Testimonials

After having our wedding here, we are still truly in awe of our whole day taking place in Markree Castle. The venue is absolutely spectacular, words can’t even describe how beautiful it is here. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue is and cosy it was. The food was next level, very generous portions and definitely 5 star quality food. No matter what size wedding you have Markree makes it feel so intimate and romantic. The staff were absolutely wonderful, from every last detail they could not have been more accommodating. Deirdre and Nicolas were so professional throughout the whole wedding planning, with responsive communication and just making everything flow so easy. The team work at Markree is second to none, between the banqueting team to accommodation they are so professional. Aga took care of us on the night and truly made us feel important, she time managed everything which allowed us not only to have some time for ourselves but to make the most of every moment and stick to our schedule. We truly could not have wished for a better venue and team to support us on our special day. It was truly magical, our guests are still talking about how they felt they stepped into “Downton Abbey” and how friendly all the staff were.

We had the most amazing day in Markree Castle. It was like a fairytale! From the moment we saw the venue we fell in love with it. The Wedding team were so attentive and guided us throughout the planning stage. On the wedding day itself, we were taken care of every step of the way. The food was incredible! We still talk about it and our guests gave so many compliments not just for the beautiful venue but for the incredible food too! We were lucky enough to a second night after the wedding to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the beauty of the castle and the surrounding areas. Thank you to the wonderful staff in Markree for helping us have the most amazing time!
