Weddings

"Laura and I would like to thank you and the whole VPL team so much for all of your help and support in the (long!) lead up to our wedding. We couldn't have picked a better venue to get married in, and even after the long wait - it was everything we dreamed of and so much more. We have received so many compliments on the food, the venue and the stuff for our weekend & we know the work that went into it from your side to make it all so magical and personal to us." 

"From the minute we set foot in the Deerpark Inn on Thursday evening to leaving yesterday morning everything was flawless. You have gone above and beyond for us leading up to the wedding and over the three days. Our friends and family were literally blown away by the venue, the staff and obviously the food. Which was out of this world.

The food. The food was incredible! The Fish Pie on Thursday night, the Beef Wellington, the BBQ on day 2. I would give my left arm to eat of all that food again this week!!

I wish we could do it all again. It was an actual dream."

"We wanted to take a moment to express our profound gratitude for the pivotal role Virginia Park Lodge played in making our wedding day an extraordinary experience. Its charm, elegance, and picturesque setting were exactly what we envisioned for our special day. Little did we know that it would exceed all of our expectations

The incredible staff left an indelible impression on us. Their dedication and attention to detail were unparalleled. They treated our wedding as if it were their own, ensuring that every element was executed flawlessly. What struck us most was their genuine warmth and hospitality; they made us feel like cherished guests, not just clients.

But what truly sets Virginia Park Lodge apart is the lasting memories. It became more than just a venue; it has become a part of our love story and will always hold a special place in our hearts. It provided the perfect canvas for us to celebrate the union of two cultures and the joining of two families."

"Thank you all so much for all the work you put into our special day. From the moment we first set eyes on the venue we fell in love with place and the attention to detail and care of all the staff only increased that. There is not a thing that we would change. The level of dedication of all the staff throughout has been truly spectacular. From the bar staff, the servers, housekeeping teams to the maintenance and grounds teams and of course yourselves, from day one put us at ease; and you could see the love the staff have for their job."

"Myself and David are settling well into married life and our wonderful day with you in the Lodge is still fresh in our minds.
We have the most amazing memories from our day there and we couldn't have done it without you and Deirdre and the team so thank you for that.
We can't wait for the chance to come back for a visit again, we would love a night there to enjoy the food and wonderful rooms."

"We have also been meaning to reach out to say thank you to you and your wonderful team for the most incredible few days. Virginia Park Lodge was the first and only venue that we properly viewed and it was everything that we wanted, and certainly didn’t disappoint.
 
We look forward to visiting the Lodge again soon, it will always be very special to us ❤️❤️"

"Thank YOU and the whole team at Virginia Park Lodge for the most magical weekend earlier this summer. We had the most amazing time and are sad we can't relive it every weekend. We truly appreciate everything you did for us to make everything go so smoothly and keep us calm throughout the whole process.
 
Everyone we talk to has told us how amazing the wedding and venue was and most of our guests have even said it's the best wedding they've been to. A large part of that is due to how beautiful Virginia Park Lodge was, the hospitality of the staff, and of course the delicious meals.
 
Next time we're in Ireland, we would love to stop by. Maybe our timing will align with one of the events you put on. We'll definitely keep in touch. "

"Alan and I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to you both along with the entire VPL team for an absolutely incredible wedding.

Everything from our perspective went off without a hitch and our guests were truly SO impressed by the venue, the attention to detail, the service, the meal etc.  We have had so many compliments of people very genuinely saying it is the best wedding they've ever attended in their life.  I wish we could re-live it over because it was so gorgeous and like everyone always says it truly does go by in a flash.  The garden ceremony stands out to me but everything really was just perfect for both the welcome party and wedding.  I don't know how you guys pulled it all off, and so smoothly too!
 
We love you all dearly, you feel like family and we hope one day to see you again."

"Just a final message from us to thank you a million for an amazing day, it was a joy working with you all over the past year and we cannot recommend you highly enough. We felt like Royalty on the day and our guests could not have loved your venue more, they were blown away by all the lovely little touches like the candles at night.
We love you all dearly, you feel like family and we hope one day to see you again 
We hope to be back again very soon."

"Where to even start. A massive thank you to you all for orchestrating the weekend of our dreams. Sean and I could not have asked for anything better. From the moment we arrived at the Deerpark Friday evening until we left Monday afternoon. It was truly truly exceptional, the service , the food, the drinks and venue. It was an absolute dream. We remember sitting down with Deirdre when booking and Deirdre explaining just how your Venue operates and it couldn’t have been more true, it was such a well oiled machine.

You have the whole of Birr town singing your praises, we really want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our weekend so special. We will look back so fondly on how we were treated. A special mention to David, and the barman Matthew also! I think everyone we have talked to have said how incredible your staff were at the weekend. An absolute credit to you.

We hope it’s not the last time we see you all"

"The day was seamless and went off without a hitch, which was down to you, Ciaran, David and Deirdre’s hard work!

The food was out of this world. There is still ongoing debate about the stand out dish, but lots of praise for our summer squash ravioli combo!!! The fish dish was a great success. Huge thank you to Chef Eoin! We’re still in awe of how he can cook for such a huge group.

The service was impeccable - special thanks to Finn, Dylan and Jean for looking after us so well. All the small details were thought of, including presenting our two pregnant friends with glasses of nosecco without having to ask."

"From the moment family and friends began to arrive they were met by the most helpful and friendly staff and so many of them came to speak to us on the day and in the days following to tell us that Virginia Park Lodge was by far the best wedding experience they had ever had.

As a first-time father of the bride, I would have to agree with that sentiment, from the first moment we visited and met you on site we were impressed by everything we saw, all that you promised at that first meeting you and your loyal staff delivered in bucket loads.

As we shared when we first met, the food was a most important part of the day and the menu April and Peter chose with help from the chef was the talk of the north in the days and weeks since, nothing was too much trouble, and every request was met with a yes and smile from your managers and staff. My personal favourite was the breakfast with smoked sea trout with a couple of buttery croissants.

I would like to thank you for all you did for April and Peter to make their day special, and for the stunning way you treated everyone who joined them at Virginia Park Lodge."

"Everything was absolutely perfect and yourself and Ciaran were a dream to work with. All of our friends & family were amazed by the venue, the food, the staff and how well everything ran, it’s all anyone can talk about for the last week - we really couldn’t have asked for more!"

Words cannot describe how amazing our day was.

Everything from the minute we arrived to the minute we left was absolutely faultless.

Ours guests were blown away by the food, the attention to every single detail, the seamless and punctual flow to the whole day and every single staff member from those in the Deerpark Inn on Thursday to those we met at breakfast yesterday - absolutely amazing.

Thank you to everyone at the Lodge for making our day and all the preparations leading up to Friday so magical.

It was absolute perfection!

From the moment we first viewed the venue, we knew we were in good hands. Margot and Deirdre were so professional and warm when we first viewed the venue and Ciaran was so accommodating to us in the Deerpark Inn afterwards showing us around all the rooms. The venue ticked all our boxes on our wedding venue wishlist and everything we asked for was accommodated for by the VPL team.

The run up to the wedding felt really smooth and your meticulous preparation made our lives so much easier. The wedding portal and the spreadsheets made it so much easier and we really appreciate your quick replies to our questions.

So many of our guests remarked how perfect the venue was, how the setting was perfect, how the place was decorated, how the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding.

To us though, what really elevated Virginia Park Lodge was the staff. Everyone was just so helpful and attentive throughout our time in the Deerpark Inn and Virginia Park Lodge. We really felt as if we were the first people to ever get married there, such was the way we were made to feel so special. The whole wedding day ran like clockwork also.

Virginia Park Lodge will hold a special place in our hearts forever more and we love the fact that we will always pass through Virginia when travelling between Dublin and Fermanagh and be reminded of this joyous time.
