Absolutely first class property with spectacular staff. We went for a wedding and it was an exceptional reception with gorgeous grounds.

Amazing stay at this beautiful hotel. Stayed to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were so well looked after from the moment we arrived until we left. Great restaurant experience in Kathleens Kitchen and very nice time relaxing in the great leisure facilities. Can't wait to return.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Orla recently for our mutual clients destination wedding for a USA couple.
Orla and all the team involved were top class to work with.
The whole operation was extremely well run and their communication, co-operation and approach were of a very high standard. To work alongside efficient and experienced staff makes things work so smoothly and is so enjoyable.
When everyone pulls together to ensure the couple have the best day ever, this makes it so wonderful to be a part of, and witness.
Carton House is a venue I would highly recommend for a wedding, the attention and service really did impress me.
A top favourite venue of mine for the location, history, grounds, design and ambience. This stunning venue certainly gives the wow factor, while creating fond memories for any occasion.
Thank you very much Orla and all the fabulous team - you were fantastic. I do hope we all get to work together on another wedding.

“We walk in as friends and we leave as family,” said by Brian, the most resourceful and welcoming concierge we have ever encountered.
We had our destination wedding at the Carton House and it is hard to put into words to describe the most wonderful, fairytale week of our lives, however, that quote sums it up perfectly when Brian shared with us on our last day at the Carton House.
When I first stepped foot on the grounds of the Carton House 7 years ago, I said I want to get married here one day and I am so happy I followed my dream because there is truly something so unique about the estate that nowhere else has.
From the moment we started planning our 3 day wedding events with the Carton House, the experience was beyond 5 star. It truly is the people that make the experience and each and every one of the Carton House staff we encountered throughout our week went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable experience and perfect wedding. Nothing beats Irish hospitality, but the Carton House staff takes it to a whole other level.
There was not ONE hiccup during our events and we owe that all to the Carton House staff as they were so thoughtful in their planning and understanding our vision/expectations for the events but to put it simply, they all exceeded ANY expectations.
We have the deepest gratitude for Orla and Claire for assisting us in planning our wedding events and bringing them so beautifully to life!! They are top class on planning events and none of this would be possible without them.
Ellen, front of house manager, deserves an award for being absolutely extraordinary in creating the best experience for our guests the moment they arrived on property. She was always asking how she can be helpful and each of our guests were greeted by her welcoming hospitality and all raved about her sincerity.
Thomas, Food & Bev Director, throughout the week ensured all the logistical side of our events were going smoothly and was our right hand man on the day of our wedding. He was ON IT and probably handled so many things behind the scenes that we never even saw. We were able to be fully present at our own wedding with our guests because of Thomas!! Thomas even separately gave me and my husband a confident “you got this” nod before our walks down the aisle!
Katie, the Banquet Captain, oversaw the logistics as well on our wedding day and executed our day flawlessly. She was there when I was walking down the aisle all the way to managing all the courses as they came out for our dinner. All the guests commented how smoothly everything was running and we owe a huge thanks to Katie!
Executive Chef Gary curated the most delicious dining experience for our guests. We still dream of the warm goat cheese salad on our wedding day that our guests won’t stop talking about!! He is service oriented and creates beautiful and tasty dishes.
Our events in the Carriage House for our welcome dinner, along with afternoon tea in the Gold Salon were flawless and so efficiently ran by the staff! The guests are still raving about the BBQ on the deck and overall good vibes of the Carriage House, as well as a “Bridgerton” type of afternoon in the Gold Salon with the best service.
I could write pages on each and every one of the staff as they all deserve a special shoutout. As well as how STUNNING the Carton House is. We are COUNTING down until we can return to the Carton House for our 1st anniversary so we can spend time with the staff who became our family!!!

"Best Wedding Ever!"
We had loads of international guests at our wedding and everyone was absolutely blown away with how amazing Carton House was. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Not only was the venue spectacular, the old house and the rose garden in particular, but the whole staff were simply amazing. A huge thank you to Fionnuala the wedding planner who made the day go that much smoother. I can safely say you will not regret booking your wedding at Carton House.
