We had an amazing date at Clontarf Castle. The staff looked after every detail. We used the Viking suite as it was just a small group. I have no complaints, it was brilliant! They even went out of their way to accommodate my Dad who is in a wheelchair and he had a great day. The food was fabulous. I'd love to do it all again!

Well, what can I say.....words aren't enough to express how AMAZING this venue is. Myself and my husband got married here at the end of November and just want to give a special shout-out to Monica, Sarah, Leo, and Matti. They were the absolute A-Team and couldn't have looked after us better. From our first meeting with the wedding team right up to our big day Clontarf Castle could not have done enough for us. You all played a major part in making our special day the success it was, so thank you! I think every single guest has commented on the dinner, I've heard the steaks were to die for and cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef for the food. It was fabulous. Even our day 2 finger food was next level as was the service. If you're thinking of having your wedding at Clontarf Castle, we couldn't recommend more.

We wanted to say thank you and well done to the team for an excellent wedding day and night of 31.12.23! The positive feedback as well from our guests came flooding in after the wedding and in particular, the food was noted as being exceptional. From the venue, the hall, the facilities, the decorations, and the staff, including the manager covering the late night shift, we could not be happier.

We got married in Clontarf castle on the 14th Jan in a slightly different wedding day style. We had immediate family for our ceremony and a meal after and we invited all our friends and family from 6 pm. We offered food around 6, 8, and 10 pm and Clontarf castle was so supportive of all our requirements. Everything flowed so well! It was an amazing day. The only thing I would say is they don’t allow this type of wedding on a Friday or Saturday and the overall cost is not too different from a traditional wedding so I think they need to rethink this! The food was amazing and so was the service! Highly recommend

Myself & Enda wanted to say thank you to you and the whole team at the Castle for our wonderful wedding experience. We had a truly wonderful and magical day, from the moment we all arrived that Friday, we were all welcomed so warmly, and nothing was too much to ask of any of you. Everyone who attended has just not stopped complimenting the hotel and they’re all so impressed. We genuinely had the best day ever and you and the team were as much a part of that as any of us.

On behalf of Michael and I, a massive thank you to you, Leo and all the staff at Clontarf Castle. Every second comment to me on Thursday was about how beautiful the castle is, how genuinely lovely the staff were and how the meal was the best wedding meal they'd ever had (people couldn't believe they got duck for a starter!). Andrew and Leo, you guys were so kind to me and Michael, we are so unbelievably grateful to you both. Please feel free to share this with all of your colleagues from Thursday. Your hotel is one of a kind!

We want to thank you so much for everything yourself and your colleagues did to make our day so special. Everything went so smoothly, and that was all down to your hard work. A lot of our guests complimented how beautiful the hotel is, and how friendly and helpful the staff are. Thanks again for all the hard work we had a brilliant day.

Our Wedding was like a Fairy Tale. The Moment we entered the Castle it was a wow feeling. This was my first time to visit the Castle. The staff, the decor, the colour, the Christmas trees, the food, the service was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We will always remember this very Special Covid-19 Wedding.

WOW! WHAT CAN I SAY? CLONTARF CASTLE WERE ABSOLULTEY AMAZING! WE, LIKE MANY COUPLES, HAD TO RE-ARRANGE OUR WEDDING A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. WE BOOKED THE WEDDING WITH CLONTARF CASTLE WITH JUST THREE WEEKS TO GO. THE STAFF WERE EXCELLENT, NOTHING WAS A PROBLEM! THE DAY WAS AMAZING AND THE VENUE IS JUST PERFECT! MELAINE, CIARA AND ASH WERE JUST SO PROFESSIONAL! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE TO ANY COUPLES PLANNING THEIR BIG DAY. IT IS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY TOO! ONE ASPECT THAT REALLY BLEW ME AWAY: I PACKED EVERYTHING FOR MY THREE YEAR SON BUT OF COURSE FORGOT TO PACK A SOOTHER! BOBBY WAS GETTING VERY UNSETTLED AND WOULD NOT REST UNTIL HE HAD A SOOTHER AND I ASKED THE STAFF IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY SOMEONE COULD GO AND GET A SOOTHER AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES WE HAD A NEW PACK OF SOOTHERS. I WILL BE FOREVER GREATFUL TO CLONTARF CASTLE FOR THIS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

From our very first visit Rachael and team were so nice and friendly. We were presented with something to eat and drink as we came straight from work for the majority of the meetings which was a lovely touch. Anything we asked for was no problem at all. The day went so well and it was thanks to the wonderful staff. Clontarf Castle now holds a very special place in our hearts and we will definitely be regular guests! Thank you Clontarf Castle! xoxo

We were thrilled to bits with the staff at Clontarf Castle. Our wedding day was amazing. The food was exquisite. We didnt need much decorations, the hotel is so beautiful already. We had our ceremony there too and had we only had 70 guests so we didn't go for the function room but had our meal in the restaurant and then down to the Indigo Lounge so there was lots of variety. All our guests had a brilliant day even those who don't normally like weddings, for many it was the best wedding they were ever at and the photos taken in the castle are fab.

My husband+I strongly recommend Clontarf Castle to any couples looking for a wedding venue. Our experience started off with Ciara showing us around, giving us some history+showing us our options in terms of menus+rooms we could use. We knew after that meeting with Ciara that we wanted our wedding at this place. We were then introduced to Rachael who was our wedding co-ordinator. Rachel was absolutely amazing to deal with, nothing was ever any trouble for her+she took so much stress out of it with her organisation skills+giving us advise that we can genuinly say that organising our wedding was so stress free+so enjoyable. Sarah was also incredible to deal with+we found her advise+experience was so valuable too. We cant recomnend this venue enough+we had a thoroughly amazing day. Thanks to all the 3 girls for your professionalisn, help+support+thanks for decorating our room so beautifully as well :)

Clontarf Castle is a beautiful venue, and we fell in love with it from the moment we entered. Both the inside and the outside are really impressive. The food was delicious and the wedding co-ordinator Rachael was fantastic. Everything was well handled and always dealt with in a professional way. The staff in every area, the bar, reception, and in the hall itself were very attentive. The negatives were very few. We got married in August on a hot day and we found the main function room (The Great Hall) to be extremely hot. The air conditioning wasn't adequate. The only other negative was the food tasting. This takes place on a weekday which was very disappointing. Other hotels offer a tasting on the weekend where you can relax and enjoy some wine if wanted. As my husband had work that day, and work the next day, we didn't feel like it was as enjoyable as it could have been. Other hotels offer a night's stay on the day of your tasting, and this would have been greatly appreciated. This was the most disappointing thing as we felt it could have been more special for us, and we felt that it wouldn't have caused much hassle or stress to the hotel to organise. In all, we were really glad we chose Clontarf Castle as our wedding venue, and I would recommend it to other newly engaged couples!

Can't praise Clontarf Castle highly enough!! The wedding planner Rachel Clarke and her team are magnificent! All angles were covered. Rachel's pre-wedding checklist is comprehensive so even if you've forgotten something, she hasn't! The team are very flexible in accommodating any other requests outside the norm and on the day itself they discretely keep everyone honest from arrival through to the end of the night. A great event is 90% planning, 10% execution and with Clontarf Castle it's flawless. Our wedding was in the Great Hall having 174 guests, with the bar in the room. The hall size was just perfect, the food was fabulous and served hot to every guest. The service team were excellent and were very engaging with the guests and the venue itself is so full of character it's easy to forgot you're only a stone throw away from the city centre. It really was our perfect day.
