The Radisson Blue Hotel is an amazing venue with beautiful views as it is situated right over the Shannon and it was perfect for our wedding day. Although we may have encountered a few hiccups the day of and the day after our wedding with some mistakes with staff, Claire was able to resolve the solution in an effective manner. Claire is so understanding, helpful and very supportive in what we wanted. The quality of the food was just outstanding and even tasted better than the food tasting day in our personal opinions. We’ve never eaten anything like it before! Our honeymoon sweet was so comfortable and over all amazing, being situated on the top floor. We will definitely be back to eat and possibly sleep there again! A big shout out to Claire and the staff again, as they did everything to make our dream wedding come true.

We had our wedding at the Radisson Blu in Athlone during February of 2024. The venue had everything we could have wanted; scenic view of the river, amazing food (everyone told us later how delicious their dinners were), very spacious, and the hotel wedding coordinators were attentive, responsive, and caring. The central location is also ideal, since we had many guests from out of town so it was easy for them to walk around and explore Athlone before and after the wedding. There are loads of wedding venues in Athlone, many of which are more expensive than the Radisson but that don't offer nearly as much as the Radisson does. I'm perplexed as to why the Radisson Blu isn't the most popular wedding venue location in Athlone, it has everything you could want for a wedding and is extremely affordable

We're so happy we chose the Radisson Blu Athlone as our wedding venue. It was so lovley to have the River Shannon, Athlone Castle & The Cathedral as the backdrop to our wedding day. The wedding Co-Ordinator Claire was nothing less than helpful and was very accommodating to meet with us at such a busy time. No job was too big! The food was absolutely amazing! We had people telling us weeks after the wedding how delicious the food was so hats off to the chef!! The hotel was very clean, warm and had plenty of staff working nobody was waiting at the bar for too long and nobody had to wait too long for their dinner! I definitely wouldn't change our venue if we were to do it all again!

We were completely blown away with the standard of wedding the Radisson Blu delivered for us in July. From the drinks reception to the food, the quality was outstanding. All our guests commented on the high standard of food and the dinner service was just as excellent.
We also had the BBQ on day two and that was just as nice!
Claire worked extremely closely with me in the build up to the big day and was on hand to offer any advice or help. Nothing was too much trouble.
i will always be extremely grateful to the Radisson for giving us the best possible day we could have asked for.

Claire the wedding co ordinator couldn't be of more help. Nothing was too much. Any questions we had she was more than happy to answer. On the day itself all the staff had the hotel set up absolutely fabulous and worked out a great day all round. Kieran the manager was on the evening shift from food to during the night and again so lovely to deal with and plenty of lovely compliments on the food aswell.

1000% recommend weddings in the Radisson all the team do their very best to help with your planning and are on hand on your day incase you have any worries.

Where do I start..
Claire our wedding organiser couldn't have done more for us. Anything we requested wasn't an issue and we had everything we wanted for our big day. She was super helping us out and would always contact us if we had any questions.
The food on the day was excellent. We did the food tasting and I have to say they nailed it on the day of our wedding. Well done to Caslin and Jack. Everyone and I mean everyone said it was amazing.
Chris who looked after us in function room was excellent also. Took any bit of pressure off us and made the evening so relaxing for us and all our guests.
Finally to the floor and bar staff. They couldn't go wrong if they tried. They were very professional and had the craic with our guests which really makes the night too.
The hotel itself was perfect. Everything was on the same floor, bar, ballroom, reception and their beautiful out door seated area.
Finally the night security guard (can't remember his name) was always on the ball. Better again he mingled with our guests and made them all feel at ease.
If I was asked would I do it all again and go to the same hotel.. I wouldn't hesitate for a second in saying yes.
Myself and Marlena had the best day and was all thanks to everyone in the hotel that day. I mean everyone. Not one complaint and we are still getting loads of great feed back from our guests on the day.
Thanks again to Claire, Chris, Jack and their teams on making our day the best ever.
Can't wait to come back again soon.
Kind regards,
Shane.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Radisson Blu Athlone this November. Our wedding coordinator, Claire, was fantastic with helping us plan our big day. She was a dream to work with from start to finish. The hotel staff were professional and unbelievably accommodating on the day. The ceremony and reception room was laid out so beautifully and elegantly. The food was amazing. We had our day two at the hotel. Again, the staff were wonderful and the food was great. We enjoyed our celebrations from planning, right up to the main event. We would highly recommend the Radisson Blu Athlone for a wedding, outstanding venue.

Honestly it's hard to put into words how amazing this venue was. It was the very first venue we viewed and I knew the second we walked in it was it. Our first co-ord helped us with all our initial questions and was prompt on replying to all questions and setting us on our countdown journey. Claire started and with only a few months to go stepped up in realising our dream day. We wanted a relaxed day, sipping cocktails on the deck and enjoying food, well that's exactly what we got. From the moment we walked in it was perfect, the ceremony setting exactly how I imaging it.
The reception was exactly the same the fairy tale dream. The food was absolutly perfect and honestly still spoken about when reminiscing. Every single server, manager all staff were so helpful in making sure everything was done right and that everything was the way we wanted. If I could do it over there isn't anything I would change,
I would highly reccomend the Radisson athlone as a wedding venue.

We had our big day on the 29th July this year after 3 new dates due to covid - but noting was too big or too small for the team at the Radisson in Athlone they were just so helpful and it really was just so stress free with them. Our day at the Hotel was everything an so much more we ever could have imagined from the service the food the room itself was all just amazing . They staff were just so hands on so helpful that day it really just was smooth sailing. We had a kids table and anytime I looked down there was always a staff member over with them checking seeing if all was OK with them making sure they had enough food juice just playing with them it was just super. Also our kids stsyed thst night with us and there room in the hotel was amazing an when we asked for them to be near us it was never an issue it was just super. We still have guests say to us about the service of food we had any amount and it was just amazing . The Barr staff had there work cut out for them let me tell ya but they kept all our guests well watered (hehe) To the management team & staff no matter what I asked or looked for it was never a issue even the day before going down to bring down our stuff going into the venu room looking at them all working away to make our day so special an they coming over seeing did we like it they were just brilliant. I couldn't fault the guys at the Radisson and I would highly highly recommend it for a venue to any couple looking to celebrate there day with the Radisson Blu Athlone

To Claire & Staff,
We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so special. We appreciate everything you did for us and our families that weekend.
Claire was so supportive in the lead up to the wedding and coordinated every detail so well that the entire day ran so smoothly from start to finish.
We had both our ceremony and reception in the hotel and it was such a fantastic setting.
You created the perfect atmosphere for us and our guests and the decor was fabulous.
The meal was also delicious, and was made even better with incredible service throughout - all our guests said how impressed they were.
Your whole team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and treated us so well from our very first visit.
We even lost something sentimental on the day and the team managed to locate it and get it back into our hands safe and sound.
It?s clear that the staff at the Radisson really care for and love what they do.
From a very happy couple,
A massive thank you,
Gillian and Daniel

This is an amazing place for a Wedding. We can highly recommend the hotel. Great location, beautiful inside area, outside tarrace area and nice view, very clean, plenty of very delicious and outstanding food great service . It was our dream venue and we had a wonderful time. The wedding venue manager Claire , is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through and was pleasure to work with very quick to respond.The price is very affordable, but the location and view seems like it should be worth a lot more.The hotel and stuff there were out of their way to meet our needs,and they are on top of everything.Just wonderful in every way. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots with a lot of different backgrounds. All and all, my husband and I were very happy with this venue and we recommend it to all of our engaged friends. We couldn?t be happier with how everything went. All our expectations were met also our guests had great time.

Just want to say a big 'THANK YOU' to Aisling and all the staff at the hotel for making our Wedding day so special, it was brilliant!
All our guests raved about the hotel and the staff all weekend, we received nothing but compliments.
A special thanks to Monika, Paul and Olive. From the time we arrived friday until we left on Monday they couldn't have done anymore for us, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was great for us all weekend.
It was also brilliant we got to do the boat arrival, everyone was blown away by it, it was a great surprise!
Thanks again for all your help with helping me organise it.

I just wanted to thank you and all the staff at the Radisson for making our wedding day so perfect. You went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we had everything we wanted and took the stress out of it all. I didn't have to remember anything because you thought of everything for me! As Jason kept saying, Aisling is on the ball!- and you were so on top of things at every stage of the planning.
The hotel itself was amazing also. All of our guests commented on the fabulous food and the beautiful setting. You had loads of staff on and everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I want to particularly mention two young waiters who had patiently waited to clean the reception room after us at all hours of the morning; they approached me with a card they had found under one of the tables. So honest and patient with us; I didnt even think to get their names at the time.
A few of my friends are engaged to be married and I will be highly recommending the Radisson to them. In our opinion, you could not ask for more from a wedding venue. On every front, it was flawless!

We had our wedding on the 28th of august 2015 in the Radisson blu athlone and I can say that everything was perfect down to the tiny details. The hotel its self is in a perfect location and the views of the Shannon from the Marina Suite are fantastic the comfort we had that knowing we didn?t have to worry about anything on the day was incredible. All our guests complement the staff and the rooms and said they couldn?t have been any nicer. Aisling was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing she was so calm and helpful, replied to every email and phone call and explained details down to the smallest of things. I couldn?t have imagined our wedding day to be any more perfect if I tried and that was down to the brilliant and very professional staff of the Radisson blu athlone.
