From our first conversation with Dunadry, they were completely on board with our vision for the wedding. Sarah Jane was incredibly diligent, always making sure to let us know all of the available options, while reminding us that it was our special day and we should go with whatever felt right for us. During the planning stages, no request was too much, and every time we contacted Sarah Jane, either by phone or email, she always made time for us.
As vegans, we wanted to find a venue that could host an entirely vegan wedding. We visited several venues around Belfast and mentioned our dietary requirements early on during our visits. Although Dunadry had never hosted an entirely vegan wedding before, there was absolutely no hesitation when we asked if it would be possible. They truly rose to the challenge! We even had a meeting with their head chef, Gregory, who listed so many options for canapés, starters, mains, desserts, and buffets. On the day, the food was outstanding. Every single one of our guests spoke highly of it, and we were completely blown away by the quality, variety, and taste. It far exceeded anything we had imagined.
The venue itself is luxurious in an understated way. Everywhere you look, there’s a timeless beauty that’s elegant without being gaudy or showy. We had our ceremony in the River Room, which comfortably seated our 88 guests. The Secret Garden is a stunning space for wedding photos, and it’s private enough that we didn’t feel self-conscious while the photos were being taken. There are some truly lovely backdrops for photos, and with our wedding in the autumn, the colours were absolutely stunning—especially the Tree of Peace and Unity, which would be an incredible focal point for a wedding at any time of the year.
Every staff member on the day was so kind and helpful. It’s clear that they are experts at hosting weddings. They were accommodating the whole way through, and the guests were amazed by the excellent location, comfort, and services. They felt welcomed and treated like VIPs. The hotel truly gave us everything we needed—a great venue for people to gather, eat, and rest, and it made the perfect backdrop for our special day. The food and service were absolutely amazing.
We stayed at the beautiful and private cottage with the hot tub the night before the wedding and used their spa facilities in the private gym. It had everything we needed and more. Some of our guests even mentioned that they would definitely return to stay. In fact, we have already booked our anniversary there for next year and we’re looking forward to using their amazing secret outdoor spa again.
Dunadry made our wedding unforgettable, and we will always be grateful to them for that.
