I cannot say enough good things about how incredible hosting our destination wedding at Markree Castle was! We are from NJ and decided to host our wedding at a castle in Ireland because, why not! From the initial planning to the execution day-of, Deirdre and her team were a well-oiled machine! They made the entire planning process a breeze, far easier than I think it would have been in the states. Payments were simple and always accurate. Coordinating vendors was so simple because they all already knew Markree, and then the Markree team handled all the coordination of the set-up, and logistics – I didn’t need to be consulted at all. Day-of, the Markree team was always there and ready to help but was able to strike the perfect balance of being available but not interrupting the getting ready process or any of the festivities. They perfectly coordinated moving our guests from room to room, they brought out each phase of the food at the perfect time, they truly made our day as fun and stress-free as possible. And yes, the venue is JUST as incredible as all the photos on the website, if not better! It couldn’t have been a more perfect venue for our fairytale wedding! On top of all of that, the following morning my toddler niece got really sick and Deirdre not only instructed her parents on how to get to the hospital, but called ahead to let them know she had guests coming and packed up breakfast for them so they wouldn’t be starving all morning. The Markree team truly goes above and beyond in all aspects and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering hosting their wedding, whether it is a destination or not, in Ireland! We had the most perfect wedding, all thanks to the Markree team!
