Glenview Hotel and Leisure Club

The day could not have gone any smoother. Sinead was absolutely fantastic to deal with. Everything was taken care of to the last detail. We had a very small wedding but everything went very well. The managers on duty were always there and we didn't have to look for them at any time and help to ensure the smooth flow of the night. The bar staff were brilliant. Thank you to the Glenview Hotel.

What can I say about the Glenview hotel and staff. Nothing will actually do the service any justice!!

We had our wedding cancelled four times but the Glenview was always there and incredibly re assuring.

Working with Stacey and Eithne was a dream come true. When I say they bent over backwards to help us make sure we had the say we had longed for, I mean it.

From table settings, to chef creating a bespoke four course vegan menu for myself and my bridesmaids we had our perfect day.

Despite the rain, and the drama of four cancellations we can honestly say we had the greatest day of our lives here. And It is all thanks to Stacey and her team.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Thank you!

Sinead and the team at the Glenview Hotel could not have been more kind. After having to reschedule and change so much around our wedding the Glenview really took us under their wing and we had the most incredible day. They could not do enough for us. Our day was magical; there's not one negative thing I could say about the Glenview. Thanks again Sinead and the team x

We had the most amazing day here for our wedding! The staff went above a d beyond for us and our guests. They couldn't do enough for us, sinead looked after our every need and helped so much with the final touches. The food was amazing. Even doe we had a "covid" wedding for that 1 day they made us feel it didn't exist and I can't thank the staff enough, we will 100% be back for our 1 year anniversary thank yous so much

Staff couldn't do enough for us very helpful with anything that was asked sabine was fantastic on the day making sure everything went smoothly and Anna was fantastic making sure all guests had their rooms both couldn't of been more helpful. Bar staff were fantastic also making sure everyone was OK and restaurant staff for our BBQ were great too would definitely recommend having wedding at the Glenview Hotel.

Can't recommend the Glenview and staff enough, our wedding day was flawless. Our planner Rachel looked after everything on the day and the lead up. The staff on the day were tentative and helpful. We had a small intimate wedding and the private function room was the perfect size for 20 guests. We were hoping on an outdoor wedding in the beautiful gardens but the weather had other plans. On the morning I was a little disheartened by this, but once I arrived at the hotel I totally forgot about the rain as the room was decorated so beautifully.

My family love their food, my only concern on the day was would they be happy with the food we chose for them. They all absolutely loved their dinner and were well fed and watered for the day. The wine was kept flowing and the atmosphere was so relaxing.
I could find no fault with the Glenview, wish I could do it all again. ( If you do book it for your special day, wait until you see the pent house for the bride and groom) wow!! Leave it as a surprise on the night.

We recently had our wedding in the Glenview Hotel and I couldnt ask for better service. It was at a very reasonable rate and we were looked after from the very start and assisted in any wedding planning queries from the start. Rachel was the wedding planner that we dealt with and she was brilliant. On the day everything ran so smoothly from first getting to the hotel for the ceremony, to the drinks reception and everyone was rounded up for dinner so quickly. The food is amazing in the Glenview and service ran like clockwork. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for your wedding and none of the staff can do enough for you. It was a pleasure to stay there.

We had our wedding on Saturday, 27th October, 2018 in the Glenview Hotel. It was absolutely amazing, the best day of our lives. We couldn't have been happier with how everything went.
Rachel, our wedding coordinator, was just fantastic, she was so professional and she went above and beyond with any requests that we had! She had the room set up just as we had requested. We were able to contact her about any questions we had with a quick reply and on the day itself everything ran so smoothly. It’s easy to see why Rachel is a finalist in the weddings online awards 2019.
The food was superb and served so quickly all of our wedding guests were talking about how good it was, everyone was just brilliant, so professional and so friendly.
My husband and I would highly recommend the Glenview Hotel to any future bride and groom looking to celebrate their special day in a fabulous hotel with exceptionally professional staff and stunning views.

We got married in the Glenview a little over a month ago and had the best day ever. The hotel and wedding staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went seamlessly. All of our guests were raving about how good the food was! I would highly recommend anybody who is considering having an outdoor wedding to do it here as the grounds are fantastic and you are given full use of them for the day.

Rachel the co-ordinater was absolutely amazing she went above and beyond nothing was too much trouble for her. However you do need to specifically ask for every little thing you want kept after the wedding otherwise they throw it out and some of the things we were told we would have on the day we didn’t get but over all the staff were great and we were pleased with our day

Absolutely stunning hotel and grounds the garden ceremony and reception was amazing. The staff are amazing from booking to check out could not have done enough for us Rachel Carl Sabine where outstanding. All food was great lamb dinner was fantastic and the chip van really went down a treat. everyone said how great it was to go to a garden ceremony how relaxed and chilled it was .
Thank you all at the glenview you made out day so special

So we had our day last Friday 25 May in the Glenview Hotel and all I can say is everything was spectacular. I will be posting about my amazing suppliers shortly as they were all unreal and deserve the highest praise, but in the meantime here are a few photos. If anyone is undecided about a venue, you need to check out the Glenview. Views are spectacular. We were lucky enough to get the weather to be outside in the stunning gardens. The wedding planner Rachel was unreal. She was always available and ready to listen to all our weird and wonderful requests!! A total professional and a pleasure to deal with. Karl the assistant manager is like a machine who is always around with a smile on his face and willing to do all he can to make the day special. The staff were amazing. A lot of staff seem to be locals so there's a real relaxed family kind of feel to the place. Food was delicious. Ballroom is just the perfect size for an intimate wedding. Bridal suite is like a luxury apartment as opposed to a room! Couldn't fault anything....best day ever!!!

We had our wedding reception here a few weeks ago and are so happy we chose the Glenview! Rachel is an exceptional wedding planner who's passion is the small details that really make your big day. She is professional, on the ball and always there to answer any questions or worries you may have, and is also a lot of fun! All the staff in the Glenview are lovely and the food is amazing also. Perfect place for a perfect wedding.

We are based in the UK but wanted to have our wedding reception at home and chose the Glenview. The packages were great value and the one we chose was almost all inclusive. The food was delicious and we had loads of people say that it was such a lovely meal. It was a bit of a rocky start with our initial wedding coordinator who was great in person but over email left out a lot of info and wasn't very clear. However, Rachel then took over as our Wedding Coordinator and couldn't have been more helpful. She was great to work with, especially considering we live abroad. She was available to answer all and any questions and was quick to respond to emails. She met with my mother on a few occasions to go over extra details in person. I didn't actually meet her until a month before the reception when we went over final details for the day and she couldn't have been more flexible. She really went out of her way to ensure the day panned out just as we wanted it to.

we had our wedding here in November and the staff especially Kate were amazing

We got married overseas, and the glenview made everything so easy! We can’t rate this place high enough. It was beautiful and the food was fantastic!!

Great venue lovely staff helpful and friendly
Just you must be firm and know exactly what you want for your wedding and direct it so.
All in great day

We had intimate wedding in September.
Views and location of this place are simply stunning. Our ceremony was in Gardens and left all our guests awed.
We had half of our wedding party travelling from abroad and they were surprised and delighted beyond.
Kate, the wedding executive is an asset to this place.
She was absolutely amazing, full of ideas and not just random wedding suggestions. She always listened, knowing what we like and her suggestions were based on our taste and requirements.
She did bilingual menus for our wedding and to our surprise she speaks Russian as well. My guests were absolutely thrilled about this. It's always good to have someone speak in your language so far from home.
Both Kate and Sabrine were so good with our child guests, extremely patient and playful with them. Hotel also provides babysitting service, which we found amazing.
We will be coming back here for friend's wedding and few family occasions and we honestly can't wait.

Got married at the glenview hotel wicklow stunning hotel and grounds.Food fantastic .Hotel staff couldnt have did more . Kate was so good great wedding planner .Defnitly reccommend this hotel for weddings we had an amazing day food was delicious and plenty of it.Gardens are what make this hotel so good cant wait to see our photos ????

Our wedding day was the most important day to us and the staff at the Glenview really helped this be just that. We had our ceremony in the gardens and a BBQ the next day.
The Glenview and it's unique grounds made for the most picturesque wedding setting. We used the photographer Anna G and florist recommended by the hotel and they did a great job.
The food was fantastic & delicious and was enjoyed by all.
The hotels staff were very accommodating and ensured everything was set exactly how we wanted.
Kate and Aoife made sure everything went smoothly and were to hand to assist us and our family and friends really enjoy their time in the Glenview.
I would strongly recommend this venue for anyone getting married, the food and scenery and staff made our wedding day such a day to remember.

Glenview hotel was a perfect location for our wedding reception. We could not have asked for a better outcome despite the weather. Kate definitely handled everything in a professional manner and we could not be happier! Thank you so much for making our wedding day memorable.

we had are wedding in the Glenview hotel in June, it was a fantastic day and the staff couldn't do enough for us . food was fantastic, and a lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed by all.

The Glenviee hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff were extremely helpful in the build up and always available to answer any questions we had. The venue was beautiful and both us and our guests had absolutely no complaints at all. The food was gorgeous and served on time. The views from the venue are spectacular and are a real compliment to the day, we will definetly be recommending The Glenview to our friends in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding reception at Glenview. Thanks to Sandeep and his team in the kitchen. Everything was cooked/prepared to perfection and we received so many compliments on the food, it was really amazing. Sabine and the rest of the wait staff took such good care of us and all our guests on the night. Everything was well organised and the service top notch. Kate the wedding planner went out of her way to help plan our day. She was able to accommodate all our requests and made brilliant suggestions - the evening food chip van was a real hit with our guests! Overall can't fault anything about our experience and Glenview made our wedding day so special.

Our wedding at the Glen view was incredible. We were lucky enough to had a wonderful weather.
Ceremony gardens and main garden had colorful lanterns to have matched our theme. We had printouts for our guests and Kate made them in scrolls and tied with yellow ribbon (yellow was our theme).
She was always there to help us, on email, phone or meetings and always open to new ideas and suggestions.
Food was out of this world. Taste and presentation, all top notch.
We had met head chef prior and everything was delivered as agreed.
We highly recommend this venue and Kate with her masterful wedding planning skills.

We had gorgeous little wedding at the Glenview. It was rainy day and we couldn't use their gardens, but indoor lounge and ceremony room was incredible.
Kate had arranged for some extra decor to have matched our theme and she got us golden candelabras that were amazing addition to our dinner reception.
We want to thank Kate and Sabine who assisted us at every step of the way and made is feel like royalty.
Looking forward to out very special first year anniversary.

We had a wonderful wedding in Glenview. I can't fault the service on the day, particularly Sabine who was an absolute star to work with - she's so efficient, caring and straightforward, which is what all wedding couples need! We were married in the Woodlands restaurant, which gave us stunning views and the room was beautifully decorated. We were a bit unsure how the hotel would pull off our "Batman" theme for the reception, but nothing was too outrageous for them (including the bat signal we had projected onto the floor in the ballroom - provided externally).

The only fault I had with Glenview was the change in wedding coordinators during the process. The person changed 4 times during the planning of the wedding, each time we were not informed of the change (which is why I only marked 4.5 in professionalism as I felt we should have been told). It was only when I contacted them myself, I was greeted by someone new. This was incredibly frustrating for myself and my husband, but when we met Sabine (who works in operations) we were completely put at ease, as she's the one that looks after everything!

All of the staff in the Glenview were incredibly professional and kind towards all of our guests - nothing was too much trouble for them. Our family and friends are already planning their return trips to the hotel for the amazing food and beautiful walks!

Fantastic support & direction from Alina, her warmth & top class service was second to none. A Hotel with so much character with a picturesque location, food & service exceptional on the day but the real winner was planning our perfect day with Alina; she was a total pleasure to deal with, so supportive, professional yet embracing our ideas & assisting us in creating a stunning but also personally reflective theme, what a wonderful memorable celebration from start to finish, we only wish we could repeat the day again!! Thank you most sincerely Laura & Tara

We had our wedding fully booked down to the florist a year and a half in advance, and we got a nasty shock when we our period venue revealed that they had no bar license. Panic ensued!!! Deposits had been paid and we were all set for our bank holiday wedding. I spent days researching venues and putting in a call to every suitable one that could hold our number.

Of the 28 venues I called, some could not have been less courteous if they tried, others promised information that simply never landed in my inbox, and some wedding coordinators didn't even seem to know the basics like room capacity and €/ head. I remember the call to the Glenview still - Alina, the Glenview wedding coordinator answered, she was so sympathetic and she just got me, plain and simple. She understood the stressful nature of the situation we were in, had the date we needed and sent on the relevant information while we were practically still on the phone - I knew that this was the venue for us. I got off the phone that day with a genuine sense of relief that everything was going to be just fine.

We visited the venue, fell in love with the gardens and the surrounding forest walk - perfect for pictures. The function room was the perfect size, and I loved the neutural decor (no crazy coloured carpet or cheap paneled ceilings). Alina was wide open to every little hair brained idea I had about what we might like to do decor wise for the wedding day, I am an event planner and a Pinterest-aholic. I suggested rubber ducks in the fountain at one stage just to test the waters, we didn't do that, but I loved that if we were passionate enough about rubber duckies - we could have done that :) Some venues can be quite fussy about what they will and won't allow in decor terms.

All along the way Alina was terrific, she was brilliant at returning calls and emails about any wee thing I queried, and she is also backed by a great team - Urmas in reservations, and Sabine in events. We had our tasting and the only complaint we had was that we were too full to finish our courses, the food was great. I loved that our guests were going to have choices for starter and mains, without the additional supplement fees/course thrown in. The Glenview ticked a lot of our boxes.

5 days before the wedding, we arrived with 2 car loads of boxes of homemade crafts for the day and went through everything in painful detail regarding how we wanted it all set up on. When we arrived at the Glenview after the ceremony, we went to the ballroom to check everything, we needn't have bothered - the room was set out perfectly and we could not have done it better ourselves.

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. Everything went so well, the room was beautifully set up, the food was plentiful and tasty, the service was spot on - not too long between courses, the staff were brilliant. One of my guests spilt half a glass of red wine over her black and white silk dress, Sabine came to her rescue in a flash with soda water and got it all out... to everyone's surprise.
The whole day ran so seamlessly, and the positive feedback we have had from all our guests has been phenomenal. If you want to truly enjoy your wedding day, booking a trustworthy and capable venue is key to that. And you need to have a wedding coordinator who is genuinely as excited about your day as you are. I never once felt like I was just a number dealing with Alina, down to following my Pinterest board and helpful tips based on her vast experience - she could not possibly have done more. Pretty sure I spoke as much about Alina in my speech as I did my new hubby :)

No bride wants to be a ball of stress in the run up to, or on the day. Hand on heart I loved every minute of it, because we did not have to worry about anything as it had all been planned and executed so well. I could not recommend the Glenview Hotel highly enough - this venue is great because of the people who work there, and if you have your wedding here your day will be great too.

We had such a lovely time from booking to saying I-Do, Alina and the staff where so helpful and its great value for money the function room and grounds are beautiful, we couldn't of asked for more from a venue. Alina was brilliant to deal with and helped us out a lot.
Just like to thank Alina again for helping us so much with the wedding we will see you soon.

We have a wonderful experience, we couldn't ask anymore from the hotel staff as they were fantastic, all our guests and ourselves we're delighted with the high quality of the food, Alina did a fantastic job throughout all the planning of the wedding, we also had the opportunity of being taken care by Sabine and Vivienne who like Alina were exceptional.
We planned our wedding at the Glenview as a couple we know had got married at the glenview hotel and recommended the hotel to us, we are delighted that we took their recommendation as the highly trained waitressing staff, wedding planner and on the day organisers made this truly the best day of our lives that we will never forget.
The penthouse room and view are amazing and guests who stayed at the hotel also complemented the high standards of the hotel facilities and staff.

We booked the Glenview Hotel at the RDS Wedding Fair after speaking with Vivienne. Vivienne took the time to talk to both myself and my now husband as I had concerns how they would manage a meal with someone who is highly lactose intolerant. We then met with Alina who reassured me that the hotel would be able to cater for my needs, she even got the Head Chef to come talk to me which spoke volumes to both of us. Alina was very helpful right from the start, with ideas and suggestions for our 'Special Day'. Alina we would like to say 'Thank You' for all your assistance.
Alina went out and got flowers to match my bridesmaid colours, cobalt blue for the hotel and function room. The function room looked amazing and surpassed our expectation. The gardens were also decorated in the bridesmaids colours and all our guests loved how the gardens were decorated.
Every detail was taken care of and all the staff went above and beyond to ensure 'Our Day' would hold a lasting happy memory with us and our guests.
Special 'Thank You' also to Sabine who went out of her way to make a posey from my candle arrangement in order to have a bouquet to throw.

From our first impressions of both the Glenview and Alina we knew we had made the right choice. The location was perfect and Alina guided us perfectly from start to finish to ensure our day was magical. On the day itself the hard work of the team really became apparent with all aspects meeting our expectations and beyond - it didn't even rain!? Both Alina and Sabine work so well together and really ensured our special day was one we will never forget!? We will always have great memories of the hotel, staff, food and experience and very much look forward to coming back to stay on our 1 year anniversary. All members of staff were so helpful at every stage of planning the wedding and on the day itself. A big thanks must go to Alina and Sabine who ensured things were perfect and ran so smoothly. It really made our day so very special. Thanks again to all those who made our day truly wonderful. Richard & Jennifer

We were beyond delighted with our wedding at Glenview Hotel. We booked our wedding 5 months before the big day and had a lot to organise but Alina put our mind at ease and recommended an amazing photographer, DJ and spiritualist for the big day which made organizing so much easier. We were hoping for an outdoor personalized wedding and the staff at Glenview delivered on every single element. They helped us to create the day and night of our dreams - a beautiful spiritualist ceremony in the picturesque gardens followed by a classy and fun outdoor prosecco reception and a fabulous dinner and evening reception in the ballroom with stunning views of the downs. Our guests also complimented the delicious food and generous servings. We wanted to incorporate personal touches and our love of music to almost every aspect of the wedding and Glenview were very accommodating with all of the arrangements, decorations and entertainment set-up. Some of our requests were outside the realm of a more traditional wedding but Alina encouraged all of our ideas. I would not hesitate to recommend the Glenview Hotel as a superb choice for a wedding venue. It is situated in the most beautiful surroundings of the Glen of the Downs and the extremely professional, accommodating and friendly staff will go above and beyond to ensure that their Bride&Groom have the day and night of their dreams.
We will always cherish the memories of our magical wedding at Glenview!

We had our wedding in the Glenview Hotel on August 4th 2015. From the moment we booked our date we knew that we had made the right choice. The attention to detail and professionalism from the staff was above and beyond what we expected. Alina helped us through the year with some great suggestions to make our big day even more special. The staff, led by the brilliant Sabine could not have been more friendly or professional. Our guests are still talking about the Food and many have commented that it is the best they have ever had at a Wedding. The Glenview has a rich history and we are very happy to be a part of it

My wedding at The Glenview Hotel in July 2015 was a beautiful outdoor Humanist Ceremony. The attention to detail I received from all the staff and especially from the wedding planner Alina for her professional expertise made us feel very special. Everything from the amazing food, Shirley the beautician to the beautiful romantic gardens was taken care of by the hotel. It was a beautiful magical day for us and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Glenview Hotel to any couples who are currently looking for a wedding venue.

We had our wedding on the 18/6/15 in the glenview I can honestly say it was the perfect location. We were lucky to have our ceromony outside in the beautiful gardens ..The weather was fab. The staff were amazing and catered for our every need.Everyone commented on how delicious the food was .. hands down the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend the Glenview for any type of occasion.! Thanks again to all the staff for making our day so special ?

We had a wonderful day in the Glenview Hotel on May 1st and the setting was stunning. At every meeting in the run up to the wedding, Alina was friendly and enthusiastic. There was fantastic attention to detail and great value for money. Both the function room and honeymoon suite were beautiful. Everything on the day went smoothly so we were free to thoroughly enjoy our day! Thank you!

On behalf on myself and my husband Des, we would like to extend our huge thanks to an amazing team who were so professional, friendly and accommodating to make sure we had an incredible day. We would especially like to mention Alina and Sabine for all their time and hospitality towards us and all our guests. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that everything was perfect. Together these ladies make the perfect team and provided us with a truly unforgettable day that our guests are still raving about. We will never forget our wedding day and we're lucky enough to have such wonderful ladies and staff looking after us to honestly give us one of the happiest days of our lives. Delighted to have chosen the Glenview Hotel to have our wedding reception. Overall rating of the day and our time leading up to our big day would be 5 star all the way. Thank you very much for looking after us and our guests so well. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone contemplating choosing this venue for their wedding. Many thanks again

The Glenview Hotel proved to be an wonderful location for our wedding reception. The wedding manager took time to listen and understand our particular wishes and requirements, and made us feel welcomed from the first meeting with her. The ballroom was fantastic and beautifully decorated on the day. Food and drink were plentiful and very high quality, and the beautiful hotel grounds were a perfect backdrop for photos, even in late autumn. We found the hotel staff to be helpful and professional, and our guests all enjoyed their stay. In summary, Glenview Hotel exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue and we are more than happy to recommend it!

Hi Alina, we just wanted to say 'THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH' for all your amazing help, support, creativity and inspiration for our wedding. You really added so much to the planning and build up - getting us on board with having a theme and doing some DIY crafty things! It wouldn't have been the same without you and we really appreciated it. We'd also like to say a massive thanks to Sabine and her team who did an amazing job on the day as well. Sabine was just so efficient and on top of everything ensuring the nights festivities went seamlessly!

Hi Alina, On behalf of Edel and myself, I just wanted to say how grateful we both are for all your help and efforts in organising the reception in the Glenview. The hotel looked stunning, especially the gardens, and a lot of our guests commented to us how friendly and attentive the staff were on the day. Knowing how well looked-after our guests were really helped us enjoy our special day. Similarly, please pass on our gratitude to Barry, Sabine, Chef and all the catering staff. The food was amazing and more than a few people told us how great it was to see extra helpings being offered. Our day was truly unforgettable and that was due in no small part to your own skill and professionalism and that of the Glenview. Once again, many thanks for everything. Kind regards, Conal and Edel

Thank you Alina, Sabine and all the fantastic staff for making our day so special and welcoming. The room and the gardens looked beautiful. You all went above and beyond in every possible way. We were looked after so well and our guests could not praise the food, the hotel and staff enough. We had an amazing day and experience thank you xxxxx

What a wonderful day we had, everything was truly amazing. Thank you Alina & Sabine for looking after Jen and Phil so well, and all our family and friends. It was such a memorable day. All the staff, at main reception, at the bar, the chef, and particularly those who served the beautiful food. Thanks to everyone at The Glenview Hotel. Susan, Mother of the Bride

Myself and my Hubby got married in Glenview hotel on the 30th May 2014. I have to say it has the most beautiful grounds. the staff could not be anymore helpful , the hotel rooms are comfy and it has a warm and relaxing feel to it

We got married on the 10th of May 2014 which was one of the best days of our lives. The Glenview really made this possible for us. I can't say enough about this place. The food, the staff and level of care that was provided to us by all the team was 150%. We can't wait to go back and visit. For anyone looking for a fantastic and flawless reception The Glenview is the place to go.. Thank you again for a very special day..

The Glenview Hotel made our wedding wonderful. They were fantastic to deal with and couldn't do enough for you! Each time we visited to discuss something we were treated like friends. Even now when we pop in (which isn't often as we live in UK) we are always treated like family! Brian, Seamus and many others remember us and ask us how we are.
On the wedding day the staff were excellent and everything ran smoothly.
You couldn't ask for a better wedding venue and all our guests said the same thing!
Thanks again all!!!!
