Maeve & Shane, March 2017
We had our wedding reception in Moyvalley Hotel with 140 guests in March 2017, and honestly could not have hoped for a more perfect day. From the first day we met Orla, our wedding coordinator, we felt completely at ease and confident that she would do everything she could to help us organise our wedding day. She listened to our ideas and made suggestions to add to the laid back, fun day she knew we wanted. The Wedding day was brilliant and Orla made sure we had absolutely nothing to think about except enjoying our day with all our friends and family. We started with our drinks reception in the beautiful Balyna house, followed by dinner and dancing in the reception room in the main hotel, and then back to the cellar bar in Balyna house for the residents bar. Our guests were delighted with the service provided by all the staff and spoke about how much they enjoyed the day. The food from beginning to end was delicious and of an extremely high standard. The hotel rooms were extremely comfortable and excellent value for our guests, with the option of staying in the houses right beside the hotel being great for groups. The bridal suite in Balyna house was pure luxury and a lovely treat. Overall we cannot recommend Moyvalley Hotel highly enough as a wedding venue.
Lisa Marie & John, September 2017
We had our wedding here on the 9th of September 2017. We remember driving around most of louth and Meath looking at venues all day and none took our fancy until we drove in the gates of moyvalley. The minute I turned in and started driving up the avenue I knew thus was going to be were our wedding reception would be and I wasn't wrong. We met the wedding coordinator who from the first word out of the her mouth was polite and welcoming and just gave us the run of the hotel and house to look around. We both agreed that this would be the venue and paid a small deposit which wasn't crippling. From the moment we left the hotel that day we had not one thing to worry about we were assigned orla as the planner and we couldn't have got a better person if we tried she was outstanding and answered every question we had at any time of the day and assured us that it would be a day to remember and guess what she wasn't wrong. We arrived at 3.30 on the wedding day to be greeted by friendly staff who went completely out of there way to make sure everything was perfect. Later in the evening we went to the reception room were again orla was there to make sure everyone was having fun. Onto the room which was decorated just as we asked for no corners cut. The meal then was just perfect and the amount of people commenting on it the next day and still today is unbelievable and that is a credit to all the kitchen staff no one was left wanting that night. After the meal and evening entertainment we moved onto the residents bar were we were allowed basically take over until the early hours. I honestly can't say anything bad about this hotel or the staff or the food or the rooms i could go on but I'll only bore you. So my honest advice is if you plan on getting married and want it to be a day you will talk about in 20+ years head straight to moyvalley ask for orla and sit back and relax. Thanks guys you really made our special even more special so thank you very much

We had our wedding in Moyvalley Hotel / Balyna House on October 28th 2017 and enjoyed every minute of it. We had 175 guests on the day and had our reception drinks in Balyna House and then the main dinner in Moyvalley hotel which was really great and a nice mixture of old and new. We really can't thank the staff enough (especially Orla, Simon & Aisling) who catered for our every need. It really is an amazing wedding venue with great staff and competitive rates. The cellar bar was a real high light and we had our resident bar drinks here until the wee hours! Couldn't fault this hotel, it lived up to and exceeded our expectations.

Balyna House Wedding
We got married in Balyna House on December 2017. The service provided by Orla, the wedding coordinator there, was second to none. From the get go, no request was too great, and she turned the whole process from one we were dreading into an absolute dream. For that we cannot thank her enough. Our families and friends had a fantastic time and complemented the venue, the staff and the food highly. We are very much looking forward to a trip back someday soon.
Terrie & Stephen, December 2016
We would like to thank you for everything you did to ensure our wedding celebration turned out to be the best weekend of our lives. In particular, we want to thank the wonderful staff who were so genuinely warn in their welcome and could not have been more attentive. All our guests complimented the staff, delicious food and stunning setting. We are sure you will see many of them again and we are looking forward to returning to Moyvalley ourselves.
Wishing you all the best over Christmas and into 2017.
Angela & Lee, November 2016
We will send a real thank you note when we are back home but in the meantime, we just wanted to drop a quick email to yourself and Aishling to say a massive thank you. Both of you were absolutely amazing and the weekend was fantastic. Our guests, both Irish and overseas, loved the whole venue and all the staff were brilliant, especially with the kids.
Thank you again for making our wedding perfect, even if I did knock about few lanterns over with the dress down the aisle. It was the perfect venue for our wedding and we are so happy that you could accommodate us.
Cassandra & John, October 2016
We really can't thank you and all the staff enough for everything you did for us on Friday. We had an absolutely amazing day and felt so special...we loved every second. All our guests commented on what a beautiful venue moyvalley is. The food was beautiful and all the staff so friendly and helpful. I will be sure to post something on trip advisor when we get back from honeymoon!
Thanks again for everything Orla, wish we could do all over again!!

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of venue! Organizing a wedding in Ireland when you live in Australia can be stressful but Orla Flanagan and everyone at Moyvalley are experts at what they do. Balyna House is an exceptional backdrop for an incredible day (non weather dependant) and it’s great that guests have three choices of accommodation (hotel, cottages or Balyna House). We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute, the food and service was great. Nothing was too much trouble and Orla and her team were very quick to get back to our emails and requests. Thanks a million Moyvalley for giving us exactly what we were hoping for, we wouldn’t change a thing.

We had our wedding v recently in Moyvalley over 2/3 days the bridal party and family arrived the night before the wedding. The team were so helpful and helped us so much in dressing the house and grounds the morning of wedding,this did not surprise us as from the moment we booked our wedding Orla and the team were fantastic We had our drinks reception in Balyna House it was fabulous the food was delicious and drinks flowed. The house was beautiful and kick started the day off.The Reception room in main hotel looked beautiful and everyone was complimentary about the food which there was plenty of. I cannot emphasise how good a venue Moyvalley is great service and the attention to detail. This makes such a difference as we did not need to worry about anything. Some of our guests who did not plan on staying the 2nd night booked in and enjoyed the BBQ that was served and this too was fabulous. Anything that we needed was done without a 2nd thought and most of the time was anticipated by the hotel staff.Everyone was so friendly and the guests were very complimentary about the food, staff and the venue itself. We would not hesitate in recommending Moyvalley a big thank you to Orla Flanagan Oral Beegan and everyone who looked after us and our guests. We had a day that will definitely be remembered for a long time.
Tanya & Chris, June 2018
I cannot Recommend Orla and all the staff at Moyvalley enough. They really went above and beyond to make sure our day was more than perfect. All of our guests commented on the 5star service they received from every person that worked in the hotel. It was exceptional. We were honestly treated like we were the only couple to have ever got married there. This venue really is a hidden gem. You need to go and check it out.
Orla & Alan, May 2018
We had our wedding at Balyna House last weekend, it was the most amazing day of our lives. We would love to be doing it all over again! Orla Beegan and all the team at Moyvalley were superb in every way possible. Our guests are still talking about our venue, from the beautiful stone house where we held our ceremony to the stunning Balyna House where we had our reception. The food was out of this world, the service, the atmosphere, the setting, it was all just perfect. We found Orla and everyone at Moyvalley very professional, efficient and lovely to deal with, which made our planning so much easier. I cannot recommend Moyvalley & Balyna House highly enough. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special.
Melissa & Jason, April 2018
Our fabulous wedding
My husband Jason and I had our amazing wedding day at Balyna house at Moyvalley on the 8th April this year. It is a day we will never forget, our wedding co-ordinator Orla Flanagan helped make all our wishes for our special day come true. We had such fun getting prepared for the big day. Anything asked of the staff was no trouble before the day and on the day itself, such nice, warm and accommodating staff. We really didn’t want it to end. What a magical place to celebrate your wedding, we will be regular visitors to this fabulous hotel, five stars is simply not enough xx
Emma & John, March 2018
We would like to send a massive thank you to you.
I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator, so personable and nothing was ever an issue! Everybody kept complimenting on how good you were with our kids and that you knew their names.
I hope you are very proud of yourself for the job you have done for us and to think you’re only beginning in your career I can only imagine how much more you’ll grow over the coming years. You’re a credit to the hotel!

Dream Wedding Venue & Amazing Team- Highly recommend
I wanted to write a review to say thank you so much to the team at Moyvalley for your commitment and professionalism in the lead up to our wedding in Feb 2018. The staff in Moyvalley are an absolute credit to the hotel. Myself and my husband spent many a day visiting the venue in the lead up to the big day and we were always treated so well on every visit. The staff are very friendly and extremely accommodating from the staff on reception, breakfast room, bar and restaurant. I have to give a special mention to Barry and Orla F on all your help in the lead up to the wedding, I had the most stressful and enjoyable day on my wedding day because I knew everything was in good hands. From your attention to detail, speedy response to emails and advice with the organising I could not have done it without ye. Even in talking to all off our suppliers they have all spoken very highly of your professionalism and how much they enjoy working with ye on every occasion. Every single guest on the day commented on how amazing the decor, customer service, food and venue were. One guest even told me how without even asking noticed that there was an extra bed put into their room for one of their Children when they had checked in for extra comfort. Genuinely so sad it’s all over, but for any couples of thinking of booking this venue for your wedding " Do it" you won’t regret working with an amazing team in the most beautiful location.

Jennifer & Patrick, November 2017
We are just emailing to say a huge thank you for all your help in the lead-up to and of course on the day of our wedding. You made everything so easy for us, especially as we hadn't a clue what we should be doing most of the time! Sorry we are only getting to email you now. It really was perfect from start to finish. People are still coming up to us to tell us how amazing the venue was, how lovely the staff were and how gorgeous the food was. A few people said it was the nicest wedding venue they had ever been to. Everything was done perfectly and there was such a lovely warm atmosphere too. Even when myself and Patrick were out getting photos on the grounds, one of the girls on the staff had kept some food aside for us and brought it up to our room for us as she noticed we never got a chance to eat anything. We actually took ten minutes to ourselves in the room then and had a bite to eat and a glass of prosecco. It was lovely for her to even think of that as I know we wouldn't have!
We would love to be able to write a review for you if you could point us in the right direction.
Thank you so much again.
