What the guests have said about
Ballybeg House in 2009...

6th April 2009

In case Suzanne and Karl don’t manage to write in this book, I thought I would say that the moment they met Paddy & Dominique, Ballybeg was the perfect place for their wedding – the place is spectacular!

I wasn’t involved with the pre-wedding preparations in the months leading up to July 4th, but on the day it was apparent that everything Suzanne & Karl wanted had been noted in the conversations with Dominique over the past nine months.

Dominique – the flowers (throughout Ballybeg), Suzanne's camper van, the church, the reception – everything was so beautifully finessed. Suzanne was so thrilled and was so relaxed in the days up to the wedding because she knew you were there to help her look after the last minute details.

Rain or sunshine – Ballybeg is a magical place and everyone had a wonderful time celebrating with Suzanne and Karl.

Thank you, Annie
(And of course the food was out of this world!!)

To Dom & Paddy
What can we say! There are not enough words to describe just how beautiful and special you made our day.

It was just incredible, and after a morning of torrential rain, by some miracle the sun came out on Ballybeg! We were truly blessed and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

You guys are definitely the A-Team!

Thank you so much.
All our love, Clare & Jonathan xxxx

Tony & Nina’s Wedding

What an amazing, amazing place for a wedding. So many lovely features, quirky water features, architectural plants, superb views. They even ordered us perfect weather! Everything was so relaxed and informal.

Thank you, Ann Philips (Grooms Mum)
P.S. Sorry forgot to mention amazing catering staff. They picked me lemon balm leaves to make me tea. Thanks x.

There really aren’t enough superlatives to cover Ballybeg. What a magical place. From the first day we drove down the drive we knew this was the place we wanted to be married.

Dom, Paddy and crew, you made magic happen, the sun shone, the drink flowed.

Thank you for letting us do it our way, in your place.

To Paddy, Patrick, Angela, Breda, Jim and everyone at Ballybeg House.

Thank you for the most amazing time, we are so grateful for all your hard work organising and easy going natures. Thank you to Patrick Jnr. From our first day of meeting you have been a star and we really appreciate all your hard work. Our guests loved the house, marquee, barbeque, hot tub and views – it’s paradise!

So as we set off on our journey together we will treasure our memories of Ballybeg forever.

All our love, Katrina & James

Thank you for making our dreams come true this weekend – our wedding was so much more fantastic than we ever could have imagined.

This is a magical place and its lovely to have such happy memories of our wedding weekend at Ballybeg with our families and friends enjoying themselves so much.

Dominique – you were incredible and thank you so much for making it all go so smoothly – and for the lovely bouquets!

Ingrid – all our guests were bowled over by the food – the quality, presentation & style were all superb (and of course the hotdog BBQ!).

We hope our hula hoping session in the marquee might be the start of a new craze at Ballybeg.

Thank you all!
Audrey & Philip

Dominique, Paddy & all the magical wonderful staff at Ballybeg House. We will never ever forget this weekend for as long as we live.

Dominique, you truly are a wonderful, wonderful person. Your organisation & enthusiasm for this weekend will never be forgotten. Without you, the day wouldn’t have run so brilliantly. All our guests were truly fascinated by the house, the marquee & the food. A lot of people have said to us that this is the best wedding they have ever been to.

I know the weather went totally against us, but we didn’t let that ruin our day, and it didn’t ruin our guests day either. The stories & history behind the house are brilliant & the Fossetts circus 800 yards down the road was very appropriate!

The hot tub went down a treat! It was used plenty over the weekend! The grounds – everyone commented on the grounds! My Dad in particular as this is his line of work.
Again thank you so, so much to everyone for everything.

We will be recommending this venue to everyone!! We will never forget it, thank you for making our day so magical.

Lots of Love, Lee & Sara

To Paddy, Patrick, Dominique & all the staff at Ballybeg, words cannot express how special our wedding was. This was down to all of you. You helped make this every inch the wedding we always dreamed of having.

What a spectacular beautiful setting, even the sun came out to play. This is a day that not only we, but all of our family & friends will remember forever.

You made this so special through your attention to detail and everyone we’ve spoken to says they have never been at a wedding like it, and for that we both thank you with all of our hearts.

Dear Dom, Paddy & Ingrid,
Thank you so much for an amazing few days. You made our wedding more special than we ever expected. A big thanks to Fiona as well for being on call at every moment.

Guys, very simplistically the three days were what we expected and more. The attention to detail was fantastic and everyone was more than helpful. I have 100% confidence in recommending you all for the future and I hope our paths cross again though not in the marriage stakes!! Ger Doyle is also great.

Many thanks.
