Knockranny is a special place, with very special staff. Claire and her team made our wedding day the most special experience of our lives, in fact the whole experience leading up to the wedding was made so easy by Claire that we didn't have to worry about anything. Every last detail we asked for was …

taken care of with no fuss. Claire's attention to detail and knowledge of every possible scenario really made us so, so relaxed. The venue itself was just absolutely amazing. The common trend we are hearing from all our guests is 'the food was the nicest we have ever had at a wedding" and we agree with our guests....it was incredible! The whole day and night was way beyond what we expected and it was just flawless. One of the things we loved so much about Knockranny is that you are made to feel so special, we were welcomed by the owners themselves and made to feel so welcome. We stayed an extra two nights after our wedding and even though there was another wedding the next day, Claire still made sure every time she saw us to say hello and check that we were OK. We both really couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we can't wait to go back for our anniversary. Thank you so much for giving us the best day of our lives.

When describing weddings, it is often that you hear the words “best day of my life” used over and over. The gravity of that term starts to wear off. Make no mistake about it- Knockranny House truly made this the single BEST day of our lives. My husband Briocán and I are living in Boston but …

always knew we wanted to get married back where he and his family is from. We assumed wedding planning from 3000 miles away would come with a long list of challenges but thanks to Knockranny’s Wedding Coordinator, the phenomenal Claire Concannon we couldn’t have been more wrong. Claire simply was everything you hope your wedding coordinator would be. While she is organized and works to get everything done, she also has this calming way about her. We couldn’t have been less stressed over our international wedding of over 300 guests- we just knew Claire and her team had it under control.
It’s been just about 2 months now since our wedding and we are still getting texts, calls, and shouts from our guests that we run into that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. The best Craic. The best food (seriously- this was one of the things we heard the most. The food was UNBELIEVABLE). The nicest hotel rooms. It’s so nice hearing we chose a place that our guests were treated as well as the bride and the groom themselves were. We couldn’t believe how accommodating the hotel was to our party, not just on the day but the entire weekend we were there. Everyone was just SO kind and made you feel like royalty.
We truly can’t say enough great things about this place. My hope is that anyone reading this ends their wedding venue search here and gives Claire a ring and begins planning their big day with her and Knockranny- you will NOT regret it!

Claire was absolutely amazing and did everything to make the day fantastic for us. Everything was run fantastic. Thanks you so much. Only two things which I think was disappointing was reception. They made a number of mistakes with people's checkins. My cousin got charged which I was meant to be …

paying for as she was bridesmaid and I heard from a number of people that the reception experience was not good. The second thing was not all the drink we brought in was given out. A number of my uncle's were left without drink including Colm at one stage. Then I found out there was so much drink left over. I think it's a bad policy of the hotel not to give all the drink out as they want people to buy the drinks in the hotel. Two small things but overall an amazing hotel, excellent food and a wonderful wedding coordinator. Thanks you so much again

We had a family wedding at Knockranny House Hotel and Claire and her team created the most beautiful atmosphere well beyond anything we imagined. It was the perfect setting for our unique and personal wedding day.

We had the most perfect wedding at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. You couldn't ask for a better venue. The hotel itself is magnificent, with stunning gardens and an amazing view of Croagh Patrick - it really is the perfect backdrop for your wedding pictures.
We planned our wedding from Toronto, so …

didn't actually see Knockranny until the day before the wedding, and driving through the gates, I knew we had picked the right place.
Everything was amazing, no detail overlooked. The bridal suite was simply amazing, perfect to get ready in the morning of the wedding.
We had our wedding ceremony at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa and the ceremony room itself was beautiful, very elegant, as was the area where we had the drinks reception after.
Claire, the Wedding Coordinator at Knockranny is an absolute dream. I placed my trust in her completely. Because we were planning from abroad, I wanted someone I could rely on and Claire was certainly that, and more. I left a lot of the details to her and on the day she ensured everything ran smoothly. She is so organized and has thought of every single detail.
Our guests have all commented on the standard of food at our wedding, and I couldn't agree more. The food was outstanding and the service was second to none.
Overall, Knockranny House Hotel & Spa made our wedding day one we will never forget. If you are looking for a fantastic venue, with stunning views, outstanding food and service that is second to none, then look no further.
