The staff in Ballintubber Abbey were absolutely fantastic from the day we booked. We dealt with Teresa who answered every query we had even on her days off, she was so helpful. There were 2 staff members present on the day who were there to help with anything even fixing my dress and opening curtains before walking up the aisle. We did our mass rehearsal and had another staff member who talked us through everything that evening such as where to stand and what the normal wedding protocol was as we were a little unsure on the day. We would highly recommend and the place looked fabulous. The church was also spotless. It is also a lovely spot to get photos outside on the day. Was so happy we chose Ballintubber Abbey.

Don’t know where to start from booking our wedding date, to the day of our wedding our experience was absolutely amazing. So helpful from paperwork, decor, helping the bridal party and myself the bride before the mass, completely professional and so pleasant. Our guests commented on how magical the abbey was on our wedding day. If only we could do it all over again and the wedding photos in and outside the abbey was the icing on the cake. Would recommend to any bride and groom.

Ballintubber Abbey gave us the wedding of our dreams! The most incredibly kind staff who went above and beyond to help us with every step. We’re especially grateful for the help of Teresa, who coordinated with us from abroad. She was integral in getting all of our American paperwork sorted before our ceremony. Father Fahey was a wonderful Priest and gave us the perfect ceremony. Could not recommend enough!

We feel so fortunate to have had our wedding ceremony at Ballintubber Abbey - the Abbey is beautiful and historic and such a special place. Organising the wedding while based in Australia was a little bit daunting but the entire team at Ballintubber made the process so seamless and enjoyable. We felt so supported the whole way through and we can’t thank you enough. From talking us through the formal requirements, providing templates for our wedding booklets and helping us find other wedding suppliers, the team at the Abbey were always there for us and so generous with their time.
The Abbey itself is beautifully presented and the grounds made the most incredible backdrop for our wedding photos. We were so grateful to the team at the Abbey for walking us through the site and the grounds in the lead up to the day and their tips for the best spots for photos. Our experience was so positive from the first email to wrapping up on the day. We couldn’t recommend the Abbey more highly for a wedding ceremony.
Thank you again!

To all of the staff who work at the Abbey, I just wanted to finally say a HUGE thank you for all of your continued support with the lead up to and on our wedding day!
After having to cancel it twice due to covid, we finally got married on Thursday 11th August last year. We cannot thank you all enough for helping us with the paper work and keeping us on track every step of the way. Your help was much appreciated on the day as well as it all began to feel somewhat overwhelming by the time the day actually arrived.
The Abbey will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we will continue to visit year after year to remind ourselves of the magical day we all had. Plus, the weather! It was a stunner!
Thanks again,
The new Mr and Mrs McHugh
