5 Star Service on a budget!
Planning was very easy with Gaelic Park! I had NO vision. Luckily, the team had tons of options, and also great suggestions on decor, centerpieces, even how to tie the sash on the chair. Sharon drew out a floor plan and her and Renatta made sure everything was where I wanted it to be!

The food was great, plentiful and they also have several vegetarian options. Bar package had several drink options, and I don't think anyone went thirsty that evening.
I highly recommend attending their bridal show- you can find a lot of vendors you might need from here, and many of these vendors work closely with Gaelic Park- making day of plans REALLY seamless, as they have all worked well with each other in the past. They can coordinate things like flower drop off, DJ set up all with out you needing to worry when who is showing up and where!
Great job to all, best day ever! See you again soon :)

Absolutely Amazing!
Sharon, Philip and Ronada were instrumental in making our wedding day! Sharon contacted my several times to check in with me. She gave me decor advice and walked me through everything. The day of the wedding Ronada set everything up perfectly and even packed it all back up for me to pick up the next day. The bar staff and wait staff were experienced, quick, and friendly. The food was delicious and hot for every guest! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone!

Gaelic Park is one of the finest halls around the south side. Staff always goes above and beyond the call. Food is terrific, bar staff is excellent, works with us during each event to keep the evening running on schedule. Always, always the best.

The entire staff is knowledgeable and courteous, from the event coordinators to the wait staff, you will always be greeted with a smiling face. From the patrons and bar tenders' Irish brogues to the quaint charm of the The Carraig Pub, you will transcend borders and feel the authentic flare of Ireland when you choose Gaelic Park for your event.
