Simply the most incredible venue I've ever seen.

We got married here on Saturday. Simply the most incredible venue I've ever seen. I worked in weddings for years in dozens of venues and nothing compares. All the staff were so attentive and everything ran perfectly smoothly due to the staff and management. Thank you all so very much. I cannot recommend Ballyscullion enough!

We just fell in love and knew it was the one.

We had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding at Ballyscullion park on 26/08/22, and what a day it was! We can’t even begin to put into words how amazing Rosalind, Cathy, Garry and all the team at ballyscullion are. From our very first visit (which was are first venue visited) we just fell in love and knew it was the one that we wouldn’t find anywhere else like this stunning venue. We felt so welcomed and at ease, the whole way through our planning Cathy and Rosalind were always at hand to answer any questions we had, nothing was ever any hassle to them! Our day could not have went anymore smoothly and this was all down to the staff on the day with their warm, welcoming attitudes, they made sure everyone was attended to. A massive thanks to Garry and Geraldine for looking after us all evening also, all our guests loved you both. As for the grounds they are just breathtaking, all of our guests are still talking about how stunning it was and how welcoming and friendly everyone of the staff were. We honestly can’t thank you all enough for your hard work and ensuring we had the best day. Ballyscullion park was definitely the best decision we could have made!

Simply the best wedding venue ever. Don’t think I ever came across a more friendly efficient staff. They went above & beyond to make our daughters day so special. The grounds and all the little extras were second to none. It was perfect from beginning to end. Can’t thank you enough, absolutely 5 stars

Everyone kept saying how amazing the food was!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives! Wow, we really did choose the best venue, the beautiful Ballyscullion Park (thankfully we got very lucky and got some sun). Though want to give a special mention to Cathy and Rosalind for helping us throughout the last year in organising and answering all our questions and helping with the planning! Garry the bar manager was a gentleman, a very down to earth man and ensured I was sorted with my favourite drinks throughout the day and greeted with champagne on arrival! Big thanks to Geraldine who run the night so well, looking after everyone and doing master of ceremonies! Thanks to all the servers and bar staff, especially Danielle who looked after the top table and ensured everything was great. I cant believe the big day is all done, I wish I could do it all over again and if I could, I would choose Ballyscullion Park everytime for my venue! My guests were stunned at how beautiful the place was, everyone kept saying how gorgeous the grounds were, how good the prices at the bar was and how amazing the food was (Arbutus Catering) truly outstanding day. Thank you to all who helped give us the best day

Cathy, Rosalind and their team are so attentive

We honestly couldn't recommend Ballyscullion Park as a wedding venue enough, it is truly the most special place to hold your wedding day celebrations. Cathy, Rosalind and their team are so attentive and caring from the day of booking and their love for the venue and hosting weddings is so evident. The venue is so special due to the attention you receive due to the privacy of the venue, how you are encouraged to bring new ideas and your personality to your day and the extensive, beautiful grounds and marquee. Our guests haven't stopped raving about how fabulous the grounds were, how unique the venue was or how fantastic the service was. We couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else, thank you so much! Sarah and Eugene

We will cherish the memories forever!

We got married at Ballyscullion Park on 23rd April 2022 and can honestly say that it was the best decision we could have made!!! When we first started searching for a wedding venue, we were a little disheartened to discover that many of the big ideas we had for our wedding day simply could not be accommodated by some venues due to their own restrictions. This was not the case with Ballyscullion Park!! Not only did the team there go above and beyond to ensure we had our dream day but I felt that they actually shared in our excitement and were thrilled to accommodate any unique requests. The professionalism, organisation and communication from the Ballyscullion team was fantastic from day one and we immediately knew we were in safe hands. What sets them apart from other venues is the warmth, care and dedication of the staff that can only be found in a family-run business. The coordinators and bar staff on the day were absolutely amazing in ensuring that everything ran smoothly, according to plan and without any fuss! I honestly didn't think I could feel so relaxed on my wedding day! Special shout-out to barman Gary who really charmed our guests with his humour and chat! As for the venue itself, what can I say? It's the most incredible venue we've ever seen!! The options for getting married at Ballyscullion Park are pretty endless - be it indoors (in the coach room/stables) or outdoors (in the woodlands, sheltered strawberry garden or anywhere else in the beautiful walled gardens). There really is something for everyone! If you are looking for the right place to have your dream wedding then I guarantee you can find it at Ballyscullion Park. Thank you so much to Rosalind, Cathy, Coredelia and the entire Ballyscullion Park team for making our wedding day so perfect and stress-free. We will cherish the memories forever!
