Communication with the wedding team, in particular Christina and Julie was so efficient. If we had any queries or concerns they gave us reassurance and answered any questions we had immediately. After the ceremony we were handed drinks straight away which was well needed and appreciated at that stage! On the day itself, Jillian was amazing. She had everything under control and even held an umbrella for me as it rained and we went out for some photos! Everyone complimented the "girl boss Jillian", as everyone could see how well she did her job and how much she loves her job.
Our guests complimented how smooth everything ran on the day. They reported that they wanted for nothing as staff were on hand for anything they needed. We couldn't recommend the Great Southern enough for any occasion. We can't thank the staff and the wedding team enough.
It was the best weekend of our lives and they made it so that we could take it all in and not have to stress or think about anything.
Kind regards,
Shannon and Padraig

On to our day two in Fredericks, and what can we say, we were still in the hotel but it felt totally different - another brilliant experience for our guests. The privacy and that pub feel was great! The barbecue food and salads were just delicious. Our live music brought great atmosphere, and there was a television very kindly rolled in to the room for the football lovers to watch the match.

The hotel was stunning, the drinks reception was outstanding. We would also like to sincerely thank Jillian for her outstanding support throughout our wedding drinks reception and evening of wedding. She made us feel so relaxed and ensured everything ran smooth and seamless throughout the meal. She even came to greet our guests at breakfast the following morning and they were all very appreciative of that.
The meal was superb and we had more than enough delicious food served to us. All the staff were outstanding and we could not find fault with anything. We would also like to thank Sean at the front door who was very helpful and welcoming to everyone. All of our guests commented on how great the hotel staff were and how welcomed we all felt. Everyone had such a great day.

The menu tasting was a highlight in the wedding planning, Stephen was fantastic and our family still talk about him! We genuinely felt like royalty. When people were asking me how wedding planning was going, I could only say back “I have no idea why anyone thinks organising a wedding is stressful, it’s been so easy” and upon reflection, it was that easy because we had a team of incredible people who know exactly what’s what, to help plan and create this day for us.
The day itself was just amazing. So many of my guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, including my dad who is notoriously the hardest person in the world to please, he did not have a single criticism all day. I’ve never seen him so happy- so thank you for that!! My uncle Dave had shot many weddings at your venue and he kept telling me how looked after we would be but also couldn’t stop saying how incredible it was to be a guest at a wedding there. Everything just went flawlessly.
Julie was incredible to work with. She made sure our vision was executed to perfection. She kept me up to date on bits and pieces that needed our attention and above all of that, she was such a relaxing and encouraging presence on the day too. There was no moment at all during the day I felt I had to worry about anything. I had full trust that you would deliver, and deliver you did!!!
Special thanks to Jillian as well, she was a Rockstar, always made sure we were comfortable and “hydrated”, and kept up to date throughout the day too. I cannot recommend the Great Southern enough!
