The Garryvoe Hotel

From the moment we set foot in the Garryvoe the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Nothing was too big of a deal for Steven and Aiden they were so accommodating from sorting out extra rooms to sorting the drinks for the drinks reception. All serving staff were top notch and were so kind.
All our guests complimented the lovely food and quick service. We also had our day 2 in The Cave Bar, and again, the finger food was amazing. There was even music organized for the hotel, and they asked us if we would like it in the bar. We even went back three days later to collect items and decided to stay, and again, everyone was so accommodating.

From start to finish Garryvoe were just Amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better day! The staff, food and service were outstanding and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their day. Aidan, Stephen and all the staff were just amazing. We couldn't thank them enough and I would do it all over again.

Hi Aidan,

I hope you are well. Myself and Brian would just like to thank you for our amazing wedding last Saturday. You made the whole process so easy and we are so appreciative of all of the help and guidance in the lead up to the big day.
We had the most beautiful day. Everything was amazing from the venue, to the food to the fantastic staff, we couldn't have asked for more. Liz is an absolute diamond, she was phenomenal all weekend!
We will be back again to stay very soon but just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for everything. We are so delighted that we chose Garryvoe Hotel as I honestly don't think we would have had such an amazing experience anywhere else. Thank you all!

Stephen, Aidan, Kevin, Jose(we think this is his name, he was fantastic at our menu tasting session), Mattius, Liz, Tracy and the rest of the team in Garryvoe were fantastic to deal with.

We organized our wedding from Canada which had its challenges i.e., time difference but the Garryvoe team was great to work with virtually. We are pretty sure they stayed late to take our calls, and we appreciated it.

From the first meeting to the menu-tasting session and the wedding day, they all went above and beyond. It was so refreshing to work with a team that understood our vision and brought it to life. Even with some unusual requests, like changing the day timeline and having the wedding ceremony in the library, we love the architecture in this room. They all made it happen without hesitation, in fact, they rolled out the red carpet and made everything perfect. The reception/dinner room was beautifully decorated, with gorgeous high ceilings and grand chandeliers that added the wow factor.

All the food was amazing. They catered to all of the dietary requirements of our guests ie. vegans, gluten intolerances etc. The canapes were delicious. The meal was even better than the meal we had at the menu-tasting session and they brought out seconds and thirds for our guests. We had the beef and cod on our wedding menu and they were spectacular. All of the food received high praise from everyone who attended.

We were truly blown away by everyone and everything at the Garryvoe Hotel and we made memories that will last a lifetime. This place will always have a special spot in our hearts.

Dear Aidan, Kevin & team..

Just want to say a huge BIG thank you for everything on the day of our wedding! We had an absolute ball. Everything from the food to the service was perfect and we couldn't recommend you / hotel any more to future brides and grooms! All the staff were extremely attentive ( Jose & Liz especially) and made sure everyone's glasses and plates were full. Anything we asked of in the lead up to the wedding was no problem to the staff of the hotel and they were wonderful in helping us set up on the morning of the wedding also. Aidan was so reassuring and helpful throughout the organising process and no request was ever a problem. He was a complete and utter professional and very personable throughout. Thanks again Aidan for everything!!

We had the best day from start to finish, the only problem was it went too quick!!

We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Garryvoe Hotel to all future brides and grooms.


Thanks again!!

What an amazing day we had. I couldn't recommend The Garryvoe Hotel highly enough. Right from the very start at the very first viewing right through to check out two years later on the morning after our wedding day.....outstanding! We both had no idea about how to plan such an important event so we had lots of questions about every aspect of our day. There were many emails sent from us and they were always swiftly responded to and we never felt our questions were silly. We always felt like what we wanted on our wedding day was centre to all communication with all of the team in Garryvoe. We both really appreciated all of the tips and advice from the team and also feeling like it was our choice and never feeling under pressure with the decisions that we made.

We had the best day and that was down to the professionalism, kindness and warmth of all at The Garryvoe Hotel. Everything went so smoothly and everyohne is still raving about the delicious food.

I would absolutely reccommend the hotel to future brides and grooms.

Thank you so much for helping us to have the best day ever!!

Dee & Brian

We had our wedding in Garryvoe Hotel in December and couldn't recommend them more. They are best in class at what they do, and they do weddings exceptionally well.

From our initial enquiry, right through to the days that followed the wedding, their service was next to none. Stephen, Aidan and all the staff did an amazing job and went above and beyond to make our day special.

The venue and setting is amazing and the space worked really well for our Christmas wedding. Our drinks and meal reception are still being complimented by our guests, and the staff couldn't be more customer centric or flexible with any requests that we had. The whole reception of our wedding ran like clock work, and the team there take any worries away.

Most of our vendors have worked with Garryvoe in the past and also complimented their services. The hotel handled so much for us on the day in the background with no fuss or bother. Their goal is for you to be present on the day and that is exactly what they did.

If you are considering Garryvoe for your wedding, it will be one of the best decisions you will make. They have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to weddings. and their expertise brought us so many ideas for our day which made it all the better.

Overall, we will be forever grateful to Garryvoe for making our day so memorable and special, Thanks again to all the staff.

From the moment of our first interaction with Stephen, Aidan and all the team at Garryvoe, we knew that it was the right venue for our special day. For each of the interactions that followed, it became evident that we made the correct decision. The hotel itself is stunning, the food and drink served on the day was outstanding (and plentiful) and the service from all of the team was of the highest level. We didn't want for anything and any request we made was facilitated without any issues. Special mention to Liz and Maura for their help in advance and on the day also. We were delighted and felt that we got more than value for money.

Hi Stephen, Aidan,

Just wanted to send an email to thank you both so much for everything on Saturday. We had a wonderful day and we couldn't have asked for more from everyone at Garryvoe.

It's been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all throughout the last year and we really appreciate it. Everyone was raving about the service, the food and the set up and we had very happy guests which was all we wanted!

Everything was completely seamless from start to finish and we just couldn't thank ye enough! As well as yourselves, we also wanted to especially thank Kevin and Liz and all the staff on the day who were just brilliant.

Thanks again and looking forward already to coming back for a stay.

Many thanks,
Lorraine and Shane

Great venue, great food, well coordinated by staff, we enjoyed the food tasting before the wedding

We had our wedding with Garryvoe on the 24/11/2033. Everything from the organising to the day itself was absolutely amazing. We live in the UK so trying to organise a big wedding so far away could be hard but Aidan, Kevin and team made it so easy and stress free. From having meetings over the phone, to answering emails, to fitting us in to do food tasting to suit our schedules and to finally setting everything up on the day and helping make everything run so smoothly. We had no stress at all on the day and that's thanks to this amazing team. The hotel is amazing with beautiful beach views and beautiful rooms. The food throughout the day was amazing and everyone was saying how it was the best wedding food they ever had. Service throughout the day was great and everyone couldn't have done more. From the front desk, to kitchen staff, waiters and bar staff everyone was fantastic. We had the best day and wish we could go back and do it again. We would recommend this hotel to anyone having a wedding our just wanting a lovely weekend away. We will definitely be coming a back to stay again. Thank you so much to the amazing team for everything x

We booked Garryvoe Hotel about a year ago. They were amazing throughout the build up and especially on the day. So professional and everything was taken in their stride. All our guests were raving about the location, food, service etc and we could not fault them. Highly recommend for anyone getting married.

From the very moment we met with Aiden and the team at Garryvoe Hotel nothing was a problem. We planned our wedding a year in advance and our day was made so special and memorable by the team. To say they go the extra mile is an understatement. You almost become one of the Garryvoe Family and everyone of the team make you and your wedding party feel so special. We stayed for a few days before our special day and it was the best decision ever. We walked into our wedding day so relaxed and full of excitement thanks to the team. If you are looking for something a little more special we could not recommend this hotel more. From helping with the wedding parties final touches to last minute tea and sandwiches for the grooms 80 year old grandmother, to sorting a last minute transport problem, Garryvoe Hotel you are truly the best and you do it in style ??

We cannot thank the Garryvoe Hotel enough for everything they did for us on the lead up and weekend of our wedding.

Our wedding day ran so smoothly because of the exceptional service of the wedding team and all the staff! The staff took control of all the timings and organisation which meant we could just sit back and enjoy our day.

All of our guests were so impressed with the location, the food, the reception, ect.

We would highly recommend the Garryvoe to others for their wedding day.

Hi there,

I hope all is well!

Just wanted to say thank you very much for hosting our wedding on the 1st of Sept 2023.

Ye were a pleasure to work with and all our guests commented on how friendly all the staff
were in all aspects of the wedding and accommodation.

Can't believe it's over already.

We recently had our wedding reception at this Garryvoe and we can't say enough excellent things!
Firstly, the staff were incredible, extremely friendly and accommodating. From the first meeting with
Mr Belton helping us get organised and planned, to the fantastic tasting and onward planning with
Aidan who was a great support and Maura helping to organise all our guests staying and to every
single member of staff who worked over the wedding made it such an enjoyable day for everyone.
The venue itself is so beautiful and everyone who stayed commented on the location, comfort of
the rooms, the amazing breakfast and leisure facilities. The reception drinks were so much fun and
the layout is great for people to mingle while getting a great view out to the sea. The meal was outstanding with such great service in the ballroom which was decorated so beautifully and turned into the perfect party space for the band and dj - Oceans 8 were fantastic!
We could go on and on, and never quite adequately convey just how amazing our day was.

We were made to feel at home staying for 3 nights in the hotel so we could really relax and spend
time with our guests and together over the weekend. All of our friends and family have described it as a great wedding with fantastic food, drinks and service, which is exactly what we had hoped for, we loved every minute and couldn't have wished for more.
Highly recommend anyone getting married to go to Garryvoe, thank you all so much again!
Catherine and Willie - August 2023

Excellent staff so friendly and helpful extremely professional, beautiful venue

We both want to express our gratitude to you and your team for our wedding, everything went off absolutely perfect and better than we could have hoped.
All our guests had a great day and were really complimentary of the food and service. We would have no problem in recommending Garryvoe hotel to anyone considering holding their wedding reception there.

Again our warmest regards and please send on our gratitude to your team. It all worked like clockwork and the Garryvoe team should be really proud of themselves.

The service from start to finish was exceptional.

I can only say that Garryvoe Hotel facilitated an amazing wedding day for us, beyond what we dreamt of. Their attention to detail, flexibility in the preparation and relaxed and calm nature on the wedding day gave us as a couple a fantastic wedding and the most treasured of memories. Overall feedback from guests was super, so a great day for all.

"What a fantastic hotel! We had our wedding at The Garryvoe Hotel two weeks ago, and everything was amazing!! The Garryvoe Hotel is such a lovely hotel, and it is in a beautiful location. The main reason our wedding day and day two went so well was mainly due to the hotel staff. Everyone was so lovely, super helpful, and everything went to plan. All our guests commented on how impressed they were with the hotel and what a beautiful place to get married. I never do these reviews, but I had to write this review because we had such a wonderful wedding weekend. I highly recommend The Garryvoe Hotel, especially for Weddings!! I want to say a massive thank you particularly to Tracy O?Regan, (Front Office Manager), Kevin Harris (Deputy General Manager) and Aiden Cotter (General Manager) who really looked after us. Thank you for the best weekend of our lives!!"

The staff in Garryvoe were absolutely outstanding on the run up to our wedding and on the day itself. Nothing was a stress or bother and all of our guests commented on the food and drink and amazing service by all of the staff. Big thanks to everyone for a day we will never forget, especially to Tracey, Kevin, Aidan, Stephan, Jose and Sarah who waited on our top table. We could not recommend this hotel enough for your wedding day. Ten out of ten!

We had a fantastic day from start to finish.From when we booked the venue we had no problems with anything we had to arrange.Manager and staff very helpful,and very accommodating if we had to change anything.Reception and meal for wedding was excellent and it was said to us by numerous guests.Would highly recommend for anyone thinking of having their wedding there.

"We had our wedding reception here a few weeks ago and we both just want to say a massive thank you for making the day so special. All of the staff were unreal and so accommodating, particularly Liz and Patrick but also to Aidan and Kevin..honestly the high standard and quality of everything was brilliant. All the guests had nothing but good words to say about the hotel. We are so glad that we picked Garryvoe as our wedding venue. Thank you"

Garryvoe was the perfect spot for our Wedding. From the idilic setting by the beach to the unbelievable service and food. Everything was Top Quality!
Aidan made everything so easy for us and was extremely helpful throughout the whole experience.
The entire staff on the day could not have been better, they were just fantastic.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for a venue to go with Garryvoe. You wont be disappointed

We recently had our wedding at the Garryvoe Hotel and we couldn't recommend the hotel more highly. We had an absolutely incredible day! Their professionalism, expertise and kindness helped to make the day as enjoyable as it could have been. The function room staff kept the meal running smoothly, ensured that everything went to plan and made sure that we were well looked after.

All of our guests have been nothing but complimentary regarding the hotel, with many mentioning that it was the best wedding they've attended in years!!
Thanks again to the Garryvoe Hotel and staff!

To Aidan and all the staff at Garryvoe. William & myself would like to thank you all for all the help with holding our wedding reception. We couldn't of asked for a better day and the hotel was beyond amazing to deal with from start to finish. The professionalism and kindness of all staff helped make the day go off without a hitch! Our guests have been complimenting us about how wonderful they found the hotel. Thank you all for everything, we are so appreciative of it.

We couldn't thanks Garryvoe hotel management and staff enough for all the amazing help and support in the build to our wedding day. They were fantastic to deal with. You could ask them anything and they were back within a few hours. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We had an amazing day. ????

Ideal wedding venue. Staff are so helpful and professional and obviously very experienced at weddings. Lovely setting in Ballycotton Bay. Most guests walked the beach at some time. All our guests traveled and were very impressed with the hotel. The local band Gina and The Champions were amazing. We had a great wedding without a hitch. Complements to the staff. And all our guests were very delighted with the food. Well done Team Garryvoe

We had our wedding in Garryvoe Hotel in December and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience from beginning to end the staff were absolutely fantastic and very attentive. Aidan and Kevin were so easy to deal with making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was second to none everything was delicious we couldn't have been happier with the service. Garryvoe overall is such a beautiful hotel and with all the lights up for Christmas made it even better and the atmosphere there was just perfect. We would definitely recommend them and would not have changed a thing.

Garryvoe took our breath away from the moment we walked in for our viewing. Stephen, Aidan, Kevin, Maura and the whole team were on hand to help with every additional detail - nothing was too much of an ask!! All of our guests commented on the venue, the quality of the food and the location. The Christmas decorations add an extra special touch and made for some fabulous pictures. We were so happy we went with Garryvoe and can't wait to come back to celebrate our anniversaries in the future.

From the day we fixed the wedding date to the wedding day itself our experience was very positive, exciting and memorable.

The Staff at Garyvoe comprehensively looked after the wedding so well . The food , the service and the hospitality was of a very high standard .

A very positive experience and I would recommend The Garyvoe Hotel to any couple that are looking for a venue to get married in .

Our first point of contact was Aidan back in September of 2020. From the word go all the staff in the hotel were above and beyond helpful. The entire experience was very chill as weddings are what they do and do extremely well. We had been to a wedding in February 2020 before everything went into lockdown and it was such a good wedding we didn't look beyond Garryvoe for our own. We picked the October Bank Holiday weekend and based ourselves there for the whole weekend with a trip across to the Blackbird in Ballycotton for our day 2.

The residents bar and library were perfect for the beginning of the reception as everyone could be seen and it was easy to mingle with guests and the staff are excellent at keeping the glasses topped up

The ballroom is a perfect size room with many options for layout depending on the size of the wedding party. The food options were excellent and well priced. Complementary sweet cart and late bar option were super also.

What makes this hotel is the staff - service is top notch with a special mention to Aidan and Kevin and also the wonderful Liz who looked after us so well the entire weekend. The rooms were really nice in the hotel and the guests echoed this sentiment afterwards adding the wedding room rate was excellent value. There is a really nice bar/restaurant on the corner of the hotel which was great for people staying 2/3 nights.

No matter what time of year Garryvoe is in our opinion one of the best all round options for a wedding and worth considering for any couple looking for a place to celebrate one of the most important days of their lives. One thing we loved doing was going for a dip in the sea the day after the wedding - cold but great for setting you up for day 2.

Looking forward to spending many anniversary weekends back there.

Thanks to all the team.

From the Cronin Clan

We found Garryvoe hotel a pleasure to deal with from the very start of our wedding plans, their attention to detail was fantastic and the service/food was suburb on the day. Aidan Cotter General manager is a real professional and made our day very special, we would highly recommend Garryvoe hotel after our excellent experience.

The hotel gave us the perfect wedding venue with staff always on hand for our every need. The guests all complimented the generously sized rooms and hospitality, and everyone found the food to be of the highest quality. It was the perfect hotel for the perfect wedding and I cannot thank the staff enough for all that they did for us to make it a magical day

We would highly recommend Garryvoe Hotel as a wedding venue. Aidan and his team went above and beyond to help us in the build up to our day. We were delighted with the service, food and attention to detail on the day. The communication from the hotel was excellent and any question we had was answered immediately. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The bridal suite was also amazing. We are so glad we chose Garryvoe Hotel and are so thankful for all their hard work and the effort they made for our wedding day.

Aidan and his team were absolutely incredible both before and during our wedding day.

Their service and professionalism knows no bounds. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and were most accommodating right up to our wedding day when things went off plan.

After our wedding day, our guests contacted us to commend the stunning venue, top class service and delicious food.

We would highly recommend Aidan and Garryvoe Hotel!

From start to finish all staff were pleasure to work with after 3 changes of dates to the wedding they were more than accommodating with everything right down to the smallest detail. Thank you to Aidan & Stephen and all staff for making our day so special.

The brilliance of Garryvoe Hotel as a wedding location is that Aidan and his team make you feel like you and your wedding is the only wedding they'll ever host. When organising our wedding, we said, we wanted the best venue with no compromises. We'd been to a number of venues. Garryvoe stood out from the start, for competitiveness in pricing, the hunger and appetite to host the wedding. The room, the menu, the staffing all drilled to military precision. Too many staff to name to compliment for a job well done. The food was glorious, still tasting the lamb now as I write. The organisation and execution before the ceremony in the hotel, constant communication. It is easy to see why the venue wins awards time and again for the being the best, because they are the best. We look forward to returning every year for our anniversary.

They went above & beyond. We could not fault the hotel & staff in one thing. So professional all our guests loved it as did we

We would highly recommend Garryvoe hotel as a wedding venue. The team especially Aidan went above and beyond for us not just on the day but on the lead up to it. We were unfortunate to have to postpone twice due to covid Aidan was so helpful throughout the process. Every ask he did his best to accommodate for us. The day went so well. Aidan and the team had everything planned out. our guests consistently said how great the staff were, the wine was flowing, plenty of food and how nice the food was. The honeymoon suit is also amazing two floors with beautiful views. Could not recommend this hotel enough.

We had a great experience dealing with Garryvoe hotel?the manager was easy to talk to & very flexible?it was a seemless & stress free experience all around. The venue is lovely & the views are gorgeous!

Hi Aiden and all the team at Garryvoe,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

Myself and David both wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so special. Garryvoe was the first venue that we went to when planning our day and nothing else compared to this beautiful hotel.
It was the perfect place for us to get married, we couldn't have asked for a better view. We were so happy with everything in the hotel, the food, the staff being so helpful and friendly, the rooms. Everyone commented on how amazing the food and how lovely all the staff were as well as the rooms overlooking the sea.
From the beginning yourself and Ben were a pleasure to work with, you made us feel so relaxed during our wedding preparations, we knew we had nothing to worry about as it was all taking care of with your team.
We will definitely be back to the hotel for dinner and for an anniversary night away next year. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Thank you again,
Emily and David

Having had a bad experience of trying to arrange a wedding abroad, we knew that Garryvoe Hotel would be the perfect place for our wedding. From start to finish planning our wedding within a super short time (months) everyone in Garryvoe was so helpful with everything. Organising hotel rooms for our guests travelling from abroad, taxis on the day and other wedding suppliers. Even when The groom was constantly contacting Garryvoe the ladies on the desk and Managers Aidan, Ben & Stephen were amazing & so patient. The food was fantastic on the day & our guests were so impressed with everything including the views, atmosphere, set up and accommodation. Garryvoe went above and beyond for us and our guests & We honestly cannot recommend them enough. Everyone at Garryvoe was so friendly, personal and truly made our 3 day wedding celebrations so rememberable. Our guests are still talking about it and we cannot thank all the fantastic staff for making our day so incredible. See you at the anniversary ;) Amanda & Andrew

Fantastic venue for a wedding, the service was wonderful. Very generous with food and excellent quality. Staff were friendly and flexible.

To Aidan, Stephen & all the staff at Garryvoe Hotel, this is a well overdue review. We had a fantastic time in the hotel on our wedding day. From our initial meeting with Aidan to view the hotel up to the big day itself, ye were always on hand to answer any query and the smallest of details was taken care of. Guests were very complimentary of the magnificent food, the superb venue and the very friendly and helpful staff. We would highly recommend the Garryvoe Hotel to future couples thinking of having their wedding in Garryvoe. Thank you so much again, Colin & Ciara Sheehan

We had our wedding in Garryvoe in July this year .We can't say enough positive things about our day and the hotel/staff. Ben and Aidan were extremely friendly and helpful from the very beginning - so flexible and always efficient replying to emails even with small queries .The food was absolutely amazing and our guests are still commenting on it. The day was just amazing from start to finish, all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I would certainly recommend this venue for a wedding .

5 stars for everything in this hotel! It is absolutely stunningly beautiful in terms of the location, but it's equally gorgeous inside. We got married in the hotel itself and it was so easy as a bride because Aidan and Avenue couldn't do enough for us to make the day go smoothly. All the staff were so kind and warm and welcoming. I had guests over from Dublin, UK, Australia, and San Fransisco, and all of them were raving about the hotel. The food, staff, location, the hall room, the rooms, everything was just incredible. It's been my dream to have a sea side wedding and this has exceeded all my expectations. An added bonus was the massive bridal suite with its own sauna! I'm incredibly grateful to Garryvoe for giving me and all my guests the most magical weekend and I would highly reccomend getting married here.

Garryvoe have an amazing team. From top to bottom, the build up and the day we're very enjoyable. At no point were we rushed or felt pushed along. The food, reception and decor are top class, the library is one of a kind for pictures

Aidan and Ben are fantastic to deal with along with Tracy and the rest of the girls at the front desk and not forgetting Liz!

Our wedding was delayed for 2 years due to COVID and Garryvoe couldn't have handled the movements of the dates any better.

Wouldn't think twice to recommend Garryvoe to anyone

I couldn't recommend this hotel and staff more. They were so accommodating when we had to change our date due to COVID, every detail was attended to and nothing was too small a task. Our guests were delighted with the excellent food and the ballroom is a beautiful setting. The whole team were so responsive to any queries and so helpful. Aidan, Ben, Tracey and all the team were a pleasure to deal with.

We really enjoyed our wedding reception at Garryvoe Hotel. Aidan was fantastic to deal with in the lead up to our big day. The food was delicious and my family were very pleased with the quality and choice. An ideal location- close to the sea, to capture those extra special, memorable wedding photos!

Great hotel. Very friendly staff, general manager Aidan fantastic always there to help throughout our 2 years of planning.

I recently had my wedding reception at Garryvoe Hotel and we had the most amazing day from start to finish. On the run up to our wedding we were faced with the every changing covid restrictions, causing our plans to change right up until the final hour but it was dealt with so smoothly by Aidan & Ben. The food was second to none and the staff were a pleasure to deal with. All of our guests were blown away by the standard of service. I would highly recommend Garryvoe, you can't go past them!

We recently had our wedding reception in Garryvoe Hotel. All the staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with but a special mention to Aidan and Ben who went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever a problem and any request we had they fulfilled with ease. We didn't have to worry about anything on the day Garryvoe had it covered.

Garryvoe are amazing to deal with. Extremely helpful , great location and fantastic food.

Absolutely delighted with the whole experience. The lads ben and aidan couldn't do more for us, and the staff they went above and beyond for us. Made us feel so relaxed and looked after our families and friends so well. Before the big day also kept in touch and any last minute plans or changes they accommodated everything we wanted. Absolutely would recommend anyone to have wedding there. Loved every minute of it.

We had our wedding in Garryvoe on 4th December 2021. It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I cannot praise the hotel and all the staff enough for their professionalism, support and guidance throughout our wedding planning. We wanted a hotel with a relaxed, warm and welcoming vibe and this hotel has it in abundance. We fell in love with the library room and the decor throughout the hotel. Having a Christmas wedding here exceeded our expectations. The staff are so accommodating, nothing is too much hassle and the day ran so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day, everything was taken care of. Our guests adored the staff members who really went above and beyond. The food was delicious and very well presented. The bridal suite is absolutely stunning, very spacious with gorgeous views of the ocean and even has its own sauna in the room! Thank you Ben, Aidan and everyone there for making our day so special.

We had our wedding reception in Garryvoe in November 2021, and it was the best decision we made. From our initial meeting with Ben, we always knew that we were in really good hands. We absolutely adore the hotel any time we visit- the relaxed vibe, the gorgeous decor - particularly the library with that double height ceiling and the food. We had certain ideas (some might say notions!) about what we wanted for our wedding e.g. we wanted a restaurant room rather than large function room and the team facilitated us in the gorgeous dining room in Garryvoe for our day. We asked to change around where our band would play,again this was no problem. We were so grateful that Ben & his team listened to us (patiently!) and did everything they could to make the day what we wanted. I can say with sincerity that our expectations were far exceeded on the actual wedding day itself. The whole thing from drinks reception to dinner to the dancing was seamless, we didn't have to think about a thing once -both ourselves and all of guests were so well looked after. Garryvoe Hotel has stunning spots for lovely photographs also,which is such a bonus, particularly if you get a wet day. The food was sublime and the bridal suite is absolutely gorgeous. We felt like royalty! Thanks so much for looking after us so well. We can't wait to visit again.

Hi Ben , Aidan and Stephen

Myself and Damien would just like to say the biggest thank you ever to you and all the staff at garryvoe our wedding couldn't have been anymore perfect, the hotel was just looking amazing with all the Christmas decorations and the food was top class , five star service from everyone there and thank you so much it meant the world to us and ye made our day very special!

The hotel was fantastic from day the we went looking for a venue. On the day Ben aidan and the rest of the team ensured myself and aisling had an amazing time. The food was amazing, we are still getting compliments about from guests who attended

We could not recommend the Garryvoe Hotel enough. It's a fantastic hotel and a great wedding venue. The location is outstanding and the facilities are second to none. The service and food on the day was commented on positively by all of our guests. It was a first visit for most of our guests to the hotel and they were blown away. We were looked after by Aidan the General Manager on the day and in the lead up. Nothing was too much to ask, the day ran so smoothly and we would put this down to Aidan's professionalism and management. We had to postpone due to covid, but there was no issue with rescheduling and the transition was seamless.

From my new Husband and I we would like to thank Ben, Aidan, Liz and all the wonderful staff of Garyvoe hotel. Thank you all wholeheartedly for Making our day so special. Sean's mam and dad married in gbs hotel over 40 years ago so they found it extra special. We never viewed any other hotel we met with Ben and made up our minds for our June wedding which Didn't happen but everyone was so accommodating to make sure our new day went swimmingly! Being voiceless on the day didn't stop me from having the most amazing day from start to finish. Being from midleton I think we game for granted how amazing your hotel is. Sean and I want to thank you all individually. We would like to also book in with both our parents for next month to enjoy and saver each moment again with our parents. Drink lots of Prosecco and take it all in if that's ok with you all.

My husband and I got married in October in Garryvoe and we had the most amazing day. We had rescheduled our date once because of covid and Aidan and the staff in The Garryvoe Hotel could not have been more wonderful in the lead up. On the big day every guest was so well looked after by the staff, every single member of staff was so helpful.
The food on the day was fantastic! Breakfast the next morning was delicious, followed by a walk on the beach. Our menu tasting in the weeks beforehand was such a lovely experience and really got us excited for our wedding. The venue was beautiful in the day and the staff had added all of our little touches, from seating plans, to centre pieces the room was really beautiful on the day!
We had the most wonderful, memorable day! The Garryvoe Hotel really made our day so special.
If we were to do it all again, I would not change a thing.

Hi Aidan

I just want to say an absolute massive thank you to you and all the staff . We had the best day and weekend of our lives . We could not have asked for better.
Everybody are giving ye nothing but praise the food was amazing aswell

Thanks so much.

Kind regards

Karen and Steven

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception so whole wedding day at the Garryvoe Hotel. I cannot recommend Garryvoe enough. Everything was perfect , staff amazing , food delicious and whole atmosphere superb! All our guests commented on how wonderful the whole experience was from check in to sad to check out. I must mention Liz who served us at the top table, Liz is a dream who anticipated our every need. Also a special mention to Aidan who helped us organise everything from day 1. Even though the Garryvoe have many weddings they made our day completely special and unique. Thank you to Mr Belton and team - it was nothing short of a dream!

Where do I start. Myself and Phil had our wedding here on Thursday the 26th of August what an amazing day, from start to finish everything was perfect. The staff managers Aidan and Ben absolute gents went up and beyond to make our day special. Tracey in accomadation was more than accomadating making sure all our guests were comfortable.We would like to thank Liz and her catering staff for the wonderful service. Thank you again for everything a few days we will never forget. ????????Priscilla and Phil

We have been overwhelmed with the support and guidance given by the team at Garryvoe; Aidan has gone above and beyond. From the moment we visited the venue we knew it was 'the one' from the decoration, location and approachable manner of the team. We live abroad and they were so accommodating to our ever changing plans in relation to Covid 19 travel restrictions. Unfortunately we have been unable to go ahead with our original wedding plans and giving up our dream venue at Garryvoe is really disappointing. We can't thank them enough for all their support and look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Dear Aidan, Ben, Liz and all the wonderful staff at Garryvoe Hotel.


We cant thank ye enough for all that ye did for us on our very special day and the lead up to it.
Ye were absolutely amazing and so helpful from start to finish.
A wonderful Hotel,a fantastic team.
Thanks again for everything.

Warmest regards

John and Mary O Sullivan

We are so delighted to have chosen the Garryvoe Hotel as our wedding venue. From the very first phone call we knew there was something different and unique about the place and their staff. The hotel itself preserves what is good about the past and perfectly marries old time charm to modern sophistication. The views and location are the perfect backdrop to any wedding or event and really speak for themselves. The beach, the coastline and the infamous Ballycotton lighthouse are visible from the library which provided us with a beautiful setting for our reception and also gave us reassurance that even if there was poor weather on the day, we could still integrate those lovely views into our photos.

Besides the beautiful setting and location, the staff are also flawless. They were always friendly and helpful to us and our guests. Each and every member of the team really went above and beyond for us in every encounter prior to our wedding and on the day itself. With the changing restrictions and constant uncertainty over the past few months, open and honest communication was invaluable and truly appreciated. They never hesitated to answer any questions of ours and offered sound advice on all things wedding related. Nothing was ever a bother to them! On our wedding day the team surpassed our expectations with their beautiful arrangement of the dining room in such a unique and personal way. The amazing quality of the food and drinks is also worthy of a mention, needless to say all guests were impressed with the selection and flavours presented to us. Compliments to the chef! The Garryvoe even got the seal of approval from both sets of parents! They are counting down the days until they can come back. The best kept secret about the place though has to be the bridal suite, there are no words for it. Just check it out for yourselves!!

Absolutely book with Garryvoe you won't regret it!

Honestly couldnt recommend or thank all the staff in Garryvoe enough. From every phonecall to every visit they were so professional and looked after us in every way possible as we had to change our initial date due to the pandemic. We eventually married on New Years Eve, having a civil ceremony in Garryvoe followed by reception after. Despite the restrictions and guidelines with limited numbers all our guests have said it was one of the best and most laid back wedding they have been at. Everyone felt comfortable and safe and we wouldn't change a thing. Thanks again so much from another very happy couple!

Hi Aidan,

Thanks so much for the superb service from yourself and Garryvoe Hotel in the planning of our wedding. The hotel was genuinely the least of our worries as we felt in such safe hands. Last Tuesday was the best day of our lives even with restrictions and you, and the other staff had a lot to do with it, we can never thank you all enough. A special thanks must go to the barman who had the patience of a saint with my niece Cara and the servers who served our meal, they were just fantastic.

Hope you all keep safe during this lockdown.


Kind regards,
Siobhan McGrath ..... previously Sexton :)

Fiona and myself had the privilege of getting married at The Garryvoe Hotel on 9th December 2020 at 4pm.

We were nervous on our journey to the Garryvoe Hotel? on our wedding day hoping everything would go to plan. When we arrived at the hotel the second we stepped inside the door the staff made it abundantly clear? without having to say one word .....WE GOT THIS ...and did they ever.!!

The hotel is beautiful. The sea view rooms have stunning views? of the ocean and? the bridal suite is exquisite and the essence of comfort.
The library room and the room were we had our wedding dinner were just flawless .


My family have been dining at the Garryvoe for years and never once? have had? a bad dining experience and everyone in the wedding party raved about the food and the wonderful service.

To all the staff who were so professional kind and? courteous to? all of us .. thank you so much for everything.
Aidan was the person that we? spoke to regarding coordinating the wedding and he was a gentleman and every email and question was answered immediately.No hesitation ...just 100 percent professionalism.? He coordinated our wedding cermony making sure everyone was seated and ready to go at 4pm .

I will never forget looking out the window at the waves crashing? at 3.55pm just as we were about to begin our Cermony.That image was powerful.

I will leave the last few words with my sister in? law who said the following morning ..I wish we could start all over again.

Sincerly
Fiona and Ann .

Cannot recommend Garryvoe Hotel enough for a wedding. We choose Garryvoe after hearing great reviews and they did not disappoint. We got married here in early October, after postponing our May wedding due to Covid. Ben and Aidan were brilliant from the start, so professional, helpful, and understanding ? no request was too big or small.
On our big day itself, we had the most amazing time. Even though we had fewer numbers than originally planned (50 guests down from 200), it never felt like a 'small? wedding, and that was due to the set-up of the hotel and the function room. The function room as decorated beautifully and was very intimate and cosy. We had loads of time to sit and talk with our guest and it made for a more intimate and personal wedding. The food was amazing, and we danced the night away.
Our guests kept commenting on 1. How beautiful the hotel was (the beach setting as a big hit), 2. how big, beautiful, and comfortable the bedrooms were. 3. The beautiful food which was served (both the wedding meal and breakfast the morning after) and 4. How friendly and professional the staff were. All the guests siad they had a lovely, relaxed day.
All in all, we had an amazing day, and we are so glad that we choose Garryvoe Hotel. They all made the day extra special for us. Big shout out to Aidan, Ben, Liz and Tracey who were just brilliant and are truly amazing at their jobs.
We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone who may be considering it for their wedding.
We cannot wait to come back for a visit soon.

MYSELF & LAURA COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR ANYTHING MORE FROM THE AMAZING EXPERIENCE WE RECEIVED FROM GARRYVOE. FROM THE PLEASURE OF DEALING WITH AIDAN THROUGHOUT THE CRAZY MONTHS OF 2020 WHO ALWAYS MADE US FEEL AT EASE TO THE INCREDBILE AND WARMING STAFF ON THE DAY. ALL OUR GUESTS COULD NOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF THE VENUE, NOT JUST FROM THE STUNNING VIEWS AND DECOR OF THE HOTEL BUT OF EVERY SINGLE EMPOLYEE THAT THEY INTERACTED WITH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. EVERYONE FELT AT EASE AND VERY WELCOME.

WE TRULY RECIEVED A 5* TREATMENT FROM THE MOMENT WE BOOKED OUR WEDDING 18MONTHS IN ADVANCE TO THE DAY ITSELF - THANK YOU ALL AND WE WILL MOST DEFIANTLY SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

I don't think there's been a word invented to discribe how brilliant a venue Garryvoe is!
Aidan, Ben, Eoghan, Danjo! Couldn't have done more for us and our guests to make sure we had the best day! From the amazing food to finalising the little details etc this was no issue and the lads are more the willing to help out!! Cannot thank the lads enough for making our day so special!! Highly recommend if your looking for top class look no further than Garryvoe

We looked at many hotels but settled on Garryvoe. The best decision we could have made. Stephen, Aidan and their team were superb. They looked after us and our guests so well. They made us feel like our wedding was the only wedding that mattered. Thanks guys for helping to make our day so special. Special mention to Aidan Cotter. The best in the business. Eimear & Eoghan also top class !

The easiest part of organising our wedding was dealing with Garryvoe Hotel. The early stages of planning a wedding can be overwhelming. There seems to be a million things to organise. We arrived unannounced to Garryvoe while out looking at various venues. Despite not having any appointment we met with a member of the management staff. We really did not know what we were doing but they managed to break it all down in a simple and concise manner. This instantly put our mind at ease and when we finally chose Garryvoe we were not disappointed.

The venue itself is a gorgeous location with plenty of photo opportunities on the beach. The Library Room is amazing, homely and warm for a Christmas wedding. We assume a summer wedding would also be terrific with the beautiful seaside view and beach.

The reception room is very good for large and small weddings. By the bar in the reception room they have plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs for guests after the meal.

The bridal suite is very impressive with lovely views of the bay. This was very important for photos as the weather in December was not great.

At every stage in the process the staff were professional, polite and very accommodating. This very much reduced the levels of stress we experienced in the lead up to the big day.

The wedding rates for guests were also very good and this was important for us. Other venues stipulate that you need to fill x number of rooms. This is not the case with Garryvoe and as a result there was no pressure on us in that respect.

On the day the staff were terrific. Polite to each and every one of our guests and extremely accommodating. All through the day the staff were available to us in anything we required. The whole day went without any hitch or problem.

The drinks reception in the Library Room went down very well and Garryvoe were flexible in what drinks they provided. The dinner reception was magnificent. The food was gorgeous and everyone was extremely happy with the menu (including the canapés and after food). The breakfast the following morning was also fabulous. Our guests also enjoyed the great leisure centre at the hotel.

Garryvoe has very competitive rates and is very good value for money. The price we were given in our first meeting turned out to be very accurate which is important for us.

To sum up we have heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. We could not recommend Garryvoe highly enough. It provides you with exactly what you want, with zero stress and at a very good price.

Myself and my husband could not be more grateful for the care and attention we received from the team at the Garryvoe Hotel from the moment we booked our wedding with them right up to leaving the morning after our wedding! There was no request too big and their quick response to any enquiries put our mind at ease the entire time! On the day the entire team from reception to catering to management were truly fantastic! Even one of the ladies during dinner took time to talk to my 4 year old nephew at the top table. The service at the Garryvoe hotel is exceptional and their attention to detail is incredible! Thank you Garryvoe hotel for making our wedding so special! It will always be a very special hotel to us!

Eric and I couldn't have been happier with our wedding day at the Garryvoe Hotel.

The location, the gorgeous library, the amazing food and even more amazing staff made it a day we will never forget.

All our guests were raving about the food, and couldn't have been more complimentary about the small details.

A special thanks to Aidan, Ben, Liz and Eoghan who went above and beyond - nothing was too much trouble!

Aidan and the team at Garryvoe Hotel provided us with an exceptional wedding experience from the very first day of planning.

We asked about the possibility of using the Samphire Restaurant for the wedding meal as we were looking to create a relaxed and intimate dining experience to celebrate our special day with family and friends.

While this would be a first at Garryvoe, Aidan and the team were very open to the idea and created a fabulous dining experience for us and our guests in an amazing setting with bar area and library venue adjacent for the evening celebrations afterwards.

Everything went so smoothly on the day thanks to Aidan and his team who oversaw every detail with the greatest of care and attention. The meal was superbly delicious!

All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day and were so complimentary of the amazing sense of occasion for both the ceremony and reception, warm hospitality and personal touch provided at the Garryvoe.

I would highly recommend the Garryvoe Hotel for a wedding or any function you may have. I had the pleasure of dealing with Ben and Aidan from the beginning and myself and my husband are so happy with how the day went. The staff are excellent, they give so much attention to detail and the food was also amazing including the breakfast the next morning! All my guests were ranting and raving about the hotel and are looking for any excuse to go back soon. Thank you for everything guys! Helen & S?amus Howard

Thank you to everyone at Garryvoe Hotel for an amazing wedding at the Garryvoe. The day was everything we could have hoped for and we were absolutely delighted with everything on the day.

From the first moment we viewed the Garryvoe Hotel, we fell in love with the place - the views, the d?cor, the staff and the warmth of the Hotel. We initially met with the Hotel Manager Aiden and we decided to book our wedding immediately after. From start to finish, Aiden was fantastic to deal with and was always on hand to answer any questions and nothing was ever too much trouble. He really did take the stress out of everything for us!
All the staff throughout the Hotel were also amazing, a special mention goes to Eoghan, Anne-Marie, Liz, Laura and Tracey. Every time we visited the hotel in preparation for our wedding, they were always there to assist in every way possible.
On the day of our wedding everything was perfect for us - the welcome, the drinks reception, the function room, our entrance, etc. All our guests were very complimentary of the food, the service, the hotel, the rooms and the location. Guests were so impressed with the Hotel that many have promised to revisit the Hotel on Holidays in the future.
One opportunity for improvement which was raised with us following the wedding was that there could have been additional canapes at the drinks reception as some guests did not get any or see any.
The function room is beautifully decorated, has great space and the lounge area is ideal for guests of all ages. To top off our wedding day, the bridal suite was absolutely amazing!! Not one but two floors. This is perhaps the best Bridal Suite there is!! Many of our guests came to visit it and were also hugely impressed with it!!

Overall, we are so glad we picked the Garryvoe Hotel for our wedding! We were so sad to leave the Garryvoe, but so happy knowing that they had made our day so special and one to remember forever!

Highly Highly Recommended...

We can't recommend Garryvoe enough, they made organising a wedding incredibly easy. They have a wealth of knowledge and were very prompt in responding to the smallest query. The food was delicious and was the first thing every guest commented on. All the staff are so welcoming, it was a pleasure to share our day with them.

We had our wedding in Garryvoe hotel the 21/9/2019. The service was fantastic from start to finish they couldnt do enough for us. The food was delicious and plenty of it, all the guests were well impressed. They were very efficient time wise and everything ran according to plan. We had the best day and with with the help of the experienced staff of Garryvoe hotel we had no stress. We would like to thank all the staff of Garryvoe hotel for giving us the most fantastic wedding day that we ever could have hoped for.

We had the most amazing day in Garryvoe Hotel on Friday 20th Sept 2019.
From the very first time we visited the hotel we fell in love with the Library and general surroundings of the hotel. We loved the ballroom and all the staff were so nice.
From the day we booked, Ben, Aidan and all the team could not have done enough for us. Nothing we asked for was too much, they made all of our requests possible and never made us feel like anything was a burden.
We arrived for our menu tasting about 8 weeks before the wedding and we were treated like royalty for the night, it got us really excited for the wedding day.
On the day itself, everything was perfect. Aidan was at hand to welcome us and guide us through the evening (you have no idea how much the glass of ice-water before we went into the ballroom meant to us). The food was spectacular and we still have guests complimenting the food, service and the hotel weeks later. A special mention for Liz at the top table who looked after us really well.
The staff at Garryvoe really made our day wonderful, could not recommend the hotel enough.

On behalf of my new husband and I, I would like to thank all the management and staff for everything they did for us from the moment we booked the date to the moment we left the day after the wedding. You all made the experience so wonderful and gave us all the confidence that we were in safe hands.

The name alone had it sold for us. With not only years of experience dealing with weddings, they have had DECADES. Experience and Time...two things money cant buy.

On the day we booked our wedding we were given a Wedding Booklet that we kept as a "Bible" for 19 Months. It had everything that a newly engaged couple would need to kick start the planning process. The manager we were dealing with Ben also assured us that if we had any questions or needed any advice to contact them without hesitation.

The next time we met Ben was for our Wedding Tasting in May. Such a brilliant idea, as we always had a fair idea of what we wanted but to actually taste it really sealed the deal. There was a wedding on the same night, which meant we got to meet the General Manager Aidan and Managing Director Stephen too.

The week leading up to the wedding was a very relaxed one. We got married on a Saturday so we came down with all our "bits and pieces" on the Tuesday Night. We met Eoghan the banqueting manager, who was so lovely to us and listened patiently to me going through all our requests for big day.

The day of the wedding was amazing, we reached the hotel to be greeted by all the managers we had previously met. All details given to Eoghan were followed through to the letter. From the Arrival reception to the moment we got into the lift to go to bed we couldnt have asked for any more. Liz on the top table was a "God send" as our Bestman said and is a true gem to the hotel.

Everyone of our guests and family members LOVED the hotel and thought the food and the staff were 5Stars.
We would recommend the Garryvoe Hotel to any couple. Thank you all from Mr & Mrs O'Mahony

We just want to start off by saying thank you so much to all the staff for all your help with planning our wedding and making it such a special day. A special thank you to Stephen, Ben, Aidan and Eoghan. From the first day we came to view the hotel to our wedding day you all couldn't of been more helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, all our guests haven't stopping talking about how nice it was and generous portion sizes. We would recommend Garyvoe to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue as they couldn't of done more to make sure we had an amazing wedding day. Aisling and John Paul

Hello,

It's long overdue but I want to email to say a massive thanks to everyone at garryvoe hotel for making our different wedding what it was and feel so so special! especially Ben, Laura and Aiden who we dealt with the most .

We did things differently and had our own private intimate wedding but it's definitely the way forward with everything going on in the world and I can't even express how important ye made us feel and how easy going everything was when dealing with ye.
All my family kept saying after the few days with ye was how genuine and helpful the staff were and the best hotel service they've ever received.

Thanks a million for everything ,

Roisin and Eoin Purcell .

We had our perfect day in Garryvoe hotel. From the moment we were engaged there was little doubt that we would look beyond Garryvoe. The hotel were a pleasure to deal with and Ben guided us through the planning stage expertly. The food on the day was spectacular. We had guests from the local area and others from further afield that all raves about the presentation and taste. The day was just so relaxed and everything handled with the greatest care.

We celebrated our wedding at the Garryvoe in August this year. All the staff at the hotel made our wedding day so incredibly special. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food is exquisite. All of the guests commented on the amazing and piping hot the food was and how lovely the hotel was. All of the staff were amazing and could not do enough for you and Liz on the top table was so kind.

Aidan and the team were so helpful in the run up to our wedding including looking after all the guests for a meal the night before the wedding, which was also delicious. We planned the wedding from England and it was all so seamless thanks to the incredible organised team at the Garryvoe.

Tracy was so helpful in booking all the rooms and going back and forth with us when there were changes and Laura answered all our queries so quickly.

We are so delighted that we chose the Garryvoe for our wedding day and would highly recommend it!

We had such a wonderful day and have so many brilliant memories. We can't wait to come back for our first anniversary!

From both myself, James and Our Families, thank you so much for everything in the lead up the big day, right through the day to the day after our Wedding. We had an absolute ball. It was everything we could have asked and wished for. All we wanted from the start was to have such a super day that everyone would enjoy. We haven't stopped being complemented on our choice of location, the staff and of course the food. It was all perfect. Special mention from ourselves goes to Eoghan, Tracy and Liz, and of course yourself for being so helpful and accommodating. Every single table raved about your staff. They are a credit to the hotel.

I hope you have all recovered from the shock of the Landrovers and my ever so not ladylike exit from one I don't know who was more shocked by it!!

We honestly can wait to be able to come back and visit.

So if you could please pass on our thanks to everyone we would really appreciate it.

Kindest wishes,
Noreen and James Magner

We had the most amazing day the hotel and food were outstanding, the staff were so friendly and helpful which made our day so special. Our guests were extremely impressed with the food and the rooms. The bridal room is out of this world and we were delighted we spent 3 nights there.

To say our wedding day was amazing is an understatement. The staff at the hotel were a pleasure to deal with on the day and leading up to it. Even when i was emailing them 3 times a day they were always able to help us out and able to sort out whatever we needed. Aidan Ben and Eoin were so easy going and whatever we wanted to do it was never a problem. We just want to say a big thank you to them and the rest of the team. Lynsey and Bryan.

The hotel and staff couldn't have been more helpful really went above and beyond,food was just beautiful and room and presentation were outstanding

We had a really great experience with garryvoe and would recommend them completely. We booked the date a little over a year in advance, paid our deposit and then that was it! Ben and Aidan etc did the rest! We were never bombarded with phone calls and hit with invoices. We paid the balance the morning after the wedding and there was absolutely no hidden extras.

The bridal suite is stunning, and we are excited to stay there again as a complimentary night from garryvoe.
My parents and wedding guests are still talking about how much food there was on the day, staff offered second helpings of everything. The staff were polite all the time, especially to the lovely lady who was at my side in the ballroom all evening (her name escapes me) to make sure I had everything.

Ben assured me everything was in hand but as every bride knows, it's part of a wedding to stress! But garryvoe really were great on the day.

Great photo locations, close to cork airport, only one wedding per day, clean, friendly staff and fairly priced.

Thanks so much to everyone especially ben and Aidan.
If I ever get married again, I will choose garryvoe!!!

Melanie and kieran x

Garryvoe: from the minute I stepped into this venue I knew I?d get married here. Its easy to know a place by the staff and the staff in Garryvoe were so ?homely? if that is thing. My parents were so impressed that the staff knew them by there first names. My husband and I never had any trouble with staff and they were more then obliging on any aspect of the wedding.
The food was EXCEPTIONAL. At our meal tasting the hardest part was the decision as all the food was top class. Our guests raved about the food and they said the fact they got seconds shocked a lot of them.
Also the guest noted they never had empty glasses and the staff were always on hand to top them up. Not only the meal but our guests also noted the breakfast was delicious the next day.
Our guest were also so impressed by the value for money and that the over night stay didn't ?break the bank?.
We and our guests both loved the rooms and the rooms over looking the beach are just beautiful.
The ball room is just Devine with beautiful decor and ease of access to the bar and restrooms.
Obviously we had older couples at our wedding and when they didn't want to be dancing the night away they took to the library room and celebrated in comfort.
We had no hassle at all with Garryvoe and I can't recommend it enough.
Not only did we get a beautiful venue but we can now visit a beautiful place every year to celebrate our anniversary.
I can't express how beautiful this hotel is.

From the day we 1st met them, they were always so helpful & friendly, every member of staff. Great comments from guests afterwards how wonderful the hotel was and some are going to revisit for a nights stay. If we asked for something it was never an issue.

how do I even begin to start to write this review? Garryvoe Hotel was an absolute Dream Venue for our wedding. From start to finish I could not fault one thing. I have been going to Garryvoe Hotel scene I was a child so it always had a special place in my heart, the beach across the way you couldn't ask for a more beautiful back drop for a wedding. When we first walked in to enquire about our wedding we knew we where in good hands so welcoming from the very first day. Every single member of staff at the Garryvoe Hotel are so kind and so friendly. Ben our wedding coordinator was on hand for all my emails no matter how small the detail he was there to give me a speedy response and help me along the way.
We celebrate my husbands 30th birthday the March before our wedding at the Garryvoe and used this opportunity to stay over and do our food tasting, once again they knocked it out of the park and we knew for absolutely certain we had made the best decision.
Finally we arrived at the Garryvoe Hotel after becoming Mrs Lordan and was absolutely blown away. Everything I had imagined and more. Ben was there to meet us at our red carpet arrival welcoming us with champagne to begin our celebrations. My eyes where lite up as he walked us into the ballroom to show us, it was beautiful exactly as we wanted and could not of been happier.
Our reception was in full swing in the library of the Garryvoe everyone was having a wonderful time and the bubbles where flowing.After being announced as the new Mr and Mrs Lordan and welcomed by the Manager of the hotel it was time for the meal.I can honestly say to this day my family and friends are still talking about the food at my wedding. Very single bite was mouth wateringly delicious. I could not fault a thing. After dinner we danced the night away with at this wonderful Venue. The next day and the days to follow we stayed at the hotel and honestly could not of felt more like royalty thank you so much to all the staff at Garryvoe Hotel.

We took a drive to Garryvoe Hotel when we were looking at possible venues.
Aidan, who happened to be there on the day showed us around and straight away made us feel at ease.
Between Aidan and Ben they were very facilitating on the lead up which took the stress out of the preparation and actually made it really enjoyable.
The day itself ran really smoothly, there was a very positive vibe all day thanks in no small part to Garryvoe and the staff. The food was fantastic, the rooms were impressive and we will always look back on our big day with great fondness.
Around 50 of our group stayed in the hotel the next night.
The casual front bar was ideal on day 2 (Saturday) as they serve food all day so people could come and go at their leisure.
It was a lovely bright day so people were strolling down to the beach in groups and getting ice creams in the little shop on the way.
We had such a good weekend that when everyone left after breakfast and it was time to check out, we impulsively decided to stay the 3rd night, just the 2 of us, as we didnt want it to end!
That Sunday was lovely and quiet in the hotel and I would strongly recommend staying there an extra night on your own to any couple getting married as it was a nice chance to chill with a cocktail in the library and reflect on the outstanding weekend we had.
Thanks again to all the team involved, I would be more than happy to recommend Garryvoe to anyone for their big day!

We were over the moon with our wedding at the Garryvoe Hotel.
From our first visit until check out, we enjoyed every minute of this adventure!
The staff were extremely helpful and professional, Aidan and Ben looked after us well and went out of their way to accommodate us. Big thanks to Eoghan in particular on the day, he was an angel! The food was divine and the set up and atmosphere was amazing!! 100% recommend to all future couples x

Ben Aiden, Eoghan and all the team in Garryvoe were both a pleasure to work with and from the day we booked our reception with them, we could not wait for the day to arrive as we knew they would have everything in hand. Their professionalism, warmth, enthusiasm and helpfulness meant we were super confident everything would be perfect and it was. They were always quick to reply to questions and nothing was a problem.

On the day, the reception was incredible. From the warm greeting received by Eoghan and Ben, to being shown the most stunning reception room, we were blown away by how warm, welcoming and inviting it was. All of our guests commented on the venue, the amazing staff, the outstanding service, the stunning bedrooms and most of all the incredible food. There were clear plates all round. We would also like to mention Laura on reception who was super friendly and helpful over the two nights of our stay. She is an asset to the hotel.
Liz who served on the top table is an absolute joy, the world needs more people like Liz, hard working, kind, helpful and caring.

We will always cherish our memories of our wedding reception and know Garryvoe was the perfect choice for us. Cannot recommend the hotel highly enough.

The staff in the Garryvoe hotel were absolutely amazing the food was divine and there was plenty of it. I'm so glad we picked there to have our special day.

We would highly recommend Garryvoe Hotel. They made our wedding day so special nothing was a hassle and they made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing and there was plenty of food for everyone and extra they went above and beyond. We really enjoyed our day at Garryvoe Hotel and have even got compliments from our guests saying 'it was the best wedding they have ever been to'. We are so grateful to Garryvoe Hotels Team for everything.

From day 1 until the wedding, Aidan and his team were absolutely amazing! We had all our questions answered in a timely manner and there always was a solution to all our requests! Besides, the staff is super friendly and professional, all of our guests mentioned the professionalism, the great food, the atmosphere, the ballroom...Can't thank them enough, it was absolutely stunning!

Highly recommended, it was a magical wedding and Garryvoe Hotel is definitely a place we would come back just to spend a week-end off and relax a bit.

We both found Aidan fantastic to deal with. He is really relaxed and pleasant and genuinely wanted to give us the best wedding possible. We booked it for next year and can't wait to continue to work with Aidan on the build up to our day.

Highly recommend Garryvoe Hotel as a wedding venue. From our very first meeting with Aidan we knew that we were going to get excellent, professional and personalised service on our wedding day. And that we did. The venue, staff and service were amazing and the food was incredible. We have had nothing but positive comments from our guests. Thanks again Aidan and Ben to you and all the team in Garryvoe Hotel for making our day so special.

From our first meeting with the team in Garryvoe Hotel their professionalism and attention to detail was second to none.

Not only did they provide the perfect venue for our reception they offered us invaluable advice on music, food and what worked best for couples on their wedding day based on their vast experience.

The service on the day itself was seamless and we have been inundated with compliments from our guests since the big day, the majority of which relate to the staff and their experience in the Garryvoe Hotel that weekend.

The food in particular was a big hit with everyone, there was plenty to go around and there was something to suit everyone.

Stephen, Ben, Aidan and the entire team took so much of the pressure off of us, we had no worries on the day and would highly recommend The Garryvoe Hotel to anybody looking for a wedding venue.

From the minute we walked in to Garryvoe we knew it was our wedding venue! The warm relaxed atmosphere sold it to us straight away. The amazing view of the beach just added to it! We met with the wedding coordinator and booked that day. We had an absolute ball on our Wedding Day. They know everything that has to be done down to a tee! No rushing or panic. From the food, to interaction with the band and DJ, it was perfect! And The bridal suite is out of this world! We couldn't have gone anywhere nicer! An absolute pleasure to deal with! Thanks again Aidan and Ben.. 5 stars!

Absolutely fantastic and friendly team, nothing was never too much of an ask and made our day so perfect and stress free, highly recommended!!

During the planning phase of our wedding, we visited many venues across Cork to get a feel for what would be the best fit for our wedding day. From the moment we landed at the beautifully picturesque setting that the Garryvoe Hotel is located in, we knew that we were on the right track. We were greeted by Aidan, the general manager, who guided us through all the fantastic offerings of this hotel while we relaxed in the beautiful surrounds of the hotel library.
We were so impressed by the hotel & it's staff that we confirmed a date there and then. We left excited and confident that we had just made a great decision.
During the preparations for our big day, it was clear that every effort was going to be made by Aidan, Ben and their team to deliver our day with great professionalism. It was clear that they take pride in the service that they provide at the Garryvoe hotel.
Our families received a great welcome by all the staff the night before the wedding and the lovely relaxed atmosphere at the hotel really helped to ease the nerves for the groom.
On the big day, everything flowed seamlessly and we felt so assured by the happy faces of our guests that they were enjoying the wares of Garryvoe hotel. All of the staff went above and beyond in accommodating our needs and those of our guests, including helping to celebrate the brides 30th birthday.
One of the hardest decisions along the way was picking our menu as the food options available all sounded divine. It didn't disappoint on the day and has been complimented many times since.
A particular mention must be given to the bridal suite. The luxurious suite had a sauna, steam room and a balcony overlooking Garryvoe beach which made a great setting for some photos. Although we hadn't banked on the bride's veil being swept from her head and onto the hotels roof. Great credit to Aidan and Ben on the rescue operation that they carried out.
Garryvoe hotel exceeded our expectations and we couldn't recommend it highly enough

The Garryvoe was a dream location for our wedding, a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. Aidan, our wedding coordinator was really easy to get on with and professional. He and the team were helpful and flexible in the run up to the day and even though we don't live locally, we found dealing with the hotel from a distance really easy.

On the day itself the guys in Garryvoe made ran things perfectly. Everything ran smoothly whilst also being really relaxed for both of us.

All our guests commented on how helpful and welcoming the staff were, and were completely blown away by the quality of the food.

Of course it is so hard to know where to choose for your wedding reception but as soon as we saw Garryvoe Hotel we were immediately intrigued. The staff there were so friendly from our very first interaction with them, then so helpful and professional as we outlined our plans, confidently assuring us that what we wanted was perfectly achievable. We genuinely wondered if we really could be as lucky as we felt when we went ahead and booked the hotel. When we got back in touch with the team at the hotel as it got closer to our wedding day we were met with confidence so self-assured it could even have been mistaken for complacency, but this confidence turned out to be impeccably well founded. The level of professionalism shown by every last member of the team was remarkable and their ability to demonstrate a wealth of experience and an unmistakable passion for their craft meant that our wedding reception was filled with moments that we will treasure forever. To simply say that the team in Garryvoe know what they are doing would be a profound understatement. The sometimes subtle, personal yet always elegant touch given to every last aspect of their involvement would be difficult to accurately describe without spoiling some of what they have in their considerable box of tricks. Seemingly little things and unexpected touches really do make such a difference, even when the ?big things? are positively knocked out of the park and that's absolutely what they did. The fabulous food, enchanting surroundings and a spectacular location had our guests marveling to us at what a stunning choice we made for our wedding reception. We were reminded of how lucky we felt when we found ourselves there in the beginning, except that what the team delivered truly exceeded all of our expectations. Words can't describe what it means to us to have had such capable allies there for us on such an important day. Thank you all so much for your part in the best day of our lives. ?Till we meet again!

We found the Garryvoe Hotel excellent, not only for its scenic location but for the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. No request was too much and the day itself was run to perfection. From the first day we visited the hotel to the follow up after the wedding, we could not have asked for more. We would highly recommend the Garryvoe Hotel.

Garryvoe hotel was a brilliant choice of venue for us the location was exceptional, the hotel scenery was fab, the food went down great with all our guest they all loved it. The staff couldnt do enough for us they were so friendly and helpful, very pleasant to deal with. Garryvoe hotel had great attention to detail for for weddings we loved it for our wedding. We would highly recommend it.

Stephen Belton and all of the staff at the Garryvoe were a dream to deal with for our recent wedding. All of our queries were answered promptly and we didn't have to worry about anything; Stephen knew what to anticipate and everything was taken care of for us. The food was amazing and there and the service was excellent.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in September and I can't explain how incredible our experience was from start to finish. We viewed a few hotels originally and obviously Garryvoe hotel is stunning but what made the final decision for us was our meeting with Ben, after speaking to him we knew we would be in safe hands with him and that goes along way when you are planning a wedding. Every time we called to the hotel after that we were so well looked after and nothing was to much to ask for, it confirmed we made the right choice. The wedding day arrived and needless to say the day and entire weekend went off without a hitch. Both myself and my husband were made to feel like the most special people in the hotel for the entire weekend. The staff were absolutely amazing from the wedding coordinators and management down to the bar men, everyone we dealt with were genuinely lovely people and had the best attitude towards both us and all our guests. The food was devine (everyone at the wedding said so) and it was such a relaxed atmosphere, Liz had the everything under control. The hotel truly is a credit to East Cork and now one of our favourite spots. I can't thank everyone at Garryvoe enough for making our wedding the most perfect day.

My husband is from Dingle and his family (all of whom stayed in the hotel for 3 nights) are still talking about the level of service provided by all the staff at Garryvoe. They really could not get over how friendly and genuine the staff were and how stunning the hotel was. They mentioned that in all their time in West Kerry (a tourist hotspot where you would expect a high level of service) they have never witnessed anything like Garryvoe Hotel.

If we were to do it all over again there is nothing I would change and for that reason I would recommend Garryvoe Hotel to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue.

Well where to even start. We had our wedding in Garryvoe Hotel on September 1st 2018 and it was just an amazing experience from start to finish. From when we met with Stephen Belton in March 2017 to the end of the wedding weekend we were so impressed and humbled. Every time we visited the hotel before the wedding it was a pleasurable experience and there was always someone there to answer any queries we had. The day itself was just seamless and as a bride and groom we didn't have to worry about a thing. As a self-proclaimed foodie couple the food was something hugely important to us and it did not disappoint. In fact it was something of a highlight which many of our guests have come back to us to commend the hotel on. The whole atmosphere in the hotel is a recipe for an amazing wedding and we would highly recommend it to any couple looking at Garryvoe as a possible wedding venue. We couldn't do a review without giving a special mention to Liz who looked after the top table during dinner. She also runs the show at breakfast and is always so friendly to every guest she meets! Maura in the office was also a huge help to us in relation to the accommodation for our guests and again nothing we asked of her was a job too big. She has a lovely way about her and does her job to a very high standard. It has to be said though that every staff member we had an experience with from planning our wedding to leaving the hotel on Monday September 2nd was great. Good customer service is something that this hotel has down to a fine art and it is very evident throughout the hotel. We also had a 2nd day event in the smaller function room with a buffet for our guests. This food was also amazing and filled the spot for everyone after a long day of drinking the day before! Picking Garryvoe as a wedding venue will not be a decision you regret, our only disappointment is that we can't go back and to it all again.

We got married on the 18th August 2018 and had our reception in Garryvoe Hotel and it was spectacular day. It was absolutely stunning. We had an amazing day. The guests were really blown away by how friendly and helpful the staff were. The food was unbelievable. They thought it was magnificent, we are still getting people telling us how wonderful the food was. We recently received our photographs from our wedding and the decor of this beautiful hotel was spectacular in them. The Samphire Space was wonderful for guest to mingle and talk after the wedding ceremony. Organising such a big event can be very stressful however Garryvoe Hotel made it extremely easy for us. There was never an issue. The attention to detail was outstanding. Even Stephen Belton (managing director of the Hotel) went to get a scissors and remove a loose thread from my wife dress just before we entered the function room for the very first time. They were fantastic especially with the function room. They way they had it all laid out from the decor to the dressing of the tables and chairs with flowers or candelabras for all our tables. The service was 5 star! All our wishes were granted. All the team were superb. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for such wonderful memories.

We booked Garryvoe hotel back in September 2016 and from start to finish the management and staff could not do more for us. We stayed for 4 nights during our wedding and were treated like royalty. No request was too big or too small and it was great as the bride and groom to be able to relax knowing our guests would be well taken care of. The food whether in the bar, wedding or in the bistro is top notch. Anyone considering Garryvoe as their venue will not be disappointed.

they where perfect. no request was to crazy like we had a dutch and Irish flag by the rooms, we had green led lights in the room for the dinner and the reception. They where perfect on the day of the wedding making sure anything was going as wished. I could not be more gratefull to Ben, Aidan and Brendan for their help making my wedding perfect. the food for the dinner was perfection and enough and the wine was delicious.

Everything was amazing. Could not fault anything about the wedding day. The room was nice and comfy.

Garryvoe was a fantastic location for our wedding. The scenery is amazing and the hotel from start to finish were amazing deal with. The hospitality and willingness to accommodate was impressive. No request was too much for them and the day itself was run to perfection. The food and service was excellent and the staff were always so friendly and helpful to deal with. Big thanks to Aidan, Ben and their super team in Garryvoe for making our wedding day a dream come through. We would highly recommend them!

I was staying at the hotel the night before my wedding, there was another wedding on that night and I couldn't sleep because of the music! That's the only bad thing I have to say as Stephen belton and his co workers, every one of them were so helpful and polite and friendly, they went out of their way to make our day as special as they could. I couldn't recommend this hotel and more, food was delicious, the honeymoon suite was amazing, the hotel is beautiful! We had a second day entertainment and we were accommodated with our requests on that as well. An amazing venue that has deservedly won several awards.

Excellent from start to finish. The level of service and flexibility was top notch and we never had to ask for something twice. All of our guests had a brilliant time and we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else! Brendan made sure that everything was perfect for our day.

We had our wedding reception at Garryvoe Hotel in July 2018 and I cannot speak highly enough of all of the team working in the hotel. From the first day we went to see the hotel we were very well looked after and felt the friendly, welcoming atmosphere the minute we walked in the door. The food was top notch, the service was excellent and Ben was extremely easy to deal with any time we needed anything. Thanks to everyone at Garryvoe Hotel for making our Wedding Day so relaxed and enjoyable!

Thank you so much to the team at Garryvoe Hotel. We had the most amazing day. We felt looked after from day one. Our guests were blown away with the food and how friendly all the staff were. Garryvoe will always have a special place in our hearts and we could not recommend them more.

We had our wedding in may 2018 in the stunning garryvoe hotel. We booked it 2 years in advance & from the moment we met ben and talked through everything that the hotel offered we knew it would be perfact for us. All of the team were great they couldnt do enough for us & when i stayed the night before with my wedding party it was the same. Our day came & went but everything went so perfactly thanks to everyone being so professional. Everybody complimented the food and service on the day. I wish we could re-live the day over again but i look forward to returning for our anniversary.

Thanks to all the staff at Garryvoe hotel for ensuring we had a great day. From our first meeting with Ben, everything ran smoothly and very efficient. The pre drinks reception, The meal and wine was amazing.
Thanks for all your advice and professionalism.
Mr and Mrs Kelly

From the moment we arrived at Garryvoe Hotel to view it for our possible wedding venue we both knew it was exactly what we wanted. Stephen Belton was just so.amazing and professional in his approach yet so personalble i felt very at ease and at no point felt overwhelmed, Stephen, Aidan, Ben
and all the staff were so attentive and really made our day even more special.
The food was outstanding, all our guests complimented on how beautiful it tasted and looked.
The location of the hotel is just breathtaking, it sits overlooking the beach and bay. The interior of the hotel does not disappoint it has been designed to such a high spec and attention to detail is second to none including the bridal suite which in my opinion is possibly the best and most beautiful bridal suite around it would be hard to top it!!
I could not recommend Garryvoe Hotel enough absolutely loved everything about it from start to finish..5 stars all the way.

We had a fantastic day for our wedding in Garryvoe. All the hotel staff were a pleasure to deal with in organising everything and on also the day itself. We choose to have a small reception but that in no way meant we received less of a service from the hotel. In fact we and all our guests were delighted with how well we were looked after and how special they made us feel on the day. The food as always was beautiful, guest rooms are very spacious and well decorated and the hotel is fabulous in a lovely setting.

Brendan and Aidan were great to deal with nothing was a problem even when we went all peaky blinders and gin on them.... we had never stayed or had food in the hotel when we booked it,, and they gave us an amazing tasting we felt quite special and tipsy.we stayed two nights and loved the hotel in the November... on the day 98% of our guest had never been in the venue and were blown away by the beach, venue and omg the food.... we stayed three days for food and drinks with big guest lists and they met every request even rugby six nations on the big screen day two and offered a trad in there really good cave bar for the evening...they are very relaxed which set a great tone from start to finish with the nine months of dealing with the hotel..... great memories of an amazing weekend and we?d love to recommend the guys and the hotel for weekend stays or the wedding of your dreams.... we can't wait to visit soon... well done garryvoe deserved of all your awards.

We cannot recommend the Garryvoe Hotel any higher. From the minute we set foot in the door we knew it was the place for us. We were made feel special from the minute we were greeted at reception and throughout our first meeting with Stephen. The hotel itself blew us away , The wedding reception area has everything you could ask for, the round open bar gives plenty of room for guests to meet and mingle. The library area had a magical feel from the snug corners with lit fires to the breathtaking christmas tree and beach views. But it doesn't stop there, the ballroom is nothing short of amazing. It's an elegant spacious room with magnificent high ceilings and stunning chandeliers. The Bridal suite speaks for itself, spread over two floors, its spectacular in every way, I love the beach and to wake up to the sea views on our balcony was amazing. The hotel itself has everything you could ask for in a wedding venue but thats not the best part about Garryvoe. We cannot speak highly enough or thank the staff enough in Garryvoe. We are so grateful to all the Staff, firstly to Stephen Belton, who we met on our very first visit to the hotel. He knows weddings inside out and we knew we were in very good hands. We were at ease all the way through the wedding process and nothing was ever too much trouble. He was there on the day to make sure everything went off without a hitch. He is professional in every way, and a character to say the least! We would also like to thank Brendan, who impressed everybody by how in control of the whole day he was. He was always two steps ahead and we were never left wanting at any stage. The meal on the day was outstanding. This was never a worry of ours as the Garryvoe Hotel is renowned for fantastic food. A special thanks to head chef Kevin for taking time out of his incredibly busy day to say hello and to wish us well. All in all, we could not say enough about every aspect of the hotel and our guests have not stopped talking about the day since

I could not recommend Garryvoe Hotel highly enough. The staff were exceptional in the lead up to the wedding, and were always available to take our calls or meet for a chat.

On the wedding day, everything went perfectly, and all the guests were very complimentary with regards the hotel. The meal was beautiful and the service was quick and friendly. Overall the whole experience was excellent.

Dear Garryvoe Hotel,

You did a wonderful job of our big day. Every detail was effortlessly provided for. You were very helpful in advance and open to ideas. You never pushed extra stuff on us; it was more a case of 'you dont really need that bit'. The food was great, the surroundings were beautiful and all the staff from the boss to the barman were friendly. All our 250 guests loved the place and will come again. On the day after the wedding one of our guests lost an essential bit of kit from her wheelchair and the hotel staff pulled out all the stops to see that was found. Well done. We have no hesitation in recommending the Garryvoe Hotel for weddings or similar events.

We had our special day on the 04/11/17 in garryvoe and it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anymore out of garryvoe. From the moment we booked with them they made sure all my needs and questions were answered. We are living in the UK at the moment and they made things so easy that we didn't need to come back often. With Skype calls, emails and telephone calls from them to make sure i was kept up to date with all that was happening. Our guests couldn't stop telling how much they loved our venue and how much the staff took care of them. The food is amazing and they make sure everyone has had enough to eat. Im so happy that we chose to share our special day with them and I couldn't thank them enough. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Cannot recommend Garryvoe any higher. Anyone thinking of choosing them as your wedding venue, you will not be dissapointed. From day 1 all our questions were answered promptly and we were very well looked after. The food and atmosphere were fantastic on the day itself. The staff must get special mention, every person we dealt with was professional and efficient while also being very warm and welcoming.

It has been over a month since our special day (14 October 2017) and our opinion of the Garryvoe Hotel and the team only continues to grow. Our guests and family who we have spoken to in the last month rave about how impressed they were by the hotel, the setting, the food and the staff. From day one when we met the wedding team they were a joy and a pleasure to work with.

This hotel is made for weddings and the Garryvoe team is the best in the business at them. Stephen Belton, Aiden and in particular Ben who was our wedding manager were brilliant to work it. They gave excellent succinct advice and really looked to make our day perfect. No matter how many meetings or calls we made whatever minor issue was bothering us ? the guys always made us feel like they were our priority and would always make time for us and give us ideas. This a family run hotel and you can sense it. They really appreciate business and there is just a lovely atmosphere in this hotel which is created by the staff (whether this be the bar staff, reception, cleaning staff or the night porter). Our day could not have gone any better, however, there was a hiccup at the start of the day when a make-up artist did not show up for the Groom's family (which had nothing to do with the Hotel). However when Donal mentioned this to Tracy on the front desk she took complete control ? rang all her local contacts and managed to get an appointment for us. It is these things which you will notice during your wedding and makes the Garryvoe so special. They really are just such lovely people working in this hotel. A particular mention to Liz (Senior Waitress) who always made you feels at home, Shirley (Head of the Cleaning Staff) who was always there with good luck wishes and Tracy who it was a pleasure to meet and who helped sort the lack of the make-up artist for the Groom's family!

The Library is an unbelievable setting for pre-dinner drinks overlooking Ballycotton Bay and the Lighthouse. The function room is classy but not over the top. The food well it was just unreal (5 Star quality which was complemented by all our guests). Sometimes at weddings we always get the feeling that the service and food at the top table might not be as good as it is for the guests at the back (all our guests though made a point of complementing it). Nobody goes hungry either with plenty of seconds being provided to all our guests. According to Ruth's Uncle who travelled home from Australia it was the best food he ever ate at wedding (he is 65!) and we are sure he would not be alone in this view. The drinks at the bar aren't expensive by hotel standards and the stage for the band and the dance floor were perfect. Our wedding was so special and the Garryvoe and the team played a huge part in this.

Finally on the Monday after our wedding (we had drinks in Ballycotton in the Blackbird Bar on the Sunday (another great venue)) ? Storm Orphelia hit. While our wedding was over at this stage, the Hotel could not have been more accommodating for our guests who had to change their travel plans (cut short or lengthen their stays) and really continued to go the extra mile (they made sure we were all secure in the hotel and cut our cake to make sure our guests were well fed while we all waited for the storm to pass!).

This hotel is made for weddings, it was what they do, they are excellent at it and they value your business. Sometimes we read online reviews of hotels and restaurants and wonder - how trustworthy are they? I am sure everyone says nice things about the hotel they got married in? Hand on heart this hotel exceeded our expectations. They are very upfront with prices, no hidden costs, the setting is unreal, the food is Michelin Star cuisine and the staff make you feel like you are an extension of their family and the Hotel is your home for those few magical days.

From the first day that we sat down to talk about possibly having our wedding in the Garryvoe, to our dinner tasting, the days before our wedding, our special day and sheltering us in Storm Orphelia ? the Garryvoe and Stephen and the team really looked after us. The best of luck to Stephen and the team ? they deserve every success.

We made the best the decision of our lives by deciding to get married on 14 October 2017. Our next best decision was to book the Garryvoe. Go for it you won't regret it ? we promise!

Donal and Ruth

Our day went off without a hitch thanks to Ben and the rest of the wonderful staff.
We had our civil ceremony at the hotel itself at 3pm in October. The big glass windows at the front of the hotel create a perfect backdrop for family photos.
Further photos can then be taken on nearby beaches or in beautiful Ballycotton. The newly renovated bar and lounge areas are perfect for your guests to meet during the drinks reception. Our guests were delighted with the meal they received. Generous portions and plenty of second helpings on offer. The waiters and waitresses on hand were extremely helpful especially to us at the top table. The bar man on the night was also great and very obliging.
The bridal suite is amazing with stunning views out over the bay. The newly refurbished rooms are top class. Look out for the little elf doors along the corridors.
Also make sure to visit the leisure center. It's very relaxing and modern. It even has an outdoor tub. I've passed this hotel so many times cycling and running and on Sunday spins and live very close. But I had no idea what a top class hotel was on our doorstep. We can't wait to go back for our 2nd free night in the honeymoon suite. If I had one suggestion for the hotel it would be to invest more in the civil ceremony room. Civil ceremonies are very popular now and to have a ready decorated room would attract more in my opinion.

From the very first meeting we had with the Garryvoe Hotel we knew this was the hotel we wanted to have our wedding reception in. We actually didn't view anywhere else! The food, the service is just second to none! They went over and beyond to make our day the most special day not just for us but for our guests as well. Couldn't recommend the hotel highly enough. Thank you to all.

Amazing staff , food &service highly recommend

From the first day we met with Andrzej to the days after our wedding all the staff at Garryvoe have been fantastic. After our first meeting we knew we wanted to get married at Garryvoe, they made every aspect of the preparations so easy and straightforward and we really felt they were looking out for our interests. They were prompt in getting back to us with all our queries and had great advice. On the week leading up to the wedding and the day itself they did so much and had thought of everything possible so that we could just enjoy our day. The food was incredible, extremely tasty and good sized portions. We are still getting compliments from our guests on how good the hotel was. Really cannot say enough good things about the hotel and staff, the location is obviously incredible too and we had lovely photos taken outside the hotel down on the beach. Would recommend to anyone and looking forward to going back there again.

We choose Garryvoe Hotel for the extremely quick response via email and for the venue location. Set on the stunning beach front of Garryvoe, The Garryvoe hotel is THE venue to get married at. The bridal suite is unbelievable with gorgeous views out over Ballycotton bay.

From day one Andrezj and the team were just amazing. Each and every member of staff made us feel so special; nothing was a hassle for them. When booking the venue, Andrezj kindly showed us around the venue via Skype as we both live aboard in NZ. Emailing was the best method of communication for us, and I can say the team at Garryvoe responded within 12 hours or less.

As our civil ceremony was the first we would ever attend, Andrezj talked us through the day step by step and what would happen. This really helped put my nerves at ease. All our guests mentioned how relaxed the day was and wish they could do over their own weddings to have the wedding we had.

As always the food was delicious and couldn't be faulted. All our guests were served at the same time. My only regret was my dress was too tight to eat any more food.

We both really loved our day at The Garryvoe Hotel and would to do it all over again.

Couldnt reccomend The Garryvoe Hotel enough! It s the perfect setting. The hotel is truely amazing.From the decor to food and not to forget the amazing bridal suite you won be dissapointed. The staff cant do enough for you.For any brides or grooms thinking about having there big day in the Garryvoe as i can say is you wont regret it.

We were married in the Garryvoe Hotel in July and had a truly wonderful day. In fact we had three super days there !

From the moment we walked into the hotel, we knew it was where we wanted to be married. It's a stunning location and a beautiful hotel and we were very proud to bring 70 of our closet family and friends there.

We had a civil ceremony followed by a drinks reception in the library and enjoyed a gorgeous meal in their smaller function room at the front of the hotel.

We found all the staff from the front reception team, restaurant staff and the management team to be excellent. It didn't seem to matter that we were a relatively small wedding and probably one of 3 or 4 that week.

All of our guests were really impressed by the hotel. People commented about everything from the food to the staff, to the bedrooms and the location itself. It ticks a lot of boxes !!

The choice of bars is also something we really liked. They catered for everyone as did the bistro bar and restaurant.

For me a stand out memory is the bridal suite. It is just breathtaking and the views are amazing. It was such a relaxing place to get ready and according to our photographer it is the most spectacular bridal suite in the country. High praise indeed !

We can't recommend the Garryvoe highly enough. It was absolutely perfect for us and we will certainly be back next year to enjoy the hotel and indeed East Cork again.

We had a great experience with Garryvoe right from the 1st time we met Andr? & the whole way through. Anything we wanted was possible & he did all he could to help us make our day special. Unfortunately Andr? was called away the day of our wedding & wasn't able to be there on the day itself. The food was delicious & the staff were brilliant. Looking forward to a visit back for our anniversary.

Our wedding reception in the Garryvoe was flawless from start to finish. Stephen, Andrezj, Ben & team we?re fantastic to deal with and couldn't have done enough for us during the preparation and on the day itself. The venue is perfect, the rooms stunning and the food was divine. Everything was easy and nothing was too much trouble. All our guests gave fantastic reviews and many said the Garryvoe is now their go to hotel for a weekend away. Thank you to everyone in the hotel for making our special day so memorable, we can't wait to return!
Kate & Barry

Where do I even start?! Ben, Andrezj the staff at Garryvoe are just amazing. Ben the manager we dealt with is so down to earth, professional and one of the nicest people to deal with. Nothing is a problem and all the staff make you feel like royalty on your big day. Liz is one in a million. Your typical 'Irish mammy' making sure everyone had enough grub on their plate. Laura on front desk is such a lovely person and fantastic at her job. From start to finish Garryvoe was amazing! The food, the service, the decor, everything is top class! Anyone who has booked Garryvoe as their wedding venue have made the best decision. The staff will ensure everything goes off without a hitch. The best decision we made without a doubt, was choosing Garryvoe as our wedding venue and we hold nothing but fond memories of our wedding day thanks to them. The guests were blown away as were we. I wish the hotel and staff the very best in the future. They deserve every success! Jane and Owen

We got married in Garryvoe on Friday 23rd June and all the staff at Garryvoe were amazing from the first time we viewed the hotel to the checking out of the hotel on the Saturday! We had the best day of our lives and every aspect of our experience at Garryvoe was absolutely fantastic!!! Special thanks to Stephen, Ben, Andrzej and Joanna who were a pleasure to deal with. No request was too big or too small and they really went above and beyond.

The food was 10/10, The Bridal Suite is out of this world, the front bar is stunning, the reception room looked amazing. We have had so many compliments about Garryvoe from our guests and The staff made everyone's day (and very late into the night) enjoyable! Thank you again!

We chose the Garryvoe Hotel for our wedding as it really is the most perfect beachside wedding location in Ireland! Stephen Belton and all the staff there ensured that we had the most amazing day of our lives! They were so attentive to our needs and nothing was too much hassle! The staff were so warm and friendly from the initial booking, right through to the day itself! The food on the day was simply divine and the staff were constantly making sure that everyone had more than enough food and drink. The bridal suite is stunning with incredible views out across Ballycotton Bay. Our guests are still raving about the venue and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exquisite wedding venue!

We celebrated our wedding at the Garryvoe Hotel in May this year and had a more amazing day than we every imagined. From the moment we set foot in the Garryvoe to enquire about the venue, until we left on our honeymoon everything ran so smoothly. This is down to the amazing team who all seem to genuienly enjoy what they are doing. Their enthusiasm added to the fun atmosphere on the day. The food was incredible and our guests are still telling us about how much they enjoyed it. The facilities at the hotel are brilliant, especially the library area which worked so well for our drinks reception and for some stunning photos. We organised the wedding from London and could not be more grateful to the team for how easy they made this experience. Any question no matter how big or small was answered promptly which meant we could just get on with the planning without any second guessing.

Thanks so much to Stephen, Ben and the team.

Myself and my Wife chose The Garryvoe for our venue in May 17. I have to say from our initial conversation with the management right through to checkout after the 2nd night they were the most accommodating, flexible, professional and courteous people I have ever dealt with in such a scale. The management bent over backwards to accommodate my wife with her most fussiest requests. Out of all of the hotels we visited (& we done our homework) the Garryvoe gave the best quality for our money. The newly renovated reception was the perfect setting and we got fantastic photos on the beach. The choices of food was unbelievable but the hardest thing was having to make a decision on what to put on the menu after our tasting night. Truly delicious, all of our guests taught the same. The rooms in general were very well maintained with a very high quality. The bridal suite though...!! As I said we done our homework and nothing we seen compared to the Garryvoe's bridal suite. I know you don't spend much time in it but it's even fantastic for photos and also visitors the next day as it's massive and you are just surrounded with luxury. I have no regrets about our decision and I can not recommend The Garryvoe highly enough for the scenery, venue and the management and staff...!!

Staff in Garryvoe were very easy to deal with, professional and accommodating.

Very happy. It was amazing everyone still talks about it. Food was fantastic and our guests and family well they were all well looked after. The day just ran so smooth

We got married in Garryvoe Hotel in March 2017. The hotel staff, food, facilities and services were excellent. Andrzej and Ben managed our big day and they did so effortlessly. Nothing was a problem and all our requests were completed perfectly. The great thing about the hotel and staff was that the day was stress free for both of us and we enjoyed it immensely. I would highly recommend this as a venue to celebrate our big day.

We got married in Garryvoe in March this year and they were absolutely fantastic, we couldn't recommend them more. From the first day we visited, to the meal tastings and to the day itself they couldn't have done more for us, nothing was too much trouble and everyone we met was so helpful and friendly. Ben & Andrzej were fantastic to deal with always on hand to answer any queries we had. The day itself was great, everyone remarked on how friendly all the staff in the hotel were and how delicious the food was, exactly what we were hoping for! Thanks so much to all in Garryvoe :-)

Myself & Darren had our wedding reception at Garryvoe Hotel on the 29/10/16 and what can i say,from the moment we booked the hotel two years prior for our special day until the wedding reception had ended that evening/early hours of the next morning! ,the service we recieved exceeded 5 stars from Ben, Andreas and Stephen the managers at Garryvoe and all the staff that looked after us the whole way through .They took a big pressure off our shoulders and we didn't have to worry about a thing nothing was too much trouble for any of them,the food was delicious so much so guests are still raving about it today!We had friends and family travelling from the UK and Malta that were staying in the hotel for a few days and they were made to feel very at home almost like family,We fell in love with the hotel immediately when we saw it and the ball room sealed the deal for us as we loved the romantic feel of it along with the beautiful library where we had our drinks reception.Thank You for helping make our day special!xDarren &Amanda Sweeney

I can see why the Garryvoe hotel wins loads of awards. From the moment we booked this hotel the staff were just absolutely a pleasure to deal win. Nothing was to much trouble for Ben and Andrezj they were always on hand to help us out. Whatever we needed. Any brides out there you will not go wrong with this hotel.

We had our wedding in Garryvoe last month and must say Andrzej was an absolute a pleasure to deal with all the way through.
Also Ben & Stephen were fantastic to deal with on the day and the attention to detail on the day was superb.
Everyone loved The hotel and our guests are still complementing the food, drinks reception and service received.
We are beyond happy and impressed with our experience with Garryvoe.
We will always have great memories of our day and this is truly down to all the fantastic staff at Garryvoe.

We had our wedding reception in Garryvoe Hotel on the 10 September 2016. We could not have asked for a better venue or a more professional and friendly staff than at Garryvoe.

They made the planning of our wedding so much easier and helped us in all the stages of planning our wedding by being very responsive, helpful and accommodating in any queries we had.

We could not have been happier with the reception on the day and everything went very smoothly and Garryvoe made it a day we will never forget.

We had our wedding day on 2nd September 2016 in Garryvoe Hotel. From the moment we booked our special day in 2014 Andrzej helped and guided us and made both of us feel so at ease. I stayed in the hotel the night before and from when I arrived with my family to when I left with my husband the day after the wedding the staff could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble for Stephen, Andrzej, Ben or any of the staff. The wedding day it's self was amazing, I did not have to worry about any of the little details as they were all taken care of by Andrzej and his team, the service from all of the management and staff was second to none. We did not look at any other hotels when booking our wedding in 2014 and I am so glad we did not as Garryvoe did not disappoint. Everyone has since commented to us on the food which there were seconds and thirds of! the service and how beautiful the hotel is and we wholeheartedly agree. Stephen, Andrzej and Ben are experts in their field of weddings and was definitely evident in the months and days leading up to the wedding. The function room is amazing, the decor is gorgeous and the lighting is just wow. I have only ever heard good feedback about Garryvoe and after having our own day there we could not say any different. If we were to have our day all over again I definitely would not change our venue it would be Garryvoe time and time again. The sun shone on our day but needless to say even if the weather is not great, it is still a spectacular venue. The bridal suite is gorgeous and to wake up and look out at the amazing views is definitely an experience. On the morning of the wedding, I was so calm and looking forward to the day ahead and that was definitely helped by all of the staff in the hotel making our experience of what is a stressful time so relaxed. When we left we felt like we made friends, we look forward to visiting the beautiful Garryvoe for many years to come. THANK YOU.

Had a fantastic wedding day at the Garryvoe hotel would highly recommend it to anyone the staff are top class and the food is amazing, great spot

Im not one for writing reviews... but the decision we made to get married at the garryvoe hotel was the best decision we have ever made and they absolutely made it the best day of our lives. We live in England so were worried about having a destination wedding. Though with the garryvoe hotel, there certainly was nothing to worry about, from start to finish they were so helpful throughout the whole process. Our guests were so complimentary of the staff and could not get over how amazing the food and venue were but most importantly, how brilliant the staff were! We all stayed for the week of our wedding and had the most fantastic holiday and best day of our lives! The minute we walked in the garryvoe and we're greeted by the team, we instantly knew that we needed to look no further and had found the venue of our dreams...and they certainly proved us right! Would absolutely highly recommended for your wedding and certainly as a destination wedding, you'll have an amazing time and experience... I promise!!!

We had our wedding on August 5th this year. We couldn't have picked a better location for our reception. From beginning to end the staff and management were unbelievable. Andrej went above and beyond for us. His experience in the business is evident and his advice and support throughout the planning was extremely helpful.
The venue itself is amazing and is perfect for every size wedding. We had a large enough wedding and it didn't for one second feel crowded. The reception staff in the days before the wedding were also fantastic. Even though they had 4 weddings in the week running up to our wedding every effort was made to ensure our day ran smoothly. The day itself went in a blur but I certainly won't forget the amazing food and service we received on the day. Our guests raved about the quality of the food and the friendliness of the wait staff.
We also celebrated in the bar the night after the wedding, We would highly recommend Garryvoe for any special event.

We would like to say a huge Thank You to Andrzej, Ben, Stephen and all the staff of Garryvoe Hotel for the wonderful service at our wedding reception in July.From the very first day when we met with Andrzej to book the date, to checking out after the wedding, everything was just perfect and effortless for us.
Andrzej was always there for us and responded so quickly to every e-mail/ telephone call. He shared with us his expertise and ideas to make our ideas and wishes come true.

On the day of the wedding, the managers were all at hand to make sure everything ran smoothly. We felt so relaxed from the minute we arrived. It was the most amazing day of our lives and the staff went above and beyond to make that happen. One example of this is when a member of staff took it upon herself to go and get a non alcoholic glass of wine for our pregnant bridesmaid. These are the small little gestures that our guests are still talking about.

All our guests commented on just how relaxed our day was and how everything ran so smoothly and efficiently. They all fell in love with the hotel and its gorgeous surroundings. They spoke so highly on how fantastic the meal and service was throughout the whole day. No one could fault it.

We are so happy we booked Garryvoe Hotel for our wedding. We truly were treated like royalty and could not have asked for anything more. All the little touches and extras that Garryvoe staff do really make a Wedding day so unforgettable.

Wishing you all at Garryvoe every success in the future and I'm sure you will continue to be the best wedding venue in Cork for a very long time.

Shirley and Michael Hurley

Myself and my wife had an amazing wedding day at the Garryvoe. The location is beautiful, the hotel and its facilities are 5 star but the best thing about the hotel without doubt is the staff. They are superb. A lot of hotels hark on about being family run but the Garryvoe is the only one where I've actually noticed the difference the family run element makes. Proper personal service, always making sure you are happy with everything and the feeling of genuine interest in us and making sure we were happy with the plans. The food is amazing. Hands down - best wedding food I've ever had, prob best food full stop! Fresh, high quality served by excellent staff. Yes, the staff again but really they are so good! All our guests commented on them. The hotel even rang ahead to guests traveling down the night before from up the country to see if they'd like dinner when they arrived in case they'd miss the restaurant and they'd have something ready for them. Most hotels wouldn't bother. Again personal touch, makes a massive difference. I can't recommend the Garryvoe more highly. If you have any doubts - just go down and see the place, talk to the staff , wedding planner, you'll see what I'm talking about! Oh and the gin cocktails - I could go on and on. 5 star hotel all day long! Other hotels in the area just don't compare!

We had a fantastic wedding day in Garryvoe Hotel in June 2016. The Hotel has recently been refurbished and the transformation has been amazing so we were lucky that we could hold the drinks reception in the new Library which adds a whole new dimension to the Hotel.

The setting overlooking the beach is spectacular and the views from the Honeymoon Suite cannot be matched. A lot of our family and friends decided to spend a few days in the Hotel on the lead up to and following the Wedding so were able to relax and enjoy the on site swimming pool and spa facilities.

From the moment we booked the Hotel, Ben and Andre along with the rest of the Team could not have done anymore for us and they really did go above & beyond. As every couple knows, the lead up to the wedding can be very stressful but Ben really put us at ease and was more than willing to accommodate any requests that we had. All the staff played a huge part in making our day so memorable.

The day itself flew by and everything went brilliantly from the drinks reception, the meal and the wedding band. The Ballroom is huge and the seating area by the Bar is excellent too. The Hotel is well know for its food and the food on the day was excellent and the waiting staff kept producing more portions so you certainly won't be feeling hungry after the meal.

I would thoroughly recommend the Hotel to any couples getting married in the near future as you won't be disappointed. Believe us both when we say you won't regret booking the Hotel as it really is one of the best wedding venues in the country, taking into account the scenery, fantastic food and the brilliant staff. Only advice I would give couples is to book the Hotel early as it's nearly always booked up two years ahead for the summer months and you really don't want to miss out on having your big day there.

Neil and I wanted to say a huge thank you to the team for making our wedding day flawless. We honestly couldn't have wished for a better day/venue. The staff were an absolute credit to the venue and the local area. Nothing was ever a hassle, everything was set up like we wanted and the friendliness from everyone was infectious. A special mention to Liz who served our top table. She was outstanding. She put everyone at ease, made sure we had everything and kept us on track and made sure Neil & I ate on the day. But most of all she joined in on the fun. She put a nervous best man at ease. She was just fantastic. To the ladies at reception Maura, Tracy and Nina they were just so helpful and kind to our family and friends. We felt like they took a really genuine interest in our wedding and wanted to make sure everything was on track.

Since the wedding we have had so many compliments about the food and staff from our guests. Our guests were just so impressed with the quality and quantity of food. This for us was such an important thing.

Stephen from the moment we met him was amazing. It was so very clear from the outset what the venue would cost us. No added extra charges. Nothing was ever was a problem. Our guests were welcomed so warmly. Planning from abroad was made easy by choosing Garryvoe. We had a fantastic communication, extremely quick response rates and a detailed call to run through how we wanted our day to run.

Stephen was great at providing us information on local area such as bus company, taxi's and a venue for the next day celebrations.

We couldn't fault the venue, Service was amazing, We would highly recommend this venue to any future bride and grooms. If you want to feel no pressure and feel that everything is in control choose this venue.

My husband and myself got married in Ballycotton on the June bank holiday weekend and we had our reception in The Garryvoe Hotel . I can not speak highly enough of Andrzej and the team at the Garryvoe Hotel. From the moment we booked The Garryvoe as our venue the team were on hand to help with any little question. The team have huge experience in hosting wedding parties and it really shows, we had a totally stress free day and run up to the wedding and this was in no small part due to the help that was offered by The Garryvoe and the fact that we knew we could fully rely on the Garrryvoe to host a great day. we had over 280 people at our wedding, and not one guest was served a cold meal, was sitting in a spot where they couldn't see the top table or struggled to hear the speeches. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending the Garryvoe Hotel to any Bride or Groom.

Garryvoe has it all gorgeous scenery, fantastic food & service and the staff go above & beyond, I highly recommend Garryvoe. They played a huge part in making our day so memorable

We got married on 28th April 2016 and it was simply the greatest day for both of us. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more. A huge part of making the day so memorable was the help, professionalism and support from beginning to end from all the team at Garryvoe Hotel. We had looked at a few other venues before Garryvoe but within minutes of being greeted and shown around by Andrzej, we both knew Garryvoe was the place for us. The ballroom itself is gorgeous, the new Library drinks reception area was just so comfortable for all our guests to gather, listen to music and get into the party mood. We really enjoyed the menu tasting prior to the big day and we got numerous compliments from our guests on the tastiness of the food. Andrzej, Ben and all the staff are just so friendly and nothing ever seemed to be any trouble to them. We are so thankful to everyone at Garryvoe to looking after us and all our guests so well. We look forward already to going to back to celebrate our anniversary next year.

James and I had our wedding in Garryvoe on April last . It was the first hotel we looked at , we did not have to look any further . Andrezj was so helpful from the first day we met , and gave us some great advice .
The service from start to finish especially on the day was amazing , we are still getting people 10 weeks later complimenting the food . Everything was very relaxed we did not have to do anything . A special thanks to Liz who looked after us at the top table , she was so helpful and friendly to everyone .
We managed to get a few of our pictures on the beach which was a massive bonus . You could not ask for a nicer setting .
The honeymoon suite is amazing it is like a mini apartment with everything we stayed the two nights . Throughout the weekend the staff were really friendly we felt right at home . From start to finish all the staff at Garryvoe made planning our wedding very easy . Special thanks to Andrezj, Ben , Stephen and Liz for helping to made our day one to remember .
Thanks Paula & James

We had our wedding at Garryvoe Hotel in February and it was amazing. From the start of our planning from the UK the staff and management were extremely helpful right up until after our wedding (we stayed an extra couple of days). Our wedding day was amazing and the hotel catered for all our guests dietary requirements without any complications as well as facilitated our set up with our different entertainment arranged. The staff we're so welcoming and friendly and we look forward to returning in the future. They also ensured that the shiny new drinks reception area was ready for our wedding and it was a stunning transformation. A huge thank you to Andrzej, Ben and Liz and all the staff for making our day perfect in every way.

Last December we had our ceremony and our reception at the fabulous Garryvoe Hotel. From the moment we booked with them, the management and staff were so accommodating with any query we had. We were given the best advice regarding our day which ran so smoothly and we were made feel so welcome on our visits to Garryvoe before the big day.
We truly had a magnificent day and we couldn't have asked for more from management and staff. They made the day so easy, relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. All we had to do was turn up on the day without any worry and every single aspect was looked after down to the fine details. The hotel itself is beautiful and the bridal suite is everything and more you could ask for! The guest rooms are gorgeous, the food is amazing and it is the management and staff who truly give everything to make it a perfect, memorable day. Even the next morning at breakfast family and friends continued to receive the warmth and friendliness of staff as they had done on the previous day.
I would recommend any couple to have their wedding at Garryvoe, not only did we have the best day but our guests continued to tell us weeks after what a great day they too had at the hotel.

Steff and Shane

Garryvoe was the second hotel we visited when deciding where to have our wedding reception. We had never been to a wedding there previously and knew very little about it. We initially met Stephen and Andrzej and were very, very impressed with the hotel, the bridal suite, the management and the variety of options for us from the menu choices, to the drinks reception, to the main reception room layout. We had our wedding in December and there was a great xmas atmosphere/decor in the hotel. We were in contact with Stepehn, Andrzej and Ben at various different times in the build-up and they were excellent to deal with. We cannot speak highly enough of them. We were pretty clueless at the start and were unsure of what questions we should even be asking. They really held our hands through the pricing & decision making process and their advice was really great and welcoming. They were very accommodating and flexible and we knew as early as our first meeting that no other hotel could compete with Garryvoe in terms of advice, value and service. The same can be said for the full staff across the hotel. It really was the highest level of service you could wish for on your wedding day. Maura was exceptional/personable at the top table and ensured both families were looked after well. It was an amazing experience. We did not have any trouble or concerns from day 1. Everything was dealt with professionally and easily. The tasting evening was a fantastic experience and the quality of food was exceptional. We went with beef and monkfish in the end and it was faultless. Our Guests on the day still discuss the quality of food 6 months later. We and our guests were also very impressed with the rooms at the hotel and the bridal suite is fantastic. Some of the guests have gone back again to Garryvoe since and booked in for a night or 2. I really hope you find this review useful and informative and we honestly feel that this review still won't do Garryvoe and it's management justice. They really delivered brilliantly on everything they said they would do and helped us to fully relax and enjoy our day. We are very thankful to all at Garryvoe Hotel

Spectacular wedding venue, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. From our very first contact, Ben, Andrzej and all the staff were amazing, so helpful, so easy to contact, everything you would want. The wedding itself went without a hitch, everyone was commenting on the unbelievable function room, the beautiful hotel rooms and the (loads of) delicious food. We were so well taken care off, we really couldn't have asked for more.

From the very first day, when we had a meeting to see the hotel to the wedding itself. It was very obvious that our wedding was every bit as important to Andrezj and Stephen as it was to us. They were always their to help and the staff were great if we needed to call for anything. The day was fantastic well beyond our expectations. The food was amazing and the staff were so professional. It really was the little details on the day like the staff knowing all the top table by name etc. Just perfect, one amazing wedding venu.

Where do I start!! Garryvoe provided a 5 star service on our big day. We live in the UK so whichever venue we decided on entailed us placing our full trust in the hotel and its management. Within 5 minutes of visiting Garryvoe and meeting Andrzej, we knew that this was the venue for us. We were made to feel very much at ease and nothing was too much trouble. As with most of the hotels in Cork and Ireland, they are very well suited to the larger wedding however, we had an intimate wedding with 45 guests. Some other venues had limitations to our options because of this, but not with Garryvoe, anything we asked for was accommodated. The bridal suite is absolutely to die for!! In fact all of our guests mentioned how lovely their rooms were and the food was absolutely to die for, could not ask for better.
The whole run up to the wedding was so stress free and this was mainly down to Garryvoe. On top of a 5 star service with beautiful surroundings, this all came at a very reasonable price which is so refreshing when it comes to weddings.
All in all, I would have no hesitation in recommending Garryvoe and the team for the beautiful surroundings, gorgeous venue, amazing food but above all top class service and staff! Thank you so much to Stephen, Andrzej and all the team for make our special day so amazing!

Fantastic hotel and staff, 5* service would highly recommend this hotel

After attending our friends wedding a few years ago in the Garryvoe we instantly fell in love with the place and after 13 years together and a new baby boy we knew there was nowhere else we would rather begin our new chapter then in this fantastic hotel.
From the moment we set a date, to meal tastings, little meetings in between, and to the big day itself....Ben and all of the staff just made everything so easy for us and we just knew that everything would run as smoothly as it did on the day....as we kept saying- they just "know" how to do weddings properly after all the years experience they have! We were not one bit surprised when they won their Wedding Venue of the year award earlier this year....which was just so well deserved in our opinion.
Just a few highlights which made our choice an easy one were: The Location- not only is the hotel in the most gorgeous location on the beach but there are so many lovely little spots near for photos etc (we got married in the Star of the Sea Church in Ballycotton (less then ten mins away) which in on a height overlooking Ballycotton harbour- the views were just fantastic).
The Hotel Itself- The huge Ballroom with its Chandeliers and Candelabras was just so idyllic and when you think of the perfect wedding reception, this room is what you think of- its amazing! Then there is the Bridal Suite.....I don't think i can describe here how truly unbelievable the bridal suite is....it kind of has to be seen to be believed.....2 floors, balconies, steam room, Jacuzzi Bath, Dining area, and a view of Ballycotton lighthouse....We really had a hard time settling back home after the few days in it! The Food was another major factor in choosing the Garryvoe- its not only delicious but there is such a choice and we had a hard time choosing after our meal tasting as we just loved everything we had tasted.
The staff are second to none in the hotel too in my opinion- here was no request to big and anything we wanted from candy tables to drinks reception and candles to bathroom baskets....down to guest bookings and everything in between nothing was a big deal to them and they just sorted everything for us with no stress.
I could keep going on, but in short the Garryvoe is a fantastic wedding venue and we would recommend it to anyone thinking of getting married in the near future.
Again, we would just like to thank everyone in the hotel for making our day such a special one- We, our son and all our family had an absolutely amazing few days and now have some great memories and plan on making many more trips in years to come to make more!

Michael & Aoife

Hi Everyone,

I choose Garryvoe Hotel as I had attended a wedding there in 2013 and found the service, food and setting excellent. The bride and groom also highly recommended it after the wedding.

We got married on the 7th of August this year (2015) and the Team in Garryvoe could not have been more helpful in the preparation of our big day. They gave sound practical advice in organising a wedding for the big crowd that was attending. They were flexible in the arrangements of menus and wine. They always responded swiftly to phone call and email queries. Any request that was made for the big day was facilitated. I had a plan of how I wanted to have the reception and function room organised and they had it done to the tee on the day. The staff were so kind and gave our guests a warm welcome on arrival. The food was excellent even when catering for a large wedding of 270. Guests wine glasses were topped up regularly which is always what you want to get a good night off to a great start!

Andrzej was the main manager we dealt with and he was super at his job. We enjoyed dealing with him as he was so practical in the way he thought and had a great way with people. We also dealt with Ben and Stephen closer to the day and they were very professional. The staff were all excellent on the day and guests commented on this also.

Garryvoe hotel is overlooking the beach and we were able to get some fabulous photos there. The bridal suite is amazing with two floors and a glorious view of the beach and lighthouse.

We would highly recommend it as a wedding venue!

Such an amazing wedding venue, we couldn't recommend Andrzej and the team highly enough. We were organising our wedding from Sydney, so whenever we had any questions about the menu etc Andrzej was always so quick to respond he really made the whole process really easy for us and put our minds at ease. The venue itself is amazing, the ballroom and bridal suite is stunning, the food was absolutely gorgeous all our guests were still talking about it weeks after our wedding.
I always wanted a beachside wedding and I definitely was not disappointed with The Garryvoe Hotel.
We can't wait to stay at the hotel when we come back to Ireland next year

Hi Andrezj,

It's so nice to hear from you. Of course, I would be thrilled to provide a testimonial for the amazing Garryvoe Hotel:

From the minute we arrived to Garryvoe, a year and a half before our wedding date, we were made feel so special. Time was never an issue and we felt so at ease dealing with Andrezj, Stephen and Ben. Any meetings we had were relaxed, informative and lasted for any length we saw fit, to answer our queries. No stone was ever left unturned with the precise manner and attention to detail that was shown by all members of staff in Garryvoe Hotel. Planning our special day to exactly the way we wanted it was equally the aim shared by everyone in Garryvoe. Andrezj was amazing to deal with, his friendly and enthusiastic manner was fantastic and really enthused us also, as a result. He always answered our queries and questions promptly and realistically. The entire day itself was planned to absolute perfection! What can we say, Garryvoe Hotel know weddings like nobody else! We really felt that the whole team in Garryvoe were behind us and did their absolute upmost to ensure we had the best day of our lives, which we most certainly did! The personal, friendly and approachable manner exhibited by all staff is something we really want to highlight and commend. With particular mention to the detail in which the staff set up our sweet cart, drinks reception, bespoke table plan, guest signature sheet and thumb print portrait. The staff even laid out little jars with crochet collars my mother maid with flowers inside that I had delivered the day before in quite a hurry. No request was ever declined or questioned, instead , all the team rowed in and exceeded our expectations, creating a fabulous exhibit for all our guests. Communication amongst staff members is superb. Rest assured, if you say something once in the Garryvoe Hotel, it is noted and carried out with tremendous efficiency.
More importantly, the meal was superb. All of our 270 guests were served all at the same time and the food was presented beautifully, was fresh, piping hot and most importantly tasted beautiful. The fillet of beef was divine along with the medley of desserts that we actually designed ourselves. Andrezj and the chefs had no problem at all in us 'tweeking' one or two deserts slightly as we wished. Friends of mine who are coeliac admitted that it was the best wedding they were ever at in terms of how their dietary requirements were catered for & in such a discrete and professional manner-well done. This was no different for some members of the bridal party who had specific dietary requirements, they were thrilled and reassured, knowing they would be able to eat a meal they knew they liked in comfort.
The refreshments served later in the night were equally amazing with home cooked ham in the sandwiches alongside other fresh local produce. All of ten staff working on the night knew our names on the top table, this was something I notched and was very impressed with. The sheer manners and courtesy shown to us and all our guests was outstanding. The band, DJ photographer and videographer were all welcomed wholeheartedly into the Garryvoe Hotel by staff members and were looked after.
The dreaded task of the table plan was actually done with ease with the invaluable advice received by Andrezj, Stephen and Ben. They all worked tirelessly to help us throughout the whole process.
From start to finish our experience of dealing with The Garryvoe Hotel was enjoyable and most certainly fruitful, for we had the best day of our lives!!! Our families and friends have been commending the hotel since and a few have already made plans to visit again. For any couples who are considering Garryvoe as their wedding reception venue , I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. Being reasonably local to Garryvoe myself, I would love to commend the overall community feel within the hotel. The friendly , efficient and impressive team work approach is so apparent once you step foot into the hotel.
Lastly, we will definitely look forward to celebrating many more special occasions in the Garryvoe Hotel in the forthcoming months and years. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to ALL the staff and particularly to Andrejz who we made a particularly special connection with.

On behalf of myself and my husband we would like to thank the management and staff at garryvoe hotel for their outstanding service provided on our wedding day on July 25th 2015 and for our second night which we also had in the hotel. The staff couldn't have done anymore than what they did for us. From the food to the drink entertainment hospitality our day went without a glitch and that for us made it so enjoyable and forever memorable. Our guests still to this day ten months later when we meet them rave about the food and the venue which is so nice for us to hear. We have recommended this hotel to anyone we meet who is going to get married and We cannot wait to come back for another stay. Thanking you all so much Mr and Mrs Brian O Keeffe xx

As a wedding venue, I could not think of a more friendly, professional, understanding, beautiful and accommodating place. We had such an amazing experience and were blown away by the staff who were willing to go above and beyond to ensure we were looked after both on the day itself and beforehand (in fact the service continued after the wedding day as well).

Food: Above par (guests were very pleased).
Service: Extremely good (glasses continuously being filled, reception always there to help in any way, etc.)
Room: The bridal suite was outstanding with a great view. It's perks were the 2 levels (opportunity to host a small gathering the following night upstairs around the large dining table), a Jacuzzi, a sauna, gorgeous view and a very comfy bed.
Our guests also commented on their own individual rooms with positivity.
Value: Very simply... Great value!

We have no criticisms and would recommend it to anyone.

I attended a wedding reception held at the Garryvoe Hotel and was lucky enough to stay over the two nights of celebration. The hotel is amazing; comfortable, clean, decor excellent. The location is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and helpful.?The food was excellent, well prepared and hot.
Excellent.

We just wanted to say huge thank you to the garryvoe team for making our day so special and memorable, it really was outstanding! right down from the mangers to the reception staff they could not do enough for us. a big thank you again and we will certainly be stopping by again soon!

What an fantastic choice we made in choosing Garryvoe for our wedding venue. The management were extremely accommodating in every way. On our day we were both able to fully relax and enjoy ourselves knowing it was all in safe hands.
The staff were super friendly & professional.
The food was to die for & the venue magical.
Oh and the honeymoon suite is out of this world!

Would I recommend Garryvoe to people? Absolutely!

We were recently married in the Garryvoe Hotel and I could not praise the hotel enough!! It is the perfect venue from start to finish. From the very first day we viewed the hotel until our Wedding Day the service we received was just fantastic!!
The ballroom is just wow and all the staff are so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. And that bridal suite was some views, great for pictures too!!
It goes without saying, the food & service was beyond amazing, so much so we've gone back several times for family occasions and Sunday Lunch too!!
I would highly recommend the Garryvoe Hotel to everyone looking for the perfect Wedding Venue!!

I couldn't possibly say enough about Garryvoe Hotel! From our first visit down there, to every visit and phonecall in between, the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating in every way. We fell in love with the place as soon as we went down there. The ballroom in particular is just magnificent and took my breath away. By the time we were shown the bridal suite, we knew that that was where we were going to have our reception.

In the lead up to the wedding, a member of staff was always available to talk to, even if we just happened to drop in to the hotel. In the days before the wedding, we were able to drop bits and pieces off at the hotel and left instructions and they were set up for us on the day of the wedding, no problem.

Everything went so smoothly, absolutely nothing went wrong in the hotel and we weren't bothered by staff asking us lots of questions or looking for direction. The only time we were asked about anything was when the Prosecco was running low and did we want to put out a few more bottles.

They run a very tight ship down there and were like a well oiled machine. All the staff were fantastic to deal with and our guests were very impressed. I was particularly impressed that all the meals came out in great time - all within about five minutes of the top table being served. Dinner was served promptly and didn't drag out.

We had decided to hire a florist to do the centrepieces and there was no problem with her coming down and setting up either.

We were so happy with our day - anything we asked for was accommodated. If you choose to have your wedding day in Garryvoe - you will not be disappointed. Our wedding day happened to be literally the wettest day of the year so far and it did not stop all day and night - the hotel was so fantastic, no one even noticed!

I would recommend Garryvoe with a heart and a half - let them help you create the happiest day of your life!

5* service from start to finish. Absolutely everyone we dealt with throughout the planning, on the day and even after the Wedding were superb. They couldn't have done any more for us. The whole team there made the experience as relaxing and enjoyable as it is supposed to be. No detail was too big or small. Every time we met with Andrzej, he suggested one or two ideas which added to the overall occasion. The hotel and its team are just amazing simple as that, Would recommend again and again. 10/10 Thanks Guys, John and Grace

We had the most amazing day on our wedding day in garryvoe hotel, the management and the staff could not do enough for us. The venue and wedding suite are fantastic. Thanks again to garryvoe hotel for making our day so special.

From the time we walked in to view venue we were well looked after. Very informative, polite and helpful. Amazing views, fantastic bridal suite and a great day had by all.

Everybody says that your weding day is the best day of your life and after ours I truly believe this and this was mostly due to Garryvoe Hotel. From the first consultation down to the day itself,the staff were amazing they gave every minute of the process a real personal touch. We had the pleasure of organising our big day with Ben the wedding co coordinator. He was so attentive and precise down to every last detail. He was always easily contactable by phone or email which was really re assuring. If he was not available Andreaz another coordinator was more then happy to help and was also amazing on the day. When choosing our menu for the big day there was an abundance of choice . The meal tasting evening was beautiful the staff were so attentive and were brilliant to give their expert advice when making our selections. They made us feel comfortable and gave us lots of time to make our choice's. The Day itself was perfect everything ran smoothly throughout. The service during the meal was flawless the staff were so friendly and the food was impeccable. We had the pleasure of having a lovely lady called Liz looking after us for the day and she made us feel like royalty her manner, friendliness and attention to detail was the finishing touch on the day. The bridal suite in the Garryvoe Hotel is out of this world the views and the d?cor our breath taking we didn't want to leave. The memories we made over the weekend in Garryvoe will never be forgotten. I would recommend the venue to all future brides and grooms without any hesitation.

Amazing Wedding December 2014! Thank you to Garryvoe Hotel who went that extra mile to make sure our wedding day ran as smoothly as possible. From the beginning Ben Sharkey, Andrzej, Stephen and all the reception staff were a pleasure to deal with. We had our ceremony in the ?Strand Ballroom? with our reception in the newly refurbished ?Grand Ballroom?. It was beyond what we could have imagined, from the helpfulness of the Managers, Administration Staff and the Waiting staff on our wedding day nothing was too big or small to deal with. The Hotel is fabulous in itself and at Christmas time it is that extra bit special! Garryvoe were a pleasure to deal with from the beginning and so quick to respond to any queries we had and on the day itself were always on hand ?just in case?!! I would have no hesitation recommending The Garryvoe Hotel to any future Bridal Couples out there for a Civil Ceremony and/or Wedding Reception!!! Excellent Location, Superb Staff and the food will blow you away!!..

I had heard loads of positive things from other people who had their wedding here which was a factor in why I looked at Garryvoe in the first place. From the day we went down to look at the hotel to the day we got married I can only describe our experience with them as amazing. We were treated like ours was the only wedding in the hotel which made us feel so special. Every single staff member were so friendly and professional.
I would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding for a number of reasons - amazing food, the function room is gorgeous especially at night when the lights are dimmed and change to all different colours. You don't have to pay money for things like chair covers and centrepieces as the chairs don't need to be covered here and the hotel provides centre pieces. The bridal suite has to be seen to be believed! Two floors of luxury. Outside of all this the managers are such a pleasure to deal with. Planning a wedding can often be stressful but I never once had a second of stress or anxiety when dealing with the managers here. If anything Garryvoe makes it feel like a wonderful experience. this really is a five star wedding experience!

I couldn't recommend Garryvoe Hotel enough for your wedding day they certainly made ours very special,a special thanks to Andrej such a lovely person to deal with and made all the planning so easy,we had an amazing day and are so thankful to the staff at Garryvoe Hotel who were all so friendly and helpful,if you are thinking of Garryvoe Hotel for your wedding day I would definitly advise you to go and check it out you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful venue very professional but friendly staff good food over all a perfect day for the bride and groom

Hi Garryvoe
I just wanted to drop you a quick line just to thank you so much for all your work with our wedding.

Everything was first class from we entered the hotel until we checked out the following morning and we really couldn't of wished for more.

All your help and work in the months running up to the wedding was amazing and everything we asked for wasn't a problem and we greatly appreciate it.

Everyone who was at the wedding has been raving about the hotel from the food to the staff, which were outstanding on the day, and joe was amazing, so helpful and friendly to everyone!

So once again thank you so much for everything, I will be recommending the hotel to all my friends who will be getting married in the future

My partner and I chose the Garryvoe Hotel for our wedding ceremony and reception after considering many, many hotels in Cork and Waterford. On our first visit, we were blown away by the courteousness of the staff, the impeccable cleanliness, and the overall experience of visiting the Garryvoe.

In the run-up to the big day, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, especially Laura at Reception and Manager, Andrzej. Everything on the day was perfect, the layout of the ceremony room, the tea and coffee reception, the ballroom and, of course, the service. Dinner was exceptional, with the dining staff even offering extra helpings! I honestly couldn't praise the hotel enough.

Even though the cost was a little higher than other hotels in the area, you get exactly what you pay for. High quality and excellent service guaranteed. I couldn't fault the hotel or the staff and would definitely recommend it to any couple looking for their wedding hotel.

We also stayed in the Bridal Suite for two nights, and wow! It was fantastic, and the room service was fantastic. The overall experience really made our wedding day perfect!

''Garryvoe Hotel is fabulous! I was at many weddings there (as it is local) and I've never had a complaint. Their food is fab and the staff are great. They have done the whole hotel up in the last few years and it is amazing. The ballroom is large with mood lighting and everything. And I've been in the bridal suite and it is to die for!!! And it's right on the seaside so it's a great spot for photos. I could rave on and on about it but it really is a great hotel and you'd be well looked after. I couldn't recommend it enough!''

To Andrzej, the management and all the staff at the Garryvoe Hotel, sincere thanks for helping us make our special day so perfect. Each and every staff member was a pleasure to deal with and so welcoming and friendly. It's a day we'll never forget.

To Andrzej, thanks for all your help and advice and for making our wedding day such a special one. Best wishes!

Ben, Andrzej and all at the Garryvoe- thank you so much to everyone for all that you did for our wedding weekend.
See you shortly.

Dear Stephen and all the staff at Garryvoe- Julie and I just want to thank you for the wonderful sevice you provided for us on the 1st of January.
We had an absolutely magical day and Garryvoe was a very big part of of it.
