how fantastic they are! We arrived to a red carpet and champagne and strawberries and everyone was gathered at the top of the stairs to greet us and again all I remember are smiling faces everywhere it was just amazing.

In we go and Ann the co-ordinator took us to see the room done up and it was just..wow! Loved it! Louise from Grace Covers did the chairs for us and the hotel had beautiful candelabra/flowers centrepieces and they had the lights in purple to match the theme it was just amazing. The meal was fantastic, exactly like it was at the tasting we did we couldn't have been happier with it and the guests are still talking about how nice it was. We had the speeches first, they were great, some of them made us all cry! I got up and said a few words but to be honest I don't even remember what I said it's still a bit of a blur it just goes so fast! Cannot wait for the video!

Once the meal was finished and they had brought in the sparklers and flambéd the baked alaska (amazing!) Shane Black arrived to do some magic and illusions - like Keith Barry sort of stuff - to say he went down a storm is an understatement he was absolutely brilliant! It filled in the 'waiting' perfectly and people didn't have to leave the room when the band were setting up so the atmosphere didn't die out on us and Shane kept everyone brilliantly entertained he really was excellent. How on earth he does those tricks I'll never know! I could write a whole other report just on his tricks he really is brilliant, everyone absolutely loved him they're still talking about it. Shane stayed with the guests for about 90 min until the band started, moved around between groups but eventually a crowd gathered around him and he didn't need to move around.

Time for our first dance which was sooo nice, it was like there was nobody else in the room. We danced to At Last by Etta James, the words are perfect. Then me and dad had our father/daughter dance to Unforgettable by Nat King Cole, this was also one of my favourite parts of the day.
Spring Break were the band and again they were brilliant! Now I know I'm biased and all but they were worth every penny. The dancefloor was never empty and not only are they a good band but they're a really good show! Everyone seemed to love them which was great. They are an 80s tribute band so dress in 80s stuff, so to tie in with this we had jars with 80s sweets on the tables and we named the tables after 80s films/tv shows/songs.

Another thing we got was a speech bubble chalkboard which I got my new sister in law to bring around to the guests armed with a camera, it worked out great and I'm going to make my own little album with the pictures!

The band played for a good 2 hours anyway and I don't think I stopped dancing once! Next was the DJ who was also great and kept the dancing going to the early hours. Eventually there was just a handful of us left in the residents bar and I couldn't stop looking at my new husband.. it still feels so new to be saying that! It really was the happiest day of our lives - in fact the whole month was amazing.
We were so blessed that everything went like clockwork and absolutely nothing went wrong. However some tips I have would be: Get a videographer! We had Velvetine Studios - such a nice couple, Maurice and Elaine, barely even knew they were there they were so unobtrusive, the day just goes so fast and you forget loads of bits of it so the video will definitely be something to treasure. When you are lighting your candles use both hands! My hand was shaking so much it nearly blew the flame out!! And mainly - relax and enjoy it because it really is the best day EVER!

Regards and many thanks again.

Dear Mr. Lenaghan,

Following our Wedding at your Hotel on Thursday the 9th of August I would like to write to you to let you know that you have a wonderful team of staff working for you at the Bridge 1-louse Hotel. A team whoare great assets to your business.

From once we arrived at the hotel on Wednesday the 8th until we left on Saturday the 10th August all your staff in all departments couldn’t do enough for us.I am from Galway and my husband is from Wexford, we had decided to have our Wedding in the Midlands to facilitate both families and friends having an equal distance to travel. We chose 4 hotels to
view and from once we spoke to Ann Starling we had our decision made straight away without viewing all of the chosen hotels.

Ann has a wonderful quality of putting couples at ease from the word go, nothing was a problem for her. She is the face of your Hotel when a couple first go and view the hotel, there is an exceptional level of comfort with Ann and she really did make our decision so easy. We also communicated a good deal via email with Caitriona in the office and both her and Ann couldn’t be more helpful and so professional.

Ann decorated the room for the civil ceremony, her attention to detail was first class. She and her staff then had it stripped back for the meal and again her efforts were beyond our expectations. Both her and Noel guided us through the meal and speeches, Noel is a great character and he did a brilliant job that day and is a great asset to your front of house always chatting and joking with the customers.
Our guests were from Co. Galway, Mayo, Dublin, Co Donegal, Co Wexford, UK, Holland, Germany and France, everyone commented on the service and the meal the hotel provided and said that the couldn’t name a hotel in any county in Ireland that provided such a service for a wedding. All the little touches like the flambeing of the baked Alaska at the top table etc added enormously to the event.
You Head Receptionist (Her name escapes me, started with an “A”) is an exceptional and very helpful lady, and she was confronted unnecessary by a few of our guests looking to check in early (ceremony was at 3.3Opm) and handled them all very professionally despite the difficult situation she was in. We did apologise to her the day after as it was totally unnecessary for our guests to behave in such way.

To all the housekeeping staff who gave us extra towels and who changed beds and cleaned the rooms with us in and out of the rooms, thank you.
Thank you Ann, you are a star and Noel, Caitriona, Brenda, Head Receptionist and all your staff for a wonderful day, a truly magical day we will remember for the rest of our lives.

God bless,

to whom it may concern,

thank you again,

Denise,

I felt I had to write to thank you and your staff for making our family wedding at the weekend a very memorable and positive experience. From the moment we booked your hotel last year, both yourself and your staff treated us all with great respect, humour, friendliness and professionalism. I have to say, having stayed in many a hotel that all your staff, from the bar staff, dining staff, receptionist to the cleaning staff are a credit to themselves, their training and to your hotel. They were incredibly helpful and friendly and made our weekend and celebration as enjoyable as it could possibly be.

I wish you, your staff and your hotel many successful years ahead and will highly recommend you to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the midlands and in particular to anyone looking for a wedding venue. I would like to think I will get to stay with you again in the future.

Regards and many thanks again.
