In our thank-you speech on the day, we spoke of how coming to the Lodge was like coming home to family. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel and the staff made our day perfect. The attention to detail, care, and consideration everyone gave was amazing. They gave us the much-needed reassurance and calmness when we were most anxious about wedding preparations. The day was flawless, perfect and memorable. The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the management on the ball with every one of our wishes, big or small, catered for. Thanks for the amazing day.

From our visit to see the venue to the wedding day itself, it was a very enjoyable and hassle-free experience. Despite the unpredictable Irish weather, we wished for an outdoor ceremony at the venue – Shamrock Lodge came up trumps. The garden was laid out beautifully for us, and there was a backup plan in case the sun did not shine. After our ceremony, the drinks and canopies reception was laid out beautifully and catered for all dietary requests. It was really important to both of us to have our wedding day at a venue that is well renowned for its great wedding dinners. The Shamrock Lodge did not disappoint; our guests really enjoyed the food. Many of our guests stayed the night, and all highly rated the rooms, service and breakfast. The personal touch of a family-run business cannot be beaten.

We want to thank all the team at the Shamrock Lodge for making our big day so special, we couldn’t have asked for more. If we could do it all again we would. From the first day of viewing the Lodge up to our wedding day the service and communication were impeccable. Our guests were so impressed with the venue for the wedding ceremony, and the quick turnaround of the room. The service and food were amazing. We would really recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone after a wedding venue that really looks after their couple and guests.

There are no words to describe our wedding day, I have been in tears ever since! The emotions are high, they gave us the best day of our lives. I really haven’t got the right words for you right now because I’m just overwhelmed with happiness, there isn’t one thing that we would change about how our day went. All the staff just knocked us off our feet with support and love. I will forever remember all that they did for us.
