Raheen Woods Hotel

We had such great service from the Raheen Woods Hotel.. We are so happy we chose them as our wedding reception venue. From the 1st meeting with Oisin they couldn't have done enough for us. One or 2 little tweaks with the menu was done for me with no questions asked.. we had so little to organise ourselves as everything was thought of in their wedding packages. The reports back from guests was that the food was fantastic, which was apparent anyway from the empty plates at every table. The staff were amazing and its a peefect venue a few miles outside the hussle and bustle of Galway City. I would highly recommend the Raheen Woods Hotel as the ideal location to celebrate your wedding.

We would recommend this hotel 100% from the minute we booked the hotel until we paid the bill The General Manager Mr Oisin Nevin and his staff were fantastic. Nothing was any bother to them They always had a smile and a welcome when you called we have nothing negative to say about the hotel.

Raheen Woods Hotel was the first and last venue we viewed for our intimate covid wedding. We loved it from the moment we walked in, so much so we knew we didnt have to see any more venues. Frances and Oisin were so helpful throughout the organisation of our special day. They were always so easy to get in contact with and lovely to deal with. The room was beautifully decorated for our ceremony and reception. The food was absolutely delicious and portions were generous. All the staff at the hotel were professional and friendly. We would highly recommend the Raheen Woods Hotel

We had the most amazing day at our wedding in the Raheen Woods hotel. We can not recommend them enough as a wedding venue. Frances and all the hotel staff were incredible and looked after us and everything we needed and asked for. The whole day was a magical experience.

We cannot recommend Frances and all the wonderful staff at the raheen woods enough. From the first day we met with her Frances was just a pleasure to deal with. She was so helpful in planning our wedding and was always on the other end of the phone. She thought of all the small bits we had forgotten, she was always honest in her opinions and on the day of our wedding she even shower us a few dance moves for our first dance. She is the dream lady. The food was and always is just amazing so tasty all our guests really enjoyed their meals and everyone was so professional. We cannot say one bad thing about this beautiful hotel and Frances and all the team.

We were delighted we picked the Raheen Woods as the hotel for our wedding. From the very first day when we went there for a look around we were impressed. The hotel is so clean, nicely decorated and the staff were so friendly and professional to deal with. We were looked after so well. The food was delicious. Our wedding package included so much, we had very little to worry about in the build up to the wedding. We were very impressed with everything. Its great to have such a high quality hotel in a local area. We would highly recommend the hotel to everyone for their wedding day.

This hotel is fantastic from the service before and on the day of the wedding to the venue itself absolutely beautiful,I have heard nothing but praise from our guests about the hotel ,the staff and the food ,I would highly recommend this hotel and again thank you to frances for all your help and to all the staff who worked hard to make it all so special ,it was one of the best days of our lives xx

We had our wedding here & there is nothing i would change! All the staff there are fantastic. Frances, Oisín & Lester all had an input into our wedding & are all wonderful at what they do! Special mention to Frances, she is without a doubt the most amazing person at what she does! She made our wedding day & we are eternally grateful x

The service we received was unreal I could not fault them. Every query was responded to in a very efficient manner. Our wedding meal was fantastic and our wedding guests all gave such high praise about the staff and the quality of the food.

We were delighted with our wedding at the Raheen Woods. Frances and the other staff were so lovely to work with from the first day we looked at the hotel. The venue was perfect on the day, especially the outdoor area as it was a lovely summer's day. The food was delicious and the waiting staff were pleasant and professional!

I genuinely could not say enough about the team at the Raheen Woods Hotel. Extremely professional and responsive. Literally took care of everything with such ease. Even the items we did not think about. Oisín and Francis are a delight to deal with and their presence on the day made everything such a pleasure.

We went to our friends wedding in the Raheen Woods a couple of years before we got engaged and left saying if we ever were to get married that would be the place for us. When we did get engaged we went into the hotel to pick up a brochure and ended up receiving a tour from Lester. He is a lovely gentleman, he will have you laughing at his stores and feeling very much at home. We later met Frances and her team at a wedding fair and actually scheduled a proper visit where we again met Lester. It was a number of weeks in the difference and he still remembered meeting us. From the moment we went to our friends wedding to now, well after having our own wedding in Raheen Woods, we would recommend this hotel to as many people as we could. Every staff member there is so friendly and down to earth, you can have great craic with them, it feels like you are over at relatives for tea while still receiving an outstanding service. The Raheen Woods is constantly stiving to improve on their fantastic quality and so we decided that we did not what to see what the reception or function room was planned to look like on the day of our wedding. There was never a worry felt in leaving it in Frances capable hands as she is an absolute gem, who always has a smile on her face and some fantastic advice you would not even think off...(our families are still raving about the ice cream outside the church). On the day we were completely blown away by the rooms. They were absolutly stunning. We received a lot of complements on how the rooms looked and not to mention the food and wines... sadly we had to tell everyone that not a single thing was done by us.. the decor was all supplied by the hotel and it was amazing. We went with the house wines suggested by Frances and Lester and have never looked back, when we pop in for dinner the odd weekend we still order the same drink as it is some of the best wine we have tasted. Frances, Lester, Marie, Oisín, Catherine, Eileen, Elaine, Lisa, Pawel, Annemarie and so many more thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for being yourselves.

We got married 3/8/19 and from the day we paid our deposit last June every single member of staff we have dealt with has been nothing but professional, helpful and absolutely brilliant in every way. Anytime of the day we emailed for anything a member of staff was always there to help. Frances & Oisin were an absolute dream and we would of been lost without them by our side, not to mention the owner Leister, what a gentleman. We can not recommend this hotel enough, whatever your needs you will be looked after! The function room was OUT OF THIS WORLD and we still have people texting us about how much they enjoyed the meal. Everything was top notch. So on that note thank you to The Raheen Woods Hotel for making our wedding day so special, you are a fantastic bunch

We planned our wedding within 5 months, Frances was exceptional in helping us. She was always willing to offer her opinion if I as stuck between 2 options. She is the nicest person and so easy to talk to. The hotel was pristine, the food was amazing and the value for money was excellent. I have given one less star on professionalism, as I feel some of the waiting staff had never worked at a wedding before, it only affected one table that our friends were sitting at. The top table however, had silver service which was a treat. I would 100% recommend the Raheen Woods Hotel to anyone thinking of booking their wedding.

We met Oisin Nevin on the 7th October 2018 after a friend told us we just had to check out the Raheen Woods Hotel as a possible venue for our upcoming wedding. The second we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and a friendly face. We briefly explained what we wanted and without hesitation or delay we were directed to a Mr Oisin Nevin. Oisin asked us what our dream day looked like, no matter how simple or extravagant, he assured us he could help us. We were shown to the ballroom/ceremony room and I was immediately struck by the hotels amazing decor and attention to detail, in every aspect. We were given copious amounts of information, more than any other establishment we had visited since becoming engaged. We left with smiles on our faces and there and then decided it was definitely the place we wanted to marry. From there on we worked with Frances Doyle together with Oisin and to say they were helpful and cooperative and informative wouldn’t do them justice. No request was was too big, no email was unanswered no call was missed. They were unbelievably accessible and always available to give me the best advice or answer any query I had . I Knew we were in good hands for our big day. On the day itself we were blown away, they literally brought our dreams to life, I didn’t have to think about a single thing, not one, as they had everything under control. Frances the life saver was not only my coordinator for the day she became my fourth bridesmaid, my stand in child minder, my photographers assistant , my relative wrangler and 100 other things all while keeping the day running smoothly and retaining a smile on her face like it was nothing, I genuinely don’t know how she does it but she deserves all the recognition for her amazing work, they both do. Oisin I soon learned ran the smoothest sailing ship when it came time to our reception, the staff at the Raheen Woods Hotel are like no other I’ve encountered. Each and every guest at our wedding commented on how they couldn’t do enough for them as they glided around the ballroom. Oisin and Francis made sure we were at ease and relaxed 100% of the time and our two girls who were our flower girls were made to feel like princesses. I would highly recommend Raheen Woods Hotel to any future bride and groom, but I recommend Oisin and Frances more if that’s even possible. We were incredibly lucky to have them as our guides on this momentous occasion and I’m proud to call myself a Raheen Woods Hotel Bride.

We had our wedding reception at the Raheen Woods Hotel on the 14th of June. We were impressed from day one when we met Lester and he took us through everything the hotel has to offer. It certainly did not disappoint and we are so delighted we chose the Raheen Woods Hotel for our wedding reception. Frances, our co-ordinator was a dream to work with, nothing was too much of an ask. Leading up to the wedding she gave us very valuable advice on the little details that you wouldn't have even thought of and was brilliant on the day itself ensuring everything was perfect and we and all our guests had everything we needed. The hotel itself is beautiful with a separate entrance and lobby exclusive to the wedding party and was very tastefully decorated for our wedding. The gardens are fabulous and the outdoor seating was welcomed on the sunny afternoon. The food was exceptional and the service provided by Frances, Oisin and all the staff on the day was superb. They were so professional, approachable and friendly. This has all been reiterated again and again to us by many of our wedding guests. The bar was well staffed with experienced bartenders and a prompt service which was so important to us. We would like to thank you for making our special day so amazing and relaxed and we highly recommend the Raheen Woods to any couple looking for the perfect venue. Regina & Declan

I found them very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to do all they could for us.

From the first meeting with Frances, we knew the Raheen Woods Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. There is such a welcoming, friendly atmosphere in this beautiful hotel. The service we received from start to finish was second to none. Frances and her team went above and beyond to fulfill any requirements we had. All our guests enjoyed everything about the hotel. We would highly recommend any newly engaged couple to consider the Raheen Woods Hotel. Thank you Frances, Lester and all the team for making our day so special. Kelley, John and Millie Mullins x

We had on our wedding here in April. From the moment we met Frances we knew that our wedding would be everything we wanted. Along with the whole team at the hotel she went above and beyond to give us the perfect day. We were delighted with the planning and support we received in the months leading up to our wedding. Any queries we had were responded to very quickly and Frances gave great advice during our preparations. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

Have been to many a wedding and functions at the Raheen Woods Hotel and apart from the great food, great staff, grounds and decor, cleanliness is top class especially the bathrooms which is what I usually judge standards by.

Couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. From beginning to end frances and the team were amazing. Our every need was met and the food was also fantastic...so much so we go back regularly now for dinner. I would highly reccomend

Fantastic experience from start to finish in helping us organised our wedding. Very stress free and accommodating with all our needs. The meal was fantastic. Would highly recommend The Raheen Woods

Dear frances, We had our wedding in the Raheen Woods Hotel on 27/07/13 and we had an absolutely amazing day! We booked our wedding in September 2012 and for the 10 months leading up to the wedding Frances, our wedding coordinator couldn't do enough for us, providing us with "to do" lists and various contact numbers, making the build up to the wedding as stress free as possible! As we veered closer to the wedding Frances was ringing to see how we were getting on with the planning and if she could help us in anyway. On the day of the wedding from the moment we entered the hotel, we couldn't have wished it to be anymore perfect. All the staff couldn't do enough for us which made me feel like a princess and the room was decorated to perfection. The food was truly amazing. The compliments we received off our guests were all positive and they all thoroughly enjoyed their day too!!! We cannot thank Frances and the rest of the staff for all they done for our wedding, making it the perfect day for us! We would recommend this hotel to any of our friends in the future and we will be back to ye for future occassions. Thanking Francis and the holel staff.
