We can't thank the team at Hotel Doolin enough for making our wedding day everything we ever wanted. From our very first call with our wedding coordinator Paul, we knew that this was the venue for us. The team are easy going and a pleasure to deal with, making sure that every detail is taken care of with a white glove service. Our guests had a wonderful time, the food was exceptional and the rural location is simply stunning. We can not recommend Hotel Doolin highly enough - we just wish we could do it all over again!!

We still have serious wedding blues after what was truly the best day of our lives.
We honestly can’t thank you and the whole team at Hotel Doolin enough. From start to finish, the day exceeded all our expectations, and nothing was ever too much for you all. Everything ran so smoothly, and we were able to just relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such good hands.

Our guests haven’t stopped raving about it either – the never-ending amazing selection of food, the exceptional service, and the gorgeous setting. So many people have told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, which is such a testament to all the hard work you and the team put in behind the scenes.

One thing we especially appreciated was how attentive the staff were on the day, how seamless the transitions between each part of the celebration felt, and, of course, how incredible the food was. It really couldn’t have gone any better.
We honestly can’t think of a single thing we’d change – it was perfect in every way for us.

We’re already dreaming about coming back to Doolin for a visit! It will always hold such a special place in our hearts. 😍🩷

Warm regards,
Emma & Adam

From start to finish, our wedding at Hotel Doolin was absolutely incredible! We cannot thank you and the entire team enough for their dedication, attention to detail, and unwavering support in making our day so special. The organisation and facilitation of everything was seamless, from room allocations (with many changes) thank you Leanne! to our meal tasting and not being able to choose between the steak or chicken (and getting BOTH.!! thank you Niamh and PJ), to the decorating of the room (thank you Riona) to Paul, Niamh D and Tracey making us and all of our guest feel like the most important people in the world. This was especially evident to us when Paul jumped behind the bar when he noticed the bar staff under pressure due to the demand our cocktail crazy guests were putting on them.!! And also when Niamh D answered her phone (when her shift had ended) when bar manager Mark couldn't locate my Bouquet when I wanted to do the Bouquet toss, I was not phased when Mark informed me he couldn't find it as I was sure Niamh had left it somewhere safe but Mark was determined to find the bouquet, which he did after phoning Niamh. These moments, along with countless others truly made us feel so special. We truly felt like every little detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration with our loved ones.
Our guests are STILL talking about the food and drinks! I don't think I have ever heard some much positive talk about the food at a drink reception...so much so that myself and Paul are extremely envious we didn't get any as we were away taking our photos. The meal was exquisite — the quality and flavour exceeded all expectations, and the drinks/cocktails were perfection. The bar service was outstanding. Our friends and family were raving about it all night (and beyond!). The service throughout the day was impeccable — friendly, attentive, and professional. Everyone was made to feel welcome, and it made such a difference to the overall atmosphere of the day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate the most important day of our lives. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a flawless wedding experience! We so desperately hope at least one of our friends get married in Hotel Doolin so we can experience it all over again.!
Doolin will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to yearly visits.

All our love,

Aimee and Paul Collins x

We genuinely had the best weekend of our lives, and we couldn't be happier that we chose Hotel Doolin to celebrate our Wedding. I didn't appreciate when picking a venue how much of the weekend would rely on the hotel staff coordinating the day and I can't express how every single staff member ensured that our weekend was perfect, everything was seamless and made us feel like the most important special couple on the weekend. To help give you as much feedback as possible I have structured the below into different parts of the weekend and day :)

Friday
On arrival, the reception was great when handing any pieces for the weekend (such as candles for the ceremony and photos etc) & it was great having the run through with Tracey. It really helped settle the nerves and know that all was in hand for the set up. We had also booked into Stonewall for Dinner with the wedding party, this was a great way to kick off the weekend with a smaller group before heading up to McGanns. You accommodated this group booking on short notice and it was greatly appreciated! The food and service was lovely. Reception was also so accommodating allowing us to enter the bridal room when we needed and getting set up the night before was great.

Saturday
Tracey was brilliant throughout the Saturday morning checking in on myself and the bridesmaids when getting ready, giving us updates on timing etc. She also did a great job of rounding up everyone from the pub into the barn for the wedding ceremony, getting that lot out of the pub couldn't have been an easy task!! And I know that reception were brilliant too with different bits being dropped in across the morning at different times. After myself & Jonathan got back from getting our photos with Olga Sandra had saved me an Aperol Spritz after she spotted my excitement of them being set-up before the ceremony! Tracey also made sure that we had canapes that suited our allergies. The trad band was brilliant and Jonathan's nieces were delighted to get to do some Irish dancing for us, the lads were brilliant with them. All of the food served on the day was absolutely incredible - all of our guests remarked upon the food and were all very impressed with the quality and freshness. The ice cream cart went down an absolute treat too with both adults and kids, and the midnight supper too - nobody went hungry, the amount of food was brilliant. Throughout the meal Tracey checked in on us both, and all our parents to make sure we had drinks, food and everything we needed. Guests also commented on how brilliant all of the serving staff were and how much craic they had with them too. We had a great time with the band, music and DJ - rounding off a brilliant evening in Fitz' at the end.

Sunday
The BBQ on Sunday was a massive treat. It only dawned on us during the day we didn't even think to ask what would be served in the BBQ! But once again everything was delicious and in great supply, everyone was delighted to have such a brilliant feed and then the evening food that came out later too. The timings of the day really worked out well, we had music starting at 6:30pm which gave everyone time to digest and get ready to get back on their feet! We had put some money behind the bar and Tracey kept us in the loop with how much was spent and how much was left on the tab. The barn set-up is brilliant for the day two, and we enjoyed spending the evening in the bar. I don't know how you organised Rory McIlroy finally winning the masters but that added to the atmosphere fun and excitement too! Larry also tried to get the TV in Fitz' set-up with a Chromecast to watch the last stretch of it, he went above and beyond! The music in Fitz' was also great craic and had everyone back up again, it felt like a never-ending party :)

We can't speak more highly of everything across the weekend - we had the time of our lives, everything went so well. The food really is a stand-out and a lot of people said that it's the best meal they've had at a wedding in a long time, the seafood bar and cheese stand went down a treat. The set-up and layout is a brilliant space for people, everyone could move seamlessly from the barn, to the courtyard, the reception area. We had a few young kids at the wedding and their parents were able to relax more knowing that the whole space was enclosed, which was great.

The package itself is amazing, and really takes a lot of the stress out of the wedding planning - between everything that was included, Ríona's decor, the cake, we really got to enjoy the day and the build-up without having to worry about anything going wrong. The attention to detail is incredible and we were constantly impressed by this. You are the wedding experts, and we were very happy to go with the flow with any suggestions or ideas. Everyone was so flexible and could adapt everything to our needs on request, but it really is a brilliant streamlined system you have throughout the few days! There wasn't a decision we made that we regretted in hindsight and we wouldn't change any of it, we were so happy with how it all came together.

Another big factor in shaping the weekend is all the staff - it makes a huge difference, everyone we talked to across the whole build-up were fun, friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we had as much of a good time as we possibly could. That rubbed off on the guests too and added to their experience, everyone was so genuine, lovely and kind, leaving a very personal touch every step of the way. Jessica was working breakfasts both mornings and gave us a big hug as we were getting ready to check-out, Harsh and Rebecca on reception were so kind and checked in on us anytime we passed by in case we might need anything. Sandra really helped us get set-up on the day and throughout the reception, she also made sure my mum had her alcohol free prosecco both days and was comfortable. Mark and Larry working on the bar were brilliant fun too and went out of their way to help us at any point they could. Leanne, Sarah and Alma were very patient and helpful as we put together our rooming lists too!

Tracey was amazing over the few days, from meeting her again on Friday up until she finished on Sunday she made herself available to us throughout and we knew everything would go to plan in her hands. She went to a huge effort to make sure we were okay and everything was going well over the whole weekend. She also kept checking in with our parents too, who really appreciated how attentive she was. No detail was too fine, anything we asked or requested was carried out with a smile. We had planned to serve a birthday cake for one of Jonathan's nephews, and as we went to collect the cake Tracey already had it on a plate with a happy birthday icing thanks to the team in the kitchen and candles ready to go. We really appreciate how much she did for us over the few days.

And also a massive thank you to you! For all of your help and patience from day one! At no point in the lead-up to the wedding did we get overly stressed or worried or nervous and a large part is down to how you were able to put us at ease throughout. Any idea we had or note we mentioned were all taken on board and present on the day, even little elements we had forgotten about you had taken care of! Genuinely thank you so much for putting together a weekend we will never forget :)

We are already excited to visit again! Jonathan is a groomsman for a wedding in August but we will hopefully be back down to celebrate and relive the weekend well before then :)

Thank you so much, and happy to talk through any parts in more detail - unfortunately we don't have too many work-ons because it all went so well and I think you've already thought of everything!!

All the best,
Hannagh

Wedding Nov 2024

We had our wedding in Doolin Hotel on a Monday and it was the most magical place we have ever been to. From the sparkling lights to the fires lighting outside, simply amazing!! All the finest detail. The Staff, every single one, was so kind and super helpful

Couldn't recommend more for your wedding day...everything was seamless...made the day so relaxed and stress free...great package with music at reception and the meal, decor,cake, amazing food...guest are still raving about it all...staff were exceptional

The best wedding venue and team we could ever of dreamed of. Amazing location, venue, decor, incredible food, music, atmosphere. Everything we dreamed of and more. They took care of everything absolutely perfectly and put us at ease throughout the entire day especially Paul and Triona working there both absolutely great people.

My husband and I couldn't recommend Hotel Doolin more. From the moment of our first visit we felt looked after and not 'just another wedding'. Niamh, Paul and the whole team were amazing from start to finish - not to mention that the package offered made the planning process so much easier! Our friends and family are still raving about the weekend from the venue, to the food, to the staff and everything in between. It really was the best weekend of our lives and if we were to do it all over again we would choose Hotel Doolin again, without a doubt.

We had the most amazing day for our wedding in Hotel Doolin! We never stressed once from the moment we booked with them. Everyone we dealt with was so friendly, so relaxed and easy going. They always were prompt to reply to any queries we had and generous with their help and advice. The day itself was exactly what we wanted, relaxed and happy. All of the staff on the day were excellent and so friendly! The package we went for included so much including drinks, music and our wedding cake. The food and cake were fabulous. All of our guests loved it, with anyone we spoke to saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. If you are after a stress free wedding planning experience and a place with a chilled out relaxed vibe then this is the place for you. We had the best day of our lives!!

Hotel Doolin was such a fantastic wedding venue. Nothing was too much of an ask for them. We rearranged our date with them from 2020 to 2021 with ease and they allowed us flexibility each time and we never felt under pressure to make a decision on going ahead or not which was so lovely at such a stressful time. We were planning our wedding from the UK and at times it was tricky to know what to do during the pandemic.

Leading up to the day and on the day communication was always clear, the team was always so accommodating and were willing to put up with any request thrown at them, even putting up custom ribbon bunting for us in the barn and ensuring that my vegan and abstaining mum was well fed and watered at all times throughout the two days. We would 100% recommend the venue and we had the most wonderful couple of days in the hotel!

Great help in the lead up and fantastic service on the day!

From the moment we booked our wedding with Hotel Doolin, they were just amazing. No request was too big or too small. They have the most fantastic team. All our guests were blown away by the food and the beauty of the courtyard and barn. The whole hotel has a chilled out but professional vibe. Doolin itself is a magical place for photographs. I would highly recommend Hotel Doolin!

From the moment we visited Hotel Doolin first until after the wedding they were just unbelievable. They left no stone unturned and honestly made everything so easy for us. I cant recommend this place highly enough. We had such a good weekend! If you are looking for something different, this is the place to go to!!

So easy to deal with. Nothing was a problem. Any request I had they were brilliant. They know how to put on a wedding. Their staff are so lovely and professional.

Hotel Doolin was just a fantastic location for our wedding, It was all we wished it to be and more! They were incredibly accommodating from start to finish.
The venue beautiful, the special touches of Louise from Grace events (who also helped with making the church beautiful) to the efficiency of the staff and organisers. Just simply wonderfully made memories!

And the food!!..... it was an absolute hit with us and all the guests!

Hotel Doolin is the dream venue. With an all inclusive package the value for money is incredible. We live in Canada so choosing a venue that were easy to deal with and who were easily contactable was important. We couldn't have asked for more from Hotel Doolin and Paul the wedding coordinator in the Hotel. From our initial contact to the wedding everything was so easy. The quality of the service provided from the food to the decorations to the music was perfect and more than we could have hoped for. I did not hear one complaint from any of our guests and quite a few said they would go back to stay for a weekend away. All of the staff at the venue were fantastic and so helpful. It was just a lovely relaxed day and that was all thanks to the hard work and brilliance of the staff at Hotel Doolin.

Arranging a wedding from abroad can be very difficult and stressful - from the get co Donal and co were a dream to deal with. No matter what the request was it was met with respect and a "well do everything we can to meet your expectations" attitude. The weekend itself was perfect - we wouldn't change a single thing. The food was fantastic and the service just as good.

We were married on the steps of O'Brien's Observatory overlooking the Cliffs of Moher. The Hotel Doolin served as our base of operations for the entire wedding party, the reception, and dinner. The accomodations were lovely and the staff was wonderful. It was a short walk to McGann's Pub for drinks and music. We also enjoyed the walk into town and all the way to the rocky, but beautiful beach. Everything was meticulously arranged by our wedding Kate Deegan. We look forward to an anniversary visit with our growing family of 5!
