- SSharon &Matt17/04/2025Amazing DayAmazing DayWe were married on the 15th of March, 2025, at Castledargan Hotel, and the day was absolutely amazing thanks to the Taylor and the entire team. Planning our wedding from New Zealand meant that having a reliable and supportive coordinator was essential, and from our very first meeting, we knew that Taylor and Castledargan were the perfect fit for us. No request was ever too big for Taylor. She made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free, always responding quickly and with such kindness and professionalism. Her attention to detail and genuine care made us feel completely at ease, even from the other side of the world. The day itself was everything we dreamed of and more. The ceremony and reception spaces were beautifully set up, and everything ran so seamlessly from start to finish. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how stunning the venue was, how friendly and attentive the staff were, and how delicious the food was. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Taylor’s attention to detail was impeccable and I felt 100% trusted and heard through all forms of communication on the phone, email and in person.
