Connemara Coast Hotel

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!!

An Amazing hotel from start to finish, they were so accommodating and all our guest complemented the staff and facility. I couldn’t recommend a better hotel absolutely beautiful.

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.

I couldn’t recommend the Connemara Coast Hotel highly enough. Catherine, Micheal and the team were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. From the very first visit to the end. The quality of the food was second to none, the portions were amazing and they were so generous with the second helpings and wine top ups. The rooms were fabulous each room looks out on to the sea. All of our guests had such a wonderful time out there from the minute they arrived until they left the next day. Nothing was a problem to the team here, they were so personable the whole way through and got the job done all in the background! It was such a fabulous day! I’d do it all over again!

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.

This hotel provided an excellent service from the booking to the wedding day. They were very responsive, flexible and easy to deal with. Guests remarked at how attentive the staff were on the day and that the food was of a very high standard. The scenery around the venue is stunning. All the staff made our day very special and we cannot recommend them enough.

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.

Quite simply, great facilities and staff who go beyond the call of duty. We recently got married and had our reception at the Connemara Coast Hotel. Not only did we have a great wedding reception but also the staff were outstanding as they looked after our guests, both those who stayed in the hotel and those who attended the reception. The staff, led by the two Ann's and Catherine, couldn't do enough for us and we were delighted to hear such positive feedback from our family and friends about the experience they had. The views of the wild Atlantic ocean were breath taking, the facilities at the hotel which included the scenic reception room, the cosy bar, the play room for kids, the health centre, the library mezzanine and the fantastic restaurant, were all beyond our expectations. Whether it's to host a wedding or for a weekend stay, we could not recommend this 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!!! :)

would like to thank and recommend Connemara coast hotel! we had our wedding there in April and you guys couldn’t do enough for us. All our guests praised your staff, hotel, food and scenery! We had a fantastic week :)

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 have never have we met staff which are willing to go the extra mile as much as this bunch. Special mention to Cathy the wedding coordinator, Anne the manager and Carolina our Polish waitress who were all superb.? ? It’s the small things that got us excited in a hotel and by goodness Connemara Coast comes up trumps in this department.? ? The food was excellent from breakfast to lunch to dinner and especially our wedding meal, everyone complimented us on how wonderful everything tasted.? ? We would highly recommend getting married here because we're positive there is no place that will beat it for all of the above!? There is a feeling in the Connemara Coast that engulfs you the moment you walk through the door. This feeling of "homeliness" - A home away from home as such! We can't wait to return and we know that forever more the Connemara Coast will be a very special place to us!!

On behalf of myself and Conor I want to formally and sincerely thank you for everything you did to make our day so very special. Right from the start Ann Downey and then yourself did absolutely everything possible to make the entire occasion as stress and hassle free as possible. Every single time I have contacted you or stayed in the hotel I have been treated extremely well. Nothing was ever too much trouble and it did not go unnoticed. ?The feedback from our guests was absolutely phenomenal, everyone raved about the food and the service and the location and views!

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

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.

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
