There aren't enough positive words to describe our wedding experience at Knockranny! From the moment we contacted the hotel about organising a viewing to checking out after our big day - we had the most incredible experience. The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot but it honestly is the only word to describe Knockranny's Wedding Coordinator - Claire. She is an absolute lady through and through and is a pleasure to deal with. From the moment we sat down with her in December 2020 to discuss our wedding, right up until our wedding day in July 2022, she was a joy to be around. From her sheer professionalism, to her incredible organisation, from her immediate replies to emails to her tips and advice, we honestly loved every step of the journey with Claire! On our wedding day she was amazing, working both in front and behind the scenes to ensure that everything kept ticking over on time. Even her eye for detail is amazing - laying out our photographs, sweets table, signs and baskets in the most wonderful way! There is such a warmth from once you walk in the door of Knockranny and this is down to the incredible staff. From the lovely ladies on the front desk, to the bar staff, the cleaning staff to the function room staff - each and every member always had a smile on their face and made all of our guests feel so welcome. From speaking to many of our guests - there has been no question as to their standout part of the day... our wedding meal (or "feast" as it has been named my some family members!) Our wedding meal was simply outstanding!! Each course was of the most sublime quality, impeccable presentation and sheer class. There wasn't one single negative comment about any aspect from the meal and coming from two family of foodies - that is REALLY saying something! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we know that we have Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny to thank for that. We will be forever grateful to you all. Ciara & Colin

We celebrated our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel in June of this year and our experience with Claire and the team was exceptional from start to finish. Our guests could not speak highly enough of the venue, the food and the service that we experienced all day long. The venue offered the perfect location for outdoor pictures and saved us having to travel to another location on the day. The drinks reception space was comfortable and allowed our guests to relax and mingle in a private area prior to sitting down for the meal. Every single course of our dinner was delicious with many availing of the generous offering of seconds (and in some cases thirds!). The service during dinner and until the early hours of the morning was excellent. We only wish we could do it all over again in Knockranny!

Knockranny House Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding this year! Claire was an absolute star from the get go and couldn't have done enough for us! She always responded almost instantly even on weekends (we live in the USA so there was also a time difference) and went so out of her way to help us and cater to our needs! Nothing was a problem! Having her as the wedding coordinator at the venue was amazing and gave us such peace of mind! The venue itself is stunning and all the staff are so unbelievably nice and accommodating! Anyone we dealt with onsite was so professional and helpful! The rooms are stunning and the spa is top class! I have to commend John Durkan the head chef who made sure that the dinner was out of this world! Our guests raved about the food and the dinner service was seamless! I also have to commend the bar tenders! Every cocktail was spot on and everyone had a drink in their hand at all times! I would recommend anyone to have their wedding in Knockranny for the ballroom alone! It is huge and stunning!! Everything is laid out perfectly and they run a seriously tight ship where everyone knows exactly what is going on! I really can't say enough good things about the hotel! They even gave us a complimentary night's stay for our first year anniversary and honestly, we can't wait to go back! Thank you so so much Claire, John and all the staff! You gave us the perfect day!

We are so thrilled that we decided to have our wedding in Knockranny House Hotel. Our wedding planner Claire, is such a professional. Everything went perfectly!! All of our guests were raving about the tasty food and the excellent service that was provided to us on the day. From meeting Claire at the beginning to the day of our wedding, she was absolutely brilliant and we had full confidence in her! Nothing was a problem. She made everything work and it took the worry of us as we knew how efficient she was. All of our guests made it their business to tell us how good each course of their meal was- a lot said it was the best food they ever had! The bedrooms and the sheer class of the hotel was another talking point amongst guests. We got all our photos outside the hotel with the spectacular view of Croagh Patrick in the background. I would not hesitate in recommending Knockranny Hotel. You will be guaranteed the best day of your lives, as I know we had!!

We would highly recommend Knockranny House Hotel and Spa for your wedding reception. From start to finish Claire was so easy to deal with, always had the answer to any questions we had, and provided us with so much useful information in relation to photographers, videographers, bands etc. All the staff were so helpful, and the food was amazing (thanks John!). It was very easy to plan the wedding reception, even with the unknowns surrounding Covid and the numbers which would be allowed to attend. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Teresa and John.

From the moment we walked into our first viewing until the moment we checked out after our incredible wedding we could not have been any happier with Claire and all the team at Knockranny House Hotel. Everything was incredible from start to finish. We could not find one single fault. We could not have asked for a more helpful co-ordinator than Claire. She is exceptional at her job. She had everything under control and we never had to worry about anything in the lead up to the wedding. On the day itself we could not praise Claire and her staff enough. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the rooms, everything was 10/10. Every single guest commented on how great the food was. We are so so happy we made the decision to get married in Knockranny. For any couple out there even slightly considering this as your wedding venue just go for it. I wouldn't even hesitate in recommending to everyone I know.

I cannot recommend Knockranny House Hotel enough as a wedding venue. From the day we booked over 2 years ago up until weeks after our wedding they have been a pleasure to deal with. Claire, the wedding coordinator, is so talented at her job. She was quick to respond to emails and always on hand to answer questions and alleviate any concerns. During the uncertainty of covid, she made us feel so at ease and always resasssured us our day would be fabulous no matter what - and it truly was. The service and Staff on the day were impeccable. The Christmas decor was beautiful. The hotel had a really personal touch. The owner even attended to us at our meal. The wedding meal itself was well received by everyone. It was extremely delicious and tasty. When they offered seconds of everything and anything, people had nowhere to put it. Even the canapés at the reception kept flowing. I honestly can't do the day justice in words. But you won't be disappointed with Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. I am not from the area so I checked in the night before, got ready there for my wedding day and stayed the night after. From start to finish, it was truly magical.

We had our wedding day on 31.12.21 & Claire, Geraldine, Adrian & the whole team at Knockranny made sure the wedding ran so smoothly. We honestly couldn’t fault one single thing. The hotel looked fantastic & the staff were incredible. Our guests were constantly talking about how delicious the food was all weekend. The mashed potatoes were a favourite and I lost count of the number of people that said that to me afterwards! Claire was so easy to deal with from the very start. No request was ever a problem. She made life very easy for us and we will be forever grateful to her. After having to postpone for a full year due to the pandemic, Claire was always at the other end of the phone or email to offer support and guidance. She really is one of the best in the business & we would recommend Knockranny to anyone searching for their wedding venue. If you choose Knockranny you will not be disappointed! We are already looking forward to our next visit back to Knockranny! It will always be very special to us! Eilís & Shane

Knockranny House Hotel & Spa is a stunning venue for a wedding. Everything, down to every last detail, was beautiful. Claire was a brilliant wedding coordinator. She was only a message away if you needed anything and was always quick to respond. She made our day spectacular. We couldn’t fault anything. All of our guests were in awe over the hotel and food and everything else the way it was done. It was the best day ever. We will definitely be returning to knockranny House Hotel & Spa for our anniversary. Kelly & Shane

We recently had our wedding in Knockranny House Hotel & Spa, and we cannot speak highly enough of the hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing, and all of our guests were very impressed with their rooms. Claire, the wedding coordinator, is wonderful to work with and always answer any queries without delay. We had to reschedule our wedding once due to the pandemic, and Claire and all the staff in Knockranny made this process seamless and helped reduce the stress for us. We really cannot say enough good things about Knockranny, and we would highly highly recommend it as a wedding venue to all future wedding couples. If you have your wedding here, you will not be disappointed. They will guarantee that you and your guest will have a fantastic day. We are already looking forward to returning for a few nights stay.

We don't know where to start writing about the beautiful Knockranny House Hotel! From the first day we set foot inside the door we knew it was the place for our wedding. Claire is an amazing lady. She was so helpful and always there for us whenever we had a question in the lead up to our wedding. Even if it was a silly question about something, she always replied promptly and put us at ease. She was just brilliant on the day, by always making sure everything went smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a single thing and we can't thank her enough for that. The food was absolutely delicious and the service on the day was second to none. Not only was the food great but it was piping hot, exactly what you want for your Winter Wedding! The hotel and function room was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. We got some amazing photos there. The function room was lovely and spacious, something that made everyone feel comfortable. All of our guests were so impressed with the bedrooms, so many of them have already booked to stay a night again. They are still talking about the beautiful rooms, great food and excellent service on the day. We can't thank you all enough for making our day so perfect. We will definitely be recommending the Knockranny House Hotel to other couples. Go raibh míle míle maith agaibh! Bríd & Cian xx

The best day! We had our long awaited wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel last month, having postponed by a year due to the pandemic. Covid meant that at times we didn't know whether we were coming or going, particularly as we are based in the UK, so getting back to meet our suppliers before the day was a task in itself. Throughout it all, Claire was nothing but kind, patient and supportive. At the end of every phone call, she took time to answer our questions or make more changes to align with the changing circumstances. The function room on the day was absolutely beautiful. The size of the room meant our guests didn't have to worry about being crammed in/too close to each other, but at the same time the room didn't look sparse. It was beautifully set up by the hotel team and the venue decor company. Having a separate drinks reception room is also brilliant. So many hotels nowadays skimp on this, so guests are left mingling in the lobby with other guests who are checking in. Not at Knockranny House Hotel, the wedding area is self contained but spacious with an outdoor space. The same goes for the bridal suite. It was the biggest of all the venues we viewed, which is important when there are six ladies to get ready. The food was delicious and presented very tastefuly on the plate. Our guests commented on how it far exceeded the usual salmon/beef served at weddings. And there was definitely no shortage, seconds and thirds were offered. Service on the day was also excellent, the staff was very helpful and nobody wanted for anything. Knockranny House Hotel is a really classy venue, and Claire and her team are an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are so glad we picked Knockranny House Hotel for our special day. Special thanks to Claire!

All that Shane and I can say about the amazing Claire and the Knockranny House Hotel staff is that they were out of this world in what they did for us on our special day. They went over and above for us, our family and all our guests. Claire you are one amazing lady and outstanding in what you did for us. We would love to do it all over again. There is no question that we would 100% advise couples to have their amazing wedding day with Knockranny House Hotel. Our families and guests are still talking about the hotel, food and amazing staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Shane and Trish broderick newlyweds. X

Knockranny was amazing from start to finish. They set the tone from the moment you walk in the door. Its calm, peaceful and classy. Each staff member is fully aware of their role, and they carry it out with ease, and always making you feel special. Our wedding was postponed 3 times because of Covid, but the support we received from our wedding Coordinator, Claire, was second to none. She is wonderful at her job and every hotel should have a ‘Claire’ in their lives. The service was impeccable and the food fantastic which all guests commented on after. The ambiance created with the decor was lovely, and nothing was a problem. We would highly recommend Knockranny for a wedding. We even wish we could do it all over again! Thanks to all the staff and team in Knockrannt. It will always be a day we will remember and never forget.

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!

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
