The Red Door Country House Restaurant Venue of the Year

We could not have selected a more perfect place for our weddings. The grounds are amazing, the house is perfect and the service and staff are first class.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful and accommodating venue for our special day. The experience and support during the wedding planning and on the day was exceptional. We worked closely with Frances who was amazing and guided us through to the smallest detail and brought everything together on the day. The food was beautiful and we still hear our friends comment on the food to this today. All staff were amazing on the day making it even more special.

Stunning, private water-front location. The food is still being talked about! It was unbelievably delicious and the quality of the produce was top class. Excellent value for money in our opinion. Frances and the team couldn't have done enough for us. We felt so special on the day and on the lead up to it. They were all so friendly and professional. We are so glad we chose The Red Door. We couldn't recommend it enough to anyone who'd listen.

We had a fantastic experience working with Frances and the Red Door staff for our wedding. The food, atmosphere, organisation and attention to detail in the run up and on the day was impeccable. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect spot to have our wedding

We couldn't recommend Frances enough. She was great to work with. Everything we asked for she delivered on. Our guests are still talking about the wedding meal. Thank you to the Red Door, especially Frances and staff for making our day so special.

The red door is literally the most perfect wedding venue. We had a vision in our head and the red door exceeded expectations on every possible aspect.

We had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding here in this amazing venue. Frances and all the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us on the day and in the run up to the big day. The food, the atmosphere, the surroundings really were second to none... It exceeded all our expectations and beyond

From making the initial inquiry, throughout the preparations for the big day, the wedding day itself and beyond, you will not find a better, more accomodating wedding venue than The Red Door in Fahan. Frances and her team made sure the most special day of our lives was also the smoothest, most stress free, most magical day, a day that turned out better than anything we could have expected in every way possible. Every single one of our guests remarked on how great the day was, from the location, the reception, the food, the staff....it was quite simply perfect. A huge thank you to the Red Door.

Everyone at the Red Door treated us amazingly during our wedding! Any issues that came up were dealt with so quickly without any stress at all ! The venue itself was superb and perfect for our wedding. Couldn't ask for anything more !

I would very highly recommend a wedding at The Red Door! Frances and her team are absolute professionals and work with you as a couple in a friendly, open and relaxed way. We had to change our wedding plans multiple times due to covid and each time Frances and previously, Linda were very quick to get back to us and worked hard to help our plans come together. No matter what we asked about Frances worked with us to make it happen and she had everything in hand.

The venue was amazing on the day, so beautifully presented and all the staff were friendly and professional. So many of our guests commented on the staff who served their meal, each guest got exactly what they ordered without having to be asked to confirm their order. This was especially remarkable as many guests ordered steaks cooked to their liking! How so many delicious meals were cooked at the same time to such a high level is remarkable to me!

The food was amazing, some guests commented to us that it was the best meal they had in their life - not just the best wedding food!

We enjoyed our day immensely from start to finish and so much of that was down to how relaxed we felt knowing that The Red Door had everything in hand. We can't thank them enough!

We couldn't have chose a more perfect wedding venue, we had thee most special day and we have every single staff member to thank for that, Thankyou for everything xxx

We held our wedding at the Red Door last week and we cannot thank them enough for what was a truly amazing day !
The Service and the attention to detail was second to none and the Food was exceptional!
During the planning and thoughout the day Francis & Peter were on top of everything, nothing was too much trouble and the flexibilty around changes etc was fantastic.
Many who attended commented that the food was by far the best they had experienced and any wedding they had been to elsewhere.
The Red Door is more than just a venue, it is an experience and one that made our wedding day exceptional 😍
Thanks so much

The Red Door Team were a pleasure to work with and nothing was an issue. We got married during COVID which made the planning very unpredictable right up to the day of the wedding. We would highly recommend the venue to future couples.

We had our wedding reception in The Red Door and it was absolutely amazing. I wouldn't change a single thing. From the food and drinks, to the decor and atmosphere, the views and the Christmas decorations, the staff and service - everything was perfect. We honestly couldn't recommend Frances and her fantastic team enough. The planning process was easy and enjoyable and no request was ever too much. The setting is intimate and cosy, perfect for the type of wedding that we wanted. Thank you to everyone The Red Door for hosting our big day.

We only looked at a few possible wedding venues but very quickly decided to go with the Red Door when we visited. Right from the start Frances and Linda were brilliant; profession, warm and welcoming and incredibly accommodating. We had planned for a July 2020 wedding but this was interrupted by the pandemic, so we had to move dates twice and also reduced our guest numbers. The Red Door could not have been more accommodating; we weren't put under pressure despite what we imagine must have been a very stressful for themselves. Communication throughout was excellent. On the actual wedding day, The Red Door was perfect. We had the venue to ourselves and our guests so it felt very exclusive, but still relaxed and homely with lots of character. We had around 76 guests which seemed to be a good number and the venue nicely filled up although it could have accommodated more. Everything ran as smoothly as we could have hoped and the wedding dinner was amazing and every bit as good as the Restaurant is when not catering for a wedding. As the Venue has just 4 guest bedrooms our guests found accommodation close by and there are lots of options including guest houses and hotels in Buncrana; The Red Door also arranged transport. Our guests all seemed to love the venue for including the wedding dinner. We had a private breakfast with our parents the next morning before some of our guests joined us for afternoon tea and again Frances and her team were incredibly accommodating. There are ample photo opportunities on site. We would gladly choose the Red Door again and I have already recommend it to other couples planning their own wedding.

One word ?unbelievable?. From the day we booked the wedding until the day we got married, everything was exceptional. Francis, Mags and Co, went out of their way to make our day absolutely perfect. Nothing was a bother, and whatever we asked for they helped us. The setting if anyone who ever hasn't been at the Red Door is exceptional, everyone was made feel extremely welcomed when they landed. The food, which we already knew from previous weddings we attended was top drawer. Everyone commented how good it was. Everything exceeded our expectations and If there was a way I could review it for more than 5 stars, I would give it 10

Many thanks for everything Francis, Mags & Co

Such a beautiful place to get married. We had an outdoor cermony there and had the reception there also.The food and service was excellent from start to finish They really went above and beyond to make our day so special.

The venue and staff are brilliant. The food is outstanding. They make your wedding day very easy.

We have had so many lovely comments from our wedding guests about how amazing the food and service was in the red door on our wedding day. They went above and beyond on the day and looked after us so well.

5 stars all round from the amazing food to the location and wonderful staff. Linda and Francis were so so helpful every step of the way. Truly An exceptional venue.

Myself and my husband got married at the Red Door Country House in May 2019, and the day could not have ran any smoother thanks to all of the hard working staff at the Red Door. The food was amazing, the view was stunning, and the service was even better. If I was to do it all again, I would do it exactly the same!

We couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding .. everything was perfect from start to finish.. the team went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our day went flawless and perfect... we live in New York so you would think planning would be difficult, Linda was an absolute star and helped us every step of the way ..and Frances is a true professional at her job , you have never seen multitasking like it !!! A lot of family and friends travelled over from the states and they were beyond impressed with the amazing food , the excellent service and of course our outstanding Irish hospitality... if you want your dream wedding the Red Door is your place !!!

Our wedding day at The Red Door went beyond all our expectations. Frances and Linda were extremely supportive every step of the way with us up to and throughout our wedding day. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful. It was held in a marquee overlooking the stunning views of Lough Swilly. Afterwards, guests were offered canapes and drinks while we had our photos taken. The new outdoor seating area was perfect for the guests to relax and enjoy the live music.
The dinner was superb. The choice of starters and main courses were all cooked to perfection and were served in an impeccable fashion thanks to the professionalism of each member of staff.
Overall, we had a perfect day. Our heartfelt thanks to Frances and all the staff.

The attention to detail by the staff at the red door was impeccable. I was a little worried that the decorations, photo booth etc I had brought to the venue a few days before our wedding wouldn't be laid out as I had wanted however I left instructions and it was set up better than if I had done it myself, absolutely brilliant! Everything was perfect from start to finish, a dream day in the perfect setting.

Leanne, Linda, Francis and the rest of the staff at The Red Door could not have been more helpful. They are very professional, friendly and so easy to work with. The food was delicious and everything went so smoothly. We would highly recommend!

The Red Door is the most amazing wedding venue. Our day was just perfect and people are still talking about the food&service. From booking the wedding until fhe day itself the staff couldn't do enough for us. We would choose there again&again. Just fabulous.

The Red Door cannot do more for you from the minute you book your wedding until it is all over. The staff are out of this world as well as the food and the venue. We cannot believe how special it is and the value for your money, given the luxury you will experience is hard to believe. I ADORE this venue!!

What a wonderful venue for our special day. The staff, food, service, venue and thankfully the weather was more than we could have asked.
All of our wedding guests were totally won over by The Red Door and the lamb rack cooked to order was a hit.
Truely wonderful day and venue!

I don't think we could have picked a better venue than the red door to host our wedding. The staff service was second to none... nothing was a problem and they could not have done enough to ensure the day ran smoothly and our guests were looked after. We received a lot of extremely positive feedback about the red door following the wedding- namely the food, the staff, the location. If I had to do it all over, I would choose the red door every time. Such a fabulous venue and fabulous staff also.

Our wedding day with The Red Door surpassed all of our expectations. From our ceremony on the gardens, cocktails in the sun and the most stunning dinner reception, our guests are still raving about such a beautiful day. The view, setting, food and personality of the staff make it an exceptional venue.

Our experience of having our wedding day at The Red Door was wonderful. The entire team made the run-up to the wedding stress-free, they were open to every request we had and made us feel very special on the day itself.

The venue was presented stunningly, with the outside marquee overlooking Lough Swilly, and we got feedback from many of our guests that it was hands down the best wedding food they?d ever had.

The real test of a wedding venue comes when something doesn't go exactly to plan on the day, which inevitably will happen. There was a burst water mains pipe in a nearby town, meaning no running water in the surrounding areas from 6am until late in the evening on our wedding day. To emphasise how professional and flexible the team was, we didn't even realise ourselves that they had no running water as they worked tirelessly to keep topping up tanks all day long with bottled water, while also doing all their other wedding day jobs.

We cannot recommend The Red Door highly enough to people planning their wedding, and look forward to coming back there many times in the future.

The staff at The Red Door were fantastic and nothing was too much of an ask for them.. they helped make our day perfect. Our guests had a great day as did we!

We had our wedding here in May and I can't thank the Red Door enough, all our guests complimented us on the quailty of the food and how helpful all the staff were. Frances and her team couldn't do enough for us leading up to our wedding too. I would recommend the Red Door to anyone.

The Red Door team welcomes you with competency & their passion for service is incomparable. At all times troughout the pre-wedding process from booking to the big day. The team are available always. They check-in regularly. All you need to do is turn up! They pull out all the stops plus go beyond. They made us the happiest memories. The only regret you would have, would be if you didn't book your wedding at the Red Door. We are glad we did.

We highly recommend this venue. The wedding team were so professional to work with and made planning our wedding so easy.

Professional, courteous, helpful - lots of superlatives which really don't do the venue justice. A fabulous location, food, service, staff. Simply faultless, best decision we made to have our wedding reception here!

My husband and I could not fault The Red Door, everything from our first meeting until our wedding day was handled excellent, always keeping in contact and checking everything was ok. The staff, surroundings, layout of the wedding venue and the food are all top notch...staff were all so attentive and paid attention to our needs. If you are looking for the best wedding venue, this is definitely the place. All our guests absolutely loved everything about the red door also...and the food is to die for!! Such an intimate and special place.

We had an amazing experience with Leanne, Frances and all the team at The Red Door. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the venue for us. It's so warm and welcoming with its beautiful vintage decor, and the grounds and views are the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
Our whole experience from initial contact to leaving day day after the wedding was second to none! The food is divine! Even if you're not getting married, go for the food, seriously!!!
Frances made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly, including guiding the bridesmaids through their 'walk up the aisle' and not freaking out at us when we broke their knife trying to cut the wedding cake! (My aunt forgot to tell us she had left a cake board inside!!!!)
If we could do it all over again, we would still get married at The Red Door. Now we just need to plan a few more events to have here.

Outstanding food, staff amazing, nothing was ever too much trouble. Simply faultless!

From start to finish everyone at The Red Door went out of their way to make our day complete. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

The most beautiful setting for a wedding, food is superb & staff the best!
