Bellini's made my wedding. Okay, well my husband gets most of the credit, but the staff at Bellini's did an incredible job. My husband and I were living in London so we only were able to visit a few times before our April 2013 wedding to confirm arrangements. Even though our wedding was very atypical for Ireland -only 60 guests, we brought our own music on a laptop, we made a toastie bar at the back for the late buffet (bringing our own toastie maker), and limited decor- they took care of everything.
On the night of, the whole staff did an incredible job of taking care of our guests, some of whom were picky about food and got some alternate options. Eamon (sp?) was there to attend to our every need. He kept refilling our beverages at the head table so we never had to head to the bar.
Our specifications for the meal were handled expertly. I am lactose-intolerant and they made sure to accommodate with a milk-free soup as a starter. We ordered 2 bottles of wine per table that were laid out for us. For a great price we had a turkey option (no ham because I don't eat pork), beef, and vegetarian option available for all of the guests. We didn't have to specify exact numbers, either; servers went around with plates and sorted it all very easily for us. We were able to pick our own flavours for cheesecake dessert, too! My husband loves Galaxy Caramel and their chefs were able to whip together a Galaxy Caramel cheesecake that everyone loved.
There was a bride's room beside the reception so I could sneak away for a break and leave my purse there.
The bartender was great, as well.
Overall, everything was handled so wonderfully from the planning, to the tea before the reception while we had our photos taken, to the meal and dancing. Everyone did their best to make our night perfect.
They even had a deal on at the time where we got a free brunch the next day with our guests! We had about 20 people for a delicious chicken curry breakfast with, again, great service. They cleaned up after the event and had all of our things organized for us (laptop, vases we had rented from elsewhere for each of the tables, etc).
I can't recommend Bellini's any more highly as a wedding reception venue. They made my wedding day relaxing and enjoyable. I had the best day of my life and Bellini's was a big part of that. read more
