What can we say? That was the best day of our lives. Thanks to your expertise, attention to detail and dedication.

From start to finish the whole experience was flawless. From Chelsea, the font of knowledge, answering our endless emails and calming our nerves in the planning process, to Michael keeping everything running so smoothly on the day whilst also just being a true gent and great craic throughout - we were in the best hands! Although we have been looking at our decor for months (our house has been packed to the rafters) we couldn’t have imagined how stunning it would all eventually look when your team took charge, repurposing items in imaginative ways throughout the day, and doing it all seamlessly so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

We had so many of our family and friends tell us it was the best meal they have had at a wedding - can you pass these compliments to the chefs! And thank them for going that extra mile to make a fully vegan menu - from the first course down to the sausage rolls at the end of the evening, everyone was blown away. It takes a special team to make food that is not only delicious but felt so uniquely us!

We are so glad we trusted you with the most important day of our lives - it was perfection!

Orange Tree will always hold a special place in our hearts. Keep doing what you do - you make magic.
So much love,
Kathy and Joff
xoxo

I just wanted to drop an email to say a massive thank you.
We had the most perfect day on the 13/05/2023 from beginning to end. Thank you so much for all your help from the moment we booked the wedding no question went unanswered and you always replied promptly.
The day itself was perfect. All the staff at Orange Tree went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day possible. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was incredible. All the guests were commenting on how tasty it was and "the best wedding food" they have ever had.
Micheal was on hand throughout the day, he really did go the extra mile to ensure we knew what was going on and kept everything running smoothly. An absolute credit to the team. Thank you again Michael.
I wish we could do it all over again and we would definitely recommend Orange Tree to all our family and friends and anyone infact looking for the perfect wedding venue.
Thanks again!

A massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the best day of our lives. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day and it would not have been possible without you. All the details, little and big, exceeded our expectations. Us and all our guests were smiling from ear to ear from start to finish. From our first viewing to the bottle of Prosecco when packing up our stuff, we have loved every second of working with you.

Chelsea- you made things so seamless and always took the care to respond to our queries in the same day which was so appreciated. You really helped make our dream day become a reality through your attention to detail!

Michael- from the moment we met you you helped calm any nerves we had and made us feel we were in capable, reassuring hands. Everything on the day ran like a dream thanks to you and your team- thank you for all the updates throughout the day and for removing any stress we had.

Jan- it was a pleasure meeting you at the tasting, thank you for your beautiful venue allowing us to have our dream day

Simon- the food was absolutely out of this world, all the guests couldn’t have spoken more highly of the meal (which we knew they would after the food tasting!). Thank you so much for accommodating all our choices and dietary requirements and for the seamless service.

All our best,

Katrina and Simon Harte

We wanted to share some kind words with you about how special our day was. We first saw The Orange Tree House on a cold, rainy foggy March day and venue still stood out as stunning. We knew right then and there that if it looked this good in the fog and rain it would only look better than that our wedding day and my goodness it was spectacular!

But the staff were really the key ingredient as what made the day so special. The pride that they took in their work showed in all aspects. The food was sublime with generous portions, the time line of the day also ran so smoothly – it honestly felt magic on occasion. We were waiting for that “wedding worry” and it never came because the staff took such wonderful care of us all. Chelsea, Michael and Pam were fabulous and we especially cannot thank them enough.

We only have few more friends left to get married and I am crossing my fingers that they pick The Orange Tree House because I would love to experience it all over again.

All our love,

Astrid and Liam

We had our amazing day on Saturday 27th May 2023 and people are still talking about it! A big part of that is down to you all at Orange Tree House!

We cant thank you enough for everything you did for us. From bringing in specific drink, to adding flowers to our cake, to making our day the most memorable day. Nothing was too much to ask for.

Orange Tree House was the one and only venue we viewed, we knew right away it was the right venue for us. The staff were amazing, a total credit to you all. Chelsea and Michael could not do enough for us. The food was out of this world, hats off to the chef and kitchen team.

We highly recommend you guys, and we hope to some day visit again as wedding guests!

Thank you again.

We just wanted to send over a message to thank each and everyone who made our day on the 1st July 2023.

It was the best day ever and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding, absolutely delicious!

Michael is such a credit to your team, nothing is to much for him & everything went so so smoothly, a massive personal thank you to him.

It is by far the most perfect venue and we would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for everything and answering any questions I had.

All the best

It has now been over a month since our day with you all at Orange Tree House and we are still buzzing from it. We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so special.

From the moment we first stepped foot in Orange Tree House, we knew it was the place for us. From the beautiful location with views over the Mournes and the Lough, to the lovely, welcoming staff, delicious food and how seamlessly you ran the whole day- it was just a dream come true. We knew we could rely on you to make our vision a reality and felt so relaxed about the whole process and on the day itself. Thank you so so much. We would not hesitate to recommend Orange Tree House as the perfect place to get married to anyone.

Now that we have kind of come back down to earth just wanted to send a wee message! We could not be more thankful for everything. The whole team at Orange Tree are second to none! We loved every minute of our day. We are so happy with how everything turned out. The timing of everything was so smooth and the running of things was impeccable. Michael is an expert MC and put us both at ease. The whole front of house team was amazing on the day! We always knew Orange Tree was special but we felt truly like we weren’t just a number! Could not have picked a more perfect venue! And of course to you Chelsea… thank you so much for always being at the other end of an email and making the whole admin side of things so easy! You must have to process an endless amount of information and you still do it all with a smile! Just again thank you!

I don't even know where to start, we had the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. Everything about the venue was outstanding. The food was second to none! Please pass our thanks to the chef, everyone was so well fed the whole day, the quality was unreal and I think it's the first time I've ever come home from a wedding so full! The bar and waiting staff were just a pleasure to have around and I had so many guests tell me how lovely they all were, you guys are so lucky to have such a fab wee team in Orange Tree! I have to thank you Chelsea for all the organising you done in the background and for always being on the other end of an email to answer any questions. You really do an amazing job!

Lastly I have to mention Michael...it felt as if he was one of our guests, he mingled with everyone and made every person there feel so welcome. I don't know how he done it with our chaotic family but he made sure the day ran seamlessly. Everything was bang on time and he just brought a smile to my face every time I bumped into him. What an incredible guy, it was an absolute pleasure to spend our day with him. He definitely helped Dean's nerves while he was waiting on me aswell! I'm praying that someone I know decides to get married at Orange Tree House so I can come back and spend another day there (and also another meal!).From the bottom of our hearts thank you for everything.

Love Erin and Dean

Chelsea, Michael and all the OTH team,

Now that the dust has settled a bit, we wanted to take the time to thank you for everything on the run up to and on the big day itself! It truly was the best day of our lives, made better thanks to all of your expertise and guidance.

Chelsea, thank you for being so organised and responsive to emails, and Michael for keeping everything running smoothly on the day, as well as all your fabulous staff; from start to finish we felt like we were in such safe hands and didn't have to stress about anything!

Thanks also to your great chefs Will and Eddie for keeping us well fed - the amount of comments we had about how great the food was! We truly couldn't have wished for a better day, and we are so grateful and glad that we had our wedding at Orange Tree House!

Thank you again,

Callan and Ryan xx

Just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU so much for everything you done for our special day! It was absolutely amazing - the staff were so friendly and organised, the venue was set up in the most beautiful way and the logistically, it went exactly as we hoped. You helped Alan and I feel at ease throughout and we have heard nothing but great things from our guests about the day. I don't think we can put into enough words to show how much we appreciated everything; but honestly, it was an unbelievable day.

Thank you so much!

2 months on from our big day we are reminiscing as the final photographs have come through. We couldn't imagine a better wedding day that was totally tailored to us and it's largely down to the talented team at Orange Tree House! From the quick responses to queries along the way from Chelsea, to Michael keeping the day running so smoothly, and the fantastic way you worked with all of our vendors, we couldn't be more thankful. We have had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was, the amazing food and how relaxed the day felt from start to finish. Thank you for being such a big part of the wedding of our dreams! When the sun made an appearance on our day, Orange Tree was just the most stunning place to be!

We had our beautiful wedding at Orange Tree House on the 3rd of July, and it was nothing short of perfection from start to finish. The venue is absolutely stunning and magical, and on the day, it looked like a fairy tale. Every corner of the place exuded charm and elegance, making it the ideal setting for our special day. This was the first venue we viewed when wedding planning, and we immediately knew it was the place for us. It was perfect because not only was the venue unique, but it was also dog friendly, allowing our beloved fur babies to be part of our big day.

From the minute we booked Orange Tree House, the staff truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They catered for our every need with exceptional care and attention. On the day, the staff were impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. We didn't have to worry about a thing, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our celebration. This gorgeous venue truly reflected our personalities as a couple, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and grand.

Our guests haven't stopped raving about how absolutely gorgeous the venue was, both inside and out. The interior spaces are beautifully designed, and the spectacular view of the lough added an extra layer of breathtaking beauty to the day. Orange Tree House provided a perfect backdrop for our wedding, and we are so grateful for the unforgettable memories made there. Last but not least the food was out of this world! Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavour, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still remarking about how delicious everything was, with many commenting that it was some of the best food they had ever tasted at a wedding. We highly recommend Orange Tree House to any couple looking for a magical and picturesque venue for their wedding. It truly made our day a dream come true. Thank you so much!

After the madness of the wedding and getting back to normal life, I’ve finally found the time to write this!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything, to say our day was perfect thanks to the whole team at Orange Tree House is actually an understatement. From the moment we went to book a viewing, to picking up our things the day after the wedding, you were all so warm and helpful.

Chelsea, you were so quick to respond to all of my questions, you made the whole process so easy and stress free for me!

Pamela, we so appreciated you showing my mum around with us when she came to visit before the wedding. Also, I think my dad talked your husband into a coma on the day haha! They were talking about flying for most of the afternoon!

Michael, saving the best for last, you were nothing short of incredible on the day. I’ve told all my friends, everyone needs a Michael on their wedding day!! From handing us a much needed drink at the end of the aisle, to making the day run like clockwork, we couldn’t have appreciated you more!

What an incredible venue and team, we’re so glad we picked you, every single member of the team was so friendly and happy and helpful on the day! And I can’t end this email without talking about the food, because oh my goodness, the FOOD! It’ll be the talk of the day for years and years, I’ve no doubt about that!

So, thank you all, from the bottom of our very full and happy hearts.

If you ever offer days to invite previous couples back to have a meal and walk around again, we’ll be there!!!

Our very best wishes,

Shona and Dean (now both Gowdy!)

We just wanted to email to say a huge thank you for the most amazing wedding day!

Your help while we were planning our wedding, answering all of our questions, was so appreciated and allowed us to feel very relaxed throughout the wedding planning process. From being shown around Orange Tree initially by lovely Pamela and falling in love with the venue, to the amazing food taster session where we developed an unhealthy obsession with the delicious gratin potatoes, we knew that you guys were going to look after us on our big day.

And we can’t even begin to thank you enough for everything on the day. Michael seemed almost as excited about the day at our set up meeting as we were, which helped to contribute to the loveliest vibe. He made sure everything was taken care of which helped us to be able to just enjoy the day. All of the staff were so friendly, nothing was any trouble and helped everything run so smoothly.

So thank you for helping make our wedding day so special for us and our guests, you guys are amazing… and we’re already crossing our fingers that some of our friends or family will chose to get married at Orange Tree in the future so that we will get to re experience the beautiful venue and the amazing food again!

Our dream day was made possible by everyone at Orange Tree. The day was above and beyond what we both could have imagined, everything was absolutely perfect. On the lead up, Chelsea was at hand to answer any queries and on the day Michael was amazing and so attentive in ensuring we were having the best day possible. The organisation that went on behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly was next level, and meant that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. The food was also incredible! We had so many compliments on the venue, the staff and everything in between so thank you to everyone at Orange Tree for making our wedding day one of the best day of our lives!
