"A huge thank you for the wonderful wedding day we had at Borris House. So many people have said how they were blown away by the place and the beautiful views and how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We were extremely lucky not only to be able to have the use of your lovely house but also to have your help and extreme patience in planning the day. Needless to say we had an absolutely fantastic day and night - truly unforgettable. Feel free to pass on our details to any other couples - we would be happy to sing the praises of Borris House as a venue."
