Connemara Coast Hotel

We had the most incredible experience at the Connemara Coast Hotel! Planning a wedding from the US could have been stressful, but thanks to Lara and the amazing team, I was the least stressed bride ever. Lara was incredibly responsive and organized, making sure we got everything we wanted. The rest of the team was equally fantastic—respectful, efficient, and so kind.

Everything ran flawlessly, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The venue itself is stunning, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved it! If you're thinking about where to get married, look no further—this place is simply perfect!

We had the most incredible experience having our wedding reception at the Connemara Coast Hotel in Galway. From start to finish, Lara, Nya, and Brian were absolutely amazing to work with—nothing was too big or small for them to handle. From our very first planning meeting, we knew we were in safe hands. Their professionalism and attention to detail put us instantly at ease, and it made all the difference on the big day.

The day itself went off without a hitch, thanks to their exceptional coordination. When the cars I'd booked for myself and the bridesmaids didn’t turn up, Lara went above and beyond, personally ferrying my bridesmaids to the church, ensuring everything stayed on track without a single hitch. They handled everything seamlessly, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day.

Our guests are still raving about how incredible the venue was, from the breathtaking views to the delicious food. Every detail was perfect, and the team at Connemara Coast made sure it all ran smoothly. If you’re a couple looking for a wedding venue with stunning views, exceptional service, and a team that goes the extra mile, we can’t recommend the Connemara Coast Hotel highly enough. It truly was a dream come true!

Lara and her incredible team were wonderful from start to finish to work with in planning our wedding. I would highly recommend The Connemara Coast Hotel for your wedding. Their attention to every detail was fantastic. The hotel is breathtaking over looking Galway Bay. It is a magical place that we both love and will cherish the memories of our wedding day forever. Visit Connemara Coast Hotel today!

Myself and my husband could not be happier that we chose the Connemara Coast Hotel as our venue! We could not have been happier they went above and beyond for us and listened to everything we wanted and made it happen! Food and service was 10/10 - hughly reccommendd getting married in the Connemara Coast Hotel

We got married there new years eve just gone what a venue it is. We fell in love with it the first time we visited. All the staff are wonderful. Just a few to mention was Lara a tressure to the hotel and every so helpful. Lara has a wonderful manner with couples and puts them at ease with a can do attitude and nothing is a problem, and will go out of here way to help. A great asset to the Connemara Coast Hotel. We both love Christmas and the hotel was nicely decorated.
Evan is brilliant any time we were there he was every so helpful and willing to help no matter what. We never had a empty hand all weekend if we wanted anything he was on it straight away. Evan was cracking jokes all weekend and put everyone at ease and made it a very relaxed atmosphere a great attitude. He even dressed up for us as santa to ring in the new year outside with sparklers.
Brian was great with any questions I had they were answered swiftly. Both Brian & Lara were there the day of wedding and had umbrellas on hand when we arrived and welcomed the guests.
Andrew was on hand when items were delivered to hotel and helped with some diy. Great attitude and ever so helpful.
By the end of the few days we're all friends and can't wait to go back.
Function room have amazing views with plenty room for everyone .
Bedrooms have views looking over Galway Bay just breath taking you could get lost in nature. The bridal suite is fabulous and so chilled to take time to yourself. A extremely clean hotel which can be seen when you first enter it. Bathrooms are well maintained throughout.
The food was unreal especially the lamb so many people complimented it. A wide menu to choose from in all courses. Which is quite difficult to narrow down. All courses were presented fantastic on the day. We spent three days here and not a bad dish. Second day we went with a buffet style and went down a treat.
All staff in reception were amazing and ever so friendly to guests which the complimented. Ann was fantastic with bookings all the way through and made the process so easy. Any questions I had were answered swiftly.
You could see over the few days the staff are happy in the hotel.

I highly recommend the connemara coast hotel 5star all the way with no hesitation. If I had to do all over again I wouldn't change it.

We will be back at the Connemara Coast Hotel very soon for a night and meet everyone again.

Love the newlyweds
Olwyn & John ♥️

Attended a family wedding here at the weekend.

The location, scenery and facilities were all excellent. The rooms, drinks reception and food was all fantastic.

My issue was with the 2 young security guards on duty the night of the wedding. They continuously looked for issues however small. Their aggressive behaviour towards guests was unacceptable. I have never seen or heard of security at a wedding before. They continuously prowled through the guests throughout the night making everyone very anxious and uncomfortable.

There seemed to be a lack of management after the meal finished. Nobody seemed to be in charge or took responsibility for anything. These 2 young security guards seemed to be running the show and calling all of the shots. They were very aggressive and on a power trip.

What started as a wonderful day turned into a nightmare.
I will never set foot in this hotel again

What can I say?! Connemara Coast Hotel is just brilliant! There was a change of wedding co-ordinator there between booking and the actual wedding that caused a little concern but once Saoirse took up post it was AMAZING!! She is so fantastic at her job, responsive, calm, approachable and just brilliant! She was even responsive on her days off - which is totally unnecessary but didn't go unnoticed. We were there for our wedding for 3 days in total, and all the staff were fantastic. They really looked after everyone so well. My niece who's 3 was sick and spent a lot of time in their room with her mum. Saoirse made sure they got their dinner on the day of the wedding and on the following day staff were so good to them providing them with towels and food etc. The staff spoke to everyone during our stay and no ask was an issue. There really wasn't anyone we met that wasn't great when we were there for the 3 days and on visits prior to our wedding. The hotel is in a great location, near enough to the city and right on the coast. We got married at Christmas time and the hotel was decorated beautifully which made our photos inside lovely and Chrissmassy. Our photos outside were fantastic too. The grounds are gorgeous and really well kept. It's right on the sea which made for some great photos - even in December! What was particularly great is that everything was on the ground floor so was easily accessible for our family and other guests in attendance. We had a humanist ceremony and our reception there with only 48 guests - perfect for us but you could see how they could easily facilitate much bigger weddings than ours. We had a great time there and have some great memories that we'll cherish forever. If you're considering Connemara Coast - Do it, you won't regret it!!

The Connemara Coast was just fantastic to deal with from initial introductions, throughout the lead up and the day itself just went off without a hitch. The feedback from the guests mostly consisted of how excellent the food was on the day- the high standard far exceeded what you would usually expect from a venue catering to 125+ people. They had plenty of bar staff on the day which was really important as many establishments these days just unfortunately do not have the staff to cater such events. The whole team played a vital role on the day and honestly couldnt have done more. We also held our day two celebrations there in the bar and again nothing was too much trouble. We've since been back to celebrate my mother's surprise 60th and we very much look forward to making the trip away to celebrate our one year anniversary.

We can't speak highly enough of our wedding day at the Connemara Coast. Guests were raving about the setting, the food and the service. We have to give a special mention to Brian and the team who were legends on the morning of the wedding, agreeing to move our ceremony outside to the beautiful gazebo when the sun came out with just one-hour left before the ceremony! It was the best decision we ever made, the backdrop by the sea was just spectacular and it made the day even more special for us. Brian was so calm and helpful and flexible, a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend this as a wedding venue - so convenient to Galway city but feels like you?re abroad if you?re lucky enough to have the sun shine :)

From the minute we met Brian at their wedding show we knew the Connemara Coast was the hotel for us. Between the breathtaking views and setting right on the sea, the friendly and professional staff, the incredible food and service, we actually had our dream wedding. We couldn't ask for more. Our family and friends are still raving about this hotel 2 months on, many of whom came over from the USA and are planning their trips back to stay here already. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the Connemara Coast to anyone for a truly special day. It is so close to Galway city but has the feeling of being away.

We were well impressed with the Connemara Coast from day one. Darius and John were always available to answer our questions and always helpful and friendly. We felt they could never do enough for us. They suggested things we never even thought of. They took a lot of the possible stress out of planning our wedding day for which we are grateful.

The food on the day was excellent and the amount was plentiful. Every one of our guests commented on it. The venue itself was beautiful and provided many wonderful photo opportunities. The bridge at the back in particular was a big hit with amateur and professional photographers.

We would like to thank sincerely everyone in the Connemara Coast for helping make our day one of the best days of our lives and one which we will never forget. We genuinely don't think there is a better place for a wedding.

We would like to say a huge thank you to John , Darius and all the staff for our amazing wedding weekend. From start to finish our guests were looked after to the highest standard. No request was to big and the hotel even sourced a small boat for the reception to hold the beers. All our suppliers also commented on how accommodating the hotel were. We could not but highly recommend this hotel for any couple who wants that extra special touch, from the quality customer service, outstanding food and drink to a unique venue with some of the most amazing views.

We had our wedding in the Connemara Coast last April and it was totally amazing!!! the staff went above and beyond at every stage of the planning. Darius was so helpful and so enthusiastic about our big day. He thought of all the finer details that made our day so special. We had over 20 children at the wedding and 280 adults and the venue was perfect for it. They had the perfect play area for the kids so all the adults could enjoy dinner and dancing. The food was absolutely amazing, we went for a meal in the restaurant before we decided on the venue and even at such a big wedding the food was the exact same perfect quality on the night of the wedding as it was the night we ate in the restaurant.

On the day Darius managed to keep everything running on time while still ensuring we had an unrushed stress free day, he made us feel like the most important couple in the world!! The venue was so amazing for photos and all of the staff in the hotel were so helpful and friendly throughout the whole weekend. The treatment was beyond 5 star and I recommend they without any hesitation, many of our wedding guests ended up staying an extra night because they loved the hotel so much!

Very friendly,helpful, professional staff and excellent service. The quality of the food was exceptional we had such an enjoyable day we couldn't recommend the Connemara Coast Hotel highly enough.

The hotel was amazing from start to finish . We live abroad and they corresponded to us through email very readily . They were so accommodating with all our requests . The staff were all very helpful . Our day was perfect . Food at this hotel is top notch . We have no complaints whatsoever !

We had a super day! everyone is still talking about it and they all had such a brilliant time and were so relaxed!! :) Wish we were getting married again now!!! :)

The ceremony room was made up exactly as we?d discussed and I was touched that Cathy had gone to the trouble of sourcing the exact flowers to match the wedding party. The room worked really well as a civil ceremony room with the beautiful views of the bay behind us.

Thanks a million for your help in organizing the wedding. We'd a great day!

Just a quick mail to thank you so much for everything over the weekend and over the last few
months as well. You made the whole thing so easy for us. ?
Everyone enjoyed the day thoroughly and all the guests were full of praise for the food, all your
lovely staff, the rooms and just what a great time they had overall in the Connemara Coast. Even
though it was wet outside the sun was definitely shining inside for us! The room was so well laid
out, the flower arrangements and chair sashes were just perfect. We felt really relaxed from the
minute we arrived and I knew everything would be fine - just a really lovely atmosphere.

We just wanted to let you know that we were thrilled with how things went on Saturday. The food, the service etc was fabulous! The waiting staff are a credit to you all. Thanks so much for making our day so special

Sorry I didn't get to say it in person, but I just wanted to say thanks a million for last Friday and everything you did for us in the run up. You are amazing at your job. You just kept both of us so so
calm and made it all very easy(for us!). Can you forward our thanks to Mike for the fabulous food.
All the staff were just brilliant and the guests were all raving about them.

Thank you Cathy for all your help. We really appreciated it and we had a day to remember.
