Colette & Will, May 2015

We had our wedding in Moyvalley in May 2015 and it did not disappoint. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The reception in the house was lovely. The baked goods and canapés were very popular and our guests loved the house and gardens. From the point of view of the couple, we really liked the we were able to have our photos taken in the grounds behind the house so we were nearby to all our guests.

We has dinner in the hotel because our number was too large for the house. Everything was great. The atmosphere was really good, the staff were really enthusiastic and the food was delicious and plentiful. Our guests also complimented the wine. Catherine in the restaurant was excellent too. Our other wedding suppliers, band, photographer, photobooth, florist, etc… had no trouble getting access or setting up and the hotel staff were cooperative and helpful with them.

We dealt with Lynn R who was really excellent at all times. Lynn C also helped us out and was great too. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we really felt that we were listened to and that everybody tried to give us exactly what we wanted. We rented Balyna House for the night of the wedding so that our immediate families and bridal party would all have a night in those rooms. (The rooms really are beautiful!) Many of our guests stayed in the hotel for the night and we had a chance to meet up and chat over a delicious breakfast the next morning. The whole event flew by without a hitch. There were some nice touches too in the form of little surprises from the hotel which I won’t ruin now by describing.

We could not recommend Moyvalley highly enough. We thought it was good value given that the house and grounds make is so much more than a standard hotel. We did not have even one negative piece of feedback about the venue from any of our 160 guests. We wish all the team in Moyvalley every success in future,

 

Ruth & Ross, October 2015

So we are thinking back on our wedding in Balyna House and the main hotel with such amazing fond memories.. don’t really know where to start. It was magical. We are over whelmed with messages from family and friends with such great memories of the day and location, simply saying it has it all. Our photographer Ronan Palliser has rated it as one in his top 5 venues, and he has been to many near and far! We were quite picky if I’m honest but Lynn could not have done enough to help make our day our dream. Simon was there each step of the way on our magical day. As a guest said in our wedding book, "perfect day, prefect venue, perfect food, perfect team of staff- just 110% perfect." Thank you Moyvalley, it was incredible x

 

Sharon & Keith, August 2015

You've no idea how much I appreciate absolutely everything you did for us over our wedding weekend I couldn't have asked for any more!! It was the most amazing day of our lives. Nothing was too much for you or any of the staff. Having you sort out the bouquets for our mams meant so much to us! Even with the bbq the next day when more people than expected showed up there was no problem to get more food for them. Everybody I spoke to said it was the most amazing wedding they had ever been to!! The food was unbelievable and the little touches like the ice cream went down so well:) From the bottom of my heart we want to thank you and every single person at Moyvalley for everything that was done for us it really was a dream come true. We'll be down soon for lunch and a trip down memory lane!!
Thanks again.

 

Martin & Dileia, July 2015

We would just like to say a big thank you to Moyvalley for making our day just as we had dreamed, once we had booked we had high expectations and we were never disappointed once. What a great experience.Orla, a special thanks for all the care and attention that helped us enjoy our day even more, your patience, understanding, professionalism and overall attitude in dealing with our sometimes trivial questions and requests was excellent, on every occasion that we met we left feeling very reassured and when it came to the day you delivered on every promise. Thank you.We love the wonderful gift you gave us, which was unexpected, but a really nice touch and an example of the extra effort and thought that Moyvalley put into organising our day.

 

Naomi & David, June 2015

Where to start, we had our wedding here on 26th June. Everybody that attended the wedding is still raving about the stunning venue, gorgeous food and amazing friendly staff! Both Lynn and Orla looked after us so well during the run-up, day itself and throughout the whole weekend, nothing was too much! Daniel the chef was brilliant and made sure we were happy with everything being served. Barry and Simon where brilliant on the day and made sure that everything went smoothly. We had a BBQ the following day in Balyna House and again everybody was impressed with the amazing feed and how well we were looked after. I would highly recommend any couple to have their wedding here. We wish we could do it all again but exactly the same way!

Thanks a million.

Jennifer & Edward, May 2015

We couldn't thank Moyvalley enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day and in the lead up to it. Everyone was so lovely and nothing was too much of an effort. All of our guest thoroughly enjoyed the day and some said it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. We had an absolute ball and would not hesitate to recommend Balyna house and Moyvalley to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue. Thanks so much to you all!

 

Ziying & Damien, April 2015

We are really glad that we chose Moyvalley as our wedding venue.The hotel is absolutely beautiful.

We are really thankful to the hotel for all the delicate decorations, and the amazing food.

Thank you for making our day special.

 

Audrey & Colm, March 2015

Thank you all so very much for our perfect wedding day March 7th. It was the most amazing day start to end. All the staff were incredible We Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Marie & Glen, September 2015

We had our Wedding on the grounds of Moyvalley Hotel and Golf resort last month and I cannot rate my experience high enough. We had our reception in the Stone House and it was so beautifully decorated that it was a magical experience walking up the aisle. The reception was held in Balyna House and I could not have asked for a beautiful venue to share with my family on my special day. The meal was fabulous, my guest were very impressed. It was beautifully presented and hot, which in my experience is a rare compliment. So a big thank you to the chefs and waiters and waitresses on the day. You are the hidden gems in the hospitality industry.

A special thanks to Barry, he kept a very cool head on the day when the little things went wrong!
And lastly a huge thanks to Orla, the Wedding and Events Coordinator. From the start she was just as excited for my Wedding as myself and my now hubby were. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for us to make the day as special as it was. There was nothing I had to do but turn up, get beautified, get married and have fun. Orla and her amazing Team did the rest.
I cannot recommed Moyvalley Hotel enough to other Brides-to-be. So if you are reading this and think of having your wedding there, go check it out you will fall in love with it instantly. Simon, has created a brilliant staff team and it was an absolute pleasure to share my day with them.

Thanks again to everyone.

 

Ruth & Noel, August 2015

Dear Moyvalley Team,

First and foremost, our sincere apologies this testimonial is such a long time coming. We have had a hectic couple of months since the wedding and shockingly are still getting around to some of our post wedding to do’s.

Ruth and myself just wanted to thank the entire Moyvalley staff for making our wedding day perfect for the two of us and our guests. We both had an amazing time and our guests had nothing but good things to say about Moyvalley and its staff. Everybody loved the food and the venue and we’re over the moon we chose to celebrate our wedding day there.

Lynn was our wedding coordinator and she went above and beyond to meet all our requests and ensure everything was set up exactly how we planned on the day, so a massive thanks to her!

Thanks again!

 

Anita & Stuart, July 2015

Myself and Stuart had our wedding at Moyvalley in July. From the moment we booked our wedding until the day after it the service was fantastic. We dealt with both Orla and Lynn who were fantastic. Leading up to the day we mainly dealt with Orla who I couldn't recommended enough. She answered every and all of my many questions and also gave us some great ideas too. She was so enthusiastic about her job that it made us feel really relaxed as we knew we were in safe hands. Any request we had was accommodated. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and I'm still getting compliments on the food and service from the staff . We couldn't fault the food it was delicious and it was served promptly and all staff were very professional. All guests were really impressed with their rooms and cottages. We are delighted we chose this hotel to have our wedding and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again to all the staff and especially a huge thank you to orla .

 

Aileen & Krigh, June 2015

To all at Moyvalley,
It's been three months since our wedding and we can't believe how quickly time has flown by.
We want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Moyvalley for the amazing weekend we had for our wedding at Balyna House.
A very special thank you to the wedding co-ordinators we dealt with over the months. Lana, Lynn R, Lynn C & Orla. You were all amazing, answering all our many questions, making suggestions and reassuring us that all was under control. Your quick responses were really fantastic and between you all we always got all the information we needed.
Another special thank you to Barry, who was a very calming presence on the day. He kept it all running smoothly. A terrific guy who is fantastic at his job !
We had a magical few days at Moyvalley. For us it was the perfect venue. Being able to have the ceremony and reception in the same place with all our guest staying in the hotel or cottages was exactly what we were looking for. It kept everyone together all weekend and we felt like Balyna House was our home from home for the few days. Our guests from Ireland, UK and Canada were blown away with the house, hotel and its grounds. It was so peaceful and beautiful and well maintained. All the advantages of a modern hotel with the charm of a country house. The food for the meal exceeded our expectations. The wedding co-ordinators helped us shape the day they way we wanted it and the staff could not have been more helpful. We have amazing memories for our beautiful wedding at Balyna House, Moyvalley as do our guest and we can't wait to come back for another visit.

Pamela & Robert, June 2015

We had our wedding reception at Balyna house, last June.
Our wedding was everything we could have wished for. On the lead up to the wedding, the wedding coordinator Lynn and her team, were very helpful and had everything in hand. They put us at ease and no query or request was too small.
On the day of the wedding, Ann and her team in Balyna house were amazing. They were very professional and courteous, putting us at ease from the moment we arrived. The ambiance was exactly as we envisaged, formal while still being relaxed.
Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the venue and continue to compliment the staff.
If you are looking for a venue we would highly recommend Moyvalley, you wont be disappointed.

Thank you again so much!

Cheryl & Stephen, May 2015

Thank you so much to the staff at Moyvalley for making our wedding weekend a fantastic one! From the moment Alice showed us around the beautiful Balyna house, cottages & the grounds, we knew we wanted to have our day at the venue. It was a pleasure to deal with both Lynn's and every request was accommodated leading up to the day. We had our reception for 200 in the main room of hotel and it was brilliant to be able to decorate as we pleased. Thank you to Anne for her help in setting up the room which looked superb! The canapés at the drinks reception were excellent and the main meal of duck, veg soup, salmon and beef was 5 star. Not to forget the trio of dessert, yum! Barry and Simon were great on the day and always nearby to assist. The bar staff were so friendly and still smiled after a late night in the residence bar!The breakfasts were really nice and the Scottish enjoyed the full Irish! Catherine is a lovely lady and excellent at her job in the restaurant. We loved having Sunday at Balyna house to enjoy the BBQ (food was amazing and plenty of it!) and continue the song song in the Cellar bar. Thank you to Theresa and all the girls on reception (especially Laura & Orla) for organising the accommodation. Although it rained, the men really enjoyed the golf and the course is in great condition.

We wish you lots of success for the future and I would highly recommend the resort of any couples getting married.

 

Monica & Enda, May 2015

Our wedding day was so special and intimate, everything we dreamed of and more. This was made possible by the excellent staff who were so accommodating and helpful throughout. Lynn really was a star and pulled out all the stops for us.
Everyone commented on the great food and relaxed, fun atmosphere which was exactly what we set out to create, thanks again.

 

Shane, November 2014

Our wedding was everything we could of asked for. We had an amazing weekend. The Cottages, Stone House, Balyna House and the surrounding grounds are gorgeous. All the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went according to plan. We would recommend anyone who is considering getting married to have it at the Moyvalley Estate.

 

Gemma, October 2014

We had our wedding here in October and seriously couldn't recommend it enough! We stayed in a deluxe cottage the night before the wedding as did many family and friends and we all loved it! They are clean, modern but also have nice vintage furniture to reflect Balyna house. The wedding itself went amazingly. The staff were wonderful and the food was delicious. The rooms in Balyna house are breathtaking. Wish I could rent the house out again just for the weekend!
