Bunratty Castle Hotel & Luxury Spa

We had the most amazing day, celebrating our wedding on the 03.10.2020. Marion and the team truly did everything and more to ensure we had the most special, meaningful and memorable day! With everything COVID threw in our way, Marion was there as a constant support - keeping us updated and reassuring us they would do everything in their power to give us our day as it should have been, and did they deliver! It was that and much more! All the details in their beautiful newly renovated function room, to the most amazing meal created by Lee and his amazing team - looking back we wouldn’t change a thing! We got invaluable time with our nearest and had the best weekend celebrating! Words cannot cover or describe our thanks and the appreciation we have for you all! We are already planning our staycation back when we can! Keep up the amazing work and stay safe through these surreal times!

We got married in the bunratty castle hotel on the 28th of February, all I can say is if you are considering booking here for your own wedding, do it! the food was amazing, Lee did an excellent job, it was top class restaurant quality and everyone loved it! Marion the wedding coordinator could not do enough for us to ensure our day went perfectly. The wait and bar staff in the castle suite were all lovely, attentive and professional. The room looked beautiful, we were not rushed out of the castle suite in any way even though they were due to start renovations on it the very next morning..and the party was left go on for as long as we could handle in the residence bar ???? Danny the general manager looked after us over the whole weekend, and when storm jorge on day 2 looked like it could jeopardise our night 2 celebrations Danny said with out a second breath they would organise something in the hotel if it came to it, this was such a relief considering the large number of people staying for the second night. Megan at reception was also so lovely during our stay and offered her support wherever needed to ensure we got our day 2 celebrations. At our meal tasting Mary looked after us so well and helped us to pick our wedding menu. Lastly Sandra sprted our room bookings and ensured everything was perfect from that side of things. A huge thank you to everyone from bunratty castle hotel who made our dream day a reality, we will be reliving it for years to come ?

Hi Marion, I don't even know where to start with thanking you for everything you did for us to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We had a fantastic day. It exceeded all of our expectations. The food, staff and attention to detail was second to none. Your help over the final week in particular was amazing. All the last minute changes were no problem. We really appreciate it. We hope you have a well deserved rest over these few days for Christmas. Thanks again, Niamh and Liam

Hi Marion, Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. The day was perfect and the place looked beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. We would most definitely recommend the hotel to other couples. Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas. Kind Regards, Noreen & Neil

We cant thank Marion and her team at Bunratty enough for helping us make our wedding day so special. Nothing was ever too much to ask and they were always only a phone call away. Our day ran so smoothly and it was everything we could have hoped for. We would highly recommend Bunratty Castle Hotel to future Bride and Grooms. Thanks again to everyone at Bunratty.

We had our wedding day on Wednesday the 4th of December. From start to finish it was amazing. Marion went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with everything and nothing was too much for her!! Even having to source us a supplier for a selfie mirror at 4pm on the day of the wedding when our supplier let us down!! Our wedding day couldn't have been any better and the setting was just magical and all the guests commented on the gorgeous food and the great service. Thanks a million for everything xx

We had our wedding on the 4th of October. Marion and her team couldn’t have been more amazing. We organized the wedding from England and nothing was too much for them to do for us. From the minute we checked in the day before to the minute we checked out the day after the staff were more than accommodating with what we asked for. I would highly recommended Bunratty for your wedding. The food for the wedding was amazing and Marion made the day so stress free and relaxed.

Amazing Wedding Venue We were married in September 2019 and held our reception in the Bunratty Castle Hotel and couldn't have asked for a better day. Marian and the staff at the hotel put us completely at ease and no ask was too big. Marian went out of her way to help us plan the perfect day and thought of every little detail. Lee, the Chef, prepared a beautiful menu for the meal and was even able to accommodate a surprise last minute dietary requirement for a guest. The Venue is stunning and they made the reception room more beautiful than I could have hoped. The bridal suite was a wonderful place to unwind after a long day and the staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and happy. It was the perfect day and we are so grateful for all the hard work of the staff in this gorgeous hotel. Thank you so much Bunratty Castle hotel for our wonderful memories!

Hi Marion, Just a quick note to say thanks a million for all you did for us over the past few months to help make our day very special. The room looked amazing on Saturday and the cherry blossom tree table plan looked so lovely. We honestly had the best day. Thanks again, Maria and Noel

Thanks to all at the hotel for a fantastic experience last Friday for our wedding . Heather initially but Marion couldn’t have been more helpful. Her attention to detail, positivity and friendliness helped us no end. We thank her and would highly recommend her and the hote

Marion and Brian were just the most amazing two people to deal with from the first day we met them. We cannot thank them enough for making our day so special!

We had a fantastic day for our wedding at Bunratty Castle hotel. Marion was excellent from start to finish. She was very easy going nothing was an issue for her and very professional to deal with. The grounds,reception and function room looked outstanding on the day . The food was excellent and have had lots of comments on this !

Everyone has praised the food, the hotel rooms and the staff! All the managers and all staff on the day were exceptional.

We had a fabulous wedding in Bunratty Castle Hotel. We had a great time and our guests and wedding party had a great time. Marion Moore Murray is an amazing wedding coordinator. She was the calming influence on a day where everything that could go wrong went right. She and her staff at Bunratty Castle Hotel rolled with everything that we threw at them. Every little mess up we had was cleared up with confidence and aplomb by Marion, Brian and their staff. We are so appreciative that they gave us the chance to have an amazing day. They were so considerate to our needs and requirements all day. Even one screw up where a child's bed was supposed to be installed into a grand-parents room was smoothed over at 1.30 in the morning. Nothing was too small or too big

Hi Marion First of all thank you so much for working with us to make 9th May such a wonderful day for us. We would not have enjoyed the day any more then we did and we have you and all the staff of Bunratty Castle Hotel to thank for helping us. You were a delight to deal with. We have just put up a review on Facebook and will do likewise on TripAdvisor.

I just wanted to say, on a personal note to yourself, that you were absolutly fantastic to deal with. Nothing was an issue & you were a calming presence for me, especially the week of the wedding! Marion, you are a major asset to Bunratty & an all round fab human! Thanks so much for everything.

I had my wedding in the hotel in April and it was just first class from start to finish. Marion and the team were so helpful and considerate on our wedding day. She completely put our mind's at ease! Jordan on the front desk was extremely helpful on the day too. From the reception staff to the banquet staff, they were all amazing!!! Everyone raved about the food afterwards. Couldn't have gone better!

My Wife and I would like to thank everyone at Bunratty Castle Hotel for making our wedding so special. The whole day went perfectly. The staff were flawless and worked so hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. W would like to thank Marion who put us at ease and ensured any requests were no bother, it was a delight to have you as our planner and you are a huge asset to Bunratty Castle Hotel, Elaine was a scream to meet. The room was decked out perfectly and the entire evening ran like clockwork. We cant thank you enough. We would like to thank everyone on the front desk who helped everyone check in and provide an impeccable service. Our family and friends loved the hotel and the service they received, no doubt they will be back, All our love Danny Wadey and Nicole M. Timmons.

When my details had been passed from person to person following Dave leaving and Heather going on maternity I have to admit I was very worried, but I definitely need not have been any bit worried!! I was actually a little disappointed that we only got to meet Marion, the new wedding coordinator, the week of the wedding because we had such a laugh that few days!!!! The day of the wedding EVERYTHING was flawless...(even if my cousin did knock the tower of glasses!! hahaha) I have been getting compliments and calls every day since the wedding, congratulating me on a brilliant day, but this is largely down to you and the team there at Bunratty Castle Hotel providing such a fantastic day for everyone! I really cannot thank you enough I will 100% be recommending you to any newly engaged couples, because there is definitely nowhere in the country that could provide the same level of service and attention to detail that you did! Thanks again

We got married here on the 15th of Feb & would highly recommend it to any brides and grooms to be, everything about the day was just amazing :-)

Myself & my Husband Deaglan cannot thank Bunratty Castle Hotel enough. The Wedding Coordinator, bar staff and banquet staff were all so helpful in every way and made the whole day flow from start to finish. We did not have to worry about a thing. From the Drinks reception, to the Dinner it was so professional. The Chef even personalized each persons desert plate on the top table with their name! We have received so many compliments on the dinner and the wine which was recommended by the hotel themselves. They were always on hand. We had arranged a New Years Eve Midnight Surprise for our guests "The Hit Machine Drummers". The Hotel took care of meeting them and giving them access through to the Banquet hall unseen and this was done without myself or Deaglan having to leave our guests. The hotel was decorated exactly the way I wanted it from Table centre pieces, pictures, decor to the flower wall. They took care of everything exactly as we requested. WE could fault anything. Personally the hotel made the whole day so perfect effortless for us that we were both able to enjoy the day take it all in without any issues We cannot thank you enough for helping make our day special. We will certainly be recommending Bunratty Castle Hotel to everyone.

Extremely helpful and friendly wedding coordinator and the food was amazing!

I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the service we received for our wedding in Bunratty Castle Hotel. Everyone in the hotel was amazing to us in the lead up to our day, in the preparations and on the day itself. On the night before the wedding we had a family meal in the hotel. The staff set the table with the same center pieces that we had selected for the wedding day. That night they helped us set up the room. I had forgotten to print a really important picture for a bit of DIY I was doing. Elaine from the hotel let me do into the office and helped me print and present the picture. Even in the days after the wedding the staff went above and beyond for us. We had the best time on our wedding day and have the hotel to thank.

Couldn't recommend Bunratty Castle Hotel enough. The venue is lovely & they couldn't do enough for us. We worked with Heather & nothing was too much trouble.

A pleasure to deal with.

The venue was great on all aspects coming up to the day everything we asked for we received. The only let down was a few small things on the day but nothing that anyone but ourselves noticed

Amazing wedding venue with amazing staff and the best quality food provided.

Our reception and stay at Bunratty Castle Hotel was excellent, all the staff were fantastic and the food was gorgeous. All so accomodating to us, we even had an outdoor drinks reception! Which was extra special!! Everybody remarked how much they enjoyed the Hotel and the service they received. If any couple are looking for a venue then call to the Hotel and see what they have to offer. We loved every minute of it. We could not recommend David, Heather and all the staff enough.

We found the staff very helpful from the word go. They made every effort to accommodate us with any special requests (extra veggie options on the menu, bows for the chairs to match bridesmaid dresses, selection of table arrangements) and we were delighted with everything on our big day. The room looked beautiful, the food was delicious, staff were friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for more!

The wedding team were fantastic. The day went without a hitch and they are total professionals. We had a fabulous day and I would definitely recommend the venue. So many people commented on how beautiful the room was.

The staff (every single member) were brilliant - from management down to waiter/ress on the day were excellent. I would not change a single thing about the day and could not fault anything even if I tried to look for something to fault. They took care of everything and as a result I didn't have to worry about anything.

Great venue, most enjoyable. The staff on the day were fantastic, nothing was a problem. I would definitely recommend as a wedding venue.

Food was beautiful, staff were excellent and very helpful. We are not from the county and they recommended the best church, hairstylists etc. We had such a stress free day. It was perfect!

One word.. Amazing.. Was the best day of our lives everything they did for us I could not thank them enough!! The love sweat and tears they put into everything I don't know where to start especially to heather and David just wow love them guys and love bunratty I will never forget it xx

Where do I start? From my first enquiry they were so responsive. We arranged to visit the venue and were so impressed. Throughout the process of planning our wedding we found the venue approachable, responsive, friendly, and helpful. On the day? They couldn't have been better. The venue was stunning, the food was faultless and our wedding was perfect. Choosing Bunratty Castle Hotel was one of our best decisions. We could not complement them enough.

The team at Bunratty castle hotel were a dream to deal with, they were so helpful and such a pleasure to deal with. I had my ceremony in the hotel followed by the reception and they took care of all the décor and arrangements and even recommend a number of local suppliers to use for photos, music , flowers and the ceremony. I wanted an alternative to the usual 4 course meal and David Shelly gave me a number of options and on the day the guests were delighted with the variety of food and service received. Overall they took care of all the arrangements and the setting was perfect.

The staff and hotel is amazing and on the run up to our wedding no matter what we needed or asked for there was always someone at hand to help day or night ...

The service provided by Bunratty Castle Hotel from start to finish was outstanding. We live overseas and any queries we had were answered very promptly. Nothing was too much trouble, the function room looked absolutely amazing and the food provided was delicious. All of our guests commented on how good the food and service was. Cannot recommend the Bunratty Castle Hotel highly enough.

Bunratty Castle Hotel was the perfect venue! The staff were fantastic!! I was worried that planning a wedding from England was going to be tricky with only 1 trip over before the big day, but I was wrong. The staff made it just perfect. We stayed for a long weekend and many of our guests did the same. Many of our guests commented on how it was such a fantastic venue and how the staff were so much more attentive than the over here in England!! I wouldn't change a thing about our venue! Bunratty made it the best day of our lives!! Xxx

Everything was perfect and they were a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Bunratty.

Bunratty and David Shelly were brilliant. They helped to make our day stress free and thoroughly enjoyable. I was able to contact them at any time and got quick responses to all my questions. They were extremely professional on the day and all of our guests had a great time. They gave us a great deal on the wedding package both with price and flexibility including allowing us to bring in some champagne for the toast. I would highly recommend Bunratty Castle Hotel.

to be very fair on this the service was good on the day bar 1 table ,the issue i had with the hotel came from u could be waiting weeks for call back from the manager or who ever u were trying to reach,what really let the hotel down was the day after paying the bill,no manager that we had dealt with was on duty,should have been better i think .

Hi we cant recommend Bunratty Castle Hotel enough it really is the prefect wedding venue

The staff at Bunratty castle hotel are all so friendly & helpful. In relation to our "big day "we were dealing with Heather and we found her to be very professional and anything we needed on or leading up to the day she was there 100%. The hotel offers a very professional wedding service that can be tailored to the couples needs.the reception room is done to the highest quality - it's a beautiful wedding venue that keeps getting better & better.

Management and Wedding co-ordinators of Bunratty were excellent to deal with - They were responsive to our emails and calls and met with us whenever we requested. They kept us calm :) The staff on the day were fantastic - friendly and accommodating to all our guests - We really felt @ home in this hotel. I wold highly recommend the Bunratty Hotel as a Wedding Venue - 5 star service all round!

Would just like to thank ye for everything ye did for us on our special day,and would also like to thank david for all his help, he was an absolute gem... David, Magurite and Elaine were outstanding throughout the day itself and also during the planning stages. I organised the wedding from London and they made it feel easy to do so. I would recommend the Hotel to friends, every one of the 100 guests at the Wedding commented on the food and the friendless of the staff. One member of reception staff even went out to buy a guest a tooth brush as he had forgotten his! Every detail was perfect on the day and David made us relax during moments of nerves and stress! Thank you so much to all the fantastic staff at Bunratty Castle Hotel. everything about this hotel was perfect in every way! we would have no problem whatsoever recommending Bunratty Castle Hotel. everything was perfect the staff and the service were exemplary especially David and Elaine. We enjoyed every minute of our day and look forward to visiting the hotel again The staff at Bunratty Castle Hotel were amazing in helping us plan our day from the very first day we called out to see the hotel. We had no appointment and just popped in for a quick look ourselves and Lee spent an hour going through everything with us despite being busy with a chess tournament that was on that day. You can tell that David especially really loves his job and it is great to have someone like that involved in looking after your wedding. Bunratty was perfect for us I really don't think we'd have had as good a day anywhere else.

Hi Marguerite, Just a quick email to express our thanks for making our wedding celebration perfect. A special thanks to Javiar who really went over and beyond to take special care of us. John had gotten something in his eye, and was very upset by it...but he had all the staff huddled around him, even washing out his eye for him!! Within a few minutes his eye started to clear and was smiling again!!! All my guests had a great time, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone Many thanks again...

Dear Marguerite, It has been almost a week since our big day and we wanted to express our deep gratitude for the wonderful reception that we had. We really could not have asked for more. We appreciate all that you did for us in the final days leading up to our wedding and your generosity with regard to the final cost. All our guests commented on the wonderful food, service and the beautiful table arrangements. All of your staff were a credit to your hotel but we would particularly like to single out Javier for special mention. He put us at our ease from the very beginning, was extremely attentive to any need that we had and his professionalism, friendliness and courtesy helped in no small way to make our day so special. Many guests commented on his attention to detail and the manner in which he looked after everyone. Again, thank you very much Marguerite for your hard work and for such an unforgettable day. Kind regards,
