What a lovely message to receive from Tora & Jamie after their big day back in June 💞

"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 💕

Tora & Jamie ###"

"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!"

How beautiful are these photos from Shona & Dean's big day back in May? 😍

They recently got in touch to share some very kind words and their gorgeous wedding photos by , room styling & flowers by & lighting by 🥰

"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!) "

Some lovely words from Helen & Matthew after their big day back in May, what a beautiful day and a beautiful pair! 🥰

"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!

Helen and Matthew"

❤️ Congratulations to Danielle & Benn! ❤️

Some of you might recognise Benn as he used to be our barman when we first opened 10 years ago, and we were so happy to host his big day yesterday and see him marry the beautiful Danielle. Some of you might also recognise his lovely parents who now work with us so it really was an Orange Tree House family affair! We're delighted for the happy couple 🥰

"Hi Michael and Chelsea,

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!

Daniel and Alan"

The lovely Erin & Dean reached out after their wedding to share some kind words and stunning photos from .info 🥰

"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"

Thank you Chelsea for all of your help in dealing with our multiple queries, Michael for all of his help on the running of the day and ensuring it ran so smoothly and for all of the staff who looked after us so well - thank you!!!

"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"

✨"Keep doing what you do - you make magic"✨

We are really feeling the love after this review from the lovely Kathy & Joff after their big day 💜

📸

"Chelsea, Michael and all the team at Orange Tree.

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"

The lovely Tanya & Thomas got in touch recently after their wedding last week and we couldn't be happier that their day was everything they wanted, we love what we do! 🥰💞

"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 💞"
