Lyndsay & Brian – 8th Oct 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!

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!

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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and Steven – 05th 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.
