Dream Weddings in Athlone

at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel

As a family-run hotel, we know that the little things matter; the warm welcome at the door, the carefully set table, the attention to every single detail. We have had the privilege of celebrating love in all its forms and each wedding becomes part of our story, just as we hope we become part of yours. Our gardens have heard vows whispered under ancient branches, and our halls have echoed with laughter, music and generations of love. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of each and every momentous wedding that we host, what a privilege to be a part of it! At our beloved hotel, we don’t just provide a venue; we share in the joy, excitement, laughter and love that make the day unforgettable.

We honestly cannot thank everyone at Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough for making our wedding day on 30th May 2026 so incredibly special and memorable.

What made Shamrock Lodge so special for us was how comfortable and welcome we felt. It never felt like we were just another wedding — it genuinely felt like home. The staff were so warm, friendly and accommodating, and they couldn’t do enough for us or our families.

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more, and so many of our memories from the day are tied to the incredible people at Shamrock Lodge. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had the most amazing day celebrating our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. The entire team went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. Communication was seamless throughout the planning process—nothing was ever too much trouble. The food was delicious, the service was efficient and professional, and the venue looked stunning on the day. Our guests are still raving about the meal and how friendly and attentive the staff were. The personal touches and attention to detail truly made us feel special, and we’re so glad we chose the Lodge for our big day. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From the first time we popped in to view the Shamrock Lodge, to our meetings with Rebecca, the wedding co-ordinator, and the wedding day itself, we were made feel so welcome and at ease by all the staff in the Shamrock Lodge. We had the most perfect wedding day here. The ceremony room was set up beautifully and Alan and Paddy made sure everything ran like clockwork on the day, and we were just able to have fun and enjoy the party. The grounds are stunning for photographs and the food was delicious. We felt like the hotel was our second home for the weekend, we were so comfortable there, and lots of the staff made the effort to know our bridal party by name. All our guests complimented the Shamrock Lodge and said they had a brilliant time. We were so delighted with the wedding package the Shamrock Lodge gave us. We’d highly recommend them for a wedding.

We decided to go ahead and contact the Shamrock mostly based on feedback from other people who had attended and we are very glad we had taken this route, because the Shamrock team were amazing and competent with the ceremony and dinner. On the day, we were taken care of with utmost care and that made the day unforgettable not only for us, but for our guests as well, whom only had great things to say about the service provided, like the abundance of food and drinks for reception and dinner and its quality. Thank you, Shamrock Lodge Hotel.
