Clanard Court Hotel - Hotel Venue of the Year Leinster

From the very first viewing i knew the Clanard was exactly where i wanted to get married. No question was ever too small and no request was ever to big. Both Emma and John were always the other side of the or email if i ever needed them. They helped in anyway they could and made my planning journey so much easier. My husband and myself could never thank them enough. The food was unbelievable and the service at dinner was brilliant. The amount of food was unreal no one was hungry after as portions were so good. To this day my guests still talk about it. The gardens outside are fab and make beautiful photos. And the little white capel. Where to even start. Its gorgeous!! Emma and John did such an amazing job. If i could do it all again i would in a heartbeat.

From start to finish Emma and John could not have done enough to cater for our needs! No ask was too small or big and they were always at the end of the phone, anytime! Don’t hesitate to book this amazing venue ran by wonderful people.

We had our wedding on the 7th in Clanard Court. Emma and John were always so professional and went above and beyond for us. Nothing was too much for them. We had an amazing day and all the staff were so polite and friendly. The food was exceptional and the day was incredible!!! We couldn’t thank them enough

Emma Ferris and the team at Clanard were fantastic from beginning to end. They were professional, warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful day and the little ones also really enjoyed it and the staff were so good to them. The food was fabulous, cant recommend them highly enough.

We got married in October in the Clanard.
From the 1st meeting with Emma for a chat, to every little detail & the weeks and days leading up to our Big day, every thing was all stress free thanks to Emma and the Clanard.
From a beautiful decorated Chapel, to an amazing function room, including the food and staff, it was our day we dreamed of, made even more special.
Cannot thank and recommend Emma and all the staff at the Clanard.

From start to finish every single part big and small of our wedding was perfected in a professional way to make our wedding day unforgettable. The price in my opinion is unbeatable for the high standard of service we received. The staff were available whenever we needed help, they were also very friendly and kind. I would personally recommend this venue to anyone looking to book a place for their big day they would not be disappointed.

We recently had the incredible joy of getting married at the Clanard Court Hotel, and we truly could not have chosen a more perfect venue. From the moment we began planning Emma and John were a pleasure to work with. Their calm confidence made the whole process enjoyable and stress free. Communication throughout the whole experience was excellent and Emma checked in regularly. Everything on the day ran smoothly, from the setup in the ceremony in The Little White Chapel, to the flawless transition into the reception. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the whole evening felt perfectly timed and beautifully executed. We are so grateful to Emma and John for making our dream wedding a reality. We would highly recommend the Clanard Court Hotel to any couple looking for a stress-free unforgettable wedding experience.

What a day it was, it felt like a fairytale everything was so perfect from start to finish, if I could I'd do it over and over again and not change a single thing.
It really was the best day ever

Clanard Court Hotel amazing staff especially our wedding co ordinator Emma managers John and Eoin. from the moment we met them they where simply amazing, always went above and beyond to make our day our dream.

We had our ceremony in the little white chapel . And it was so gorgeous then we opted for a outdoor drinks reception in the garden. We where blessed with the weather.
Food drink atmosphere everything was perfect

From the moment we booked our wedding the staff in the Clanard Court Hotel went above and beyond to make our day so special. From the drinks reception, to the meal and into the early hours of the morning the hotel facilities were top notch. Out guests commented on how fantastic the meal was and complimented the excellent service on the day. Honestly can’t fault this amazing hotel

Where do we start? The team at Clanard Court Hotel exceeded our expectations. From our very first meeting with Emma, we knew this was the venue for us. The staff were so welcoming when we arrived for our wedding consultation and Emma was a joy to talk with. She made everything so clear for us and it was evident how much she loves her job and the pride that she takes in it. We booked our wedding that day!
Over the next few months, Emma stayed in regular contact, asking about our plans and how everything was progressing. This was a really nice touch and made us feel cared about.
The wedding tasting was brilliant. We met the wonderful John who works closely with Emma and who was full of jokes. He has wonderful customer service skills and really made us look forward to our big day even more.
When the big day finally arrived, my husband and I were so stress free. We were beyond excited but knew we had nothing to worry about with Emma and John there. Everything ran so smoothly. Our wedding was on the hottest day of the year and we really wanted an outdoor ceremony. Emma and John ensured our guests were looked after and did not bring them outside until the last minute possible to avoid anyone getting too hot - on top of that, they also had a cool water station and sun cream available for all guests, it was a lovely touch.
The whole day went without a hitch and Emma and John made sure to check in regularly with us and our bridal party to ensure everything was ok.
Every member of staff was fantastic and made all of our guests feel welcome. We can't count the amount of compliments we received from our guests about the hotel and it's staff. They all went above and beyond.

We also had our day 2 at the hotel and were just as carefully looked after as Day 1.

Everything at the Clanard Court Hotel, from the food, the accommodation, the grounds, the restaurant, bar and staff are exemplary. If we were to do our wedding all over again, we wouldn't dream of changing the venue.

Was all looked after from team had no worry’s on the lead up or the day would recommend to anyone

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of The Clanard Court Hotel and staff. We started viewing venues for our wedding in early 2024 and nowhere really stood out for us until we met Emma and John in the Clanard Court Hotel. We initially fell in love with the gorgeous ball room with beautiful natural light spilling through the wall of windows looking out on gorgeous gardens. It was a perfect size room for what we wanted. Loads of character and personality, nothing like many of the other huge, generic wedding halls we had seen with massive high ceilings and no windows. We loved the décor and the cherry blossom trees on the tables.

Not wanting a traditional church wedding, the little chapel on sight was such a gorgeous place for us to get married, as soon as we saw it we knew it was the right place. Once we booked the venue with Emma and John, they could not have been more helpful and professional. They made every aspect of booking and planning extremely easy and laid back. They were unbelievably approachable and understanding and their expert opinions informed a lot of our planning for the big day. The room bookings and table plans ran very smoothly and nothing was an issue. We blocked off rooms for guests travelling and everything worked out exactly as we had planned. The rooms were gorgeous and very reasonably priced.

Now to the big day. On arrival, the chapel was set out beautifully, exactly how we wanted it to be. John and Emma kept count of how many guests were in the chapel and closed the gate when the chapel was full, as they understood how important it was to my wife that she did not have to walk into a chapel with a load of people hanging around outside it. Another example of Emma and John going above and beyond to cater to our needs. The chapel is in such a beautiful location we were able to get all of our photos done on site within an hour of the ceremony finishing. We did not have to travel anywhere and were able to enjoy the second half of our drinks reception. The photos turned out amazing.

The drinks reception was held in the lobby due to heavy rain the night before but it was absolutely magical with loads of room for all guests to mingle and the efficient bar close by. The wedding ballroom was laid out beautifully and Emma and John advised us on best times for speeches, entry etc. They made our day so easy with constant guidance and reassurance.

On the morning of the wedding, our florist forgot to drop us a bouquet for my grandmother that we had planned on presenting to her. John realized it was missing and mentioned it to us. My wife asked him if he could sort something out and he replied he absolutely could without batting an eyelid. He arranged for another bouquet from a local florist and had a gorgeous one waiting for us when the time came. We did not have to organize anything. Another example of them going above and beyond for us.

The food was absolutely amazing. We went with Beef and Cod which we loved during the menu tasting, however, it was even better on the day. Top table service was impeccable and we were very well looked after, as were all of our guests. The bar staff on the night were outstanding too, with no-one waiting long for a drink and no huge ques at the bar at any stage. There was a lot of drinking done at the wedding and everyone commented on the bar staffs efficiency and friendliness. All staff positively interacted with our guests and there was a real sense of comfort, craic and joviality among the staff all day and night.

The venue, food, staff and vibe in the Clanard are amazing but we really felt that Emma and John were the icing on the cake. They were absolutely on the ball throughout the entire booking process and the big day. Although they deal with weddings every day of the week, they really made us feel special on our big day, they could not have done any more for us. Amazing venue and wonderful people. We wish we could do it all over again.

My husband and I first visited Clanard on a busy Saturday to check the standard of service under pressure and from that day we knew this was where we wanted to get married! Wedding planning can be so stressful and overwhelming at times but Emma and John were amazing at ensuring we had all the essentials covered. They were fantastic at helping us make our dreams become a reality. Our friends and family were well fed and greatly impressed with the venue! The lobby is amazingly light and bright, perfect reception for a wedding! The garden out the back was brilliant for photos and the friendly and talkative staff made all of us feel at home. We are beyond grateful for all the team at Clanard court hotel and the support they gave us in creating our perfect day that we will never forget!

Could not have asked for anything more from the clonard. From the preparation to the day they could not do enough. The day itself was perfect. Food was amazing. Special thanks to Emma and John.

Thanks so much to Emma, John and all the staff at the Clanard Court Hotel!
We had the best day of our lives.
Emma’s professionalism and approachability was second to none.
Every staff member showed us the same professionalism and approachability and was commented on by numerous guests who attended our wedding.
The food was delicious, the venue and rooms were spotless.
The little white chapel 💒 is just fabulous.
The staff could not do enough for us from the day we went to look at The Clanard as an option for our big day.
I would like to thank Emma and all the staff for making our day very special.

Denise & Declan

We had the most amazing wedding day at clanard court hotel. Everything was taken care of by the wedding team. The food was amazing and attention to detail was just so impressive to us. We would highly recommend having wedding here to any couple.

Where do we even start? We had such an amazing experience planning our wedding with the Clanard, every member of staff from reception, bar staff, waiting staff special mention to Liz who looked after us all so well.
Emma and John went above and beyond for us from the moment we made contact, throughout all our planning our family dinner the evening before wedding, our wedding day and even our day 2 celebration, untill we checked out after the wedding. Nothing was too big an ask and Emma completely put us both at ease whenever the planning became stressful.
All our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was and how friendly the staff was.
An amazing experience from start to finish. We just wish we could so it all again

Nice venue and good location.

One of the most important and biggest decisions a couple can make is to get married and it can in most cases be very stressful and daunting, but if you have Emma Ferris and the Clanard Court hotel family with you it becomes the most fun, memorable and exciting time of your life. Emma's attention to detail and her organisation skills are unparalleled with the entire wedding process. From start to finish Emma is there for anything you need no matter how small or how big the problem is even if it's just for an idea or suggestion on how to make it easier, better etc,, we would have been lost without Emma as for the Clanard Court family they have everything covered even the smallest of details and things that you wouldn't even think of are covered. Their commitment and dedication to making your dreams a reality are second to none as they went above and beyond for us. Our guests could not have been happier with everything and still to this day they talk of our wedding as being one of the best weddings they've ever been to or seen from the details and decor to the food the service and the overall quality of experience they were bestowed. Some of our guests had that great of a time that they booked another one or two days after as they simply didn't want it to end. As for being a child friendly environment OMG the children who attended our wedding aswell as our own children had an absolute blast with some even having fun with the staff who played and entertained them with games and jokes etc. No one was left wanting for anything it was the best experience my family have ever had.

We had our wedding in February 2025 and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The venue is beautiful and well-maintained, with great spaces for both the ceremony and the reception. It made for a really elegant and comfortable atmosphere that our guests loved.

Emma and John were so professional and easy to work with. They were responsive to our questions, helped us stay organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the big day. We really appreciated their calm, can-do attitude throughout the process.

The food was excellent and the staff during the event were friendly and attentive. Our guests felt well taken care of, and that meant a lot to us. The rooms were comfortable and convenient, which made the whole weekend easy for everyone staying on-site.

Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect setting for such a special occasion. We’re really glad we chose Clanard and would absolutely recommend it to other couples planning their wedding.

What can I say only, Amazing!! From start to finish nothing was to big a challenge and if you remember the date there was many a challenge.. Emma, Eoin, John and their whole team were a joy to deal with from initial booking till late in the evening the day of they wedding they were always available for queries or requests.. ballroom and reception decor was stunning and our guests are still talking about the food on the day (many of who have gone back to hotel for other meals).. We cannot thank the Clanard Court and there team enough for making our special day unforgettable.. We will be regular visitors for many years to come.. Any one looking for a wedding venue make sure you make it your business to check out this amazing hotel!! Thank you all again.. John & Catriona

We are finding it quite hard to put into words just how thankful we are to all the staff at the Clanard Court Hotel, in particular Emma and John… We are still reeling from the day, it was honestly the best day of our lives.

Where do I begin? The Clanard Court Hotel was the first hotel we viewed, and we paid our deposit straight away, without viewing any other venue. The hotel is just stunning; the ballroom, the lobby, the bar, and the little white chapel… We got married in November so all of the Christmas decorations were up which were just stunning.
Our initial dealings were with all with Emma. From the outset, she could not have been more helpful. She was so lovely to deal with and was always available to answer any questions I had.

The day itself could not have went better. Emma and John were just out of this world. Every single person that we met down for breakfast the following morning commented on how fantastic the staff were. John was constantly present in the reception area making sure everyone had a drink and food. He also made sure everyone was satisfied during the meal and ensuring everyones drinks were topped up. The food was also unbelievable - every single person commented on how nice it was, the duck spring rolls and the slow cooked beef were out of this world. A lot of people said they have never tasted nicer beef at a wedding!

Emma was brilliant on the morning of the wedding. Her calming presence was needed! The bride & groom from the day before happened to check out early that morning, and Emma went above & beyond to get the Bridal suite cleaned ASAP so that I could do a first look with my father in the Bridal suite and get pictures there prior to the ceremony.
My husband also happened to forget the buttonholes the morning of the wedding, and informed Emma of this 15 minutes before the ceremony. Emma acted quick; she got straight onto a florist in Kildare Village and arranged for 6 buttonholes to be made and dropped up urgently - I was none the wiser of this! She literally was superwoman :)

We will never be able to thank the Clanard Court enough. They honestly went above and beyond for us and our guests. People are still telling us it was the best wedding they were ever at. They deserve so much credit for what they do - it’s evident why they receive so many rewards.
Thank you so much Emma, John and all the team from the bottom of our hearts. We cannot wait to visit the Clanard Court every year on our anniversary.
Sarah & Michael xx

We got married this year , We dealt with Emma and she is honestly the most amazing person so down to earth and attentive there was nothing that wasn’t a problem or that she didn’t accommodate us with! I think she done more planning than we did kept and us on track checking in constantly! She is just hands down one of the nicest people and truly wants you to have the best day . All the staff on the day were just amazing (and everytime we visited even the restaurant ) they are just the most welcoming and friendly people you feel at home from the minute you arrive . Our guest spoke so highly of the staff and the hotel and just all agreed it was truly magical. John came to all tables checking in on our guest , he went out of his way to speak with all tables which was so lovely . The attention to detail was nothing short of amazing the place looked exactly how I wished it would . If you are considering having your wedding at The Clanard I can honestly say it will be the best decision. We can’t thank them enough for helping us to have the wedding day of our dreams . They have an amazing team each and everyone of them!

My daughter got married there last Saturday 5th Oct and have to say from start to finish it was a great day. The food was really good the staff were so nice special thanks to Emma, John and Eoin for everything. There was an incident with the cake when we were travelling down from Dublin and the hotel sent the cake of to be fixed which was so kind of them. The guests were giving praises about the hotel say that the food was coming non stop all day they even had finger food in residents bar at 2 in the morning. The bedrooms were spacious and so clean also everyone loved the little church in the grounds. I so happy my daughter (kristina) and son in law (sean) picked the Clanard Court Hotel. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married

We had our wedding at the Clanard Court in September 2024, and it was everything we hoped it would be. We stumbled across the Clanard as we were looking through potential venues, and we had a feeling it would suit us. We booked an appointment to check it out and instantly fell in love when we got there. The little white chapel really captured us and we were sure this was the place for us. Throughout the process from the first meeting to the big day, the Clanard’s wedding coordinator Emma was on hand to answer any questions we had no matter how trivial, made us feel right at home whenever we visited and was lightning fast in all her responses. Every single member of staff we spoke with were so lovely and accommodating and the food was absolutely sublime. All of our guests have had nothing but positive comments about the entire day. We can't thank the Clanard Court enough for making our most precious day extra special.

We got married here in August and we couldn't be happier with our choice! The food, the function room, the rooms, the chapel, absolutely every single detail was nothing short of beautiful and perfect! The staff and our amazing wedding coordinator really made our wedding a dream come true. Thank you a million times Emma, John and team!

Nothing but praise for the all staff at the Clanard Court Hotel there was genuinely nothing more they could of done for us on our big day they had everything thought out and planned so well. We didnt have one guest out of the 120 that had one bad thing to say nothing but praises all around for food, rooms and staff. The staff who where everywhere on the day including the planners and the general managers who spent the day in amongst the guests making sure they where happy and very quick to act with the ever changing events that wedding days bring. I cant praise this team of people at the Clanard enough 10/10 expierence.

From the moment we met Emma we knew that she would carry through on the vision we had for our special day. Nothing was a problem and her responsiveness via email was top class. The Little White Chapel was a beautiful setting for our ceremony and also our pictures. The gardens are also fabulous. The food at our wedding was spectacular. Even when we asked for slight alterations to certain dishes it was no problem. Our guest still rave about the Featherblade beef!! The banqueting staff could not do enough for us!! The only small thing on the day was one of the managers kept calling my husband the wrong name (I undertand it was wedding season and we were one of many) but it did frustrate him a little. Overall, you are so well looked after in this hotel and the value for money is second to none, our guests were fed from start of the day to the end, food was in abundance, I am so glad we chose 'Clanard Court' as our venue.

The Clanard Court Hotel is local to us in Athy , we originally thought it might be nice to have our wedding outside of our home county. We viewed so many places and 100% the clanard surpassed them all. Its a modern hotel, immaculate and maintained so well each year . The staff are amazing, wedding coordinator Emma made everything run so smoothly and the manager John was extremely helpful too. Both checking in on us several times throughout our wedding day to ensure we were happy with everything. I can't recommend it more highly. Guests at our wedding are still saying to us how great a hotel it is, the food, the service, everything about it. Its an immaculate hotel with top standards. We've been to many weddings and comparing to the Clanard they were just in another league. Mary Fennin the hotel owner, such a lovely lady, even came over to us on the day to congratulate us and ensure all was ok. It was simply amazing. They Clanard Court Hotel, and staff really made our day an unforgettable and special day

From the time we booked to when our feet hurt from dancing , we couldn't have been more thankful for all Emma and John done to make our day so special.
Emma was always contactable even f0r the stupid questions, her attentionto detail was outstanding and we felt we had know her all our lives. She is now a friend for life x
The choices of menus was amazing and budgets to suit every couple we were so happy with our food choices as were our guests it was talk of the tables..
The red wine was to die for.
If we could do it all again we would and I have recommended the clanard court hotel to so many after our experience, we have even had a sneaky night away in one of the suites since and I'll most definitely be booking for the new year.
Clanard courts gets 5 stars 🌟from myself and Dave x

We were blown away from the first day we viewed the clanard Court Hotel and met Emma and the team. We knew straight away we had found our wedding venue.
The run up to the wedding was so relaxing, nothing was a problem or an issue. Emma was always quick to response to our queries/ questions.
Our wedding day was the best day ever, we couldn't of asked for better service, food, accommodation or facilities. Everything was to perfection. Wedding guests were extremely happy and had such positive feedback. John, Eoin and staff ensured all guests were well looked after.

We couldn't recommend the clanard court enough.

Myself and my husband got married in the clonard Court on thr 29th of March 2024. Right when we booked it back in July 2022 Emma was amazing right from the beginning. She made the process so easy and answered every question with ease and reassurance. On our special day the staff were absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough. No matter how big or little was asked they all went above and beyond. Their new little Chapel is a beautiful wedding venue and made our ceremony so special. If your looking for a wedding venue look no further then the clonard Court Hotel for an amazing day and amazing support along the way.

We had our wedding at the Clannard Court Hotel back in March, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Emma and her incredible team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism, and they truly made us feel special throughout.

The venue was stunning, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for both our ceremony and the reception. Emma's attention to detail and her team's warm, friendly service ensured that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our big day. The evening was just as wonderful, with our guests raving about how fantastic everything was.

We couldn’t recommend the Clannard Court Hotel enough to any couple looking for a wedding venue. Thank you, Emma, and the entire team for making our dream wedding a reality!

We got married in The Clonard Court in February’24 and I can't recommend this venue enough for anyone looking to host a wedding! It's a true gem!

You can't go wrong highly recommend your wedding in the Clanard Court, from start to finish no stress venue Chapel beautiful, food excellent, room decor staff high quality. Emma and John no need to worry all sorted tick all boxes. Don't hesitate just book you will have the best experience..

Emma, John and Owen in the clanard were absolutely amazing from day 1 upon meeting Emma we knew this was where we wanted our day. She absolutely made everything so easy and her positive good vibes were always there when we spoke. Nothing was ever an issue she guided us in the right direction at all times and Owen also upon our tasting menu he helped us out and gave us the most popular choices to help. On the day all 3 were absolutely amazing we couldn't have asked for more. So professional but yet so sound we were blown away by them.

We had our day at Clanard Court Hotel on 14th October 2023 and it was AMAZING!

From the moment we stepped foot in the hotel to view it and meet with Emma we knew straight away this was the place we wanted to get married.

As well as the hotel being beautiful, every member of staff were so friendly and helpful. Service on the day was out of this world nobody could do enough for us and our guests and everyone commented on how brilliant the staff were. A special mention must be given to Emma our wedding coordinator she is unreal at her job! She was always there with quick replies and advice even when I was asking questions about silly things she was there from day dot helping any way she could. Emma is a true asset to the hotel!

Another special mention needs to be given to John who went above and beyond looking after us and our guests. He was on the ball all day and night and really looked after everyone. Everything ran so smoothly, like a dream thanks to John. His wealth of knowledge and experience reflects in his work and we're so grateful to have had him oversee our day.

The food was absolutely gorgeous everyone was raving about it. Nobody went hungry either as there was plenty of food all day/night. My mother in law and sister in law are coeliac and the chef made sure there was always something suitable available for them. My mother in law also said it was the nicest coeliac meals she's ever had!

If we had to do our day over again we would chose Clanard Court Hotel every time, 100 times over, everything was perfect.

Emma, John, Eoin and all the team at Clanard Court Hotel thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special xx

Can't speak highly of this hotel.. Emma and John were absolutely brilliant there really good at there job, myself and my wife had such a fantastic day I would love to do it all again from start to finish was out of this world thank you again clanard hotel.

We had a Fantastic Wedding Day at the Clanard Court Hotel and cannot recommend it highly enough to any brides and grooms out there that are looking for an amazing venue with fabulous staff and service!
From our first viewing, we knew it was going to be our reception venue. It was everything that we were looking for and more. Emma was a dream to work with. I was so relaxed coming up to the Wedding Day and I can honestly put that all down to her.. every query I had was answered asap & her attention to detail was amazing. All I can say is she is a pure genius at what she does. John, we met coming closer to the day for our menu tasting and apart from being a pure gent and a great laugh, he could not do enough for us. We had a few very fussy eaters on the day which had me a bit worried and, to be honest, I don't know how he did it but he catered for everyone and they are still raving about the food!!
From Management to Staff, you know your going to be in great hands. Thank you all for making our day so seamless and special & the best day of our lives!

We had the best day for our wedding at the clanard court hotel. Everything from the service to the food to the decor was incredible. Emma (the wedding cordinator) pulled out all the stops to make myself, the groom and all the wedding guests have the most fabulous and memorable day. Emma is always welcoming, helpful and in great form anytime we dealt with her. She is truly great at her job. The attention to detail and little touches meant the world to us. John and the team who looked after the dinner were great as well. A number of the guests said it was the best wedding/hotel they were at which we were delighted to hear. The hotel itself, rooms and grounds are beautiful . We were so happy with the venue and will be regulars in the future.

Clanard Court Hotel is an excellent venue for a family wedding. It was a pleasure having Emma as our co-ordinator and friend from start to finish, as she left no stone unturned. The team, along with Emma, John & Eoin had a warm welcome for us on each occasion that we visited and the same was said by our guests. The food is delicious with a wide variety of options to suite all tastes, food presentation was delightful, prompt and friendly service, all our dietary requirements were catered for. Due to the weather we didn't get to use all of the garden facilities but they are everything that you need. Private enclosed picturesque garden with a children's play room suitable for all ages, it went down a treat. Also the fact you can view the garden from the function room is a bonus. The accommodation is fresh and comfortable, cant wait to return.

Can I just say the Clanard staff are one big dream team. Our day was fantastic from start to finish. The food was amazing. The grounds at the hotel are beautiful they have a secret garden and a bonus new white chapel which we had the pleasure of having our ceremony in. All the staff were so welcoming and helpful and go out of their way to make your day amazing. Nothing was ever too small or big. I wouldn't fault this hotel in any way. From the minute you set foot in this hotel you will want to book it. Emma and John are fantastic and will ensure the day goes smoothly and the way you want. All I can say is we had the best wedding day and can't thank the Clanard team enough.

We got married in the Clanard Court Hotel on the 24/06/23. Booking the hotel was the best thing we ever did. Emma Ferris is an amazing wedding coordinator, you just tell her what you want and she makes it happen. Our ceremony was in the Little White Chapel a truly unique setting. Our photos were taken in the gardens so there was no need to move from the venue meaning we actually got to enjoy some time at the drinks reception. The food was exceptional, piping hot and the service provided by John Kelly and his team was outstanding. Everything about the hotel is 5 Star. By the end we felt like part of the family.

It's a fantastic venue great value for money the staff are so friendly we could not fault them with everything the done for me and my wife

The best decision we made when planning our wedding, was booking The Clanard Court as our venue, and here's why:

1. Emma Ferris, our award winning wedding coordinator, supported us with her expertise, energy and positivity througout the process. She made it all so easy for us.
2. John Kelly the operations manger, who never let a glass go dry, was on the ball with everything, on the day, and exuded calm, even when my speech, may have, run on a bit too long.
3. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. They look and feel expensive, even though they?re not!
4. The food was delicious and plentiful.
5. The genuine hospitality and attentiveness offered to us by all the staff was beyond compare. I've never stayed anywhere before where the staff were so happy and efficient in their work, as well as being genuinely friendly towards all the guests.
6. The lobby, with high ceilings and large windows, was the perfect setting for the drinks reception. It's so bright and airy. The guests were delighted with the drinks selection, especially the beer on tap and The Pimm's.
7. The kids were made to feel welcome and at home: special kids plates at the drinks reception, friendly staff, the kids? cabin out the back, yummy kids? menu at dinner.
8. The Chapel. It didn't exist when we booked the venue but, oh my, what a wonderful surprise it was. It's so beautiful and romantic. The setting is perfect. We couldn't have found a better location for our ceremony, had we trawled all the exclusive, boutique venues in Ireland. We got a unique setting and the ease of a hotel wedding, all in one! I don't think there's anywhere else you?ll find that!
9. Last but not least: our guests! They were singing the praises of The Clanard throughout their stay there and continue to reflect on what a great venue it is. Compliments have gone to the rooms, the food and the attentiveness of staff, in particular. A few have mentioned wanting to go back for a stay in the hotel again. I know we?ll definitely be back!

The hotel could not do enough for us. From the day we booked the venue until we checked out the morning after the big day, nothing was too much for them.
Emma is an absolute star and I don't know how i would of gotten everything done without her.
John was brilliant on the day and everyone couldn't say enough positives about the food and service.
The ladies in the Revive spa did my makeup on the day and bridal parties and they made us all feel so beautiful.
I haven't one negative thing to say about the hotel or staff and can't wait to get back for a trip soon.

From start to finish Emma and her team were absolutely amazing we could not fault the hotel in anyway the food the venue the staff every Part of our day was amazing ???? would love to do it all over again ??

Absolutely outstanding service from the clanard court hotel, no request was to big or small. Would highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The staff are second to none particularly Emma and John. Food was delicious and everyone commented on the service. All our guests were so well looked after. We could not find fault with one thing

We would highly recommend the hotel. The food was amazing and the staff were excellent. All our guests complimented them too

I could not recommend the clanard Court Hotel enough. They made our day so magical! Their attention to detail was amazing and we're so helpful in every scenario. Emma was our wedding co ordinator, she made us feel so at ease and took time to answer even our smallest of questions. The staff on the day were outstanding. They made everybody feel so welcome and made the day run so smooth. I would recommend them to everyone.

From the moment we met with Emma, who couldn't do enough for us from the start we knew the Clanard Court hotel was perfect for our wedding day.
Emma, John and Eoin - They where always on hand to answer any questions we had, we where always well informed and nothing ever seemed to big of an ask. They are each very experienced in there own part that they play in the day, Each member of the wedding team goes above and beyond to ensure the day went as perfectly as we dreamed.
The venue - set up is fabulous, we had a outdoor wedding and the grounds are gorgeous. A fantastic addition is the childrens den - we had 20 kids at our wedding and each one loved the den, always great piece of mind for parents that they are safe and enjoying themselves!
Graham and the gang in the kitchen - The food was amazing each guest commented on how each dish was mouth watering. Graham also went to above and beyond to ensure anyone with food allergies where included throughout the day including our own daughter which we are forever thankful for.
Each member of staff in the Clanard Court are helpful, polite, friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
If you are looking for your dream wedding venue then we would highly recommend the Clanard Court Hotel and there dedicated wedding team to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams
We cannot thank Emma, John, Eoin and the team enough for helping us have the most amazing day of our lives.
Thank you,
Emma & Graham

Emma was an absolute joy to work with, went through everything with us from start to finish with no hassle whatsoever!
Excellent venue, excellent food, excellent service & friendly staff. We stayed for 3 full days for our wedding & it was pure bliss. Grounds are beautiful for photos too. Everyone of our guests has said it was best wedding ever! They went that extra mile to make our day run perfectly!
We'll definitely be back for a break again soon.
Thanks to all in the Clanard Court hotel for their warmth & hospitality

Where do we start...wow!! We were lucky enough to have our wedding in The Clanard Court Hotel over the Summer and we, along with our guests were blown away with not only the stunning venue but the most friendly and accommodating staff, truly amazing food to suit each palate, impeccable service and treasured memories that made our wedding day one we will look back on in years to come as the best day of our lives. Emma and her team could honestly not have been more accommodating to us in every aspect, especially as we had postponed with Covid and were then hit with another wave of it prior to the wedding...even the day before our Wedding she was still amending the seating plan for us. Emma was constantly on hand for any query we had, nothing was ever too much for her..I don't know how she does it all! She is just amazing at what she does along with all the Staff at the Clanard Court Hotel. The Clanard itself is just the most beautiful venue full of luxury and class, our guests couldn't believe it and still comment about it! From the bespoke bedroom decor of each room, the fabulous Ball Room that is every Bride's dream with the chiavari chairs, themed lighting and luxury table pieces to the stunning garden with twinkling lights your guests can enjoy before or after their meal, the Venue is second to none and we cant rate it highly enough. We were lucky enough to get some stunning photos in the garden in the evening which I would recommend to any future couples.

All in all, we adored our experience with all the Team at the Clanard, and if I had the day again I would not change a thing.
They made our wedding day what it was, truly magical.

Thank you so much to all the Team at The Clanard Court Hotel.

Kelly & Paddy Fitzgerald

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering getting married. From start to finish I could not find fault with the service, rooms, food or staff. Everyone went out of their way to do the best they could. Special mention to the Banquet Manager John, so efficient and always with a smile on his face.

I honestly cannot recommend the Clanard Court Hotel enough! From the d?cor, the delicious food, the gardens, the attention to detail and the AMAZING staff. Emma was so helpful and responsive. Words cannot describe how amazing she is at what she does!! John was also amazing throughout the day and night! He made sure everything went perfectly with a smile on his face! We got married in the gardens and it felt like we were abroad! Everyone had an amazing day! Thank you all!

When we went to view the clanard court hotel, we met with Emma the amazing wedding coordinator, she made me feel relaxed and showed us everything we needed to see. We got married on May 12th and from start to finish everything was perfect. Emma and John couldn't do enough for us! The food was excellent service excellent. Staff are soooo friendly and would help in any way they can. I highly recommend the clanard court hotel for your wedding. The marquee was stunning the decor was gorgeous.
Our guests are still talking about what a great hotel it is. I couldn't thank them enough for all they done to help.

We cannot recommend the Clanard Court Hotel high enough. We met with Emma the wedding planner a year before our wedding and booked our wedding two weeks later. From start to finish on our wedding planning journey and the day itself everything was amazing. Emma along with John the banqueting manager and all the staff went above and beyond for us the couple and all of our guests. Both the proprietor and hotel manager were so attentive to us on the day also. The girls in the Revive spa looked after all the beauty and make up for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding, couldn't have asked for better. We had our ceremony in the purpose built ceremony marquee which was just beautiful and afterwards our drinks reception on the lawn with a full bar which meant all our guests were in one place and this made the day lovely and intimate and private, away from other hotel guests. We didn't leave for photos as the grounds are so picturesque and ideal for photos whilst mingling with your guests. Food delicious, would definitely recommend the blade of beef, everyone was talking about it the day after. Start to finish, food, decor, staff, everything was excellent, nothing was a problem. In my opinion it would be very hard to beat the Clanard in terms of friendliness, attention to detail, flexibility around numbers/changes ect, beautiful location and value for money.
Thank you everyone at the Clanard Court Hotel.

Excellent and friendly staff, the wedding team is on the ball down to every detail, the hotel is fab and the food is amazing

When we were planning our wedding, we didn't need to look anywhere else other than The Clanard. Emma and John are passionate in delivering extraordinary wedding hospitality and advice. The Clanard had a dedicated wedding team, attending to every detail, we never had to second guess a thing! Emma had it all sorted. The attention to detail, superb food and stunning decor made our Day everything we dreamed of. Our guests had a ball and still talk about the Best Day Ever, you cannot get better than The Clanard Hotel.
Thank you Emma!

Paul and I had our wedding at Clanard Court Hotel. From the time we booked it, and then with Covid moved the wedding three times, Emma and the team couldn't have done enough for us. The day itself was spectacular. Every single staff member went out of their way to look after us. The function room looked amazing. The food was world class, it was very tasty and presented on every plate so well. All of our guests had a great time, and all said to us they loved the food. We would recommend this hotel to anyone for their special day.

WOW!!!
Our original date was may 2020 in nerja spain, with two Cancellations we decided to look at irish options.
Even Before we visited the clanard court hotel we Viewed theIr online Virtual tour and IMMEDIATELY got the warm family run vibe from the place, it was the first and last irIsh venue we visited and it was love at first sight!
From The get go We met the bubbly wedding Coordinator emma ferris and one quick trip around the stunning grounds and ballroom we booked our date!
We did have to make one postponement due to covid and emma made this EXTREMELY easy.
We went forthe unforgettable Package which was unreal value for money , it included an extensive reception drinks list, superb Canapes and a Candy cart too ! Not to mention a VIP reception for our little guests!!
Our food was DEFINITELY one Of the highlights for our guests , vegans and Vegetarians catered to aswell.

We didnt Go For the bridal suite for ourselves we opted for the new garden deluxe rooms which have an outdoor terrace, perfect for bridal parties to Get ready in !
We also had a day 2 bbq in the newly purpose built outdoor area which was fab!
The hotel is such a cosy gorgeous place with a Spa on site , Amazing cocktails and luxery brekkies!!

Thank you clanard!! ?

Could not recommend the Clanard Court as a wedding Venue enough.
From the day we booked our wedding to checking out when it was all over every single member of staff we dealt with was just amazing.
Planning a wedding during covid was such a stressful thing but Emma really went out of her way to ease any concerns we had and always kept us in the loop.
We lucky enough ended up getting married on a beautiful day in August but even if it had of been lashing rain the hotel and garden is a perfect spot.
Food was gorgeous, the ball room set up and decor is beautiful and all the staff were so friendly and helpful.
I was recommended to check out the Clanard Court by a friend who had also gotten married there and I've been recommending it to anyone that will listen to me.
We had the most perfect weekend, really could not fault one thing.
Thank you again to Emma & John and all the staff.
Niamh & Mark ? 28/08/21

Our wedding at Clanard court was just beautiful, the food the staff and the over all hotel was amazing all our guests are still talking about how lovely everything was and how the staff could not do enough for them
Emma and John looked after us from start to finish and went out of there way to make everything perfect

WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR WEDDING AT THE CLANARD COURT. EMMA WAS GREAT TO DEAL WITH AND IT WAS NO ISSUE WHEN WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR WEDDING DATE DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS. WE HAD AN AMAZING DAY, THANKS TO ALL THE FABULOUS STAFF AT THE CLANARD. A SPECIAL MENTION TO EMMA AT THE REVIVE BEAUTY ROOMS WHO DID OUR MAKEUP ON THE DAY AND ALSO TO JOHN WHO LOOKED AFTER US ALL EVENING, HE REALLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR US. THE CLANARD WAS A GREAT CHOICE FOR US AS EVERYTHING WAS ON SITE, HAIR, MAKEUP, OUR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND THE HOTEL AND GROUNDS ARE STUNNING. THE WEDDING DECOR IS GREAT AND WAS ONE LESS THING FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT.

We were delighted to have our wedding reception at Clanard Court Hotel. We were very taken with the beautiful garden ballroom when we went to the wedding showcase, and we were delighted to book a date. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly any time we visited the hotel. Emma was excellent at helping us to organise our day. She was friendly, welcoming and always responded quickly to our emails. John was also very helpful and accommodating. They both managed our wedding reception excellently. They made sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.
The reception area and ballroom were beautifully decorated by the hotel. The ballroom leads out onto a beautiful garden area, which meant guests could enjoy a lovely outdoor space if they wished. It was also a lovely space for photographs.
The menu tasting evening was very enjoyable, and we were very happy with our choices. The food was excellent and very well presented on the day. Guests were very happy with their courses, and breakfast was also very tasty. Dinner was also very nicely served to the top table, and the staff were very attentive. The service was excellent from every member of staff, and they made our guests feel very welcome.
The younger guests at our wedding were given treats on arrival, and a play area was available for them to use, which they really enjoyed!
I would highly recommend Clanard Court Hotel as a wedding venue. Thank you for helping to make our day so special for us and our families.

We had our wedding reception in The Clanard Court December 30th. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Venue looked fabulous with the Christmas decor and finishing touches for our wedding, ballroom was just beautiful and the food was amazing. They couldn't do enough for us and all our guests.

From the moment we booked with the clanard, they were so helpful with the planning and organisation of everything. Our original date was 21 March and the hotel dealt with the whole covid so well. We had our tasting in January and it was literally a week before the wedding when we had to cancel.
Emma and Claire were always at the other end of the phone when needed and there was also a lot of email about rooms etc.

We had our big day with covid restrictions on the 26 september. OUr day was magical. The best we could have imagined. We still had our photo booth and our band. I must have danced all night. the wedding had to end at 11.30 cos of covid but it didn't feel like it. all the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the whole day flowed so well.

i had used the make up artist from the hotel an they were so attentive. they came up to our room and did the make up of my bridesmaids and myself. i really felt pampered and beautiful.

when the 3 of us were fully ready emma came and collected us for our ceremony, which we were able to have outside as the sun was out and the gardens in the clanard were just beautiful.

we were able to get photos in the gardens after an i also got plenty of photos getting ready.

all our guest thoroughly enjoyed the day and some are still talking about it.

Couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we had a great day.

Score: 5 Stars from Lynda Collins on Mon, 26 October, 2020

The Clanard Court were excellent. Emma, John and Daniel made the day the best it could be and were unbelievably accommodating in such strange circumstance ( covid ). Nothing was ever too much trouble and Emma would answer my emails in a matter of minutes in the run up to the big day. I am delighted we chose this Venue we had a perfect day from start to finish. I could not recommend this hotel enough to anyone thinking of getting married here.

Fantastic hotel to get married in. Staff are amazing, wedding planners cant do enough for you.

What an absolutely amazing day we had thanks to the wonderful service that was provided by Emma, Claire, Daniel and all the wonderful staff at the Clanard Court Hotel, nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing and all our guests were extremely impressed with the quality of their meals, we stayed again the next day and some of our family and friends joined us making it 30 people, again the hotel provided us with wonderful service by providing us with a private room and again superb food, I would have no hesitation in saying if you want a wedding that you and your guests will never forget then book the Clanard Court Hotel as they go out of their way to make you feel special and will provide exceptional service.

Myself and Nick decided in early 2018 to have our Wedding in the Clonard Court Hotel. From minute one the girls Emma and Claire could not do enough to help us with the organising. As the date got nearer any requests we had were never any trouble for the hotel to sort.
Our Day finally arrived. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were so lucky to be able to get married outside. The gardens looked magical and all the staff were great. Gosia was about for the full day till the earlier hours to assist with anything we needed along with all the other staff in the hotel who could not have done enough. The room was decorated lovely the food was superb along with the evening celebrations. We had the most amazing day and have lots of fantastic memories and would do it all over again. I would 110% recommend the Clonard Court Hotel as a wedding venue it was all i wanted and more. 'Simply the Best'

The wedding day was a beautifully day but the hotel made are day so much more special with the staff and the food it was out of this world. So many people had never been there but have all went up since our wedding for food and some has even stayed over. The standards are really out of this world

We had our wedding here on the 5th July 2019 and couldn't have asked for a better day or venue..From the moment we arrived the staff put us at ease and I had so much confidence in them that our day would run perfectly. But we could never have dreamed how amazing it would be. We wanted for nothing and were left to enjoy our day. Our guests are still commenting on the beautiful garden where we held our ceremony and the friendly staff that on more than one occasion went above and beyond for our guests. The food on the day was out of this world also.I could go on and on. We would highly recommend this venue!

Beautiful hotel and the food was outstanding. Excellent service throughout the day and so helpful in the run up to the wedding. So happy we picked this venue. Everything was perfect whole day was amazing and also the babysitting service was a bonus. Thanks so much.

The Clanard Court is by far Ireland's best wedding venue. From the first day we met Emma and Claire we were made feel so at ease and everything ran like clock work from that day until the morning after the wedding - everything was amazing. Nothing was an issue, we didn't have to worry about a thing. They made sure we were totally relaxed and that all we had to do was enjoy our day. A huge number of guests told us it was the best, most relaxing wedding venue they'd been to due the food and room, but most of all because of the hospitality. Emma, Claire, Gosia and all the staff looked after each of us so well; they are true professionals. All of the food from the canapes at the drinks reception right through to breakfast the following morning, was a huge hit with all of the guests, everything was absolutely delicious! A huge thank you to everyone in the Clanard Court for making it the best day we've ever had!

We got married in the Clanard court Hotel on the 13th of April 2019 and it was just an amazing day from start to finish! We cannot thank the Clanard's staff enough for everything. From the moment we booked our wedding here Emma and Claire were always touching base with us to make sure all of our plans were going ok they really made us feel at ease throughout the build up to the big day. On the day itself we were treated like royalty all day the staff really looked after us and cared that we and our guests had the best day. Gosia was just amazing! She made us feel so relaxed and was so family focused, making sure our 2 year old was fed first and taking the time to play with him. We've had so many of our guests coming back to us praising the hotel's food and service. We cannot thank the Clanard Court Hotel enough for making our day so perfect!

What an amazing experience from when we booked to the day after our wedding. Emma and claire were great always there to help with anything and everything. The day itself ran so smoothly. All the staff were amazing and so friendly. Everyone felt at home and so relaxed. If I was to do it all again I would definitely do it at the clanard. The staff are a credit to the hotel.

Hotel and staff within hotel where amazing and couldn't be more helpful! Only downfall is the cake supplier that's included in the package, she is very unreliable and unprofessional, cooks from her own home with no H&S in place! Doesnt respond to calls or texts and has no sample pictures of previous cakes as she's only started doing wedding cakes! Hotel ended up having to get a new supplier as we still had no cake sorted 5 weeks before our day! That was the one and only downfall for the hotel, other than that I couldn't reccomend this hotel enough

Hi my daughter had her wedding December 2018 Clanard Court Athy this venue is fantastic . Venue 100% Staff 100% all in all they when up and beyond their call of duty.

We had our wedding here on 3rd November 2018. From start to finish the staff at the Clanard court hotel could not do enough for us. From the moment of booking until the morning of checking out this hotel and their amazing team did not disappoint. Emma & Claire ensured everything was as we wanted and their attention to detail is outstanding. The Clanard dont make you feel like your a customer , they make you feel like family. We can not recommend this hotel highly enough a 5 star review doesnt even rate it high enough . The food is amazing and the catering team led my Gotia are fantastic. Thank you again you really made our day extra special and our guests feel like home. Any one thinking of booking this venue for their big day just do it TRUST me you will not be disappointed.
Mark & Julie.

From our first meeting with the Clanard Court Wedding Coordinators to our check out the day after our wedding, we felt special.
Every detail of our big day was planned and executed without any issue. Nothing was too big an ask for the staff.
As you all will know the planning of a wedding and hoping all goes well on the day is a constant stress!!
Well we didn't need to worry, as our regular meetings with the wedding coordinators left us with a stress free feeling every time.
Apart from the professional attitude, the competent manner with which all the hotel staff performs their duties, there was a sense of genuine joy from the staff at helping create a perfect experience for our big day.
Our guests complemented us on our choice of venue, the delicious food which was served just as we requested. While we chose it, the Clanard Court created the magical experience for us.
It's not just a day you?ll never forget, it's an experience you will never forget.
Trust the Clanard Court Hotel and Staff to make your day special in every way.

Well where do I start. From the very beginning when I met with Claire and Emma, I knew this was the venue for us, to have our special day. Anytime, I phoned or emailed with questions regarding our wedding both Emma and Claire were so helpful. No request was too much.

As for the day itself, I may not have had the weather, but that didn't dampen the day. Everything little detail was exemplary, nothing was left to chance. All of my guest raved about the quality of the food to the amazing staff on the day. Gosha, was there for everything throughout the day, and was just amazing. She is such a credit to the hotel. Adam, Gosha, Claire and Emma are such a fantastic team and made our day so relaxed. I would also like to thank all the other staff behind the scenes as well. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough for a wedding. I wish I could do it all over again

Great day from start to finish

I could not fault a single thing about our wedding. Down to the staff that cleaned our rooms, they went above and beyond. Wish we could do it again. All of our guests are still talking about how well everything went.

We had our special day in the Clanard Court Hotel and we were so thrilled that we chose this venue. In the planning process Claire and Emma were so helpful and couldn't do enough for us,we really appreciated all their effort. On the day itself we were looked after by Gosia who made sure everything went smoothly and her attention to detail was amazing.
,Gosia is certainly a credit to the venue. The staff on the day were so friendly and attentive to ourselves and our guests,its such a perfect venue.The food was excellent and service first rate. Its also worth noting the beautiful garden adjacent to the function room which we found ideal for photographs.
Also special thanks to Liam and Mary for all their kindness and making sure our special day was all we wished it would be.

We could not recomend the clanard hotel enough, from the very onset of our viewing of the venue up to our wedding day everything was to a very high standard. On the day the managment and staff helped to make our wedding day as special as it was. Food was excellent and all of our guests are still talking about it. I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel the night before and the morning of our wedding myself plus my 4 daughters had our makeup done by emma in the revive treatment rooms. My husband myself and our guests were very impressed with the services provided to us and would highly recommend the clanard court to any couple planning their wedding.

We were delighted with our choice of the Clanard Court Hotel for our Wedding. Emma and Claire were always on hand to help with our preparations and made the whole process easy. All the staff were so helpful throughout the preparations and on the day.
The venue itself is lovely and the large and bright reception area was perfect for our drinks reception. The gardens behind the hotel are lovely for photos and that is where we got most of our photos so we could get back inside join the party!
As for the ballroom it was beautifully laid out. The food was great and plenty of it!
I would have no problem recommending the Clanard Court as a wedding venue for anyone. The hotel specialises in weddings and it is evident in how they approach everything they do. We were delighted with our big day.

On behalf of myself and my husband the day could not have gone any better. The staff were so amazing that our guests still talk about them.

The hotel and staff were amazing from beginning to end ! Our day was amazing and everyone complimented everything about the hotel and staff . Gosha ( apologies for misspelling ) was absolutely amazing on the day . We would have been. Lost without her . Emma our wedding co ordinator was fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble . We had an amazing day and would be saying to any couples getting married to visit the clanard and meet with the guys there. Fantastic from start to finish !

From the beginning to the end of our wedding day clanard where just brilliant, everything went super smooth...their level of professionalism and standards are amazing. Service and food excellent. Thank you so much...

Fantastic experience from start to finish made our wedding day so easy and hassle free nothing was ever a problem beautiful ppl and beautiful hotel in fact some of my guests have visited the hotel since. Thanks again clanard court hotel...su Robbie

We got married in May this year. All the staff in the Clanard court worked so hard to make sure we had an amazing day. We were organising our wedding from the UK where we live, Claire & Emma worked so hard to make everything as easy as possible. They were so flexible with arranging meetings that suited us & even organising a tasting for when we were home. Our day was so relaxed & everyone really enjoyed it.

Claire was so helpful throughout the build up to our wedding. On the day the staff could not do enough for us. We didn't have to worry about anything. Absolutely beautiful hotel with fabulous food.

Couldn't be more happier with our hotel selection for our wedding. They are just super at what they do and made everything about organising a wedding so easy. We had a magical day. Couldn't reccommend more. They're the best around by far ! ????

We had our wedding in March in the Clarard. I couldn't fault it, from start to finish the day was spectacular. The staff are brilliant, catering for your every need, nothing is a problem. I 100% recommend the Clanard for a wedding. You won't be disappointed.

The Clanard Court was the first hotel we looked at and we knew when we walked in this was the place we wanted to have our wedding in from the first viewing to the day of our wedding Clare and Emma and Liam on the day were there for any questions we had and anything we asked for we got. They also advised us on certain things to do that you wouldnt no to do. I have to say every member of staff were brilliant very friendly and helpfull not only on the wedding day but anytime we went down. You can get makeup done in the hotel from Emma who is great at wat she dose. All in all this is a great hotel for a wedding and I would definitely recommended it to anyone thinking of getting married

This hotel was just a dream to deal with. The wedding coordinator was fabulous. Our guests are still talking about the amazing food and fantastic service that they all received on the day. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

From start to finish our experience with the Clanard Court was amazing! A hidden gem in athy ...everything was perfect. The staff are so frendly and had everything under control the food, and atmosphere was also amazing. I would highly recommend this venue.

Unbelievable hotel. We're delighted to have had our wedding day here. Couldn have asked for anymore from the hotel management and staff.. beautiful food and a beautiful venue. 5star

We loved everything about our wedding at the Clanard Court hotel. The staff were amazing and so accommodating. The food was beautiful and all of our guests raved about how hot everything was coming out and how tasty it was. The smallest details were catered for the girls looking after us beforehand, Claire and Emma were brilliant. The staff on the day were also fantastic. There was a man that had only started working there and he looked after everything along with his colleague and really kept things calm and moving nicely on the morning. There was a girl who looked after my nephew during the meal and his mam says she went out of her way to accommodate for him and all the parents with kids said the same. I couldn't recommend it more highly. The Clanard met all of our expectations and beyond. Thanks to you all.

This venue is outstanding they are true professionals
Claire and Emma are two of the nicest people we have met.
Including all the staff
Food 5 ***** rooms 5***** hotel 5*****

The clanard court hotel is a fantastic place to have a wedding from the food to the gardens everything is 100%. We had our wedding there two months and could not fault a thing.

Claire and Niall.

Really nice hotel we couldn't have been happier on the day, the staff are all lovely and really nice to deal with, food is fantastic,the function room was lovely they recently got new centrepieces and curtains and there lovely, loved the hotel nothing bad to say

We had our wedding in the Clanard Court Hotel in late Aug.

From day one we were blown away by all the staff and how fantastic they were to deal with. Every member of staff looked after us so well. Emma and Claire, the two wedding coordinators were exceptional, and there was never any trouble contacting them.

The venue itself is in a great location. The food was phenomenal. The guests commented how good it was and its plentiful portions. The Sticky Toffee pudding was without doubt, the nicest dessert I have ever had.

We couldn't have asked for the day to go better. Thanks to all in the Clanard for making the day the what it was :)

The Clanard Court Hotel made our wedding day the best experience of our lives. From start to finish, the staff at any request was extremely professional and unbelievably efficient. Not one complaint from any of the guests or ourselves. The food was the best we have ever had at any weddings we have been privileged to be asked to. I have and will highly recommend The Clanard Court hotel for a wedding or in fact any occasion.

Just got Married at the Clanard court hotel last weekend and couldn't be more satisfied with the service, the staff and the Food. From day one of looking at this hotel the staff were amazing. They are extremely flexible to help make the day what we wanted. Having wedding co-ordinators Claire and Emma and a great events manager James and events team made the day so relaxing and stress free for us knowing the hotel had everything in place.
The food was amazing, everyone couldn't stop complimenting the food on the day and the bbq the next day.
Would highly recommend the clanard as a wedding venue . We had an amazing day and wouldn't change any of it.
Massive thanks to all the staff at the Hotel.

There is no feedback needed to help future couples. Everything went so smoothly. It was just perfect.

Amazing hotel, amazing staff. James Gleeson is just the man, nothing he couldn't do for us. The ceremony room was just beautiful, the food was hot & plentiful. Highly recommend this hotel.

From the minute we got engaged I knew I wanted our reception in the Clanard. We came home from Australia and made an appointment with Emma.
Just meeting with Emma and then Claire we knew this was the place for us.
They both made planning from Australia a breeze and amazing to work with, nothing was an issue and gave great advice.
Our day went off without a hitch and we can't thank them enough.
James dealt with us on the day and he was brilliant.
Everything from the staff to the food was amazing.
All our guests still rave about the day and their stay at the Clanard court hotel.

I can honestly only say amazing things about Clanard Court Hotel. Our experience from start to finish was so pleasant and our wedding day just perfect!! All of the staff are so professional and we felt so relaxed knowing they would take care of everything!! The quality they offer was worlds apart when I compared it to other venues and so many of our guests commented on this and especially on the food which was just beautiful!! I could not recommend this venue more! They know exactly what they are doing leaving you with nothing to worry about except enjoying your special day!!

On the 15/04/17 we had our amazing wedding in the Clanard court hotel in Athy, from the very first time we stepped into the Clanard we knew we had chosen an amazing venue for our wedding.

Planning a wedding can usually be so stressful but with claire & Emma everything was made so simple nothing too big or small was an issue and they made you feel so confident that everything would go to plan.

The day of our wedding was pure bliss, I stayed the night before and had the most relaxing night & made to feel so special everybody knew I was the bride to be and they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The next morning I had an amazing breakfast to set me up for the day ahead. Hazel at reception was so helpful during the morning helping me with all the little bits that needed to be done.

From the ceremony to reception everything went like a dream, I knew that had everything under control and was able to get on with enjoying our day with not a worry in the world. The meal was out of this world and all the guests very extremely complimentary on the venue & food which is so important.

I could go on and on about this amazing venue but I'd be here all day, all I can say to finish it off is to say anybody getting married should choose the Clanard and I guarantee they won't be disappointed.

A very had bride & groom

Could not thank the Clanard court hotel enough for making our special day the most relaxed and enjoyable day ever , the staff couldn't of helped us any more than what they did on the day, we are so happy we picked this hotel, it's stunning and on stunning grounds. The food is delicious and everyone complimented the food/hotel on the day. We stayed and had second day celebrations and rented out a small function room, it was so ideal, we also got some finger food for that day which was great, I have not one bad thing to say about this hotel highly recommend it. Can't wait to come back for our first year anniversary.
Kind regards Emer & Tadhg.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, From start to finish they made our day perfect. I would highly recommend to any couple getting married. The Wedding Co-ordinators Claire & Emma are fantastic, From the first viewing of the hotel Claire she made me feel comfortable and she listened to what i wanted and nothing was a problem. The hotel on the day was like clockwork. The manager on the night made sure we were happy and if they was anything we needed. The food was outstanding the staff were amazing. There was enough staff to cater for all the guests The hotel its self is beautiful, Great for photos also has lovely gardens outside.The hotel made it all about us and made us feel very welcome and important on the day.

The venue was lovely and great location for on site pictures. The staff were great and made the day very stress free and relaxing. They really are a great team and have to say I would recommend this hotel for any friends and family planning their big day. Definitely a place to visit :)

I found the wedding co-ordinator and hotel staff to be very professional, helpful and accommodating to my wedding requirements. The food and management of the wedding day were top class and I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel as a wedding venue. Most of my guests commented on how good the food was and how impressed they were with the hotel in general. I was very happy with the whole experience.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding here in September 2016. Before arranging to meet with the hotel we read all the reviews about the friendly staff and the great food at this hotel, these reviews are 100% correct. The first evening that we met with the hotel we were instantly made feel welcome and comfortable. This was important for us as some venues were a little awkward dealing with two brides and the same sex wedding. After we made the decision to book this venue we had the pleasure of dealing with Claire one of the wedding co-ordinators. Claire was always on hand to anwser any questions we had and was great for giving us some tips/ideas for our big day. On the day of the wedding we could not have been looked after any better. Everything ran smoothly and any last minute requests were no problem. For us we loved everything about this venue. The staff being so friendly and helpful makes the day that little bit more relaxing as you know you're in safe hands. After the wedding our guests all commented on how great the food was and the most common comment about the day was "Jesus the staff couldn't do enough for you, some spot"! Our photographer was also impressed with the lovely garden and the alpacas for some great photos. We would highly recommend booking this venue for your big day. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic hotel - we fell in love with it the first time we visited. Staff were so friendly and the food was devine. Emma & Claire looked after us every single step of the way, and helped us out in every way we needed. The Wedding Day went by without a flaw. Staff were efficient and food was spectacular. Some of our guests were surprised that even for a big wedding that the standard of food didn't drop - and that's not something you'll always hear!
James was the Manager on duty for our Wedding and he was great - great personality and there to make sure your wedding is better than you could have even hoped.
We had an amazing day and we look forward to calling in again in the future.
We would recommend The Clanard Court Hotel to friends and family in the future.

Fantastic venue, staff are amazing! A highly professional and friendly atmosphere and service. Truly memorable and relaxed atmosphere for all the guests. Bedrooms need a little modernisation however the wedding reception room, garden and most of all the staff are without a doubt spectacular. Cannot praise the staff of the clanard court enough.

We had our wedding in the Clanard in July 2016 and it was absolutely perfect! From the beginning of the planning process right the way through to the big day and beyond the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. Leading up to the wedding everybody was warning me to be prepared for something to go wrong but I can honestly say that nothing did, everything was absolutely perfect and the credit has to go to the hard-working staff who looked after us on the day. I would recommend the Clanard Court Hotel without a single hesitation, and I look forward to returning many times in the future!

I honestly cannot fault the hotel or any part of the service we received, everything was amazing. All of the staff from the wedding planners Emma & Claire to the waiters and waitresses in the function room were so professional and friendly all of the time. Nothing was too much trouble especially in the planning stages, every question i had was answered promptly and every request was catered to. I had lots of drop outs the day before my wedding and had to rearrange the table plan and Emma did this all with me with ease. They really helped take the stress out of it. Food was amazing and excellent value for money, everyone commented on the food about how nice it was and plenty of it. The Clanard packages are excellent as they inlcude everything you need and you don't have to worry about hidden extras, it's all listed in the package details. Lobby, bar area, toilets, etc are all spotlessly clean and well attended to. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for your big day.

We got married in the Clanard court in May 2016 and I can honestly say it was the best day of our lives. It was the first and only hotel we went to look at and fell in love straight away. We booked the hotel in May 2014 and from the very first meeting we knew we would be well looked after. Claire was outstanding on the lead up to our big day and took all of our queries seriously no matter how small or silly they were. On the day itself we had James looking after us who made the day run so smoothly and we felt like royalty from the minute we arrived. Everyone had such good things to say about the food it was gorgeous and the room was beautiful. From when we arrived to the hotel right up until we went to bed and even the following day we really felt so important. We cannot wait to return to the hotel again so thank you so much for making our day as special as it was.

We had an amazing time at the Clanard. They couldn't do enough for us and our family and friends. Everyone commented on all the extra bits the hotel did for us. They are still talking about it. I wish I could do it all again.

I just wanted to post a quick review about our wedding day in the Clanard Court but didn't know exactly what to say so we have decided the best review we could post would be to post the letter that we sent to the Clanard Court Staff after our wedding day.


Dear Claire & Liam

Could you please pass on the below message and thanks to your entire staff.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding in the Clanard Court Hotel on the 9th of October 2015. ?
It was the most enjoyable day and lived up to all our expectations. From the time that we first went to view the venue until
our wedding day we found all the staff at the hotel professional, friendly and accommodating. No request was too much
trouble. ?
At the menu tasting a few weeks prior to the wedding the food was exceptional and there was plenty of very
knowledgeable staff at hand to deal with any queries or requirements that we had. And also to advise us what wine would
best accompany our food choices. The menu was full and varied and each dish nicer than the last. ?
I cannot thank our wedding co-ordinator Geraldine enough, she was always at the end of the phone with any queries we
may have. She was also great in an advisory role making sure we had all the I's dotted and the T's crossed especially in the
few days prior to the wedding.?
The venue itself is very impressive with the extensive high ceilings and very comfortable seating in the lobby. The grounds
are beautiful and we were able to take some fabulous photographs at the hotel.?
All of the feedback that we got from our guest has been positive and all said that it was a great wedding. They all
commented on how friendly the staff were and that the food was top notch.
I cannot recommend the Clanard Court Hotel enough. Everybody envolved made our day very special. If any couple is
considering this venue we would have no hesitation in saying go for it!
Caroline and Eddie Haslam.
