Lord Bagenal Inn

We booked our wedding with Sue and the team in the Lord Bagenal in Jan 2024 for our December wedding. From our first meeting, Sue was professional, flexible, and made all our requests come true. We opted for our ceremony and reception in the one venue which leant itself to being a very laid back and lively event. The staff catered to over 200 guests and the food was fantastic. On the day both Sue and Niall were on hand to answer any further requests and all the staff were so friendly and ensured our day went perfectly. We stayed for two nights in order to truly enjoy the celebrations and we have been inundated from friends and family with compliments for the hotel. We are so grateful to all staff and management in the Lord Bagenal and we would have no problem recommending the hotel to any future engaged couples.

The Lord Bagenal was a fantastic location for our wedding, especially with the beautiful Christmas decorations up all throughout the hotel. Our wedding coordinator Sue was excellent to deal with throughout the whole process, and the package we decided on was brilliant value for money too. Would highly recommend this hotel for a wedding.

We had our wedding in the Lord Bagenal on New Year's Eve 2023. From our first meeting with Sue we knew straight away it was the hotel we wanted. We had 250 guest and ever single dinner was delicious. Hot and served by very friendly staff. The bar staff were also very efficient. The rooms in the hotel were spacious and decorated to high quality.
All the little details on the day were taking care of by Niall and we felt very comfortable and at ease that everything and everyone was taking care of. I can highly recommend the Lord Bagenal for your wedding day. Thank you to all the reception, bar and waiting staff for making our day so special.

We originally booked our wedding with the Lord Bagenal Hotel for 4/7/2020. From our first meeting with Sue at one of the hotels wedding fairs we knew that we would really be taken care of and that we had made the right decision.
Unfortunately, due to covid - we made the decision to postpone our wedding to the following year. 2021 came around which saw the birth of our second child, and so we reached out to the hotel to ask if we could postpone once again. Sue was so supportive and flexible, after a couple more date changes we finally decided on 22/7/23.
Due to a family bereavement, we once more had to postpone our wedding 5 days before the date, I phoned Sue to advise her and once again she was so good and professional. She told us not to worry that they would take care of everything. Herself and the team were so very sympathetic and caring and we couldn't thank them more for this. I expect not all venues would be as understanding.
We eventually rescheduled our date to 1/12/23, and we have to say the day could not have gone smoother. Sue even greeted us on the steps as we arrived even though it was her day off. Niall was an absolute superstar, nothing seemed to phase him. So approachable and friendly, and the banquet staff and bar staff were also wonderful.
I would recommend the Lord Bagenal to anyone considering it as a wedding venue. They made us feel like family, and it was such a comfort getting to know everyone so well over the years. We wouldn't change one thing about the day, thank you once more to the Hotel and amazing staff. We will never forget your kindness.
We weren't the most straightforward of wedding clients, but nothing ever seemed like a problem. Our decor florist let us down that week, and Sue was once again so comforting as she organised flowers for us on the day on very short notice.
We are truly so grateful.

We are so delighted we had our wedding in the Lord Bagenal which is situated on a beautiful setting by the banks of the River Barrow. The professionalism, kindness and attention to detail of Sue, Niall and all the team was top notch and we couldn't have been happier with how everything went. We particularly loved the spacious sit-down area on arrival for our guests and also the option to sit outside by the hotel's riverside area which on the day gave a Mediterranean feel. Our guests are also still commenting on how good the food was from start to finish. We would highly recommend other couples to choose the Lord Bagenal for their wedding!

From the first meeting with Sue everything was perfect. We weren't sure what we wanted but she was so helpful, organised, and accommodating and took all the stress off. The communication leading up was great and the day of couldn't have been any easier. The food was amazing and all the staff on the day were incredible. I would highly recommend anyone work with the Bagenal for their wedding.

Sue, Niall and all the team in the Lord Bagenal host numerous weddings weekly but they made us feel like we were the most important wedding they've ever done.
It was such a special day, and we were looked after so well, the day ran so smoothly with not a single glitch.
Sue also made the run up to our big day so relaxed and no matter what we asked, she delivered. We will be forever grateful.

We have recently had our big day in Lord Bagenal Inn & words cannot describe the level of professionalism from every single member of staff. We ourselves had a few hiccups along the way & could not have had the most amazing day without Sue & all the team helping us. Our guests are still talking about it!
I would highly recommend having your special day here. There's one thing for sure, you will not be disappointed! If we could do it all over again we would.

We are so happy that we chose the Lord Bagenal for our big day. The staff are brilliant and everything ran so smoothly on the day. Sue was wonderful in the planning stages, very professional and helpful and always very quick to respond to any queries. We had to reschedule due to covid but it was hassle free with the Lord Bagenal.

On the day Niall was brilliant and made sure that everything went to plan. The food was amazing and our guests were thrilled with second helpings of everything. The room and reception area is beautifully decorated with fresh flowers.

Absolutely fantastic wedding venue, we couldn't have asked for more.

We recently got married in The Lord Bagenal Inn and couldn't recommend it highly enough. James, Sue and Niall are so easy to deal with and not one of our many requests were an issue. We truly enjoyed our day, from the amazing drinks reception, the beautiful hotel and the outstanding food, it was all just way above our expectations. The hotel went above and beyond, nothing was too much hassle for them especially Niall who was very helpful and ensured our whole day ran smoothly. We just wish we could do it all again. Thanks again to the whole team in the Lord Bagenal.

A brilliant day had by all, thanks in large part to the staff at the hotel who couldn't do enough for us. From the moment we chose The Lord Bagenal to be our wedding venue, to the following day when we left to start the journey as husband and wife, the service has been exceptional. We are really appreciative of Sue's help & guidance planning the big day and Niall's efforts on the day making sure everything went to plan & our guests were well looked after. We highly recommend The Lord Bagenal as a wedding venue.

From the day we booked our wedding with Niall the Lord Bagenal was so accommodating. Sue went out of her depth to assist us with our many questions. She was so professional and helpful. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Food was amazing, our guests still speak about it. We had the most magical intimate wedding ceremony and reception. The grounds of the hotel were truly amazing for the pictures and we had the most beautiful amd magical day.

We had our wedding here last weekend and I couldn't recommend the lord Bagenal enough. Sue, Niall and all the staff were excellent from start to finish. The hotel was decorated beautifully and food was amazing. Rooms were lovely, garden and boardwalk area are ideal for pics.
Highly recommend

From the day we booked our big day Sue, Niall and all the staff were welcoming and friendly to the highest standard. We couldn't have asked for more and on the day both myself and my wife were made feel so relaxed and at ease. Our day was as good as it was because of the Lord Bagenal Hotel. Lee & Jenny

Myself and Mikey had our beautiful wedding in the Lord Bagenal on 18th October 2019. We could not recommend the Lord Bagenal enough. It truly was the best day ever. Sue is amazing at her job and nothing was too much hassle for her. Sue is extremely professional and would always get back to you immediately. The food was amazing, every plate was empty! Gluten free options were amazing and well catered for. The service was top notch, the staff really went out of their way for everyone. The room was kitted out beautifully and the drinks reception was fantastic. I would love to do it all over again!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here in October 2019. The hotel is beautiful the staff are amazing and the food excellent.
From planning the wedding with Sue to booking the rooms with Michael and the day itself with Niall, everything was coordinated to perfection and ran flawlessly. All of those mentioned and all other staff we dealt with were extremely professional and helpful, they really are lovely people and made our day perfect. We would highly highly recommend The Lord Bagenal Inn for any wedding, the team are absolutely fantastic and when they say ?your wedding your way? they really mean it.

Thank you all so so much.

Helena and Peter Shaw

We would highly highly recommend this venue to any wedding couple. The management and staff were flawless from beginning to end. They were all so helpful, friendly, attentive and catered to our every need with ease. A special thank you should be given to the wedding planner Sue Baldwin who was second to none. Nothing was too big or too small to ask. General manager Niall and Connie made are day also. Fabulous staff and terrific venue.

One week married today and what an experience it has been! Our wedding day truly was the best day of our lives and our experience with the Lord Bagenal made it all fall into place so easily.
From the moment we spoke to Sue to checking out of the hotel after our day 2 celebrations, we were treated as if we were the only couple on their minds. Any request from us, the bridal party or wedding guests was fulfilled with no problem. Everyone has commented on the standard of food and how excellent it was.

A special thanks to Sue, Niall, Connie and James who are just amazing and made our day one to remember!

John and Tanya

Organising a wedding is a stressful experience but when it came to our venue, we never felt stressed in the slightest. We could feel from day one when we met Sue that she had every detail planned meticulously throughout the whole process. Nothing was ever too much trouble or out of reach.
Connie, who is an absolute diamond, made sure we had everything for the meal and room just as we wanted it, and my god did she deliver. She made the tasting such a lovely experience.
Mary, who just might be the sweetest lady we ever met looked after the head table and service on the day and she is also a gem.
From the time Darren's family arrived from
Dublin on Friday, Niall was literally an extra member of the bridal party. It was like the wedding started a day early as he treated them all like VIPs and made sure everyone was looked after. From the big things like helping set up the room the way we wanted, the timing of the day itself as we were too busy talking and taking photos, he had everything on point but it was even the little things he did like putting our music for entering the room on a usb when ours didn't work, like helping the groomsmen put on their buttonholes before they left for the church, or like making sure the bride got a proper drink and even getting the mother of the bride a latte at the afters because she was just dying for one. He was an absolute gentleman to us, nothing was too much for him and that was the theme with the lord bagenal from day one from all of the staff.
It was the best day of our lives and all because we were able to have whatever we wanted but never at a massive cost.
It was our wedding, and we did it our way. Just like they promised it would be

Amazing hotel, food was fabulous and everyone was so helpful and flexible, particularly wedding planner Sue, hotel manager Niall and proprietor James. can't thank or praise the lord bagnel enough, we would highly recommend

Was delighted with the lord bagnal such good value for what we got was glad we didn't go to a very posh Venue the lord bagnal gave us every thing and we are not paying of a massive bill it gave us a amazing day and we put a lot of research into our band Vegas nights tropical storm and dj in residents bar

In the lead up to our wedding we dealt with Sue and she went through everything in detail but it didn't take too much time to do this. She makes it sound so easy and she is obviously really well experienced at managing weddings. Indeed brides are advised by online forums to check x,y and z with the hotel, there was nothing to bring to the hotels attention.

On the day the hotel looked fab, the atmosphere was lively, the staff were fast, accurate and very welcoming. There was flowers everywhere, as my family arrived first with baskets and bits, these were taken from them at the front door. Guests and family all remarked how lovely and spacious the hotel bedrooms were. Guests loved the food and with Sues help we were delighted with the menu they created for us. There really was no worries or concerns with the lord bagenal.

Niall on the day fully took on the event and ushered us and reminded us of all the parts to include-other wise we would have stayed chatting to guests all day and forgot to do the customs-wedding cake etc. Niall was a gem on the day and always on hand to make sure we were happy, comfortable etc.

The residents bar was really welcoming and the Lord Bagenal really came across as welcoming, generous with their time, accurate to the details so a huge thank you. We really feel like we got great value for money also. Thanks again to all the hard work and your great service.

We had our Wedding at The Lord Bagenal Hotel December '18. I cannot recommend this hotel and the amazing staff enough! The service we got on our big day was exceptional.. We want to personally thank Sue and Niall for looking after us so well. We have highly recommended the hotel to friends and will continue to do so in the future. We look back on our Wedding with the happiest memories.. Thank you so much for everything! ?

My wife and I chose the Lord Bagenal Inn as our wedding location for a number of reasons. Firstly, I have been visiting since I was a child and it is one of my family's favourite places to go for dinner in the area. Secondly, their prices and menu were excellent and fitted perfectly into our budget especially with all of the complimentary extras like flowers, center pieces and family suites that they provide. Finally, I have been to family weddings there in the past and enjoyed every second of the care and attention given to the guests not to mention the couples. Both sets of couples also highly recommended the venue. Needless to say, it certainly didn't disappoint!

Our guests could not find a fault with the food. The amount of people that commented on the quality (and quantity) of the food let's you know the delicious meal we received. My dad and fellow bride were also delighted with the wine choices and really enjoyed choosing the wines for the evening. Every member of staff we encountered from Sue the wedding planner to Neill who took care of us on the day, the ladies on the front desk and the security guards that let the foreigners use their mobile numbers as a contact number for the taxi's at night, took care of us to the highest level.

The venue is beautifully laid out and convenient even for people that are not as mobile as others and again, the staff were there to assist any guests that required it. Close by there are many beautiful locations available for your photos - around the actually hotel, down by the bridge and river or at Garrison House close by. Our wedding album is made even more picturesque because of the hotel.

The only thing that made our day better that I could have expected was breakfast the next morning. This is a wonderful wedding location and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Sue, Niall and all the staff were so friendly and professional in the run up , on the day and after our wedding. They put us at ease from the word go, They catered for our 3 children& nothing was to much hassle! The food was amazing and all our guests raved about it and the quantity of it. The Lord Bagenal also provided a fab back drop to our photos out on the marina! We couldn't recommend the Lord Bagenal highly enough and we wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day!

The staff at The Lord Bagenal were amazing from start to finish. Sue was so helpful and so informative. Always on d other end of d phone to help us. The staff on d day of our wedding could not have done a better job, happy friendly and so helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel

We organised our wedding from Australia. Sue and all of the hotel staff could not have been more helpful, understanding and accommodating. We had the most wonderful day the hotel looked amazing. We got so many compliments on the food. And how helpful all the staff were. We couldn't recommend this venue and their staff highly enough!

Everyone commented on how nice the food was! The staff were very friendly and Sue was amazing! Cant reccomend it enough

I don't know where to start. The wedding coordinator Sue was available to us at the end of the phone or email for the full lead up from booking to the wedding day. The front desk staff the same. The chef allowed us to creat our own menu including items not on the menu. The food was supreme. Everyone was happy with the taste the quantity and the quality of food. The rooms are fantastic and the price was so reasonable and if I dare say cheap. On the day everything was perfect. The details covered for us were just excellent. The staff could not be any more friendly, willing to please and so professional and so helpful to everyone. Not just us bride and groom but every single guest we had. Highly recommend them for any occasion.

We chose the Lord Bagenal over some other hotels that had better priced packages because it offers more character than many other hotels in the locality.
We had both the ceremony and the reception at the hotel, they had the Marina Room set up beautifully for both events.
Sue was very helpful in organising the whole day and on the day itself Niall was tremendously attentive to both ourselves and our guests.
Each and everyone of our guests were genuinely impressed with the meal and the venue. Some even regarded it as one of the best wedding meals they had. The quality was top notch.

There is a reason the Lord Bagenal constantly wins Best Wedding Venue awards.

Sue and the team were amazing couldn't be more helpful and the rooms and service and food was perfect.

We had an amazing wedding day thanks to Sue, Niall, Mike and all of the staff at the Lord Bagenal. They couldn't have been more accommodating and the planning was a breeze thanks to their expertise. All of our guests commented on the quality of the food, great service and how well the hotel looked. The rooms were lovely too. The day from start to finish was relaxed and stress free. Best day ever!
Carol & Debbie

Great value, great food and lovely staff. Not a single complaint from any of our nearly 200 guests. Bedrooms are a high standard also. The village is so relaxing and it was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin for a few days. I'm from Dublin and with the good times back I found hotels are back to ripping people off. Not here though...

We had a tailored wedding, from food and fine weather.... everyone is still talking about the fantastic setting of the Lord Baganel hotel, river side setting amazing service friendly staff and food to feed a king. Would have no problem advising a couple to book this facility for an amazing day which will be stress free... from James to Sue and all the staff they get everything right.

Absolutely loved the day from start to finish, all staff were amazing, extremely helpful and attentive. The food was amazing, I cannot thank Sue and James for such a great day, it is a credit to all the staff that helped and a special mention to Michael at reception was so genuinely lovely and was chatting away to all the guests.. beautiful place to get married.

Such an amazing day, they accommodated all our needs, and Sue is brilliant, she arranged our wedding reception whilst we were in England. Food was excellent could not fault it. Service was brilliant. We had such a great day.

I could not praise The Lord Bagenal enough from the minute we booked it they were great Sue was so helpful with every detail and the staff were amazing on the day they couldn't do enough for us .My father is disabled so that was a big factor when we were booking our hotel and we are so glad with our choice as there was no issues with Dad on the day the staff and owner James was great with all their help .

The Lord Bagenal is an absolutely fantastic wedding venue.We are over the moon with the treatment we and our 290 guests received here.No stone was left unturned.Every little detail was perfect.The food was delicious and hot. Our guests are still raving about it.People also commented on how nice all of the staff were.James the manager/owner and Sue the wedding planner were especially great to deal with.They really made us feel so important, like we were the only wedding ever to take place there even though they have weddings every week!
There is lovely natural light coming into the ballroom during dinner.The dance floor is beside the bar.The lobby is fab for drinks reception and there is an outdoor deck to sit at the river if the weather cooperates!We also hosted a bbq the day after the wedding and this too was lovely.It is also worth mentioning that the staff in the residents bar are very accommodating.Choosing this hotel was the best decision we could ever have made for our wedding!

Fantastic Venue for our wedding. The staff were so helpful and friendly. They catered to all our needs and really made us feel special. The food was amazing and everyone had a great time. The hotel is beautiful and of a very high standard.

I definitely recommend the Lord Bagenal as a top wedding venue. Thanks especially to James and Sue for going above and beyond in making our day so special.

Thank you sue James Michael and all the other staff for making our and all our guest day a very special day.. every thing was PERFECT..good was fantastic staff were I helpful and very accommodating to everyone ..

We were very impressed with The Lord Bagenal from start to finish. The easy and relaxed atmosphere was everything we wanted. The staff were superb through out our entire experience and the food was fantastic. Our guests were also very happy with the service and friendly atmosphere.

I couldn't fault The Lord Bagenal in any way. Outstanding food and service from beginning to end. Sue was so accomodating, nothing was a problem, she came up with a range of solutions/options for any questions I had about how to work an aspect of the wedding. James was fantastic on the day, everything ran like clockwork.

From the first.day we walked into the lord bagenal day to enquire about our wedding Sue & her team were nothing but helpful. We were made to feel very comfortable & that anything we asked for was possible. Even though we had a small wedding we were made to feel as special as a couple that was having a large wedding. On the day itself james & the staff were outstanding. They made sure our guests & ourselves wanted for nothing & we were able to relax & enjoy our day.

Our wedding in The Lord Bagenal Hotel was everything we hoped it would be. The service was exceptional, people are still telling us how lovely their meal was and we couldn't have asked for any better from both Sue and James. They really accommodated us and listened to what we wanted for our big day. Everything was perfect and it was a gorgeous setting to start our married life together.

From start to finish Sue and her wonderful team stopped at nothing to give Lee and I the Day we had wished for, for so long. Our guests raved about the food and the friendliness of all the staff. The professionalism of Sue and her team allowed Lee an I to relax an celebrate our special day to the max!!

We had our wedding in the Lord bagenal May 2015 and have to say that both Sue and James were fantastic to work with. They catered for all our guests needs. Food on the day was amazing we still have people complimenting the food. The service on the day was excellent all the staff were so helpful. We had a sweet table on the day which the staff set up for us too and everything went smoothly on the day. I would most definitely recommend the Lord bagenal for their top class service.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable. We've been inundated with compliments from our guests praising your hotel, its charm, warmth & welcoming atmosphere (something the big chains just can't do). Everybody was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Thanks again for making our day so special.

We cannot thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts. We had the most wonderful & special day. It was everything we imagined. You both (James & Sue) made it all possible & along with your staff made it an absolute pleasure to organise. We had so many compliments about the service & food. You helped us to create memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you.

"We were treated like royalty throughout the day, the staff were unbelievable! They are a credit to a wonderful hotel. Throughout the planning process, Sue & James could not have been more helpful and really made us feel at home in the hotel, Family & friends have commented on the fantastic food, friendly staff and general warm atmosphere that the hotel has to offer. We were absolutely delighted with every aspect of our day. We were so thankful to every member of staff a particular mention to Mary & Connie who looked after the top table so well!! The Marina Room was decorated so nicely for us & we really felt special! Thank you!

Fab setting on a sunny day, our guests loved the decking by the river, so relaxed. Great food and plenty of it! Sue was always there to respond to all of my calls and emails quickly.

James and his team at the Lord Bagenal Hotel were absolutely fantastic! Their attention to detail is second to none. Their advice on every aspect of the day was invaluable. Everything went so smoothly. From the arrival drinks and canapés to the final person leaving the dance floor everyone was looked after in a very special way. The guests at our wedding still talk about the food, wine and atmosphere. We cannot recommend James and The Lord Bagenal highly enough. A unique venue with wonderful management and staff who really went above and beyond to ensure our day was extra special.
