Testimonials

FROM OUR PREVIOUS WEDDING COUPLES

LAURA & ROBERT

We had our wedding day on 6th October. Our drinks reception was in the Atrium and our meal was in the Abbey Suite.

Orla and Niall couldn’t have done enough for us. Everyone thought the food and hotel rooms were exceptional and the service was flawless.

Everything was just perfect and we are so happy we chose Muckross Park Hotel for our wedding day.

KATHLEEN AND IVAN

It was a fantastic and memorable day and feedback from our guests was that it was one of the best weddings they’ve attended. Orla O’Driscoll was a pleasure to deal with from day one of meeting her. Niall on the day was excellent. Attention on the day received was second to none. Thank you all for making our day amazing !!!

NANCY & DAMIEN

Beautiful venue, we used all of the suites, and it worked out perfectly. Orla was wonderful to work with and worked cohesively with our wedding planning team. The food was spectacular, everyone raved about it. The hospitality and attentiveness was above and beyond. I highly recommend this venue.

EMMA & NIALL

Our wedding reception was held at Muckross Park Hotel. The Valentia Suite looked absolutely incredible, and everything went so smoothly and without a glitch on the day.

In the run up to the wedding, Orla and Niall were on hand to answer our queries, ensuring that our most perfect day was planned to the last detail. They showed great professionalism and attention to detail as we planned our wedding day. Words cannot describe how well our guests were looked after by Niall and the team on the day. We received fabulous feedback from our guests who had the best time over the course of the evening in the Muckross Park Hotel; the staff were attentive, and the food was simply excellent. Guests have been saying it was the best wedding they have been to in years!

I want to thank you Orla and Niall for all your hard work that went into making our day so special, and for helping us make our wedding day an occasion we will always remember.

JACQUI & GER

We had a beautiful wedding, a love and fun filled few days in Muckross park Hotel. What a beautiful venue for our Christmas Wedding with the Christmas decorations and open fires.

Thank you so much for all the organising and step by step guidance and overseeing the day and what was needed for day two also. The menu with Vegan food was delicious, there was something for everyone. We can’t speak highly enough of the staff, who were professional and polite putting everyone at ease. A special shout out for yourself, Niall, and Joanne on the top table. The Wedding was a huge hit with all our family and friends. We danced all night with the Bentley boys rocking the night away.

Day 2 , was a relaxed Buffet with live music in the bar. My daughter spoke with Staff and the Musicians and before we knew it, we were dancing the Seige of Ennis.

Thank you again for helping me stay calm during the planning. We will recommend you highly.

We couldn’t be more pleased with how our wedding went.

All the best to you Orla and the wonderful kind staff at Muckross Park Hotel.
