We viewed The Glenside as a couple on a wedding evening in January 2024. We had spoken to a few venues but not actually seen them in person, and The Glenside was the first that we viewed. From that day, I knew it was the best place for us to be married. Karen and Aogan go above and beyond for each …

couple individually. On our wedding day, I was greeted as the bride by a red carpet, Aogan and Rhea awaiting, and lots of the Glenside staff to welcome me to my wedding. I honestly felt like a celebrity!!

From the decor to the food, everything was a 10/10, we would score more if we could. The ceremony room was set up so beautifully that we felt like a fairy tale wedding; the chairs and cherry blossom trees were so elegant and bright. The day flowed so smoothly, and I honestly can say it was down to all of the staff. Rhea is a superstar; she made sure we, as the couple, were served first and everything was to our liking. She was amazing with our 2-year-old daughter, too! The bedrooms, including our bridal suite, were absolutely gorgeous, the most comfortable bed we had ever slept in, and the decor is so beautiful, also to mention spotless!

All of our guests have said how beautiful the whole day was and how much they enjoyed the wedding. Any future couples to get married in the glenside are so lucky, and we can ensure that your day will be as fabulous as ours! If I could go back and do the day the same way, I would! Thank you again to Karen, Aogan and Rhea. We could tell how passionate you were about your job and the Glenside Hotel, it shows in your attention to detail and how you all treat each couple individually!

We had our wedding on the 17/05/2025. Karen Aogan and the team are just amazing at what they do. Their packages are great, we had little planning to do, which took so much stress off. They made our day so special from start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was amazing. I highly recommend …

anyone getting married to have a look into their amazing packages, you definitely wouldn't be disappointed. Can't thank you guys enough.

We had our wedding on the 10/12/2024 and from our very first meeting with Karen we felt special. We were gifted with a welcome pack upon our first meeting which made our decision to choose The Glenside a lot easier. What really made the decision easier was the option of creating our own package to …

suit our budget.
Once we made our decision to choose The Glenside, we felt a huge weight off our shoulders as they took care of everything to do with the reception. All we had to do was provide the information to them.
On the day itself, it was just amazing. It couldn't have gone any better. Rhea (the coordinator) was on top of everything and everything went so smoothly. The food was amazing too. All our guests were very happy too. The bridal suite was beautiful, my only regret is we didn't stay another night to really enjoy it.
The following day the staff were still treating us like royalty.
Looking back on everything, we are so happy that we chose The Glenside. We received so much for the money we paid. We definitely got value for our money and more.
I can't wait to return for our first wedding anniversary.

Myself and Jessica had the best time of our lives.
From the moment we stepped into The Glenside, the staff were amazing. We were so looked after on a 5-star personal level. Karen and Aogán (owners) are the most nice and genuine people you’ll ever meet. They made everything feel special and made …

sure they looked after every request we made. All the hotel staff were amazing. The food was amazing, the hotel has just been renovated so the rooms & everywhere look outstanding.
The Glenside will always have a special place in our hearts and we will always remember the time we had. I cannot fault anything at all with this hotel or our wedding, because they made everything go so smoothly. Even with the Storm Éowyn happening on our wedding day, they told us they would make it work and that they did! I cannot believe the effort the hotel had put into our day, even letting the staff stay the night before, so our wedding could go ahead! Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend The Glenside!

From start to finish Aogan, Karen and the team couldn't do enough for us. Planning wasn't stressful at all due to the organisation of the team and everything in the all-inclusive package, there was no looking for a photographer, flowers, DJ, decorations etc as this was all covered and for such a …

reasonable price.
The bridal suite was stunning, and the morning of the wedding was relaxed and fun. We didn't need to worry about any of the details for the ceremony and reception, Aogan guided us and led us through it all, every detail was 100 per cent. Staff amazing through the night, beautiful food great atmosphere. Guests are still contacting us saying it's one of the best weddings they've ever been to. Would highly recommend The Glenside to anyone looking for a fabulous, stress-free wedding.
