Finnstown Castle Hotel

Planning your wedding can be daunting but from the moment we started talking to the team at Finnstown they put us at ease and every request was answered quickly and nothing was a problem. Wedding director Katie is a total professional and nothing, (no matter how odd the query or how many changes we made to our plans) was any hassle. Her calm and friendly approach set the tone for the whole process and it followed through with everyone we dealt with. Katie invited us to drop over in the week before the wedding with our own decorations and bits and pieces so that we wouldn’t have so much to worry about moving close to the wedding day. Katie set these up for us on the day taking away another item on the long ‘to do’ list! Our wedding was just before Christmas and the place looked amazing, tasteful decorations and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The room for our ceremony looked fab and it was only in looking at photos afterwards we really got to appreciate the detail which went into making the place magical from lanterns up the aisle to the fairy light backdrop behind our celebrant. We had Santa hats for our guests and the Finnstown team set them up under each chair for us to get a photo at the end of the ceremony. Everyone raved about how all of the food was top quality and delicious. The ‘Classic Symphony of Desserts’ was a big winner but it was all really good from reception canapés to end of the evening bacon sandwiches. Again at the meal Katie and the team took charge of leaving the individually named wedding favours on the tables. We had special wedding meal requests for three of our guests Katie organised this beautifully with their own special menus which we thought was a lovely touch. Katie was brilliant at organising the music with her timing to a tee for us going up the aisle, another song for signing the register and another for us leaving the room. She was there very discretely to guide us when needed at different moments during the day. We weren’t fans of the bridal suite, it’s a little dated but Katie switched us to a different room without any issue and it was gorgeous with a little alcove just off the room looking into the gardens. This was an added feature for some lovely photos. We and our quests had a great day and would recommend Finnstown as a wedding venue for anyone. Easy to get to, great atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. Thank you so much to Katie and the team, we loved it!

Amazing from start to finish. We dealt with Katie and she was so professional. Would love to do it all over again!!

From the minute we popped down to see finnstown and were shown around by Barry that day, we were blown away by how lovely the place was, but also how nice all of the staff were. From when we booked the wedding coordinator Katie made every step along the way so easy for us that it was such a stress free wedding, from all the extra little touches they were able to add like his and hers cocktails etc. Katie is so calm but so organised that it automatically puts you at ease. The day we had our wedding tasting menu we knew we were onto a winner food wise, but the food on the day was even better! People are still raving about the steak. The grounds themselves are stunning and we had all our wedding pictures taken there so meant we got to spend the most time with all our guests which was what we really wanted. It was the most fabulous day, I can't thank Katie and the team down in finnstown enough, every single one of them went out of their way to make us feel extra special! I'll be sure to send on some pics when we get them back from the photographers! Thanks for everything, Marie and Chris xx
