Read reviews from our happy couples who held their special day at Millbrook Lodge.


Just sending a message of appreciation for everything use did for our wedding there on Thursday. I can’t express enough how thankful we are that we picked Millbrook to have our wedding. From start to finish, everything was amazing, and oh my goodness, FIONA is absolutely made for the job. What an amazing job she does! Every single member of both my family and Chris’s has complimented her on what an amazing job she did on our wedding day.  She fixed anything that went wrong, sorted out any worries I had, kept me calm and relaxed, and answered any questions I had. 

The food service was OUTSTANDING! Massive compliments to the chef. It went down amazingly, and it was so lovely, fresh, and warm. It tasted beautiful. The servers were absolutely brilliant, too — very interactive and professional! 
The reception staff for always answering my email questions and phone call questions. 

And, of course, Gerty, for always being at the other end of the phone or email, organizing everything, and making all the wedding plans—it couldn’t have happened without you! 

I could not have asked for a better wedding venue or wedding day, and anyone who follows me and has their wedding with us is very lucky and will not regret it!! 

I wish I could go back and do it all again!! 

Many Many Thanks

Cormac and myself just wanted to say a massive thank you for our beautiful Wedding. Thanks for your patience and guidance in our planning. On the day Fiona went over and above, the service was amazing from start to finish and the room and grounds looked stunning.

Where do I start? We had an incredible day, and having such lovely staff in Millbrook made our day that little bit more special. We can’t thank you enough for the gorgeous food. The service at dinner was fantastic! And, of course you for never missing a beat with our little men and making sure their needs were met all day! Thank you! Also, a special mention to your son, he works tirelessly behind the bar with a smile all day, too! We loved it, and we wouldn’t change a thing thanks a million xx

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at the Millbrook for making our wedding on Saturday everything I wanted and more! The venue itself was stunning, so many comments on the ceremony outside and how nice it was. The food was delicious and the staff made sure the whole day ran smoothly. The smaller details of setting up my bridal prep room before I arrived was such a nice touch. On the morning of the wedding there was a staff member who brought us water, teas and coffees, she was so helpful and polite! Also the member of staff who was starting to set up the main room on Saturday morning was great too, everyone was so eager to help! 

Tamara- who coordinated the wedding was absolutely amazing, Ross and I can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond, and was always there when I needed her- putting my nerves at ease before walking down the aisle, any time I asked her for anything at all she got it so quickly and it was no trouble. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to oversee the smooth running of my wedding. She is so calm, efficient and a great sense of humour! Such a credit to the Millbrook. Thankyou Tamara, truly!

I want to do it all over again! 

Thanks to all the staff at the Millbrook - you made our day amazing. Every little girl dreams of getting married from such a young age and Saturday really was a dream come true.

Hi Fiona

Phill and I cannot thank you enough for everything you done to make our day so special. I don’t know how we even would have got to the end of the aisle without your calming words and breathing exercises! Honestly amazing and exactly what we needed.

You really went above and beyond and it did not go unnoticed not only by us but our closest friends and family. Our whole day was everything we wanted it to be, the biggest thank you to you and the whole team, it was brilliant. We also want to pass on how much everyone enjoyed the food, from the appetisers to main meals, nothing but really positive reports from all our guests.

As soon as we have the photos, we will 100% send through for sharing. And more than happy to leave a review on Google, we cannot recommend the hotel enough! 

Ps thank you for the Polaroid and message in the guestbook, such a lovely surprise for us and it’s means a lot.

Thank you so so much
— Shelley & Phill

On behalf of Ryan and Myself, can we just say a massive thank you to everyone who made our day happen at the Millbrook Hotel? The staff were absolutely amazing, and not to add Gerty, Tamara & Sinead, a massive thank you to the 3 of you. Nothing was too much to ask for, even right down to last minute requests!!

Tamara definitely made our dreamy outside ceremony stay alive (even tho I was very late) every single member of staff that worked that night done a fantastic job!! We couldn’t fault our day at all!! Note to add the food was absolutely outstanding including vegetarian/ Vegan options!! You guys don’t get enough credit for the work you all do!! Again thank you all so so much.
— Orla and Ryan

We would like to thank everyone at the Millbrook for making our day even more special than we could have imagined! Massive shout out to Fiona, she went above and beyond to make sure our dream of our ceremony being outside stayed alive and we can’t thank her enough for this. 

Fiona was so busy working her magic in the background, we didn’t get to fully appreciate how much effort and dedication she was putting into our day! From 2 days before, she took every minor detail to make our day utterly perfect. She even added her own touches and made her experience shine through. 

The food was fantastic and the bar staff were friendly and professional. Couldn’t fault Millbrook from start to finish.

Robin and I want to thank you for helping us with our Wedding day. 

The staff were amazing, friendly, and so helpful. We wanted a small intimate wedding and the Millbrook give us exactly what we wanted and more. The surroundings of the hotel where absolutely lovely, perfect for photographs and the food was fantastic. 

We would highly recommend the Millbrook Lodge Hotel for your wedding venue. 

Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our wedding day perfect. 
— Robin and Joanne

Barry and I want to thank you so much for helping us with our Wedding day. The staff were attentive and friendly, just amazing. We will be recommending the Millbrook to everyone we know who is getting married. The food was so good but we already knew that as we visit the Gilmore Restaurant for dinner. The hotel is beautiful and the Rectory Suite was just redecorated and looked amazing. Everything that day was perfect, everything went smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about one thing. Thank you so so much. 

The winter wedding package was perfect.

Ryan Mcdonald Photographer was brilliant, he is so talented. Even entertained my neice while we were getting ready that morning. The pictures are superb, we so happy about them all, Ryan sent out a usb of all the pictures so we can show our family, i would highly recommend Ryan. 

Eddie and Christina were brilliant from EDM Videography, didn’t even realise they were there half the time, they arent intrusive and very professional.  The wedding video was 4k and perfect, they captured everything that I missed out on that day while going round guests. Would highly recommend a video. 

Rob from Photo mirrors NI was brilliant and made it fun, everyone had a fantastic time dressing up and posing. It is great that the guests got to keep their photos and we get the digital version of all them so we can see what everyone was up to.

Oliver from Oliver Wedding cars did a great job getting the fellas to the venue with a wee pit stop at a pub for a sneaky pint for the men lol. 

Watsons of Ballynahinch decorated the wedding venue so well and made it look so pretty, everyone just loved the decor.

Everything was just amazing, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special. 
— Jacqui & Barry O'Connell

We really appreciate it, and everything couldn’t have went better:) We will definitely be recommending The Millbrook as a venue for future couples we may know. Thank you again! And all the best x
— Jenna and William

We couldn’t have picked a better place for our wedding reception venue. The events staff at the Millbrook made everything so straightforward & stress-free. Thanks to them, everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. So many of our guests commented on how professional & personable the staff were, and not to mention, the food was fantastic!!! Honestly, we could not recommend Millbrook enough as a wedding venue, great people & great hospitality.
— Ben & Sarah
