Having been to previous weddings as guest's at the Raheen Woods Hotel and enjoyed the day's, my husband and I decided we would enquire for our own upcoming wedding.
From the initial enquiry right up to the day itself the staff at the Raheen Woods Hotel were fantastic. We met with Oisín the wedding co-ordinator he was so helpful going through wedding packages and even had recommendations for other supplier's and vendor's needed for the day. He was extremely knowledgeable in his role and was very helpful with every and any questions we had.
Communication with the staff was so easy and prompt on every occasion. Lisa was amazing, she worked with us for our menu choices our meal tasting, allocation of rooms and also our table settings. She was a wealth of knowledge and so helpful with lots of questions and suggestions we had.
On the day itself we had Lester and Catherine with us, and all I need is one word, unbelievable!! They made an absolutely outstanding team. Absolutely everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for better both were so helpful, kind and just wonderful on the day they couldn't do enough for us. Catherine had just the warmest presence, she was incredible in her role she was by our side from early to late. Nothing was to much to ask, and she just knew what we needed and how to help even before we did. If you are fortunate enough to have them with you on your day, it will literally be a dream come true with their efforts!
The food was delicious, such an extensive menu to choose from. It was a highlight of our day, all of our guests were delighted with their meal and everyone was catered for, from vegan to allergies. The food was a big positive talking point even after the day!
The staff at the Raheen Woods are so efficient at their roles. The waiting staff were so friendly, accommodating and nice. The bar staff were lovely helpful, very quick and tidy. We couldn't have had any better.
We would both highly recommend The Raheen Woods Hotel Athenry for your wedding day celebration. From the lovely modern decor, beautifully kept gardens and all round amazing staff, you wouldn't be disappointed it's a great choice!
Thank you all for such a memorable day, we will forever cherish.

We had the most incredible experience at Raheen Woods! The venue itself is beautiful and elegant. It was the ideal backdrop for our wedding, with the woods being a perfect area for the sparklers and photos.
But what truly made our day unforgettable were Oisin and Catherine. These two went above and beyond to make us feel so incredibly special. From our first meeting, they took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Whether it was handling last-minute changes, coordinating with vendors, or simply offering a kind word of reassurance the morning of.
No ask was too big or small for them—they made everything happen with a smile. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the day went off without a hitch. Their seamless coordination allowed us to relax and enjoy every single moment. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making our day as perfect as possible.
If you're looking for a wedding venue and team that truly cares about you and your day, I can’t recommend Raheen Woods enough. Thank you, Oisin and Catherine, for making our wedding day a truly rememberable day!

Oisin and all of the team were incredible to deal with from the minute we booked until the minute we checked out. All of our guests said how kind and caring and willing to help every staff member was as well as the food and drink being amazing. When we booked our wedding it was in tje height of covid and a time where businesses were really struggling but oisin made us feel so welcome and didn't put on pressure on us. He was himself and continued to be that way Al the way through our 2 years of planning. Nothing was too much hassle or effort for any of the staff. We were truly grateful and thrilled we chose Raheen Woods as out venue and would highly recommend it to anyone. We'll certainly be back for more family occasions.

Stunning wedding venue with beautiful modern interior. Fabulous grounds as well for your wedding photos. Delicious tasty food. Super friendly staff that go above and beyond to cater for your needs. Oisin has been a big part of helping us plan our big day, he has been a great help and is truly passionate about what he does. He is very attentive to what we want and makes our lives a lot easier as wedding planning can be highly stressful. Our big day is coming up in September and we can't wait for the staff of Raheen woods to be apart of it.

From start to finish the Raheen woods were top class. There was nothing too big or too small for them. They really made us feel at ease and I have to say Oisin is top quality, he really is amazing at his job. We are so delighted we picked the Raheen woods. I really couldn't put into words how grateful we are to all the staff! I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to have a wedding. From the decor to the food to the service, they really are the elite when it comes to weddings. Thank you so much to Oisin and all the staff!

I have a background in hospitality and many years of hotel experience and I cannot fault a single thing at Raheen Woods Hotel.
We have been there for many an occasion and the food and service is always perfect.
Anthony Lyons and I both knew from the day of Anthonys brothers wedding there 5 years ago, that that's where our wedding would be. It was a no brainer, the week we got engaged the first person we rang was Ois?n.
Things have only improved in the hotel so if you?re looking for somewhere to host your occasion (especially a wedding) you won't be disappointed with The Raheen Woods
You?ll be sure to see us there for many more years to come

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.

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 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 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, Ois?n, 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 got married in raheen woods hotel in Athenry in August this year all I can say is I'm sad it's all over and I'd love to do it all over again it was an amazing day we will never forget and we will always have a fond memory of getting married in the Raheen Woods .The hotel did a beautiful job on the day of our wedding and everything ran like clockwork.Trevor was at a friend's wedding in this hotel a few years previous and raved about the food and the wedding he attended and always said he'd love our wedding to be there because it was local and the amazing food and a fabalous hotel ...when we went for our wedding tasting I could see what Trevor meant the food as unbelievable and the attention to detail was second to none...when it came down to it we wanted a wedding where everyone of our friends relations and family could come to nearby and especially because my mum had been so sick the year previous I wanted her to be there as she wouldn't of being able to travel long distance where we had originally thought we might get married but I have to say I'm so glad Trevor picked this hotel for our wedding it was so special to have everyone close and special to us there and there is something special about the raheen woods we felt from the start...a hotel is a hotel but the staff makes it and we picked oisin and Frances as our wedding co ordinators ...Oisin gave us great advice ideas and is a gentleman it was lovely to deal with someone young and in the know of different wedding trends he even gave me a bottle of my favourite wine as a gift at one of our wedding meetings which I thought was a very cute touch when I was bit stressed at the wedding planning at the time and I left feeling happy and less stressed with all oisin advice ...Frances gave us great advice on lead up to wedding day and was great for advice on the day and helped me with my dress which in fairness she didn't have to do but did anyway and gave me tips and advice on the day which made me feel relaxed..when I look back on the video wedding guests look chilled out happy and having fun and that's all we wanted was a fun day ...any problems that arose on day oisin sorted for us if we needed him ..new smoking area/ garden was done in time for our wedding and we were delighted as it was such a sunny day everyone was chilling out outside and was happy out..flowers garden ect everything looked so pretty ...we look forward to going back to raheen woods for anniversaries birthdays and many more many happy memories to come ...we added draping and centrepieces and some decor to hotel an we were blown away when we walked into hotel wedding room so if you want yo add your own style or individual taste you can to but if not hotel do pretty options too ...they did flowers on our tables and they did beautifull job...this hotel will always have a special place in our hearts; we had a very relaxing fun day at the raheen woods and so did our guests arrival food processo ect decor wedding menu table plan all beautiful and classy what more could you ask for I'd recommended this hotel to anyone who wants a local and special and amazing wedding day and something special that stands out from the rest this hotel is personal and o loved the way they made so feel so special ..this wedding venue was hugely popular this year and we attended my friend's wedding here which was fabalous too...and I know of two other people who got married in this venue and they all loved it so it goes without saying I wish anyone planning a wedding in this hotel the most amazing day of their lives and a one to remember

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had been to the Raheen for other weddings and dinners before and the food has always been top tear. When it came to looking for venues we viewed other hotels but no where seemed to cater for everything we wanted. From the moment we had our first meeting in the Raheen and had a tour around we knew 100% this was the venue for our wedding.
Oisin, Catherine, Lauren and all the staff were so accommodating. We had some non traditional aspects we wanted to add to our day and no request was too big or too small for the team. Oisin kept in contact with us in the lead up to the wedding, which was lovely! And even advised on other local vendors, Ideas he had seen before that he thought would suit the vision for our day and was always reachable when we needed him.
We had a small ceremony of immediate family first and held the reception with approx. 130 afterwards. We were very go with the flow couple, we knew some important things we definitely wanted and didn't care too much about the rest. The whole team was great for advice but never once overstepped and made us feel so calm in the lead up and on the day.
They were very accommodating with our ideas for ceremony and dinner layouts. They did everything they could to give us the day we dreamed of. They gave us such a feeling that they had everything under control and we could just sit back and truly enjoy our day.
The Food is always just WOW in there. No matter if you are there for a huge wedding or just popping in for your Sunday dinner, The service and quality is amazing every time. They catered for allergies on the day, coeliac and lactose free guests without making a fuss or drawing attention which was fantastic.
The layout of the hotel is fabulous, It was so nice having a separate entrance to the 'ceremony/ reception area' and away from the main reception desk to the hotel. It meant we had some privacy from other holiday goers and guests to the hotel. The gardens are amazing during the day but it all lit up at night was stunning.
All our guests were delighted with their rooms and all very grateful that the hotel adjusted the breakfast time for us the next day. Nothing was too expensive, The team worked with our budget and had flexible packages to suit every kind of wedding. Truthfully I would have paid double what we did for the service and kindness we received from everyone.
We cannot wait to return for another stay at this hotel soon. Having our wedding here was the best decision we made and I am so glad we get to think of Oisin, Catherine and the team every time we think of our day now. Would not have changed a thing!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you,
We are Forever Grateful
