- SSteph and Francis02/09/2022Amazing venue Amazing venueWhere do I start?! I booked Galgorm as I knew my many international guests would be sorted for dinner and accommodation. When it came to our three day wedding (pre drinks, wedding and post wedding bbq) Galgorm exceeded all of our expectations. Nothing was too much for planner Jonathan, and he even managed to print us out last min table place cards when I’d forgotten to do so. Rebekah was our MOC and without her the day definitely wouldn’t have run so smoothly. The guests could not stop raving about the venues facilities, how beautiful it was, how good the food was and how great a stay they had. Literally could not have dreamt for such a well run weekend. At the beginning of my search I was adamant I didn’t want a venue that ran several weddings on the same day (which Galgorm do) but even though there was a wedding happening alongside ours, they coordinated so well no one even noticed!! Thank you Galgorm for all the special touches!!!! Where do I start?! I booked Galgorm as I knew my many international guests would be sorted for dinner and accommodation.

- CClaire & Kevin04/11/2018Best day ever!Best day ever!The day was beyond everything we could have ever imagined. From our driver David who was really attentive, and even timed my leaving of the house perfectly to miss the rain, to Caoimhe who looked after us all day at the resort and was the loveliest person ever. She was the star of the day and nothing was too big an ask for her, she even changed my shoes when my feet started to ache! The only downside was that the day went far too quickly! Wish we could do it all again.The day was beyond everything we could have ever imagined.
