Testimonials from our guests
"We had our wedding reception in Castle Oliver in September 2009, From our first meeting with Emma in Castle Oliver right through to our first dance, we had no doubt that Castle Oliver was the venue to celebrate our wedding day. It has to be seen to be believed, every single guest commented on the beauty and charm around every corner within this historic venue and continued to do so for many weeks thereafter. Being from Dublin, I came to Limerick to get married, because there is no venue that can compare with Castle Oliver in Dublin or the whole of Ireland. Emma, Declan and Robert fulfilled our every need to make it our perfect day. We had the full run of the Castle for the entire weekend, giving every guest the most amazing experience, leaving everybody with extremely special memories. If you want to feel like a Princess for a day, you're going to need the perfect castle.
Emma and Declan, thank you so much for our experience in Castle Oliver, it will live with us forever."

"I wanted to plan a 40th birthday party which would be fun and different, especially for my American friends coming over to Ireland for the first time. Castle Oliver appeared to be what I was looking for and in the end it surpassed our expectations! All of my friends, Irish and American alike, were impressed with the castle and what we got for our money. All of the bedrooms and en suites were very comfortable with modern conveniences, albeit in an authentic castle, and the downstairs rooms provided endless entertainment. Emma Cormack, the owner, was very friendly and pleasant and extremely helpful in making the plans and Robert was a brilliant tour guide/butler/raconteur. Not only would I recommend Castle Oliver to anyone looking for a very special getaway with friends or family, but I intend on going back for a repeat visit."

"Thank you for an amazing weekend! Everyone had a wonderful time. The castle exceeded all our expectations. It is truly beautiful. I have been recommending it unreservedly already.
The accommodation was spotless, the beds comfortable, the rooms beautifully laid out, fires ready to be lit and the butler Robert was very helpful and friendly. The gardens are wonderful also."

"Our experience at Castle Oliver was truly magical and unique. We wanted a wedding with a difference and achieved that and more in this amazing location. The Butler, Robert, was incredibly helpful and enabled us to put our own individual stamp on our wedding. Our guests raved about the castle itself; we had a band in the ballroom, a singsong in the front hall, and a chill-out area in the library so all needs were catered for! We couldn’t recommend this venue enough."

"My partner and I had our wedding at Castle Oliver with a group of 50 family and friends it was a fantastic weekend with photographs and memories that are timeless. I would recommend anyone to have their wedding at this historic private property."
"Castle Oliver is an unknown gem but has been part of my life since the mid 80's, when it was stripped of everything of value and the wind blew through it. Thankfully since Declan and Emma's ownership castle oliver has been given a second chance, their attention to original detail is nothing short of visionary genius. When they asked me if i would re-stencil the dining room I was thrilled, to be involved in this project is a pleasure, to be part of its history is a privilege. My relationship with castle oliver and its owners will last as long as I will."
