Reviews of The Great Northern Hotel, Golf and Leisure Centre
Karen and Ciara were absolutely brilliant, Karen was there to answer any questions all the way through, and gave excellent suggestions to us which saved us a bit of money, which was appreciated!
Everything was 100% including food, service and venue. So many of our guests commented on how there was no delay in the food arriving to tables, it ran like clockwork. In comparison to weddings we have attended, where you could be waiting ages between courses there was none of that messing with the chef in Great Northern! Food was beautiful.
Karen was so helpful in planning, as we had two small children and wedding planning was becoming overwhelming at times and she was there to answer any queries we had, and always lovely to chat to!
Couldnt recommend the hotel, food, staff and location any more. It was also very reasonably priced for all that we got, in comparison to other venues. We go back any chance we get for any family occasion. Thanks Karen, Ciara and team!
