Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links

We had our wedding in Portmarnock in November and stayed two nights.
The service from the whole wedding team was fantastic, in particular Sophie our Event Coordinator who worked closely with us leading up to the big day. She was so nice to deal with and very responsive. The staff on the day itself were also fantastic.
Everyone was really impressed with the food, how the room looked, the Christmas decorations etc. Would have no hesitation recommending to anyone for a wedding.
The rooms (we stayed in two) were also fabulous with incredible views, spotlessly clean and all of our guests found the breakfast delicious.

We had our wedding in Portmarnock Hotel in November 2022. We were initially dealing with a member of staff who left a few months before our wedding which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as her replacement Sophie was just so helpful and obliging. Unfortunately the events people don't work weekends so there was a few clitches on the day (our wedding was on a Sunday). The biggest being that they forgot to set up our drinks reception on arrival which meant when we and our guests arrived at the hotel, there was nothing to eat or drink, there was supposed to be prosecco, tea/coffee, scones and biscuits...they eventually sorted it out and brought the drinks and nibbles out about 45mins after we arrived but it was a bit embarrassing as people where ordering and paying for their own drinks and some where hungry as they'd travelled from the country. For some reason the hotel said they thought we were having our drinks reception after our ceremony which wouldn't make sense as our ceremony was at 430pm and our meal was booked for 6pm after our ceremony...another minor issue was they couldn't get one of our ceremony songs to play during the signing of the registry, so that was done in silence haha...
anyway we got over those things and the rest of the evening ran smoothly and we along with all our guests had a brilliant day overall. It is a beautiful venue and setting for a wedding.

We were absolutely delighted with our wedding at Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links. They have beautiful outdoor spaces which we were lucky enough to be able to utilize for both our ceremony and drinks reception. Despite some turnover with the wedding coordinators the team made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The F&B managers on the day were fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure our guests had a great time and did so with good humour, politeness and efficiency. The food was excellent, we received many compliments from our guests. The accommodation is also great, with many rooms having beautiful sea views. This was very much appreciate by our many overseas guests. I would not hesitate to recommend it as a venue to other couples.

Food was excellent however the level of service provided was very poor on the day. The got the music wrong at the reception between 3-5 and it took 15 mins before this was rectified. They also played the wrong music for the bridal party entrance. The top table was incorrectly set for 12 rather then 14 which delayed the bride and grooms entrance. Not every table got their full menu including starters or wine. They ran out of potatoes and vegetables which meant two tables of 10 guests didn?t get any vegetables or potatoes. The bar ran out of gin and vodka at 1:25am. So all in all the level of service wasn?t to the standard that was proposed in the hotels original wedding package offering

Really impressed with the team in portmarnock. The venue was really fab, the room looked amazing. I hired in chiavari chairs myself and I think the hotel should defo consider getting them as they are much more modern.
The food was beautiful, David the manager was so lovely to deal with, and Karen and Ashley.
Bridal suite was out of this world.
Photo ops on the beach beautiful.
Only cons were : not having chiavari chairs
- charging extra for lit up dancefloor ,drapes behind top table (both of which were in place at wedding fair leading us to believe were part of the package)
-overnight rates for wedding guests quite high, considering not a city centre/5 star hotel
Overall though all hotels have cons, and these didnt take from our very good experience in portmarnock

We had our wedding at the Portmarnock Hotel and Golf links on Saturday, 5th March. We were incredibly happy with the day itself and cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at the hotel, our wedding co ordinator Karen the beautiful surroundings, fabulous food and excellent accommodations. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic day. We would highly reccomend the hotel to any future bride and grooms.
