We got married at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel Athlone on the 26th of October 2023 and from the moment we started the process with the team it was a dream come true. We were lucky enough to work with Alan, Mary and Rebecca in organizing our special day. We wanted a slightly less traditional wedding, and very much leaned into the Halloween theme and not for one second was it questioned or was an alternative suggested they were all for it. Rebecca couldn't have done enough for us. My wife's family wanted to see the venue a few times throughout the process and each time they were welcomed. Our menu tasting was great and there was no issue bringing along our maid of honour and her partner for some second opinions. On the day of our wedding, if it could have gone wrong, it went wrong. A missing groomsman, major traffic and road works, a replacement celebrant who we'd never met... the list goes on but Rebecca and the team kept it all running smoothly and took away any of our worries. Our guests couldn't have complimented the staff, the atmosphere or the food enough. We even had some guests change their starters when they saw how good everything looked! We had a great day and it was all made so special by the hard work and staff of the Shamrock Lodge! To Paddy, Alan, Mary & Rebecca thank you so much for making our day so special and to all the staff who kept the drinks flowing too, our guests couldn't stop talking about how friendly everyone was. We would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone looking for a family feel for your special day.

From the moment we got engaged we knew that we wanted to have our wedding at Shamrock Lodge. We were thrilled to discover that November 2nd was available. The planning started and the team at The Lodge were so helpful providing a list of suggested vendors to help us get started. All through the process Paddy, Alan, Warren, Raj, Mary, Doireann and the entire team were amazing. On the day itself once again the entire team worked hard to make sure our day was special. The team had set the room up beautifully and prepared the seating plan with the colour scheme in mind. The meal was delicious, piping hot and was much complimented by our guests. Alan, Raj and the team serving were friendly, efficient and very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Guests with special dietary requirements were catered for without fuss and were reassured that all sauces, gravy and soups were gluten-free. As a couple, we were encouraged by Raj to take a few minutes alone after the meal and this was much appreciated. Our day was very special and ran very smoothly The team at The Lodge are second to none, the couple and their guests come first and it shows. All of our guests were impressed with the warm friendly atmosphere in the hotel. The smiles on all the staff faces are genuine and contribute positively to a wonderful welcoming and friendly environment We are beyond thrilled with our day and so very thankful to Paddy, Alan, Warren, Raj and their entire team. We would have no hesitation in recommending this great team to anyone considering the Shamrock Lodge as their wedding venue Arlene and John

There are no words to describe our wedding day, I have been in tears ever since! The emotions are high Doireann and the team gave us the best day of our lives. I really haven’t got the right words for you right now because I’m just overwhelmed with happiness, there isn’t one thing that we would change about how our day went. Doireanns help was above and beyond what we ever expected. Doireann, raj, Alan, and warren and all the staff just knocked us off our feet with support and love. I will forever remember all that they did for us. Doireann, You are the best at your job and I hope you know that and know how appreciated you are

The Shamrock Lodge was excellent in the lead-up to and on the day of our wedding. We met with Raj, Doireann, and the team a few times during the planning process, and they had everything covered. They were brilliant at breaking down the day and ensuring that everything went exactly the way we wanted. We had a humanist ceremony and reception, and with the team's help, everything went seamlessly and smoothly. The team was punctual throughout the day and always available for any minor checks. They truly helped make our day about the celebration and allowed everything to run as planned. We would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge—perfectly located, with a feeling of having the hotel all to yourselves. This hotel deserves all the praise, as they are excellent at weddings.

Having been a guest at countless weddings at the Shamrock Lodge I recently got married there myself and couldn’t rate the staff and facilities enough. It has always been the best place in Athlone for service and care to the wedding couple and guests alike. Food has always been amazing and they went out of their way to cater to guests with allergies and children who are fussy eaters. We can’t praise them enough. We also had cocktails as an added extra and they had gone above and beyond with how they displayed the tables. Can’t rate them highly enough.

We want to thank all the team at the Shamrock Lodge for making our big day so special, we couldn't have asked for more. If we could do it all again we would. From the first day of viewing the lodge up to our wedding day the service and communication were impeccable. Our guests were so impressed with the venue for the wedding ceremony, and the quick turnaround of the room. The service and food was amazing. We would really do recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone after a wedding venue that really looks after their couple and guests ❤️

We had our civil ceremony & reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel a few months ago, and it was amazing. Everybody, from the wedding coordinator to the hotel staff, was brilliant the whole day. They were nothing but helpful, checking in with us regularly to make sure all was running smoothly. We could not fault them! We would highly recommend them for not just weddings, but any occasion!

We had our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We both have to say that our day was perfect from start to finish. We give credit to the Shamrock staff and owners for their care, attention to detail and the feeling of comfort and peaceful surroundings. The decor and atmosphere and above all the food were more than perfect. We were very cared for in every way possible. We would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to all who are getting married to visit the Shamrock and chat with staff to organise your big day. Kind regards and best wishes keep up the great work. Love from Anne Maria and Finbarr Fallon

Thank you so so much again for everything you did for us on our wedding day. It was just the best day ever and a huge part of that was because of Doireann and the Shamrock Lodge Team. They looked after us all so well but especially Doireann, it was just such a pleasure to deal with you and we knew our day was in safe hands.

We recently celebrated our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on July 18th 2024. What can I say? The hotel management and staff were just amazing to deal with from start to finish. They have a fantastic Wedding event coordinator named Doireann. Doireann was very supportive and was always just an email away for any ideas or options we wanted to discuss, nothing was too big or too small and we felt valued throughout the whole process. Everything was exceptional on our wedding day, the food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and friendly and everything was exactly as I had described and envisioned! We received endless amounts of positive feedback from our guests about the exceptional food and customer service they experienced on our Wedding day. We cannot thank the Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough, for making our Wedding day so memorable and special for us. We will cherish those memories forever and always. Gemma & Wayne Flanagan x

We had our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and it was by far the best decision we made. The service here was amazing and we were so happy with everything on our special day. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have the best day ever! You really could not fault this hotel. The food is fabulous. Our wedding coordinator Doireann was the best help ever and nothing was an issue. Everything we needed was no problem at all. Doireann really was so helpful and patient with me. Thanks again guys. Ye are the best.

The Shamrock Lodge Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding day. We had both our ceremony and our reception there. Our ceremony was held outside in the lovely garden area that was decorated so beautifully and the ceremony was by Rev. Geraldine Bown. We had a drinks and canape reception afterwards which catered for all tastes and diets, there was a great variety on offer. The decor for our reception was again done so well. All of our requests were met and nothing was too much to ask. We felt so well looked after and equally importantly our guests were well catered for. The food was top class and both the beef and the lemon sole were popular with all. Although we had a big wedding, it felt like an intimate day. Heartfelt thanks to Paddy, Warren, Alan, Doireann and all the staff for their professionalism throughout.

From our visit to see the venue to the wedding day itself, it was a very enjoyable and hassle-free experience. Despite the unpredictable Irish weather, we wished for an outdoor ceremony at the venue - The Shamrock Lodge came up trumps. The garden was laid out beautifully for us, and there was a backup plan in case the sun did not shine. After our ceremony, the drinks and canopies reception was laid out beautifully and catered for all dietary requests. It was really important to both of us to have our wedding day at a venue that is well renowned for its great wedding dinners. The Shamrock Lodge did not disappoint; our guests really enjoyed the starters, soup (a big hit), lemon sole and beef dessert and, of course, the great wine that accompanied the food. The management and staff did a fantastic job with both the outdoor and indoor decor and thought of everything. The service was second to none. Paddy, Warren, Alan and Doireann were constantly available and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The fact that we were able to have our ceremony and reception at The Shamrock Lodge meant that it was seamless for guests to get from one to the other. Many of our guests stayed the night, and all highly rated the rooms, service and breakfast. The personal touch of a family-run business cannot be beaten.

The Shamrock Lodge was the only hotel where we could celebrate our wedding. Being a family-run hotel makes it even more special. Paddy, Alan, Warren, Doireann and all the amazing staff couldn't do enough for us in preparation for our wedding day and on the day itself. No ask was too big or too small. The food was outstanding, and everyone complimented it. The hotel is beautiful, we got fabulous photos on the grounds, and the ballroom was set up perfectly for the number of guests we had. We highly recommend The Shamrock Lodge for a wedding and look forward to other events there.

I want to thank you for making our wedding day so so special. It wasnt just the day that was special, it was at every transaction with every staff member, every phone call and every email before and after that we had with your hotel. I can honestly say that your customer experience, personal touch, genuine care for your customers and the love you all have for a family run hotel is what makes you stand out by a country mile! Even when I think of the Shamrock Lodge now I get a lovely warm feeling. We absolutely loved everything about our time with you for our wedding day. Your dedication, passion and attention to detail eliminated all the stress of planning a wedding with 2 small children and this was a MASSIVE point for us. We felt really at home with the care and hospitality you gave us, our families and guests. You took such good care of us. The food was absolutely beautiful, and everyone commented on it. You really looked after our 2 very sensitive coeliacs, one of whom was my mother-in-law, so that was excellent!

In our thank-you speech on the day, we spoke of how coming to the Lodge was like coming home to family. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel and the staff, Mary, Alan, Doireann, Lorna, Raj, and everyone else made our day perfect. The attention to detail, care, and consideration everyone gave was amazing. They gave us the much-needed reassurance and calmness when we were most anxious about wedding preparations. The day was flawless, perfect and memorable. The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the management on the ball with every one of our wishes, big or small, catered for. Thanks for the amazing day. Felipe & Jason

The team at Shamrock Lodge Hotel went above and beyond to make our day special. From the planning of the wedding right through to the day itself, we received the very best service. Our guests on the day had an amazing time, the food, the service, and the atmosphere were all commented on as being brilliant, and that’s down to the great service and warm family welcome at Shamrock Lodge Hotel!

I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue. They couldn't have done enough for us on our special day and ensured everything went smoothly and perfectly. From start to finish, everyone we dealt with throughout the whole process was an absolute pleasure to deal with including Alan, Rebecca, Raj, and the rest of the Shamrock Lodge team. We were able to have our day the way we wanted and nothing was too much trouble for them. I feel the level of service from all the staff, the high standard of the hotel, and the quality of the food are unbeatable. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the hotel, the feed, and the craic were. Thanks again to the Shamrock Lodge Hotel team for making our special day better than we could have imagined! Sinéad & Ian Lynch

From the very start, the shamrock lodge was a fantastic experience. They were brilliant in helping us with every little detail of our day. Our wedding coordinator was fabulous. We had a combined wedding Irish Italian and they were so happy to accommodate everything we requested. The wedding room was very elegant. Down to the little details everything was perfect. The hall where we had our meal was decorated exactly how we wanted and was all we could have wished for. The food was amazing as always and service was 100 percent. We partied the night away!

We cannot thank The Shamrock Lodge enough for all their efforts on the day of our wedding and in the lead up to it, also. We had the most amazing day and couldn’t be happier we decided to have our reception here. From the moment we met with Warren, we knew we were in good hands. The food, the staff, the service and the venue were beyond exceptional. Everybody at our wedding was incredibly well looked after and made to feel so welcome. We couldn’t have asked for more. The day exceeded all our expectations and we are so grateful for such wonderful memories. Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary and Raj you were all a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Of all the things to worry about on the lead up to the wedding and the day of, you all made sure the venue wasn’t one of them. We cannot recommend you enough!

Myself and my husband got married in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on 30-12-2023. There aren’t enough words to describe just how amazing our day was, and that’s all down to the staff in this fabulous hotel. We planned our wedding from overseas which made things a lot trickier for us, but Mary and Rebecca (the wedding coordinators) were so accommodating and organised a Zoom call with us when we were trying to decide on a hotel. As soon as we had the call, we knew this would be the hotel we would be booking. Being a family-run business, it really stood out from the rest and we had no doubt in our minds that we were in great hands. In the lead-up to the wedding, everyone was just so helpful towards us. We met with Alan the GM and he was just incredible. He had the warmest welcome to us, listened to exactly what we wanted but also offered us his professional advice on things we weren’t sure about. We left that day knowing our wedding day was going to be perfect. On the day itself, we were absolutely blown away by the hospitality and attention to detail. Paddy, Alan, Raj and Warren could not do enough for us. Not only us but also our wedding guests, getting to know most of our immediate and extended family by name and making sure everyone was okay constantly throughout the day. We had so many people comment on this as things like this don’t go unnoticed. They really made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable. Onto the main event - the meal. The food was just amazing!! When we did the menu tasting before the wedding, we knew that everybody on the day would love it. We had so many compliments about the meal. The service was so quick, there were no delays and the staff even went around with a second round of mains to all the tables. We feel so incredibly lucky and grateful that we were able to have our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We will never forget how special all the staff made us feel. So thank you so much to all the management and staff! Oonagh and Matt

Where do I begin....the most amazing wedding venue. Family-run hotel and they 100% look after everyone. We had the best day and everything about the lodge was perfect. The service was amazing, the food, the venue and the staff. Alan was a pleasure to deal with on the day and he couldn't do enough to make sure Mark and I were looked after and all of our guests. Our 2 young boys 4 and 2 were minded and to us, that was just one of the many special touches. Best wedding venue!

Shamrock Lodge went above and beyond what we expected of them on our special day. From the moment we made first contact right up to our day and even after, every single member of staff treated us with kindness and professionalism. Our wedding day was so relaxed and we were both at ease the entire time. Thank you to everyone for helping us make our day so magical!
