Feedback from our recent Brides & Grooms

We just wanted to drop a line to say a massive thank you to yourself and all the staff in Castle Durrow for making our wedding day absolutely amazing. Everything went without a hitch and all our family and friends are raving about the place. From the drinks reception on arrival, to the fabulous meal (hats off to the kitchen), to the dancing then to the residents bar- the staff could not do enough for us. The level of service we received was absolutely top class and everyone was made to feel so welcome and special.

To each and every one of the Castle Durrow staff, can I just say a HUGE thank you for making our three days wedding celebrations in Castle Durrow so so memorable and perfect. From the food, to the room, to the gardens & the excellent pre wedding meetings with Marie -it was everything that we had hoped and wished for 100 times more. We will never forget how kind, welcoming & helpful you all were to us, little Amy and our friends and family.

Castle Durrow made for the perfect setting for our perfect day, but t was all the staff that made the day truly wonderful! We promise to be back again soon! Thank you all so much. Lots of Love. A & D 2.7.11

I wanted to thank you and say how pleased we were with all aspects of our dealings with the staff in Castle Durrow in arranging “L and E” wedding. We had a wonderful two days in Castle Durrow, far exceeding my expectations. Many thanks for your help, advice and expertise in organising the reception. The happy couple were only delighted with the whole event, Baby “x” was really well looked after by the babysitter. The whole event ran so smoothly, all the staff were so professional and friendly, the Americans were bowled over by the house itself, the atmosphere and the fact that only wedding guests were residents on Monday night. Others commented on the dining room layout, the flowers, the candelabras, the table linen and the service. Irish friends wondered why they had not had their daughters weddings in Durrow!! You had a very contented group.
I hope that some of our friends will invite us to another reception in Durrow so that we can enjoy the place once more. “Mother of Bride” 16.5.11

Thank you so much for looking after everything for our wedding. The team at Durrow looked after us extremely well and everything was so professional at all times. You were fabulous and made things very easy for us. ( the last minute tissue was an in genius idea!!). We will be back soon and will bring loads of friends. We will also recommend you to everyone we know. Thanks again. B&M 9.5.11

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for everything you and your staff did for us on our wedding day. You are blessed by having some amazing people working with you. Durrow has a great reputation of a great location, impeccable service and beautiful food and it delivered all of those on our day. The little gift afterwards, the picture of the entrance- was really touching and will be treasured. We can’t wait to come back and visit year after year. A & J 2.4.11

Thanks for everything these past few months. You made everything run so smoothly and we never doubted that you guys would give us the most amazing wedding day. You’re a superstar! A&J 02.4.11

To all the staff
Just back from honeymoon and wanted to drop a quick note to say a major thanks to all at Castle Durrow. We all had a great day and brilliant party! Thanks again for everything and we will always remember our special day at Durrow. B&A 16.3.11

To all the Durrow Team
We couldn’t have wished for a better day- your venue, service & efficiency is second to none. You’re an absolute God-send to the Bride & Groom – particularly to those like us who needed someone/somewhere we could trust to organise the day as we were not around to do so!! You sold it to us from DAY 1. Thank you for all your patience!! Lots of love J&D 3.2.11

We just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thanks to you and the staff for helping to make our day so special. From start to finish you were all excellent. Your team were courteous to our guests and always helpful no matter what. The food was absolutely fabulous and we still have family and friends talking about how well presented and tasty it was, so compliments to the chef and his team! The room was just stunning and was everything we had hoped it would be. Finally we would really like to thank you for all your help both on the day and in the lead up to our wedding. As i said in my speech you were a real calming influence and no question felt silly or pointless to ask. So again thanks to you and all the staff in Durrow and best wishes for 2011. A&B 31.12.10

We just wanted to email and you for a fantastic day on Dec 23rd. We were so happy with everything laid on in Durrow Castle. The guests were highly impressed with everything about the day, with the high quality of the food and the wine being served the most popular compliments being paid. Also every member of staff was extremely friendly and helpful and helped to make a great evening and enjoyable breakfast the following morning. The day and evening also ran so smoothly and we like to thank you personally for the high level of organisation it took behind the scenes for it all to run so well. We could not recommend Durrow Castle highly enough. G&R 23.12.10

To all the team at Castle Durrow,
Thank you so much for making our special day such a wonderful experience. The level of hospitality and service was outstanding. A&F 20.11.10

The dust is finally settling! Just a quick note to say thanks for all your hard work in helping to make such a great and stressfree day for us. From start to finish everything in the hotel was absolutely perfect-we are so glad that we chose castle durrow for our reception because I think they really think about those little details that other hotels forget about-we lost count of the number of people who commented thet it was the nicest wedding venue they had been to and best food that they had had. All of the guests with children thought the childrens rooms were perfect. At about 1 am when i took my shoes and within 60 seconds I was offered a pair of flip-flops and we both really love the print of Castle Durrow that we were given when we were leaving. Reservations were a pleasure to deal with when it came to sorting out rooms (not an easy job} and finally you were also an absolute pleasure to deal with- you managed to be completly relaxed to deal with yet extremely well organised (i suppose somebody had to be organised and we certainly were’nt)-they was no demand too great and the day ran so smoothly-we’re looking forward to coming back for our honeymoon. A massive thanks again. M&S 6.11.10

To all at Castle Durrow,
Thank you so much for giving us the day of our dreams. Everyone of you contributed to our day and went over and above to make us feel like the only bride and groom to ever be married there. We look forward to spending many more memories with you all. J&P 4.11.10

Thank you for all your help in making our wedding the perfect day! Also please pass on our thanks to all the staff for their excellent service and attention to all our guests and us over the last few days.  L & W 23.10.10

Hi all, I just wanted to write you a little note to say thank you so much for helping make our day so special from the moment we chose Castle Durrow as our venue we never failed to be impressed by the fantastic service and friendly welcomes that we received on every visit. The day itself was even more perfect than I could ever imagined, and it was all the hard work and percise planning of you and your team that made it so wonderful. Thanks again, you really are the best wedding coordinator I’ve known of. Thank you also for our beautiful painting. It is now hanging with pride in our apartment and acts as a wonderful reminder of the best day of our lives. We look forward to returning on our anniversary next year and hopefully for many years more.
L&T 21.10.10

We just wanted to send a very belated “thank you” card to you all. We had our wedding reception in the Castle on Thursday 14th October. We both had an amazing day with all our friends and family. From the day we booked the Castle, every request was met with the answer “yes”, we can do that”. Although, I knew you were known for your customer service and the quality of your food, we both felt on the day that it made our “big day” a truly unique experience for our guests. Our guest’s commented how fabulous the venue was, how friendly all the staff were on the day and of course how much they enjoyed their meal ( food and wine).
Looking forward to celebrating more amazing events at the Castle.
E & C 14.10.10

We both had the most fantastic wedding day that anyone could wish for…. from the day we booked our wedding in Castle Durrow we had no doubt that it would be.  The professionalism and service from all of the staff was first class.  It was all the touches from all the organising and warm greeting when we arrived, the taking of my veil to our room for safekeeping, to all the breakfast, restaurant and bar staff being so lovely and friendly.  All our guests have commented on how beautiful Castle Durrow is and how lovely the meal was. We are looking forward to popping back for some vists during our married life :) M&E 09.10.10

To all the Staff @ Castle Durrow.

To all the Castle Durrow Staff. We would like to thank you all for the wonderful care and attention you gave to all of us during E&P’s wedding last week. We spent the most memorable 3 days at Castle Durrow. Thank you all so much. A&P 19.08.10 (Parents of Bride)

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but life is really just moving so fast. I wanted to extend a huge Thanks a million to you personally for making our wedding such a fantastic and wonderful day. You really did an amazing job in organizing the whole event so well and making it such a great few days from start to finish. Everything was gorgeous and everyone had a ball. I would do it all over again in the same place and the same way in a heartbeat! Everyone raved on about how incredible the staff were and how courteous and accommodating they were in every respect. The food was also delicious – the pea soup and rack of lamb were a huge hit! Thank you again and thanks to everyone else who helped make it such a wonderful and special day. A&N 12.08.10

We are writing to tell you how delighted we were with our son’s wedding reception, which took place at Castle Durrow on Saturday 7th. Due to the careful planning and dedicated execution of these duties by your staff we had what could only be considered as a memorable day. The facilities, the food, the atmosphere and the excellent staff all came together to give us more than we expected. Our guests, who came from as far as Norway and the USA, raved about the location and the service they received. We will not hesitate to recommend Castle Durrow to friends and family about to embark on a similar venture. We have already had feed-back from a number of our guests all of whom have commented, not only on the kindness and efficiency of your staff, but also on the excellent, outstanding food which was enjoyed by all. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved in helping to make our son’s wedding day a very special event and one we shall never forget. C&G 07.08.10 ( Parents of Groom)

Just a little note to say thanks so much to you all for making our wedding day so wonderful and special. You all went out of your way to make the day perfect for us in every way. Although our wedding party was very small you made us feel really special and created a lovely intimate atmosphere for both ourselves and our guests. We can’t thank you enough for taking so much time to make everything so relaxing and enjoyable for us. All of our family were so impressed by all of the attention you gave us from the moment we arrived to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and didn’t have to worry about anything. My brother and his wife were particularly delighted and appreciative of all the help they were given with their baby. Thank you for helping to make it the most perfect day for us and one which we will never forget. We will definitely be back and will be recommending you to all our friends. Best wishes. H&N 04.08.10

We would like to say a hugh thank you to you and to all for ensuring we have the most amazing wedding. The day itself and BBQ the next day were perfect. The service, the food, the accommodation – the whole package was first class. We have received nothing but praise about Castle Durrow from all our guests. We really cannot thank you enough! It really is a special place and we will be recommending Castle Durrow to everyone. We will be back! Thank you all so much again and see you soon.  J&C 29.07.10

Thanks for all your help throughout the wedding. It was great knowing we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s a fantastic venue but would be nothing without the fantastic staff.  M&R 26.7.10

Just a quick few lines to thank you for providing us with a fabulous venue for celebrating our wedding day. The day was absolutely perfect, and all of our guests were full of praise for the hotel, its facilities and staff. From the minute we made contact, right through to the settlement of the account, the service afforded to us was of the highest quality. Every single staff member we dealt with, in any area of the hotel was professional, courteous and friendly and they deserve the highest of praise. The reservations staff dealt with our guests and all of their requirements brilliantly, particularly since we have a few family requirements such as bunk beds and babysitters etc. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and luxurious and its a pity our stay was limited to just one night. All of our guests were highly complimentary of the quality of the drinks reception at the hotel, from  the varierty of beverages offered to the courteous manner in which they were served. The gardens provided a wonderful environment in which to enjoy our drinks and they are a credit to the hotel. The functions staff carrried out their duties meticulously for the duration of the reception and dealt with our guests dietary requirements brilliantly. The quality of the food was complimented several times during the evening and the clean plates been sent back to the kitchen after every course are testament to that. To sum up, our reception was the envy of many of our guests and many of them not familiar with Castle Durrow before our wedding will now never forget the place and its people. If you need any client recommendations in the future, we would be happy to recommend you as the ultimate wedding venue. Wishing you every success in the future. M&D 17.07.10

Sorry we have not been in touch in the last couple of weeks – not long back after our honeymoon ! Just wanted to touch base with you to thank you and all the staff at Castle Durrow for an amazing day on the 15th!  Thank you so much for making it all possible within the short space of time – your cool attitude and approach was encouraging as to what could be done in a short space of time ! Venue is truly fantastic – each room a tribute to the interior designer!  All staff from reception to banquet/bar and residents bar were more than accommodating. Guests are still raving about the place and hopefully you’ll secure a few more bookings over the coming years as a result of our experience. So glad we went for the late night bbq option – added to the atmosphere and food again was excellent. From both of us can I wish you and all at Castle Durrow continued success and heartfelt thanks for everything you did for us over the last couple of months. E&M 15.07.10      

Thank you so very much for all of your patience and expertise in helping this wedding become a reality for us. You are so good at what you do and a saint for answering my hundreds of emails, sometimes several times a day! Everyone in the States says whats a hugh project it must be to plan a wedding abroad – and it was(!) – but from you I could always count on clarity and professionalism. For that I am so sincerely grateful. I wish you all the best in your future endaevors at Castle Durrow or whereever life may take you. K&C 12.07.10

Just a quick note to thank you for the wonderful stay we have in your hotel at my sisters wedding on 8th May. The team and you should start offering courses to other Hotel’s in Ireland to show how a wedding should be done. I now understand why my sister dargged us from the North East to the South Midlands of the Country for her wedding. It was like moving into someone’s house for the weekend. The reception, food and service were exceptional. Truly I cannot say enough about your hotel and the service we received. The Castle, the rooms, the grounds, and particularly the wonderful staff were absolutely superb. Big thanks again to you and all the staff at wonderful Castle Durrow.
