If we could do the day all over again we would. The staff could not do enough for us. The day went off with out a hitch. The food was amazing, the staff were amazing and the decor was perfect. My bridesmaid and myself and family members all stayed in the hotel the night before and and got ready. The room that morning was perfect. Our family are still talking about the day and the how amazing the venue and staff were. Great value for money too. Particular mention to Jennifer, Adam and Ciara.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day. From start to finish, everything was just magical, and that's all thanks to Saoirse and her incredible team. Saoirse was an absolute gem—she was attentive, organized and always went the extra mile to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Her dedication and care made our day stress-free, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to be behind the scenes. A special mention has to go to Adam, who was a true superstar on the night. Although there was a storm and a power outage, the hotel went above and beyond to ensure our celebration continued without a hitch. They handled everything so well and made us feel completely at ease, even in the face of unexpected challenges. The hotel staff truly outdid themselves, and their efforts did not go unnoticed.
We cannot recommend the hotel and Saoirse enough. It was a day we will never forget, filled with the most incredible memories. Thank you, Saoirse and the entire team, for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.

Olivia helped us every step of the way and guided us throughout the process. Our day was seamless and the staff did amazing work behind the scenes. Arthur was so kind and helpful, he made us feel so at ease and he even got a special chair with side on it for our grandmother to sit on at the reception. I couldn’t recommend the hotel enough!

Can not fault the ocean sands at all. Service was absolutely top notch, food was amazing. They were extremely professional and from start to finish they didn’t cause us an ounce of stress. We had an indoor ceremony and just using what they supplied in decoration and flowers They really made an amazing job of it. We kept it simple and it was better than we ever imagined .

The Ocean sands is the hotel of dreams. The welcoming and joyous staff really put you at ease, especially Olivia, Arther, Adam and Michelin star chef Marcin.
We were blown away by the attention to detail on the wedding day and on the lead up.
The views of the ocean were exquisite from our reception room, the beautiful Atlantic room.
The food was 5 star Michelin.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the team at the ocean sands hotel.

Myself and my wife Mary got married in the Ocean Sands. The view speaks for itself but it is really the staff that make it such a special venue. When we were looking for a wedding venue what swayed us to pick the Ocean Sands was meeting with Olivia and walking around the hotel. All of the staff were so geniunely friendly and welcoming. The hotel always had a ring of laughter in the air. It was such a relaxing place that had a remarkable ability to have such high standards of professionalism without being overly rigid and formal. The Ocean Sands really made our wedding special and we cannot thank the staff enough! We will be planning to come back every year on our anniversary because of the lasting impression and beautiful memories the hotel staff created for us.

We were thrilled with our wedding day. We wouldn’t change a thing about it.
The Ocean Sands is such an intimate venue and lovely view of the beach from the function room.
Olivia was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely brilliant. We were blown away by her enthusiasm right from the first day we went to view the hotel. She was always available to us to answer any queries we had and nothing was too much trouble.
We had the ceremony in the function room also. Louise and bridesmaids stayed in one of the apartments the night before and got ready there the next morning while John and groomsmen were able to get ready in a separate room on the morning. Olivia, Arthur & Darragh were constantly there to attend to any needs we had all day long and were back and forth to our rooms as we got ready to offer any help and guidance needed and quite simply put us at ease.
Our guests all raved about the quality of the food, a lot saying the beef “melted in the mouth”.
The night finished off then in the residents bar where Stephen looked after us into the small hours.
The team work so well together and create such a relaxed environment and worked so well with all our wedding suppliers to make the day go by seamlessly.
We’d highly recommend the ocean sands for your wedding.

It has been a month since my husband and I got married in the Ocean Sands Hotel. I have many childhood memories from Enniscrone so always had my heart set on this location. The Ocean Sands Hotel always appealed to us with it's idyllic location on the sea shore and those stunning views. We met with Jennifer in January 2023, the time and attention we got that evening was second to none- we were made to feel so special and had a fabulous afternoon tea while we chatted. We knew after this day that we wanted to celebrate our wedding reception here. We met Olivia in the following months and she was such an optimistic & jolly breath of fresh air who made us feel so at ease and special too! Nothing was too much trouble, she had lots of fun suggestions for us and really listened to us and what kind of day we envisaged. We got a really good wedding package and the standard was so high. Olivia made the whole process seamless and the communication was brilliant whenever we had a question. A special thank you to Artur for his efficency, advice and attention to detail also and to Darragh also, always on hand to lend a helping hand. The guests all commented on the food (the most mouth-watering beef), the efficient service, and the friendliness of the staff. If we could get married again we would choose the Ocean Sands time and time again. We had the best day and truly can't believe its over!

Honestly the best day of our life’s and I am so glad we picked the Ocean Sands. Olivia was our planner and she was fabulous to deal with, she was so helpful and kind from day one! She couldn’t do enough for us. There was nothing too big or small. She made sure the day ran so smoothly and that there was no stress or issues for us on the run up to the big day.
A special mention to Jennifer, Darragh and Arthur who were so kind and helpful too! Plus all the staff on the day who were professional and hard working.
We picked the venue for the views and the function room - it did not disappoint. The room is beautiful, I wanted to have our day there for the views, it was decorated so beautifully on the day! Everyone complimented the venue and the views, it was just wow.
The staff were outstanding on the day and food was wow. Everyone said the beef was first class, that it was so tender! We had lots of compliments. The guests could not get over from the drinks reception I think it was great having it in a different room and the view of the beach was gorgeous.
All our guests said the meal was fantastic and could not get over how good the portions were and then how good the evening food was - we honestly couldn’t fault it!
Our day went so smoothly, we had the best service, laughs, memories and we can’t thank the team at the Ocean Sands enough especially Olivia for giving us the best day ever

From the very first day of planning our wedding at the Ocean Sands the staff there were just amazing to deal with. Olivia was our planner and she couldnt do enough for us. From our first meeting with her we felt completly relaxed and the whole experience was stress free and enjoyable. She couldnt do enough for us and nothing was a problem. We stayed at the the hotel the night before the wedding which we thoroughly enjoyed and even that night the staff there looked after us and our guests so well. Myself and my bridal party had an apartment for the morning of the wedding and it was beautiful we had a balcony and had amazing views of the beach, it was so bright and spacious. The wedding day itself couldnt of went any better. We had our ceremony there aswel which was just beautiful. The food was fabulous and was plentiful from the drinks reception right through until the evening buffet and even at the residents bar there was still food been brought out us. All our guests mentioned how good the food was. Every member of staff there are so professional and they are just amazing at there jobs. We had our own children there and lots of our nieces and nephews and on the day of the wedding the kids were able to use the pebbles playroom and they had the best day. We honestly had the best day of our lives with the Ocean Sands and we couldnt recommend it enough. Thank you to Olivia, Arthur and all the team xx

We couldn't praise Ocean Sands Hotel enough, they went above and beyond. Nothing was too much to ask, anything of concern to us was fixed or answered so quickly which is such a relief when planning a wedding. Olivia was like a counsellor, friend, wedding planner and overall bundle of joy to deal with. The food was incredible, the hotel was decked out therefore we hadn't to buy anything for that, the location was beyond perfect for our sunny pictures at the ocean and amazing scenery.
A lot of people that stayed for our wedding had the added bonus of starting their day with a beach walk.
Breakfast was A1, everyone catered for, great choice and such a clean hotel.
Memories for life because of this amazing hotel.. big big thank you from my husband and I.

Our wedding was a micro wedding with less than 30 guests. Unlike a lot of other hotels, the ocean sands had no problem accommodating this size of a wedding. From the start, our journey with the hotel was excellent. The wedding team are superb. They accommodated all of our wishes and last minute changes. All of our guests commented on how
genuine and friendly the staff are and on the excellent standard of food and service. Couldn't recommend them enough, they well deserve all of the awards they have received in the last few weeks. A special thanks to Olivia and Arthur.

We booked our wedding in the gorgeous Ocean Sands Hotel with four months notice, this was only possible because of the unbelievable staff and wedding team at Ocean Sands Hotel.
We had the best day of our lives. This hotel is so special, the location is dreamy, the food is 5 star, sensational, the civil ceremony room & reception room are unbeliveably pretty. The design & thought gone into these rooms is stunning, such a romantic & peaceful setting. Olivia, our wedding co-ordinator is a force of nature/angel, her calmness, advice, help, & personality blew us away. She loves her job & it shows. She and her amazing team: Authur, Darragh, Steven, Marcin, Linda to name only a few our outstanding at their jobs, I feel all went above & beyond to help us plan our day & deliver every detail seamlessly.
Jennifer who we initially met to book our wedding, she ensured us it could be done, and thankfully we believed her & I genuinely feel no other hotel could have made our day so special. Two beach-loving Sligo people got their dream wedding by the seaside so thank you all staff. We'll never forget how you treated us, our guests, and made planning a wedding effortless thanks to you xx

Olivia and Arthur went above and beyond for us in each and every way possible, always there to lend a helping hand, and took over everything that needs to be done. Our day ran so smoothly no stress because we knew we had the best team sorting it all for us... The food is just absolutely amazing, the service is out of this world. You are treated like a royalty on the best day of your life. We could never thank all the staff enough for all they done for us. Not to forget Steven who was with us at the residence bar he went above and beyond for us all aswell. My dream wedding became reality and that was all thanks to the ocean sands for doing this for us, I told them what I wanted and they done exactly that and more. Olivia was always at the other end of the phone to help me and reassure me the day will be perfect and it sure was that. We had the best day every thanks to all at the oceans sands. We can't wait to go back again for a stay and spa weekend.

If you are thinking of getting married, do not dream of looking anywhere but the Ocean Sands Hotel and Spa. We had an intimate wedding and I can honestly say I have not one single regret in choosing this hotel. We wanted a private dining room rather than a big ball room due to our party size, and the hotel accommodated us in the The Atlantic Room. When we walked into it on our
Wedding Day, I remember asking Olivia to give me a minute as I could not believe how beautifully they decorated the room for us. It took my breath away. The food was to die for. So much so, that none of our guests had any space for wedding cake after. Even the hot food that was served later that night was barely touched. I sampled it and couldn't decide if that, or the wedding meal was nicer. Olivia treated us like royalty that day and she made sure that not only was she at our disposal should we need anything, but Adam and Julian also. Fantastic team and I honestly mean that, so bubbly and fun. They could not help enough.
I have one regret from our wedding day. The day passed too quickly and we didn't get to enjoy the hotel and staff for longer. We already cannot wait to return for a couple of nights for our anniversary and enjoy the hotel,the food and the hospitality all over again.
Thank you so much for everything. Definitely a day we will cherish forever thanks to your hard work.

The ocean sands is an amazing venue for a wedding and the staff and wedding team are absolutely incredible! We were made to feel so calm and reassured throughout the planning and felt like nothing we asked for was too much. We had a few guests travel for the wedding and they stayed extra nights in the hotel and enjoyed their whole time. Olivia was absolutely a dream to have help us and is so professional and really can help with every aspect of the day. We had a civil ceremony in the hotel and then had our drinks reception outside and the views and surroundings of the hotel and just amazing , we had the most gorgeous weather and went to the beach for our photos and it was beautiful! The food was also perfect and all the staff were so so incredible. Honestly I cannot recommend the ocean sands enough along with Olivia and Arthur and the whole team!

All of the wedding team and wider staff of the Ocean Sands Hotel were a complete pleasure to deal with in the organising, lead-up to the big day itself and afterwards too. We were delighted with the quality of service received. We made some suggestions on improving elements of the function room and when we chatted to the team, they took the feedback and went above and beyond the suggestions that we made.
The food was superb and all of our guests had so many nice things to say about the staff, the food and the nice friendly atmosphere in the venue. The genuine kindness and interest of staff stood out and really sets this hotel apart from others. This creates a really personal feeling and adds to the many warm memories of our wedding weekend.
We couldn't recommend the Ocean Sands enough to any couples looking at wedding venues in the Sligo and Mayo areas. The setting being so close to the beach is great especially when the weather is in a good mood. We are very glad we made the decision to work with the Ocean Sands.
Thanks Ocean Sands team for helping to make our wedding so special to us.

The Ocean Sands Hotel was the perfect location for us and our family and friends. We have two boys , 1 with special needs and they were always welcomed from the beginning with Olivia, who is a godsend until the very end of our stay after our wedding. Olivia and Arthur are true professionals and always made us feel at home at the Ocean Sands no matter when we visited. The day went without a hitch, we had our ceremony there as well which was so relaxed and exactly what we wanted thanks to Enda Harte. Our photography team, Precious memories, used the hotel to their advantage as it ideally located and has beautiful scenery all around as well as easy access to the beach. As I always wanted to leave from home an hour away I sent the dresses up ahead in another car fro myself and bridemsaids. Olivia and Arthur made sure a room was ready and set aside for us to accommodate my request. We ran late due to issues outside our control but both Olivia, Arthur and Enda said it was no problem at all. With having kids it can be difficult to find a place that we were all happy, comfortable and relaxed in. With the play area downstairs in the hotel that is supervised when requested meant that parents of kids at the wedding could relax and some also booked a babysitter for a few hours on the night. The food has always been spectacular from the first time we went in January 2019 right through to the wedding day August 2023. There was never a fault and those that had special dietary requirements said it was amazing food. We can not forget to mention the legends that are the night staff that stayed with us until the very early morning on both nights. Want to give a big shout out to Trish, Adam, Pat, Steven and Evan as they treated us like royalty. We made the decision to have our day 2 at the ocean sands as well and it did not disappoint. Darragh, booked a great band that kept the guests going and the drink was flowing from the night staff. The night staff were great and helped guests not staying in the hotel to get back to their accommodation. To be honest we could not fault the ocean sands hotel in anyway. Reception always replied when we had requests about rooms or needed to change anything. All the staff are friendly and will say hello and help if needed. The hotel is also dog friendly so it meant we could bring our boy for pictures on the day. He is more of an outdoor dog so he stayed with Karen from tails and trails who got him groomed, dressed and brought to the hotel for the ceremony and pictures for the day. The rooms were very comfortable and everyone was so happy with their little holiday in Enniscrone.

We had our wedding day in The Ocean Sands on Sunday July 23rd of this year. To say we are beyond thrilled at how everything went is a understatement, it exceeded all our expectations.
Just exceptional from start to finish, from fabulous food, beautifully decorated function room, lovely homely atmosphere, amazing staff, fast efficient service and hospitality.
Couldn't fault any of it and we have received fantastic feedback from all our guests who thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.
We love this hotel so much, that it's a firm favorite over the years during school breaks and holidays.
From our first ever meeting with Olivia to this day, she is so warm, welcoming and friendly and an absolutely fantastic wedding co ordinator.
Olivia, Arthur, Jennifer, Amy and all the staff we came in contact with in the lead up to our special day and on the day itself went above and beyond to make it such a special, memorable day.
We really had the best day of our lives and were treated like absolute royalty.
We had our day 2 party also, food and entertainment the following evening and still everything was just fantastic.
If you're looking for a hotel with an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean, extremely family friendly, with great food, hospitality, nighttime entertainment then look no further than The Ocean Sands.

The service & food is exceptional (best beef in Ireland!) & the every person who works there is so kind and helpful.
To everyone at the ocean sands, we cannot thank you enough
Our guest have told us it was the best wedding they were ever at.
Thank you for making all our dreams come true.

We were married in a civil ceremony at Ocean Sands Hotel and had a really joyous day. Olivia, Arthur and their team of staff were so helpful and considerate through out, giving us moments to savour that we might not have taken ourselves. The whole day ran smoothly and we're deeply grateful for all their hard work. The ceremony, meal, music and dancing was all accommodated in the same room. The turn over between each segment of the day felt seamless for us and our 80 guests. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel. We were made feel special.

Also the decor you laid out was fantastic
Thanks for going out of your way with all the little bits and pieces that you done throughout the process things we hadn't even thought about.
We were blessed with the weather but even with out the sun the day wouldn't have been any different!

I honestly can't write enough good things about our experience with The Ocean Sands, I really can't. From our very first meeting with Olivia and Darragh and our taster night with Artur and working through all the room bookings with Linda - every single one of them made us feel so supported and important, and no matter how many questions we asked or room revisions we did they were always so patient and courteous to deal with. Olivia and her team are simply wonderful and amazing to see how they all work together as a team to make sure the wedding day went off smoothly. We were looked after so well on the day ensuring we had everything we needed from start to finish - by every member of staff in the hotel, even the next day when we went to the Spa we had such a lovely warm welcome and a fantastic experience. I almost wish we could do it all again (hopefully will never have to obviously!). The value of all the little extras that are included to make sure the ceremony room and dinner tables are lovely is wonderful also - the added options like the candy cart etc is so convenient to have too - and even with some third party suppliers coming in the team at the Ocean Sands made all this a breeze to reducing any potential stress we would have with all the logistics etc. The location of the hotel also is stunning, meaning come rain or shine you will have such wonderful views outside. Our guests have raved about the food and service non stop since the day - our expectations were not only met, but utterly exceeded in every way possible.

From the first day we went to chat and view the hotel, right up to the wedding day itself, the team were so helpful and accommodating for everything we needed. They were always available during the wedding planning and did most of the organising around the day for us! The food was unbelievable- all of the guests commented on how good it was. The location by the sea is wonderful (even though we got a wet and windy day, it was still beautiful!).
I absolutely would recommend the Ocean Sands Hotel to any couple planning their wedding.

We recently just got married here at the Ocean Sand Hotel and it was amazing. We had both Olivia and Amy helping us organise our day and they was both incredible. Olivia has continued to help us with things since the wedding which just shows how dedicated she is to her job. We knew instantly when viewing the hotel and meeting Olivia this is where we wanted to get married. All the staff here are amazing when Olivia or Amy wasn't available somebody else was and they made it so easy for us to plan from England. Arthur and Steven was great, everyone constantly came over to us saying how lovely and helpful they was as well as how incredible the food was by their chef! We stayed the night after and had drinks in the bar and the hotel had booked live music which everyone really enjoyed. They really can't do enough for you. Our guest arrived really early due to flights on the Sunday before the wedding and the staff raced around making sure they had food and the rooms were ready as quickly as possible for them. All our guest have already asked us to do a reunion here next year as they enjoyed it so much! We would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of getting married here, it was the best experience and it all went so well we can't thank Olivia, the wedding team and the hotel staff anymore.

We recently had our Civil ceremony and reception in the Ocean Sands and words cannot express how happy we were with the whole experience. From the first day when we went to view it as a potential venue to the day of our wedding we were treated like royalty. We had a small wedding with our immediate family but the size didn't matter, we were made to feel so special. Olivia was always on hand to help with all the finer details. The room where the ceremony was held overlooked the beach and Olivia and her team had it beautifully decorated. On the day of the wedding Arthur ensured that everything ran smoothly in the dining room. The food was so amazing our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed it. One of our guests was a celiac and there was a lovely selection of gluten free food for her. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Ocean Sands as the ideal wedding venue, it's in a fantastic location and perfect for those outdoor photos, amazing staff and fabulous food.

where do i begin. We had our wedding day on 29th of August this year. Its was the best day of our lives. I can't thank Olivia and the team enough. From start to finish nothing was a problem for Olivia she is just amazing at what she does and she makes everything so easy and care free . Due to pandemic this was the third time lucky for us but Olivia made us feel so excited and happy every single time the date changed she is truly one in a million. Every single thing about our day was perfect we got married at the back of the hotel looking over the ocean and the set up was so beautiful we couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful and the food and service was just out of this world my friend and family are already looking to return for sunday dinner. For future brides and grooms we could not recommend this hotel and Olivia enough if we could give a million stars we would. It was the best day ever and we can not thank you guys enough. We look forward to many more trips in the future.

Olivia, the wedding coordinator is so warm and friendly, she was so approachable and helpful to us in the planning stages and checked in on us so often during our stay to ensure everything was perfect. She made our day and whole stay perfect. All of the staff we met were very helpful and so professional. We stayed the night before, night of and night after our wedding. Our room was so amazing, we stayed in the bridal suit, I'd recommend it for the night before a wedding as there's so much space to get ready and a beautiful make up table. All of our meals and drinks were wonderful. I have only positive things to say about our stay and wedding reception and would highly recommend the Ocean Sands to anyone getting married.

We got married in April and had our reception in the beautiful Ocean Sands Hotel. We decided to go ahead with our original date regardless of numbers. I first emailed Olivia when I realised that the venue we had booked would not be reopening until summer due to Covid. We were so lucky that the Ocean Sands were able to host us. Olivia was always very efficient to deal with and extremely helpful to us in arranging everything. She went out of her way to ensure that we had the most amazing wedding day with our immediate family despite all of the restrictions.

Olivia and all her team were amazing. While trying to reorganise a covid wedding Olivia really was my rock and mammy!!! The day went so smoothly from the start of the ceremony right through to check out the following day. The food was top quality with plenty offered. The supervised kids club and organised childminder meant that the children were well looked after and we felt that they were safe the whole day and evening aswel while we got photos on the amazing grounds with stunning views of the beach. The room for the ceremony and reception was beautifully decorated. Finally, the stunning bedroom suite the room was perfect and the chocolates, champagne and thoughtful card really didn't go unnoticed. To Olivia and all of the staff we want to thank you for helping us organise and reorganise our most perfect day.

After having to change our venue with 3 weeks to go I contacted Olivia with the hope that our date would be free. Thankfully it was. Olivia went above and beyond for us, couldnt have been more helpful. She organised everything for us so all we had to do was show up. Her professionalism and kindness are second to none. The staff were all a delight to deal with.The food deserves a review of it's own, absolutely delicious.Due to covid restrictions our guests numbers were 25, however the way in which the function room was decorated was perfect for an intimate gathering all the while adhering to social distancing.We will never be able to thank Olivia enough.Our day was perfect all thanks to Olivia and the wonderful staff at the Ocean Sands Hotel.

We couldn't reccomend the Ocean Sands and the team highly enough!
We love the Ocean Sands and there was no question that we would be getting married there.
Olivia and the team are just wonderful. Nothing was a problem and they were always at the end of the phone.
Olivia was able to offer loads of advice and is just so helpful.
The hotel itself is fab, and the views!! We've been to lots of wedding here over the years and it's just top class!
Thanks again to everybody at the Ocean Sands and we would reccomend 110%.

What can I say our wedding day was everything and more than we ever could have dreamed of. The team in the Ocean Sands were amazing from the very first viewing to the finest of detail. Olivia was amazing and is amazing at her job. her enthusiasm, commitment and breath of fresh air to the planning made our wedding day one I will always remember with the fondest memories. On the wedding day itself the whole team in the Ocean Sands gave our whole wedding party and guests the best of service so much so that 4 months later people are still talking about the amazing day and experience some had considering it was their first visit ever to Enniscrone. The food was out of this world and something that could not be faulted from the canapés to the late night nibbles we were amazed. I honestly could not recommend this hotel enough for how amazing they were in making sure our wedding day was a day we will forever remember with the fondest of memories.

We could not have been more pleased with our whole experience with the Ocean Sands for our wedding! From the minute we met Olivia for the wedding consultation we knew we were going to have our wedding there. All of the staff in the Ocean Sands were so professional on the day and seemed delighted to be part of the celebrations. Olivia was in constant contact with us in the lead-up to the wedding and she had the room decorated perfectly as always. Amazing value for money and an amazing location with sea views from the bar, reception and of course the fabulous honeymoon suite! All of our guests commented on the excellent food that was served on the day. Thank you so much Olivia, Stephen, the team in the bar and kitchen and the rest of the staff at the Ocean Sands!!

The venue is in a stunning location, so close to the beach.
Ideal for beach shots and fabulous views from all the function/reception rooms.
The staff, food and service were all perfect.
Olivia was there every step of the way to make the process as simple as possible.
We had an amazing day and would recommend the venue and Olivia to anyone ????

Best hotel in the West for fab views of the Wild Atlantic way! & also dog friendly so the bride & grooms best friend could join them on their day! We had best wedding in Sept. Everything was perfect...food and service were top notch! Thanks to Olivia for helping us plan our wedding day- she is amazing, open to whatever we wanted on the day and always at hand prior during and after wedding day. Also have to say we had lot of guests from Cork and Kerry...they all raved about the views from function room, the amazing service from hotel staff & being so close to amazing enniscrone beach..all for amazing value and hard to get anywhere else along wild Atlantic way!

Where do I even begin. We decided to visit the ocean sands wedding fair with no intentions of booking our wedding date we weren't there 15 minutes and had our deposit paid and date booked as we knew there was nowhere that would give us the level of service that the ocean sands provided. Olivia the wedding coordinate is in a league of her own. From the minute we met Olivia she went above and beyond to make every minute of our wedding planning stress free and most of all enjoyable. We stayed plenty of time's before our big day and each time was a treat. The hotel is ideal for all age groups especially if you have any small guests. The rooms are fabulous and the food is top notch. Every member of staff is so friendly and professional and genuinely look like they are delighted to be part of your day. The room decor is brilliant and the outside patio is ideal for photos. We recommend the ocean sands to anyone looking for a dream wedding location and feels like a home away from home is the best way possible Mx

For me and my partner the Ocean Sands Hotel was the ideal venue for us, once we met with Olivia she put us both as ease taking us through the finer details and preparation for our big day.
From the arrival reception to the dinner reception Olivia was on hand for anything that was needed and also took myself and himself down to see the room and get us some alone time together as we were still greeting guests ???????? also my little 2.5 year old wouldn't eat any sweets down the candy cart my fault Olivia sent a member of staff to the nearest shop to buy some flakes for her Thank You
All my guests are still taking about the good food, service and attention to detail provided by Olivia and staff and the ocean Sands Hotel
The bridal room was newly renovated and the evening view from the balcony overlooking the beach stunning and perfect for sunset pictures
Olivia and staff will go above and beyond they did for us and we had the best day and would do it all again in the same venue ??

My husband and I had our wedding reception in the Ocean Sands Hotel in August 2019. It was the perfect wedding venue for us and ticked all the boxes. We had been planning our wedding for over a year and Olivia the wedding coordinator was so helpful during that time. Any questions we had were answered very quickly and efficiently. On the day itself all of the staff at the hotel provided a great service and the day ran so smoothly. Olivia and her team were ever so helpful and we could not fault anything. The food was also great and there were lots of compliments about the meal. We would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel as a fabulous wedding venue!!

The venue was stunning and the decorations/centre pieces were done beautifully. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was too. We planned our wedding from abroad and our wedding planner was very quick to respond to my emails. I sent a lot of things to Ireland and the hotel were very accommodating in accepting all of our stuff and holding them for us. We really appreciated that as it made things so much smoother/easier. One of my guests had to cancel due to a sudden emergency and the hotel were very understanding of this and allowed her to get a refund. I really appreciate how understanding they were. Everyone was really kind and friendly too.
Generally everything went really well, but the only complaint I have was in regards to the music. On the night, the sound system got over-heated and we didn't have any music for about an hour and a half. This caused quite a lot of stress. However the staff were very helpful in trying to sort out the problem and one member of staff even went to his house and got his own sound speaker to help us out. We were very appreciative of him doing that for us.
Overall, we were happy with the service and we'd definitely recommend the Ocean sands to other couples (just bring your own sound speaker or DJ)!

We had the pleasure of celebrating our big day in the Ocean Sands Hotel and all I can say is it was Amazing from start to finish!! I booked my wedding pretty much last minute with 5 months to go as my other venue fell through and Olivia was a dream so calming and motivating when I was feeling stressed! Nothing was too much even having a vegan menu (there was meat too lol) that we got to choose! Myself and the bridal party stayed here the night before as I was getting ready there because we had our ceremony there and we had a ball! Olivia was amazing even supplying us with some sneaky tequilas the morning of to settle the nerves! We had our dog with us at the ceremony and it was no problem at all! Food was amazing, bar was stocked with every drink that was asked for and nothing was too much! The guests loved the rooms and the breakfast the next morning! The bridal suite is absolutely fabulous!! We cannot wait to return for our 1st anniversary and to see the lovely Olivia again she is a joy! Xx

She is one of the kindest and helpful women out there and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts. She would do anything for her wedding couples and pulled out all the stops for us. A special mention should also go to Stephen. They make a great team and will go that step further to make your day run smoothly. Our guests are still on about the delicious food, the friendly staff who always have a smile on their face, the stunning view of the beach, and the warm and homely atmosphere around the hotel.

We truly can't recommend this hotel enough. We have been coming here for a few years and naturally when we got engaged it was our first port of call. From the moment we booked our appointment with Olivia the hotel's absolutely AMAZING wedding coordinator we just instantly knew this was the perfect venue for our wedding by the sea.
We had our magical day on the 14th of June this year and we can honestly say that it was the best day of our lives. The entire Ocean Sands management and staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming to us. Nothing was too much trouble and with the very talented, professional and caring Olivia we created the most beautiful wedding. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how excellent the service was.
We had a civil ceremony there which was just stunning, the work that Olivia and staff put in was seen from the get go.. It was just a fairy tale setting with the beautiful Atlantic to be seen in the back drop. This hotel is just a home from home, any phone call or email to them was just like contacting a friend and catching up, from the ever helpful Olivia to the wonderful Lauren and the great team on reception they were all just a pleasure to deal with.
Weddings can be a little stressful but we can definitely say not in our case. We wouldn't change a thing about our day. The professionalism, hospitality and timeliness of our day was second to none.
We look forward to spending many more breaks away in our favourite hotel.
If you're a newly engaged couple and wondering where to have a very personal and special day then The Ocean Sands Hotel in Enniscrone is the place to go. You won't find a more beautiful venue for you and your guests.
Thank you so much for everything Ocean Sands Hotel, you made our dreams into reality.

The newly renovated Presidential Suite looks beautiful as well.

My now wife and I booked our date two years in advance and we had an amazing day. Our wedding coordinator, Olivia, was so helpful throughout and made organising it so easy. I can't thank them enough for their flexibility to allow us to bring our own little bits to decorate the room and complete the look we wanted. I can't fault the day at all which is all down to Olivia and the team at Ocean Sands.

We had a wonderful day in the Ocean Sands for our wedding. Olivia couldn't have been more helpful from the first time we met, any queries were answered promptly and she also recommended various suppliers to us. The food on the day was fabulous and the room was beautifully decorated for both the ceremony and reception. All our guests had a wonderful day. We couldn't be any more grateful to Olivia & the staff for making our day perfect. We would highly recommend this hotel for a wedding.

The Ocean Sands Hotel was the perfect venue for our big day. The function room was decorated beautifully, the food was fantastic and pictures on Enniscrone beach just behind the hotel were amazing. We had so many compliments on how smoothly the day went, it was all down to the lovely Olivia and her team. We had an amazing day and would highly recommend it to any couples thinking of holding their special day there.

The Ocean Sands Hotel was the most Incredible venue for our wedding that we could have asked for. It was more than we had ever expected it to be. If I could give it a 100 star review I would! All of the staff were second to none and Olivia the wedding consultant is the most helpful and warm person, nothing was too much for her and I can honestly say without her our day wouldn't have been as wonderful as it was. She is a complete professional and also treats your vision with absolute respect and enthusiasm. She was always delighted to see us and couldn't wait to bring our vision to life! The venue speaks for itself, it is pure magic from top to bottom and the rooms and standard of cleanliness are excellent. The ballroom is just magical and the view from this hotel is stunning! We ate there several times in the lead up to the big day and each and every time the food and table service blew us away, after our wedding our guests kept commenting on how great the food and service was which was so important for us and a major reason we chose this venue. The value for money is also unbelieveable, our guests raved that the room rate was one of the lowest they had seen for such a great venue which meant most of our guests stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the entire weekend with us. When we were settling the bill after our wedding day my husband and I got a wonderful shock to discover how very reasonable the final bill was. For the service we had I honestly would've paid double, the value for money is incredible. We genuinely believe this venue is The best place to get married, we honestly have nothing bad or even remotely negative to say about it. My advice to any future bride and groom would be to go and see this place. Talk to Olivia. Have a meal there. Maybe even stay the night and walk the beach in the morning. I can guarantee you won't be anything but amazed. You mught even just fall in love and never want to leave. We're looking forward to our next trip back already!

The venue is brilliant value for money and the quality of food is their greatest selling point.Their packages encoporate a lot that other wedding venues charge extra for. The venue is located in the scenic seaside town of enniscrone which adds to its appeal. You have a amazing seaview from the hotel and function room.

We got married in the Ocean Sands on August 10th and we cannot say enough good about Olivia and all of the team throughout the whole hotel. Olivia allowed me to follow through with all of my creative ideas for the wedding day and nothing was a problem. Her speed in communicating was outstanding! The value for money for what we received was out of this world.
All of our guests gave feedback that the food was amazing, along with the service and of course the beautiful setting. We also held our second night party in the hotel and they treated us like it was our wedding day all over again.
We cant wait to go back to the hotel and all of our guests feel the same. Thanks to everyone xx

What an amazing hotel, it's like home from home ??
My husband and myself got married on 2 June and our reception was at the ocean sands, this hotel has no faults when it comes to weddings, they honestly could not do enough for us,
Olivia was ? AMAZING ? this lady deserves an award for what she does, even up to the morning before our wedding we had people drop out due to sickness and bereavements, and after emailing Olivia that morning, she relaxed the situation and assured us not to worry, We are both self employed so to try and meet Olivia during the day was a no go for us, but again this was not a problem, you name the time and Olivia was there to meet you.
As for the hotel, the views are spectacular, I really wanted an abroad wedding but marrying a farmer it wasn't going to happen but this hotel made me feel just like we were away, as we ate our dinner we were looking straight out on to the beach,
All of the staff were absolutely amazing, we had one guest who was staying across the road from the hotel and her baby wasn't settled so she left the meal with the baby, a member of staff followed with her meal to assure she got her meal, now we have been to many a wedding but I have never seen any hotel do that,
All I can say is if your thinking about this hotel for your wedding, book it cause you will not get the service or quality anywhere else
Thanks to everyone in the hotel that made our day so special for us

We had our wedding in the Ocean Sands Hotel on 29th September 2017. From the very first time we met with our wedding planner, we knew we had made the best decision for our wedding. She listened to us and took note of every detail, from meeting to meeting she was able to remind us of the smallest detail, even if we had forgotten. We had several meetings and of course were given the afternoon for the menu tasting. The Bridal Suite was huge with a balcony. On the big day, they took care of everything. There was not one single thing that went wrong. I know to some people this must sound like an exaggeration but there's not one single thing bad or negative that I can say. The staff are professional but friendly, the hotel is immaculate, the food is superb. To Linda and Olivia - huge thanks. If we were to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing.

Myself and my husband held our wedding reception in the Ocean Sands in July 2017. They were amazing in every way from beginning to end! Any little jobs I asked them to do (such as leave bags in rooms for guests, baskets, photo frames, etc.) were no problem. The location is simply stunning - I loved sitting at the top table, seeing all my friends and family and then the gorgeous blue sea behind them. The quality of food is excellent...and the food tasting before the wedding is an experience! Make sure you arrive with an empty stomach! Our guests loved it too, commenting on location and food but also on the staff - from reception to bar staff, we heard over and over again only good reports - and we experienced it ourselves. If I could give them 6 out of 5 I would - highly recommend!

We had our wedding here in June 2017 which was more than perfect thanks to the excellent and professional service of the team at the Ocean Sands. Everything went off without a hitch and was even better than we anticipated.
Linda helped to coordinate everything in the run up to the wedding and Steve and Olivia were also brilliant making things run smoothly on the day. From beginning to end, the staff were friendly and helpful, accomodating lots of little extra touches which we wanted to personalise the big day. No extra favours were too big for the team.
The food was first class, the room layout was amazing, the outdoor area was great and the setting in front of the beach and ocean was breathtaking.
Our family, friends and ourselves had an absolute ball over the weekend so if you are planning a wedding or event here we can't recommend these guys enough.
Thanks for the best weekend of our lives :)

From the moment we entered the Ocean Sands Hotel we knew it was the venue for us. Teresa was so easy and pleasant to deal with, she could not have been more helpful. In the run up to the wedding I was emailing her re booking rooms for people and it was never to much trouble for her. It was also fantastic value for money. The day itself was amazing, everything looked beautiful, the table names, which we had only just decided on the day before the wedding had been done to perfection and Stephen looked after us all tremendously. I highly recommend the Ocean Sands if you are looking for a beautiful, beach side wedding. I have absolutely no complains whatsoever ????????
