Justine & Shane – September 2023
Brook Lodge is the most perfect wedding venue. We had the best day of our lives! The setting is so stunning, we had our ceremony in Macreddin Chapel which was the best decision we made as this was the highlight of the day! The weddings team went above and beyond to make our day so special for us. In particular Laura on the day, she was just so lovely to have around and she made sure everything went seamlessly! The food was exceptional, all of our guests were raving about it. We are so so happy with our choice, it was fabulous from start to finish. The service is second to none. They know how to do weddings right and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue!
Emma & Andrew – August 2023
Brooklodge and its fantastic team gave us the wedding day of our dreams! Not only is the venue and its surroundings stunning for a wedding, the staff and the food are of the highest quality. The staff treated our guests so well and we were made feel very special throughout our wedding day and our day 2. Brooklodge is the perfect wedding venue as it gives you and your guests privacy from the main hotel while also being able to enjoy the hotel’s amenities. The arrival food and drinks, the wedding meal itself, breakfast each morning and our day 2 BBQ food was just amazing and we are so grateful for the high level of quality and service we received throughout our wedding weekend. Thank you Brooklodge, you will forever be our special space nettled among the Wicklow Countryside.
Lee & Aoife – July 2023
We had our wedding here last week and it was absolutely everything we wished it to be. In the early stages of planning our wedding, it was clear – after visiting many locations – that BrookLodge was exactly what we wished for in a venue. You can instantly see the attention given by their staff and that’s not easy to find! Our first introduction was given by a true gentleman, Joe. He made us feel like our wedding experience would be exactly as we wished. Our wedding team Kiely, Laura and Fran were an absolute dream. Everything they did for us helped us create a day that we will cherish forever so thank you so very much to all of you and your wonderful staff! A particular thank you to Pablo (Paul) a very helpful porter for helping us so much throughout our stay and your ever curtious manner. Aoife and I have nothing but wonderful memories made with BrookLodge.
Stephanie & Fabien – 18th June 2023
The BrookLodge & Macreddin wedding team have been going above and beyond for us and our guests and we received a massive amount of compliments with regards to the organisation, the quality of the service and food and of course the beauty and the charm of the hotel. Our day couldn’t have been any better and that’s mainly because of you 🙂 Luckily also the sun decided to shine just in time for the ceremony which made it even more magical!
Shaunette & Niall – 4th June 2023
Our wedding was the most magical day of our lives. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I can’t thank everyone in BrookLodge enough who made the day flow so effortlessly. We were in the best of hands. Can only but highly recommend the place!
Peter – 14th April 2023
We had an amazing day. The venue and team were brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Megan & Wayne – 6th April 2023
From the start of the process to the day of the wedding, everything was so well organized. Whenever we had a query there was always a quick reply. The whole process of getting married can be so overwhelming and stressful but the wedding team really went above and beyond. The day went beautifully and all of our guests loved the venue. The food was one of the biggest talking points with some comments saying it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding day!
Karina & Kieran – April 2023
We had our wedding at BrookLodge in April. We loved that we could get married & have the reception on the same site; the chapel is lovely & the reception room is beautiful. The food was to a very high standard & we got several compliments. The wedding team were very nice to deal with when planning the big day. And all of the staff that looked after us during the days we spent there couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. There is a lot of attention to detail which we really appreciated. Staff are genuinely friendly. We’d highly recommend BrookLodge as a venue for a wedding & hope we get the chance to go back soon!
Jennie – 16th October 2022
Absolutely fantastic venue for a wedding. Was beyond our expectations from start to finish. Food in both the Italian & Strawberry Tree Restaurants was so delicious. So many different areas to enjoy, very chilled & relaxed. And the beautiful wee church is just magical. Really was a fairytale weekend.
Lyndsay & Brian – 8th October 2022
Our wedding day was beyond our expectations. It is hard to put into words how amazing it was! From the moment we started looking at wedding venues, BrookLodge was the main contender. The venue and scenery is absolutely stunning! We booked during Covid so, hadn’t seen it in person, only on a video call before booking. However, on our first visit we fell more in love with it – the venue and people. We were made feel instantly at ease and welcome. The Weddings Team, Sally and Sonja are incredible – from the very beginning they were extremely responsive, very quick to answer all our queries, and there were many! Their knowledge and direction puts you at ease during a stressful time as you know you are in great hands. You have nothing to worry about as they have everything covered – even little bits you’d never think of! On the day, the team were unbelievable – they ensured everything ran smoothly, even down to the smallest of details. It was seamless! Pawel was brilliant looking after us and our guests during the evening, offering his direction when we needed it. The food and service were top notch.. our guests are still raving about it!! We honestly had the best day, and our guests have said it was the best wedding they were at! We can’t thank the Weddings Team and all the staff enough for making our special day, a truly amazing day and experience. We are already looking forward to getting back there for a visit!
Aine – 16th September 2022
The wedding team & staff at Brooklodge were brilliant! Sonja & Sally so lovely to deal with. The venue itself is lovely too, a really nice backdrop for photos. Honestly we don’t have a bad word to say about the place and the food was excellent. We had the best day!
Nicola Henry – 4th September 2022
What can I say?! It’s hard to put into words how much of an amazing wedding we had at The Brooklodge!! It really was the best day ever. From the moment we got engaged there was nowhere else that would do for our big day, other than The Brooklodge. It is the most stunning venue. So beautiful and peaceful and everything you need is onsite, so once all your guests are there they can relax and know they don’t have to drive anywhere else. We had a humanist ceremony in Macreddin chapel and our drinks reception and meal / dancing etc in Brookhall. We were fortunate enough to have good weather so being able to use the little garden at Brookhall for the drinks reception was great! The weddings team, Sally, Sophie and Sonja, were amazing from the get go, always available for any queries we had, always got back to us super quickly and didn’t make me feel silly for asking silly questions!! The whole day was seamless. The weddings team were on hand making sure everything went smoothly and Michael ensured the evening reception was perfect and was always one step ahead of what was needed! The food was incredible. Our guests are still ranting and raving about how great it was – they all said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had, and some even said the beef was the best they’d ever had full stop! It honestly was the perfect venue and our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! We live in Northern Ireland, so it was quite an ask for them to travel down to be with us, but they all say it was totally worth the journey and some of them have already booked to go back and stay at The Brooklodge because they loved it so much!! Thanks so much to the whole team at The Brooklodge for making our day so perfect and special!
Katie & Eoghan – 9th July 2022
Brooklodge is the most magical wedding venue. We had a beautiful outdoor wedding. We had planned to have a Catholic blessing in the Chapel and only decided to go outside the night before the wedding as the weather was lovely. Sonja, Sally and Sophie were more than amazing. From the moment we inquired to the day of the wedding they were so accommodating. There was no such thing as a stupid question or a request too big. Every email and phone call was answered swiftly and efficiently. On the day Sonja went above and beyond her duties. She was there for us from the morning to the evening and made sure all our needs were met. Sonja ensured there were plenty of food and drinks for everyone on arrival. Also to add, the midnight supper was super! The guests raved about the surroundings, the food and the accommodation. We had a family dinner in La Taverna the night before the wedding. The weather was so nice that they allowed us to have dinner outside which was exceptional. We had a BBQ the night after which I would highly recommend. The food was plentiful and delicious The breakfast was beautiful and fresh each morning. I’d stayed in the mezzanine suite for the three nights which was modern and spacious! There were a lot of kids in our wedding party and the staff were so kind to them. They used the pool every day which was perfect. The spa is out of this world and a real treat to use the morning after your wedding. I cannot fault the Brooklodge in any way. We will use it as an anniversary spot every year now and are so looking forward to returning. Food, staff, accommodation, surroundings 100%
Ann Prendergast & Áine Sheehy – 5th May 2022
We celebrated our amazing wedding day at the wonderful BrookLodge on May 5th 2022. From the very start we were in awe of the support from the weddings team Sally, Sonja and Sophie. We had never been to Brooklodge and due to covid times we couldn’t travel to see the venue. Without hesitation they were out sprinting across lawns to give us a virtual tour. This we found was just the beginning of their commitment and passion in helping us to organise our wonderful day. As for the venue itself, hidden away from hussle and bussle and surrounded by green fields and mountains it was nothing short of a fairytale. From its beautiful chapel where we said “I Do” standing alongside its trickling stream nessled in the trees with dancing bluebells, to its green lawns looking down across the merriment. Here our guests got to meet and have a drink in the sunshine from ‘The Riverside Lounge’ which set the joyful celebrations in motion. Once the ceremony was done, we had the short stroll under the arches surrounded by our family and friends to the beautifully decorated ‘Brookhall’ for our reception. The food was on another level and the team were in contact throughout to ensure anyone with dietary requirements were looked after. Again, the staff couldn’t do enough for us and were on hand with any request big or small. We would honestly recommend Brooklodge to anyone planning their special day. Every guest mentioned how beautiful and homely it was and how it made the day. It’s a truly special place and we’ll hold the memories of our wedding day in Brooklodge forever.
Aisling & Jason – 2nd April 2022
We had our Wedding here this month and to say it was amazing is an understatement. The staff, the surroundings, the food…. Everything, was spectacular from start to finish. Sonja is a gem, and one of the nicest people, Pawel is also a credit to the venue. They had everything under control, and completely contributed to one of the best days of our lives. I would recommend this as your Wedding Venue without any hesitation. As would every member that attended our Wedding, with all attendees mentioning how amazing the venue was and how the day went. The venue is so special and beautiful you will not regret choosing it.
Claire & Ronan – 18th March 2022
We just want to say a massive massive thank you to each and every one of you in Brooklodge for what we can only describe as the most magical, perfect and funfilled wedding weekend! We and our guests had the most amazing time and cannot thank you all enough for making us and our guests feel so special all weekend! From the moment we and the bridal party and family arrived on the Thursday we were greeted with what can only be described as Royal treatment! From the staff in The Waterside Lounge, to Actons, to the Strawberry Tree, housekeeping and porters, reception and not forgetting the Weddings Team and food and beverage team and staff, each and every staff member we encountered was unbelievable and a credit to the hotel and your professions! We cannot wait to come back for a visit to relive all the fantastic memories.
Lisa & Steven – 5th November 2021
We married on 5th November 2021 and from start to finish our wedding was truly spectacular, the most magical day we could have wished for. The wedding planners and staff could not have helped any more and made our day one we will never forget. The venue, food and staff where out of this world. If you are thinking of Brooklodge as your wedding venue you will not be disappointed. The village offered all of our guests variety over a three day weekend. Thanks again to you all, we will see you soon.
Katja & Paul – 30th October 2021
Planning an Irish/Swedish/Finnish wedding in the middle of a pandemic has been difficult but the wedding team at Brooklodge & Macreddin village made it easy and pulled it off perfectly for us. Our wedding day was more than we had hoped for thanks to the team. Venue is stunning and relaxing and the food is sensational. Forever grateful for Brooklodge & Macreddin for creating memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Katja & Paul.
