I don’t even know where to start! From our very first viewing of Boyne Hill House with the drive up to the house, the walk around the Secret Garden and the Manor House to chatting with Sara, we knew straight away Boyne Hill House was the venue for us. Sara was with us from the very start, and met with us every time we came up to the estate for a walk around. She became more like a friend and made the entire wedding planning process so much fun and was so helpful with every aspect.

On the morning of, Linda was there to greet us and made sure we had everything we needed from coffees and pastries to the Prosecco! We had such a lovely morning in the bridal suite and the grooms pool room and it honestly felt like a dream. We did not have to think twice about anything on the day. All the girls were so attentive and helpful with everything including moving our belongings to the bridal suite, carrying my veil and bouquet to looking after all of our guests.

We were lucky enough with the weather to have an outdoor ceremony and our guests raved about the Secret Garden - the set up, the views and the atmosphere. It was honestly our dream wedding come true.

We can’t even begin to describe the food. After our meal tasting, we could not wait to have the food again. Every single one of our guests are still raving about it, it was truly extraordinary. We are both still dreaming of the red onion and goats cheese tartlet!

We can’t even begin to thank Sara, Linda, Elaine, Roisin and the rest of the team at Boyne Hill House for making our wedding day so magical and truly amazing. There was not a single detail forgotten about, the girls think of everything before we even have a chance to look for it. We already miss our visits up to the estate and our chats with Sara and the girls. There are not enough words to describe how amazing the venue and the team are. We would recommend Boyne Hill House 10 times over to anyone and everyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding!

From the moment we drove into Boyne Hill House, we knew it was going to be our wedding venue. The whole place has a quirky, fun vibe and doesn't have the typical "wedding" feeling, it was just perfect for us!

From our initial viewing with Katie to then dealing with Sara who looked after us on the day, everyone was exceptional! Sara's professionalism, knowledge and easy going personality made us feel totally at ease and was there to answer any questions we had (to which I had many). I honestly felt like Sara had become our friend throughout the wedding process.

We opted for a pre wedding meal the night before our wedding for 20 of our closest family and friends and we could not recommend it enough. We truly felt like we were the most important people in the world and the team could not do enough for us and our families. The cocktails made in the bar were amazing and we were never made to leave like we had to wrap it up.

Our wedding day...there is only one word to describe it...magical✨ It was everything we could have imagined and more. The food, which our guests are still talking about was absolutely incredible, the team who went above and beyond and the accommodation, we could not fault anything. The grounds are stunning and have so many photo opportunities, regardless of the weather and time of year.

A couple of mentions to some of the amazing team who made our wedding day go off seamlessly. Linda...what a woman!! On the morning of our wedding, anything we needed, she was there and willing to do everything she could. She helped out so much with my nieces and nephew and even entertained them for a while so their Mam's could get ready. Thank you so much for making us feel at ease in the lead up to the ceremony.

A very special mention to Elaine, who I told many times on the day, felt like my second Mammy. She is an absolute superstar and words cannot describe how incredible she is at her job. We had shots planned for after the meal and a few weeks before the wedding, I found out I was pregnant!! At dinner, my maid of honour asked Elaine if there was anything she could do to replace the tequila rose that was in the bottle, to which she replied "leave it with me". She then appeared a while later and had melted strawberry ice cream to put into the shot bottle so that I could still join in on the fun! The thoughtfulness, care and love that she has for her job is something I have never experienced before. You are a credit to Boyne Hill House, Elaine and will forever be a huge part of the memories we have from our special day.

Thank you to everyone on the team who were part of our special day. You are all absolutely incredible at what you do. Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of and would not have happened without you all.

We got married at Boyne Hill House in March 2025 and it was perfect. The setting is stunning, but it’s the staff who make it — Sara and her team couldn’t do enough for us or our guests. The food was incredible (the fillet steak especially), and the layout of the day flowed seamlessly: ceremony, dinner upstairs, and then a brilliant party downstairs with a packed dancefloor.

What really made the weekend special were the little extras — guests loved the snooker room, TV room and sauna for recovery the following day, and having everyone stay in the house & courtyard rooms kept the celebrations going into the night!

We viewed plenty of venues before choosing Boyne Hill and it exceeded every expectation. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Boyne Hill House was an absolute dream on our wedding day. From start to finish, the team was everywhere we needed them to be, making the day feel completely effortless – we didn’t have to think about a thing and just floated through it. Katie, Linda & Elaine were amazing, making the whole day seamless. Linda, in particular, was always so on the ball it felt like she was reading my mind, especially on the morning of the wedding.

The venue itself is spectacular – from the stunning manor house to the secret garden where we had the most incredible ceremony set-up on the hottest day of the year. But honestly, the day wouldn’t have been such a dream without the team at Boyne Hill.

And the food – wow! As massive foodies, this was so important to us. People often say the food on the day is never as good as the tasting but it absolutely surpassed expectations on the day, and guests are still talking about it. We couldn’t recommend Boyne Hill House highly enough – they made everything feel effortless and truly special. We literally had the best day of our lives!

Myself and my wife first visited Boyne Hill House in July of 2024 and instantly fell in love with it. It was stunning, from the Secret Garden, to the Manor House to the gorgeous grounds - it had everything we knew we wanted.

And what made it even more perfect was the wonderful staff who meticulously made sure our day would be the most perfect day we could ever image. Sara, Elaine, Roisin and Katie in particularly pulled out all the stops to ensure out day last month would be more special than we could ever imagine and it really was.

The sun shone for us, the garden was stunning for the ceremony and everything could not have been more perfect. The only drawback was when the day was over we didn't have it to look forward to anymore but what we did have was memories which would last a life time, it was just magical, in the most magical setting with the most wonderful staff ensuring everything everything went off without a hitch and it really did.

Thank you to everyone at Boyne Hill, in our wildest dreams we could not have dreamed of anything being more special than it was on the day. Just incredible!

We got married in Boyne Hill House in April of this year and it was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we booked our wedding straight through to the morning after, the care , consideration, kindness and attention to detail that was taken by the team at this wonderful venue was second to none.

Each time we visited the venue , we fell more and more in love with it, and our guests did the same on the day of. Each member of staff that we dealt with were so professional yet easy going and kind , a special shout out to Sara in particular who we dealt with from day one, the best in the biz , so much so every family member and guest who met her raved about how helpful and down to earth she is.

Words can’t fully express how incredible this venue, the staff and the food were. We wish we could relive it all over again! Thank you so much to everyone in Boyne Hill House for making our day so memorable.

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Boyne Hill House Estate on the 1st and 2nd of June 2025, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we first visited, we knew we were in the best hands – and the team went above and beyond to make every step of the journey seamless and stress-free.

In the lead-up to the big day, the support and communication were outstanding. Every question was answered with care, and every detail was handled with such professionalism. On the wedding day itself, the estate looked breathtaking – and the entire team ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to party hard and enjoy every moment even though some moments are still a blur.

Day 2 was just as special, with the same incredible attention to detail and warm hospitality that made the whole bank holiday weekend feel truly special and unforgettable.

A very special thank you to Sara Fay, Elaine, Amy Flynn, Katie Hackett, and Claire McCarthy – your dedication, kindness, and enthusiasm meant the world to us. You each played such a big role in making our wedding the most perfect experience, and we’ll be forever grateful.

We also hope you all enjoyed the two days as much as we did and we can’t wait to come back and visit you all soon.

Boyne Hill House is a dream venue, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to anyone looking for a magical setting and an exceptional team.

Thanks again for making it a wedding to remember!

It is hard to find the right words to describe how perfect Boyne Hill House was for our day. From the first moment we stepped through the doors to view it we fell in love with the venue. Not only was the venue itself perfect, but the staff were so welcoming and friendly that it gave it an amazing homely feel every time we were there. Our guests could not say enough nice things about it, all of them in awe of how beautiful it was. Special mentions have to go to our coordinator Claire for not only was she warm and welcoming but her commitment to making our day special and exactly how we pictured it was more than we could have asked for, Elaine for looking after us on the day and even though we only met her a couple of days before we felt like we had known her from the get go and Amy and Sara for keeping things moving and making sure that we had everything we needed. Between the venue itself being immaculate and the team being so welcoming we cannot recommend Boyne Hill House enough to anyone seeking a unique and magical venue.

“Boyne Hill House was the first venue we viewed and nothing else could surpass those first impressions. From the moment we booked the date, Claire and the team were absolutely fantastic and could not have done enough for us. They welcomed all of our questions and on the day of itself, they went above and beyond to make sure that each and every one of our guests were having a great time. I forgot to arrange buttonholes for my groomsmen so Elaine made them herself with flowers fresh from the garden. We enjoyed a phenomenal service from all the staff to include the caretaker who told us about the wonderful history of the grounds. The superior standard of food was undoubtedly one of the most resounding comments by all our guests – what we would do to have another menu tasting night! This is an exceptional and unique venue. No matter what your hopes are for your big day, Boyne Hill House and its wonderful staff have it covered.”

“From our first visit to Boyne Hill House, as we drove into the estate, we both immediately fell in love with the beauty of the house and the stunning secret garden. Katie and her team were very welcoming and wonderful and took their time to show us around the beautiful venue.

Before our big day, Claire, Catherine, and the team were in constant communication with us and helped us with all the questions and queries we had during the process. They were very accommodating and supportive throughout, and we can’t thank them enough for all their help.

On our wedding day everything went so perfectly, and we were lucky to be able to have our ceremony in the beautiful secret garden. All the team were so patient, welcoming, and professional the whole day, the service was incredible, and every staff member made sure we have the best day ever. Food was exceptional - still to this day, all our guests give us compliments on how amazing the food was at our wedding.

We cannot thank Claire, Catherine, and their team of staff enough for making sure we have the wedding of our dreams in the most beautiful venue imaginable.”


Nicole and Conal

“Magical through and through - we just couldn’t have had a more perfect day.

The team at Boyne Hill are outstanding, they just can’t do enough for you! From the bar staff to Dean and Claire, everything was perfect. And the catering team - the food was by far the best I’ve ever had. We got so many glowing comments. 

I just couldn’t recommend getting married at Boyne Hill enough!”

“We got married in Boyne Hill House in December and we absolutely loved it. The grounds were a winter wonderland. We had so many compliments about the venue, food and staff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue.”

Kelly and Mark

“When Mark and I decided to have a wedding of 100 people, we set off to find the right venue. From the moment we drove down the tree-lined avenue decorated with fairy lights and saw the stunning Manor House, we instantly fell in love with the venue. Every part of the venue was special and had so much attention to detail. We knew instantly we wanted to get married there. Not only is the venue stunning but every staff member we met was so friendly, lovely and made us feel like we were the only couple ever to get married! And finally, probably one of the most important aspects of the wedding day, the food: the food was delicious, and all our guests spoke so highly about their meal. Thank you so much Katie, Barbara, Dean, Elaine, Darren and all the staff at Boyne Hill house for the most incredible wedding day.”

Bailey and Greg

“Planning a small destination wedding to a country you have never been to and to a venue you have never seen is not for the faint of heart. One chat with the folks at Boyne Hill House quickly resolved all fears and anxieties. It started with an enquiry, hoping they would have availability to host our party for two nights. Katie was incredibly responsive to my questions and completely reassuring on our Zoom call. What followed was friendly, helpful and encouraging interactions from everyone from Catherine in reservations, to Aaron behind the bar and Darren, our night manager. Barbara and Elaine will always have a special place in my heart for all of their incredible help and support leading up to and during these two days. They guided me every step of the way and I'm quite sure they had something to do with the clouds parting just in the nick of time for our dream garden wedding. Perhaps the rainbow that followed was ordered up by them as well. Boyne Hill is a spectacular venue not because of its beautiful Manor House, sumptuous secret garden, carefully crafted exclusivity, convenient distance from Dublin; but because of the people that work there who truly care about delivering your greatest expectations.”

Leona and Brian

“So where do we start?! From the moment I arrived in the venue at 8am on the morning of our wedding to the time we left the following day – everything was 100% perfect. The team at Boyne Hill House go above and beyond to make your day as perfect as how you imagined it. A special mention to Barbara and Elaine who helped me create my dream day. I could not have put it all together without these two ladies. We knew that Boyne Hill was the venue for us as soon as we drove in the entrance. It was elegant but quirky and private - everything we wanted. The food on the day was 10/10, every guest we had at the wedding either mentioned on the day or afterwards that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. The accommodation is beautiful and the Bridal suite is stunning. The staff were all so nice and so helpful to us all. We still can’t stop smiling about how perfect our day was (despite the few drops of rain). We would highly recommend Boyne Hill House for your upcoming wedding. I can 100% guarantee it will be magical. Thank you for the most precious memories.”

Emma and Jake

“We got married at Boyne Hill House and it was an absolute dream come true. We had a wedding for about 45 guests that we planned completely from the States. We never saw the venue in person or got to try the food, but Barbara and her team did not leave a shadow of doubt that it would be the most perfect day during the planning process. As a fairly Type A bride, I wasn't sure exactly what I was getting myself into, but the hundreds of 5 star ratings and the quick, kind and courteous responses from the Boyne Hill staff assured me that we were making the right decision. The grounds are stunning, the main house is eclectic and filled with character, and the reception area is perfect for our wedding guests and a "party" vibe.

It's no secret that Boyne Hill House is gorgeous from the outside in, but the staff are something to truly boast about. I've never heard of a wedding day running as smoothly as ours did - it was something out of a movie. We loved every moment we spent in Boyne Hill House and leaving the morning after the wedding was one of the most emotional things I've ever had to do (aside from marrying the love of my life!) I will recommend BHH forever and ever. 5 stars and beyond, they made our wildest dreams come true!”

Russell and Myriam

“Choosing Boyne Hill House as our wedding venue was by far the best decision we made. From the beautiful private setting, the secret garden, the stunning dining room, the delicious food and above all else the staff who could not do enough for my husband and I and all of our guests! We stayed two nights and the staff were so lovely and accommodating, that it felt more like a home then a wedding venue! We had a stunning wedding ceremony in the secret garden followed by drinks reception outside the house with music and canapés. Dinner was served to the highest standard. The majority of my guests chose fillet steak for the main course and every single one was cooked to perfection! All of my friends, family and loved ones enjoyed every second of our wedding. The only word I can pick for my wedding at Boyne Hill House is 'perfect'. I'm so grateful to everyone for making our day so special and memorable. I would highly recommend Boyne Hill House to anyone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

Caroline and Jordan

“We got married in Boyne Hill House in August and it was truly fabulous! From getting ready in the morning in the beauty room and whisky room, to our gorgeous outdoor ceremony in the secret garden, wonderful drinks reception in the main house and dinner and evening reception in the courtyard it was just stunning throughout. The staff were wonderful, everyone was so kind and attentive especially Barbara who was amazing throughout the day. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on the exquisite grounds and loved the privacy of it. The food was phenomenal and the party lasted well into the early hours. I would highly recommend Boyne Hill House to anyone, it truly is above and beyond. We had the most spectacular day and have the best memories from it.”

Aoife and Conor

“From the moment we viewed Boyne Hill House we fell in love and knew it was our dream venue. The venue itself is unique, intimate and contemporary which is what we were looking for. We celebrated our magical day at Boyne on the 12th August 2022 and I couldn't have asked for a better day. The team were incredible from the moment I arrived at the Beauty room at 8am to getting us all in place for the ceremony - all creating a stress-free environment on the day. We had stunning weather on the day which allowed us to have our ceremony outdoors in the beautiful Secret Garden - full of flowers and fantastic for wedding photos. Food was an important aspect of our wedding as it’s one of the things people remember most. Our wedding menu was fantastic and we are still getting rave reviews about the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Boyne Hill House for a wedding that you will never forget. Thank you for the most magical day.”

Yvonne and Michael

“We fell in love with Boyne Hill House the first time we visited the venue. The house is stunning and grounds are beautiful. Barbara was very helpful with organising the details of the day and was always available to discuss any questions we had. On the day of our wedding, Hayley was our co-ordinator and she was fantastic - she even steamed my wedding dress for me ! All the staff at Boyne Hill were so professional, helpful and welcoming. The food was fantastic and all of our guests complimented the food throughout the day. We had planned an indoor ceremony but changed our minds the day before the wedding. I have to thank Barbara for telling me to go outdoors even though I had been saying no way for 2 years. The secret garden was just stunning. It was the most magical setting for our wedding and I can't believe I had that setting on one of the hottest days of the years. We were delighted with our wedding day and Boyne Hill House is a fantastic wedding venue.”

Cathy and Jamie

“We just want to thank you all so much for everything. Hayley, you were nothing short of phenomenal - the best person we could have asked for. There was so much going on and you were always there to help and get everything seen to and the day wouldn’t have been a success without you! Roisin and Elaine you both were also incredible! Your personality lit up the whole room and spread all the great vibes. Couldn’t have asked for better people! Honestly can’t put into words how blown away we and all our friends and family are with the service we received. Every single guest commented on how fantastic all the staff were and it’s such a credit to you all. You all work so well as a team. It was the best day ever.”

Katie and David

“Where do I start? The minute we visited the venue I knew it was the one for us, we didn’t even view anywhere else We loved it immediately. All the team at Boyne Hill are absolutely amazing - it really felt like a home away from home. From the start of the day, the staff couldn’t do enough for us - they were amazing. The food and wine were absolutely stunning. Breakfast was gorgeous and again felt so homely and chilled. The two days went so well I would love to do it all again.”

Caragh and Jean-Pierre

“We would like to say a massive thank you to everybody at Boyne Hill House who made our wedding the most wonderful day. We had a 2-day celebration at BHH, we stayed the night before and it was amazing….such a relaxed feel before the big day with all our friends and family. The make-up room for the bridal party and billiard room for the groomsmen are such unique features. The staff are honestly incredible - they work so hard and nothing is too much trouble. We’ve had so many guests comment on how helpful and great the staff were. I must personally mention Lorraine who made sure the running of our day was just perfect! Lastly if you would like all your guests to be well fed with the most delicious food then this is the place to get married. We had so many of our guests compliment the food saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. I honestly cannot recommend Boyne Hill House enough - we wish we could do it all over again.”

“The staff at Boyne Hill went above and beyond for our wedding celebrations. It was the first venue we viewed and we instantly fell in love. After securing our date, communication from the wedding co-ordinators was fantastic - they were always the first ones to get in touch and check in with us to see how the planning was going and nothing was ever a problem. We had the most amazing day with everything running so smoothly. I didn't expect to be as chilled as I was on the day but the staff have such a calming presence and are so professional and approachable. Big thank you to Barbara, Elaine and Ross who were on hand for anything we needed. The venue is absolutely spectacular with so many stunning locations for photos. The beauty room for the girls and whiskey/pool room for the lads set the perfect atmosphere for the day - we all felt super relaxed while getting ready. The food was sensational and plentiful! Along with our guests, we had the most amazing day and would 100% recommend Boyne Hill to everybody!”
