Clontarf Castle Hotel

We were thrilled to bits with the staff at Clontarf Castle. Our wedding day was amazing. The food was exquisite. We didnt need much decorations, the hotel is so beautiful already. We had our ceremony there too and had we only had 70 guests so we didn't go for the function room but had our meal in the restaurant and then down to the Indigo Lounge so there was lots of variety. All our guests had a brilliant day even those who don't normally like weddings, for many it was the best wedding they were ever at and the photos taken in the castle are fab.

My husband+I strongly recommend Clontarf Castle to any couples looking for a wedding venue. Our experience started off with Ciara showing us around, giving us some history+showing us our options in terms of menus+rooms we could use. We knew after that meeting with Ciara that we wanted our wedding at this place. We were then introduced to Rachael who was our wedding co-ordinator. Rachel was absolutely amazing to deal with, nothing was ever any trouble for her+she took so much stress out of it with her organisation skills+giving us advise that we can genuinly say that organising our wedding was so stress free+so enjoyable. Sarah was also incredible to deal with+we found her advise+experience was so valuable too. We cant recomnend this venue enough+we had a thoroughly amazing day. Thanks to all the 3 girls for your professionalisn, help+support+thanks for decorating our room so beautifully as well :)

Clontarf Castle is a beautiful venue, and we fell in love with it from the moment we entered. Both the inside and the outside are really impressive. The food was delicious and the wedding co-ordinator Rachael was fantastic. Everything was well handled and always dealt with in a professional way. The staff in every area, the bar, reception, and in the hall itself were very attentive. The negatives were very few. We got married in August on a hot day and we found the main function room (The Great Hall) to be extremely hot. The air conditioning wasn't adequate. The only other negative was the food tasting. This takes place on a weekday which was very disappointing. Other hotels offer a tasting on the weekend where you can relax and enjoy some wine if wanted. As my husband had work that day, and work the next day, we didn't feel like it was as enjoyable as it could have been. Other hotels offer a night's stay on the day of your tasting, and this would have been greatly appreciated. This was the most disappointing thing as we felt it could have been more special for us, and we felt that it wouldn't have caused much hassle or stress to the hotel to organise. In all, we were really glad we chose Clontarf Castle as our wedding venue, and I would recommend it to other newly engaged couples!
