Event Testimonials

“We were looking for the perfect venue for a private dinner to impress some international business delegates who were playing in the Pro-Am competition at the Irish Open in 2015. The Carriage Rooms exceeded our expectations in every way - the venue is beautiful and Keith and his team were so helpful (and patient!) during the planning stages and at the event. Our guests were suitably impressed. Looking forward to working there again.”

“The Order of St John in Northern Ireland has held two events at Montalto Estate, both to pay tribute to the volunteers of St John Ambulance. Each occasion involved hosting high profile visitors from England, in addition to our locally invited guests. Without exception, those attending at both The Carriage Rooms and the mansion house found the day absolutely delightful. The rural setting within well kept private grounds, excellent catering and exceptional staff crystallised beautifully to guarantee two truly memorable events.”

“The Carriage Rooms at Montalto Estate provided a fitting venue for the ‘Visit Belfast Ambassador Awards’. The top class facilities, superior standards of service and outstanding attention to detail from the Montalto team, proved to be a model example of the kind of prestigious conference and event experience Northern Ireland can offer visitors from all across the world.”

“Montalto Estate is quite simply in a different league of hospitality in Northern Ireland. Nothing is left to chance and the attention to detail in everything they do is sublime. My clients have been blown away by the experience at the estate and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.”

“The facilities at Montalto Estate are second to none, with good parking, very well-presented covered facilities in The Carriage Rooms and a fabulous walled garden. We used the house, lake and manicured lawns as a stylish backdrop for our Ballynahinch Harvest and Country Living Festival. It is always difficult to launch a successful larger scale event in a new venue but the back-up from the staff at Montalto, including that from the catering contractor, meant that the planning, preparation and delivery went like clockwork.”

“KPMG has held a number of events at Montalto. The team provides a consistently high standard of service, from the planning stage through to delivering the event. They are responsive to queries and any changes that need to be implemented along the way. The food never disappoints, the event spaces are exceptional and the grounds are beautifully maintained.”
