Stunning wedding venue, we had a fantastic time!!
We had our wedding here last month, and I'm struggling to find words to describe it - none of the words I'm coming up with are good enough! The venue is just fabulous - it really gave the whole day a great relaxed atmosphere. We've seen some of the photos from the wedding already, and the venue really makes them - they look so classic, so old world and stunning. John was amazing to deal with all the way up to the wedding - so incredibly dedicated!! We had some very different ideas for what we wanted to do, and he was great for input as to what would and wouldn't work based on his experience. It was never a flat no - always very willing to do anything we wanted, but giving us so much great advice that really made sense, and it really made the preparations so stress-free!! Our room was epic. We had a standalone bathtub and views out across the bay – really beautiful. John and his entire staff are just amazing - we really had the time of our lives, and they ran a flawless weekend. Everyone was so friendly, so cheerful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and I felt so spoiled, all weekend. And the food!! Oh, the food!!! They impressed us all weekend!!! My mouth's watering just remembering it a month later. I think I've fallen in love with their crab cakes (soo good!!) and the steaks that just melted in our mouths. The BBQ wedding feast went down a massive hit with our guests too!

August Wedding 2010
My Fiancé and I got married on the 20th August 2010. We had our Reception at Ballintaggart House, Dingle, Co. Kerry. We chose Ballintaggart House for its Shabby Chic style, the beautiful house itself and the breathtaking views of Dingle Bay and Scellig Rock. The hotel manager and staff were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to ensure we had a very special experience. I really cannot recommend the service enough, in my opinion it superseded a 5 star rating. We were joined by 113 guests who adored the venue as much as we did. We felt like we owned the house and were throwing a fabulous party. (I wish) We bought our wine in France and Ballintaggart House served diligently. The food was a huge talking point for all the right reasons, from the canapés to the meal, the midnight snacks and very very early morning snack!! We ate like kings Breakfast the next morning with our parents, close friends and family was incredibly intimate and we laughed at the previous night’s antics. The celebrations continued with a BBQ at 6pm where the food was as good as the Wedding Day. 80 guests stayed on to celebrate with us. There were sing songs galore ! We left for our honeymoon after 2 nights and it was with very heavy hearts. Our families waved us off as if they lived there – ridiculously cute Ballintaggart House in Dingle will always hold some of our happiest memories.
