Moyvalley Hotel & Balyna House

We had the most wonderful few days at our wedding in Moyvalley last year.
From our first visit we absolutely loved the venue, it is absolutely stunning and such a quiet calm setting. We (and our toddler) felt totally at home, the whole team who work in Moyvalley are so welcoming, friendly and relaxed.
In the months leading up to the big day Emma was fantastic with all of our question and made the lead up to the wedding run really smoothly. The duty manager Premraj on the day was absolutely amazing, everything was so well organised and we were so well looked after. All of our guest had a great time, we couldn’t fault anything! The food and the ambiance and atmosphere were just what we wanted for the day.

We cannot thank everyone enough and are so looking forward to visiting again!
Love
Aisling, Robert and (the little lady who loved her hotel house )Eleanor

Lovely venue from start to finish. The Stone House is so fab for ceremony. Balyna house is very special for drinks reception and the dinner in the hotel went down so well with all guests. We absolutely loved Moyvalley from the first day we viewed it. We got such a good feeling about it and decided to book it. Delighted with our choice. Hotel staff are amazing, everything was timed so well on the day and went so smoothly. Ewa was a gem to deal with, so professional. We cherish the photos and memories from the day ❤️ Looking forward to returning for our 1st anniversary- Sabrina & Gary

From the minute we view Moyvalley & Ballyna House we fell in love but couldn’t have imaged our wedding day to go better than it did.
The team went above and beyond to make our day flawless. A special mention to our co-ordinator Ewa and manager Premraj. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail meant we could completely relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in expert hands. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.

Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was and how delicious the food was and general about how smoothly the day flowed. From the wedding reception and day 2 celebrations , everything exceeded our expectations.


We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to get married, and all of our guests were able to stay on site. We are so grateful to everyone involved for helping create memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering this venue — book it. You will not regret it.

We can’t thank the Moyvalley team enough for making our wedding day absolutely incredible. From the moment we first visited, everyone was so kind and welcoming. No ask was too big!
Balyna House, the hotel and the grounds are simply stunning. Our guests were blown away by the atmosphere and couldn’t stop complimenting how amazing everything looked. It helped that we were blessed with the weather!
The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the meal was! The breakfast buffet was exactly what people needed to nurse their hangovers.
Thank you to Ewa and all of the team for the most unforgettable wedding day!

We got married on 20 June 2025 and we had our wedding reception in Balyna House and then the ballroom in Moyvalley Hotel. From the moment we viewed this venue we knew it was the one for us. When we viewed the hotel we loved the grounds at Balyna House and we loved the mix of the house and the hotel. The venue was gorgeous. One of the main things that helped us to make our decision though was the staff. We we were so impressed by how welcoming everyone was and how friendly everyone was to us.

Our wedding coordinator, Ewa was amazing! From start to finish she was so professional and kind and nothing was ever too much trouble. Ewa was always on hand and was so quick to respond to us when we had a question about anything. She was amazing! We are so grateful for her and all her team. The kitchen staff, waiters, management and wedding coordinators were fantastic throughout the whole process but especially on the day of our wedding. All of our guests were complimenting how good the staff were at acknowledging allergies which was really important to us.

From start to finish, we had the most amazing day and it is all down to the incredible staff in Moyvalley! This is such an amazing venue and I would 100% recommend it to anyone! Thank you to Ewa and all of the staff in Moyvalley for making our day so special!

Ciara & Paddy

Amazing day. Food was beautiful, everyone keeps talking about how good it was weeks later. Really accomadating with allergies and intolerances.

Hotel and grounds are stunning. Myself and my bridesmaids stayed over and got ready in one of the cottages on site. Really big living room which both make up and hairstylist complimented for all the space they had.

Our only small issue was moving if bags from cottage to main hotel that sone were placed jn the wrong rooms despite being labelled.

Ewa the coordinator is amazing, nothing was too big an ask. If you’re looking at Moyvalley then go for it, our photos are beautiful. Balyna House is stunning and sucb a lovely extra on top of having the reception in the hotel.

We can’t wait to go back for our first anniversary!

We recently had our wedding at Moyvalley Hotel, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning with gorgeous grounds that made for amazing photos.

What really made the day so special, though, was the staff. Especially Prem, who was our coordinator. They were incredible to deal with – professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.

The food was fantastic, our guests are still talking about how they were constantly fed and never went hungry, the service was seamless, and so many of our guests commented on what a fantastic day it was. We’re so grateful to the entire team at Moyvalley for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.

We had a night before dinner in the hotels bar, the wedding day in balyna and dinner in the hotel which was perfect for the amount of guest we had and allowed us to experience both sides of the venue and day 2 celebrations in Balyna House. The snug bar is amazing for a live singer and drinks!

If you're considering this venue for your big day – do it! You’ll be in great hands.

Lauren and Kevin

We got married here in March 2025 and from the moment we booked our wedding Ciara and the team were incredibly helpful and accommodating. No stone was left unturned.
On the day itself Balyna House was everything we hoped it would be as a wedding venue. The house and grounds were beautiful.
Prem and his staff were professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. The setup, the service, the food and rooms were amazing on the day.
All of our guests were full of praise for the intimate venue, the food and service (we had 90 guests in Balyna House).
We would no hesitation in recommending the Moyvalley Resort.

We got married in the stone house Saturday the 14th of December. Niamh was our wedding co-ordinator and she did an excellent job right from start to finish. We had our drinks reception in balyna house and then moved over to the main hotel for our dinner. It really couldn’t have went any better. The staff were very accommodating and very friendly to deal with. All our guests complimented the food and the location we honestly couldn’t be happier with how it all went. Thanks so much to everyone at Moyvalley

Everything we asked for was accommodated. Ciara, the wedding coordinator, was so professional and responsive when emailed. We had some special requests for the meal and everything we'd ordered arrived. The food was absolutely delicious - each course better than the last. Our guests commented on the quality of the food and service. We'd highly recommend Balyna House for a more intimate wedding. Ours had 85 guests.

We got married in the beautiful Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort last October 2024.
It is quite difficult to put into words how amazing the whole day was and how much every minute meant to us. It was such a magical day.
From the first moment we saw Balyna House we were in love and after meeting the wonderful Ciara, we booked our day. I never thought that planning a wedding would be so challenging but whatever the question, Ciara was always there with advice and a big smile.
Nothing was ever too much and she made both of us look forward to our day even more.
The day itself was nothing short of magical and just perfect in every way. We cannot thank every single person who was part of it behind the scenes enough. You all made us feel so absolutely special and cared for. The setup, the service, the amazing wedding dinner, the rooms, every little detail was just amazing and so much more than we could have asked for.
If we could do it again, it would be Balyna Estate again, no question. It is the most beautiful and warm little gem, more than 5* quality and we can't recommend it enough.
A huge THANK YOU again from the bottom of our hearts to Ciara, Simon, Andrew, Prem, Joanna, Peter, and every single one of the team for making it the most wonderful day ever!!
Thank you,
Dani & John Byrne

We had our wedding in Moyvalley on 7th September 2024 and we could not fault it, from start to finish everything went smoothly. Overall, all the staff in Moyvalley were fantastic, so friendly and accommodating throughout the entire weekend. After the wedding, several of our guests commented on how professional and considerate the staff were, going out of their way to make sure that any and all requests were met.

Our wedding coordinator Niamh was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting with her. She was always quick to respond to any queries we had, and offered helpful advice on anything that we were unsure of. On the wedding day itself, she was on hand all day to help with anything we needed.

Balyna House and the cellar bar provided the perfect location for our day 2, and the food on both days was delicious (the gluten free pizza was some of the best we’ve ever had!). There were quite a few dietary requirements amongst our guests and these were dealt with very carefully and consistently, which was greatly appreciated.

Moyvalley was the perfect location for our wedding and we’re so glad that we chose it. It will always be a special place for us.

Where do we start, our day was absolutely amazing from start to finish everything was Perfect & all thanks to our fabulous wedding co-ordinator Niamh, she was truly the best, she went above & beyond for us, anytime we had a question Niamh was straight on it to help us, she was always so friendly & we felt she was more like a friend, we couldn't of chose a better person then Niamh to ensure our day was as special as it was & the staff is Moyvalley are friendliest & nicest bunch who all our guests commented on how lovely everyone was.

The Stone House where we got married in was so beautiful & personal & has such a lovely authentic feel to it, Balyna House for reception & drinks, The Details in the house is beautiful & stunning backdrop on Stairs for photo's & again Staff services was so good & they were all smiling & in good form while serving our Guests, Can honestly say Moyvalley will hold a special place in our Hearts, We speak not only for ourselves but for all our Guests who some travelled from abroad that it was best wedding venue they have been & alot if it is down to the Niamh & the Staff, they made such a lasting impression & of course Moyvalley has outstanding beauty to it, If you want your dream wedding venue & best Staff to go along with it choose Moyvalley as ours was everything & more then we wished for:)

We recently celebrated our wedding at the stunning Moyvalley Hotel, with our ceremony in the beautiful Stone House and our reception in the magnificent Balyna House. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, and we are still in awe of how perfect our special day turned out. Niamh were wedding coordinator was unbelievable throughout our planning process to the main day. She was friendly, professional and a friend who guided us along each step of the way.
The Stone House provided a charming and intimate setting for our ceremony, with its elegant architecture and picturesque surroundings. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos, adding a timeless beauty to every shot.
Balyna House, where we held our reception, was absolutely breath taking. Our family and friends are still talking about its beauty and grandeur. The historical charm and exquisite decor created an enchanting atmosphere that made our celebration feel truly magical.
Catherine and the kitchen staff delivered food which was absolutely delicious, exceeding all our expectations. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, delighting our guests and leaving everyone raving about the meal. The variety and quality of the menu truly showcased the culinary expertise of the hotel's kitchen staff.
What stood out the most was the exceptional service from the Moyvalley Hotel team. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. Brendan went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries. Their warmth and efficiency added a personal touch that made us and our guests feel genuinely welcomed and valued.
Thank you, Moyvalley Hotel, for making our wedding day an extraordinary experience. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more dedicated team to share in our celebration. We highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel to anyone looking for a magical wedding venue. Five stars all the way!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding at Moyvalley Hotel! As an Austrian-German couple living in Ireland, we had many international guests, and Moyvalley provided the perfect setting for our special day. The welcome dinner the night before was a fantastic start to the celebrations. About 80% of our guests traveled from abroad and they all loved the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The grounds of Moyvalley are picturesque, and our guests enjoyed exploring them on the morning of the wedding.

The ceremony in the beautiful stone house was intimate and charming, and the reception in the stunning Balyna House was simply perfect. The weather was absolutely beautiful on our wedding day, so that we could stay outside during reception and enjoy the sunshine.

Having everything in one place made the day seamless and stress-free. Our guests also appreciated staying at the venue for two nights, with many commenting on the comfort and quality of the rooms.

From the moment we started planning, we felt we were in good hands with Ciara, our wedding coordinator. Her flexibility with timings, coordinating guests, and last-minute room arrangements were exceptional. She was there every step of the way, including perfectly timing the entrance for the bride and bridesmaids.

The staff at Moyvalley were incredibly friendly and perfectly organised. We felt very much at ease during our day and didn't have to worry about anything. The food was delicious and plentiful, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. We particularly loved the change of setting when moving downstairs to the Cellar Bar in the night, and the only point of improvement we would suggest is to open the Cellar Bar sooner, perhaps at 12:30 instead of 1:30 am.

We would highly recommend Moyvalley Hotel to every couple! The value for money is perfect, and the venue's beauty, combined with the convenience of having everything on-site, made our wedding day absolutely magical. For those with many guests wanting to stay overnight, Moyvalley is ideal with its numerous hotel rooms. We also appreciated Moyvalley's flexibility with guest numbers. It can accommodate large weddings of 150+ people, but it was also perfect for our smaller wedding of approximately 75 guests.

From start to finish, our wedding day was perfect in every way. Thank you, Moyvalley, for making our big day so special!

From start to finish, the service and treatment we received from Moyvalley Hotel and Ciara Dowling our wedding coordinator was incredible. The flexibility, understanding, venue, setting, food were all genuinely top class and great value for money to boot.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. From the first contact with the hotel to checking out after the big day, we couldn't have been happier with how everything was handled. The Stonehouse was perfect for our wedding ceremony and our 75 guests. The reception afterwards in Ballyna House was a great occasion and the layout of the house was perfect. People were able to choose between partying hard or taking it easy in the bar or front room but everything was so close together, it was easy to move around and talk to everyone. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. We stayed in one of the cottages, which was perfect for us and our 2 children and was a great quiet retreat for the kids when the big day got a bit much for them. Best of all was the staff. From bar staff, waiting staff, housekeeping, reception, duty managers and especially our wedding coordinator Niamh, everyone we interacted with was incredibly helpful and professional and made handling the events of the big day so easy. We can't wait to go back for another visit.

From the moment we got engaged I googled wedding venues and Moyvalley was the first one to come up and I fell in love instantly and then when we went to view it in person the whole venue, its grounds and the staff blew us away.
Niamh was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic, she was always on hand with any queries we had.
On the day of the wedding I could not fault anything, they made our day so special and everyone that attended were raving about the place and the staff.
The morning after the wedding my 2 year old son fell ill and the staff went above and beyond to help us make him comfortable. I would highly recommend Moyvalley for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

We had our wedding here on Friday. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. All staff (day and night) were incredible and service was impeccable. Balyna House is magical. Food was delicious. We had guests from all over the world, all of whom were bowled over by the hotel and venue. Hats off to wedding planners Niamh and Ciara, and thanks to everyone in Moyvalley Hotel for making our day the best ever.

We can not fault anything about the build up to our wedding or the day itself, we had the time of our lives. Ciara is amazing at what she does along with all staff, they went above and beyond. Our guests are still raving about the venue and food. Thank you so much !

We had our wedding on May 20th in MoyValley and Balyna house and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the food was unbelievable! All our guests commented on it. From setting up to checking out everything ran so smoothly thanks to all the staff. Niamh made it so easy for us to plan from Canada. All the staff were absolutely amazing, so unbelievably attentive for the entire weekend! We extended for a second day also and it was so worth it to spend extra time in the beautiful house and grounds. Balyna house is so beautiful and was a lovely home away from home on the weekend. Would recommend over and over!

Moyvalley is an amazing venue that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Niamh our wedding coordinator was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. On the wedding day, Niamh and Brendan were on hand with any help we needed, and made sure the day ran smoothly, nothing was ever an issue for them. Simon the GM was also very helpful. The staff, both bar staff and the staff serving food were brilliant, especially our server Shauna. The exclusive use of Balyna House really added to the wedding day and the party at night. We loved the fact that all our guests could stay on site in the hotel. We had a brilliant wedding day and amazing weekend, a big part of it was due to Moyvalley and their wonderful venue and staff.

We got married in Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort on 25th March and we can not recommend the hotel enough. From the first email Ciara, our wedding coordinator was a pleasure to deal with. She was so prompt with all enquiries and nothing was too big or too small. Ciara is fantastic at what she does, she shared lots of tips and ideas on how to make our wedding day really special in Moyvalley.
We had our ceremony in the Stonehouse a beautiful building on site. It was absolutely perfect, very special. Our drinks and evening reception were all held the magnificent Balynhouse. The venue was set up exactly as we had imagined, thanks to the amazing team. The staff were excellent on the day especially Brendan who couldn't do enough for us. All our guests commented on how helpful all the staff were from the moment they arrived and on how well the day flowed. The team make weddings look easy. We had the most amazing day and we can't thank you enough. Everything was magical and perfect.

Well my son got married on the 17th of Feb the venue was fab but alot of stuff went missing after wedding his unity candles the brides shoes and my black jacket strange that no member of staff found them so not impressed

Amazing!!! Moyvalley is such a wonderful venue. Balyna house is soooo pretty and we just loved it
The staff in the hotel were amazing with every part of the day. Food was amazing. Everyone commented about how wonderful the food tasted and how amazing the service was.
Ciara? she was just the best. Very easy to deal with and so helpful. The day ran smoothly and we had the best time.

We had our wedding in Moyvalley in August of this year. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone there for such a wonderful day, especially Ciara, our wedding co-ordinator. Everything from the food to the rooms to the set up was done exactly as we wanted and we had the best day. The hotel and grounds are stunning and the staff were amazing, always helpful and friendly.

Gary and I got married in Moyvalley on 01/07/22. We had our ceremony in the stone house and reception in Balyna House. We wanted a venue that had everything on site but that was also separate to the hotel. We viewed a few venues that offered this style and unfortunately the prices were way over our budget. We reached out to Moyvalley back in 2019 and fell in love with the place. I couldn't believe how much cheaper it was than those other venues because it isn't a bit clear to see where any costs have been cut to achieve it. We dealt with Ciara Dowling along the way and what a gem she is!!! Her communication and organisation skills are second to none, honestly. She is personable and more importantly, she get its it. She gets how important the day is to not only the bride and groom but to everyone involved. I brought a whole host of stuff with me such as bathroom baskets, a guestbook, polaroid station sweet table, individual limericks for everyone at the table and Ciara said "leave those with me and I'll put everything out for you". This had me nervous because I had it in my mind how everything should look and she pulled it out of the bag! The place looked amazing, I was so happy. Next day we got up and everything we had brought was packed and waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs, all we had to do was put in the car! I could have done a shorter review but it wouldn't have done Ciara and the team any justice. Thank you so much for making our day so special and for keeping everything running as smoothly as you did.

I could not fault Moyvalley from the day we went to see the venue (even if it was during Covid) right up until we checked out the day after our wedding. Ciara, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day and that everything ran smoothly. The food and staff were exceptional. Even 2 months after the big day, our guests are still talking about them.

We cannot recommend Moyvalley enough.
We got engaged at the beginning of the first COVID19 lockdown, The hotel was closed due to restrictions, however when we walked around the grounds of Balyna House we knew this was the venue for us and we arranged an appointment to meet the wedding coordinators (the two Orlas) and we booked. Shortly after we were in contact with Ciara, a New addition to the team. Ciara was amazing the whole way through our planning process. Always on hand to answer my silly questions.
For our menu tasting, we were so impressed with the food and the staff. Catherine served us for this and she made us feel so at home. We knew we made the right choice of venue.
On the day of our wedding, as our car pulled up outside Balyna House we were greeted by Andrew & Ciara, who were on hand throughout the day.
Our guests were so impressed with the venue and the food. We cannot fault the staff, especially Claudia who took care of us at the top table and Daniel & Ross in the Residents bar. They were brilliant.
The next day we went over to the main hotel for breakfast, where we were greeted by Catherine who knew who we were the minute we walked through the door and made us feel so special.
A big thank you to the team in Moyvalley, most of all Ciara who made our day so special.
We cannot wait to go back for our Anniversary.

We could not fault any part of the lead up to our Wedding Day or on the day itself. Everything was perfect. Emails were responded to very swiftly and Niamh our coordinator could not do enough for us. On the day the manager was excellent, asked were we happy with everything on numerous occasions. We had our speeches and drinks reception in Balyna House before moving over to the hotel for dinner. Doing this is Balyna house was perfect if you're looking for a something a little different and chilled. Would 100% recommend Moyvalley Hotel and Balyna House for a Wedding.

From the moment I was in contact with Moyvalley, I knew this venue would be our wedding venue. I was initially dealing with Orla and when she left the business, we were handed over to Ciara and both ladies couldn't do more for us. The whole planning process was so enjoyable with the team and although we had no major requests, no request was too much. I really felt we were treated like royalty in the run up to our wedding and on our wedding. Every request was met and our whole wedding party were so well looked after. I know a bride that recently got married in a venue that won wedding of the year, and they were not half treated the way we were in Moyvalley. The team are so lovely and across the 3 days, they got to know all our guests by name and it really felt that we were all in one resort on a massive holiday, (we got very lucky with the weather also). Ciara is so lovely and popped into me the night before the wedding to check I was ok and assured me everything was looked after. The venue was perfect, it was spotlessly clean and everyone just had the best time. We got married in the Stone House which was beautifully decorated by Elderwoods Decor and we had stunning flowers included in our package with Moyvalley, I was so taken aback at how stunning they were & they ensured to ask what colours I liked to keep in line with our theme. There was one small hiccup in our late bar however the staff assisted the next day and it was all forgotten about. The bar staff were absolutely fantastic on our second day in Balyna House, we had a BBQ booked for our guests and we were genuinely shocked with how amazing the food was. My family told me they were never at a wedding where they felt so well looked after, there was always food, none of this awkward standing around waiting to be fed and the food was amazing. If the setting of this venue isn't enough to make you want to book it for your day, the staff will. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue, it was so perfect.

Thank you to the staff for making our day what it was, you guys are a credit.

From start to finish the staff in Moyvalley was amazing! We were dealing with Niamh and nothing was an issue! We stayed for 3 days, we got ready the morning of and I would highly recommend it, myself and my bridal party stayed in one of the lovely cottages the night before, it was so easy for hair and makeup to come as there is plenty of space! The night of our wedding we stayed in the Balyna house which is beautiful we also had our drinks reception there! We had our reception in the hotel, it meant our guests got to see every aspect Moyvalley has to offer! I would highly recommend Moyvalley as a wedding venue! Thank you to all the staff at Moyvalley

The staff were absolutely amazing, from our pre wedding meetings, right up until our day, we couldn't of been more pleased with everything on our day. The food was amazing, all of our guests mentioned it on and after our day. Balyna house was exceptional, we had our reception drinks here and it was just beautiful, the grounds outside were amazing for our pictures also. Cannot fault anything on our day and would definitely recommend it to couples

We fell in love with Balyna House from our first viewing and right from the get go the team was so friendly & professional. Covid meant there where a lot of changes/ contingency plans as guidance on numbers/ bands etc changed a number of times but the Team @ Moyvalley where super flexible and reassured us the whole was through and made adjustments to our booking without any pushback/challenge - they aligned to Government guidelines and didn't penalise us in any way. Our wedding coordinator did change a couple of times (as we booked over a year in advance) but the last few months in the run up to our big day Niamh Reilly was our main point of contact and we where in very safe hands- any feedback/ suggestions or requests that we had where never any trouble and the day went off without a hitch. The Hotel & Balyna House is stunning, staff where top class/ very professional, we also booked Phil Hayes the inhouse florist and she did a fantastic job on both our outside ceremony space and rooms/ centrepieces inside the main house. The whole team on the day (and breakfast the day after!) where all so friendly, the food was amazing and plentiful - we got lots of great feedback from all our guests. Overall it externally good value for money ; ) we would highly recced this to any couples looking for a great venue, fab food and 5 start service ;)

We booked Moyvalley as our wedding venue back in july 2018 and from the minute we walked into Balyna house, we just knew that it would be the perfect place for us and our day. The grounds are stunning and the entire team are extremely professional and responsive. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic wasn't easy but both Orla Flanagan and Orla Beegan helped to take the stress away. After moving our date a few times we decided to brush ahead and have our wedding on the 7th November, in the height of lockdown with just 6 weeks to plan and organise it all. We couldn't have done it without the help of both coordinators. Our day ran so smoothly and Balyna house was the most perfect venue for a small wedding. All of our guests mentioned that the day felt so normal with a good atmosphere and that is definately down to how the team at Moyvalley handled everything in a very pragmatic way. They went above and beyond for us. Everything was perfect on the day; the food, the entertainment, the bar staff, the value. We couldn't recommend this venue any more than we do and we cannot wait to return in the future.

We were very happy with moyvalley hotel, Ryan was exceptional, throughout our stay also, orla Beegan event manager, who was very helpful from the start.

We had our wedding reception in Balyna House and it was bloody great. Theres a lot of planning that goes into the day and the two Orlas and Niamh were just exellent in helping it be an easy process in the months building up to the day. They also gave brilliant advise on our food choices for the meal which was seriously appreciated. The house itself is just a class location and you get a hell of a lot of bang for your buck. We were taken aback when we arrived after the ceremony at how class, warm and welcoming the venue was even after we had visited to view during the buildup. With it being a chriustmas wedding the decorations just added more to it all also. Basically, if you are looking for a manor house type wedding all in one location where all your guests can stay onsite at a brilliant price with absolutely incredible staff...then this is the place for you. If you plan to be real specific with your needs also...just ask the question to one of the two Orlas or Niamh and they will get it sorted easy. Happy days...enjoy

Orla and Orla were excellent wedding coordinators. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were extremely responsive on emails,replying to any little question we had. They both made sure that we had an exceptional wedding day and didnt have to worry about anything. All of our guests raved about the food, the venue and the staff at Moyvalley. We couldnt have been happier with our whole experience. Thank you to everyone at Moyvalley who went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect.

Had my wedding here and it was a lovely venue and staff are brilliant. But just in case couples would like to be aware, the the new owner of the hotel has applied for the apartments to be an ipas center. People renting the apartments are being told to leave to allow for this.

Service was brilliant! Every member of staff went out of their way to accommodate us and our guests. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was polite and friendly.

Can't thank the staff enough for all their hard work on our wedding day. It was absolutely fantastic and wouldn't change a thing. Food and venue was just perfect. I am so glad we decided to go with Moyvalley. All the guests had such lovely comments about the venue and staff. Wish we could do it all again. Niamh and Carl xx

Moyvalley was an amazing venue for our wedding! We had our civil ceremony & drinks reception in Balyna House, dinner in the main hotel and the after party in the cellar bar of Balyna House. Everything about the hotel was amazing. The staff, food, rooms, venue, setting were fantastic. We want to say a hugh thank you to Orla Beegan, Orla Flanagan and all the staff who were so great with all the wedding planning and also on the day of the wedding. All of our guests also loved the venue and we received so many compliments afterwards. I would highly recommend Moyvalley to anyone looking for their wedding location!

The most magical winter Wedding
. From the moment we drive up the avenue to when we were greeted in the Manor house was just beyond perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning. Old style Charm in the manor house to perfect function room with candle arbors. I highly recommend this venue. The food is beautiful and the staff amazing. We had the best weekend ever. They went above and beyond our expectations. THANK YOU

We had the best day! Orla, Simon and all the team at Moyvalley were outstanding. The staff were all so friendly and helpful throughout the weekend. My husband stayed in one of the cottages the week before the wedding and everyone was so lovely. We had the full day in Blayna House which was amazing. Everyone commented on how personal the venue was and it was like having a wedding in your house. The food was amazing. Everything worked out perfectly and we could not have asked for more.

We hand our wedding here in June, 2018. We availed of Balyna House for our afternoon - the receptions rooms and the garden was pefect for the sunny day outside music and drinks vibe we wanted. The weather and the service didn't disappoint on the day. All parts of the afternoon went perfect.

We used the hotel golf cart to access remote parts of the estate for some fantastic photo opportunities.

We moved to the hotel for the dinner and dancing and all aspects went smoothly. The staff attended to everything perfectly and the coordinator was on hand to ensure this for the day. The evening went off flawlessly and we retired to the cellar bar for the late drink and this was brilliant and even had some crisps sandwiches on standby which went down very well with all the guests.

In all. From the start of the planning we received excellent support and service from the two Orlas and their staff. Having both had our and having been a guest at a wedding here I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it to anyone who is on the fence. great location too for a wedding away from the hustle of Dublin but still accessiable.

We had our wedding at Balyna House last weekend, it was the most amazing day of our lives. We would love to be doing it all over again! Orla Beegan and all the team at Moyvalley were superb in every way possible. Our guests are still talking about our venue, from the beautiful stone house where we held our ceremony to the stunning Balyna House where we had our reception. The food was out of this world, the service, the atmosphere, the setting, it was all just perfect. We found Orla and everyone at Moyvalley very professional, efficient and lovely to deal with, which made our planning so much easier. I cannot recommend Moyvalley & Balyna House highly enough. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special.

We held our wedding and celebrations over two wonderful nights in Moyvalley Hotel on the 14th of April 2018.
We held our wonderful occasion in all three venues available in the hotel, with our ceremony in the beautiful intimate stone house, our drinks reception, family accommodation and second day in the spectacular Balyna House, and our main reception and guest accommodation in the hotel.
Words can't do justice to how much Moyvalley as a venue and their wonderful staff made this weekend the best of our lives. The smile still hasn't left our faces, and never will.
People make a place, and the people who work at Moyvalley made our wedding incredibly special for us. Friendly, obliging and very good at what they do - Orla Flanagan and her team and all of the staff at the hotel catered to our every need and made the day and whole weekend run smoothly. There was nothing that couldn't be done for us and some of the things the hotel did for us such as providing a fridge and microwave to prepare and store our new-born's bottles made us feel so special. The attention to detail and organisation meant all we had to do was sit back and relax and enjoy the day.
When planning our wedding we knew we wanted two nights and felt that it would work best if the entire venue was self-contained for both nights so that our guests could relax and unwind at their leisure but not have to move too far from their accommodation. We wanted somewhere far enough from home in Dublin that it felt like we were getting away but not too far to travel. When we first entered the gates to the hotel and drove through the beautiful grounds, past the stunning Balyna house we knew we could be on to a winner. We were holding a humanist ceremony and wanted a separate venue for the ceremony from the hotel room where we would dine. We fell in love with the Stone House the minute we set foot there. During the ceremony this intimate, atmospheric room brought our guests together with us for our special day.
We held our drinks reception, and second day BBQ in Balyna house. It is a classic grand country house, with a spectacular central staircase and chandeliers leading to the guest rooms. There is a warm bar with fireplace, reception room and another grand dining room looking out over the gardens. We took many of our photos inside Balyna house, the house was the perfect backdrop and it meant we were never too far from the party! We especially loved the basement bar for our wedding night residents bar. The bar staff were fantastic both nights, and the basket of tayto was a nice touch!
We had our main reception, dinner and dancing in the hotel itself. The room was dressed beautifully, and laid out exactly as we had asked for. There is a wonderful choice of food available in Moyvalley, we chose to go with Beef and Seabass for our main courses. The food was very nice, well received by all, and the hotel were happy to cater for any dietary requirement. We had 120 people at our meal, the room was perfect for this size, it didn't feel too big or too small, and there wasn't much movement required for us to set up the band, DJ and dancefloor and dance the night away.
Our guests were impressed with the hotel accommodation and the breakfast and food, all slept and ate well during the weekend. A special mention needs to go to the rooms in Balyna house. Our family and wedding party stayed here for the weekend. The rooms were absolutely amazing. We felt like royalty staying there.
Overall, we cannot recommend Moyvalley hotel enough. We had the best weekend of our lives there, and cannot wait to come back on our year anniversary. Thanks once more to Orla and all of the staff at the hotel, you made the weekend special just for us. Linda, Colm and baby Fionn.

I recently got married in balyna house in moyvalley hotel. We had our full reception in balyna house. I could not recommend the hotel and staff enough. The service they offered was second to none very professional very organised very flexible. The staff were so helpful and it was so nice to feel relaxed and know that all would be looked after and looked after so well. The facilities were great the food was fantastic and the staff very accomadating. The rooms and accommodation were brilliant. I would highly recommended the Hotel to any couple looking to get married.

We recently celebrated our wedding reception at Balyna House and our entire day was all we ever dreamed of! From the moment we arrived at the venue we were just blown away with the service we received. Our guests were all so complimentary of the staff And food at Balyna House.
We cannot thank the wedding team enough. A really special mention to Orla Flanagan who was there with us every step of our amazing journey. Orla was an absolute god send and was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had.
We honestly couldn't have asked for more from the venue. Balyna House is truly an exceptional wedding venue and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. I would highly reccomended anyone looking for an intimate venue to arrange a viewing.
Wishing the wedding team at Moyvalley continued success and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had the most amazing day at Moyvalley.

Excellent service in a beautiful venue

Excellent value for money excellent venue always happy to help, happy for all your ideas

Balyna house is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. There are not many places in Ireland where you have facilities and freedom like you do here and especially for the cost. Everything was second to none, the bedrooms, the decor, the staff and the food was to die for. Nothing to too big to ask for, they are so accommodating to all our requests. We had a few mix ups with rooms and everything was death with so smoothly. We had the entire day in the house from the ceremony to the drinks reception to dinner and dancing. We were even lucky enough to have an outdoor ceremony in the back patio and it was so incredible. The cellar bar in the basement is an added bonus where you can stay on to the wee hours of the night. The on joining hotel is your standard Irish hotel which is great to have for guests to stay but Balyna house is where the gem is! Could not recommend it more.

You won't go wrong with The Suite. Excellent band!

Our dance floor was hopping from start to finish!

Tina was great to respond to our e-mails and the lads in the band were great and looked the part.

Book The Suite!

Overall we had an amazing experience at Moyvalley; the wedding co-ordinators were very responsive to dealing with all our email queries prior to the wedding and nothing seemed to be a hassle. We had our wedding ceremony in the Stone House and reception in Balyna House; both beautiful venues and provided plenty of fantastic photos. We also held a 2nd night party at Balyna house; the cellar bar was definitely a hit with out guests! As we are based overseas, we liked the idea of holding all events in one venue and this was appreciated by our guests. It was fantastic to have all our guests on-site; the cottages are lovely and Balyna House is simply stunning. We had access to both the ceremony and reception rooms the day before so had plenty of time to set it up as we wished. On the day itself, Orla and Aisling were calm and patient with last minute requests/issues and Barry was fantastic at overseeing the evening part. In fact, all the staff were amazing especially the bar staff who kept us entertained during our time at the venue.

It's hard to put in to words how fantastic Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort is as a wedding venue and how great the staff are, but I will try to capture it in this review the best I can.
We had a lot of guests coming from the UK so needed a venue not too far from Dublin Airport with lots of accommodation options available. From the very first viewing we fell in love with Balyna House and knew in particular due to the accommodation options it was going to be our wedding venue. We had about 90 guests and held our wedding ceremony in Stone House and wedding reception in Balyna House in October 2016. Orla, Simon, Barry and Sara went above and beyond to cater to all our needs as well as our guests. When I met or spoke to them I felt so reassured, I never worried and they always offered suggestions and advice if required. They are a first-class professional team.
Between the Hotel, Balyna House and cottages it catered to our accommodation needs, nothing was ever a problem for the staff to provide. We ended up having a two-day wedding between in Balyna House and from start to finish the staff, service, food just everything was outstanding. Ann in the restaurant in particular, was wonderful to deal with. Our guests are still raving about the venue as well and the food and accommodation.
I would strongly recommend using Sheefin Florists for all wedding flowers as well as decoration of Balyna House ? superb service from Aoife and her team ? the florist had been recommended by Moyvalley. Also, if you want a Harpist for the drinks reception or ceremony, Ann Tuite.
Orla who is the Wedding & Event Coordinator, is exceptional in her role and as I mentioned above, makes sure everything is running smoothly in the background on the day.
I highly recommend this venue. If Balyna House is available for the 2 days make sure you have a BBQ on the 2nd day, regardless of the time of year, it gives you that extra time with your guests to reminisce on the events of the day before and as you have full use of the house, you have your own bar for the night ? so it's a cosy relaxing night in too.
Anyone looking for a wedding venue look no further!
It truly was an outstanding wedding weekend that none of us will ever forget.
Thank you again to everyone in Moyvalley for making our wedding so perfect.

Our wedding planner Orla was great, she was always working away in the background making sure our day went smoothly. The wedding reception in Balyna House was lovely, and using the cottages for accomodation made it a memorable and comfortable stay for everyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day at Balyna House. Orla Flanagan was our wedding co-ordinator and she was excellent and so helpful in the run up to and on the big day. All our requests or special needs were dealt with promptly. The venue was fantastic, the service was excellent and we cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did for us. We highly recommend Balyna as a wedding venue.

It was just an awesome find within our meager budget. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We also had an unusual format (small family ceremony and meal, followed by large evening reception) and wanted a manor house which Moyvalley were able to cater for. We'd done a lot of research of venues and few could cater to this format, especially within our budget.

Our experience across the full Moyvalley team was extremely professional and helpful from the get-go. Orla (our coordinator) and all other members of the hotel team ensured that the entire planning process was enjoyable and relaxed throughout (even in the midst of Storm Desmond arriving the night before the wedding ????). We used the Stone House for our ceremony, which was beautiful and intimate, and Balyna House for the rest of our day. We could not recommend it enough as a wedding venue.

I had my Wedding on the grounds of Moyvalley Hotel and Golf resort in September and I cannot rate my experience high enough. We had our ceremony in the Stone House and it was so beautifully decorated that it was a magical experience walking up the aisle. The reception was held in Balyna House and I could not have asked for a beautiful venue to share with my family on my special day. The meal was fabulous, my guest were very impressed. It was beautifully presented and hot, which in my experience is a rare compliment. So a big thank you to the chefs and waiters and waitresses on the day. You are the hidden gems in the hospitality industry.

A special thanks to Barry, he kept a very cool head on the day when the little things went wrong!

And lastly a huge thanks to Orla, the Wedding and Events Coordinator. From the start she was just as excited for my Wedding as myself and my now hubby were. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for us to make the day as special as it was. There was nothing I had to do but turn up, get beautified, get married and have fun. Orla and her amazing Team did the rest.

I cannot recommed Moyvalley Hotel enough to other Brides-to-be. So if you are reading this and think of having your wedding there, go check it out you will fall in love with it instantly. Simon, has created a brilliant staff team and it was an absolute pleasure to share my day with them.

Thanks again to all.
