Wedding Reviews for Harvey's Point

We have to say from the first day we walked into Harvey's point we were blown away by the whole experience. For how professional all the staff were and the wedding coordinator was. Even then the build up to the main day they couldn't do enough for us. When the big day arrived for us it was the best service ever. All our guest are still talking about our wedding and the Harvey's point experience and how well they all were treated. And most of all for the lovely food that was served on the day it was out of this world.
Again Loretta and I would like to thank Noel and the whole staff at Harvey's point for making our day one to remember for life.

When we were initially selecting a venue for our wedding we knew Harvey's Point had to be 'the one' as soon as we stepped through the door. The customer service is second to none, the food is something else and there is a welcoming atmosphere about the place that makes you feel like you're at home.

We dealt with Joanne at the start - a lovely, down to earth girl who couldn't have been more helpful and always answered my email queries (and there were a lot of them!) quickly and effectively. When we realised Joanne wasn't going to be there on the week of the wedding we were a bit concerned but quickly realised that Samantha was every bit as friendly, helpful and efficient as Joanne.

On the day of the wedding everything went without a hitch and some great memories were made. I know a lot of our guests are still talking about the food - the buffet options left everyone spoilt for choice and the quality of the food overall was first class. We can honestly say that Harvey's was a massive contributing factor to the best day of our lives and we would highly recommend it to any bride and groom looking for the perfect wedding venue.

Not possible to express enough thanks to The Gysling Family, Noel, Eamonn and the Team.
Harvey's Point made it a weekend to remember. Everyone who works at the Hotel had a kind word for us and took care of everything to the highest of standards.
Our wedding consultants Joanne & Samantha paved the way for a wonderful experience. We got to meet and chat with so many there who could not be more friendly.
With a family like atmosphere at Harvey's Point, anything that could be done - was done, making our celebration feel like something unique and special. When they say it's the little things, this saying came to life when we found lovely cards in our room from the Team in the evenings and continuous laughter and smiles from everyone throughout. Magic. It is a dream wedding venue.
All our party had the same experience and we will be forever indebted to Harvey's Point for that weekend.

Highly recommend!

Well, what can we say about Harvey’s Point? We just love it! Here’s our story.
Two years ago as mine and Joe’s birthday is on the same day (3rd October) I searched the internet for a night away to stay in Donegal when I came across Harvey’s Point and immediately thought it looked amazing so I booked us in to stay. From the moment we walked through the door we just fell in love with the place. The staff on reception were extremely friendly and so helpful and just lovely. Our room was just amazing. That night then we went for dinner (their food is just perfect also) Joe had arranged, with the help of the staff to propose after dinner, he had the waiter bring my ring out along with a birthday cake when he then got down on one knee and proposed in front of everyone and of course I said yes!! It was all just so overwhelming.
So from that night on we were hooked with Harvey’s Point and decided that that’s where our wedding would be so we set our date for Tuesday 2/10/2018.
We cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for us. They are so professional in everything they do and they made us feel so welcome and they made organising our wedding so easy and stress-free. We stayed down the night before but they just took care of everything, anything we wanted they took care of it. It was just the most perfect day we’ve ever had. We cannot praise the hotel and the staff enough, they kept to their schedule of the day and made sure everything went smoothly which it did so that made us feel at ease knowing that they were there taking care of everything. A lot of our guests had never been and they just loved it too and I’m sure they will be back again.
We really can’t praise them enough, we will now be regular guests especially on our birthday/anniversary every year.
Thanks again to all of you who made our special day that bit more special ❤️

When we were initially selecting a venue for our wedding we knew it had to be in Harveys Point as soon as we stepped through the door. The customer service is second to none, the food is something else and there is a welcoming atmosphere about the place that makes you feel like you're at home.

We dealt with Joanne at the start - a lovely, down to earth girl who couldn't have been more helpful and always answered my email queries (and there were a lot of them!) quickly and effectively.

I know a lot of our guests are still talking about the food - the buffet options left everyone spoilt for choice and the quality of the food overall was first class.

Harvey's Point can only be described as an absolute dream wedding venue. You will not be disappointed in any possible facet. Not only is it absolutely stunning, the food is without doubt the best you can get at a wedding, and the level of service you receive is superior. We selected Harvey's as our wedding venue 1.5 years before our wedding date, and from the moment we booked it, we were beyond delighted with the service we received.
The wedding consultants are so easy to get in contact with, answer all of your questions, provide any information you should need - whether it be multiple floor plans or the dimensions of the dance floor! They will try to make every vision you have work and ensure it is your dream day. Even when it came to the tasting, they made that such a special experience with our own personalized menu!
On the day itself, we were absolutely blown away. Samantha & Christy were there the entire time, tending to our every need. At one point, I lost a little brooch that had been on my bouquet and mentioned it to Samantha, thinking I wouldn't find it again. Samantha went out of her way to ensure it was found. Christy checked in with all of our guests, ensured everyone was enjoying themselves, and any little "bumps" along the way were smoothed out within minutes so that we weren't even made aware! Noel also had a lovely introduction prior to the dinner as well, he had gone out of his way to get to know us - even referring to the hospital I was born in!
Cost-wise, it is expensive. You can definitely get cheaper venues. But I can honestly say they are worth every penny, all the time spent saving. Even just for the level of service you receive, they are simply another class. We have asked so many of our guests what was their favorite part of the day, and a lot of them have said "no particular part, just the venue itself, how gorgeous it is, the "little things" they did and the food".
You will be beyond delighted if you have your Day at Harvey's!

Myself and Barry got married at Harvey’s Point on 28/4/18. We had the best weekend of our lives and it’s all thanks to all the amazing staff at Harvey’s Point especially Samantha, Joanne & Gavin (they are an asset to the hotel). From we initially booked Harvey’s Point they have been a pleasure to deal with nothing was a problem, they went out of their way with their excellent customer service. They offer a first class service and go out of their way for every guest to make sure they are having a good day. We could not recommend Harvey’s Point any more they provide a 5-star service and the food.. wow! Everyone is talking about the food and the amazing service that all the staff displayed. Worth every single penny! We can not thank you enough for making our special day even better than what we imagined, we can’t wait to get back down to spend a weekend at this amazing venue. Love Mr & Mrs O’Neill xxx

Dear Harveys point wedding team and all the staff- I don't even know where to begin. We had our wedding reception on the 9th of December and it was absolutely amazing in every way! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of planning my wedding and working with the team. The attention to detail from the staff is unbelievable and all the extra touches are just wow wow wow!! The beautiful setting, the gorgeous food, the service and the friendliness of the staff just went above and beyond any expectations! 5 star in every way!! All our guests were just blown away by Harveys point and can't wait to return! Thanks again to Samantha, Joanne and Gavin they were just a pleasure to work with!! ! Thank you to you all for a wonderful day! Mr and Mrs Conway xx

We had our wedding reception at Harvey's Point in June. When we started to plan for our big day, Samantha was so helpful and accommodating and it felt like nothing was ever too much trouble. There was so much else for us to consider for our day but we always felt like everything was in hand at Harvey's Point.

We had THE most fantastic day. Obviously our guests thought the hotel and surrounds were amazing and everyone commented on the professionalism and warmth of the staff. Families noted how well even the small children were attended to and made feel welcome. The food was amazing. One friend said afterwards "that was definitely the best wedding breakfast, ever'"!

Our thanks and gratitude goes out to the whole team. It was a fabulous day, perfect from start to finish, and clearly enjoyed by all.

We very much look forward to coming back.

Wow!! I don't even know where to begin... My husband and I got married at Harvey's Point on Saturday 4th November and we had the most amazing and magical day ever! The grounds around the hotel are just beautiful. All of our guests can't stop talking about the food (which is out of this world!), the attention to detail, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff - nothing was ever too much trouble! We had the best day ever and we can't thank each and every member of staff at Harvey's Point enough for making our wedding day so special from the moment we walked through the door. We already can't wait to visit again! A special thank you must go to Samantha for being so wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning - she is amazing! We also can't forget Gavin, Christie, Joanna and Joanne. To any future brides and grooms considering their wedding at Harvey's Point give it no other thought and book it! You most definitely will not be disappointed! Love The Lambe's xxx

We had the most exceptional Wedding Day at Harvey's Point in June 2017. The level of understanding, guidance and attention to detail from start to finish was beyond what myself and Mark had ever expected. The high quality of service seemed so effortless that our guests were immediately relaxed and ready to enjoy the party. While one guest was gushing about the size of the rooms and baths, another said it was the first wedding she went to where, as a guest, even she was made to feel special. What more could a bride and groom ask for on their Wedding Day!? A blissful day I wish we could repeat again and again at Harvey's. A massive thank you to everyone involved!

We had our wedding on the 24th May 2017 & right from the initial stages, we were treated like royalty & so warmly welcomed by the lovely, down-to-earth, world-famous Irish hospitality. We dealt with Samantha, Joanne & Kathleen who were all extremely professional & helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble & they constantly went above & beyond in every aspect of our big day. The night before the wedding was stressful to say the least, but Joanne couldn't have been more accomodating, even returning to work after her shift finished to help us put everything together, constantly assuring us all would be ok.

The new entrance is just stunning & it made our day knowing that we not only had use of the main function room for our meal & evening reception, but also the new room for our drinks reception, complete with a jazz-style bar & separate area where your requested beverages are presented & served from.

Our menu tasting was fantastic! The food was gorgeous & the choice of dishes brilliant. When we couldn't narrow down our mains to 2 choices, Joanne gave us a 3rd for the same price, which was yet another much-appreciated special touch! The wedding meal was nothing short of amazing! Our guests have said they haven't had a wedding meal like it before & the surprise fireworks at dessert added an unforgettable magical moment to our entire day!

The Bridal Suite is just out of this world! It's massive, beautifully decorated & very romantic. Another very meaningful touch was the platter of buffet food, wedding cake with tea & coffee, & a personalised poem about marriage left in our room by the hotel

Harvey's Point is by far the best and only place to have a wedding reception. The food is totally amazing and a fantastic range of choice is available to cater for everyone's taste. The staff are exceptional and meet your every need. Samantha and Joanne are incredible wedding co-ordinators and they take away all the stress of planning a wedding as they do everything to perfection. The accommodation available for guests is second to none and Harvey's Point even accommodates pets! Our guests are still taking about the magnificent rooms they stayed in! The new Garden Suite is beautiful and perfect for guests to mix and get to know each other when they arrive. The Ballroom is stunning with its views of Lough Eske and the new terrace is a perfect addition for guests to relax with a drink after the meal before the dancing begins! The scenery around Harvey's Point is breathtaking and a wedding photographer's dream. Finally, the icing on the cake is the one and only fabulous Noel Cunningham! Noel is a warm, friendly gentleman who genuinely cares about his guests and goes out of his way to do everything he can to make your wedding day the best day of your life. Harvey's Point never ceases to impress and their uniquely high standards are always maintained. I highly, highly recommend Harvey's Point for a wedding reception.

From our initial enquiry about viewing wedding packages to the big day itself our experience with Harvey's Point was second to none. Samantha, Joanne and Kathleen were so helpful throughout the whole planning process and really went out of their way to make everything so easy and stress free.

As for the wedding day, Robbie and I could not have dreamt for a more magical day. Everything ran so smoothly and any requests we had made were attended to with such professionalism. We are so grateful to all of the staff including Noel for their friendly treatment towards us and all of our guests, as well as their top quality service. The food was outstanding and our guests are still talking about how fabulous everything was including the stunning scenery and luxurious hotel rooms for those who stayed over. One of the memorable highlights of the day for everyone was the fireworks display and letting off air lanterns. Once again, the staff had already gone to great lengths to let off the floating water lilies which really set the scene prior to taking our guests outside for this surprise.

Robbie and I would highly recommend Harvey's Point to anyone... it ticks every box and will always be a special place for us. Having been regular guests we always knew we were going to be in safe, caring hands as far as our dream wedding day was concerned. We can't wait to make a return trip very soon!!

We got married in Harveys at the end of June and all we can say about Harvey's is wow! Harvey's Point was an absolutely sensational place for us to get married - top notch service provided in a down to earth and relaxed manner, one of the best decisions either of us will ever make!
The venue itself is amazing, beautiful scenery, both the ballroom and the conference centre where we had our ceremony are both beautiful settings.
However, it was the staff that really made the day so special. The attention to detail was incredible. As a very small example, I had mentioned months before in passing that I had a preferred beer as I cannot drink wine, and all throughout the day all the staff were aware of this and provided me with that particular beer that I had mentioned ages before, which was a lovely touch. There are many more examples of amazing small details like that - all the staff could not have been more helpful and were not just completely professional, but also were able to do it in a way that was down to earth and not stuffy - we and the attendees were made feel so relaxed throughout the day. Everybody who was at the wedding cannot stop talking about the day and in particular the venue, if I had a penny for the amount of times I have heard 'you can see why it wins best wedding venue in Ireland every year' since the wedding I would be a very rich man!
In relation to planning for the wedding, the two wedding reps who we dealt with, Samantha and Joanne, could not have been nicer, incredibly professional throughout but also very friendly and made us feel very welcome throughout the planning process and we are very grateful to them for making the planning so much easier.
In summary, we could not recommend Harveys Point enough. Both ourselves and the guests were blown away by how amazing the venue and the staff were, and we will always hold both in a special place in our heart as they helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

What can I say apart from we loved each and every minute here! We had our wedding at Harvey's Point on 19th April after staying (and proposing) here a few years back and both visits were fantastic. From when we first approached Harvey's about our wedding to the day itself the staff couldn't do enough. Special mention to Samantha who helped us to arrange most things. The venue, rooms, food and service were all exceptional and all of our guests commented the same. Some of them have already talked about a return visit. We were made to feel extremely welcome and some of the nice touches which stood out were a staff member waiting with champagne for us while pictures were being taken, the top table 'regimented' service, the platter of evening food left in our room for us the next day. I could go on and on. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Harvey's looking after us and our guests and making it the most specialist of days for me and my wife. We can't wait to return!

We got married in the wonderful Harvey's Point on December 28th, 2016 and couldn't have been happier with how the day went. We were one of the first couples to get married in their new Garden Suite and can we just say WOW! The entrance is so beautiful and you really do feel like royalty driving up to it on the big day!

From the day we started planning our wedding to finishing touches the night before, the pre-wedding service by Samantha and her team is impeccable. The staff worked holistically with any suppliers we had booked and we didn't even need to worry about it as the wonderful staff had taken care of all the arrangements.

On the big day, we were overjoyed with how the venue looked, it was magnificent and we really appreciate all the effort the team put in so we could have a wonderful day. The new bar in the Garden Suite with the lake views is something to behold and it was the perfect setting for our guests to enjoy their welcome beverages and pre-dinner entertainment.

The food was top-notch as expected and each and every one of our 150 guests commented on how impressed they were with the tasty dishes. Everything about the day was wonderful, they went above and beyond any expectations we ever had. Samantha and her team provided so many extra thoughtful touches on the wedding day (which we won't spoil for other B&G's, B&B's or G&G's!)

We'd like to thank the team once again for helping us make memories that will last a life time! If you are looking for a venue that is a show-stopper then we'd highly recommend you choose Harvey's Point! P.S the guest rooms are absolutely fantastic (classical music in the bathrooms fantastic!) as well as this, the honeymoon suite was twice the size of our two bedroom flat in North London!

We have just had our wedding in Harvey's Point on the 3rd of March 2017. From the moment we entered the gates two years prior to our wedding, We new straight away this was where we wanted our reception. From the drive in, to the actual hotel, it was just perfect.
So, I'm not sure where to begin with all those amazing people that work in Harvey's, but I think il start with Samantha, our wedding coordinator, 5star service from start to finish,one step ahead of us all the time,great person,easy to work with, talk to, made planning a wedding for 265 people a lot easier than I could imagine. I can't thank you enough Samantha you made our day.
Also,Joanne, that also helped us keep our nerve and kept everything ticking over nicely, kept us right when we weren't sure about certain things.Two wonderful lady's abusoule credit to their jobs.
Now our day!!!
PERFECT nothing went wrong nothing. We had family from England, Scotland,Canada and all different parts of Ireland attend our wedding, everyone of them said the same thing....best wedding we have ever been at. For this we thank you! The hotel, service, food, waiters,bartenders and one of the nicest people we have met Gavin! Gavin looked after us at the top table, actully he looked after the whole family and we all just loved him fantastic man that knows his job inside an out.

Thank you Harvey's Point we will remember 3/03/17 of the rest of our lives and by the sound of things so will everyone else. The Gallaghers

Once we viewed Harvey's Point we knew it was the perfect venue- everything is included in the package so there was nothing extra to worry about or to add so no hiddden costs and all very affordable. The setting on Lough Eske is stunning and the ballroom is gorgeous with a nice top table, lower dancefloor with tables all around and huge bar area. I knew HP had a huge reputation for outstanding food and this was the main feedback after the wedding- it was just amazing. We had 2 courses served and then the 'dessert bar' - basically a room full of desserts which guests can select and basically have whatever they want!

The staff also made the wedding, they really couldn't do enough and they throw in a few surprises which I won't spoil for any future couples. The rooms you stay in are huge, luxurious and a real treat- and that is for the guests too. The different layers of the room (slightly sunken dancefloor) meant that the room will never look to bare or too packed and only 1 table had to be moved from the dancefloor meaning minimal disruption to guests.

While every couple knows it can rain on their wedding day, we could never have planned for how much it actually did rain (Storm Abigail). Little did I know that our venue turned out to be the perfect option for this situation-there are so many alcoves & areas to take images and outdoor walkways that are actually covered but looked like we were outside. This was a lifesaver for us and our photographer as we still had loads of options despite the torrential rain. The guests hardly noticed as they were cosy in the bar beside a roaring fire and drinks.

I couldn't recommend Harvey's Point enough, it is a little bit of heaven in Donegal (we traveled from Tyrone/Leitrim), the staff make it all so easily, high food reputation and lots of extra touches meaning you really don't have to worry about anything!

We got married in Harveys Point in early November and could not have been happier with how the day went. We were the first couple to get married in their new wedding room which was beautifully kitted out and everything was taken care of by the very helpful staff.

The gorgeous location was perfect for both photos and also for our guests to enjoy their drinks. The food was first class but what sets Harveys apart is the service - Samantha, Christie, Gavin and all of the staff saw to every detail and were able to accommodate any request. All of our guests commented on how the high quality of service made the day so relaxed and enjoyable.

Thanks again for all the hard work that you put in to help make our day a special one.

P.s. the rooms are fantastic as well, the honeymoon suite was twice the size of my 2 bedroom flat in London!

We celebrated our wedding at Harvey's Point on 30th October 2016 and to say we were blown away is an understatement.
Samantha and her Team are amazing...We live in Australia, and organised everything via email, Samantha was at the end of every silly question that we had and made us feel so special and it felt like Our wedding was the only one she had, although I know she was fully booked with others.
The food, the service , the setting, the view and not to mention the rooms! Amazing. We Still have family and friends commenting on the wedding, wishing that they could go back. I cant give Harvey's Point a high enough rating... 11/10

Thanks so much for everything.

Lisa & Stephen Coyne

We just got married at Harvey's last week. We had the best day of our lives. It surpassed both of expectations. Samantha, Kathleen and the whole team at Harvey's are what really make it the best wedding venue. From the moment we booked, they were always on hand and said "yes" and had a "can do" attitude, responding to any query/email nearly instantly. They were committed to making our wedding day extra special. On the day itself, the team worked together seamlessly. We highly recommend Harvey's! Our guests were all raving about every detail...the food, the setting, the staff, the rooms. We just wish we could do it all over again. We will certainly be back regularly to avail of the warm Donegal hospitality that always awaits. Thank you from both of us. You are amazing at what you do! Mary-Jo & Adam Lowe

We had the most amazing magical wedding in Harveys Point on 25th August. 5 stars does not fully represent the overall experience of this wonderful hotel. Our guests absolutely raved about the entire day from start to finish, the friendliness and warmth of every single member of staff, the service the food the location and of course the rooms. Wow! We were so lucky to have chosen Harveys for our wedding ceremony and reception and cannot say enough about everyone there, in particular Samantha who is an absolute star in so many ways. We were so blessed to have our dream outdoor ceremony in the garden which was the most perfect setting by the lake. Deirdre and Noel were very visible over the few days and mingled mixed and conversed with everyone. A great sign of a happy staff and successful hotel is the hands-on approach of the owners/Managers and this reflects so very well in how happy all the staff were. Massive thank you to Mikolas & Glen for their undivided attention throughout the day. We did not want the day to end and I actually cried leaving a few days later as we really did have the best best day of our lives. Thank you so much to all the team. Anyone who is considering getting married, I can only say you will regret not checking out Harveys as the perfect Location. As my Dad said in his speech 'tis no wonder it's the no.1 Hotel in Ireland'! Thank you so so much for giving us the most perfect memorable Wedding Day. Noreen & Frankie.xx

Our daughter got married and we had our reception in Harvey's Point on 2nd August and it totally exceeded our expectations. Firstly the rooms are fantastic, they are so spacious that they become a feature of the event with many guests asking for a tour! Secondly, the ballroom is a great venue with stunning views and a good dance floor. Thirdly, the service is first class. In particular their wedding planner ( Samantha in our case) will look after you and all your needs. This includes any special arrangements for the big day and extends to giving advice on local services available - which we used. I can also commend the food and the facilities for the photographs.
I can only give you an honest view of our experience and we simply had one of the best days of our lives there and had so many positive comments from our guests. I can thoroughly recommend it and am sure you will have the same fantastic experience as ourselves. Best wishes for a great day!

We got married at Harvey’s Point on May 30th 2016 and had the most perfect day! From the first time we went to look at the venue right up until the big day, Samantha and the team at Harvey’s went out of their way to ensure our experience was first class.

On the day, the food , drinks and service were just brilliant. All of the guests commented on the beautiful setting, the delicious food and how welcoming and friendly all of the staff were. After returning home, several of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended!

We honestly don’t believe there is anywhere else in the world we would have had such an amazing experience and we are so thankful to you all for making it such a special day for us, our family and friends. We are already looking forward to returning for our 1st wedding anniversary next year!

Thank you so much for giving us a wedding day we will never forget, Katherine & Gary xx

We had our wedding reception in Harvey's Point on May 7th and it's nearly impossible to put in to words how impressed we were with everything. At every stage of the way, Samantha and all at Harvey's Point were beyond accommodating and nothing was too much for them. I wish I could persuade every bride and groom to get married here! It really was everything we had ever wished for and more. Lots of our guests said they would have to pay a return visit to the hotel and that's just indicative of the wonderful service that all the staff provided. Thank you Samantha, Noel and everyone else at Harvey's Point....you're an absolute credit to the hotel and we're so grateful for everything

Myself and Emma just wanted to thank Heide and everyone at Harvey's Point for what was the best day of our lives.
From the initial inquiries to the day itself our dealings with you and your staff were of the highest standard. You made us feel extremely relaxed and at ease throughout the entire process and the attention to detail that your staff applied to every facet of the occasion was simply brilliant. The food is still discussed amongst our guests as the best they had eaten. Emma's 90 year old grandmother fondly tells of how she was escorted to her room by a member of staff, when she decided it was time for bed, only to be greeted by tea and scones. Having planned a fireworks display, cancelled due to bad weather, you took the burden of the phone call out of our hands to allow us focus on our day! We really appreciate the effort you all went to on the day and the lead up to it to give us both a wedding experience we will never forget. We are extremely grateful! The only thing you couldn't do was make the rain stop!! We have forgiven you for this!!

Many many thanks Heidi, to you and the staff at Harvey's Point, for a truly memorable day.

We got married in Harvey’s Point at christmas on the 18th of 2015 and it was truly magical. If you know anything about Harvey’s or have visited before you’re going to expect top class service and that's exactly what we got. Our guests are still talking about the quality of the rooms, food and the service received and of course the fantasic scenery around the hotel. We had our photo's at the hotel because of the scenery. Samantha is a joy to organise & plan with and was very helpful from the tasteing to accommodating us with whatever requests we had. We have stayed at the hotel on many occasions before and can honestly say the service is always top notch and nothing about our time here could be faulted and we would highly recommend Harvey's to anyone thinking on booking there special day here.

Where do I begin? The level of service my husband and I received from this hotel was above and beyond anything that I have ever experienced before. My husband proposed just before I entered my final year of my Medical degree and as we live in Scotland I wanted to return to Ireland to get married. We knew we wanted to do it within the year so I was faced with studying for finals and organising a wedding! I have to honestly say that the team at Harvey's Point, especially Heide and Samantha went to great lengths to ensure that everything went smoothly for us. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did. Throughout the whole planning I had one minor setback and the team took care of it so I did not have to worry. The whole process was stress free. We were given information of suppliers and they were always there to answer any questions we had. They provided such an individualised service that it made our wedding day so special and made us feel like we were their only clients. From the outset we knew we wanted to have the hotel as our venue as my husband and I stayed there a few times over the years and loved the place. Staff are friendly, the rooms are stunning and the food is to die for! It's a treat to spend a night there so I knew that this was the place for my wedding. I have been to other wedding venues and no where compares to here. Everyone of our guests could not compliment the place enough. They loved the food and wine and could not believe their rooms were so luxurious. I would strongly recommend any couples to seriously consider Harvey's Point as their number one choice; as you will not be disappointed with the service that is provided by them. Their wedding package is excellent value for money and I can guarantee that they will make your day one you will never forget. We cannot wait to go back! Thank you to everyone at Harvey's point for making our wedding day a truly memorable one.

Myself and my husband got married on 21st August 2015 and had our reception at Harvey’s Point. We booked our wedding just over a year before and living in Australia, could have made things a bit difficult but not with the staff at Harvey’s. Both Heide and Samantha were at the end of the emails any time we needed them.

The day itself went great. We were greeted on arrival by Samantha, Noel and other staff with champagne and they took us to see the ball room and our cake table. We spent the next hour or so taking pictures by the lake and in the gardens and we were so fortunate to be able to have all our friends and family around us when we were taking pictures. The sun came out in bursts and everyone was out on the outdoor terrace enjoying the drinks reception.

The service at the top table was absolutely amazing. We had our own staff basically to tend to every need and to be honest made us feel like royalty! We had our food served to the table and they kept coming around with seconds. I sampled absolutely everything and the food was amazing. In between courses we mingled with our guests which I loved as I wanted to thank everyone for coming and as we are living overseas hadn’t seen some people in years so it was very special.

The bridal suite was by far the most amazing room I have ever stayed in. It all felt so luxurious and grand and we couldn’t have been happier. We stayed the night after the wedding also and invited our families up for champagne which was great. We actually conducted tours of the room to family and friends as we were so impressed!

To all the staff at Harvey’s thank you so, so much for giving us such an amazing, fabulous day that we will never forget. We can’t thank Samantha and Heide enough for their professionalism and all of their help during the preparation of our wedding. It made it so much easier living on the other side of the world to know that they had everything under control and organised to perfection.

We would highly recommend Harvey’s Point to anyone considering having their wedding there. Its set in a beautiful waterside location, surrounded by mountains. On our wedding day, we were lucky and had beautiful weather, our guests were able to avail of the outside patio and enjoy the drinks reception. We’ve also been there when the weather is not as good and its surrounds are still dramatic, while inside, open log fires make the hotel cozy and welcoming. The function rooms are spacious and inviting, with large windows looking out at the fantastic views from the hotel.

The bedrooms in the hotel are beautiful, finished to a very high standard and feel very luxurious. When booking your bedrooms remember to agree the amount of rooms and room rates for both family allocation and other guests rooms in advance. Tell guests who are not on the family allocation to book the guest rate early as for us the bedrooms booked up fast.

Harvey’s Point is well known for its fabulous food and both our meal and evening buffet were great. The desert buffet is a must have! We received overwhelming positive comments from our guests on the food, and this continued throughout their stay. The staff were really nice and the service was excellent. Each member of staff were extremely professional and courteous, and made the atmosphere even more welcoming and friendly for our guests; exactly what we wanted. In particular, Heidi our wedding coordinator in Harvey’s was fantastic, she was easy to work with, flexible and helpful. All the staff at the hotel really made an effort to make the day the best it can be. We wouldn’t have any negative comments at all. It really is a special hotel!

28th August 2015, was unquestionably the best day of our lives and opting with Harvey’s Point was one of the reasons our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic and we could not rate this venue high enough.
We had always heard of Harvey’s Point and their established reputation for delivering excellence, so choosing our wedding venue after our initial visit was not a difficult decision.

It is actually not possible to put into words how amazing this wedding venue is. The staff are warm and friendly and could not do enough for us and our guests. The food is exceptional. Accommodation is luxurious. The natural surroundings are stunning.

My husband and I attend alot of weddings every year and I can honestly say that no venue has yet to compare to Harvey’s Point, this is also the consensus among friends and family. They still talk about our Wedding Day and they too describe Harvey’s Point as the best wedding venue ever.

We want to thank the whole team for making our wedding day so special. In particular we would like to thank Smanatha and Heidi for their advice, patience and care, we are truly grateful & so glad we choose Harvey’s Point.

Orla and I had our wedding reception at Harveys Point on Saturday November 7th 2015.

I have been to a family wedding at Harveys Point before so my expectations were already very high. Not only were these expectations met,they were surpassed which I did not think would be possible.

The wedding co-ordinator Samantha and her team did an excellent job. The way Harveys do the little touches I have not seen bettered at any other wedding venue. The entrance for the bridal party, the service of the food to the top table and the food itself was phenomenal.

We went for the buffet option which I have not seen done at any other wedding venue. The starters range from garlic bread to oysters with everything in between. You don't have to worry about your guests who are picky eaters as no matter what your pallet is,you will be in food heaven.

All of our guests had an amazing time. Any guests who stayed in the hotel (which I would highly recommend) could not get over the size of the rooms.

It's hard to find a fault in anything that Harveys Point did. I can't see how anybody would be disappointed with Harveys as a wedding venue. The grounds itself also make for breathtaking photos.

The layout of the ball room certainly adds to the occasion. The sunk dance floor makes it hard to leave the dance floor while having the bar in the room means that the party does not get split up.

Thank you again for a wonderful day and I look forward to visiting Harveys Point many more times.

We really cannot recommend Harvey's Point enough to anyone who is thinking about a venue. Everything about the place is just fab, especially the staff. All 200 of our guests remarked how every member of staff made them feel like they were the most important person there and no request was too much trouble, they really are amazing!!
We are based in London, and as such we needed a lot of help to organise things remotely and the hotel were simply superb, nothing was too much trouble for Heide, Samantha and the team. Every recommendation they gave us for outside suppliers was great, especially the flowers and photo booth!
We had an absolute ball on our wedding day, because we didnt have to think or worry about anything, the hotel staff just took care of everything for us, and dont even get us started on the food, it is to die for.
When you are organising your wedding, you concentrate on the big ticket items and sort the smaller things at the end, but with Harvey's they not only sort out the things you want they also throw in a load of little tiny extra touches that really do help to make you feel special and we cannot get back there for another stay, as they are simply superb!

Thank you to all the team and staff at Harvey's Point for sharing in our wedding day, and the preparations for it, with us. We loved working with your wedding team and hotel staff and truly felt that you all helped make our wedding day one of the best and most memorable of our lives. From the wedding organisation over the phone, email and a few face to face when we were in the Ireland, to the ceremony, the unbelievably fantastic food, the friendly and helpful staff, the beautiful rooms and the attention to detail. But most of all the friendliness, smiles and true caring that you all took to help make our wedding day a truly special day for us, our families and friends. All our guests were impressed by the hotel, staff and the food. In particular we would like to thank Heide, Samantha, Sara, Noel, the chefs, serving staff, bar staff, reception staff, housekeeping staff and the Gysling family for making Harvey's Point one of the best hotels in the world whilst never losing that Donegal friendliness and caring. We look forward to staying with you again.
Best regards
Katherine Thompson & Shawn Adams

My husband and I cannot be happier with Harvey's Point Hotel. From the very first day I contacted the hotel to reserve a date to after our wedding, the service from Samantha and Heidi has been simply amazing. Arranging a wedding can be hard work and we arranged ours from Australia which made things a little harder. The team at Harvey's Point were so helpful, they answered my endless queries in a prompt, professional and friendly manner. Their assistance allowed me to relax and not stress about whether things would be the way we wanted them to be. We had friends and family stay at Harvey's Point prior to and on the night of the wedding and they are all still talking about how beautiful the hotel is and how amazing the service is. The wedding day itself ran perfectly, there were no issues, nothing went wrong and we had so much fun. The food is outstanding and we are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Harvey's Point, we have no doubt that it wouldn't have been the same if we had chosen somewhere else. We can't thank the team enough and are looking forward to visiting soon :) Thanks again for everything. Kerry and Marty Mc Namee :)

Got married in Harvey's Point 28/05/15. We knew the place was exceptional from trying there Sunday Carvery and trial menu for our wedding. honestly it exceeded every expectation either of us had not only is it a great venue the staff from receptionist, managers, wedding coordinators , room cleaners, the goose :0 were great. not enough can be said about this place. I can not wait to go back. A well traveled guest at our wedding who travels with work and stayed in alot of hotels from Dubai, Australlia , Africa and all over the world said he had never seen rooms like it in an hotel and food. You will not be disappointed with this place go book your wedding here and invite me too!! The wedding team are class to will make u feel very comfortable and explain everything. No confusing pricing packages what you see is what you pay for which i liked seem to be alot of hidden extras with other venues.

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!!!
We had out wedding in Harvey's Point on the 4th of September this year.
From the initial consultations with the absolutely wonderful Heide, to leaving when the celebrations were over, not a single detail was overlooked. Our Harvey's Point wedding experience was fantastic! No request was impossible and no question too silly - we were treated in an utmost professional manner by the entire Harvey's Point staff. (My husband was even allowed to exhibit his motorbike collection inside the main reception door!!)
I had never been to a wedding in Harvey's before and most of our guests were travelling from afar. The consensus was that it was the best hotel that any of them had ever stayed in.
So.. The wedding day...where to start!
Greeted by Noel at the door and walking on clouds for the day!! The ballroom was amazing - we didn't hire any extra decor for the room and now I am glad we didn't - the minute detail was taken care of by Heide and the team - right down to them matching the flowers on the tables to the flowers in the bouquets... It really was phenomenal!
The food... Amazing! And that was not just the report from the top table! Everybody was well fed and the famous apple and parsnip soup went down a treat (guests are still talking about it!!)
The service... Well I just won't say too much here! The night was full of surprises- good ones! And the service was impeccable!
We partied all night!
In summary...
Best day ever, best night ever and best wedding ever!!! (I know, a bit biased here!!) Thank you Harveys Point for the most memorable day for Joey and I and our guests too!!
Now we know what everyone was talking about when they say "you can't go wrong with Harvey's"!

We got married on 18th July 2015 in Harvey's point and had the most wonderful day. We cannot put into words how incredible the staff were. Nothing was a problem and they were the most naturally friendly and hospitable team we could have wished for. They made us feel so comfortable and the day went incredibly smoothly because of them.

The hotel itself was beautiful by the lake and the grounds were immaculate. We were welcomed to the hotel so enthusiastically and we were never rushed to do anything whatsoever throughout the day.

The wedding meal was outstanding. Very high quality and the management of the meal was superb. So many of our guests commented to us about the quality of the food and especially the starter and dessert selection.

Working with the hotel for quite some time before the wedding day was a pleasure. Each and every time we met the hotel they couldn't do enough for us and anything that we requested was not a problem.

A fantastic hotel, incredibly friendly staff, beautiful location and outstanding food. Couldn't have asked for any more.

Harvey's Point was the perfect venue for our wedding!

The location, the scenery, the food and the staff were all first class. The best thing about the hotel is that they make your day as stress free as possible, nothing is too much trouble and they will go to great lengths to ensure the day goes exactly as you want.

Heide, Sara, Samantha and all the staff couldn't do enough for us and we really appreciated everything they did for us. Harvey's Point is famous for their food, and it will not disappoint! The buffett dessert was especially popular amongst our guests!

We could not fault anything about the hotel and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks to all at Harvey's!!

We were married at Harvey's Point in September 2015. During the year and half leading up to the special day, Harvey's were with us every step of the way. Samantha, Heidi and the team were very helpful in planning our big day. Our guests were amazed with how well run and welcoming the venue was. The views are breath taking, atmosphere magic and attention to detail second to none. The managment always go out of their way to meet you personaly. The ballroom is both regal and charming with its outstanding chandeliers and decor. We were so glad we chose this for our wedding day. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and visited over 20 other venues before settling for this magic place! See you for our anniversary

Choosing where to host our big day wasn't a difficult decision. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Harvey's Point had an established reputation for delivering an excellent service with high quality food and drink. Not forgetting the stunning surroundings and friendly staff members.

Shortly after our engagement Karol and I went to a wedding fair in Harvey's Point and it was there that we met with Samantha our Wedding Organiser and she helped us pick the date, 6th June 2015.
Samantha was fantastic to work with as she made the planning of wedding effortless with her extensive knowledge and experience. She was friendly, approachable and nothing was a problem. Sitting talking to Samantha it felt like we had known her a lifetime and myself and Karol were really pleased and delighted that we were in capable and safe hands which lifted a lot of weight of our shoulders. We had planned our wedding over two years and met with Samantha a handful of times to catchup and go over a few things. Everything was more or less taken care of by Samantha as she had carefully taken onboard all of our needs and wants. Heide was more than accomodating and a pleasure to work with as she also helped us out greatly also.

The day of the wedding was amazing as Harvey's Point delivered a flawless service and the preparation and hardwork of all the staff was overwhelming. We couldn't believe how wonderful everything was. It was just as we had wanted and we hadn't exactly made it entirely easy for Samantha as we had left things until the night before i.e. centrepieces and song choices. Again, Samathan and Heide took everything in their stride and we were astonished at the effort and planning they had put into our special day. My guests and family are still talking about Harvey's Point and many have been back since. Karol and I couldn't have dreamt for a better day. :-)

Where to begin...
We were absolutely captivated with this stunning hotel and wonderful staff from the minute we stepped foot in it when we were researching possible locations. We were superbly looked after from the very outset and made to feel like the only couple to get married in the venue which is a serious accomplishment as the hotel is so busy with weddings. They made what must be an everyday occurrence for them, an absolutely unforgettable experience. Guests at the wedding, to this day, recall memories of the service and the food (oh my goodness, delicious!). I cried (this never happens I promise) leaving the premises when all was over as the whole experience was so utterly magical. Harvey's and their wonderful team look after every little detail and add so many elements to enhance your day that are just wonderful and exquisitely executed to give your special day that extra bit of sparkle (I am reluctant to describe them as I feel that I would be erroneous to reveal the experience for any other couple). Suffice to say that we had the most amazing day of our lives, and our twin girls are still to this day talking about the day we all got married in Harvey's! :) They must be the only 6 year olds who know where they will have their receptions when/if they marry in the future. A very well done to Harvey's on their impeccable style and service and we cannot wait to return.

My new hubby and I have not stopped talking about Harvey's Point since our dream wedding on Monday 24th August 2015. Coming from London, we were both completely blown away by the stunning views of Lough Eske when we were looking for a suitable venue to hold our reception. The beautiful scenery, coupled with the warm and friendly staff - in particular Samantha who showed us around - meant we just had to book (nothing else came remotely close). I needn't have worried about organising a wedding the other side of the Irish Sea, as Samantha and Heide were always so helpful and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I felt reassured the whole time. Many of our guests stayed at Harvey's and all of them were blown away by the spacious rooms and exquisite food. Many of them commented that it was the "nicest hotel" they've ever stayed in. As for the wedding day itself, Harvey's exceeded all expectations. Everything ran seamlessly, the food was heavenly and the pair of us could soak up everything going on around us because the friendly, helpful staff took care of absolutely everything. There were so many amazing surprises along the way (which I won't spoil for future bride and grooms) but these additional touches made our day incredible and unforgettable. Our honeymoon suite was HUGE and so comfortable and spacious for myself and the bridesmaids to get ready in the morning. The Gysling family, Noel and his team should be exceptionally proud of this world class establishment and we cannot wait to return on our anniversary. Thank you again for everything! The new Mr & Mrs Paton

We had our wedding at Harvey’s Point on 15th November 2014. We had an absolutely brilliant day as did our guests – with thanks to all the members of the team there but especially Samantha, Heide and Sara who looked after us all so well both on the day and in the run up to the wedding. Also thanks to Annmarie who helped us with initial reservations. They are so professional and took a lot of potential stress out of the organising. Everything about the day there was fantastic -the welcome as we arrived, the beautiful room set up, amazing quality (and quantity) of food, excellent service and compering from the charismatic Noel Cunningham. Aside from a stunning location and property, everyone we came into contact with was so friendly and helpful. The honeymoon suite was fabulous – we were sorry we didn’t have more time in it!! Breakfast the next day was better than we have had in some five star hotels. They go the extra mile at Harvey’s Point – small example but the night before the wedding my husband was staying there and they arranged food for him after the kitchen had closed – things like that you remember and it makes a difference! We would recommend a stay here for a wedding or otherwise and are looking forward to revisiting ourselves very soon!!

From the moment we contacted Harvey's Point to enquire about the venue till the day of the wedding itself we couldn't have been happier with the fantastic service, organisation and help provided by the hotel.

Special thanks must be given to Jodi and Renata, the owners, who helped us with the food and wine selection and to celebrate our big day through to Heide and Samantha, who made the organisation ridiculously easy and stress free to the point I was nervous about how relaxed I was!!!

I cannot recommend this hotel enough as a fantastic place to get married! The food, the service, the staff, the atmosphere and the attention to detail were all first class and if I could I would give them 6 stars!

Naoimh & Pablo

I don’t know if it is possible to put into words how amazing every aspect of this wedding venue is. From when we first visited the hotel to consider it for a potential venue until we checked out the day after the wedding it was nothing short of perfect.
Sarah, Samantha and Heidi made each step in the run up to the day easy and they made sure that they answered all our queries, even those not directly related to the wedding function. Their experience, professionalise and personal touch meant our day was everything that we had wanted and more.
The day of the wedding was undoubtedly the best day of our life to date and we know that the finishing touch was this hidden gem. Everything that was pre planned had been laid out as we imaged, the schedule ran smoothly, the service was first class and the food was outstanding.
This hotel is a little piece of heaven and we could not recommend it more highly to anyone looking for the perfect venue. It ticks all the boxes for what every couple want on their wedding day and we look forward to visiting every year for our anniversary.

As locals, we've been fortunate to experience wedding functions at Harvey's Point as guests throughout the years. When it came to our own wedding, we were already fans of the venue. But what we experienced as the bride and groom elevated our opinion of the hotel even more.

The location of Harvey's Point is tranquil. But aside from its stunning views, it is what's inside that really impresses. Harvey's Point know how to host the perfect wedding, it's that simple. After our first wedding planning meeting with Samantha McNulty, we were both enamoured with her attitude, understanding, flexibility and the advice she imparted to us.

Their buffet wedding spread is undoubtedly one of their unique selling points for the food lovers out there. We have been to a great deal of weddings, not just in Ireland, but abroad. Nowhere have we experienced the quality of food available to our guests. Even breakfast was a treat for those who stayed on the night of the wedding!

We had a lot of guests that travelled from all parts of the world to celebrate our wedding, and to this day they still compliment the amazing spread of food on offer, and the luxurious accommodation they enjoyed. All Harvey’s rooms are ‘suites’, and far exceeded the expectations of even the most well travelled of our guests.

We highly recommend Harvey's Point as a wedding venue - it will not disappoint.

We had our wedding in Harvey's Point in September. It was a dream day in a dream location. The entire staff team, especially the wedding coordinators were extremely helpful and welcoming to Eoin and myself during the planning of the reception over the months leading up to the wedding. Every question and query was dealt with so quickly and professionally there was no room for stress in the lead up to the wedding.
On the wedding day itself the attention to detail from the staff was fantastic, the food was amazing (our guests are still talking about the variety and quality), the rooms throughout were beautiful and everything ran so smoothly it made our day really relaxed and truly special. Our wedding suite was amazing. Sometimes it is the little things which matter most and they seemed to have them all. Although we were blessed with the weather, you couldn't ask for better scenery for photographs.

In short we are lost for words, it's been difficult to put into words how happy we both are that we picked Harvey's Point as our wedding venue. We can't recommend it enough.

My wife and I got married at Harvey's Point in February this year. It was a small intimate affair but the effort our wedding co-ordinators Sarah and Samantha put in for us we could have had 200 people at the wedding. As a small wedding of only 14 people including ourselves we got married in the hotels reading room. The room was so tastefully decorated with flowers and covered chairs. After our ceremony we moved to Harveys Bar for a drinks reception where our favourite barman Christopher served champagne to our family and friends. We had hired Adrian Cullen, a Dean Martin tribute singer for the ceremony and the drinks reception. He was a huge hit with all who where in the bar and the atmosphere was amazing. Our reception was held in the fine dining restaurant. We were set aside in a small room that over looked the main restaurant. It was perfect. We had our privacy but yet felt part of the 5 star experience that we have come to love at Harveys Point. We were treated like royalty and served by the maitre'd himself, Orhan Erinc and the wonderful Nancy. With such a small gathering we still had quite a few special food requests which were tended to with the utmost professionalism. We cannot recommend Harveys Point highly enough for your wedding. Harveys Point is set in the most beautiful, picturesque and peaceful setting, being overlooked by the Blue Stack Mountains. So whatever your requirements are you will not be disappointed.

We had our wedding at Harvey's Point in September and had the most amazing memorable day. In the lead up to the wedding we felt very reassured in planning our day from London with our brilliant wedding coordinators and on the day itself we felt very relaxed and well looked after. The location is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is brilliant. At Harvey's Point they manage to perfectly combine professional luxury and a warm welcoming environment. Even though we had originally been planning to have our ceremony out on the pier and had to change plans that morning due to the unpredictable Irish weather, the staff did an excellent job of creating a beautiful atmosphere in the Garden Suite marquee for our ceremony. Everyone who attended had a very enjoyable day and it was great that we were able to have both our ceremony and reception there so that our guests were all able to stay in the one place for the day. It was the perfect venue to celebrate our wedding with all our friends and family. We would definitely recommend Harvey's Point as a wedding venue and are looking forward to returning there for a visit to celebrate our one-year anniversary!

Myself and my husband Cathair, were married at Harvey's Point, on the 22nd March 2014.
We both emigrated to Australia in 2009, and once we were engaged, there was only one hotel which we wanted to have our wedding in, and it was everything we wished for and more.
The initial thought of organising a wedding with a 12 hour time difference was daunting, but once we met Sara and Samantha, the wedding co-ordinators at Harvey's point, our minds were quickly put at ease.
Sara and Samantha are complete professionals, and without a doubt made our wedding day exceptional. Nothing was a problem for either of them. Anything we requested or wanted, they helped us get it.
As a special request, we wanted some Australian beer, so our guests could enjoy. Harvey's Point were only too happy to help us organise this, and our guest's just thought this was amazing.
Everything about this hotel is just Fab. All the hotel staff were just amazing on the day. No matter who it was, we were greeted so warmly and treated so well.
The food on our wedding day, was top class, and if you have never been at a wedding here,the food alone and the service is something everyone should experience.
The Honeymoon suite is unbelievable - honestly one of the best hotel suites I have seen in any country. The grounds of the hotel made for fantastic wedding photographs, and it was the only place we wanted to have them on the day.
I am so privileged that this beautiful hotel is in my native Donegal, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for something special for your wedding day.
We can't wait to go home and enjoy another stay here.
Thank you Harvey's Point and your wonderful staff for making our wedding day so memorable and amazing.
Ciara & Cathair Kerr :)

My self and my wife got married in Harvey`s Point on the 4th of July. All i can say is it was the most wonderful experience we could have wished for. After hearing stories of weddings being a very stressful thing to organise we did approach ours with a certain amount of apprehension. As it turned out there were no reasons for feeling this way as from the minute we walked into Harvey`s Point we knew we had come to the right place. We meat with Samantha and Heidi and i can honestly say from day one they were a pleasure to deal with. They obviously deal with many weddings at Harvey`s but they treated us and made us feel like we where the only couple in the world getting married. I really do not understand why people say organising a wedding is stressful for the couple as Samantha and Heidi made the lead up to our wedding the easiest thing in the world. They were both so calm and reassuring throughout the whole event. It goes without saying that Harvey`s Point is a stunning hotel and the accomodation is the best i have stayed in anywhere in the world, the bridal suite has to be seen to be believed. But what Harvey`s has that takes it too a different level is its staff. They are so professional and yet so accomadating and friendly they really do make you feel like you are home. It was a real pleasure to see them make not only us feel special on our wedding day but also make our guests feel so relaxed and welcome. Since our wedding we have had many guests contact us and compliment us on what a great day it was. I know many guests who had not been to Harvey`s before have booked to return and stay and enjoy the experience only Harvey`s Point can give. I would also like to compliment Harvey`s on the meal that was provided , the food was amazing , on time and piping hot for all guests. I would like to thank Sarah who ran the show on the day , and what a show it is, carried out with military precission and finishing off with a little sparkle. Thank you Harvey`s,exceptional.

We had our wedding in Harvey's in September. How fortunate we were to choose Harvey's Point!! We'd planned the day for over a year, but from the very moment we visited the place and met with Samantha and Heide (Wedding Co-ordinators) we just knew we'd made the correct decision. They helped us with all our preparations, pointed us in the right direction for assistance and basically allayed all our fears that the day would go anything other than smoothly. Needless to say it did. We were blessed with good weather, which for the time of year was a bonus. From the moment we arrived at the venue we were swept into the arms of the Samantha and her team and they brought us through every aspect of the day with a calmness that calmed us..!! The banquet suite was magnificent, like something out of a fairytale....it looked stunning. All our guests were treated like royalty right from the moment they set foot in Harvey's. Our MC for the day - Noel was a treat. What a guy. Before the meal he got everyone into a celebratory mood and the way the wedding party entered and were greeted on the day was amazing. As for the meal, well I could go on, but it was simply the BEST wedding service we'd ever witnessed. Naturally we were catered for at the top table very well, but you wouldn't believe the number of guests who commented on the quality of the meal. The selction of starters & desserts provided left everyone astonished (and definitely not hungry!) Looking back, and being honest about this, there is not a single fault or blemish on the day in Harvey's Point. We could not praise the venue or staff highly enough. They were magnificent. It is a beautiful setting with the lough on hand, perfect for photos. The meal & the wine were sumptuous. The accomodation is wonderous (rooms are massive!) and the staff were an asset too, not only did they deliver a great service, but they joined in the celebrations too! 5 stars is simply not enough to rate Harvey's Point. It deserves an 8 (at least)!!

Myself and my wife Lisa were married at Harveys Point on the 31st of May 2014 (A day we will never forget). Not only did the day go to plan, but exceeded all expectations!

Normally when people discuss a wedding, they always refer to the wedding day, but for us it was the entire experience of booking with harveys point. We booked with Sara and Samantha, and for day one, anything asked of them, they delivered. Absolutely incredible wedding co-ordinators.

From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were treated like royalty. Staff were extremely helpful and never showed signs of frustration or annoyance, regardless of what was asked of them. They were professional in all aspects of there Job.

We were lucky enough to get good weather on the day of the wedding, so the grounds of the hotel were exceptional. Our photographer (having been to Harveys before) did not want us stopping anywhere along the way for photos, he wanted to make the most of Harveys grounds and Bridal Suite. Needless to say, the photos were fantastic.

The Bridal suite was unbelievable. A large four poster bed and a room that could pass for a small house. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer than the one night.

The food on the day was fantastic and the service was second to none. We had alot of our guests telling us about the hotel, its normally the first thing the mention about the wedding.
There was not one aspect of our wedding day that we would change. It is true what they say about never forgetting your special day, and for us, Harveys point played a massive part.

Best day of my like, not only did i marry my beautiful wife Lisa, but also had the dream wedding in the dream location.

We celebrated our wedding at Harvey's Point in July this year. Both the ceremony and the reception were held there. We had stayed before at the hotel and given the excellent quality of those experiences, we were confident that we were leaving the responsibilty for the day in good hands and our expectations were fairly high. However, nothing could prepare us for the quality of care and attention that we received, it far exceeded anything we could've imagined. From the start, in all of our dealings with Samantha and her team and in the preparations for the day, we were treated in a first-class fashion. No request, no query, was a problem and the attention to detail was fantastic. In the build up to the day Samantha brought us through all the preparations and accomodated any request made. On the day, the room for the ceremony was prepared and presented exquisitely. After the ceremony the guests were attended to superbly and able to relax in the surrounds of the oval bar. Then it was on to the meal. Again the room was beautifully prepared. The MC, Noel, set the tone for the party at this point with his wonderful introductions which got everyone up on their feet again. We were all treated to a fantastic meal. The food at Harvey's was always fantastic, but I can tell you that the food at a wedding there is equally as good. The quality and range offered was amazing. Our guests were very keen to tell us this. From the soup, through the multitude of starters to the main meal (which was superb) and on to the collection of desserts. Though lots of guests failed to make it through to the desserts, simply having no room for them...!! Afterwards the room was then transformed seemlessly for the dancing, without anyone practically noticing. There were lots of little surprises along the way, which I'll not disclose so as not to ruin it for any future couples, but everyone in the room was treated fantastically throughout the day. We always knew the setting was superb. Our guests who stayed overnight and had not been to Harvey's before, were amazed at the size and quality of the rooms. It is an idyllic spot and is a place that always reflects calm and contentment, but let me tell you Harvey's can also do party and celebration. From the off, Samantha and Noel were able to engage with our guests in a way that generated an atmosphere of celebration which continued throughout the day. They were perfect hosts, not in a superficial manner either. Noel greeted guests on arrival, engaged throughout the day with everyone and was even present at breakfast the next morning to catch up again!! Samantha too was on hand to attend to any need of the wedding party and was able to keep us right on what was happening and when. In fact all of the staff at Harvey's deserve tremendous credit. They have that knack of being there when you need them but otherwise they totally blend into the background. It is genuinely hard to truly put into words how superb Harvey's Point was for a celebration such as this. Everything (and I mean everything) ran like clockwork. They take the stress out of the day that is for sure. Simply put, they are masters of their art. We cannot thank enough Samantha and all her team, Noel and his team, indeed all at Harvey's Point for hosting our day in such a five-star fashion. Is there is a better hotel in Ireland? I seriously doubt it. If anyone is considering booking Harvey's for their wedding - our advice - DO IT..!! You will not be disappointed. Sean and Rhonda.

We had our civil ceremony and reception in Harveys Point Hotel in Lough Eske last year. I can not recommend Harveys Point Hotel highly enough. The civil ceremony room is so relaxed and calming with most beautiful backdrop of the gardens from the large windows. The hotel and gardens where impeccable on our wedding day.. an ideal location for photos we didn't leave the grounds and got the most amazing photos of us on the bridge, beside the boathouse, by the lake and loads more including the bedroom... the photographer(with 20years experience) was so impressed with the venue. All of our guest had a wonderful time and spent the day in the gardens and reception room-there is direct access from the reception room to the gardens. The variety and quality of the food was breathtaking. Everyone was so helpful and no matter we requested we where meet with a hearty yes. Sara and Samantha where exceptionally helpful and always on hand when we needed them. Even down to the morning of wedding I had left requests for them to arrange pearls on the table and they were done perfectly. It was certainly the venue of our dreams. Thank you again to all at Harveys.

The Harvey's Point team, must have invented the extra mile and beyond.
This finely tuned machine, delivers excellence right from the onset, on viewing the venue, menu options right through to the night before the wedding, when we arrived with items for the tables, we were given yellow post its to mark where we want things set out, and that was that everything was set out to perfection for us.
On the day of the wedding, Harvey's was the perfect host to us and to our family and guests.
The food, service and courtesy extended to us was faultless, not to mention the size of the extraordinary bridal sweet, beautifully appointed with a bar, and Beautiful bathroom, which resulted in us taking tours up for viewing the next day!
The guests are still raving about the size of their bedrooms too!
So we can't sing the praises high enough of Harvey's point and the team, Sarah, Samantha, Noel and all of the fab team for really making our day so special.
Also the idyllic location tucked away by the beautiful lake..
Thanks so much for making our day so effortless and carefree

My wife and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. We had visited umpteen venues but as soon as we entered the warm reception with the peat smell in the air we knew there was something different about the place. Our minds were quickly made up when we stayed a night and tasted the food - the best rooms we have ever stayed in and the food is up there with the best. The staff were so helpful with everything and trust their recommendations on local florists DJ's etc as we are not from the area we trusted them and everything from the cake to the wine exceeded our expectations. You are always going to love the place you get married and our guests are probably a better measure of how good Harveys is and could not of been happier - they enjoyed it so much that most of them have visited since on their own. If you are looking for the ideal wedding venue look no further - I would also recommend staying for at least 2x nights and eating in the new shell fish bar, again out of this world. We could not of been happier with everything and we recommend this hotel above any other they really are the best in the business.

We had a 2013 Christmas wedding at Harveys Point and i cannot stress enough how good this hotel really is. Harveys Point is just a magical hotel to get married at and all staff are all so helpful and friendly. Sara and Samantha were so professional and could not do enough to make our wedding day very special. We had a drinks reception before the meal ina small bar overlooking the lake and this really showed off the fantastic views of the area. The meal was excellent and guests were just amazed at the selection. The hotel bedrooms are fabulous and the best i have ever stayed in. I cannot wait to attend a wedding again in Harveys. Best hotel defo 5+

My new wife and I got married in the beautiful Harvey’s Point on the 5th of October. We looked at a few venues but once we arrived at Harvey’s Point , with the smell of turf on the open fire and the beautiful location by the lake etc., we knew this was the place for us. The staff were fantastic from start to finish, Sara and Samantha and all the staff went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly and made our day a total success and we thank you all for that.

We were blessed with sunshine on our day which gave us the opportunity to have photos by the lake. We were under no pressure as the staff looked after everything. The meal was fantastic, and Noel the character that he is gave our guests a laugh or three with his infectious personality.

My Husband and i had our amazing wedding reception in Harvey's Point way back on 24th of August 2007. Although that may seem like ages ago, we can remember it like it was just last week. The staff at Harvey's Point were absolutely incredible. From the moment went went to view the venue, we had their full support, they accommodated us in every way.
On the day of our wedding the sun shone after a terribly wet summer and that was the beginning of the best day of our lives. The food, the venue and accommodation are all still talked about by our friends. The service we received was second to none.
I like every other bride was a little nervous that the day would all come together ok, but to be honest all i had to do was show up, Harvey's Point took care of the rest.
We fell in love with Harvey's Point and have been back many times since, sometimes to treat our parents to the buffet lunch and other times as a little weekend break away from the kids! We are treated like royalty every time.
I don't tell my friends but i have never been to a wedding as nice as my own!!

We had our wedding in harveys point on 4th oct 2013 and it was such a brilliant setting. The staff were so helpful especially samantha and Sara who were so helpful on the run up to the wedding and on the wedding day ensured all went as planned. The food was delicious such a variety and all guests were talking about the quality and amount of food on the wedding day and after. We got nothing but compliments about the food and the setting. I would love to have my wedding day all over again as harveys point made it that extra bit special. I would thoroughly recommend it for a wedding venue it has everything and more that you would ask for in the perfect wedding venue. I would like to thank all of the staff for ensuring we both had the best day. Thanks Ciara and Hugh.

I had my wedding at Harvey's in August 2011 and it was marvelous, couldn't have asked for anything more.
My bridal party and I stayed in the hotel the night before and when we left the room for the ceremony the staff came and moved all our possessions to the beautiful presidential suite which the groom and I would be staying in that night.
Paul, the masters of ceremonies was brilliant, he talked us through everything we needed to do and had the timings down to a fine art; he was also really good with all the guests, getting them going in all the right places.
After the ceremony my husband and I received a glass of champagne whilst we had some photos done (and brought our 2 dogs out for a run around) and then before the meal we taken away for a quiet 5 minutes alone together (with another drink) whilst the staff got all the guests seated.
The meal was amazing (I would thoroughly recommend the buffet starters and desserts), my new in-laws are quite hard to please and even they were blown away (not just by the food) and the service was second to none; also the wee surprises throughout the meal were fantastic finishing touches. (I won't spoil them for anyone else).
We then adjourned to the bar, which I love with all it's open fires and comfy seating, whilst the room was prepared for the evening (a time restriction for the end of the evening was never imposed)
Buffet food was brought out later in the evening and again it was amazing.
After dancing the night away mu husband and I retired to the presidential suite - which was out of this world - I only wish we'd had more time to enjoy it - where we could have had breakfast in bed had we chosen to.
We were given a fabulous wedding gift by the hotel (which again I won't spoil for others) and the hotel had decorated beautifully - all in all it was the most amazing day ever - I would do it all again in a heartbeat and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Harvey's Point you are spectacular xx

Front start to finish, our wedding day could not be faulted and Harvey's Point played a huge role in this. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the hotel, location, staff, service and food were! One of our guests even thought she'd be upgraded when she saw the size of her 'suite'. Sara and Samantha were always onhand to answer any of our pre-wedding queries, and Paul made sure the day stayed on track. One of the highlights for us was the quiet drink we had in the bar before being introduced into the dining room. Really special moment and a lovely touch. The bridal suite will take your breath away. I think we lost each other a couple of times during our stay! Another lovely touch is being able to sit with your guests at breakfast the following morning at the big round table - a great way to disect the day/night before.
We can't recommend Harvey's Point highly enough.....the perfect locationfor your wedding.
Many thanks to all the staff for helping to make our day so special, Philip & Emer

We got married in Harvey's Point in June past. Honestly we both cannot speak highly enough of Harvey’s Point, from the venue to the staff, food and general ambiance at Harvey's Point. We had guests from a variety of countries and everyone who attended spoke so highly of Harvey's Point and it made our day so special.

From the initial planning of the wedding, right down to the day you will find that the staff are very helpful, friendly, accommodating and approachable. We asked for a few special things to incorporate and this was no problem. We also had luck on our side in that the sun shone very brightly that day and it was lovely as the guests could go outside by the lake which was also so handy for taking photographs so you are not away from your guests for too long. The dining hall is so lovely in that you can see the natural Irish landscape, the mountains and Lough Eske nearby, and the general ambiance is lovely in the room.

Generally I do not give reviews unless I feel very strongly about something. We cannot fault Harvey's Point and we look forward to returning there shortly as it has special memories for us both. We are so glad we chose Harvey's Point and would say to any couple who are looking, you will not be disappointed if you chose this hotel. I still have guests telling me how much they enjoyed the hotel from the beautiful food, the desert buffet to the massive luxury bedrooms. I truly would say having been to a number of weddings, and without bias, Harvey's Point stands out and is in a league of its own.

Once again thanks to all the team who made our day so special and thanks for all your help and kind sentiments. We are so glad we chose Harvey’s Point.

Roisin and Peter.

Harvey's Point exceeded all our expectations on our wedding day, it really is a top class venue in every way. The staff, the food & the luxurious accomodation are in a league of their own.

Sara our wedding coordinator was so approachable & friendly. Nothing was ever a problem & she made the planning of our wedding very easy. She is an invaluable asset to Harvey's Point, I couldn't of asked for a nicer person to deal with. Paul was also very good to us at the top table, thank you.

Our guests are still talking about the delicious food, the wide variety in the starter & dessert buffet pleased everyone. We are glad we opted for the buffet instead of plating the starters & desserts.

The rooms are absolutely fabulous! We have been fortunate enough to stay in many hotels in Ireland & overseas but we have never stayed in rooms as beautiful & grand as the ones in Harvey's. Total luxury!

One small thing we were a bit disappointed about was half our guests including our family members didn't realise there was a drinks reception in the garden marquee. Perhaps a member of staff could be appointed to direct guest to the drinks reception.

To summarise, we had the best day of our lives & Harvey's Point has given us fantastic memories.
We plan to return as often as possible!

Kindest Regards,

Donna & Paul
