hosted over 60 home grown Irish workshops throughout the full
estate over course of two days, taking advantage of the
beautiful surroundings such as watercolor painting classes in
the gardens, foraging vegetables in the farmlands and fencing
by the ponds. The event wrapped up with a stunning Midsummer
themed event in the perfect setting of the courtyard.Anthony and his team were incredibly accommodating to the
logistically heavy event. Allowing us to create a once in a
lifetime memorable event for our client.
Dan, June 2022
Everything was truly perfect and I can't thank you enough for working with me to make it that way. Your staff was also incredible - so friendly and helpful and we love how much they got into the event! So many members of my family/friends commented how great they were and how much they loved the evening.
