We had the most amazing wedding day at Clanard Court Hotel. Everything was taken care of by the wedding team. The food was amazing, and the attention to detail was just so impressive to us. We would highly recommend having a wedding here to any couple.

Everything from start to finish ran smoothly for our wedding. From first contacting Emma, we knew we were in safe hands. All the staff were fantastic and everyone who attended really enjoyed the day. The food was top quality and was delivered to every table promptly. The function room was fabulously …

decorated, the bridal suite was divine and all guests were talking about how nice their rooms were. We'd 100% recommend the Clanard Court as a wedding venue.

What can I say - Amazing!! From start to finish, nothing was too big a challenge, and if you remember the date there were many a challenge.. Emma, Eoin, John and their whole team were a joy to deal with from initial booking till late in the evening the day of they wedding they were always available …

for queries or requests.. ballroom and reception decor was stunning and our guests are still talking about the food on the day (many of who have gone back to hotel for other meals).. We cannot thank the Clanard Court and there team enough for making our special day unforgettable.. We will be regular visitors for many years to come.. Any one looking for a wedding venue make sure you make it your business to check out this amazing hotel!! Thank you all again.. John & Catriona
