We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience for our wedding.
We had a small, intimate wedding and from start to finish, the venue made the whole day feel so special. Everything was beautifully organised, the staff were absolutely wonderful especially Elaine, Mark and the ladies from the tea rooms. The attention to detail was second to none. Nothing felt too much trouble, and we felt so well looked after throughout the day.
One of the highlights was having Afternoon Tea in the Luisne Gardens after our ceremony. It was absolutely amazing and such a beautiful, relaxed way to celebrate with our closest family. The setting was stunning for our photos as well and it was the perfect addition to our intimate wedding day.
We are so grateful to everyone who helped make our day so memorable. We genuinely couldn’t recommend the venue highly enough and would happily do it all over again

Such an incredibly beautiful setting for our ceremony. I am still singing Catherine's praises months later. She did an amazing job and nothing was too much trouble. Without a doubt my favourite part of the day
We just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone at Mc Auley Place for making our wedding ceremony so special.
The whole venue looked amazing, from the red carpet and seat covers to the fantastic flower arrangements. Our guest were hugely impressed ... and surprised by this hidden gem! Everyone at Mc Auley Place was so friendly and welcoming that it brought an added warmth to the atmosphere on the day. I was especially moved by the round of applause I received as I entered the building.
We feel very privileged to be the first couple to be married at your amazing venue. We wish you the very best of luck but are sure it will be a big success!! We look forward to visiting the cafe when we are home and reminiscing about our perfect day.
