We had a very memorable day for our wedding at the Clanard Court Hotel. Emma was amazing from the start and was always there to help with any questions we had. The day ran so smoothly for us. John was incredible with service, too, throughout the day. We can both honestly say we had a Ball and felt …

so at ease. They looked after everything. The gardens were beautiful, and the food people are still talking about. 5* service & a 5* venue!!!

We knew the Clanard Court Hotel was our perfect wedding venue as soon as we stepped through the doors to the beautiful lobby and were greeted by the super friendly wedding co-ordinator Emma. Everything about the hotel, the atmosphere, the staff, the food, and how we were made to feel didn't compare …

to any other venue we viewed. Every single member of staff is invested in their jobs and even more so their customers. Emma couldn't have done enough for us from the get-go. I always stayed in contact and had some great suggestions in the build-up to the big day, and what a day it was. We had such an amazing day. Our guests are still talking about it. From the setting, the beautiful function room, gardens and accommodation to the delicious food but, most of all, the staff. I know the Clanard Court Hotel hosts numerous weddings throughout the year, but they made our guests, and we feel like it was the only wedding of the year. They were all so pleasant and seemed to enjoy the day themselves. It's great to see so many people passionate about their jobs. Our guests want to return for dinner, overnight, or a special occasion. We can't thank Emma and all the staff enough for the most incredible day and hospitality we have yet to experience anywhere else in Ireland. Looking forward to our next visit. Kind regards Lisa and Stephen

We had an amazing day from start to finish at the Clanard Court Hotel.

I literally could not recommend this hotel highly enough. From the very moment we booked the hotel the wedding planner Emma was really engaged and so invested to make sure every detail of the big day was right.

The little …

white chapel on site is simply beautiful, elegantly decorated and perfectly sized for around 100 -150 guests. It’s a wonderful feature of the hotel, and all our guests were in awe of it.

The food in the hotel is delicious, they do beautiful warm canapés and the food for the main event was absolutely fabulous from start to finish.

The hotel itself is beautifully decorated. The honeymoon suite is lovely and very spacious, with a beautiful four-poster bed, and all the guest rooms are lovely. The main ballroom/suite for the wedding is lovely and bright, with one side looking out on beautifully manicured gardens.

The service was impeccable. This is a family-owned hotel, and all the staff are extremely warm, friendly, and accommodating. They were also incredibly attentive and will absolutely ensure every detail of your big day goes perfectly.

Finally, the hotel has a range of very reasonably priced packages to cater for all budgets, making it very possible to have a very high-quality wedding at an affordable cost to meet your budget.

It’s hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our wedding and how perfect the venue is, but I would 100% recommend this hotel if you are planning a wedding, you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you Emma & all the staff at the Clanard Court Hotel!

Amazing venue for our wedding. I can't fault this place at all. Emma is an amazing coordinator and cared for everything during our wonderful reception. Our guests complimented this venue and are still talking about their great day. The food was delicious and plentiful. There is great choice …

available in all packages for menu and drinks reception, people are still raving about the cocktails, we highly recommend these. The accommodation is one of the best we've ever seen in a hotel. The bridal party and I also stayed the night before, and we had the best time getting ready in the wonderful suites for the big day. The Moposa app was a lifesaver in keeping track of invitations/budgets and doing our seating plan. All the Clanard Court Hotel staff are so welcoming to all guests and couldn't do enough for us and our wedding party on the day. I feel it's important to add that this venue is extremely child-friendly. The kids were treated as mini VIPs for the whole day; they loved all the fuss that was made about them. The Clanard Court Hotel is one of the best wedding venues for your special day, and I highly recommend it.

We got married at the Clanard Court Hotel on 23rd March 2024. We worked with Emma throughout the process, and she was fantastic to deal with; she went above and beyond to make our day special. The venue, staff and food are fabulous, and our guests are still talking about their great day. John looked …

after our guests, even the night after, and was great to work with. I highly recommend visiting the Clanard Court to meet Emma and the team.
