Lakeside Hotel

I just want to say a huge thank you to yourself, Lynsey and all the staff at the Lakeside Hotel for everything. From booking the reception last year to leaving the reception at the early hours of Saturday morning everything was perfect and all our need and request were on point. Thank you!
It was an amazing day, and I would love to do it all again!!! I would highly recommend the venue. The food, accommodation and staff were brilliant.

Thank you so much both Patrick and myself appreciated it all.

The service was fabulous. From the minute I met Catherine the deal was sealed in my mind that the wedding would take place at the lakeside. Catherine was available and answered anything asked of her. The day itself was amazing and better than my husband or I could have ever hoped it could be. All of our guests had an amazing time. The atmosphere in the hotel was lovely from start to finish. That's to all the staff for all their help throughout the planning and on the day/day after our wedding

Catherine and the team went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding ran like clockwork. I could not fault them. The attention to detail is amazing. I felt like I was in good hands from the start. Throughout the planning Catherine was there day or night to answer any questions we had. On the wedding day itself, my new husband and I could not have been happier. The meal was some of the best food I have ever tasted and all of our guests were raving about it. There was so much great food from start to finish.

Thank you to all the team at the Lakeside for giving us our dream wedding.

We just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for everything throughout the whole process of our wedding planning. You were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn't have had our amazing day without you. You were so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, you make it look so easy! All of the staff we encountered throughout the whole weekend was so friendly and professional, all of our guests commented on it. Getting to have the ceremony outside was a dream come true and it looked amazing, as did the ball room. The food was delicious and all of our guests were very happy.

Thank you so much again for playing such a huge part in our wedding, we couldn't have done it without you!

We had our wedding in The Lakeside Hotel this summer. We found the attention to detail given by The Lakeside to be outstanding. Catherine and her team go out of their way to make your day special and there isn't a request that they don't try and cater for. Every stage of the reception was organised with care, precision and the utmost level of professionalism. They also made the day fun and allowed us to be ourselves. Taking care of us as the bride and groom on the day was also a special touch and very much appreciated.

We got married here in August and every single person who attended our wedding, had very high praise for the hotel. The view, the reception drinks and food, the dinner, the entertainment and the staff were all top class. A lot of people said it was the best wedding they were ever at, not a single complaint. Catherine Lewis is top class, she never let us down once. Thanks so much.
Aisling & Denis

What can I say, Catherine is an absolute delight to have worked with throughout our wedding planning experience. She is exceptional at her job. From the first point of contact Catherine was extremely warm welcoming and put our nerves and any concerns at ease. From an indecisive couple who can never make a decision on the most easiest of things Catherine really helped us think of what we wanted for our wedding day and helped us with tough decisions. The Lakeside Hotel is a beautiful, relaxed venue. It's staff go above and beyond ensuring that your food, stay and experience is to the highest of standards. I would highly recommend both The Lakeside and Catherine to anyone who is looking for a stress free wedding day.

From our first meeting with Catherine, we knew The Lakeside was the best choice for us. Beautiful setting, fabulous staff and nothing was a problem. Our wedding day went perfectly from the minute we arrived. Our day started with an outdoor ceremony in the garden and it set the tone nicely for the rest of the day. Excellent meal and service. All our guests had a lovely experience.

What can we say about our wedding day on the 10th June 2023 at the Lakeside Hotel. Sinead, (one of the wedding coordinators), she was so professional, we could not believe how everybody and everything ran according to the schedule. Catherine, the other wedding coordinator was a dream to work with in the lead up to our day. She kept us informed on everything that was happening with the hotel.

All of our guests have done nothing but rave about the location, the food and the staff who where very professional in the tasks they were doing.

We can't thank you both for keeping everything so on point even with the last minute decision to move indoors, from what Owen said you had all of outside and inside set up on the Friday ready to go but Mother Nature had other plans so you had to change everything very quickly ! All I can say is wow you guys really know how to work under pressure!

We would recommend the Lakeside to anyone looking to get married or hold their reception there as you have such an VIP and homely experience from the very beginning. It was lovely to see that they wanted to get to know us as a couple more then just wanting the business of our wedding.

We cannot recommend the Lakeside enough. From initial outreach to after the wedding, both Catherine and staff were on the ball. So responsive and quick to provide suggestions and recommendations, you can tell they are experts in organizing your perfect day. As we live abroad, a lot of our calls were done via zoom but Catherine was flexible with meeting times and really went out of her way, making it it personal to us. In terms of d?cor, they have a variety of styles to chose from to transform the ballroom, so for someone who is not too creative, it was so nice not to have to worry, knowing that Catherine & staff would make it aesthetically pleasing, without it being OTT. The service on the day was next to none, we were treated so well and the food & portions were perfect. The packages they provide are very flexible, definitely value for money, and having adequate rooms available for guests is an added plus. Both the waterfront cottages and hotel rooms were very reasonable and ideal for guests coming from out of town. As well as the service and amazing food, the venue itself is situated by the water which provides for beautiful pictures, there are different gardens and hot spots for the photographer to snap away! I would highly recommend Catherine and the Lakeside to anyone looking for a stress-free, perfect lakeside wedding.

The hotel was fantastic and beautiful scenery. All the staff did a fantastic job especially Catherine our wedding coordinator above for us. We would do it all again she took all the stress out of it for us.

Myself and my husband got married in The Lakeside 3 weeks ago and honestly it was the best day of our lives. We couldn't fault a single thing with the hotel. Catherine the wedding planner there is FANTASTIC, you could trust her with everything and she was always contactable. We had fabulous feedback from our guests that the food was amazing too which made us so happy. The service was top notch, couldn't fault a thing!

Fantastic venue

Catherine Lewis was amazing so so helpful and understanding. She was a star very good to us and supportive

Stunning hotel and excellent service. We were delighted with our wedding venue.

We had a great wedding experience from our initial meeting with Catherine the wedding co-ordinator right through to the second day of our wedding.
Even though we were only had a few month to prepare for the wedding before our actual wedding everything that could have been done to cater for us was done and more.

Couldn't fault the lakeside hotel they were outstanding from the minute we booked with them, Catherine was an absolute presure to deal with.

Excellent hotel for a wedding, Catherine, wedding coordinator extremely helpful. Food is fabulous, guests very impressed with the service also.

Mary is amazing at her job. Leave your wedding in her very capable hands and enjoy the big day in peace

Cathrine Lewis was absolutely brilliant
So easy to deal with , always friendly and welcoming
The lakeside hotel is just amazing hotel , location , scenery , staff , food was unreal , can't fault any of it
Would highly recommend , 5 star all the way

We had our Wedding Day at the Lakeside Hotel on the 10th of August 2019. It went smoothly from beginning to end and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The food, venue and service was second to none. We really enjoyed it and so did all of our guests!

A special thanks to Catherine Lewis and the team from the initial meeting up until our Wedding Day, you were a pleasure to deal with and it made the whole process so easy and everything looked amazing on the day.

We would highly recommend the Lakeside as a Wedding venue. The location, service and staff are amazing and it gets 5 stars from us! ?

We always heard the Lakeside put on a fab wedding but boy we're we in for a treat! Catherine is wonderful and makes sure everything is tailored to exactly what you're looking for. Food was AMAZING. Our guests didn't stop telling us how it was the best wedding food they've had. They really treat you like you're the most special person. Could not recommend enough.

Catherine and all of the team at the Lakeside hotel were absolutely incredible. We organised our wedding from New Zealand and it was made easy by the flexibility , organisation and helpfulness of Catherine from day 1 . We would highly recommend the lakeside hotel as a wedding venue as it ticks all of the boxes - beautiful location , accommodation is amazing especially the new waterfront rooms , fantastic food , unreal decor tailored to exactly our woodland/wildflower theme and amazing service along with great value for money!! We had the most incredible wedding day thanks to the team at the lakeside.

Top-class venue and wedding planner. Thanks

Catherine should get a raise!
I had complete confidence that I could fully rely on Catherine for every detail. Throughout the whole process she was on top of everything, quick to respond to emails, never forgot anything that we had mentioned and kept methodical notes every time we met. She always appeared very calm, organised and on top of her workload as if we were the only clients she had on her schedule! In the busyness of the day we forgotten to make sure that the photographer and videographer(who had travelled from Dublin at 7am that morning) were offered a meal on us. We were so disappointed that someone hadn't mentioned it to us on the day and so emailed the photographer and videographer to apologies only to be told that Catherine had actually looked after them on the day without even getting us involved! So fantastic and proactive!
So many guests commented on how amazing the food was, it was served really hot and as one guest observed...?it wasn't just hot from sitting under a heater? it was hot from being timed perfectly and everything tasted amazing. The presentation of the food to the top table was fantastic, from the staff all wearing white gloves, to the ceremonious synchronised revealing of each course, very theatrical, I loved it!
Every time I have visited the hotel, every member of staff I have met have been such a pleasure to deal with, this is probably the feature of The Lakeside that I have been most consistently impressed with....and the food! This was also something that was mentioned by guests, how lovely and well trained the staff were, especially the two younger guys serving in the residence bar, at that hour of the morning were still full of smiles and good humour.
The grounds of the hotel and gardens looked amazing. We decided to put the bridal party and our parents into the new waterfront suites and they were absolutely blown away by them.
I couldn't have wished for anything more from The Lakeside and we are so thrilled that we chose it for our wedding reception.
We will be back again soon! Thanks everyone.

Recently had our wedding at The Lakeside Hotel, cannot compliment the hotel and the staff enough. Catherine was absolutely excellent on the run up to the wedding, going above and beyond for us and taking care of any requests that we had. The hotel looked brilliant on the day and we had a wonderful time.

We had our wedding in the Lakeside in May 2019. We shopped around a lot but it was actually the wedding manager Catherine that made us choose this venue. It was the only place we left where we felt like we just had tea with an old friend. She made us feel at ease and comfortable. From the beginning she also had some great suggestions too to help in our planning. Packages weren't set in stone and things could be moved around easily. It was a different atmosphere in the hotel too, after booking we would often go for a drive and have Sunday dinner there and everyone we met there was so friendly and attentive. Our wedding day went seamless then, Catherine had thought of things we had forgotten about. We got a lot of comments from our guests on the amount of food and drinks on arrival, that was particularly nice. Also the meal itself was everything you could possibly want. Overall I?d highly recommend having your wedding at the lakeside. We were able to personalize with anything we wanted and nothing we asked about was a problem!

I couldn't fault the Lakeside Hotel in anyway, I would highly recommend the hotel to any couple. Catherine was on hand to answer every question we had, she was there to help in any way and offer support and advice. We planned the wedding from London, and I honestly don't think we could have done it without Catherine! On the day, all the staff were outstanding. So helpful and attentive. We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on the grounds, the food, the staff, the rooms. Everyone raved about the hotel, and lots of our guests have booked to stay in the Lakeside again!

I really would not hesitate to recommend the Lakeside to any couple

We chose the Lakeside for it's location, setting, and for it's reputation for weddings, and we were not disappointed! The Lakeside surpassed our expectations across the board. Catherine Lewis is a fantastic wedding and events manager. Any request we made was dealt with so smoothly, she is so approachable, warm, and very organised! The day went so smoothly, and we attribute this to the incredible organisational skills of Catherine, and also the rest of the team. The staff at the hotel during the reception were very professional and efficient, while Thomas ensured the smooth operation of the day. Even details such as having some food and prosecco put aside for us when we came out of the ceremony (which was much appreciated). Overall, I cannot recommend this team enough for the organisation of a wedding.
We had a humanist ceremony in the hotel, and so many guests commented on the amazing turnaround from ceremony setting to dinner setting of the ballroom. The staff transformed the room from ceremony to reception and the room looked gorgeous.
We highly highly recommend this hotel for a wedding, and are so delighted that we went with them. We wouldnt change a thing!

We can't compliment the Lakeside enough. The venue is beautiful, well decorated. The garden outside, overlooking the river and town of Killaloe was an absolute dream. We were so lucky. Catherine was so much fun and so organised and helpful. In the hectic days leading up to the day she kept us on track. The food was amazing. Compliments to the chef. Everyone was delighted...and stuffed. The function room had loads of daylight streaming in so you didn't feel like you were in a bunker, which is common in a lot of hotels. It was beautiful. Highly recommend the place and it's wonderful staff.

This is a lovely location for a wedding. The wedding planner Catherine is amazing and makes everything so easy and is so helpful and the food what, can i say it is amazing and everyone of our guest were raving about it. Would highly recommend the hotel for your wedding you will not be disappointed.

I can not recommend highly enough the Lakeside hotel to host your wedding and indeed as a place to stay.
It is an amazing hotel, with top level personal service, in a beautiful setting.
Even though it mainly hosts larger wedding events, we had a small, intimate ceremony with lots of specialized requests, which they could happily accommodate.
Eoin, Catherine and the team there were essential to the planning and offered great guidance to us.
During the day itself , they basically ran the show and we could not have asked for it have been better .
It really was special.

All of The Lakeside staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the many times we visited the hotel.

The Food was amazing and our guests are still commenting on how lovely the food was and how big the portions were.

The Hotel is spotlessly clean with gorgeous bedrooms looking out onto the River. The Reception Staff were very helpful to us when allocating rooms to family and friends.

Both Darragh and I would like to Thank the Lakeside Staff for everything they did for us. We both would highly recommend the Lakeside hotel to all newly engaged couples and you will be in safe hands in the hands of Catherine Lewis.

Food was 10/10
Catherine the wedding co ordinator was 11/10
Lynsey and all the girls at the reception were very professional.
The only thing our guests and ourselves would dock is the lack of accomadation.
Overall very pleased. Would definitely recommend.

We felt instantly at ease when we went to view The Lakeside as a possible venue for our wedding. The decor of blues and grays were exactly the type of thing we would pick ourselves and as we chatted to Catherine by the fire, we knew there was nowhere else we wanted to have our wedding.

This is a hotel who really have everything you are looking for - the view can be seen from nearly every window, the hotel is warm and inviting, and the function room glittered with backdrops of fairy lights. As we walked down to the function room I kept commenting on the decorations - every single one of which were available to brides to be. The fuction room was an ideal size - big but not cavernous. I remember thinking how bright it was and perfectly set up for a night of dancing and craic.

Catherine was a dream to work with - recommending vendors, checking in to see if things were on track - she was really thorough in finding out how we wanted the tables to look and adding to them in such a beautiful way. She has so much experience that it makes planning a breeze knowing that both she and the hotel is not something you have to even worry about. On the day of the wedding she was on hand, making sure everything was perfect - we couldn't have asked for more.

The hotel made our wedding incredibly special - the service in the hotel from the waiters to the service desk to the wedding team were second to none. The food at the wedding is still being talked about and we have eaten there before and since because it is guaranteed quality each and every time.

This hotel is modern, comfortable, has amazing food, service and views, and is exceptionally good value. What more could you ask for? We intend to have many family functions here through out the years. Thank you again to the amazing staff at The Lakeside Hotel

Catherine & her team were phenomenal to deal with throughout our entire wedding journey. From the intricate details, we wanted added to the day, to the food, wine, service, hospitality - everything was more than we could have asked for! Many friends and family have complimented the venue since - particular mention to the food served. Specific praise to Catherine on how well she looked after us on the day - it was the small touches that made the difference. We really appreciated it. The Lakeside Hotel is a venue I couldn't recommend enough for anyone's special day.

The Lakeside Hotel was the first venue we visited when we started our wedding research. From that first meeting with Catherine we knew the Lakeside was where we wanted to have our wedding reception. The hotel itself had a lovely homely feel and all staff made us feel welcome.
We were very happy with the wedding package on offer and we felt that any requests we had regarding menus/decor etc. were met. The food on the day was beautiful and the portions were very generous - many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding meal they had ever had. All dietary requirements were catered for during the main meal and during the reception/evening food also.
Catherine herself was brilliant to deal with. We know that she has so many weddings to coordinate, but she really does go above and beyond for every couple. She shared in our excitement about the prep, responded to all queries/comments promptly in the lead up and she was great to have around on the day itself. We could rest assured knowing that if any problem arose, Catherine would deal with it. She also made sure the function room looked just as I had envisioned!
We had a day after BBQ at the hotel and the organisation of this was so simple and the food was gorgeous again. The hotel organised music for that evening free of charge.
On top of all that, the location is stunning with many locations around the hotel and nearby for photos. We would definitely recommend the Lakeside :)

We recently got married in the Lakeside hotel Killaloe and I honestly do not know where to start! We were treated like royalty from the first day we went to view the venue. The pre wedding meal tasting was incredible, a night of sheer indulgence! Catherine went above and beyond on the wedding day, it was like she was able to be everywhere at all times! She was there when we needed absolutely anything. She even got candle wax off one our guests suit trousers!! She went above and beyond her call of duty, we were incredibly impressed. The staff at the lakeside are so skilled, they are experts when it comes to wedding yet they make your wedding so unique and special for you. I am so looking forward to going back to the hotel to celebrate anniversaries and meet the team again! They were so cool, calm and collected and helped us in every way possible which saved us so much, not only money but also stress! They made the entire day stress free, relaxed and lots of fun! Our guests are still raving about the food on the day, it was divine and everyone was stuffed which is always a great sign at a wedding! We are very thankful to Catherine and all the team at the Lakeside for a smooth, relaxed and fun filled day!

We had both our reception and Humanist ceremony at the hotel. From the moment we arrived at the hotel and for the following 4 days, we were treated like royalty. No one at our reception (as we travelled from Cork) had ever been at a wedding or stayed at Lakeside except for immediate family who have stayed here (and have now been back since). Every guest fell in love with the setting, the hotel, the food. The day/weekend was faultless and we are both so grateful to Catherine Lewis and all the staff for making our wedding so magical. We did not worry about one detail from the moment we booked our wedding as we knew we were in safe hands. I had many guests at the wedding who have worked in leisure around the world and all said the service/food etc was top class. We both feel so lucky to have chosen the Lakeside hotel as we could not have chosen a better venue. We were married outside in the garden which was extra special/beautiful. Catherine and the team made sure the reception room was spot on, it was just beautiful even without us buying any extra wedding bits, they did such a good job there was no need for us to add anything else. Many of our guests have been back to stay at the hotel and are looking to go back, that goes for us too, we cannot wait to head back. The Lakeside hotel will always be very special to both of us and our families. One of our guests turned to my husband the day of the wedding and said, I'd hate to be Pat(who is due to get married) having to follow this day, you could not beat a day/location like this. Since the wedding Pat has been back and looks like he will be having his wedding here also.
Our guests are still raving about the pre-drinks reception and food, the meal and the evening food. You certainly won't find a better venue than the Lakeside. My only wish is that we lived closer to Killaloe as this is one of the best settings/venues you will find.

I married my soul mate, Johnny O'Loughlin, on the 30th June 2018. I would like to thank Catherine Lewis and all the staff of the Lakeside Hotel who helped make it the most fantastic and special day for us. The function room looked amazing. The food was great. Catherine went above and beyond to make the day so special. I would highly recommend the Lakeside Hotel for all occasions

Catherine and the team at the Lakeside team were simply super. Nothing was a problem when we asked before the day.

We will remember our wedding day forever. Catherine and her team ensured everything went smoothly. The food on the day was superb.

The feedback about the hotel which we have received from our guests since our wedding has been hugely positive.

We had an absolutely perfect day in the Lakeside. I would highly recommend them for both value for money and the service you get while there for your wedding is second to none. All the staff knew who we were and nothing was an issue the whole weekend. Friends and family gave us nothing but positive feedback about the hotel, stating that it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere that felt more like home than a hotel which is exactly what we wanted. Catherine is as good of a wedding coordinator as you could hope for - nothing was ever a big issue and she had plenty of ideas to give towards the wedding. Couldn't recommend the place higher!

From the first day we stepped foot inside the hotel and met the staff everything was professional. Our wedding day was everything we could have asked for and more. Catherine was phenomenal at making our day special. Everyone that attended said they were blown away by the hotel and staff. The food was unbelievable too. We were over the moon with The Lakeside Hotel

The lakeside is a beautiful hotel, lovely setting. Food was amazing. Catherine our wedding coordinator couldn't have been any more helpful. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Cant recommend this hotel enough. Very impressed.

Catherine and staff at the Lakeside made our wedding perfect from initial planning stage to the wedding day. Everything was done with such professionalism and responsiveness we had the most stress free wedding, which says a lot since we were planning from abroad. We have heard nothing but rave reviews from family and friends about the food and service.

Catherine's knowledge and experience is unbound. She worked with us to accommodate all our requests and had a number of referrals. The day was run with perfection and we were able to sit back and enjoy

Thanks to Catherine and The Lakeside for the most magical day ever.

Hi, we had a fantastic wedding reception in the lakeside hotel! Everything from the lovely staff, excellent service and wonderful food made the day so perfect. Our guests were so happy with everything. We would highly recommend Catherine and the lakeside hotel to other engaged couples. You won't be disappointed!!

We had our wedding in the Lakeside hotel! Every single thing from start to finish was amazing! Catherine the wedding coordinator was the best from start to finish. She was like working with a friend she eased any nerves or anxieties before the day and on our wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly! The venue is beautiful, garden's fab for pictures! The function room is lovely and the rooms were lovely for guests. This is and will be our favourite place to come and stay in! We had our first year anniversary dinner and stay and we felt just as special as we did for our wedding with surprise champagne and happy anniversary dessert platter for our meal, we love the lakeside and it will be forever our special place to go to!

Tommy & I got married on the 22nd July 2017 and had our reception in The Lakeside Hotel, Killaloe. Catherine Lewis, the wedding co-ordinator is just absolutely fantastic at her job - We cannot put into words how grateful we are to herself and all of the team at The Lakeside. Catherine, Eoin, Ashlynn, Jen - They are all incredible people and they all make the place what it is - the personal touch and how all of the staff just want to go out of their way to help in anyway they can is what makes this venue so special. They all made everything so stress-free and nothing was too much trouble. We are so delighted we chose it as our venue - We got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing and friendly and helpful all of the staff were, how homely and welcoming the place is, how nothing was too much trouble - Everyone really goes out of their way to assist you in anyway they can. The Lakeside is very well known for their food and my god it is just amazing, even the fussiest of eaters wont be able to complain - All of their dishes are first class and there is so much of everything and everything just tastes so delicious. For anyone looking to choose their venue, The Lakeside won't leave you disappointed - Being from East Clare it was so lovely to have the wedding close to home and show all of our guests what a beautiful part of the world it really is. We have lived in Perth for the last 6 years and it was so lovely to be back on home soil and to show everyone where I call home - We had guests who travelled from all over the world and they all loved the place. It really is such a stunning part of the country - It has everything you could ask for, the most picturesque setting imaginable on Lough Derg, beautiful gardens, great food, wonderful staff, lovely accomodation, great leisure facilities and so much to do if you want to go for a wander down around the village and explore...10/10 from start to finish. Our wedding day was just a dream, they have their own jetty as well and we arrived into our reception by boat which was just brilliant. Day 2 was just fantastic as well - The team put on a fantastic BBQ for us all and we had a lovely trad session looking out over the lake, it was just the bestest weekend from start to finish and I'm sad it's all over. Can't wait to visit again on our next trip home from Perth - Just top class as a wedding venue and we cannot rate it highly enough.

We had our wedding at the Lakeside Hotel in June this year. We cannot praise the hotel and staff highly enough, especially Catherine Lewis and Ashlynn Moloney. From the day we booked our wedding, over two years ago, the level of professionalism and service has been impeccable.
We had our wedding ceremony in the picturesque gardens over looking the lake. On our big day, Catherine and Ashlynns attention to detail had surpassed our expectations.
The food was delicious! We have often eaten at the Lakeside Hotel and every time we enjoy it more than the last.
Our guests are still talking about how exceptional the entire day was from start to finish.

We had our reception in the Lakeside 2 weeks ago and they couldn't have done more for us. The food was top class, all the guests complimented it. Catherine couldn't have done anymore for us and she was always on the phone if we needed her. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. And the location is fab. Thank you all for making our day so special.

The staf of Lakeside were amazing and as for Catherine Lewis she played a bite part in our wedding nothing was to much trouble she went over and above with any thing I ask her to do
She was a star

What a location! We had our wedding there last Saturday and we had the most incredible weekend. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us all weekend. Nothing was too much to ask! Catherine in particular was just fantastic to work with. She is a superb wedding coordinator and she ensured everything we asked for was done! The food was gorgeous and so many guests commented on this. We cannot thank everyone at the Lakeside enough for the best weekend xxxx

My parents got married in The Lakeside Hotel on the 17/02/17. No words can explain how amazing it was. Not only was the venue amazing, the staff would go above and beyond, the food was out of this world and the location was just perfect.

My wife and I visited this beautiful hotel several times over the year and a half and it was so very reassuring to see Catherine Lewis the wedding Co-Ordinator deal with my bride Michelle on all aspects of our wedding. She was excellent in every way and I am so delighted we chose this venue. William in the bar was exceptionally accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Nothing was ever too much trouble for any member of staff. Ashlynn is dedicated to her role as is Thomas committed and energetic in ensuring all needs are met. I cant possibly speak any higher. Michelle had a long list of things she wanted to do and Catherine and her team 100% delivered. We were happy and even people who didnt attend the wedding approached us afterwards saying they heard how fabulous it was.

We live in Queensland, Australia and opted for a small intimate family destination wedding in Ireland and were first drawn to the Lakeside for it's incredible setting, and also due to their great reputation and value for money.

We found the Lakeside Hotel to be an incredible wedding venue and one that all our guests loved. We organised our wedding from overseas and found the wedding coordinator, Catherine Lewis, to be phenomenal and extremely accommodating. We also found the staff in general to be highly professional and extremely helpful, especially as a number of our guests were from overseas and didn't speak English.

We had a humanist ceremony in the hotel itself, and the Lakeside helped to make the ballroom look awesome! This goes for the reception also: the room looked great, very atmospheric. The food was incredible, not only was it high quality but the portions were also very generous. This was a common consensus amongst all our guests.

The bridal suite is gorgeous with incredible views and the room has great vibes! Was a perfect place to get ready the morning of the wedding. Our guests stayed at the hotel anything from 1-6 nights and were happy with the accommodation side of things.

Our whole day was perfect, everything we hoped it would be and more! Would recommend having your wedding at the Lakeside in a heartbeat!

We had the most amazing day at the Lakeside Hotel. The management and staff are absolutely fantastic. The food was just out of this world. Everyone who attended our wedding spoke about how good the beef was for weeks after. Catherine was just fabulous. She was a fantastic support throughout. She told me from day one I would have nothing to worry about and by god she was 100% right. No request was too stupid or silly. Sinead who looks after the accommodation is such a lovely person also. She was brilliant and so ?accommodating? with all my changes to rooming lists etc. Everybody commented on how well presented the team are coming out and how professional they are throughout the meal service. Beautiful to watch from the top table when you are taking a brief moment to take it all in ? you don't get too many of them. No sign of waiters and waitresses wandering around a room with plates trying to figure out who is Beef or Hake. Each team came out with the manager, all to the one table and laid down the plates. I can't remember the F&B's manager name but she was fantastic organising the tables on the day. She also kept my top table in check for me ?
What I really liked about this hotel was the atmosphere and the warmness. It's a real family feel to it. The General Manager Eoin was also lovely and very supportive. Nothing is a problem at this hotel. To any bride and groom trying to choose a hotel I would highly recommend the Lakeside.

Amazing venue. Catherine and all the staff went above and beyond with the service that they provided. We are delighted that we chose the lakeside for our wedding.

We were extremely happy with the Lakeside Hotel for our wedding day in August 2016. The quality of service from Catherine and all the staff was brilliant. The food was fantastic and received a lot of compliments from the guests. As for the setting it was just perfect overlooking the water.

Got married in the Lakeside a few weeks ago and we couldn't have made a better decision. Excellent venue with professional and helpful staff. Wedding Co-ordinator Catherine is outstanding. Food was spot on. We had an amazing day.

I could not fault the lakeside one bit. The staff were so professional , the food was amazing and the overall atmosphere in the hotel was so welcoming and relaxing! I thought Sinead and Catherine were a pleasure to deal with. I have received so many compliments about the good and service since. I would highly recommend this hotel

Guests still talk about the service and the food months after which is testament enough. They were helpful throughout the whole planning process and on the day were brilliant. On the day an Uncle asked for a starter that was not on the menu and it was provided no questions asked. A booking was made the day after based on reviews from the guests to their friends.

We had our wedding in the Lakeside Hotel in July this year. Everything from start to finish of the planning process was made easy for us & all the staff were professional, courteous and friendly. The day went off without a hitch (Despite the rain) and I could not thank the Lakeside Staff -particularly Catherine, Sin?ad & Ashlynn enough for all the help which they gave us & for making the day special for us both.

The staff at lakeside were extremely approachable. They are all very friendly. Everything was spot on the day of the wedding . All our guests were very impressed with the meal. We loved it. Only negative is that we cant do it all again! Thanks a million !

I couldn't recommend the lakeside hotel more! Had an amazing day. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Catherine the wedding planner is brilliant. We also had our ceromey in the hotel and the location for a ceromey is great with lovely views as the guests arrive.The feedback from my guest's was all good. The food was delicious! Sinead at the front desk and in charge of the accommodation was very helpful and friendly.

The lakeside was absolutely fantastic in all aspects of our wedding, all the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive to all of our needs. The hotel was flawless on our big day and I wouldn't change one thing. They went out of their way to do everything single little thing we requested. Amazing staff, amazing venue.

The Lakeside Hotel is a perfect venue for any wedding. The day that we got married was the only wet day in May 2016, the staff could not do enough for us and our guests. The food was amazing with a number of our guests commenting that it was the nicest food that they have had at a wedding and there certainly was plenty of it. I must say a special Thank you to Catherine Lewis in particular who looked after everything on the day and on the run up to it. Her attention to detail is phenomenal she looks after everything, really genuine person who takes pride in their work. I would not hesitate to recommend the Lakeside Hotel for their personal attention and Value for money. We also had a family lunch at the hotel the next day and were given a private seating area which was a really nice touch. Thank you to everyone at the Lakeside for making our wedding the special day that it was, despite the rain!

I thought planning my wedding in Limerick Ireland was going to be hard as I live in Boston MA..Was I wrong...From the moment I met Courtney/Catherine, Sinead and staff my worries disappeared. I have always loved the Lakeside since I am from Limerick however when Mark saw the hotel and grounds he fell in love with the place. Everything we ask for we got.Mark had ask thing fro the hotel and that was to have the American flag outside the hotel and he got it.From the first day we went there to see the hotel in 2014 untill our wedding day April 2016 someone was there to answer my questions on phone or email since I was 4000 miles away. Some of our guest who travel from American stayed in the hotel have nothing but good things to say about how helpful the staff were.We spend the whole weekend at the hotel.Our wedding was the Saturday and on Sunday we had a BBQ..On our wedding day everything was perfect.the food was to die for and the staff were amazing.We have nothing bad to say...We cant wait to go back there fro a overnight visit when we come home to Limerick...Wishing everyone there all the best..

We had our Wedding in the Lakeside in April 2016 and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Catherine helped us with all our planning and looked after us on the day. The weather was poor but we still got some lovely photos on the grounds of the hotel by the lake. We had eaten here previously and the food was excellent. The food and drink on arrival on our wedding day went down very well and the function room looked stunning. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, we can't praise them highly enough. The main meal was even better than our previous tasting and the dance floor was the perfect size for our party (~130 guests plus stage and photobooth). The Bridal suit was spotless and well positioned...the breakfast the next morning was a nice extra. We look forward to going back again!

We would highly recommend the lakeside as a wedding venue. Catherine and the staff were so friendly and helpful, they took away any stress. Guests kept telling us how lovely the food and venue was! It was excellent value for money and we were delighted with the service we received!

I can't speak highly enough of the Lakeside Hotel and the service that was provided to us in the run up to, and on the day of our wedding. The staff at the Hotel were so helpful and made it so easy to plan a wedding when we live 4 hours from the venue. From the reception staff to the event managers they were always friendly, courteous and willing to help with anything.
The day of the wedding went so smoothly with no issues or problems. The grounds of the Hotel are absolutely beautiful and perfect for pictures.
Everyone I spoke to at the wedding commented that the food was the best they have had at a wedding and the service was next to none. If we could do it all over again, there would be nothing I would change about the venue or the service provided to us. Top class!

We are very glad we picked the lakeside to be the venue for our wedding. From day one when we meet Courtney they made you feel very special, they were very willing to accommodate packages to suit your needs. On the week of the wedding no question was too much or too late to ask. If they were under pressure they never let us feel it. all our guest were more than happy with the food, their accommodation and the over all setting . They took any pressure out of our hands. One of the only thing we would have liked differently would be to have the evening food served later or if this was not possible due to staffing to may have left the food out so guest could have it later as there was not enough time given, as guest were still full from the great dinner!!!

We got married in The Lakeside Hotel on Saturday 24th October. From the word go we were welcomed by the wonderful staff.
Courtney, Catherine, Sinead & Ashlynn were absolutely amazing and so helpful and reassuring. Every request was granted without hesitation. They were enthusiastic, warm and friendly on each encounter.
They were genuinely interested in making the day perfect for us.
The food was fantastic and the waiting staff were very professional and friendly. The guestrooms are very tastefully decorated.
So many people complimented the venue, food, rooms and staff.
I cannot recommend The Lakeside highly enough. Everything was absolutely perfect and fit for a King ;)

I do not have anything but positive things to say about the Lakeside Hotel. It is a wonderful venue, with amazing views. All the staff were friendly, professional and approachable from start to finish. All the food produced throughout the day was fabulous, everybody we meet is complementing the meal. Catherine and her team did a wonderful job. We are so happy we went with the Lakeside Hotel.

We would highly recommend the Lakeside as a venue for a wedding. The setting is just out of this world, the staff are great - from the management team to the bar staff and the housekeeping an, the standard of food was really high

The lakeside hotel has been amazing and the most helpful from the moment of enquiring about booking our wedding. They made our day so special by their attention to detail. They accommodated our every request from the little touches to our entrance by lady viv boat, to our maginificent firework display. The list is endless. The food was amazing. All our guests are still saying how brilliant the day was. The staff are so welcoming and made us feel like we were the only wedding.

We had our civil ceremony in the lakeside hotel and it went so well.
We only booked the wedding 4 months prior and the hotel were on hand to help us with everything. Sinead in reservations and Catherine were fantastic and made everything run smoothly

We had our wedding in the lakeside recently and honestly could not fault the service coming up to the day and on the day itself.The decor was beautiful and our guests are still raving about the food. Would recommend it highly for anybody's wedding.

We really can't say enough about the Lakeside and its wonderful staff, service and food for our big day. Special thanks to Sin?ad , Courtney , Paul , Aisling and Eoin for their help coming up to , during and after our wedding. You can spend the best day of your lives knowing you need not worry about a thing when you are in the good hands of those at The Lakeside. Thanks again for everything.

Courtney looked after us so well, you couldn't fault anything you have a beautiful room done up beautifully. Everything is timed, so you day goes perfectly. Guests loved the food and haven't had good food like that in any other hotel. Venue beautiful next to the lakeside and boats. I would grade this 10/10.
All staff friendly and they call you by your name which makes it extra special. I am so please how my day went and all guests were so happy as well.

We are so happy that we chose The Lakeside for our wedding. It is a fantastic location and so accommodating. Courtney and the team did an amazing job and everyone commented on the high standard of food and service. The staff were brilliant and everything ran very smoothly. Great hotel and lots of our friends said they would be returning for a short break with their families.

Food is fantastic. Wait staff very friendly and efficient.
Beautiful setting.
Would recommend the Spririt of Killaloe as a next day activity, access from the jetty at hotel is great.

We would really recommend the Lakeside hotel, they were extremely helpful and easy to deal with. We found all of the staff very friendly and accommodating.

We were delighted to have our wedding at The Lakeside Hotel. They hotel itself, staff and management are all a very high standard. The management team are wonderful and very accommodating. They were very helpful in our requests and we would highly recommend the venue.

The team at lakeside hotel were excellent to deal with while organising our wedding. We had a fabulous day & the service & food at our reception were both outstanding.

Everything about the lakeside was amazing. We loved or wedding and it wouldn't have been as good or flowed so well without the great staff in the lakeside. Food is to die for! Location is absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend the lakesise!

Beautiful setting, we got some amazing photos.
Our guests were all very complimentary of the food and the service. There was no delay in tables being served.
One thing I really loved is because of the way the room is laid out even though we had a rather large wedding it felt so intimate and extremely comfortable.
The hotel were so observant, some people arrived that were not guests and they were all over it and asked them to leave after checking they were unknown to us.
There isn't a single thing that they could have done for us to make it any better. From the day we first walked in for a viewing to returning on our 1st anniversary we felt like we were their biggest priority.

The entire staff at The Lakeside Hotel couldn't do enough for us to make ,not only our wedding day, but the planning of our wedding a wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend it as a venue with beautiful grounds excellent food and accommodation and ,in particular, exceptional staff. We're heading back there for my parents wedding anniversary! We love love The Lakeside!!

We had a such a wonderful day at The Lakeside Hotel last year on our wedding day.. All The staff are all a credit to the hotel & local area .So professional & helpful. Beautiful gardens , beautiful meal 5 stars all the way. A prefect place to create memories for life.

My husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception in The Lakeside Hotel. From our very first meeting with Courtney and other staff members, to our last everything was completely professional. Our every request was catered for and the standard of food and service on the day of our wedding was impeccable. The gardens of The Lakeside Hotel were in tip top condition and we got some amazing photos. I would highly recommend The Lakeside Hotel to any couple considering it for their wedding reception.

Great venue. Staff were so helpful and attentive. Couldn't have asked for more. Everything from the initial consultation to the event the day after the wedding was executed perfectly. Couldn't fault the Lakeside in any way.

Everything was great. One thing I think everyone remembers is the meal and this was exceptional..gorgeous food and plenty of it!! Hotel staff were great to deal with.

To Eoin and all the staff at the Lakeside, a massive thank you for giving us the best day of our lives! From the first point of contact (hi Sinead!) I had a good feeling about the Lakeside - you all made everything so stress-free for us. The staff were wonderful on the day and couldn't have been more attentive. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments from our guests. Please pass on our thanks to the chef and his staff. We?re looking forward to coming back for a visit really soon.
