Wedding Testimonial
On behalf of David and myself, I would like to thank everyone at the Clarion Hotel for making our wedding day such a special day. Initially, we were opting to get married abroad. However, we’re so glad we didn’t. As well as your beautiful hotel, what really caught our attention from day one is the excellent and friendly staff you have working in your hotel (which is rare to find in this day and age). Re our wedding preparations, nothing was too much trouble for them and the attention to detail they provided with everything was superb. Along with all your staff, we especially would like to thank Charlene and Sinéad (Conference Department managers) for all their hard work and kindness.
On the day, everything from the welcoming Champagne, the drinks reception, the fairytale like room, the wonderful food, to the penthouse we stayed in was completely magical. We got many complements re the venue and even to this day quests still comment on the amazing food they received.
We will forever look back on it with fondness and tenderness and to this day always say to ourselves that we made the right decision in choosing the Clarion Hotel and wouldn’t change a thing. Indeed, this was confirmed even further, last week, when we went back for our complimentary stay and meal in the Clarion. We were totally overwhelmed by the service we got-staff were so nice and knew it was our anniversary, we got a huge bedroom and were totally shocked when we saw champagne, fruit, chocolates and a note from Charlene congratulating us. I must say the attention to detail was superb and we were made feel so special all over again. We will certainly be recommending the Clarion Hotel to others.
In short, words cannot describe our heartfelt appreciation for everything. Indeed, thank you seems so very small in light of the perfect wedding you gave to us!!
Best wishes and kindest regards, Geraldine and David.
