Salthill Hotel

An absolutely beautiful venue inside and out. The recently added Orangery is a fabulous venue for reception drinks and even as an option for day 2. The food and service on the wedding day and day 2 was great. A special shout out to Marco and Blanca.

Unfortunately, for couples looking at the venue, I'd be hesitant based on the staff turnover. We dealt with 6 people from booking our wedding in June 2022 and April 24 with little handover in terms of service level. Also, after check out on day 2 a number of our bags with sentimental value went missing which really tainted our weekend.

Great

We got married on the 20th of May in Salthill Hotel and the day could not have gone any better.
While planning we always received a quick response for our wedding planners and anything we asked for was accommodated.
The actual day ran so smoothly thanks to the professionalism of the Salthill Hotel staff. The food was amazing, guests are still talking about the mash potatoes. The night manager (so sorry I can't remember his name) was brilliant the night of wedding and night of day 2, anything we asked of him he done.
We could not recommend the hotel enough, perfect venue for a wedding. Thanks to Michelle and all the staff, we can't wait to return for a night away.

We had our wedding on the 12th February 2022 and we both couldn't recommend the hotel enough. Their professionalism, organisation and attention to detail was second to none. Anything we requested we received and zero issues on the day.
All the guests complimented the food- it was beautiful. The hotel is right on the prom and is in a brilliant location for guests staying a few days. The staff are so helpful, friendly and couldn't do enough for us over the entire weekend.
I am so glad we chose the Salthill Hotel for our wedding and we had the most amazing day! Memories to last a lifetime!!
Siobhan was our wedding co-ordinator and was fantastic throughout all the planning, patient and so lovely to work with. Thanks Siobhan for everything,

From Start to Finish the Salthill Hotel has been amazing. Given the dificulties of having a wedding during covid, Siobhan, Pauline and Catherine all helped put our minds at ease which with all the help they provided us, led to an amazing day! Everyone went out of there way to make the day memorable. All the staff working in all areas of the hotel, weather reservations/night porters or waiting/bar staff, always had a friendly smile on their face and very pleasant to deal with. The food was amazing on the day and the decor was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be recommending the Salthill to anyone who's looking for a wedding venue which provides consistent support and an amazing unforgettable day! Thank again for everything!

I cannot recommend the Salthill Hotel enough! From start to finish they were just excellent. We booked the venue 2 years before our wedding and although in that time there were a few changes of wedding coordinators, it was Siobh?n and her team who coordinated our wedding on the day. The lead up to the wedding, like all other couples at the minute, was very uncertain but Siobh?n was always there to answer any questions we had and to reassure us that our day would be special no matter what the numbers were like. The food was fantastic and all the staff could not have been more helpful! The room was decorated beautifully and the garden beside the hotel was brilliant for photos! We had the most amazing day with our close family. We wouldn't change a thing about how the day went. If you are thinking about booking the Salthill hotel for your wedding reception definitely do!! We would highly recommend it.

From start to finish Lorraine was friendly, easy going and a delight to deal with. She never had any issue when questions where asked of her or the hotel. We had the best wedding day we could have asked for despite of restrictions and the hotel is fabulous particularly the location if you like being by the sea like we do. We would highly recommend the Salthill Hotel and Lorraine for other engaged couples, our wedding guests along with ourselves could not fault the service.

Lorraine and the staff at the Salthill Hotel made our wedding day everything and more than we could have ever imagined. We will be forever grateful for everything they did for us on and in the lead up to our special day. Lorraine's attention to detail is phenomenal. She is absolutely amazing at her job. I felt I could rely on her 100% and both Jason and I knew our wedding day was in good hands from the 1st time we met her. We truly had the most wonderful day - the best day of our lives. Everything was exceptional and I don't say that lightly! Our guests are still complementing the beautiful food, the amazing staff and the overall atmosphere in the hotel. If only we could go back and relive the day one more time. It's no wonder the Salthill Hotel is Galway's best hotel for weddings! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Lorraine and all the staff, we will be forever grateful to you all.

We got married here almost a month ago and we are still getting texts and emails from people telling us about how much they enjoyed the day! The food, service, staff were excellent and they accommodated in anyway possible with changes to the menu etc. We had a few hitches the day before and morning of the wedding with guests and Keava & Dominique stepped in to sort everything for us. There is nothing I would change and couldn't recommend the Salthill hotel highly enough.

Everything we needed was there. Both our families stayed here and had the best time.

This hotel is amazing the staff were just incredible Hazel, Steph & Pauline just to mention a few we can't thank them enough nothing was too much trouble the food and service we had was second to none, Thanks to all for making our day so special.

Hazel is amazing. So professional & a pleasure to deal with. We got a cancellation date in the salthill hotel as our original wedding venue closed down. We were stressed and only had 12 weeks to rearrange everything. Hazel put us at ease and everything is in order for this weekend. I would highly recommend this hotel as a wedding venue. Beautiful garden for photos & really nice food. Also great wedding packages available.

Everyone we had the opportunity to work with at Salthill Hotel was so helpful and flexible. Planning a wedding overseas is not easy but Hazel and her team really made us feel comfortable with all our decisions. The day itself was seamless and so fun!! Thank you so much for an unforgettable reception!

We are so glad we chose Salthill hotel as our wedding venue. From the first day we viewed the venue the service we have received has been amazing. Hazel the wedding coordinator was amazing throughout and making sure everything ran seamlessly on the day. She was always so quick at responding to any questions we had and ensured that we were well taken care of. The food on the day was delicious and our guests commented on how impressed they were with both the food and service. The staff were so accommodating throughout the weekend and made it such an enjoyable experience for ourselves and our guests. Thanks so much for everything.

We were delighted with how our day turned out. Hazel, our wedding coordinator was so easy to deal with and very responsive to all of our emails and requests. The food was beautiful on the day of our wedding from the canapes on arrival, to our three course meal, the fish and chips cones and sandwiches in the evening, and the finger food in the residents bar later in the night. The steak is definitely worth considering when you are deciding on your menu. It was cooked medium to well which suited majority of people's preference. We received so many compliments on how well it tasted and how nice it was to see it on the menu.

Hazel was very accommodating to all of our requests. She emphasised that the day was all about ensuring that we were happy with every small detail. Millennium Park which is located beside the hotel is an ideal location for taking some pictures, as well as out on the Prom. It saved so much time for us as there was no travelling required.

Overall we were delighted with how everything went for the entire day. Many of our guests informed us that they had gone out to reception after meal to give their feedback on how happy they were with the food. That was great for us to hear.

We had our civil ceremony and reception in the Salthill Hotel in February 2019. We had originally been dealing with a different planner/management team at the start of our wedding planning but in the months before the wedding we had the pleasure of working with the new management team-Hazel and Steph.

From start to finish on our wedding day Hazel and Steph made the experience excellent beyond our highest expectations. They outdid themselves with the support and professionalism they demonstrated on the day-from calming us down before we walked in to the ceremony, through to ensuring the music ran smoothly during it and that rest of the day ran smoothly too.

Overall the hotel staff were also excellent-the lady at reception (with the dark hair and glasses) whose name has escaped me was a pleasure to deal with in particular, as too were the breakfast room staff (especially Jean ), the girls who attended to the top table on the wedding day and the waiting staff, the restaurant manager and some of the other managers we met over the few days we stayed in the hotel.

The food and presentation on the wedding day was fantastic-we had just under 270 guests and they were all delighted with the quality and quantity of the food and wine and the prompt service.

Overall our experience was very positive and we would recommend the hotel with its current management team to others considering it as a wedding venue.

We had the most loveliest build up to the day. On the day staff so helpful and excellent service. Food amazing so much to eat. Would love to do all over again

Hi there,

I was allocated a double room with the Salthill Hotel as part of the Wedding Party. I confirmed this double room with Gabriella in reservations when booking. The week before the wedding, I was contacted once again to confirm the double room which was perfectly fine.

The problem lay with the day of check-in. I asked my partner,Rebecca (who was mentioned twice on the booking when confirming with reservations) to check-in as I was away with the wedding party. My partner asked to check-in and was dealing with Eileen. ("EIL" was the cashier code on our receipt). She was asked by the receptionist countless times "Do you want a twin room instead of a double room?" and "are you sure that you want a double room instead of a twin?" These questions and requests made Rebecca feel extremely uncomfortable and has never been met with such questions before in any other hotel in Ireland or internationally. Other guests that were in the queue behind my partner overheard this conversation and were shocked and appalled that she was repeatedly asked these questions over and over again.

I mentioned this to the on-duty receptionist the next day on check-out who apologized for the actions of the receptionist who was not on duty on Sunday 13th October.

This is not acceptable in an era where Ireland has embraced and still celebrates equality.

The Salthill Hotel were fantastic to work with from the very beginning. We were planning our wedding from the UK which wasn't always easy but the staff always made the experience as smooth as possible. They were always very responsive to our emails and flexible to met with us when we were home for weekends. In the lead up to the wedding Hazel, our wedding planner was just fantastic. She took any chore of my to do list that herself or the team could do, she designed our table plan and menus, put our macaroon cake together, decorated the venue and function room with our wedding decor to such a high standards, she was just amazing. On the day Patrick, Pauline and the team took great care of us, giving us everything we had asked for and more. The food and wine was delicious and plentiful. We truly had an amazing experience and look forward to returning for our anniversary!

From beginning to end the service provided by staff and wedding team, in particular Hazel, Patrick and Darius was fantastic. With living overseas, the team were brilliant with communicating and making the process easy. The function room, the food, the decor and facilities were impeccable - Highly recommend Salthill Hotel to anyone.

I just want to thank Steph, Rachel, Pauline and the entire team at Salthill hotel for helping us make our wedding day special. They really are as a hotel excellent at what they do and everyone from Steph,Rachel and Pauline to the servers, Jean and the breakfast servers, Ciara and the receptionists,bar staff, security,porters etc
They were all amazing and their customer service was second to none.
Thank you all for making our weekend so memorable and looking forward to coming back to see you all in future.

Darius, Kerry,Pauline, Patrick and the entire team at Salthill Hotel were extremely helpful from start to finish. The quality of food and service on the day of our wedding was exceptional. We would highly recommend the Salthill Hotel for a wedding venue.

Wow....Thats all my Husband and I can say about the staff,service and everything about the salthill hotel. We had our wedding reception on the 2nd february 2018 and Darius, Pauline and all the staff of the salthill hotel made it an incredible experience for us. Nothing was too much. We had the best fun and the food was unforgetable. We couldn't recommend the salthill hotel any higher for anyone looking for a wedding reception venue.

The salthill hotel helped make our very special day flawless, the level of service and quality of the entire day was perfect. I highly recommend the salthill hotel if you want your special day to be effortless. Special mention to Darius and Pauline who managed our day to perfection.

Hi Valerie

Just a quick message to say thank you for all your help in organising our wedding. We had an excellent day on Saturday which would not have been possible without the help and advice given to us by yourself, Pauline and the team at the hotel. The food on the night was lovely and numerous guests commented on the quality of it, and the service received throughout the hotel.

From the second we arrived at the hotel we were looked after and the day flowed seamlessly thanks to the efforts made by the staff - Dara and I didn't have to worry about anything, all pressure was taken off. The cheese and port stand went down a treat, a number of my friends are looking to steal the idea!

Thanks again for everything.

We had our wedding here in September and could not fault a thing! We were absolutely delighted with how the day went and the service given by Valerie and Pauline on the day and in the months leading up to the day was second to none. All our guests were raving about the hotel - the function room, the food, the staff were all impeccable. We had a day to remember and we cannot thank the staff in the Salthill hotel enough.

Wow Wedding Venue!!! Wedding Coordinator Valerie was excellent helping us plan our day. And |nothing was a problem, everything was sorted promptly.. Pauline was wonderful on the day.All the staff are superb. All Our guests were happy and that was very important for us.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Food was delicious !!!! Leisure facilities are great. Overall would highly recommend Salthill hotel to any newly engaged couples. Top class wedding Venue!!!!!

We cant say enough about the Salthill hotel and its staff especially the events team. We dealt mainly with Valarie & Pauline.

They took care of all of our needs and queries from the first minute we met them when we were researching hotels for our wedding. From previous experience from attending weddings at the Salthill hotel it was always our preferred choice of wedding venue. It didn't disappoint.

The service we received in the lead up to the wedding , the day of the wedding and the day after was exceptional. No request was to big or to small for Valarie and the team. They accommodated us at every turn and we will be eternally grateful for that.

All our guest were very impressed with the hotel, staff, food and service. We also got fantastic food and service the day after our wedding when we held an after party in the Prom Bar.

Valarie, Pauline and the team were also very reassuring in the lead up to the wedding. Their kind and calm words were always very welcome and we very much appreciated them.

I can not recommend the Salthil Hotel enough to any perspective Bride and Groom. You wont be disappointed.

Thanks a million again.

Claire & David

Best place in galway to have a wedding. I honestly could not have asked for more from pauline and her team. Food, service, everything was perfect!

I cannot recommend the team highly enough as they responded so promptly to our million little queries throughout the year. The service was so personable & it really made our lives so much easier. The food, function room, reception displays, rooms, customer service to check in etc was fantastic & all our guests enjoyed every minute! Highy highly recommend the Salthill hotel!!

People told me how good the Salthill Hotel reputation was and STILL I was blown away on our wedding day. Our wedding guests commented so much on the level of service from every single member of staff, the food, the drink, the d?cor. For me as a bride I really got such help from the team at the Salthill hotel and they think of everything.If you want to spend absolutely none of your time worrying about the reception portion of your wedding and ALL of your time actually enjoying it then choose the Salthill Hotel. It's the best decision you will make about your wedding.
