We were absolutely delighted with everything on our day. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond at every opportunity to ensure our day was perfect. I must have had their heads wrecked with emails on the lead up but Roisin was super helpful the whole time! Claire was a brilliant …

presence on the day, kept everyone calm and handled any hiccups seamlessly. John and Johannes also couldn't do enough for us and our guests. And Carmel handled all the room bookings seamlessly. We had the most peaceful and relaxing morning in the bridal suite getting ready and nothing was going to stop the groom from stressing that morning but a dip in the pool beforehand helped a bit! Every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism. The venue looked absolutely stunning, even more beautiful than we had imagined. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed everything – from the food to the service to the rooms themselves and everyone made use of the spa the next morning. We especially loved how the dancefloor is right next to the bar-kept the party going well into the night! We truly couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

We had the most incredible experience at this wedding venue! From start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless. Eilis was a dream to work with—always just a phone call away and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The food was absolutely lovely, and our guests are still raving …

about how much they enjoyed themselves. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend!

Our wedding day was an absolute dream at the Maryborough Hotel & Spa! Everything was absolutely amazing on the day! Ellis was fantastic to deal with it from our very first meeting to the day itself! It was a wonderful experience and all the staff on the day were brilliant. I would have my wedding …

there again in a heartbeat and would be delighted to attend a wedding there as a guest!!

Review submitted on Wed, 9th of October, 2024

A year on from our wedding in 2023 the compliments from family and friends are once again flowing.

The main topic is always the food: "Best wedding food I've ever had"; "Scallops at a wedding?!"; "I'm still dreaming about the fillet of beef"; "What a meal, indulgent and brilliant!"; "superb …

attention given to my significant dietary requirement", and so on. Truly exceptional and really what differentiates a Maryborough wedding from all other venues - it's not even close.

In addition, the beauty of the orangery was much-complimented. "Fairytale-esque", "unique"; and "just beautiful" are common themes, as well as the generosity of the canapé selection. A perfect place for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception (even with the August rain!). Guests really enjoyed the separation of both the orangery and the ballroom from the rest of the hotel ("it felt like you had rented your own private gorgeous venue"), but also the proximity to the resident's bar (to escape for a quiet conversation and drink when the party really got going)!

To give some personal reflections on our truly special and wonderful day:

- Claire: what an incredible job in running the day. Absolutely nailed it. Her constant attention to detail did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We think she has some form of mind-reading abilities, anticipating people's needs before people even realised what they needed themselves!

- Mary: We could not have asked for a better person to coordinate everything. A fountain of knowledge - very accommodating but not scared to tell you if something doesn't seem quite right in your planning. Exactly what was needed, and it always felt like we were sitting down with a favourite Aunt to plan our day. A master at destressing an anxious bride, especially when trying to plan from abroad.

All in all, a perfect day, which a lot of people have claimed is the best wedding they've ever attended, and all made possible by Maryborough and its staff - who are truly something special. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary celebrations!

This review is long overdue as last year Colin and I had the most wonderful wedding imaginable at the Maryborough. We had our ceremony and drinks reception in the beautiful Orangerie, followed by dinner and dancing in the ballroom. Not only was the venue stunning (we had our wedding photographs …

taken outside in the wooded area), but all of the staff were amazing. Ellis and Kieran were so helpful when it came to planning the day, helping us with everything from menu choices to entrance songs. All the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly despite the typical Irish rain that required some last-minute adjustments. The two things that everyone still talks about from the day were the band (we booked the Bentley boys) and the food. Every single course was delicious, from the starters and sorbet to the desert - the vegetable soup is still the nicest soup I have ever had. The following day, we had afternoon tea in the drawing room with close family and friends, which was a wonderfully sweet ending to our celebrations. We also chose to stay an extra night in the wedding suite, which I would 100% recommend, so you get some time to enjoy the spa and the amazing facilities there. I can't thank everyone at the Maryborough enough for helping make our special day so wonderful, and we can't wait to return for our anniversary dinner!
