'Best Decision We Ever Made'

We had our wedding in Breaffy house the weekend of the 23rd of September 2022. I just want to say how amazing Una, Sheila, Sarah & Caroline were to us from when we booked our venue. Una went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything throughout all the stages of planning our big day, and she couldn't do enough for us. Time management and service on the day was phenomenal too. She really is a fantastic Manager in the hotel and gives the complete 5 star service in everything that she does. Sheila was absolutely fabulous to deal with and had everything running so smoothly on the day. From the minute we arrived we got the 5 star service from her. Nothing was to much for her to do and she went out of her way to give us a fabulous day 2 also. Sarah was so lovely to deal with and gave us a beautiful meal tasting and lovely experience of the hotel the month prior. Caroline was a dream to deal with booking accommodation and making sure all guests were happy. Also all the bar staff and restaurant/breakfast team were fantastic too and all super friendly. We would highly recommend Breaffy house hotel as a fantastic venue for any couple looking for a special venue to have a wedding. Honestly best decision we made was having our wedding there. Forever grateful to all the team for giving us the best day to remember.

Thanks a million guys x

Our First Covid Wedding

Breaffy House Hotel completely out did themselves hosting our wedding on Friday 14th of August 2020. All our guests are still talking about it, Katie the wedding manager was a star, especially when Covid first hit, she acted straight away and changed our date for us, Wilson and Una were amazing to deal with, we were very apprehensive about going ahead with our wedding during these strange times, but we really wanted to get married, the three managers were brilliant, we had numerous of meetings to try and accommodate our wedding to suit with restrictions at the time. They always made myself and Peter feel more relaxed about going ahead with a smaller number, it was the best day ever and even nicer not having too many people there, everyone that was there were our nearest and dearest and our guests were delighted and felt safe with the layout of the whole day and venue. Breaffy are blessed with all the room they have for social distancing, we were lucky with the weather that day and were able to have our drinks reception outside, all our guests loved this and they felt so safe and relaxed. Our function room was set out with no top table and all tables were seated with family only and everyone was delighted with that, with plenty of space. The staff at Breaffy were excellent and followed all guidelines in regards to COVID regulations. Everyone wore a mask at all times, we had a second day as well at Breaffy and it was lovely. We got to invite the guests we couldn’t have on the first day and they really enjoyed it. Breaffy organised a BBQ for our guests that evening, the food was outstanding, it really was. If there was anything I could pass on to other brides and grooms, if they just want to get married, a smaller wedding is definitely the way to go. I still remember everyone who was there and what conversations we had and everyone said it was the best wedding they were at. It was so relaxed and that’s all I ever wanted, and my day came true in the end.

I can only thank all the managers at Breaffy House Hotel for this to happen they were brilliant, 

Thanks so much,

‘Fantastic Setting’

We got married in Breaffy House Hotel on Saturday 19th October 2019. To say that Breaffy House is an amazing venue is an understatement. My husband and I are both local to Castlebar and visited Breaffy House Hotel many times for various events. When we were deciding on a wedding venue, there was no competition for our first choice.  A big influence in deciding on Breaffy for our wedding is its fantastic setting. Being an autumn wedding, we decided all of our wedding pictures were to be taken on the grounds in Breaffy House. The golden, brown colours of the trees and grounds were so magical. A perfect backdrop for the photos

We first met with Katie at our menu tasting and she put us right at ease with her professional, can do attitude. Her enthusiasm and passion for her job only added to our excitement. Nothing was a problem for this lady and we knew we were in good hands. Katie was always contactable and was always reassuring.

Upon our arrival on the day, Katie took charge. Her confidence and attitude reassured us both to relax and enjoy our big day. She truly made us feel like the stars of the show. The banqueting room was stunning and was decorated so beautifully. There was plenty of room for everybody. All the guests were so impressed by the professional and first-class service provided by Katie and all of the staff members on the day. Her team were efficient and competent and well-choreographed in their service and all worked very well together. That type of service can only come with experience and practice. The food was far beyond what we could ever have imagined. We did not need to ask of our guests, they couldn’t help but pass compliment on how well prepared and tasty the food was when we got around to chat with them.

I must also highly recommend The Wine Cellar. We rounded up our bridal party, and as a special thank you to them for all their hard work, took a break after dinner to have some rare whiskey and champagne in the Hotels cellar. After a hectic day it was the best way to relax and take a few moments to ourselves out of the spotlight.

Any of our family and friends who stayed in the hotel were very impressed with all aspects of the accommodation, the service and professionalism of all the staff. The team at Breaffy House Hotel are a credit to the place. It is said that the key to a great wedding is that the guests are well fed, well drank and well danced. The hotel had control over the first two aspects and did not disappoint. The dancing was our choice and the band kept the floor full all night, with an electric atmosphere. From accommodation, to food and beverages, and especially Katie and the banqueting team, a sincere and heartfelt thank you for making our big day so special and magical It was perfect

 Great Wedding Venue 

Can’t thank Katie and Breaffy House enough for hosting our wedding. Katie was superb to deal with from start to finish, nothing was any hassle. The hotel itself was brilliant, rooms, food, staff and grounds were second to none. Would highly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding.

Amazing Staff

The service from the day we booked our wedding to the actual wedding day was excellent. In the weeks up to the wedding Katie couldn't do enough for us, every little question we had was sorted. The day of the wedding, Una and the staff made sure everything ran like clockwork. All our guests were complementing the hotel to us, both the food and service in the ballroom and the hotel in general. Our day went off without a hitch and that was mainly down to the amazing staff in the hotel.

Number 1 Destination Venue

I got married in Breaffy House Hotel on Saturday 15th June this year and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue. My husband and I are both from Dublin and first visited Breaffy House Hotel in March 2018. From the moment we drove into the beautiful grounds, we just knew that we would be returning this year along with 250 of our closest friends and family for our big day. My bridal party and I arrived down to the hotel on Friday June 14th, while most of our guests came down on the Saturday morning. The majority of our guests stayed in Breaffy House Hotel, while those with young children stayed in Breaffy House Woods Apartments which are located to the rear of Breaffy House.

Everyone was blown away by the stunning location and first-class service provided by all of the staff members. Upon my arrival, Denice our wedding coordinator took charge and allowed me to sit back, relax and begin to get excited about my big day. From the start of our wedding planning Denice has always went above and beyond. Throughout our weekend she was on site and any questions I had were answered. All of our wedding pictures were taken on the grounds in Breaffy House. Also, for any bridal party the cellar is a real treat. We took a break after dinner to have whiskey and champagne with our bridal party. After a hectic day it was the best way to relax and take everything in. Our family and friends were treated like royalty all weekend from our family meal in The Mulberry Restaurant on the Friday evening to our wedding on the Saturday.

The banqueting room is stunning and our guests are still talking about how beautifully it was decorated. This was all done by Denice and her staff. We had our day 2 BBQ on Sunday. The weather was not great; however, this was no obstacle to Breaffy. Our BBQ was held in the Mulberry Restaurant and the food and service were first class. Our family and friends were made to feel like it was a home away from home all weekend. They did not want to leave.

The food and atmosphere were excellent all weekend. Breaffy, your staff are outstanding; from Christina in reservations, Gary in The Mulberry Restaurant who knew everyone's name by Sunday, Noreen who looked after us at the top table to Declan the night porter who gave our guests a plate of sandwiches in the early hours on both nights. All staff members went above and beyond the call of duty. I arrived to Breaffy as a stranger from Dublin but left with memories that will last a lifetime. My biggest thanks go to Denice. Our day was a fairy tale thanks to her, she is one in a million.

Breaffy, you are the No.1 destination hotel and you now have 250 guests who will definitely return. Many people leave Ireland for a destination wedding but there is no need. I had the ultimate destination for my wedding in Ireland at Breaffy House Hotel. Thank you Breaffy House, we can’t wait to return
