As you can imagine the build up to our wedding during this very difficult time with COVID-19 was very hard, but we really wanted to go ahead with our date for this year which was the 9th of October. I cannot praise Knockranny enough, they were just wonderful to us and in particular Claire Concannon there was nothing she could not do for us. A couple of days before our wedding the numbers went from fifty to twenty five. but when I rang Claire to advise her that we were going ahead she reassured me that all would be fine. When we arrived the night before Claire had moved the wedding venue to a smaller room and it was just wonderful. So all went so well and really that was down to the management and staff from Knockranny. Ourselves and our families had a great weekend and like I said Knockranny made it feel all normal. I cannot recommend Knockranny highly enough for a wedding venue. From the food, the hotel venue it is just wonderful. It is somewhere that myself and Shaun rate so highly and will come back to stay there with our family and friends again very soon. Thanks again, Thelma & Shaun McLaughlin.

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny House Hotel on Friday 3rd January 2020. From our first visit, we just knew it was the place for us! The hotel is absolutely stunning - so beautifully decorated, and even though it is quite large, there is a really intimate feel. It had everything we were looking for - our dream venue. Claire Concannon, the wedding coordinator, is amazing!! Her vast experience and confidence in her role was obvious as soon as we met her – she was so accommodating and gave us fantastic advice throughout our planning. She was always available over email or phone and we knew we were in capable hands. We were the hotel’s last wedding of a very busy Christmas season, but in the days before, the staff made us feel like we were the only wedding they had to think about - we called to the hotel on numerous occasions during this time and there was always someone waiting to meet us and help us however they could. These meetings made us feel so relaxed as we could tell that everything was under control. My family and I stayed in the hotel the night before the wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! The penthouse is amazing and so luxurious; it was the perfect backdrop for our preparation and the morning photos. We had total trust in Claire and her team (a special word of thanks to Nick and Michael!). We were treated like royalty – nothing was too much to ask, but we didn’t have to ask because they had it covered! The day ran so smoothly and was even more wonderful than we ever could have imagined. Our guests were so impressed with everything about the hotel, and the food was incredible. Knockranny are the wedding experts. The food is outstanding, the ballroom is beautiful, the rooms are classic and elegant, and the staff are superb. We wouldn’t change a thing about our day. If you’re looking for excellent and professional service, and you want your wedding day to be perfect, look no further!

To Nick & Claire, Thank you for hosting our wedding in Knockranny on the 1st November 2019. We had a Fantastic weekend and all our guests were so impressed with the hotel & the Food. (and the Crisp Sandwiches) Thanks to Claire fir Organising our Booking and a special Thanks to nick for running the whole weekend. Nick was so helpful, kind & professional the whole time. we look forward to returning for our anniversary.

Please do not hesitate in booking the Knockranny House Hotel for your wedding reception! Claire, the wedding coordinator, is the ultimate professional. She was truly amazing from start to finish, with no request being too big or too small for her. Everything on our wedding day went so seamlessly. The food & service was impeccable. Claire really went above and beyond on the day. She even made sure the bottom of my shoes were clean after taking photographs outside! The hotel owners, Geraldine and Adrian, also checked in on us throughout the night; again showing utmost kindness and professionalism. I cannot recommended Claire and the team at Knockranny House Hotel enough. Our wedding reception was nothing short of perfect, and for that we cannot thank you enough! Laura & Colm Boyle xxx

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding day so perfect. From the very first day that we came to visit the hotel, you could have not been more helpful and professional. Nothing was ever too big an ask and we always had complete faith that everything was always in control and that we never had anything to worry about. The day itself could not have been more special. Each and every staff member that we dealt with was so kind, complementary, helpful and engaging with us and our families, and everyone left the hotel with such fantastic memories. So much so that my sisters, aunts and I are coming back for afternoon tea next weekend!! Claire, thank you so so much once again for everything.

Everyone had a fantastic day all round!! What more can i say! The wedding co-ordinator, Claire, is phenomenal at her job. She honestly could not do more to help us and was constantly checking in to make everything was going okay. The table and bar staff were also exceptional. We still have people commenting on how good the dinner was, with many saying it's the best wedding dinner they have ever gotten. We cannot reccomend Knockranny House Hotel enough.

What can I say about Claire and all the staff and Knockranny. Firstly, Claire met my husband and I and gave us a wonderful tour of the hotel, the rooms, the suites and the function room. We had an amazing tasting night where we got to sample fabulous food and treat our mammies! The hardest part was choosing from all the wonderful dishes. During the run up to the wedding we had lots of meetings between dropping over our decorations to seeing a wedding in action. No job was too small and no stone was left unturned by Claire and her team. We had a breathtaking suite for our wedding night, the food was outstanding on the day and the decorations were amazing. The whole day ran without a hitch and we are so happy we chose Knockranny for our special day! I would not hesitate to recommend it to any couple! We were made feel so welcome on the day and I especially want to thank Geraldine who made so many of the guests feel welcome! Thank you so much Claire for everything! Warmest wishes Aileen and John x

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny last August.... I couldn’t sing their praises highly enough. From the moment we met Claire (Wedding Co-Ordinator and Events Manager) she made us feel so at ease. We had met with other Co-Ordinators in different hotels, but it was Claire’s professionalism and helpfulness that ultimately made us decide on Knockranny as our reception venue. From that day forward Claire looked after us with her genuine kindness and patience and made our whole experience so enjoyable. Nothing we asked of her was too much trouble - accommodating and guiding us through the whole planning. The day itself couldn’t have gone better, the hotel is simply beautiful; with the views and location. I’ve attended weddings as a guest in Knockranny previously so I knew the reputation it had and we were not at all disappointed. The food and service were top class... lots of our guests mentioned how lovely the staff were too. Thanks also to Geraldine & Adrian who made us feel so welcome and special - we really felt at home for the whole weekend. I honestly couldn’t recommend Claire and Knockranny highly enough - you gave us the most wonderful memories and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Our decision to have our wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel was an easy one after our first visit to the hotel. The grounds, location and hotel itself are of the highest standard and the staff were brilliant to deal with. In particular Claire, the wedding coordinator, made our lives so much easier as she was always on hand to help us not matter what the request and was extremely professional and friendly to deal with. On the day of the wedding, all the guests really enjoyed the day and were very complimentary of the hotel, the staff and the food was a big hit. I would highly recommend Knockranny House Hotel to anyone thinking of having their wedding reception. They would be in very safe hands with Claire and her team.

There are no words to describe how happy we were with the professionalism, support and kindness we received from Knockranny House Hotel, especially the wedding coordinator, Clare. We had quite a large wedding of 390 guests and every guest was taken care of so well, with fabulous food and 5 star service. The day ran like clockwork and the meal itself was outstanding. Clare was always there with whatever questions we had, nothing was too much. We will be eternally grateful to you Clare for everything and to the staff and management of Knockranny House hotel. We really could not recommend this hotel enough! Maria and Padraic Murphy 1/1/2019

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny House Hotel in October. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. But I guess everyone says that about their own wedding so I will go into some detail for you to make up your own mind. It all started when my fiance and I met with Claire (the unbelievable wedding coordinator) to see the hotel, go through our options and look at available dates. We fell in love with the hotel and the scenery straight away. Once we decided on a date for the wedding Claire was like our wing woman from then on. Nothing is a problem for this lady and she makes everything look so easy. She also gave us great advise throughout the entire planning process. Then there was the tasting night. This was definitely my favourite part when it came to the organising. We went to Knockranny one evening to taste different options for the wedding menu with our family. My mouth waters even thinking about it now. We could have put everything on the menu so picking a few from what we tasted was the difficult part. On the day everything was better than we both imagined. The food in the cocktail bar before the meal was so tasty and the ballroom looked beautiful. People are still commenting on how amazing the food was on the day. That is something I can guarantee you wont have to worry about on the day. The bridal suite...you wont see anything else like it. I don't have words for how amazing it is, just book an appointment to meet with Claire and she will give you a tour. Wow isn't a strong enough word! You cannot go wrong with booking this venue for your wedding. We both look forward to attending weddings here in the future because it is such an amazing place.

To Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny House Hotel, Brian and I can't thank you enough for all you did for us both in the run up to and on our wedding day. Claire is the loveliest, kindest lady to work with. Anything we asked for was never a problem. The team are heart warming and professional in everything they do. Our day ran so smoothly and we have received numerous compliments about the fantastic food and service which everyone got on the day. All of our guests fell in love with Knockranny just as we have done. Thank you so much for everything and for making our day come ttogether exactly as we had imagined. Warmest Regards, Brian and Fiona

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the staff at Knockranny for making our wedding day so special. The two of us and our guests absolutely loved our weekend. Special thanks to yourself who from day one we knew we could trust and put our faith in. No request was too big or too small. For such a massive part of our day planning everything for the hotel was one of the easiest parts of our wedding. We look forward to returning to Knockranny in the future. Anne-Marie & Gerry

Myself and my husband got married the 15th June 2019. We worked with Claire and we cannot recommend her enough. She is so welcoming, professional and she just knows her stuff. She was so so easy to work with and nothing was an issue. I did a lot of extra DIY things myself which the staff laid out as I wished with no problems. There was no moment where I was stressed or worried about anything at all as Claire is very experienced and is always at the other end of the phone/email and always replies very promptly. The knockranny hotel and staff have a consistent track record in all areas for weddings and any event/occasion. The day went perfectly with all the staff working hard and so professionally and made us feel so special on the day going above and beyond for us. No other place like it in my opinion. You cannot go wrong cannot beat this venue and wedding coordinator, Claire. Thank you so so much. I have attached photos that we had taken in Knockranny. You can use them as you wish. Our photographer asked for his name to be with them as he took them. Padraic Fallon Photography.

Where to start.... !! The idea of planning a wedding from Texas was daunting, but from our first email from Claire, we knew Knockranny House was where we wanted to spend our special day! There was nothing too big or small for Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny- much of our communication was over email- but the food, the room (everything down to the lighting, background music, and table decorations), the flow of the day, the second day celebrations- nothing could have been better. Claire responds to every email so quickly and with more than the necessary information and she meets bride and groom (and any of their family members) as many times as they wish before the big day. We had the most special time and we were made to feel like we were the only people in the hotel the whole time we were there. Every last staff member was absolutely superb and so attentive to every guest, and the food was delicious! Thank you to every person at Knockranny House for making our time there so incredible - we cannot thank you enough and can’t wait to go back to relive all the memories!!

Knockranny is a special place, with very special staff. Claire and her team made our wedding day the most special experience of our lives, in fact the whole experience leading up to the wedding was made so easy by Claire that we didn't have to worry about anything. Every last detail we asked for was taken care of with no fuss. Claire's attention to detail and knowledge of every possible scenario really made us so, so relaxed. The venue itself was just absolutely amazing. The common trend we are hearing from all our guests is 'the food was the nicest we have ever had at a wedding" and we agree with our guests....it was incredible! The whole day and night was way beyond what we expected and it was just flawless. One of the things we loved so much about Knockranny is that you are made to feel so special, we were welcomed by the owners themselves and made to feel so welcome. We stayed an extra two nights after our wedding and even though there was another wedding the next day, Claire still made sure every time she saw us to say hello and check that we were OK. We both really couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we can't wait to go back for our anniversary. Thank you so much for giving us the best day of our lives.

When describing weddings, it is often that you hear the words “best day of my life” used over and over. The gravity of that term starts to wear off. Make no mistake about it- Knockranny House truly made this the single BEST day of our lives. My husband Briocán and I are living in Boston but always knew we wanted to get married back where he and his family is from. We assumed wedding planning from 3000 miles away would come with a long list of challenges but thanks to Knockranny’s Wedding Coordinator, the phenomenal Claire Concannon we couldn’t have been more wrong. Claire simply was everything you hope your wedding coordinator would be. While she is organized and works to get everything done, she also has this calming way about her. We couldn’t have been less stressed over our international wedding of over 300 guests- we just knew Claire and her team had it under control. It’s been just about 2 months now since our wedding and we are still getting texts, calls, and shouts from our guests that we run into that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. The best Craic. The best food (seriously- this was one of the things we heard the most. The food was UNBELIEVABLE). The nicest hotel rooms. It’s so nice hearing we chose a place that our guests were treated as well as the bride and the groom themselves were. We couldn’t believe how accommodating the hotel was to our party, not just on the day but the entire weekend we were there. Everyone was just SO kind and made you feel like royalty. We truly can’t say enough great things about this place. My hope is that anyone reading this ends their wedding venue search here and gives Claire a ring and begins planning their big day with her and Knockranny- you will NOT regret it!

Claire was absolutely amazing and did everything to make the day fantastic for us. Everything was run fantastic. Thanks you so much. Only two things which I think was disappointing was reception. They made a number of mistakes with people's checkins. My cousin got charged which I was meant to be paying for as she was bridesmaid and I heard from a number of people that the reception experience was not good. The second thing was not all the drink we brought in was given out. A number of my uncle's were left without drink including Colm at one stage. Then I found out there was so much drink left over. I think it's a bad policy of the hotel not to give all the drink out as they want people to buy the drinks in the hotel. Two small things but overall an amazing hotel, excellent food and a wonderful wedding coordinator. Thanks you so much again
