Carrickdale Hotel & Spa

We recently celebrated our wedding in the Bernish Suite in the Carrickdale Hotel. On planning our Special Day there was only one venue for me and I never looked at any others as the Carrickdale Hotel holds special memories for me down through the years.

We met with Rachel our wedding coordinator a few weeks before our Big Day and straight away she put me and Dave completely at ease and any nerves that were lingering just disappeared because I knew that we just had to show up on the day and Rachel would have it all under control.

On the day itself Rachel was there to greet us as soon as we arrived into the hotel and was always on hand to answer any queries in a professional and friendly manner. The staff were always attentive and nothing was too much trouble and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect from start to finish.

Thank you Rachel and the team, you are a credit to the hotel and no doubt will be making more bride and grooms day extra special just the way you did ours! Keep doing what you do and keep smiling :)

We booked our wedding in March 2025 to be married in June 2026. Well what can i say only a decision we will never regret. Our wedding was the most magical and special day and nothing we would change about our day. Michelle was our wedding co ordinator. An amazing lady that just took all the stress and strain away from planning to our special day. The staff in the Carrickdale are just amazing and so efficient and friendly and any problems is sorted very promptly. For anyone thinking of booking your special day with the Carrickdale you wont be disappointed. The whole planning was just seamless from start to finish. We cannot thank David, Michelle and Sorcha and all the team for everything they done for us. The hotel itself is just beautiful and the gardens complimented our wedding pictures beautifully. We had the most amazing day and certainly wont be a stranger to the Carrickdale. Its the kind of hotel it feels like home and once you stay you just keep coming back. Michael and Rita 27.06.2026 xxx

We recently got married in the Carrickdale Hotel in June this year. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish!
Our wedding Co-Ordinators Jessica and Laura couldn’t have done enough for us to ensure our day went as smoothly, stress free and as magically as we had planned. The drink reception and our meal was second to none with all our guests complementing the food and drink. The staff were amazing ensuring everyone had enough food and drink throughout the meal and as well as the Buffett towards the end of the night. We had our wedding photographs in the hotels garden. The garden itself is simply beautiful and Our photos turned out great with this as our background! We also stayed in the bridal suit which was perfect for after the celebrations. We celebrated day 2 of our wedding in the Bernish suit. Again the staff service, food and drink was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t fault one thing with our wedding weekend and we would genuinely highly highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel to any couple planning their wedding.

A very special thank you to Michelle, the manager, who was simply amazing. From the planning stages right through to our wedding day, she made everything so easy and stress-free.

Thank you to Michelle and the entire team at the Carrickdale Hotel for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. We would highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the best wedding at the Carrickdale hotel. Michelle was our wedding coordinator and is an incredible woman. Everything ran so smoothly from the very first booking of our wedding to leaving the hotel after the wedding was over. Food and service was exceptional. Thank you so much everyone to the reception staff, bar staff, waiters/waitresses, chefs. Would love to be doing it all over again. Beautiful hotel and gardens for the wedding photos. Thank you again Michelle for everything. From the Hannaways

We recently had our wedding at the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa and couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish.
The team were incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail and willingness to help really took a huge weight off our shoulders, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.
The service was outstanding across the board — from the reception staff to the wedding coordinators and everyone working behind the scenes. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with genuine care.
The food was also absolutely amazing and received so many compliments from our guests. Every course was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and served perfectly — it really added to the overall experience of the day.
A special mention must go to David Connell, who was a fantastic support in organising everything. He was always on hand to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide reassurance whenever needed. His help, professionalism, and dedication made a real difference throughout the planning process and helped ensure the day ran seamlessly.
We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding such a memorable and stress-free experience. We would highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa to any couple looking for a venue that truly takes care of you every step of the way.

From the moment we went to the wedding showcase we knew this hotel was for us. Having talked to Amy and the way she talked to us and was always on point sealed the deal. The lead up to the wedding the hotel always kept us informed and gave us ideas of what would work best. The day we arrived for our reception everything was taken care of we didn’t have to worry about anything the hotel definitely took control of everything for us even where to have the pictures taken. Amy and her army of waiters and waitresses dish out the food fair quickly and professionally and always going around the tables to see if everyone was happy and even dishing out second helpings of the main course. Bernish suite was a great place to have our wedding as the band could set up on the stage while our speeches were on going very streamlined and also the rooms are above the suite so most of your guests don’t need to go back over to the main part of the hotel. Second day of the wedding was great from the children enjoying the pool and leisure facilities to the older generation enjoying a coffee in the secret garden cafe and walking around the gardens. Rachel looked after us on our day 2 celebrations in the pinewood suite for food and drinks for a small family day two they where in no hurry in making us leave the suite and the food was well got on the second day.

So I would definitely recommend the hotel for any occasion. Amy and Rachel will definitely look after you along with all the staff in the Carrickdale also the gardens are fantastic for photos definitely don’t need to go anywhere else for photos. It’s a credit to the gardeners who take pride in there work

Thanks again
Michaela and Gerard

We recently had our wedding day at the Carrickdale Hotel. We had the perfect day from start to finish.
The grounds are beautiful and the perfect place for our photos. The Bernish suite was also beautifully decorated.
The food was superb. Any dietary needs were accommodated and everyone commented on how delicious it was!
A special mention must go to Jessica, our wedding coordinator. She went above and beyond for us. She was very responsive throughout the planning process and handled everything flawlessly! We were able to enjoy every second of our day as she kept everything running seamlessly.
We would also like to give a huge thank you to the staff. Everyone was so friendly and professional!
We can't thank everyone at the Carrickdale enough for making our day so special. We would definitely recommend it!

We recently had our wedding in the Carrickdale Hotel,. From the moment we met Michelle the wedding co ordinater we knew this venue was for us. From start to finish, process the planning and even the day was so well organised/planned by all the staff . The food was outstanding, The Bernish was every brides dream.
Michelle, the wedding coordinator, who was a breath of fresh air no matter time day or night, She made the whole process effortless for us both, so for that we’d like to thank you dearly.

We’d also like to give a huge thank-you to all the staff

We’d highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel for any occasion even a wee night away but especially if you planning your big day. Everything was fantastic and we will
Definitely be back .

We got married in the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa recently and could not imagined a better experience from our first visit until the end of our celebrations.

From our initial meeting with our wedding coordinator Michelle, we were made to feel welcome and put at ease with how accommodating Michelle and the staff were with our personal preferences for the wedding.

The build up to the wedding was made as stress free as possible as everything was laid out clearly and precisely for us to know what we had to do beforehand.

The day of the wedding went as smoothly as we could have hoped - from the drinks reception which effortlessly accommodated our 200+ guests to the meal which was faultless. Every one of our guests that we talked to commented on not just the quality but the quantity of the food and the staff were brilliant at making sure everyone was fed on time.

We also had our day 2 here and again we were treated as well as we could have imagined. Food and drink was plentiful and of a very high standard and we loved every minute of it.

All in all we could not be happier with our choice of venue, it was a hit with both us as the wedding party and every one of the guests.

Neil & Cliona

We recently had our wedding at the Carrickdale Hotel, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, the day was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding — our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was (especially the duck rolls, they were unreal!).

A special mention has to go to Michelle, the wedding coordinator, who was an absolute star. She made the whole process effortless for myself (Stephen) and my wife, Louise. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her professionalism and warmth made the day run seamlessly.

We’d also like to give a huge thank-you to all the staff — everyone was so friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything ran like clockwork, and it really allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

We’d highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel to anyone planning their wedding — it truly was everything we could have hoped for and more.

We recently got married at the Carrickdale Hotel and we could not recommend it enough . From the moment we went to the wedding viewing we fell in love with it. Amy our wedding coordinator was just amazing . Nothing was ever to much for her she was always so prompt with email reply's, she was so kind and helpful and always put us at ease. Such a genuinely lovely person. The food was absolutely gorgeous all our guests commented on how lovely it was. The gardens were absolutely stunning our guests loved going for a walk in them . All the staff were amazing and so helpful we couldn’t have asked for a better venue . Thank yous so much.

On August 14th, John Griffin and I were blessed to get married at the beautiful Carrickdale Hotel in Co. Louth—a day that will live in our hearts forever for so many reasons.

From the very beginning, our wedding coordinator David Connell was nothing short of extraordinary. Planning a wedding from New York while getting married back home in Ireland was always going to be challenging, but David made what felt overwhelming become calm, organised, and reassuring. Time differences, late nights, endless questions, last-minute changes—nothing ever fazed him.

But what truly sets David apart is not just his professionalism—it’s his humanity.

At the time of our wedding, my dad was very sick, and that alone carried an emotional weight I can barely put into words. David understood this without ever needing it explained. He was compassionate, thoughtful, and deeply respectful, making sure the day was not only perfect—but gentle, meaningful, and special for my dad and our entire family.

From quiet moments to thoughtful details, he made sure my dad was comfortable, included, and able to experience the day in a way that meant the world to us. That kindness will never be forgotten.

There were late-night calls when he wasn’t even working, messages answered instantly, and moments where I knew—no matter what—David had everything under control. Because of him, John and I were able to truly be present, to breathe, to enjoy every second, and to create memories we will treasure forever.

Our wedding day was seamless, emotional, beautiful, and filled with love—and so much of that is because of David’s care, dedication, and genuine heart.

If you are ever considering the Carrickdale Hotel for your wedding, know this: you are not just getting a coordinator—you are getting someone who truly cares.

Thank you, David, from the bottom of our hearts 🤍
We will be forever grateful.
— Donna & John

It has almost been 2 weeks since my husband and I had our wedding reception in the Carrickdale Hotel. I really cannot recommend them enough. Michelle our wedding Coordinator made everything so seamless. Any questions or queries we had were always answered in a timely manner. Michelle was an absolute God send, and nothing was too difficult. Not only was the service second to none, the staff were all so friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem, they were on hand for every request. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the room was absolutely amazing, the tables and room were decorated to a very high standard and added hugely to the atmosphere.
The food was 10/10 and plentiful.
The gardens were absolutely out of this world, you would not see better in a 5 star hotel. They are a credit to the Hotel and also to the 1 grounds man who keeps the garden in pristine condition
It's great to see this hotel so busy, given how well it's run and always great to see the same staff working there for many years. This always tells a good story about a place.
Happy staff means happy customers. And that's what we were.
Lastly, the value for money was amazing. I would highly recommend The Carrickdale Hotel for your wedding day, you won't be dissapointed.

Best Regards,
Dwayne & Louise Long

From the moment we went to our viewing appointment we knew we wanted Carrickdale as our venue and Rachel as our coordinator! Everything from the word go was so effortless on our end , the Carrickdale done nothing but provide us a fantastic experience as husband and wife to be!

The wedding itself was like we were royalty and the only couple to ever get married in the Carrickdale! Every single staff member was so attentive to us and all of our guests, the grounds and gardens were perfect for amazing photos and videos, the venue and food was nothing short of extraordinary (our guests are still talking about their meal!) the rooms/suites were fantastic for all of our guests and the atmosphere in the hotel the next morning was perfect for all of our party to process the day before!

Every single request was no problem to the venue and our coordinator went above and beyond to do everything possible to make the day so smooth- it was the wedding of our dreams and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the Carrickdale- we truly were blown away. Thank you so much to the whole team at Carrickdale x

Myself and my partner had our wedding in the carrickdale hotel on the 1st of July, David was our wedding coordinator, the service from David from start to finish was outstanding he went above and beyond and explained everything and answered any questions we had, our wedding couldn’t have went any better. David and all the staff at the carrickdale hotel were very professional and accomadting from start to finish. Myself and my partner would highly recommend the carrickdale hotel to anybody that are thinking of having there wedding at the carrickdale hotel. Thanks again to David and the staff from mark and Michelle Reilly

We recently had our wedding at the Carrickdale and we truly cannot put into words how perfect everything was. From the very beginning, the team made the whole planning process so smooth, and on the big day, everything exceeded our expectations.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to our incredible wedding coordinator, Breda. Her professionalism, warmth, and unmatched attention to detail made all the difference. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she made sure every part of the day ran like clockwork. We honestly can’t thank her enough.

The venue itself is stunning. The decorations were beautifully done, and the room was set up perfectly – just as we had envisioned. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and made the most beautiful backdrop for our photos. Our guests haven’t stopped complimenting the setting!

The staff were amazing – kind, attentive, and so helpful throughout the entire day. The food was absolutely delicious, and we’re still hearing from guests about how much they loved every course.

For the quality of service and the incredible experience we had, the price was extremely reasonable. It was worth every penny and more.

If you’re looking for a top-notch wedding venue with excellent service, a beautiful setting, and a team that genuinely cares, we can’t recommend the Carrickdale highly enough.

We recently had our wedding at The Carrickdale Hotel & could not recommend it enough. The staff, food, rooms & service were all amazing. Nothing was ever too much & they couldn't do enough for us. We would also like to highlight how amazing our wedding organiser, Rachel was. She was outstanding & made our whole booking stress free and run better than we hoped! Highly recommend for weddings, functions and night stays here. Thank you for making our day so memorable.

Finally recovered from the most amazing weekend at our wedding at the Carrickdale Hotel. I cannot thank Amy and all the staff for their support and professionalism over the entire weekend and all our planning. Nothing was too much an ask and all my guests have been raving about how much fun they had the beautiful food and how well fed they were.
My only complaint now is that it is all over but me, my husband and lots of of family and friends all looking forward to returning again soon as it is such a family friendly hotel.
Thank you again for giving us the best weekend that I’m sure we will be talking about for a long time.

All our love

Daniel & Fiona Johnston

I got married at the Carrickdale Hotel on Saturday 15th March 2025. The staff were absolutely amazing and nothing was ever a bother, they were so friendly and polite. Our wedding coordinator, Laura was outstanding she went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and it really was. Our day would not have been the same without her. All our guests had a brilliant time and everything went so smoothly. The gardens were perfect for our photographs. I would definitely recommend future brides and grooms to get married here. We will definitely be back to stay there and enjoy the lovely spa!

Our whole wedding day was amazing from we pulled up at the hotel on the Friday afternoon until we left on the Sunday.
The general manager David - was absolutely fantastic with everything was asked for and he was so accommodating towards us. Everything ran so smoothly.
The food, the bernish suite and everything and more was amazing! We also had day 2 and the staff couldn’t have been more obliging towards us. With all that being said I want to say a big thank you to David and all the staff at the Carrickdale for making our wedding the best day ever! ☺️

I would like to say thank you so much to Michelle & staff for everything yous done for us on our wedding day yous made it feel so special I will always be grateful, All the staff were very polite and friendly to everyone.
From the moment we met Michelle at the wedding show you made us feel so comfortable and even leading up to the wedding any questions you would answer straight away you are very professional.
The night before our wedding I arrived to stay and had a lot of bags to sort and was stressed out but the receptionists and night manager told me to relax and they help me sort through my bags and they took everything to venue room and my bedroom for me they also were very kind and give me a different room to stay in because it was bigger as I was getting my hair and makeup done in that room. Both the bedroom I stayed in the night before and the bridal suite were absolutely stunning with gorgeous views from the window.
Our wedding meal was lovely all food was fab, after the meal we went back into the drinks reception while the tables were been taken off the dance floor which I found that to be a bit long but apart from that everything was brilliant.

I couldn’t fault the Carrickdale at all they made it our dream wedding day.

Thank yous

Devin & Courtney

We recently had the absolute pleasure of hosting our surprise wedding at the Carrickdale Hotel, and we cannot recommend this venue highly enough! Our guests arrived thinking they were attending our engagement party, only to be surprised when we revealed it was actually our wedding day—and the team at the Carrickdale made the entire experience flawless from start to finish.

From the moment we began planning, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate every single request we had. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail truly made the day unforgettable. Special thanks to Rachel, whose support and expertise were invaluable. She and the team made everything run so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.

The food was exceptional, the service was impeccable, and the drinks flowed freely all day. Every one of our guests raved about how fantastic everything was.

Thank you so much to Rachel and all the incredible staff for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. If you’re considering hosting an event here, do it—you won’t regret it!

We got married on the 7th of September. I want to say say a huge thank you to the Carrickdale for hosting our wedding reception. I cannot put into words how utterly amazing this hotel was. From the stunning garden to the gorgeous food and the most attentive wonderful staff.

Rachel was our wedding co-ordinator and I really cannot thank her enough. She was always the other side of the phone answering any questions I had. Nothing was to much of an ask for her. Rachel really went above and beyond for us. Her friendly and postive attitude always had us feeling at ease and made us realise we made the right decession booking our weddjng here. She truly is a credit to the Carrickdale.

I also want to mention the beautiful set up of the room. It was out of this world. The apple blossom trees on the tables, the welcome reception set up and the table plans are a few to mention, where all decorated to a extremely high standard that our guests thought we hired in a company for the decor.

As mentioned above the Gardens are breathtaking. I cannot wait to get our photos back from the photographer because i just know the garden backdrop is going to make the pictures.

The feedback we had from all our guests has been nothing short of amazing and this was truly down to the Carrickdale

Thank you so much for having us.

I will be recommending this hotel to everyone and I know my guests will be doing the same.

Mollie & Stephen

We got married on the 4th September 2024, every part of the planning, lead up to the smallest of details was made so much easier thanks to the wonderful Michelle and breda, nothing was to much. The bridal room was beautiful and spotless, the gardens where out of this world. Honestly couldn't recommend enough. We had a few extremely fussy eaters on the day but they couldn't fault the food every plate was empty. All in all the staff, hotel, gardens, rooms, food was AMAZING. This hotel we would go to now more often for dinner and an overnight stay. There is a gym, swimming pool and hot tub. There is also a spa that you can book into and just relax, cant wait to go back. Breda the day was fantastic especially thanks to you as you had to listen to all us as the drink set in 😂 thank you all so much.

From the day we enquired about booking our wedding to the big day, the staff in the carrickdale couldn’t have been as nice and helpful. It made booking the wedding and lead up to the big day so stress free. We had our civil ceremony in the hotel and the room was perfect and decorated so elegantly and inviting. The level of detail the hotel provided was impeccable. The reception and food was divine and the feedback from our guests was the same. The food was great and service for the meal was perfect. During the meal guests never had to ask for a drink they were topped up when needed. The small details that the carrickdale provided made the day so special to personalised menus with a picture of us newly married, to a lovely gift for our son and a beautiful present for our new home to remember the day. If I was to pick a venue again, in a heartbeat I would pick the carrickdale. The grounds are breathtaking and great for pictures! The service and level of detail was next to none. Breda Pickett was an absolute god send organising and making sure that everything went so smoothly. Breda made sure everything was perfect and any requests we had was no trouble for her and her team.

Highly recommend.
Amazing venue, friendly staff, highly attentive wedding coordinators.
Amazing food.
Stunning gardens for photos

We had an amazing day from start to finish. The food was amazing and the staff were very helpful and attentive

We recently got married at the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa. Since we first viewed the hotel we knew this was our perfect wedding venue! We had our civil ceremony in the Bernish suite and reception also, the room was just perfect and the gardens absolutely beautiful for our photos. Michelle was our coordinator and we couldn’t fault anything about our experience with her, or the rest of the staff. Michelle was very responsive to any and all our questions leading up to the day and very helpful in deciding the smaller details. On the day everything went seamlessly and all our guests commented on how well organised everything was, thanks to Michelle and the rest of the staff at the Carrickdale. The honeymoon suite was so good, we are so glad we extended our stay an extra night! Would 100% recommend. Samantha and Ritesh

We got married 3 weeks ago in the Carrickdale and it was the most amazing venue. Nothing was a bother and the gardens was such a bonus. Every single guest has said how nice the food was and the staff went over and above for us all. Highly recommend.

Peter was so attentive fabulous staff.

We recently had our wedding here on 28/6/24 and I cannot praise this venue enough. From the moment we entered the hotel on a wedding open day last year, we knew this was the venue for us. David and his team were unbelievable, so helpful, they took the stress off us completely and we didn't have to ask for anything the whole day. The Bernish Suite was perfect for our party of 160 people, it was beautifully decorated and the servers and bar tenders were so helpful. The food was out of this world, big portions and they even came around and offered everyone second servings. Our guests have raved about the food all week! The wedding package itself was great value for money and offered so much more than other local hotels/venues. The staff really went out of their way for my father in law who has limited mobility, they gave him a very comfortable room that was close to the reception so he didn't have far to walk which we really appreciated. The rooms themselves were beautiful and the honeymoon suite was lovely! The hotel gardens were perfect for our wedding photos, the flowers were in full bloom and the gardens are immaculate. Our photos have turned out amazing! Lots of our guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you so much to David and his team, you made our day so special and we really can't thank you enough!

We recently got married at the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa June 24. Growing up the Carrickdale would have been our family go to spot for any family event so I knew we wouldn't be passing it up for our wedding day.

From we first met with Amy everything was so easy and anything we needed was never a problem. She was very responsive anytime an email was sent she would have been back to us straight away and more than accommodating in ensuring anything we needed was sorted. We had our reception in the bernish suite which was fantastic great space beside the gardens where we had our photos taken which were beautiful with their beautiful flowers in the background. The reception area was also beautifully decorated by the carrickdale Martina Crilly this was a great add on that the carrickdale offer as we had very little to do in terms of decorating which was great as it took that little bit of stress of you.

We also had our second day in the hotel in cagneys. This was a great space as it had everything needed to set up some music for guests and the bar which kept the guests happy. They also provided food for this in a buffet style which was just what everyone needed at that time.


My husbands family travelled from Wexford and all of them could not compliment the hotel more for their hospitality and service.

Thanks again to the Carrickdale and Amy for making our day so special it was a day we will never forget 😊

The Carrickdale Hotel is were your not treated just as a guest, your treated like family. We got married in May and only booked it at Christmas with the wonderful Rachel, when we were thinking about our wedding it was only 'The Carrickdale', and our guests were actually delighted with some saying they were fed up of gimmicky barns, houses and what not. With the Carrickdale there is a class about them, nothing was an issue or obstacle everything was taken care of with such professionalism and grace. The hotel gardens for the photos are absolutely stunning and the photos I've already seen are just amazing, with lots of hidden areas to explore and get some beautiful photos. The level of care and attention given to everyone and the welcome we got was just heart warming and the staff had great giggles with our 3 little daughters and they felt so special. The reception food and drink was beautiful and I'm still having our guests talk about the amazing scones on arrival. You won many hearts with them. The main dinner was as always 5 star with the Carrickdale.. the food was served quickly and plenty of second helpings for anyone wanting more which for a country wedding there was many! The food was to die for and I've got so much compliments on it since. A lovely sentiment that touched us was when Mr Mc Parland the owner came out to chat to us and welcome us to the hotel and to congratulate us on our wedding. Rachel a word of special thanks to you as nothing was to much for you.. when our band fell through you sent us lists of bands to contact. All the prep beforehand and any ideas or requests I had you were like "ill take care of that" I especially remember your warmth, kindness and honesty in some decisions. I am delighted you were part of our day. Many thanks for everything.

Fantastic venue and wedding coordinator Rachel was just so attentive and relaxed. Everyone who attended our 10 year vow renewal raved about both the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Not one complaint from the 40+ guests throughout the whole day and night. Can't recommend the Chicken Ceasar salad as a starter enough. We were able to personalise every aspect of the day and we both Can't thank Rachel enough for making it a special and memorable occasion.

Where do I start, we got married recently in the Bernish Suite of the Carrickdale and all we can say is Awesome.
From our first meeting to checking out after our big day, everything was relaxed and easy going.

Rachel was our co-ordinator and she could not have done anything more for us. This was re-validated for us by the large number of compliments we received the day after our wedding.
From the food, to the staff and even the rooms. Everything was top class.

We would recommend any couple looking for a special place to share a day that will last a life time to please reach out to Rachel and the team at the Carrickdale. It will be one of the best decisions of your life.

From the moment we walked through the door to enquire about the availability for our wedding date (only 16 days before our date) the incredibly Laura Begley treated us so kindly and thoughtfully that we knew we had made the right choice with our wedding venue.
Laura was professional and warm, guiding us through the process and all the choices the beautiful hotel offers with great care.
We mentioned in passing that we decided to choose broccoli instead of cauliflower, the groom's favourite, for colour on the plates. What was served to us on the top table? We wee bowl of cauliflower! So thoughtful and detail oriented. That is just one example out of many such kind and thoughtful examples that Laura provided to make our day special.
The food was exceptional. Tasty and generously portioned and hot! Extra portions were offered should anyone have been fit to eat them after the feast we ate.
Our guests were welcomed with tea, coffee, Prosecco and bottled beer. A close eye was kept on what our guests preferred and the amounts provided for each was adjusted accordingly.
Whilst our photographs were being taken Laura and the staff kept checking in on us and hydrating us with iced water - it's warm work getting your photos taken!
When disaster struck and the grooms surprise birthday cake had an unfortunate accident, it was all sorted by the time we heard about it! The chef had reconstructed and re-iced it!
I suspect it looked better after the accident than it did before!
The entire staff looking after us that day treated everyone like royalty. Our guests have been contacting us all week about how it was the best ?wedding they'd been to in years? and that is entirely because they felt so minded in the beautiful room and by Laura and her team.
Our Honeymoon suite was beautiful as was breakfast the next morning.
Thank you to all the staff in The Carrickdale for making our day such a very special one for not only ourselves but for our guests.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had our wedding in the Carrickdale Hotel in December 23 and we were very happy with the quality of the service we received. Rachel was our coordinator and she did an excellent job, very flexible and easy going. The drinks reception room was set up so well and it set the perfect tone for the rest of our big day. The food was great and the portions were very generous with many of the guests complimenting. All in all a great day and couldnt of asked for a better level of service.

We had our Wedding in the Carrickdale Hotel & Spa on December the 8th, 2023.
Our Wedding Coordinator was Rachel Doherty. Rachel was a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond with every aspect of the planning and delivery of service on the day of the wedding and for our day two celebrations.

We could not fault a thing from the day. All of our guests complimented the accommodation saying that bedrooms were very generous in size, food was delicious and the service from the staff was incredible. Our wedding day was perfect and the hotel had a huge role to play in this by providing such a welcoming and helpful atmosphere for all. Guests with children felt their needs were met very well.

Rachel was extremely organised and made us feel very at ease throughout the planning stages by giving us a time frame of what to expect on their end and things we could be doing from ours in the meantime. Honestly we felt we didn't have much to do as the Carrickdale's Wedding Packages offer so much. From table plans to table centre pieces it was all covered.

Rachel was also excellent at recommending other wedding suppliers that would regularly do weddings in the hotel which was great as they were familiar with the venue.

We felt the communication was fantastic and staff were very prompt to respond to any queries we had leading up to the day and closer to the wedding Rachel was available around the clock to answer any questions we had.

We couldn't recommend this Venue enough for a Wedding. The food, atmosphere and service we received were impeccable. We really felt so well looked after. Thank you!

We were very well looked after by the Carrickdale and had a fantastic wedding! From the food to the staff everything was 10/10!

Michelle Barrett was absolutely amazing at coordinating our wedding, her professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding. Her knowledge and experience is clear to see and everything was meticulous, she made our wedding spectacular and stress free. The venue itself is so beautiful, the gardens are so pretty. The wedding packages offered are such good value for money.

We just had our wedding in the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa this past weekend. We are over the moon with the service we received the months and weeks prior to the day and on the day itself!
We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team especially our wedding co-ordanator Michelle who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day and was to our specifications! Our guests noticed who well everything went on the day and had made sure to tell me how amazing they thought the service was as well. An absolute credit to Michelle and the whole carrickdale team! You can really trust that they will have everything done the way its supposed to be and have no worries at all about anything not going to plan.l
We had a number of guests with food allergies who were all catered for with no trouble whatsoever and who were delighted with their meal on the day!
As well as a number of guests who travelled from all over the world who had never even been to Ireland before and were staying at the venue, who couldn't get over the service on the day!
We are so delighted that we have these amazing memories of our wedding day to reflect back upon and we can honestly say we wouldn't change a thing!
Thank you so much to all who helped out on the day behind the scenes also, amazing! We just wish we could do it all again!

We had our wedding on the 19.10.2023. Our day couldn't have ran anymore smoothly than the Carrickdale made it. Rachel was our wedding coordinator and she was nothing short of a perfectionist, responsive and attentive. She was amazing at her job from we booked to 3 years later when we tied the knot! Everyone commented on how lovely the food was and the service. Highly recommend this outstanding hotel to any couple getting married. The grounds are the hidden gem!! We flew off to America the morning after with our children and Rachel went out of her way to make us all packed lunches for the travelling. Super nice and greatly appreciated!

We chose to have the Carrickdale as our wedding venue on 6th October. The day was perfect from start to finish. The food was superb. The staff are so professional, we met our event manager Rachel on the day we went to view the hotel initialy and she remained with us through all the planning of our wedding! She is brilliant at her job. Nothing was too much to ask, extremely organised and all our needs were catered for.

We recently had our wedding in the carrickdale hotel. I have absolutely not enough words to explain how amazing our coordinator and the staff were. They looked after absolutely everything and we had not a single worry. A special mention to Rachel our wedding coordinator who was just amazing. She was friendly and professional from the moment we met her until the day itself. Herself and her staff were fantastic. Thank you so much carrickdale hotel for making our day so special and one we will always remember.

From the first day we went to view the venue we were treated with a level of attention that I really don't think we could get anywhere. The management ,staff and particularly Michelle, couldn't have done anymore for us.
On the day and night of the wedding they were all perfect and the following day in the secret garden was every bit as well organised. Truly the carrickdale hotel made our wedding
Thanks for everything, Peter and Caitriona Mc Kenna.

Wow! What a venue for a wedding. Not only did I fall in love with the hotel when I went to view it, but after meeting the most friendly staff I cancelled my viewings for any other venue. Peter won me over with his amazing helpfulness and personality and I knew I wanted him to be my wedding host in that perfect venue. Nothing was an issue. As I was marrying a Scouser we had over 100 guests staying in the hotel for 2 to 3 days and each and every person spoke about the staff, the food, the gardens and comfort of the hotel, with many booking a return stay for our baby's christening. Everybody has said they have never been to a better wedding and that is done to how well we were looked after by thus amazing hotel. The comfort is next level not to mention the attention to detail. If you are a bride book it asap as I can guarantee you will not find a better more caring staff and venue to take all stress away from you and make your day absoutly perfect. Peter, you are Increidable thank you for our very special weekend
Lisa and Jamie

The Carrickdale is an absolute dream wedding venue! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by its beauty and charm. The picturesque gardens and elegant reception / ceremony and dining area provided the most stunning backdrop for our special day particularly the photographs and everything was on hand and on site so no need for travelling anywhere which gave us more valuable time to spend celebrating with our guests .

The staff were great, ensuring that every detail was taken care of, making the planning process seamless and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, their professionalism and attentiveness kept us relaxed and at ease throughout. The catering was exquisite. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Our guests were delighted, and many commented on how they enjoyed the meal, service and the generous servings they were offered.

Special thanks to Rachel for looking after us so well on the day - including acting as impromptu photographer, cake builder and MC extraordinaire!

We cannot thank David our wedding co ordinator and his team enough for giving us the most amazing wedding day! David helped us organise our day from start to finish he was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and answered all our queries and ensured all the preparations were completed. Nothing was too big of an ask and they really went out of their way to ensure our day was perfect. All of our guests were so complimentary of the staff and the venue which is half the battle keeping everyone happy. The food was incredible the servers were on the ball, checking each table regularly to see if they needed anything extra but it was plentiful. The meal was so quick, no delays or long wait between courses which is what you want at a wedding! The room the bernish suite was decorated spectacularly and took a lot of the worry out of it for us as we didn't have to set out anything we brought ourselves, the staff looked after everything. You wouldn't need a wedding planner with this venue as the staff are regimented and the attention to detail is second to none. We would encourage and have encouraged anyone looking for a wedding venue to go here as without them our day wouldn't have been half as special. 10/10 for our day, can't fault one thing, just wish we could do it all again.
Thank you,
Niamh and Philip Mc cann

The Carrickdale Hotel & Spa provide that absolute wow factor for any wedding couple walking through those doors. Do not look any further.
We were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service we received from the moment we booked our wedding until the very end of the night. Our Wedding Co-Ordinator David was on hand for anything we needed or any questions we had. He takes great pride in his work and in looking after the wedding couple. The staff went over and beyond to exceed all our expectations.
The food was exquisite and all our guests are still raving about the meal to this day. But more than that they are talking about the sheer level of professionalism and service from all staff members to every guest and not just the bridal party.
A perfect wedding venue that has absolutely everything you could possibly need. We could not have asked for anything more. Stunning landscapes gardens, food to die for and outstanding service.
Myself and my wife are looking forward to coming back and celebrating our anniversary for years to come.

From our first interaction with the Carrickdale Hotel, and our wedding co-ordinator Rachael, we couldn't have been happier! Rachel couldn't do enough for us on the lead up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself she had everything under control. They were so flexible with us and worked with all of our suppliers seamlessly. I said more than once that Rachel and the Carrickdale were the only part of the planning I had no concerns with. Even when we came to Rachel with the last minute decision to have day two celebrations at the venue they were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We had the most amazing day and all of our guests said the same thing. The food was amazing, everyone was so well looked after, the gardens are beautiful (even on a rainy day) we really couldn't have picked a better venue.

We got married on 24th June and had our reception in the Bernish Suite in the Carrickdale Hotel.
Emily was our wedding coordinator and was absolutely fantastic, nothing was an issue and the service she delivered was on another level. Eoin's dad had taken unwell the morning after the wedding and he was so well looked after by Emily and the staff working that morning.
The Bernish suit was set up beautifully and the gardens were out of this world, so well kept and the flowers were in full bloom! We had our wedding photos taken here. The bridal suite was lovely, spacious and modern.
The whole day ran so smoothly from the drinks reception, to the speeches, to the meal (all of the guests commented on how lovely the food was!) and from the first to the very last dance. We couldn't fault a thing and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding. Thanks so much for helping to make our day so special!
Eoin & Sarah

We had our wedding on the 9th June 2023 at the Carrickdale Hotel & spa & cannot recommend it enough.
Amy was our wedding co-ordinator & from the minute we booked to us checking out of the hotel she couldn't have done more for us.
Amy would have responded to emails on days off & nothing was ever to much for her.
We had a large wedding (170 guests) on day 1 and all my guests were blown away by the hospitality of Amy & her staff. There was no ques at the bar as they had lots of staff on, the food was hot & served quick & everyone was offered 2nds & 3rds! My guests raved about the food all weekend!
We had day 2 at the hotel with 100 of our guests & again the staff couldn't have been better. Amy has basically set us up like a wedding for our day 2 sit down meal which even included a personalised menu! Later on that evening during our entertainment Amy sent staff out with complimentary nibbles. No detail was missed & I couldn't be more grateful for Amy making the most special weekend of our lives what is was!
The accommodation as always was second to none! We had 76 rooms booked in total for our wedding guests & there was not one complaint from anyone! I'm out bridal suite when we checked in was the most thoughtful little gift, a personalised frame of our names/wedding date to take home with us!
The grounds at the Carrickdale are a hidden gem & a welcomed bonus for taking your wedding pictures! Our guests enjoyed the hospitality of the secret garden on day 2, the food, staff & atmosphere was amazing!
Thank you so much Amy & staff at the Carrickdale for what was the most incredible weekend which will be remembered in both families for a long time! Karla & Anthony x

I had the most incredible experience at Carrickdale Hotel in Ireland for my wedding on 12/05/23. David, our coordinator, was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. From the moment we began planning to the big day itself, he went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

The venue itself was stunning. The garden provided a picturesque backdrop for our wedding photos, with the majestic mountains adding a touch of natural beauty. It was like something out of a fairytale.

The suite where we held our reception was nothing short of perfection. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the elegant décor to the exquisite table settings. Every aspect of the room contributed to the magical atmosphere of our special day.

And let's talk about the honeymoon suite - wow! It was incredibly spacious, providing us with the perfect sanctuary to relax and unwind after the festivities. The privacy afforded by the suite allowed us to fully enjoy our first moments together as a married couple in absolute luxury.

Overall, our experience at Carrickdale Hotel surpassed all expectations. From the breathtaking surroundings to the impeccable service provided by David and the entire team, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. It truly was a day we will cherish forever.

We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Carrickdale. Our wedding coordinator was Melissa who was exceptional. Nothing was an issue when came to both the ceremony and reception. We had a few autistic children in our party and the carrickdale provided all the necessary requirements for each child individually. The food was incredible with many guests commenting on throughout the evening and many weeks after.

We were lucky enough to have the bridal suite for 2 nights and it was lovely to have a room from home. We had a 4month old daughter and the staff throughout offered many times support.

From start to finish we cannot fault the carrickdale our helping us celebrate our special day.

We had the best time at our wedding in the Carrickdale this year! Any questions we had before the day (big or small) were answered so promptly! They were really flexible about numbers/food etc. The setup in the Bernish Suite is really beautiful and we didn't even feel the need to add anything more to the decor than what the hotel already provides. They kept the flow of the evening going perfectly. The guests raved about the food (it was really delicious and they even come around and offer you more during the main course - the starter vol au vents were my favourite though!). They also surprised us with a lovely wedding gift which we will treasure.

The grounds are gorgeous and just perfect for wedding photos.
The honeymoon suite is huge and really lovely!

Huge thank you to David and the team at the Carrickdale for making our day so special!

We had our wedding last week and I cannot recommend the Carrickdale enough. We were a covid couple and of course, kept having to change dates. Despite the ongoing, probably head wrecking, this was no issue to Michelle and her team. Any time I needed to get in touch, they were very responsive, always the same day and nothing was ever an issue. On the lead up to the wedding, Michelle was fantastic. Nothing was too much of an ask and she was a wealth of info and advice. On the day, it was perfect. Food, drink, atmosphere, staff - everything was wonderful. I have received so many compliments about the food, craic and the attentiveness of staff. The Carrickdale know how to pull off weddings and they do it to perfection. We would again like to thank the Carrickdale, Michelle and the staff for making our wedding day so special, Emmet and Mary Clarke.

Our wedding was held in the beautiful Bernish suite of the Carrickdale on the 3rd March 2023.
We have a fantastic experience from booking with our wedding Co ordinator Patrick until the day after our wedding. The team were nothing only professional, helpful and friendly. Every guest were welcomed, the room, food,and service and accommodation was second to none.

I would 100% recommend the Carrickdale for any occasion big or small.

Thank you Patrick and Team

We had our wedding in the Carrickdale on NYE and we couldn't have wished for anything more. The staff, the service & the food were all fantastic.
The planning & build-up to the day and the day itself were completely stress free due to the work of David and his whole team at the hotel. We had a second night for family & friends on NYD and again the hotel organised all for us and was another great day.
We would highly recommend the Carrickdale as a wedding venue. All our guests had a ball (including all the kids) and they too would recommend the venue.

Myself and my Husband James had our wedding in The Bernish Suite of The Carrickdale on 28th December 2022. We could not be happier with how our wedding reception turned out. Everything from the room decor, service, food, the friendliness of the staff - Everything was perfect. We were able to dodge the rain to get some photographs taken in the hotel gardens which have turned out amazing - It is so convinient to have such beautiful on site facilites for the photographer to avail of. We also had a day 2 celebration in the Bernish reception area with a buffet for our guests - Again the food and service was first class.
A special thank you to our wedding co-ordinator David who went above and beyond for us in every way imaginable - He even helped me wash the dirt out of my dress before my photographs were taken which was miles above anything expected of him. We could not recommend David or The Carrickdale more.
Thank you to all the staff.
Mr&Mrs Donnelly.

Wow, what can we say about the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa! Words cannot describe how amazing this venue is. We are so delighted we chose the Carrickdale. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here.
- The venue itself looked amazing- the d?cor, furniture, lighting etc enhanced our photos and provided beautiful background-our photos that portrayed an air of grandeur with the open fires, chandeliers and extravagant flower displays. The beautiful Gardens onsite meant we did not have to leave the venue for photos.
- The staff were extremely accommodating, very friendly, and complimentary and literally couldn't do enough for us and our guests. Laura- our wedding coordinator was fabulous. We had a small number of guest (66) Laura gave us complimentary rooms and allowed us to use the bigger suite for our reception even though the requirement for these extras were a minimum of 90 guests. We had to make so many changes just a few weeks before our wedding but this was no problem at all for the Carrickdale. Laura arranged sandwiches for our guests while we were having photos taken so they would not be hungry waiting for the meal. There wasn't a crumb left and guests were delighted with that little extra thought.
- The food was amazing, there was plenty of it too. There was plenty of staff so none of the guests were left waiting for their meal to be served. Everyone was offered second and third helpings.
- The rooms were very modern, beds extremely comfortable, showers very powerful, spa facilities just divine, outside hot tube overlooking the secret Garden was just so relaxing. We were told there was no rush at all to check out.
- Feedback from our guests- the staff were amazing, most guest remarked the staff were the best and nicest staff they have ever come across at a wedding. Our guests also remarked on the beautiful food, how much food there was and how full they were after the meal.

In summary, we are absolutely over the moon with the Carrickdale- we would like to thank all the staff for making us and our guests feel like VIP's. The staff of the Carrickdale are amazing. We will now be regular guests at this hotel, we love every bit of staying, dining and relaxing here.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and my new husband to personally thank and highly recommend the carrickdale Hotel to anyone looking for the perfect venue, please look no further. The staff and there attention to detail is spectacular. The food was amazing and the function room was like something for a fairytale. For the second we booked our wedding our planning was made so easy but our wedding coordinator the fantastic Amy. We honestly have no words for how special the carrickdale made ours and our guests feel! Thanks you all from the bottom of our hearts for giving us our fairytale wedding a day we will never ever forget. All our love from the new Mr and Mrs Kelly 10/10

Fantastic day, staff all friendly and great food, great service, beautiful garden to get photos taken, lovely hotel and great leisure facilities. Thanks for everything you really made our day special.

We recently had our wedding reception here and we were delighted with everything. We had gotten married the previous week and wanted a more casual wedding reception party and Carrickdale was the only hotel we visited that catered to our needs and understood what we wanted from the day. David the manager made everything so simple and was very helpful throughout the planning. Everything went so well on the day and all our guests commented on the high quality rooms, food and facilities in the hotel. We had a brilliant time and are delighted we chose the Carrickdale for our celebrations!

She is a true credit to the hotel and is amazing at what she does, the whole day ran without any hitches.The gardens are the best hotel gardens I have ever seen and look amazing in our photos.

You won't be disappointed if you choose the carrickdale

We had our wedding here in September 2022 in the Lacys suite, the whole experience was excellent. From start to finish, Michelle and rest of the staff were more than helpful and friendly. From the minute I booked the venue Michelle couldnt do enough for us, from photos in the secret garden to the running of the whole day, Michelle took the stress of myself and really let me enjoy my day. The room was absolutely stunning I couldn't have asked for better. The service of the food was brilliant, we were all eating at the same time and the waiting staff were amazing. I highly recommend Michelle in the carrickdale Hotel as my wedding day was unforgettable from start to finish. From Roisin and Ciaran McAvoy.

Emily and her staff were very accommodating and professional on our special day. They made everything seemleess and took all the worry out of the evening reception. The food was amazing and all our guests dietary requirements were catered for above and beyond.
All parties involved in our wedding had commented to us on how amazing the staff were and the whole evening reception. We will be recommending Carrickdale hotel to everyone in the future. Thanks again for everything guys

We had our wedding reception here in September 2022z

We had our wedding here and cannot praise this venue enough. Highly recommended, the service is amazing and food is in a league of its own. David and his team could not do enough for us and made sure the day ran perfectly, even coming to the rescue with a sewing kit for a ripped dress. The staff were exceptional from breakfast to dinner to reception and housekeeping. The atmosphere in the hotel is absolutely amazing and the landscaped gardens and secret garden cafe is phenomenal for photos. Cannot recommend this highly enough, either for a night away but more importantly a family function or wedding. We had an amazing day and felt so well looked after and would say to any couple considering this venue book now and it's the best decision you could make.

We got married in Carrickdale 23rd July 2022 the venue is beautiful and the gardens are great for wedding photos.

Highly recommend this venue. We had the best day of our lives and can't thank the Carrickdale enough for helping us make that happen.
The food was amazing, our guests gave their highest compliments. (especially the duck)
The grounds are absolutely stunning and perfect for photographs. Also as we wanted family photos and everyone was travelling, it was ideal that we could do these on site.
The staff and service was exceptional. They were friendly, diligent and accommodating. A special acknowledgment and thank you to our wedding co-ordinator Michelle, who went above and beyond and also kept me sane.
There was also a few thoughtful surprises done for us on the day by the hotel, which made everything even more special.
Many of our guests are already planning on visiting the Carrickdale again, whether for a special occasion, nice lunch or get away.
Thank You to all the staff at the Carrickdale.

We had an amazing day at the carrickdale for our wedding. We were blessed with the weather and the Secret Garden cafe is an amazing space where our guests were able to enjoy the outdoors before the meal and dancing in the Bernish suite. Everyone was complimenting the quality of the meal afterwards. A big special thanks to Rachel our wedding organiser who helped to organise and plan our event, listening to and putting in place all our requests leading up to the big day and then effortlessly leading us through the day itself

We recently had our wedding in the carrickdale hotel, the service and staff where second to none, everything was perfect . We had to change our dates a few times due to covid and the carrickdale where a dream to work with nothing was a hassle.
Perfect wedding venue it's a 10/10 rating from us.

I have to say the carrickdale was absolutely fantastic and our special day was amazing. From the organising of the wedding right through to the food, accommodation and overall service. We had many comments on how nice the food was. We stayed for 4 nights with our 2 children and the staff were exceptional with the kids also. One particular young girl working in the bar and serving in the lobby was absolutely fantastic and our 2 girls loved her. They looked out for her every day. Rachel our wedding coordinator was amazing also and catered to our every need. Nothing was ever a bother. Our weekend was perfect.

We had our wedding on 4th March 2022. We had postponed from July 21 due to covid. David Connell was our wedding co-ordinator and he went above and beyond his job. David was exceptional from first meeting him in 2019. Everything from the welcome drinks to the buffet was done with a high level of detail. Our meal was amazing and highly enjoyed by all guests. Thanks again to the Carrickdale for the 5* service from start to finish and to David for his professionalism and attention to detail for our perfect wedding day.

Originally we had a different hotel booked for our wedding July 2020, after having to postpone the original hotel couldn't accommodate us, however we tried our local hotel Carrickdale and from the minute we walked in the door and spoke to David I knew everything would go right and fall into place he just gave off a vibe and we clicked right away. The whole hotel couldn't be faulted for their service to begin with, the quality of food, cleanliness of rooms etc, they couldn't do enough for us nothing was too much to ask. We had 3 dates previous to get married and got covid on Xmas eve 2021 due to be married New Year's Day and had to ring and postpone a 4th time. Our wedding went ahead on 29th of January 2022 and from the moment we walked through those doors the craic and service from all staff especially David was outstanding. They Really outdone themselves and we will talk about it for years to come, so greatful to them all. Definitely would recommend to any upcoming bride & groom to put their trust in the Carrickdale hotel as our day couldn't have went better; even with restrictions at Christmas David was the other end of the phone with my endless calls and texts, and the weekend we had our wedding all restrictions were lifted so that was the cherry on top. Really couldn't say enough about David, he was fantastic

The service I got from this hotel was second to none. I had a covid wedding and at the very last minute the restrictions were brought in before my wedding. Michelle the Carrickdale manager was the first person to contact me and had absolutely everything sorted. It made a difficult situation so much better. I am a wedding singer and I spend a lot of time in hotels doing wedding music and I have yet to witness the level of service and attention to detail that I got from the staff at the Carrickdale and Canal Court. We still get compliments on the food, the service and the beautiful d?cor that was all in place for our wedding at no extra charge. My wedding would not have been the day it was where it not for these hotels. Thank you again for everything.

The Carrickdale hotel and spa went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. From the first meeting with David (online due to lockdown) we immediately were filled with confidence that despite the uncertainties of COVID we would be able to proceed with the wedding however we needed to (with 100 people or indeed 25). David was a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much of an ask. The entire staff provided the best possible service and the food spoke for itself. Military precision (without the rigidity but rather, plenty of hard working staff in the background ) ensured an efficient meal service with each table receiving food prepared to the same, high standard within a couple of minutes of each other. No long waiting between each course ensured the dinner service was completed early with plenty of time allowed for music and dancing given the 12pm curfew introduced just 2 weeks previously. Having researched multiple other venues (again online), the Carrickdale hotel was by far the most reasonably priced without such limitations as minimum numbers for weekend dates etc, not to mention the most beautiful decorations in place for Christmas on our wedding date. Every one of our guests spoke so highly of the service, staff, food and accommodation and as the bride and groom, we found the hotel nothing short of perfection for our special day. Many of our guests stayed on for 2 nights and found the same high quality of service extended throughout the entire hotel/bar and restaurant. We look forward to our next visit and would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone for their wedding!

We have recently got married here in the carrickdale Hotel and we could not recommend them enough. We had Rachel as our wedding coordinator and she could not have been more helpful and was always on hand. The staff were very accommodating with last minute changes and with any needs throughout the day. We have already had so many compliments from our guests on the tasty food aswel as the venue itself! Anyone looking for a wedding venue I would highly recommend the carrickdale from all aspects of your big day. Very memorable day in the most positive of ways

Wow..this is the only word we can use for this amazing venue! Between The staff, the decor, the grounds, the attentiveness honestly being treated like complete royalty from preparations until even after the wedding! We had our wedding reception in the bernish suite in the Carrickdale just under a week ago and we couldnt have dreamed of a more magical day! Nothing was too much trouble for them between our whole bridal party & also the guests were treated like kings and queens! Have never seen staff members so attentive caring and willing to make everyone's day and night effortlessly brilliant! Aside from this the food is 2nd to none! The Chef is fantastic, my guests ranted and raved about how delicious every course was & also how there glass was never empty! The rooms are so stunning, with everything you ever need in them, this was our 3rd wedding date because of covid & they made us feel so calm and assured us with every time they would make it special, put us at so much ease! Special thank you to our wedding co-ordinater rachel..am earth angel is all I could call her! Such a kind selfless helpful and genuinely amazing girl! The carrickdale is blessed to have her she was nothing short of fantastic! every little part of our experience with the carrickdale has been incredible and I would highly recommend them to any newly engaged couple! TOP CLASS! thanks so much again..alex & shane x

Such an amazing venue! We could not fault the service from start to finish! We had a humanist wedding so we had our ceremony at the venue and the setting was fantastic. David the manager looked after us throughout and was excellent at ensuring we picked the correct package for our needs and which was value for money. The food was outstanding! The service by the bar, function, reception and housekeeping departments was all brilliant and very professional. We had a lot of guests who stayed in the hotel and they all raved about it's facilities and service. The gardens topped it all off for some gorgeous wedding pictures. Highly recommended as a wedding venue or any other occasion!

Having spent some time visiting Wedding venues around the area myself and my then fianc?e decided on the Carrickdale Hotel and Spa for our big day. Michelle was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what it would take to make our day special. We had initially booked for September 2020 but due to the pandemic we decided it would be for the best to push things out for a year. We were given a list of available dates for 2021 and after contacting all of our suppliers managed to find a date that suited them all. By the time we got back to the hotel this date had been provisionally booked by another couple but Michelle somehow worked her magic and freed up our chosen date again!
As the big day approached we felt the communication from the hotel was excellent and we were never left wondering about any aspect of the wedding. On the day, the red carpet was rolled out and walking through the doors Michelle, as promised, took all the stress out of our day and made sure all the little details were taken care of, whether it be attending to those with dietary requirements or rescuing my wife's bouquet at the end of the night!
The gardens are kept immaculate and looked fantastic, we can't wait to see them in our photographs when we get them. The food was absolutely delicious, the only problem I had was not being able to eat it all!
The room itself was stunning, even though we spent very little time there we were able to kick back and relax and rest our weary bones? it had been a long day!
Breakfast the next morning really hit the spot, and Michelle was there again like the Duracell bunny making sure we were well looked after!
All in all we were delighted to have picked the Carrickdale as our venue, all of our guests had a brilliant time and myself and my wife would recommend it as the place to go!

We had our wedding in the Carrickdale hotel on the 12th of August. We could not thank the staff in this hotel enough for their amazing service. The wedding coordinator David was absolutely amazing to deal with he went above and beyond no request was too much. The whole experience was a pleasure from booking our wedding with David to the wedding day itself. The food was 10 out of 10 our guests were all raving about how delicious the meal was. The gardens at the hotel are spectacular and are perfect for wedding pictures. The Carrickdale is only 40 minutes from Dublin and offer amazing packages. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a top class wedding venue.

Michelle Barret and her staff done an amazing job at our wedding the quality of the service and the food was excellent all our guests were very happy and had no complaints We would highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel for a wedding

We got married in the Carrickdale Hotel on Friday 9th July 2021, it was an unforgettable day and night, and we would like to thank all the outstanding members of staff who went above and beyond to provide such a great service and meet all our needs. It was our 4th time trying to get married due to covid-19! From the start, David, our wedding coordinator couldn't do enough for us and made sure every single detail was taken care of. The food was excellent and everything ran like clockwork on the day. We particularly recommend the Baked Alaska for dessert, and the way it was presented to our guests was an extra bonus. The reception room was dressed superbly and the hotel gardens were spectacular for our photographs. Our guests were very pleased with all aspects and several commented that it was the best wedding they've been to in a long time. We simply cannot fault the service the Carrickdale Hotel provided us with, and we would highly recommend choosing here as your wedding venue. Thank you to all the staff at the Carrickdale Hotel for making our wedding so memorable. We will always appreciate it. Mr & Mrs Mallon

Myself and my husband have just had our wedding in the carrickdale hotel. This was the third date due to restrictions.
The wedding was better than I could of imagined, from Michelle to taking all the stress away and making the day perfect! Pauline for the service ensuring all our glasses were topped up.
To Peter shane and cara in the secret garden the next day!
The food was the best meal ever the relaxed atmosphere in the hotel, really allowed all our guests and us enjoy every minute and celebrate with us.
I would most certainly recommend the carrickdale to any couple for their wedding!!!
To all the team thank you all soo much love Mr and Mrs McClean

We had booked our wedding for August 2020, with covid restrictions we then changed it to February 2021. With a new lockdown on the cards and with a few days notice we brought the big forward to New Years Eve 2020. What can we say, a day of perfection from start to finish. Michelle and her team pulled out all the stops to make our day extra special. The Carrickdale were so accommodating and went above and beyond, a perfect day from start to finish. Jo and Paul behind the bar were so welcoming and made all our guests feel so relaxed. From the food to the service to the atmosphere it was outstanding! The Christmas decor was fabulous for the photos. We would highly recommended the Carrickdale to anyone, nothing was a problem and we can't wait to get back.

We had our wedding here in December 2020 under Covid restrictions we were only able to have 25 guests. To most people the thought of this would be terrifying but Michelle made our experience so easy and stress free. She helped us out every step of the way and we felt completely taken care of! I cannot recommend the Carrickdale Hotel enough for anyone who is getting married. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was running smootly and that everything was taken care of. I was extremely impressed with how they catered so well to my vegan diet. We really had the best day, despite the restrictions that were in place at the time!

On Saturday December 26th 2020, our wedding reception took place in the Carrickdale Hotel & Spa. We would like express our sincere appreciation to the McParland family, Michelle Barrett (our wedding co-ordinator), and all of the staff of this fabulous hotel and wedding venue. We can't even begin to imagine how difficult this past 12 months has been for the owners, management and staff of the Carrickdale, however not one portion of this hardship, financial or otherwise, was passed on to us at any stage. We originally booked the Lacey's Suite for July 25th and Michelle had planned an amazing summer wedding for us. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone and reschedule. Throughout our entire wedding process, Michelle was outstanding. From the very first phone call in March, Michelle endeavoured to ensure we had the Wedding Day that we always dreamed of. Despite the ever-changing guidelines, Michelle continuously worked closely with us to make all of the necessary re-arrangements. She was always there for us and genuinely cared. We cannot thank her enough.

We always wanted to get married in the Carrickdale, however our Wedding Day exceeded all of our expectations. From the picturesque gardens that we used for our photographs, to the spectacular d?cor and surroundings in the Bernish Suite for our reception, we and our guests were blown away. The service and meal provided was top class, as once again Michelle, and the staff, ensured that everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. It was a day we will never forget.

We would highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel & Spa to any recently engaged couple who are planning a wedding. We certainly hope to be able to celebrate many more happy occasions here in the years ahead and look forward to returning to the hotel in the near future. Look no further for the perfect wedding venue!

We booked our wedding with the Carrickdale last minute as our original hotel cancelled. From the first time we got in contact with the hotel they have been nothing but amazing!! They were so accommodating, and went the extra mile to ensure our day was an amazing day we will never forget! Both David and especially Peter were absolutely amazing!! I'm actually delighted that the original hotel cancelled cuz there was nothing could've matched the service we received from the staff in the carrickdale!! The food was five star! All the guests raved about it! And the service left absolutely nothing to be desired! The accommodation was top class!! The only downside is now that I'm married I can't book them for another wedding!!! They definitely know how to make a small wedding feel like it's as big as the biggest one they ever thrown!

We got married on 3rd October 2020 with reduced numbers at the Carrickdale Hotel, Co. Louth. I want to put up this post to recommend to other brides and grooms how amazing the Carrickdale were to both of us. Our wedding was everything we could have asked for with our closest family and friends. We abided by the social distancing regulations and still had an unbelievable wedding. The food, service and attention to detail were fantastic. If I could do it all over again I would.

We held our wedding reception in the Bernish Suite of the Carrickdale on 02/10/2020. Our wedding co-ordinator Michelle couldn't have done enough for us, especially through this difficult time. Planning a wedding through Covid-19 hasnt being easy but the Carrickdale helped us in every way possible.? Everything from start to finish was brillant, the food was beautful and the staff were great. The gardens are a pertect location for wedding photos and the Bernish Suite decor is stylish and elegant. We highly reccommend the Carrickdale to any couple looking for a wedding venue.

Thanks again for everything.

They only had bad news for us as our wedding was postponed, guest list cut and a curfew time but they were very helpful and still made it feel like a wedding
