We had our little girl Jaime's 5th birthday party here Saturday 19th July at the premises they are…read moremoving from, above the magic carpet in Cornelscourt Village. As she walked up the stairs the air was pleasantly scented and filled with music from Frozen. As she entered the parlour itself she was greeted by three staff who treated her throughout the experience like she was the only girl who ever had a birthday. Star of the show. Yet - they made sure every child got all the treats and services Jaime got in due course. She and her pals were treated to an extensive wardrobe of princess outfits to try on. They has their nails done, their hair done, their make up... They were especially good in making sure all the shy and quiet kids were never left out and were occupied. Then there was the movie frozen on DVD, and all kinds of music from the movie to which they played games. The food was great, there was a popcorn stand, a sweet stand.. Like you'd see at a fair. The place itself was decked out like a princess beauty parlour. Lots of pink from the curtains to the rugs and soft lighting. They only take one party at a time and so there's no conveyor belt treatment. For the time you are there your little one is royalty. I can't pay enough respect to the staff. Simply amazing and were very accommodating when twice the crowd we expected showed up. We walked away with a very happy little girl with memories that will last forever. Her friends are still talking about it and my little boy wants his party there when he turns 3 (they do pirate parties too!) Great job girls. Wonderful place. Simply wonderful.

I can not rave more about this venue. This place is the ultimate in a little girls birthday…read morefantasy! I had my six year olds birthday party there this weekend. Firstly, they take care of everything : food, cake, party bags, all things you need to provide at most all other places. Truthfully, the only thing I had to do was send invitations. The girls are super friendly and attentive to all the little princesses every need. When you first walk in its like a pink explosion...pink everywhere , it even smelled of strawberries! They do the girls hair/nails/makeup & they can dress up. They have a pink bouncy castle & house. They had a bag of dolls for them to play with while a Barbie movie played in the background. They tables were all decorated in pink, with loads of beads for jewellery making & at another table were princess pages for colouring. They made each girl feel special especially if your a birthday girl. At the end the girls put on a fashion show. They fed the girls the typical party food all kids eat, then a tea party with little fairy cakes & sweets. They provide the birthday cake for the grand finale. The two hours fly by in a blink of an eye. The girls had the best time & I would completely recommend this place for anyone with a little girl for a party!!!

My experience with Fab Weddings has been terrible. I was planning my wedding from the states so…read moreeverything was done through email. I was as specific as possible about the amber colored uplighting I wanted and sent photos of exactly what I wanted. Alison assured me they could do amber but on the day of my wedding they were hot pink. This did not work at all with the Gold Salon at Carton House. My mom tried to call them several times to see if they could come fix it and her phone calls were never returned so we ended up just having them removed by Carton House staff. I emailed them after the fact and was given a partial refund but not a full refund. They have yet to give me the remainder of my money back. Not only that but my photographer took the majority of the photos of the venue before the uplighting could be removed so a lot of my photos are ruined. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

We booked a photo-booth with fabweddings for our wedding last November. Pictures were stuck into…read morethe book on dust cover pages by the photo-booth attendant. There was an image in the middle of each photo which we asked to change multiple times on the night, not only because its a terrible image but also because it was a same sex wedding. We complained afterwards but very little was done, the company offered to send out new copies of the images, that is all. By far the worst part of our wedding.

I was taken to Clonard House for my recent hen party, from the moment we arrived we were extremely…read morewell looked after, the staff were amazing, anything we needed they were on it straight away, they were extremely helpful and incredibly fun. There was 21 of us in attendance, we took a step back in time to the downtown abbey era. On arrival, we all dressed as servants to do some of the household chores around the house. The chores consisted of preparing a dessert, this was an apple cake. The cake was amazing, it came with custard, caramel sauce, fresh fruit coulis and vanilla ice-cream. We also had a chamber pot race, all the chores were under the watchful eye of the butler Andy (who has the best beard ever!) Andy was incredible, he was so funny and fantastic at getting us into character. After we completed the chores, we had a servant banquet outside in the sunshine, we had the opportunity to have some of our own drinks (as its BYOB) outside, here they provided our starter option, which was delicious broth. We then moved into the dressing room (which had the best collection of vintage costumes and accessories I have ever seen) here everyone changes attire to become lords and ladies before moving downstairs to the dining room where we had our dinner a choice of old-fashioned pepperpot beef with champ potatoes or roast supreme of chicken, herb stuffing wrapped in bacon with red wine jus served with roast vegetables and baby new potatoes. Then it was into the drawing room for some parlour games, a traditional dance. You have two options here, afternoon tea or the dinner event...I had the best time doing this activity. The staff were just amazing, I don't think I've laughed so much before. I highly recommend this activity for any hen, birthday or team building occasion. Best laugh ever! Thank you again
