Testimonial 

From the moment my husband and I visited Mountain View, we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding reception.

From the views, to the decor and the incredibly friendly and helpful Sharon and Bee, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Getting married in a pandemic meant that we had to postpone from 2020 to 2021. The team in Mountain View were incredibly understanding and willing to help at every stage.

Our wedding day was small but incredible. Mountain View will always have a special place in our hearts.

The venue is beautiful and we were able to get some breathtaking photos over looking Kilkenny. The food was absolutely outstanding and could not be faulted in the slightest. Miriam was brilliant and truly helped wherever she could to make the day memorable for us. The few let downs we had were, the children never got to feed the alpacas on the day and we were unable to use the golf cart (both had been prearranged) There was also confusion on the timings as the 2 people we had been in contact with in the lead up to the day were not present on the wedding day. We had to keep correcting the other lady present on the timings and this left us (and our photographer and videographer) feel a little rushed. The marquee is beautiful but did get quiet cold during the meal even with the heating on. We didn't stay on site so cannot comment on the glamping but having looked in them, they do look fabulous. Overall a fabulous venue that I can see being incredible if a few tweaks are made.

We cannot recommend Mountain View enough, our guests were wowed with the Venue, Food and atmosphere. The attention on the day from the wedding co coordinator was so personal and relaxed and we were able to be ourselves and enjoy the day with our guests with no worries. We were looking for something different for our Wedding and Mountain View was perfect for us and we didnt have to do anything apart from show up and enjoy our day , Well Done to the team involved

"All the staff at Mt View were so amazing to work with and made the day truly our best day ever. All of our guests were full of compliments for the food, the marquee, the cow shed, the staff and the overall atmosphere. I think you even managed to wrangle the sun out! Both of our sisters and brother in laws asked to pass compliments on to Miriam for being so helpful with their kids, it made all the difference to them. And Eilish was so good to us the next day and the breakfast was so good the next day, thank you all so much! The food was so gorgeous, all the guests were accommodated for. Thank you for going above and beyond the next morning and even leaving pizza for us in the tinny hut! Guests who glamped were comfortable and we were able to visit the market in the cow shed on sunday Mountain View was perfectly suited for us and I think we were relaxed and confident which informed the whole day, people love the chill atmosphere you instill".

We recently had our summer wedding at Mountain View and it couldn't have been any more of a perfect experience from start to finish. In the lead-up to the wedding, Sharon took all the stress away, she painted a beautiful picture in our minds of how the day would go. We booked our wedding from overseas and only got the opportunity to view the venue two weeks beforehand. We had our ceremony and reception at Mountain View. The weather was fine so we got married in the gardens - the outdoor arrangements for the ceremony were perfect, nestled amongst mature trees and manicured gardens. Their service and attention to detail were flawless. Miriam and James were our hosts and managers on the day. Both were experienced and attentive, checking-in with us at key points throughout the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, and everyone's meal was perfect in terms of taste and presentation. The grounds are stunning and there are so many beautiful backdrops and quirky areas to achieve amazing photographs Bea also made us feel so welcome and very much like family. I am so grateful for all her wonderful and reassuring advice, she really put is at ease. Wedding planning can be difficult but I never once needed to worry about the venue. We had no complaints about the day at all, it was such a wonderful experience, I just wish we could do it all again! Cori & Shane 8th July 2022

"Our wedding day at mountain view was something out of a fairy tale! We chose Mountain View because of the spectacular atmosphere, but what we got was so much more. The staff and organisers at Mountain View (Sharon, James, Bee, Miriam, and everyone else) made everything so easy. Our wedding had to be postponed due to covid, and they made everything so easy for us. When the big day finally arrived, we were in absolute awe of the beauty of the greenhouse decorations, the sunset over the hills after dinner, and the impeccable food. We cannot count how many guests are still raving about how incredible the wedding food was. We were also delighted to be the first guests to stay in the honeymoon suite on site, and had a wonderful evening sleeping under the stars! Thank you Mountain View, and everyone who helped make our dream wedding come true. Monica & James 3rd June 2022

Our wedding at Mountain View was everything we hoped for...and so much more. From my initial call with Sharon to arrange a viewing of the venue I knew we had chosen the right place. Sharon was so helpful, kind, and accommodating throughout the whole planning stages. On the day itself, Bea, Miriam, James, and all the staff were incredible, making sure the whole day went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't thank them enough for making the day so special. All our guests raved about the food, the views, the beautiful ceremony set up...they all had a fantastic time. And so did we...it's a day we'll never forget. Thank you to all at Mountain View. - Naz and Eoin - 28th May 2022

I cannot say enough good things about Mountain View ! Me and my husband live in New York and planning a wedding in a different country can be a real challenge on top of throwing in a global pandemic ! Sharon helped us every step of the way and made planning so easy and stress free! They also helped us with getting in touch with vendors since we were overseas and everyone they suggested to us turned out amazing. All of our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was. the view was the perfect scenery of Ireland for all our New York friends. The foods was great and everyone still talks about the brownie for desert ! We loved how it was so exclusive so we could enjoy the day with our closest friends and family! Everyone was so helpful throughout the whole planning process and amazing the day of the wedding. If you are looking for a beautiful exclusive venue with great food and great staff look no further! I’m so thankful to everyone at Mountain View for helping make our long awaited day amazing !

Where do I begin......from the moment we visited mountain view we were in awe. It can only be summoned up as amazing. The first day we made contact with mountain view to enquire about weddings we were greeted with the most helpful lady, Sharon. As planning a wedding was all very new and a learning curve for us. Sharon helped in every way possible by answering all our queries, providing all the needed information and gave us so many options and ideas from the get go. It was the best decision we made to book our wedding at mountain view as the responsiveness from Sharon was second to none. She made everything so easy for us and no request was too much, very accommodating. Leading up to the wedding we met with Bee and James also and all we can say is they are so genuine and gifted in what they do. They made the day special for us in very way possible and the same goes for all the staff in mountain view. The day itself was absolutely fantastic from the decor, to the natural view, the attention to every single detail and the quality of the food and drink was truly superb. We and the guests had the best day up right through to the night.it was the wedding we always dreamed of and more. So we can safely say we 100% recommend mountain view. What an amazing place with fantastic people and what an amazing day we had. Thanks to everyone at mountain view for everything. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

We had our wedding at Mountain View on July 29th 2021. From the moment we set foot in Mountain View we knew we just had to have our wedding here. Sharon guided us every step of the way in organising our wedding. She was always so amazing and friendly to deal with and worked so hard to make sure our wedding day was just how we wanted it to be. A very special mention to Miriam, Bea and James who went above and beyond for us on our wedding day, we are so grateful to you. To the entire team at Mountain View who looked after us so well on the day, we can't thank you all enough. You were all a pleasure to deal with. We couldn't have been happier with the service. From start to finish our wedding day was just perfect. We will always have the most wonderful memories of our wedding day at Mountain View. The venue, atmosphere and the scenery are like no other. Our guests were just so impressed by the venue and the entire day. We highly recommend Mountain View to couples getting married, it is a must-see venue.

We could not recommend Mountain View more highly! We had the most amazing day and that was all down to the O'Neill family. From our first interactions with Bea and Michael right through all the planning with Sharon the wedding planner, everyone could not have been more helpful. The venue itself is simply stunning, and Beas attention to detail resulted in the venue looking like a winter wonderland on the night, creating the most beautiful atmosphere. The food by Marie Rafferty was exquisite, we never had so many guests complimenting the food. On the wedding day itself Bea, Michael, and all the team were simply outstanding and could not have been more helpful. This stunning venue, with exquisite food combined with the warmth of the O'Neill family makes for the most unforgettable 5 star wedding experience.

We simply cannot say enough about Mountain View and the entire team. Our Wedding day was incredible, the food, the atmosphere, the views, all out of this world. It's a truly unique venue nestled away in the woods with breathtaking views of the countryside. The Wedding Room is stunning, just pure class and sophistication. 10/10 from us thank you to everybody Bee, Michael, Marie, Sophie and all the staff who made our special day so magical. We'll never forget it.

We wanted a location that could hold at least 240 people but had an emphasis on the outdoors. We found a lot of locations held the wedding in a ballroom without windows, but we specifically wanted a summer wedding where we could enjoy a view of the outdoors. We fell in love with the landscape and the marquee as soon as we saw it. The wedding team at Mountain View were excellent and helped us through every stage of the preparations for our big day. It is such a beautiful and perfect setting, and has a very personal service. The food is outstanding; we found our menu tasting very difficult as everything was delicious and so beautifully presented! It was great as we could take our wedding photos on the golf course with spectacular views of the countryside and a beautiful backdrop of the lake. We really felt we got to spend so much time with our guests. The marquee is a perfect size for all guests to be comfortable. We had such a fantastic day in June and we treasure our memories from our wedding day!
