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.

The wedding was organised very well, we had a fantastic time on the day. Thanks to Melanie and other staff to helped us that day. I highly recommend Clontarf Castle Hotel to my friends who want to have a wedding in Dublin. Best regards, Qishan and Mingze

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!

Staff is very friendly and helpful and the service is great. We had the best experience.

Clontarf were exceptional from start to finish. Particular mention to Rachel Clarke our wedding coordinator, she was truly the reason our day was so special. She managed the whole thing perfectly from the day we chose Clontarf as our venue until our big day. Jonathan the manager ensured everything went smoothly and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Thank you Clontarf Castle! xoxo

Clontarf exceeding all of my expectations. We had such a wonderful experience and are thrilled with how it turned out. The food and servers were both awesome. Highly recommend this venue and the great hall and Viking suite. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special.

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.

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!




by Barbara & Graham on Tue, 16th October, 2018
We had a fantastic wedding day at Clontarf Castle, our food and service were excellent, the room was perfect although a little hot. Rachel was with us every step of the way advising and supporting us, and although she couldn't be there on our special day she left us in very capable hands.




by Lucie on Wed, 10th October, 2018
Rachael Clarke was particularly good to deal with. She made our preparation as easy as possible and we felt we were in safe hands. The other staff were also excellent and lots of guests commented on the quality of food and service.

Can't praise Clontarf Castle highly enough!! The wedding planner Rachel Clarke and her team are magnificent! All angles were covered.

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.

It was an absolute fairy-tale come true. Everything went absolutely perfect. Couldn't be happier with the service received by the staff

The food, ambience and service were excellent. Rachael, Ciara and all the rest of the staff really were so easy to deal with. The room looked fantastic on the day without us having to do a whole lot extra. We had a great party that we will remember for many years. And the bridal suite and breakfast next day were second to none.




by Peter on Thu, 4th October, 2018
Our wedding coordinator Rachel was exceptional! She paid meticulous attention to detail throughout the process, all staff (from the waiters, managers, chef) were friendly and professional. They really go the extra mile to make your day special.




by Sharyn on Thu, 4th October, 2018
We would highly recommend Clontarf Castle as a wedding venue. Rachael and her team were outstanding and gave us our dream wedding beyond our expectations. From the moment we booked it, the professionalism and attention to detail we received was second to none. Amazing staff, beautiful setting and our only wish is that we could do it all over again.

We had our wedding in the Tower Suite in Clontarf Castle. From start to finish the Wedding Coordinator and staff at the hotel could not help enough. Clontarf Castle is an amazing venue with a lovely castle feel but with a modern twist. Food was amazing and certainly excellent value for money. From start to finish the hotel and its staff made us feel so welcome. Despite being a small wedding party, nothing was too much trouble. The attention to detail was superb and the hotel provides amazing extras no matter what size wedding party is being catered for. Clontarf Castle has one wedding a day policy so our wedding was definitely their focus of the day. We had an amazing day in Clontarf castle. Our guests were extremely impressed and delighted with the hotel's rooms and attention to their needs also. We can not recommend Clontarf castle and their wedding Coordinator Rachel enough. No matter the size of the wedding or which of their 3 superb venues you choose you will be made feel so important.

Hi, just wanted to say that from the moment we first walked into Clontarf castle we got this lovely feeling about this marvellous special hotel and when we were greeted by Rachael Clarke the hotels wedding coordinator we were hooked. Her professional, warm, caring, friendly personality won us over and for this we are forever grateful. She was so helpful in every meeting up to the big day and on the day, and after our meetings, we were left reassured that all was in control and 100% at ease in her company. Rachel and Jason ( general manager ) and the friendly team in the castle couldn't have been better, we are again chuffed we chose Clontarf castle for our special day. Jason is such a gentleman and his attention to detail is obvious why he is in charge . Overall the hotel experience was outstanding , the room on the day was beautiful , the bar staff, the management, the service and of course the fabulous food which is still being talked about, all the surprises on the day from the staff from the photos of us arriving printed onto the menus an hour later, these little things really made the day and all the guests are still saying they had the best wedding. Can't recommend this fantastic venue and amazing staff enough, want to do it all again. Thanks for everything, Yours gratefully Brendan and Colm.

The attention to detail was superb not only for us but for our wedding party and also our families staying. The wedding venue and hotel itself is stylish and elegant but with a very welcoming environment from the moment you arrive. The food was excellent and the guests were very complimentary on the menu. The hotel catered for all dietary requirements to a very high standard. We can not recommend Rachel and her team and also Clontarf castle and all their staff for making our wedding stay so special.

Would highly recommend Clontarf Castle to any couple. Clontarf is perfect for anyone looking for a classy venue with top class food and service in close proximity to Dublin, especially for any couples looking to cater for a large amount of guests. The welcome we received when initially visiting Clontarf Castle was second to none. As we discussed the finer details it was immediately clear to us that the castle were extremely flexible and would do whatever they could to create the perfect day! Needless to say this was borne out on the day day itself! Everything went without a hitch and we could really relax and enjoy the occasion in the beautiful surrounds of the castle. Our heartfelt thanks to Rachael and all the team for exceeding our high expectations in every department!




by Rachel on Thu, 1st February, 2018
Absolutely perfect, the wedding team were a amazing everything went a without a hitch couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. All our queries were answered promptly, the food was some of the best I've had would love to do it all over again!

Our wedding day at Clontarf Castle Hotel was a truly special day in every sense of the word, all due to the warmth, professionalism, efficiency and flexibility of the hotel's amazing staff and their most elegant and beautiful castle hotel and grounds. Having our wedding just before Christmas was extra special as the magical, festive atmosphere created by the staff was exceptional and added hugely to the enjoyment of our special day. Guests who travelled from abroad were particularly impressed with Clontarf Castle Hotel as a wedding venue and, like my husband and I, have very fond and special memories of their experience there. A special word of thanks goes to our wedding co-ordinator, Marianne Fanning, who I would highly recommend to any future bride. Marianne's warmth and rapport made it very easy to deal with her. She was extremely helpful, organised and flexible, most accommodating and displayed very good attention to detail. She was there when we needed her and promptly responded to any queries we had. The warmth extended by Marianne, and the rest of the staff, to my husband and I was so much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day at Clontarf Castle Hotel and would highly recommend it as an ideal wedding venue.
