At the Garryvoe Hotel we've been hosting weddings since the first day we opened 50 years ago. Hosting your wedding is such a major part of what we do that you will work directly with Stephen, the Managing Director, Aidan the General Manager and Ben, the Deputy General Manager.

The Garryvoe Hotel is also approved to host Civil Weddings and Civil Partnership Ceremonies. We have a number of rooms suitable for civil ceremonies and should couples also wish a spiritual or humanist blessing element as part of their ceremony, we are happy to arrange that. (We do not charge for room hire or set up for civil ceremonies).

It's your wedding: you will deal with one person, who will sit down with you all the way to listen, guide, and help in every possible way. And that same person is on the floor at all times during your big day. We can cater for smaller, intimate weddings or weddings of up to 300 guests. We can do set menus or á la carte. We set a budget with you – and there are no hidden costs. Our weddings are all about you; you will not notice us, but we will be watching every detail, quietly behind the scenes...

Dear Aidan & Ben,

I am finally getting back to normality after our wedding and honeymoon and getting a chance to send emails.
Dave and I just wanted to send you both and all of your team the most heartfelt thanks for the most perfect wedding reception on June 1st.
You were both a pleasure to …

work with and from the day we booked our reception with you in 2017, we could not wait for the day to arrive as we knew ye would have everything in hand. Thank you for your professionalism, warmth, enthusiasm and helpfulness. You were always quick to reply to questions and nothing was a problem.

On the day, the reception was incredible. From the warm greeting received by Eoghan and Ben, to being shown the most stunning reception room, we were blown away by how warm, welcoming and inviting it was. All of our guests commented on the venue, the amazing staff, the outstanding service, the stunning bedrooms and most of all the incredible food. There were clear plates all round. We would also like to mention Laura on reception who was super friendly and helpful over the two nights of our stay. She is an asset to the hotel.
Liz who served on the top table is an absolute joy, the world needs more people like Liz, hard working, kind, helpful and caring.

We will always cherish our memories of our wedding reception and know Garryvoe was the perfect choice for us. We look forward to more weekends away in your hotel.
Thanks again for everything,
Fiona & Dave
