Venue Testimonials

Myself and my husband got married in Fitzpatrick Castle on Friday 4th September 2020 during covid...  our wedding coordinator Chelsea (our angel) was absolutely amazing and helped us in so many ways during the lead-up.

From the minute we arrived on the day we felt like the most important people in the world, we can not put into words how amazing all the staff in the hotel were for the entire weekend. 

Getting married during covid-19 was extremely stressful however our wedding was out of this world and that is mainly down to the fantastic team in Fitzpatrick castle hotel. We honestly can not recommend them enough. We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year with them!! 

All our love and thanks,

 

Mr & Mrs Donlon Byrne

We recently had our wedding reception with 25 people in the hotel after several changes of dates. The hotel was so accommodating with all our changes and we would like to thank in particular the wedding coordinator Chelsea and also Sebastian, Lee, and Alisha for all their professionalism and attention they gave us during our few days stay for the wedding.

 

Our sincere thanks also to the chefs who gave us such wonderful food both at the wedding but also throughout our stay. Nothing at all was too much trouble and we are truly grateful to all the staff for a memorable and wonderful wedding despite all the changes due to current restrictions. We cannot express our thanks enough to the hotel for everything and look forward to our return visit.

We couldn't have asked for anything more. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and made the day. Everyone commented on the wonderful service and food. Chelsea is a fantastic coordinator and was very helpful over email given that we live abroad. The venue is beautiful, great for a Dublin wedding.

Fantastic hotel. Chelsea was just amazing at planning and coordinating everything, both before and on the day. The banqueting staff was exceptional, everyone complimented the food and service and the wonderful setting. The hotel staff are excellent and couldn’t do enough to make sure everything was perfect for the bridal party and the guests. The rooms were beautiful. So many guests said it was the best wedding ever. We had a wonderful day. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much to all the staff for making it so special. As a very proud father, I would like to thank you, the staff, and the hotel for giving my family the most fantastic wedding day on Saturday 14 September. From the moment we arrived we were met by the most courteous porter who helped us to book in and brought us to the bridal suite to leave the happy couple's clothes, and then brought us to our own room. On our way down to the blessing, we were met by Chelsea our wedding coordinator who as usual put us at ease and explained to us how the day would proceed. From the dungeon to the wedding hall the staff that worked on our son's big day went far beyond our expectations. A huge thank you to the most amazing hotel staff I have ever met. Huge thank you to everyone

Hi Chelsea,

Just wanted to send you a message to say a huge thank you for all your help with the wedding. The day & night was amazing. We couldn't have done it without you. The service we received was unreal and all of our guests have been raving about the day and how it was the best wedding they had been to. Honestly hats off to you, you played an absolute blinder. But thank you so much again for the best day ever. You are amazing at what you do and we really appreciate it.

We just recently held our wedding reception at Fitzpatrick’s and were so impressed with everything, they welcome you like family and made our day so special. From all of the positive feedback from our guests, one observation came through again and again; how amazingly kind and helpful all the staff at Fitzpatrick’s were. During the planning process, Jill was absolutely fantastic and we can't recommend the hotel and staff highly enough. The rooms in the old part of the castle are stunning, we especially loved the secret passage connecting two rooms! The views of Dublin are incredible and it’s situated right beside Killiney Hill and Dalkey. Their superb food was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel and it absolutely lived up to our expectations on the day! We had the most beautiful day and look forward to many happy visits in years to come.

We had our wedding reception in the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in September 2018. Now it’s all over, we are sure that we made the right choice. Jill was a delight to deal with and made the whole process of organizing our wedding as easy as possible for us. The setting was ideal, and we got great compliments from our guests about the food. The gin and prosecco bars at the pre-dinner reception also got lots of favourable mentions. Rob directed proceedings expertly on the day, and John ensured service was of the standard you would expect from a top class hotel. Everything went as well as we could possibly have expected. Thanks to all the team at Fitzpatrick Castle, especially your talented chefs, for helping to make it a magical day!

I have been getting so many messages about how fantastic the venue & staff were! My friends are raving about the food, the wine, the canapes, the staff and the room itself. I am beyond thrilled with how everything went and will be sure to recommend to everyone as the most amazing venue! Our sincerest thanks and best wishes.

We had the pleasure of visiting the Fitzpatrick few times over the past year and all the time it was a great experience.

We spent almost an entire week before our wedding day and our families and friends stayed at the Hotel too…we always felt like at home.

We are a big Italian/American/Irish family and we had people coming from all over the World and the team at the Hotel was extremely patient, helpful and smiling. Every single staff member we met, we talked to or we requested something to, had the time to smile, to give us the best answer or to make sure everything was looked after!!

The attention to details from everyone was impeccable from the food to the rooms, we loved everything single bit of everything….

We would do it all over again….best day of our lives!

Thanks Fitzpatrick’s!

Francesca and Brian

Dear Jill,

We wanted to send you this email to uncontrollably thank you for all your work help and time over the last year in the build up to our big day...

You really out did yourself and helped us to have the most amazing day.

I really think you have a huge future in the wedding planning business and I think Fitzpatrick’s castle have found themselves a real gem on their hands...

We couldn’t recommend you any more to anyone else as a wedding planner.

You went above and beyond for us and for that I thank you so much.

We thank you so much for making our special day extra special with all the help you put in.

You and the team should be so proud of how well everything went we couldn’t find anything to fault with anything... best party ever

We had our wedding here on the 3rd August 2017. On the day and in the lead up to the wedding, our wedding coordinator Jill went above and beyond to ensure that we had as perfect a day as possible. Fitzpatrick’s is a stunning venue and the hotel really knows how to make the most of its surroundings! We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather so the drinks reception was set up in the outside and indoor areas. The drinks reception was fabulous and feedback from guests was that the service was above and beyond, in particular a lot of guests commented on how helpful John was throughout the day and night. In the build up to the wedding Jill was so accommodating with our requests and in particular in helping facilitate our entertainment throughout the day, nothing was too much. One the day of our food tasting we felt like royalty (fitting for the castle!!) Every manager introduced themselves to us and made us feel at home, Chris the general manager was particularly welcoming. The Head Chef, Sean, is a gas man and one of the reasons we chose this hotel in the first place, his reputation is second to none and his food was amazing. We had a few particular dietary requirements and again, nothing was a problem. The food on the day was fantastic and again we received a lot of compliments about the quality and quantity of food! One of our toughest decisions was choosing our Bridal Suite but we agreed on the room with the stunning views over Dublin Bay. The guest rooms are beautiful as well. Service at breakfast the following morning was again superb and John greeting us with a glass of champagne was a lovely surprise. All in all, we would highly recommend Fitzpatrick's as a superb wedding hotel and hotel in general! We are very much looking forward to returning very soon for afternoon tea and visits to the restaurant.

Choosing a hotel for a wedding can be a daunting task but it was made very easy for us with the wonderful staff and ambiance in Fitzpatrick's Castle Hotel

Best Wedding Venue in Dublin!

We were married here in July of this year, what an amazing the day – the attention to detail from the team at Fitzpatrick’s is outstanding – the setting is beautiful, the room stunning… normally when you get food supplied in this quantities its of average quality – not the case with Fitzpatrick’s the food is outstanding! I Researched many hotels but kept on coming back to the castle and have to say we were delighted with our choice, they couldn’t help us enough and really made us feel so special – Jill as the wedding coordinator was superb and big thanks to her and all the staff for making our special day extra special.

It was an absolute pleasure for ourselves to have Jill and Sarah looking after us over the last year and a half, I'm sure not a lot of people would have

had the both of you looking after us,

Everything over the last year and a half all came down to a day and a half of pure perfection thank you so much over all, we couldn't fault you guys in the hotel from the kitchen to the service in the hotel,...amazing! We enjoyed every minute of it

Thank you so much again.

We had our wedding at the castle hotel on December 30, 2016. We had 65 guests from out of the country staying at the hotel for 3 to 5 days. We loved all of the staff in every area of the hotel. The food was excellent and the accommodations for all of our guests was great.

Our wedding was perfect thanks to the help of Sarah Wolfe and all of the staff. The owner and managers of the hotel were present to ensure a welcoming and beautiful environment. It was.

Fitzpatrick Castle is a great venue for a combination wedding and guest lodging. Thank you all!

John and Ryan

We had our Wedding day here on December 22nd 2016. A winter wedding is a fairy-tale location! We dealt with the lovely Sarah Wolfe, who was amazing at planning everything for us. We are living abroad and were quite nervous of planning the wedding from afar, however this was NO issue! For the build up to the big day you thought of everything and not once did i hear a no from you and your team. Nothing was too big or to small! You went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank you enough! Our day went so smoothly i just couldn't believe it. The rooms we stayed in were top notch and beautiful. The room for the day was stunning and just perfect! You really made all our ideas and plans come to life. The staff were so friendly and helpful it was hard to say goodbye. Everyone raved about the food, it was exceptional! Big thank you to Sean and the team! It really did kick of our Christmas and we are delighted to have chosen you as our venue. I would highly encourage other couples to pick you for their special day, i cannot fault anything! Thank you so much for the best day of our lives!

Sarah

We would like to Thank you and the staff at Fitzpatrick 's Killiney Castle for making our Wedding day a wonderful occasion.

From start to finish the day went perfectly. The Johnathan Swift room was ideal for our civil ceremony with 55 guests.

Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food served at the reception in Pj's restaurant was.

The guests and our friends who were invited to evening celebration really enjoyed the music provided by Mikey McDonnell in the Dungeon bar that evening.

Sarah, your help and guidance was invaluable in making the day the success that it was. We were able to relax and really enjoy the day.

We would be very happy to recommend Fitzpatrick's Killiney Castle as a Wedding venue.

Thank you again

Carmel and James

Hi Sarah,

Sorry for the lateness in this email. I just want to say thank you to you and all the staff for everything that you guys did for us on our wedding on the 9th September. Everything went according to plan and we couldn't have asked from anymore from you guys. It was a smashing day and all our quests are still raving about the food and venue (you may see us again at another wedding there!!).

Thanks again,

Aisling & Seán

 Hi Sarah,

Just a quick email to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the staff at Fitzpatricks for the wonderful day you all ensured me had on Thursday. Myself and Mikey couldn't have asked for it to be any more perfect. The room was done beautifully, the food was divine and the staff were exceptional. A special mention must go to Nick who was so attentive and looked after us so well. You guys definitely do weddings well! We had numerous compliments on the day from our guests saying it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to, and a lot of that was down to you.

Again, huge thanks!

Ashling and Michael Duffy

Dear Mairead,

Thank you so much to you and everyone at the Castle. You really made our day so special. Everyone commented that it was either the best or one of the best weddings that they'd ever been to and we know that this is in no small part down to the phenomenal effort of Sean and his team in the kitchen, Gavin, the piper, Mark (so nice and friendly), Rob (very cool dude, so nice and attentive throughout), bar staff, Jenna, waiting staff, especially John who everyone at the top table loved, yourself...and of course a very special tribute to Sarah who was just wonderful throughout, a real pro and a heart of gold - she was always there for us, nothing was too big or too small and she covered our asses (especially leaving the Americans off of our table plans) - played a blinder - definitely the world's best wedding coordinator ! That was such a sweet thing that Sarah said about us too. We hope to have gained a friend for life in her, please ask her to keep touch 😍. Miriad and I loved the day (both winter garden rooms and the Albert and Behan were perfectly set up), the night and the room and breakfast in bed, down to checkout...Miriad loved the day too - she says that she felt like a model, which is great as my wife looked absolutely stunning - you really did surpass all expectations! We wish we could relive the day again. Looking forward to seeing our wedding video of the big day and the anniversary dinner in the castle 😁

 

Please let me know if you would like us to post a review anywhere - on the strength of such an amazing night I would be surprised if you don't get another booking or two...

Thanks so much again

Miriad and Kevin

Hi Sarah,

I hope you are well.

I just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much for looking after us so well on our Wedding Day. 

We are just back from Honeymoon now and back to reality. 

The Hotel was fabulous - the room was set up gorgeous and the staff were brilliant. A special thanks to yourself and Liam for the personalised care & attention.

The food was also fabulous and we have had many of our guests raving about it so please pass on our compliments to the chef.

Again, thank you so much for everything. 

Kind Regards,

Julie Valentine - Doyle (trying to get used to the new name!) & Andrew

Hi Sarah

After a busy summer post wedding we are finally getting around to sending this email.  We just want to say a huge thanks to both of you and all the team in Fitzpatrick Castle for looking after our special day.

 It was daunting booking the venue from Canada but the communication was so good, it made it so much easier.  Any query, big or small, was replied to promptly by Sarah and Alicia.

 We felt we got really special treatment when we popped into the castle in the weeks before the wedding and for our tasting. You made us feel so welcome, especially Gavin with his cheesy lines!!

 On the day of the wedding the reception was run with impressive professionalism by Liam and the food was top notch thanks to Sean and his team. There was a large portion of guests commented that it was the finest wedding meal that they have had. In addition, we heard so many people remark on how great the service was and how attentive the staff were.

Overall we can't speak highly enough of the whole experience and would have no hesitation in recommending Fitzpatrick's for an amazing wedding experience.

 We are looking forward to returning for a night when we are back in Ireland again.

 Best wishes, 

Claire and Fergal Corbett

Hi Sarah,

I am so sorry I am sending this email so late to you but only back from honeymoon two weeks and don't know where the time has gone. I just wanted to say thank you so so much for an absolutely brilliant day on the 20th December. We had the best day ever and the venue had everything to do with it. All our friends and family were raving about the venue and how beautiful it was. The food was unbelievable, something people are still talking about, which is rare as most people forget the food at a wedding. The staff were unbelievably helpful and professional, in particular Rob Walsh. He was a pleasure to deal with. 

Thank you for all the hard work you put in. The room was gorgeous and there is not one thing I could fault. You were a brilliant help in the weeks leading up to the wedding and so helpful. I will most definitely have an event again in Killiney Castle in the future and I know a lot of family and friends will consider it too. 

I hope you are keeping well and thank you again for everything. I hope some day in the future I will be lucky enough to have you organise an event for me again.

Ashling

Hello Alicia and Eithne,

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Fitzpatrick Castle for playing a key part in making our wedding the most amazing day imaginable.  

 From the initially meetings with Monica, Eilish and yourself we knew that we were in good hands for what was to be a fantastic day. From the many coffees and chats we had about the detail of what we wanted and what we dreamed of, nothing was ever a problem and everything was possible. The tasting before the wedding was really when we knew that we had picked a great venue. Sean’s patience on the customised menu and Keith’s help about how to handle the fireworks really helped us feel at ease about it all.

 On the day, everything came together like a dream. The attention to detail was second to none. The staff, food, service and the castle itself was flawless. Friends and family are still talking about the wedding and how the food was amazing, the staff were sociable and friendly, the venue was perfect and how it all came together like clockwork. Keith and all the staff went well beyond their job to ensure we and our guests wanted for nothing on the day. Eithne herself made sure that we were happy a few times during the day which ensured us that we definitely picked the right venue for our wedding.

 I would have no problem whatsoever in recommending Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel for to any newly engaged couples or potential clients for any kind of event they are planning on having at the castle. The one regret is that we can’t do it all over again. I wouldn’t change a thing!

 We have just bought a house in the Killiney area and plan on becoming regulars at the Castle, for what is a dream venue for any occasion that has stood the test of time.

 Helen & William Conway

We just wanted to say thank you again for being such a great support throughout our wedding process and particularly on the day itself. Everyone had an amazing time and went away so happy. We hope to see you again on our next visit to the Castle.

Many Thanks

Linda & Graeme

Dear Eilish

We would like to thank you and your team for such wonderful attention leading up to the celebration, on the day of the wedding itself and on the days following, when our guests continued to enjoy the hospitality and professional cossetting of Fitzpatrick's Castle Hotel. Many of our guests commented on the care and comfort they received, the good humour of the staff and many other anecdotes, not least of them including the chasing of the AirCoach by a member of staff to bring some badly needed cups of coffee! Our meal on the day was perfect and all credit goes to Sean, Nicky & Keith for their part in making an already happy day a very memorable one. Finally, we would like to thank you for your unfailing patience in addressing the dietary needs and allergies of our guests and for your unique contribution to the elegance and enjoyment of the occasion.

Kind regards

Khalida & Greg Traynor

Hi Eilish, Sandra & Nicky,

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the Castle team for looking after our special day. Everything on the day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. Nothing was too much trouble for you and the team who looked after all our details during and towards the build up of the day. From start to finish you all made it very easy, enjoyable and smooth to plan.

A massive thank you to Sean for the amazing food also. I have to say the nicest food I have tasted at any wedding i've been to before. The presentation, quality and service was second to none. Also thanks to Syed who ensured the day ran smoothly.

You all went above and beyond, even looking after the early check ins for the family travelling over from the UK and ensuring that they had a room ready on arrival, it was very much appreciated.

So many family members and friends complimented the hotel and the way everything was dealt with over our wedding weekend and commented on how friendly and polite every staff member was who they crossed paths with.

It really helped and made me at ease that I didn't have to worry about our reception as I knew it was all taken care of and all in good hands and it made the planning even more enjoyable that our minds were at ease so thank you all.

I have no problem recommending the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel for any function, family event or even just a weekend away. My only negative is that we can't do the whole day all over again. Other than this I cannot fault this hotel at all.

Once again, thank you so much

Helen & Robbie Smyth

Hi Eilish

Thank you so much for all of your help with the planning and organisation of the wedding. We had a fantastic day, it was everything we wished for and more. This was all down to the time, effort and commitment that you and Monica put in. The service and food was amazing on the day and everyone commented on them. We were so impressed with the attention to detail on the day and how everything we had asked for was in place...it was so nice to see it all come together. Thank you so much again!

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the staff at Fitzpatricks. We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality we received. Every single staff member that we had the pleasure of meeting did their job with a smaile on their face, they went above and beyond with any request we had and we just wanted to say thank you for that. We had an amazing day and everything went to plan so thank you for organising everything.

Dear Eilish,

We just wanted to write to you to express our appreciation for the exceptional service and attention to detail we received from you during Sarah & Dara's wedding. As you can imagine we had visited a number of wedding fairs before we went to Fitzpatricks. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and knew that the venue was decided. Syed was the victim chosen to deal with us! He put everyone at ease immediately and we were delighted to know that he would be there on the day.

When we came to 'hammer out the deal' we enjoyed dealing with you enormously. Everything we needed was clarified and provided as requested. Prompt emails left no element of doubt. Nowhere has sorted our Aunty Margaret's dinner correctly before! Thanks again - it is details like this that make all the difference. All our guests said it was the 'best wedding they were ever at'!. They complimented the food and staff and just the nice atmosphere in the hotel. 

Again a personal 'thank you' to you and Syed - it was a pleasure to deal with you. We will be recommending you to everyone we know and look forward to dealing with you again.

All our best wishes for the future

Damien & Irene Richardson

Hi Eilish,

We just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you so much for all your help and advice for our wedding on the 24th August. The reception room looked beautiful, and was even nicer thank I had imagined it to be, the attention to detail was incredible, even the boys thought it was nice!!

We had the most amazing day ever even though it rained but was so proud to have the Castle in our everlasting photos. The service from all the staff on the day was second to none, the food was the best ever. The wine & champers went down very well too! I very much wanted to show our overseas visitors what an Irish welcome was all about and boy did they get it.

All the best

Dear Nicky

We met on the 10th December when we arrived at the Castle to celebrate our wedding and now that we are back from our honeymoon we wanted to take the time to contact you directly. From the very beginning, our experience at the hotel has been a complete pleasure. We met with Alicia, who we really couldn't say enough about. She is so efficient, so calm and completely down to earth which was so greatly appreciated particularly as the stress levels of organising a wedding increased over the last couple of weeks. We knew we'd made absolutely the right choice to have our wedding at the Castle when Alicia recognised us at the Wedding Fair and called us by name having only met us once before. Furthermore, the staff on the day were also extremely efficient and friendly - we must also mention Syed who was fantastic both on the day and during our tasting. We have had nothing but compliments on the room and of course the food which was so well presented by Sean and the team to our guests. We had an amazing day and enjoyed every minute of it so please accept our thanks and pass on our praise and gratitude to Alicia and the rest of the team at the hotel.

Adrian & Debbie

We are just back from honeymoon and i just wanted to drop you and the staff an email to thank you for all your help on the wedding day. It was a great day and everyone commented on how well everything was and went off with no issues at all. A big thank you to you and Syed especially. Syed was brilliant on the day and everything ran so smoothly. Everyone was raving about the food as it was fabulous especially the beef.

Thanks again for all your help

Anton & Maeve Clancy

To Eilish and the Staff of Fitzpatrick Castle,

I am writing to express my gratitude for the absolutely fantastic wedding myself and my husband Ian had at the Castle on Saturday 26th November 2011. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the delicious food to the beautiful reception area to the exquisite bridal suite but most of all we were so impressed by the staff. Everybody, from reception staff to banqueting staff to the bar staff to the breakfast and waiting staff, were exceptionially friendly, professional and helpful. You couldn't do enough for us or our guests, many of whom stayed for the entire weekend. 

Over a third of our wedding party came from abroad and they were absolutely thrilled with the venue, the accommodation, the food but above all the warm welcome. Our wedding served as a promotional event for the Castle as all our guests said that they would stay in the Castle again when they come back to Ireland and locals said they would highly recommend Fitzpatrick Castle as a wedding venue.

Every single guest stated that the exquisite meal you served up was the best food they had ever tasted at a wedding and this included some guests who are well used to fine dining. The way the beef was presented and carved in the reception room was such a lovely touch. People were so impressed that the waiting staff came around with seconds on the night. The vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection and every single course was a culinary success.

I would particularly like to mention the events manager Syed who was so attentive on the day and on the morning after. Syed, you are truly gifted when it comes to this area of work and we felt completely relaxed on the day as we knew we were in safe hands. 

How could i send a letter of thanks without mentioning Eilish, our wedding angel!! From the moment we walked through the doors of Fitzpatrick Castle during our search for the perfect wedding venue we knew we were onto a winner with Eilish. Eilish, you are professional, super efficient and a wealth of knowledge and sensible suggestions which was a godsend when Bridezilla kicked in and i was getting bogged down with the annoying little details of wedding planning. You could not do enough for myself and Ian. No problem or thought was too small to bring to your attention and i never felt like i was annoying you or being silly, again a huge asset to an inexperienced bride to be. You were calm and patient as the wedding drew closer and closer and you stayed friendly and very human at all times so i felt like i was planning my wedding with a very helpful close friend. It was so lovely to see you there on the day of my wedding. You even played with my daughter Beth who was acting up during the best man's speech. These little acts make all the difference to a couple on their special day and this is what sets you and the staff at Fitzpatrick Castle apart from all the rest. Eilish, you are truly worth your weight in gold and we will never forget all you did for us.

Fitzpatrick Castle will always remain special to myself & Ian as it provided our magical fairytale setting on one of the most important days of our lives. We will be popping back in regularly, if only for a cup of coffee, to soak in the warm welcoming atmosphere and remind ourselves of the beautiful day we had. We both want to extend a huge thank you to all the staff as you are what makes Fitzpatrick Castle what it is, a wonderful venue that has stood the test of time.

Kindest regards,

Lisa & Ian Doyle

Dear Eilish

Thank you so much to you and Syed and all the staff who were involved in making our day so beautiful, everything was amazing, the food, everything. As you know a lot of our families had never attended a civil ceremony before so they didn't know what to expect and they were so surprised at how lovely it all was, the venue lends itself beautifully to it. We didn't get to taste the canapes at the drinks reception but we believe they were fantastic! As for the actual meal, again fantastic and such generous portions, and as you promised no shortage of wine, again we heard back from lots of our geusts.

Thank you also for all your patience with our ever changing numbers over the months coming up to it. Also the amount of fabulous comments we heard about the bedrooms was unbelieveable.

Please pass on our personal thanks to Syed who was so professional and helpful on the day. Thanks again for everything and we look forward to coming back for our first anniversary.

Take care

Pauline & Paddy Corkery

Hi Eilish

Myself and James want to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff at the Castle for everything all of you did in the run up to and on our wedding day. Everything was just perfect on the day (even the sun shone!), the staff could not have been more helpful and all our guests are still talking about the wonderful food on the day. 

A special thank you from myself to you Eilish for absolutely everything! I honestly couldn't have planned my perfect day without your help, every panicked email and phone call you answered and put my mind at ease, i really can't thank you enough.

Hi Eilish

Our special thanks to you and all the team for the wonderful hospitality, food and service you provided for our Civil Partnership ceremony and subsequent celebrations.

Our appreciation of the overall standard and exemplary service we received on the day cannot be overstated. Every staff member was friendly, courteous and considerate. We appreciate their effort in making our special day so wonderful.

We received so many compliments from our guests about the quality of service you provided and the fantastic food, and it was noted that the staff really looked after us. It is a great testimony that our guests were so complimentary of everything and that they all really enjoyed the day too.

We especially want to thank you Eilish for your help during the planning stages and on the day. Your experience and organisational skills really made a difference in how the whole event came together so smoothly. You were really proficient as a wedding co-ordinator and ensured that we had considered every last detail. You helped us tailor the package to suit and selecting the right rooms for the occasion. You made the whole event stress free as we were confident that you had everything under control. You have a great personality and sense of humour and made us feel totally at ease. You also make some great recommendations for the event and nothing was too much trouble. We have to say that it was an absolute pleasure working with you from the start.

Thank you again for your considerate service, we are delighted we chose Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel for the wedding and we will be certain to recommend to our friends and business associates.

Hi Eilish,

Myself & Ian would like to say a big thank you to you for making our day so special. Everything flowed so well and the day was completely stress free, so a big thanks to you and your colleagues.

Dear Nicky,

We wish to thank most sincerely all of the staff at Fitzpatricks Castle for making Anna & Stephen's wedding day so special. Particularly, we wish to thank Syed, who from our first visit was extremely helpful - nothing was too much trouble! He, with the help of all the catering staff, ensured that the day went very smoothly and made it a really enjoyable occasion.

We also wish to thank Eilish for her help with the preparations for the Big Day. The attention to detail was brilliant! We very much appreciate her follow-up call after the event to ask how we had enjoyed the day. Once again, Pat and I on behalf of Anna & Stephen say a big THANK YOU to all who made it such a memorable occasion. You are truly specialists in the field.

Kind regards

Brid Jennings

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ftizpatrick Castle to anyone. From start to finish both Eilish & Simon made the experience of organising and holding our wedding as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! Food was fantastic also so another thanks to the Chef! All our guests had a fantastic time and nobody wanted to leave after our two night stay. Hopefully we will be back soon.

Hi Eilish,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for everything for the wedding. We had an absolutely spectacular day and the hotel was simply outstanding, the service, the food, everything was just brilliant particularly the food. Many of our guests commented on the food and it was a really excellent meal so many thanks to the chef in charge that night!!

Fortune who was looking after the function was very attentive and lovely to deal with, she made sure we had everything we needed and also Evelin who was looking after the wine was excellent. We are really so pleased with how everything went and just wanted to thank you for helping us arrange all the smaller details, i think they paid off on the day, it was just magical!

Thanks Again

We got married on 30th December 2010 in the Castle and had a NYE bash the night after in the Dungeon Bar. Most of our guests stayed both nights and it was the most magical few days. The rooms were stunning and each guest was made feel so special. Our wedding suite was beautiful and the perfect place to retire to at the end of each day.

We have been blown away by the staff at Fitzpatricks, from the start Eilish and her team have guided and reassured us. They organised the most beautiful and perfect day for us. We had a tough time personally in the run up to the wedding and they were so sensitive and kept things ticking over. It was like having a huge extended family rallying around us!

Nicky, Eilish and the team made sure that everything was so perfect on our wedding day. The food and the atmosphere were just incredible and each detail was catered for. We have just been bowled over by the level of professionalism at this hotel and we look forward to visiting them regularly over a glass of bubbly to reminisce on our special few days.

Thank you all so much

Ben & Sinead Larter

Hi Eilish,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the amazing day we had in Killiney Castle. Everything went so smoothly for us and we greatly appreciate all the hard work that you did. Also to Syed, Simon and the rest of the staff on the day - they were fantastic. Our guests were delighted with the food on the day so also a big thank you to Sean for all his hard work.

We had a fantastic day and we will always recommend Killiney Castle to our friends and family for any future events.

Thanks again

Niamh & Patrick Murdock

Nicky,

On behalf of both Tracy & myself i would just like to say an immense thank you for all you and the entire Fitzpatrick's team did to ensure that our wedding day was a most memorable one. From the planning stage with Eilish to the actual day with Syed, Fortune and the team we could not find a single fault. From day one Eilish was super efficient and made sure that we had every last detail covered. She helped ensure that we had not missed anything out too. A big thank you to Syed as well for all his help on the actual day. It seemed he was constantly working - from the evening before, on the day and at breakfast the following day. His personal touch ensured our every need was catered for. Please also pass on my sincere thanks to my fellow Zimbabwean Fortune who was brilliant at her job! I did not get to personally meet any of your kitchen team but they probably deserve the biggest thanks of all. The food was top-notch and still to this day have had people talking about how delicious the roast beef was. Most of the guests work in hotels themselves so not the easiest bunch to please.

Tracy & Russell Hadley

Hi Syed,

Both Rachel & myself would like to express our sincere ‘thanks’ to you and the team at Fitzpatrick’s for providing us with a perfect wedding day on the 30th December. The day went perfectly for us and we were overwhelmed by the whole day and excellent treatment by the staff at Fitzpatrick’s.

We have received nothing but rave reviews about the hotel, the service and, most of all, the food. Our compliments go to you and the team (including Martin & Chef) for having such fantastic and professional set up which made the day so good & easy for us and our guests on the day.

Syed, it really was a pleasure to deal with you direct. Your professional and courteous approach to all matters reflects well both on you and the Fitzpatrick’s group and I would like if you could forward this email to whoever is best to receive this feedback on your behalf. Positive feedback can always be few and far between whereas complaints are easily heard.

Alicia & Jenna, many thanks to you both as you had all the finer details in hand and every response to any email/question was received almost right away, I really can’t thank you both enough.

Also, on a separate but related note we stayed in Fitzpatrick’s Manhattan for a few nights on the way home and had a fantastic time there. We were provided with a suite on arrival and it really rounded off our honeymoon perfectly.

I wish you a very happy and prosperous 2009

Thanks again

Kind regards Shay & Rachel

Hi Alicia,

We just wanted to send you an email to thank you and your team, in particular Martin, for an excellent wedding. We are just back from honeymoon and have been catching up with our friends and family and they have all said that the wedding was great and that they were impressed by the hotel.

In particular, we really appreciated your assistance in the run up to the wedding and also on the day your organisation was invaluable and made the organising of the wedding much easier than it would have been otherwise! Further, Martin was a real trooper on the day and was attentive to our every need. He ensured that the day ran very smoothly and this was noticed by not just us but by our guests too.

We are really pleased that we chose to have the wedding at Fitzpatrick’s.

Thanks again and please do pass on our thanks to Martin and his team – excellent service all round.

With best wishes,

Sarah and Tom

Hi Alicia,

Hope your keeping well!

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for all your work with our wedding. It was a brilliant day and I can safely say the most resounding comment I’ve heard from the guests was how beautiful the food was and the amazing service.

I’d especially like to thank yourself, Martin and Fortune for really looking after us. I have never been to a wedding where the hotel staff ensured everything flowed so smoothly and I didn’t see anyone doing anything but smile.

Thanks again for absolutely everything! All your efforts were very much appreciated!

Kindest regards

Julie
