Shamrock Lodge Hotel

We would like to thank the Shamrock Lodge Hotel from the bottom of our hearts for the most amazing experience for our wedding reception on the 10th December 2022. From the moment we booked our wedding Paddy, Alan, Rebecca and all the extended team showed us nothing but top notch service and went above and beyond to make our day so so special. Fiona & James Conheady.

I’m not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The Lodge, I knew we had found the best venue for our wedding after meeting Alan the owner & Warren the manager. To begin with, Alan & Warren were very attentive & genuinely wanted to make our event perfect. They listened to my ideas, vision and helped us find the perfect options for us. Honestly, absolutely everything they provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy, they made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most special day. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. Deborah the reservation manager was amazing as we had many room changes etc. The drinks reception was well arranged as we had a large number of guests attending our wedding. The main ballroom was dazzling & the backdrop, recommended by Alan was really appealing to the eye. The plated meals and their presentation were outstanding, everyone was so impressed with the food & service. During the reception, the staff were amazing and kind to everyone, and treated us, literally, like royalty. Our friends and family raved for weeks about how incredible everything was, saying it was the perfect mix of class and unpretentiousness. Even my 8 year old daughter could not believe the quality of everything and has declared she wants to have her communion in the Shamrock Lodge. I cannot recommend this venue, and all of its staff, enough. I wish we could do it all again at The Shamrock Lodge. A million thanks to Alan, Warren, Deborah & all the staff for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Both us and our guests were blown away by the service, and staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. It’s no wonder that it is the most renowned hotel in the midlands when it comes to weddings. From start to finish they have been so warm, accommodating, dedicated and professional. Our guests are still talking about the service! It stands apart from the rest and it should be everyone’s top choice for their wedding because both you and your guests will be so well looked after!

We had our Wedding in the Shamrock Lodge on the 17/09/22. From the day we booked our Wedding, Alan, Paddy, Warren Mary, Deborah and all the Staff were always on hand to answer any questions we had and also gave us great advice. Our Wedding Day was everything we wanted and more, we cannot thank the Shamrock Lodge enough. Deborah & Brian Coffey

We cannot thank all the management & Staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough for everything they did for us in the lead up to our Wedding. The whole team were a pleasure to deal with. The day itself was perfect from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. All our family and friends commented on how good the food & service was. The hotel was the one aspect of the day we knew we did not need to worry about as the staff had it all under control. It truly is one family looking after another. We would not hesitate to recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the future, it's 100% the best decision we made.

We had a fantastic day. The venue was perfect. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was really top class and plenty of it. Overall we were very happy with our wedding day celebration at The Shamrock Lodge.

We had our wedding day at the Shamrock Lodge Athlone. It was a fantastic day. The hotel staff were amazing throughout the whole planning of the day and the running of the day. Mary and the team are fantastic at settling your nerves and making you feel comfortable. Nothing was ever an issue from the first meeting we had with Alan to book our dates with him. Very much a family vibe and feeling about the place. All our guests have commented that it was one of the best wedding venues they had attended, and the food was amazing. If we can recommend anything, it would be more of that amazing veg soup on the menu. 5 courses of that would have gone down just as good. 10 star rating for everything.

After 4 date changes we got married on 18th August 2022. Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. From the start of our planning they made us feel so relaxed and no request was ever too much for them. We can't recommend the Lodge enough for any couples planning on getting married. Everyone complimented the food and service that day. We had a brilliant 3 days at the hotel. Thanking you so much again. Tracie Duffy & Alan Earle

I cannot recommend Alan and his staff enough. Alan has been a dream to work with from the first time I rang him to have a look at the hotel. Everything went so smoothly both in the run up and on the day of the wedding. His staff are a credit to him, each one of them were so polite and helpful. If you want a wedding day that will run smoothly and you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the day then 100% book your wedding with Alan or Mary in the Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. The beautiful grounds are a major plus for pictures or for the small ones to play the day away.

Recently had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge, Paddy, Alan & staff went above and beyond to make our day special. We highly recommend any couple who are thinking of getting married to check out the Shamrock Lodge.

Where do I begin with with the Shamrock Lodge Hotel ..... We got married there in July 2022 and absolutely everything went perfect. All the staff in the Lodge are so helpful. From Paddy, Alan, Warren and Mary to all reception, bar, serving and housekeeping staff, they are honestly so accommodating and helpful. I can honestly say I didn't have to worry about anything, their calm and happy demeanor is really felt and remembered, you know you're in good hands. Nothing was too much to ask Mary or any of the lads. The food is always absolutely unreal. It really is a special family hotel and they make you and yours feel part of theirs! We would without a doubt recommend the Shamrock Lodge, we have already and will continue to into the future.

We would like to thank The Shamrock Lodge Hotel from the bottom of our hearts for the most amazing experience for our wedding reception on the 8th of July. From the moment we booked our wedding Paddy, Alan, Mary and all the extended team showed us nothing but top notch service and went above and beyond to make our day so so special. Thank you all once again and keep doing ye because it's just perfect and amazing. Christine & Kevin Geoghegan

If you are considering a homely feel but yet stylish hotel for your wedding, then look no further than The Shamrock Lodge. The family run hotel provides an outstanding warm welcome from every member of staff. Management and employees went above and beyond to ensure we were positively informed with consistency throughout our two postponed wedding dates. From emails to calls, no wedding request from us as a couple went unnoticed, responses were prompt, friendly and highly considerate to our needs. The reassurance and comfort we received while planning and rescheduling eased the stressful process for us massively. We cannot thank the management and staff enough for making the journey but more importantly our special day a memorable one. Our wedding day is continually talked about by our guests, from the service, greetings upon arrival, the quality meal we received and the accommodation, the hospitality is outstanding. Many guests had not attended a function in the venue previous to our wedding and now without hesitation, they will return for either a special occasion, family function or the fabulous food provided on a daily basis. The stunning gardens provided a backdrop for our beautiful photos and video, memories to last a lifetime. The wedding packages are reasonable, affordable and adaptable to suit your personal needs. We want to give a personal thank you to the management and employees who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a continuous basis, to Paddy, Alan, Mary, Warren, Jason, Debbie and Nicola, you all are the forefront of a brilliant team. Wishing you all the best in the future. Caroline and Aidan Scully.

Absolutely amazing! From start to finish the hotel was so accommodating we couldn’t thank them enough. From the wedding coordinator to the waitstaff everyone was so lovely. We had no issues with anything as whatever we wanted or needed was taken care of straight away. Our guests are still talking about our wedding weeks later, especially the food. This was stunning! We are so sad our day is over, but thanks to the hotel and it’s amazing staff it is a day that has left us with zero regrets. If we could do it all over again we would definitely pick the Shamrock Lodge to do that. We don’t have enough words and will be forever grateful for such a special day.

To Alan, Paddy, Warren, Mary and all staff in the Shamrock Lodge. Myself and James will never be able to say thank you enough for helping to make our wedding day so amazing. There was nothing that couldn't be done or that was too much trouble, from having to postpone a couple of times due to covid we finally got our dream day on Saturday the 11th of June 2022. From the moment we booked with Alan to the day itself, Alan was always on hand and only a phone call away, It really was one family looking after another. The staff, customer service and attention to detail was amazing and we cannot thank you enough. We would highly recommend this hotel to any future brides and grooms your day will be made so special xx

Guys we really cannot thank and recommend this venue enough! Our day was so special as the staff in the Lodge went above and beyond to make it magical…..anything we requested they went out of their way to provide and the communication throughout was second to none. Their staff were so friendly, efficient and helpful and we had a day we will never forget. From the bottoms of our hearts we thank Paddy and the team for an exceptional job to help make our day so memorable ?? Dean & Mairead

We held our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel at the end of May this year. From the moment we had our initial meeting with Warren way back at the start of 2020 we knew it was the venue for us! Unfortunately due to COVID we had to postpone the date and the hotel could not have been more accommodating. I cannot speak highly enough of the service that we received from Alan and his team, every member of staff we spoke to along the way was so friendly and helpful. There is very much a family feel to the hotel and they cannot do enough for you to make your day special, from accommodating those personalised requests to answering numerous emails along the way! We got blessed with the weather on the day, and without any issue the hotel allowed us to make that last minute decision to have our drinks reception moved to the garden and had it beautifully set-up for when our guests arrived. The dinner and timeliness of service on the day was also excellent, although I would expect nothing less as they are well known in the area for the quality of food on offer. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to anyone thinking of getting married in the Midlands, my only disappointment is that we can't do it all over again!! :) A sincere thank you to Paddy, Alan and all the team at the Lodge.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our special day. From the initial wedding booking right up to when we checked out the day after the wedding, Mary, Jason, Paddy and the rest of the staff at the Lodge looked after us impeccably. We had a few requests regarding menu adaptations and personalizing the room with our own decorations and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few guests with special dietary requirements (diabetic, vegetarian etc.) and they were well looked after on the day in terms of food and drink as were all of our other guests. The day itself ran so smoothly and stress free due to the efforts of Mary, Jason and the entire staff. They never stopped all day ensuring that everything was perfect. The hotel was spotless clean, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the staff were so welcoming and the food (and portion sizes!) was absolutely out of this world. Their grounds make the absolute perfect backdrop for your wedding photos and we didn't even need to go off site to get them. The gardens and surroundings are so well kept and our photos came out beautiful because of this. Our guests are still raving about the whole day and have said it was the best wedding they've been to. We'd highly recommend booking your wedding here, you won't be disappointed. This was our third wedding date due to the pandemic and throughout the rescheduling process and uncertainty, Mary couldn't have been more helpful or understanding. They really take their slogan of "Let our family look after yours" so seriously and execute it perfectly. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Shamrock Lodge for making our wedding day exactly how we envisioned it and MORE!! (If we could give this hotel more than 5 stars, we would!)

I couldn’t rate the Shamrock Lodge Hotel highly enough! Everybody involved in our wedding from start to finish was amazing! A special thanks to Alan, Mary and Warren who were so accommodating and welcoming. Nothing was too much! The service and food on the day were fantastic. We had such a fabulous day. Ciara & Paul.

We would highly recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel as a venue for your wedding. From day 1, the staff were so helpful. No request was too big or small. Paddy, Alan & Mary were so happy to help us with anything we needed. Our special day ran so smoothly, thanks to all the staff. The excellent food & efficient service made our day perfect. The beautiful venue and gardens were perfect to capture our happy moments.

Myself and my husband decided to get married in the shamrock lodge as nearly all big events in both of our families have been held here so it was very close to us. The staff are absolutely brilliant at their jobs and would help with anything you asked. Alan and Warren were the main two in helping us organise our special day and they both went above and beyond, the ceremony room was just beautiful and the dinner reception was amazing (can never go wrong with their food). You see most couples on there wedding day totally stressed out but I can guarantee that won't happen with this amazing team, I would highly recommend getting married in the shamrock lodge absolute quality service and not just to the newly married couple but to all their guests!!

Myself and Colin couldn't have had a better wedding day. Paddy, Alan, Warren and all staff in the Shamrock Lodge were so attentive to us and guests throughout the day. There was nothing that couldn't be done. We asked, we got. It really is a family affair. One family looking after another. I could not recommend the Shamrock Lodge enough for future brides and grooms xx

From the time we got engaged, it was certain that we both wanted to marry in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. The BEST family run hotel in the town of Athlone!!!!! Daniel & myself got married on 29th April 2022. From the time we met Alan, Paddy Warren, Mary & their class team nothing was a chore for us. We instantly felt a sense of family homely warm vibes. Nothing was a problem, anything we wanted to know about, whether it be about entertainment to table signs to food, it was answered straight away, and everything was facilitated for. From the entrance we received on our wedding day, to the gorgeous Shamrock Lodge grounds, to the ballroom, to the unbelievable food. (And so much food :) :) ). To the accommodation, it was simply magical. We and our guests felt right at home on the day of our wedding. Alan and his team went above and beyond for us. It's a day & night we will never forget. Our family and friends are still complimenting the delicious food and the excellent service that was provided on the day. In their words "one of the best wedding venues they have attended, with the best food there is". If you are beginning out on your wedding journey and planning your special day. If you do nothing else, check out the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. It'll be the easiest decision you make. We rate this Hotel 10/10 for everything. What we would do, to do it all again. :) Alan, Paddy, Mary & all the Shamrock Lodge family. Thank you again!!! Your Newly weds Sinéad & Daniel Sammon xx

We could not recommend The Shamrock Lodge enough for a wedding venue. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Alan and the team were a pleasure to deal with and on the day they couldn't do enough for us. All of our guests commented on the quality of the food which was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The Shamrock Lodge is a fantastic venue for any couple looking for a professional but relaxed environment for their wedding day.

Amazing place for a wedding!!!! We just got married here in April and I cannot recommend it enough. My now husband is local to Athlone but I am not so I had never attended a wedding here before. From the first meeting with Alan what appealed to me most was how relaxed it all felt there and that’s exactly how the wedding day went. It is a great location, with beautiful decor inside and fab grounds. The garden onsite is perfect for taking pictures at or for an outdoor ceremony which we had intended on and while the weather was lovely on the day of the wedding it had been raining the days before so grounds were too wet but would have been fab, there are really so many photo opportunities on the grounds. We had our ceremony inside and it worked out lovely. I really wanted to do the décor myself for the day and the hotel were so helpful and supportive. The self-catering apartments on site are also ideal for hair and make-up if you wished to stay the night before which we did. The food was honestly really great and so many people commented about how good it was. The Manager Alan, Paddy, Warren and Mary all the staff were amazing and so helpful the entire way through from the lead up, on the day and the night, I could not say enough about them. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We had our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel Athlone and I cannot recommend them enough! Alan went above and beyond to accommodate us. After almost 2 years of postponing due to covid, we had our day and it was everything we wanted. Thank you to the management and all the staff at The Shamrock Lodge.

3 weeks today since we had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and what a day. Can’t thank all the team enough, they went over and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, from start to finish we were able to relax and enjoy every minute. Thanks Alan, Paddy, Warren and all the team, ye are brilliant at what ye do, Orla and Niall.

Paul and I had our wedding reception in the most beautiful hotel, The Shamrock Lodge Hotel on March 4th 2022. What an amazing day we all had. We can't thank Alan and all the staff for all their help, time, love and care with our preparations. The service, attention to detail and the food was outstanding. Myself and Paul will be forever thankful to the Shamrock Lodge Hotel.

Ian and I had our Wedding Reception in The Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 31st of December. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Paddy, Alan, Warren and all the team for the professional service that they provided us and our guests. The meal was delicious and the food was outstanding as always, nothing was too much trouble. Everything was just perfect, we had the most amazing day. I would highly recommend this Hotel and all the amazing staff. Our day was a dream come true. Thank you so much. Mr & Mrs Lacey

We recently got married at Shamrock Lodge Hotel, and we had the best day we ever could have imagined. The hotel was so easy to deal with. The staff were amazing, and the food was delicious. Warren, Alan and all the staff could not have done enough for us. From the bottom of our hearts we will be forever thankful to Shamrock Lodge Hotel.

Wow, where to begin. Alan and the team at Shamrock Lodge really went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most amazing day. From beginning to end, the attention to detail was superb. From the decor to the food, it was just amazing. From the very beginning, we were both at ease, We couldn’t recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough. A superb family run business, with amazing staff.

We celebrated our special day here at Shamrock Lodge, and it was a beautiful day, from start to finish. The staff here are amazing. They decorated the room, and organised everything for us. They did a fantastic job, we were so happy they kept me calm as I went to walk up to my now husband. The food was amazing, and all of our guests enjoyed the day. Thank you all again, such an amazing bunch of people and myself and Ciaràn were so happy we picked Shamrock Lodge to have our special day there. I wouldn't change it for the world xx so thankful xx.

When we first got engaged, we knew we wanted to get married at Shamrock Lodge Hotel. From our very first meeting with Alan up until the end of our wedding day, the team could not have done more for us. We had our ceremony and reception in the hotel. The space provided for the cermeony created the perfect atmosphere for an intimate wedding. We were in contact with Mary all throughout our planning. She answered all of our (many) questions, and helped us plan every detail meticulously. Alan, Paddy and Warren could not have done more for us on the day of the wedding, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing and plentiful. All of our guests commented on the excellence of the food, and how friendly the service was. We had quite a few dietary requirements among our guests, and the chef was so accommodating to all of our requests. We would 100% recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel for a wedding. Their attention to detail is second to none, and our day was perfect. Thanks again to Alan, Paddy, Warren, Mary and all the staff, for making it so special!

When choosing our wedding venue, we knew we were going to have it at Shamrock Lodge Hotel as it is a family run hotel. We have always loved the hotel for nights out, party nights etc., and it exceeded our expectations as a wedding venue. It was the best day ever. From start to finish our experience has been exceptional. Alan, Paddy and all of the staff are experts in their field. No matter how big or small our requests were, they obliged and they answered every question promptly and in detail. The food was amazing and our guests commented on how hot and good it was. Everything was perfect. We would highly recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel to anyone getting married. Thank you so much to all of the Shamrock Lodge team. x

Prior to our wedding, looking for a venue, when we first stepped into the Shamrock Lodge, there was a feeling of having come home, almost like, we finally arrived. Having visited endless hotels, and drank questionable cups of bottomless coffee across the north-west, we finally had hope. Having arrived at the hotel, we both quickly realised that the warmth of the Shamrock Lodge, Athlone, somehow evoked both our childhoods and our future together. At this point …we were only in the foyer. This place has magic. The receptionist’s smile caught us both by surprise, so genuine. All hotel receptionists smile, but here, you could almost taste a genuine sense of tradition in her greeting, a tradition that was respected and upheld by all the staff in this family run business. This hotel clearly cares for their staff, and it shows and pays off and this will show on your wedding day, staff that care and take genuine pride. The management staff welcomed us and brought us through the different options, and the complimentary pint was very welcomed after buckets of coffee elsewhere. Having chosen the Shamrock Lodge within minutes, we both knew this was the place without a doubt. The day we arrived at the Lodge, after getting married, that feeling of coming home - our family and friends around us cheering us on- the feeling of togetherness, was somehow and uniquely echoed in the service, the architecture, and the environment, in this family-run Irish business. The staff are just that bit better than other establishments that we experienced… they seem to care that bit more. That is what makes the difference on yoru big day. They know their customer, they spend that extra minute, the food is that bit more tender and the wine seems sweeter. Practically, for photographs, the grounds are amazing, curling in the driveway in your wedding-car is quite an experience! One the day, management was never more than a glance away, for the entire night, which for us was most impressive. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was a problem, and most impressively, the overall price reflected our budget and they worked with us, a young couple starting out! We could speak about the beautiful, mouth-watering food, or the cream that was the Guinness, or the architecture that is a resplendent reflection of years of a family-owned business that has moved with the times whilst never having forgotten its roots, however, that would overlook the receptionist or the bar staff, or the cleaning staff who make this hotel what it really is, a place of absolute comfort, style, elegance, and a genuine Irish welcome and these are the tradespeople who will make your day, finely trained experts in their own craft. This hotel is a sophisticated Irish home. It is your chance to experience what you want in your heart, what you can see, yet cannot find. This hotel, its staff and facilities are what you are searching for. Working alongside them (in terms of preparation, in advance) is so easy, no panic, no drama, just professionalism diluted with understanding. In short… The Shamrock Lodge is the place to choose! We both feel so thrilled, so happy, and so relieved having found and chosen the Shamrock Lodge, Athlone, for our wedding venue. We cannot wait to go back to visit soon for our anniversary, and many more to come, please God. We both feel like we have a genuine connection to this family-run, Irish business, for life, where we can visit for the occasional winter or autumnal escape as our years together, progress. This hotel, in short, is truly special, and for us, it was not just a day, but merely the first day, at home, at the Shamrock Lodge. Need we say more? Vincent & Emer Doyle. September 11th, 2011.

We had our wedding day at Shamrock Lodge Hotel on 10.9 21. It was the best day of our lives. Paddy, Alan, Warren and all the Shamrock staff went above and beyond for us and our guests. The service was second to none. Our guests still speak of how it good the food and service was. Anything we asked of Shamrock nothing was problem. I highly recommend this hotel and if I could give it ten stars I definitely would as they deserve it. You will not be disappointed if you book your wedding here It's a 5 stars from us.

We recently had our wedding in The Shamrock Lodge and couldn't be happier with how the day went, and a lot of it was down to the hotel. Alan was so easy to deal with before the wedding and nothing ever seemed like it was too much. We had our ceremony in the hotel. I had wanted to decorate a lot myself and the hotel were so accommodating allowing me to have as much input as I wanted whilst also being so helpful and taking care of us and our guests on the day. The hotel looked beautiful and had that relaxed feel that we wanted. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the hotel staff, food, and the atmosphere was, and everyone had a great time. The hotel ensured that the current guidelines were followed making sure everyone felt like they were in a safe environment, while at the same time, making the day feel as normal as it would have felt pre-covid. We can't fault the hotel for their service before and during the day of our wedding. Alan and the team have gone above and beyond. I have been at the hotel for other events over the years and I have never had a bad experience. We would highly recommend The Shamrock Lodge for weddings and any other event! Aisling & Keith Byrne

We knew that we made the best decision for choosing Shamrock Lodge Hotel as a venue for our wedding reception. From planning, up to the day of the wedding, the Shamrock Lodge team gave their best to accommodate our request and preferences. They really live up to their motto of "let our family look after yours". We are very happy with how our wedding celebration went, from welcoming us with red carpet up to the next day of our check out. Our family and friends were delighted with the venue, staff and the meal. The food is superb and the service is really good. My husband and I would like to say a big thanks to Paddy, Alan, Mary, Warren and the rest of the team. Thank you for a job well done and for the extra mile effort that made our big day so special.

My husband and I had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on July 31st 2021. The staff at the Shamrock Lodge were incredible!! They were so welcoming from the very start and created such a positive, uplifting and exciting experience for us that we will never forget. They truly were a dream to work with. We worked and liaised a lot with Mary, Warren and Jason and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. The really helped with building the excitement around the wedding and there was no stone left unturned. We felt that we could ask anything, make suggestions and changes where necessary. The made sure that our wedding day was the most special day ever. The hotel itself was beautiful. A gorgeous reception area, ceremony room and function room. The stunning gardens were perfect for photos and drinks reception. The food was exquisite. No course could be faulted and there were second helpings of everything. You can tell that the team at the Shamrock Lodge work tremendously well together and always put in the best efforts for their wedding couples and guests, but I feel they truly went above and beyond for us both in the lead up, on the day and also afterwards. They really made sure that our wedding felt as normal as it possibly could given the fact we got married during Covid restrictions. I could not recommend this venue and their incredible team more. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel should definitely be at the top of your list when looking for a venue for your special day. You will not be disappointed!!

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 31st of July, 2021. To say we had the best day ever is the understatement of the year. It was more than either of us could have ever dreamed of. The hotel and wedding coordinating team were so accommodating and made sure that we were always happy with everything leading up to the wedding. From the moment we met with the coordinator when we were viewing the hotel, we knew that we had found the perfect place. The welcoming atmosphere and the bubbly personalities that we met walking through the door just captured our attention and instantly put smiles on our faces. You can really tell that it is a family run hotel, as all the staff really come together and present as a strong, caring family unit. Warren and Mary worked tremendously hard behind the scenes and on the weekend of our wedding. There was no question too big or too small. There is usually a lot of stress around wedding planning, but Mary took all that stress away and replaced it with fun and laughter. You feel very much at ease planning your wedding with the coordinators. There was fantastic attention to detail from service, to food, to décor and function room layout. The hotel team was always so attentive and ‘on the ball’. The food was exquisite and is something so many of our guests raved about after the wedding. The private garden beside the function room is the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. There was a lovely flow to the day from drinks, to the reception, to photos and meal, to first dance. Everything ran perfectly smoothly and that is due to the exceptional organization and work carried out by the Shamrock Lodge team. The team at Shamrock Lodge couldn't possibly do any more for us. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the most magical day for us. They welcomed any ideas that we had in mind and were incredibly accommodating. If we were to do it all again, we definitely would pick the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Thanks so much for everything!!

What an amazing day. The hotel was fabulous. Mary was an amazing coordinator, and went over and above to make our day special. It was above and beyond our expectations. They made our day so special and relaxed. I can't recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough!

We cannot say enough about this family run hotel. Both Paddy & Alan and the entire staff could not do enough for us on our wedding day. The atmosphere was so relaxed and chilled, making us very at ease. The food was absolutely superb. Our guests are still talking about the great food and the wonderful day they had. We would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding or any event that you may have coming up. A huge thank you again to paddy & Alannd, the staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We had a fantastic day.

After having viewed a few venues, Stephen and I chose Shamrock Lodge Hotel as the place we wished to hold our wedding reception back in 2019. The world was then hit by a global pandemic, which added in no small way to the stress that already comes with planning a wedding. Mary, Alan and all the staff at Shamrock Lodge Hotel were a huge help in this time. Their patience and understanding of the situation we were in as restrictions were imposed, and we were unsure if we would proceed with the wedding as planned, was of great reassurance to us. They never once put us under pressure and indeed our table plans were changing right up until the week of the wedding. Again this was no problem. As a couple, this was the most important factor for us in dealing with the hotel. There was no problem too big or too small and they accommodated us with every request. On the day the service from the staff was top class, and the food was exceptional. The beautiful gardens are a perfect backdrop for photos of the day as well. The room was beautifully decorated for the day, and we were delighted with how the wedding went. All present had a great night and were highly complimentary of the hotel. We would recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel to any couple planning their big day.

We couldn’t recommend these guys enough. We have celebrated so many occasions in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and have never been disappointed. After a number of times rescheduling, we finally had our wedding and everyone was so helpful. They went above and beyond for us. Paddy, Alan, and Warren were on hand during the weeks leading up to our wedding and for the entire day, always checking in with us in case we needed anything. The rooms were decorated so beautifully and they even went out of their way to source specific décor for the ceremony room that we had liked. The food and service was amazing, as always. They made such as massive effort to make sure we had the best day... and we did! Thank you so much!

We had our wedding in the shamrock lodge Hotel on the 10th December 2020. We first met with Alan just weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately, due to covid we needed to change our wedding venue last minute, merely weeks before our date. We did not want to change our date as we had been waiting over 2 years to get married. Alan was absolutely brilliant, an amazing person to deal with-it felt as if we had been planning our wedding for the last 2 years with him. There was nothing Alan couldn't do for us, he went above and beyond. The hotel adhered to all covid regulations on the day-Alan and team made us feel so special on our day, even with covid we enjoyed every single minute. The staff at the shamrock are fantastic! Everyone was so helpful, couldn't do enough for all of us. Again nothing was a problem for the staff-they were just brilliant. The food was divine! Everyone was delighted with the food- the portions were so generous! The rooms were super clean; The smell in the rooms is beautiful. We really felt so special on our wedding day, but we also felt special when we just went for dinner there. I CANNOT WAIT FOR RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS TO BE OPENED AGAIN TO EAT HERE. This is a hotel that everyone should go to eat and stay as the staff go above and beyond. One thing that will always stick in my mind is the lovely lady Mary who sewed a piece of my sisters dress that ripped! that is an example of above and beyond! WE CANNOT EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO ALAN AND TEAM FOR EVERYTHING- WE CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ENOUGH FOR A WEDDING, A STAY, A DINNER, A LUNCH-ANY REASON FOR A VISIT-YOU WONT REGRET IT.

When we had to cancel our wedding in June, we rescheduled to 5th December 2020, I was a bit wary of a Christmas wedding. It wasnt a wedding i had imagined but Alan McCaul reassured me all along and said Dont be worried, it will be perfect and Boy was he right!!! The Shamrock Lodge was amazing last Saturday. Not only was our weather fabulous but our venue was amazing! Everything was top class, the food, the decor, everything was amazing. if you have any doubts about a small wedding, put your trust in Alan mcCaul and it will be perfect.

When we set out on our journey of planning our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, we never dreamt that a pandemic would hit and have us rearranging everything. Our wedding was held on 20th November 2020 where only 25 guests could attend. During the planning everyone at the Shamrock Lodge went above and beyond to help us with any queries or questions we had. The support we received throughout the whole year was exceptional. From changing our original wedding date, to reducing our guest numbers to safety measures, the list was endless. Nothing was too big or too small of an ask. When we arrived for our big day, everything was beyond perfect. Alan and the team are outstanding at what they do. The drinks reception, the food and the room layout and decoration was beyond what we could have imagined under covid restrictions. We were so happy we went ahead with our wedding and could not recommend the Shamrock Lodge enough. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank Alan and his team for making our wedding perfect. Thank you to you and your staff for making us and our guests feel welcome, safe and of course having a bit of normality for a day.

Myself and Eddie would like to thank The Shamrock Lodge again for all of your help. From the day we enquired about booking our wedding, until the moment it was time for bed on our day, nothing was ever too much for ask for, and questions were always answered. We held our civil wedding at the Shamrock Lodge in September 2020, and everyone had the most amazing time! It's an intimate space which definitely becomes home for the time that you are there Alan & all the staff were brilliant, so lovely to work with, really accommodating and helpful. At the time restrictions were rift throughout Ireland and Alan was a calming influence in a chaotic time. We were in touch with Alan throughout our planning process and he was amazing - so down to earth and approachable, made things easy through his knowledge, experience and fantastic personality. He kept us from losing the plot, at the same time giving us great options and ideas The venue itself was set beautifully and everything we had asked for was catered to, we even had a Piper playing us down the aisle. The grounds of the venue are scenic and perfect for your photos. The food - oh, the food! The food was five stars, it was tasty, hot and plentiful, all our guests raved about it afterwards. The service was prompt and attentive & friendly All the staff – from reception, wait, housekeeping and bar staff were amazing and genuine in making this a day to remember even in midst of a pandemic! Without the wonderful staff our day wouldn’t be possible – So thank you! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better venue.

Had our wedding here this year on the 14th Feb 2020. It was absolutely amazing... Mary, Alan, Paddy, Warren and every single staff member was just brilliant to deal with... Every meeting we had with Mary - she was just amazing. She went through every single detail and so did Warren, Alan and Paddy. I even broke their poor hearts over changing the table plan few times - we had 256 people sitting for dinner. And Warren was great organising that for us. The food was excellent, piping hot when it came out. They were always on the other end of the phone if anything needed to be asked. We had a civil ceremony in the hotel and that too was organised very well. They all make you feel like as if you were family. It is such a nice homely and welcoming hotel. All my guests were saying after the wedding that it was so relaxing and personal for a wedding. When I arrived to the hotel, I was very nervous. Warren and Alan were at the door waiting for me to arrive. I needed to use the bathroom and had to take off my train on the back of my dress. Alan and Warren were such gents that when I came out of bathroom with my bridesmaid the two lads put on my train and had us all in knots laughing - they were just amazing at the way they cooled my nerves. My Photographer even got a picture and it actually is lovely to have. Also on the day Mary Glynn who just went beyond her way to make sure everything was perfect. It was her day off and she even came in to see us on the day. We are so so happy we had our wedding here as we both are from Ballinasloe. It was just perfect - 10 out of 10. It was the best day of again. Tara and Jason Campbell...Mr and Mrs xxx

Having had such a fantastic wedding day in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel we thought it would be a nice idea to share our experience for other couples to read. It also gives us another chance to thank everyone at this hotel for making ours such a great day. We decided to have our wedding at this hotel having attended a few weddings here as guests and thoroughly enjoying every one of them. Planning a wedding can be a daunting prospect but we have to say our whole experience in dealing with the management and staff was a pleasure. Nothing was a problem for them to organize. Their help and assistance in ensuring all of our requirements were met were second to none. Also their attention to detail was fantastic. The whole process from the start - an evening chat with Paddy, to the meetings we had with Mary, who was exceptional in her assistance with the whole planning process, to Alan and the team who looked after us and our guests on the big day - to the finish was flawless. The management and staff could not have done any more to make our wedding day such a memorable and enjoyable experience. The incredible work that the staff had done in each of the rooms we used during our day was a credit to their dedication on making sure that our day was very special not only for us but also for them. From the room in which our marriage ceremony took place, to the reception room and on to the dining room, we appreciated how much they cared as the decor in each room was done beautifully. It is quite simply a fantastic venue and our day could not have gone any better. We would like to thank you all once again and wish you all well during these difficult times of COVID. We hope that you can soon return to what you do best, creating magical enjoyable wedding experiences for many more couples. Glen & Deirdre Montgomery

Thanks to Mary, Alan, Warren and Paddy for all you have done to make sure our day went smoothly, it was just brilliant from start to finish and everyone complimented the food and hotel. Such a great hotel! Just wow was my view from the day. The staff were also amazing and from start to finish. Thanks ever so much, Regards Kat and Michael xx

We had been to previous weddings at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and another hotel was never an option. From the moment we sat down with Alan to the day after our wedding, Warren, Alan, Paddy and all the staff were with us all the way. No request was to big or small. The decor, the food, the staff - everything was amazing. We and all our guests were looked after so well. If you are thinking of booking this hotel for your big day you will not have any regrets. They can't do enough for you and I will always recommend this hotel for any event, not just weddings.

Absolutely brilliant wedding venue, we had the day of our dreams nothing was 2 much for the staff Warren Alan and paddy were amazing to deal with from day one when we booked our wedding. There is nothing I could fault it was perfection food location and staff fab!! We got married the end of November and the hotel was done up so beautiful for Christmas it was stunning really added to the day!! Can't rate the shamrock lodge any higher 10/10 always!!

Paddy and Alan (father and son) are absolutely brilliant to deal with I loved the fact that the hotel is family run and you can tell this the minute you walk through the door there is a very relaxed atmosphere. The hotel itself is fantastic it has all the amenities you will ever need I had separate rooms for our ceremony, reception drinks and ballroom. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all very polite and helpful, the food is top quality and the value for money is spot on. I will be returning for my first wedding anniversary dinner soon.
