Stephen managed our menu tasting which was a great experience. He made us feel very relaxed, talked us through each course and again went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The tasting was one of our highlights and this was, in no small part, down to Stephen. The day itself was so much better than we had imagined. Everything went perfectly. We were treated so well from first thing in the morning until we checked out. We both stayed onsite the night before the wedding and there was a fuss made of us from check-in. When we arrived back from the church, Christina and the staff were waiting with umbrellas and champagne. We then got a lovely surprise when the staff of the hotel gave us a round of applause/guard of honour into the hotel. This was a lovely touch. The drinks reception was perfect. Everything looked amazing.

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.
