Wedding Testimonials

Memories last a lifetime…

Myself and my now wife got married in Redcastle Hotel last month. It was the most amazing day from start to finish. From the organising and help the hotel offered from our first wedding show around right up until the end of the wedding day, the staff and management went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day. The food was top class, the venue is spectacular, overlooking the lough Foyle with floor to ceiling windows, it really was the most amazing day in the most amazing venue. I couldn't rate it high enough!

Margaret Mary was absolutely amazing from start to finish with organising our wedding on 10th august.

Throughout the planning she was attentive, listened and was so easy to organise things with as her communication was second to none. On the actual day, she made my husband to be and myself feel completely at ease in the morning and made us feel confident and happy with how the day would go. Everything we asked for was delivered and we were so surprised to return to our room and receive a printed framed photo from the day, what a special touch!!! 

Kevin during the reception meal was also amazing and super organised but also relaxed, he made sure everyone was happy and well fed and watered. The waiters and waitresses were top class. Honestly we are blown away but just how amazing the hotel was for our wedding and all of our guests were also so happy, we can’t thank you all enough!!!!

We got married at the Redcastle at thebeginning of August 2024, we had such an amazing day and all our gueststhoroughly enjoyed the day aswell and complimented how well the day ran at thehotel from start to finish. Margaret-Mary played a great role in this and herteam were fantastic throughout. From getting to know Margaret-Mary from thebeginning when we first booked our wedding with the Redcastle it was such apleasure, nothing was ever too much. We only stayed the one night but willdefinitely be back in the near future to spend a few days to enjoy the rest offacilities the hotel has to offer like their spa. Thank again!

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Redcastle for making mine and Gareth's big day so special. 

Margaret Mary has dealt with us from the very beginning - over 2 years ago and her customer service skills are second to none. She was so helpful, nothing was ever a bother or a stress, everything from minor to major changes were always accommodated with complete ease. We cannot thank you enough for making the run up and the day itself an absolute pleasure. 

Regarding all other staff at Redcastle, we were greeted with nothing but the highest standard of professionalism at every opportunity. From the waiters/ waitresses to reception staff and beyond, we cannot speak highly enough of everyone. 

Our day was really exceptional and you all played such a massive part in making it just that. 

Thank you to everyone again, we are sad it's all over!

We would recommend Redcastle as a wedding venue at the drop of a hat, to anyone planning on getting married in the future! Do it! Choose here, you will not be disappointed. The meal was beautiful, the hotel is stunning, the staff are amazing, the views are exceptional and it's reasonably price for everything that is included! Don't think about it, just book it! 

Thanks again,

We had our wedding on 4th July in Redcastle. The day went amazingly and we were well cared for by the whole Redcastle team. Throughout planning we worked with Margaret-Mary and she was so helpful. She really helped to make sure our planning was as stress free as possible and went above and beyond for us. She was just a pleasure to work with. On the day, all of our guests commented on how nice the food was, how great the staff were and how nice their rooms were. Jack who looked after us on the wedding day done a fantastic job and we got so many comments from guests about how well he handled everything. We had the best day of our lives and would recommend Redcastle to anyone for a wedding, to stay or even just for food.

No request was too much.We viewed numerous places for our wedding, but nothing compared to the Redcastle.Margaret Mary and her team were exceptional, the wedding was well run, the set up of the room was fairytale like, the food was served quickly with no delays for any staff and was to a high standard.

Myself and my incredible wife got married at Redcastle Hotel on 8th June 2024.

We are still absolutely buzzing, we had THE BEST DAY, honestly could NOT have went better.

Everything was absolutely perfect, we literally aren't sitting here going "I wish we did....." or "I wish we didn't.....".

Yes we need to take some credit for this because we thought of everything BUT nothing was a problem or a bother to the staff and we really appreciate the effort of every single staff member.

EVERYBODY had such a good day, some saying it was the best wedding they've ever been too - we're not surprised.

A couple actually picked up a wedding brochure and are thinking on booking their wedding there because they fell in love with the place and had such a good day.

Our first ever weekend away together was at Redcastle and we also got engaged at Redcastle so it is very sentimental to us and we could NOT see ourselves getting married anywhere else. The food is incredible and the staff......we cannot praise them enough EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE.

The location, scenery, recent refurbishments, food & staff definitely make it hard not to fall in love with Redcastle.

Thank you,

Mr & Mrs McIlhatton

Emma and Paul

Myself and my newbie Wife Emma had our Wedding here on the 27th June....and although we didn't get the weather we had hoped for, it did not matter in the end up as our Reception here was just so perfect!!

Redcastle is our favourite place...we would stay here up to 3 times per year and also had our Engagement here 3 years prior to our Big Day...so it was a no-brainer picking here for our Special Day's Reception! Everything from the hotel itself...it's grounds and views, food and service is perfect for us!

Honestly, Margaret-Mary was just so attentive towards us...and herself and her team couldn't have done enough for us both in the lead up and on our Wedding Day! Due to the poor weather....myself and Emma had our photo's done in the beautiful Bridal Suite which just turned out perfect!! The Reception room itself was just beautiful and decorated exactly to our taste!! Everything ran so smooth and efficient.....with all our Guest's complimenting everything about it!

Redcastle was just the perfect fit for our Big Day and we had the best time of our lives! A big thank-you again Redcastle and in particular....Margaret-Mary.

We had an absolutely wonderful day from start to finish.

Margaret-Mary, you made everything run so smoothly, my guests had a fantastic time and said they have never seen such a well ran wedding before. Thank you so much for everything, nothing was too much trouble. Myself and James didn't have to worry about a single thing and that was all down to you. 

You were an absolute dream to work with from the very start and I have recommended Redcastle to so many already. 

We can't wait to come back up for a break away.

We had our wedding at Redcastle and from the start of the organising process to the day itself we had a great experience. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful and Margaret Mary, the wedding coordinator at the hotel was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend. Food, drink and food all excellent!

We got married at Redcastle in March 2024 and had one of the best days of our lives. From the moment we saw Redcastle and spoke to Margaret-Mary we knew that we had found our perfect wedding location. In fact, this was the only wedding venue we viewed. As soon as we walked into the reception room and saw the sea-view backdrop we just fell in love with it. Margaret-Mary was an incredible wedding coordinator. She made everything so easy and even though we live in Manchester we were able to organise everything smoothly. She was simply fantastic and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us plan our special day. My family and I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights so it really felt like home. Nothing was too much for the wonderful staff and it was with a heavy heart that we left. We cannot recommend Redcastle enough. Thank you to everyone who made our day so special, especially Margaret-Mary.
Catherine and Daniel
We recently had our wedding reception in Redcastle and we couldn’t have been happier with our day and our stay there. The whole planning process was made so easy and enjoyable by Margaret Mary and the team. Our wedding day was perfect. So many of our guests commented on the wonderful service and the amazing food on the day. We truly did have the best day of our lives and we are so grateful to Redcastle Hotel for making it so special. Thank you

We had our Christmas wedding at the Redcaslte in 2023. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Margaret-Mary, she made everything so straightforward and enjoyable from day one. Everyone had such a great day and the food was excellent. The beautiful location was also a big bonus!
Ursula and Danial
We had the most amazing day, everything was absolutely perfect! All of our guests couldn't say enough lovely things about the hotel, the staff & the food. Everything was 5 stars!

Myself & Danial would like to thank you for absolutely everything you did for us. For keeping in contact with us, organising everything in the room to perfection, we are truly grateful for everything.
Maggie and Neil
We had our wedding here last December and we cannot rate it high enough. From our first contact with Margaret Mary to the very end of our wedding day, we can’t thank you and your team enough. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and you really made our day so special. 
They went above and beyond, from the organising, to the service on the day, the food, and not to mention the ballroom Christmas decor was just that beautiful special touch. Our cake decor was flowers and they even placed the flowers for us so we didn’t have to worry about this on the day, I am so grateful and it was just perfect. 
We had the most amazing day and we can’t thank Margaret Mary and all the team enough.

The food was delicious and everyone is talking about in particular how delicious the chicken and mushroom voulevants were!
Our room was gorgeous and that view is simply just breathtaking. We woke up the next morning to the sky lit up red and the sun rising, reflecting off the water. It was a beautiful, winters day.

It wouldn't be right if I didn't say a special thank you to Margaret-Mary. You really did go above and beyond for us and nothing was ever too much of a bother. You are extremely good at your job and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and that's thanks to you. People say that their wedding day is the best day of their lives and I knew that would be the case for us too but even at that it exceeded all expectations and was better than anything we could have ever imagined and hoped for. We really appreciate you doing all the little things behind the scenes from setting out name cards onto the tables, organising the sweet cart and setting the memory table and sparklers. Even keeping the firewords a secret with my parents which was the best suprise EVER!

Margaret-Mary, we'd like to thank you for all of your work over the last year. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and have really made our whole experience so easy and enjoyable. You're a star!

We had the best day on the 4th, and that's down to you and your team, so we'd like to thank you all.
The efficiency, professionalism, and care really blew us away.

Thanks again for everything!
