We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 31st of July, 2021. To say we had the best day ever is the understatement of the year. It was more than either of us could have ever dreamed of. The hotel and wedding coordinating team were so accommodating and made sure that we were always happy with everything leading up to the wedding. From the moment we met with the coordinator when we were viewing the hotel, we knew that we had found the perfect place. The welcoming atmosphere and the bubbly personalities that we met walking through the door just captured our attention and instantly put smiles on our faces. You can really tell that it is a family run hotel, as all the staff really come together and present as a strong, caring family unit. Warren and Mary worked tremendously hard behind the scenes and on the weekend of our wedding. There was no question too big or too small. There is usually a lot of stress around wedding planning, but Mary took all that stress away and replaced it with fun and laughter. You feel very much at ease planning your wedding with the coordinators. There was fantastic attention to detail from service, to food, to décor and function room layout. The hotel team was always so attentive and ‘on the ball’. The food was exquisite and is something so many of our guests raved about after the wedding. The private garden beside the function room is the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. There was a lovely flow to the day from drinks, to the reception, to photos and meal, to first dance. Everything ran perfectly smoothly and that is due to the exceptional organization and work carried out by the Shamrock Lodge team. The team at Shamrock Lodge couldn't possibly do any more for us. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the most magical day for us. They welcomed any ideas that we had in mind and were incredibly accommodating. If we were to do it all again, we definitely would pick the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Thanks so much for everything!!

We celebrated our wedding reception in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on July 24th 2021. From our, first meeting with Alan, he was so kind and helpful as he listened to all of our suggestions and requirements. We felt assured that with his experience and attention to detail we would have a wonderful day. Everyone in the hotel from Nicola on reception to Warren and Paddy, all worked quietly in the background to ensure we had a perfect day. We were planning our wedding while restrictions were gradually being eased, so this resulted in some uncertainty and challenges with our planning. However this never caused us concern because Alan constantly worked with us, to ensure we had the wedding day we always wanted. Alan also made some very helpful suggestions, regarding slight amendments we could make, in order to ensure we got the most out of our day. We are so glad we listened to his advice as those small changes really enhanced our day. From speaking with our guests, they all mentioned how great the food was. All our tables were served quickly and well timed together. The food was beautifully cooked and it was noted by several of our guests that it was hot and fresh when it arrived to the table. We had very high expectations on what we wanted from our wedding reception and we can honestly say that the Shamrock Lodge hotel surpassed them. We also liked the fact that they really valued our business, we understand they have several weddings every month, but they truly made us feel as if our wedding was their priority. They are experts in the area of wedding receptions and they have not become complacent despite all the success they have in this area. Finally when our wedding was over and we returned to the hotel a few weeks later to dine in their restaurant, Nicola, Alan, Paddy and Warren all took the time to stop and speak with us and gave us a lovely welcome and high level of service. This is a testament to the fact they truly value their customers. Miriam & Sean

We cannot say enough about this family run hotel. Both Paddy & Alan and the entire staff could not do enough for us on our wedding day. The atmosphere was so relaxed and chilled, making us very at ease. The food was absolutely superb. Our guests are still talking about the great food and the wonderful day they had. We would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding or any event that you may have coming up. A huge thank you again to paddy & Alannd, the staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We had a fantastic day.

We couldn’t recommend these guys enough. We have celebrated so many occasions in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and have never been disappointed. After a number of times rescheduling, we finally had our wedding and everyone was so helpful. They went above and beyond for us. Paddy, Alan, and Warren were on hand during the weeks leading up to our wedding and for the entire day, always checking in with us in case we needed anything. The rooms were decorated so beautifully and they even went out of their way to source specific décor for the ceremony room that we had liked. The food and service was amazing, as always. They made such as massive effort to make sure we had the best day... and we did! Thank you so much!

When we set out on our journey of planning our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, we never dreamt that a pandemic would hit and have us rearranging everything. Our wedding was held on 20th November 2020 where only 25 guests could attend. During the planning everyone at the Shamrock Lodge went above and beyond to help us with any queries or questions we had. The support we received throughout the whole year was exceptional. From changing our original wedding date, to reducing our guest numbers to safety measures, the list was endless. Nothing was too big or too small of an ask. When we arrived for our big day, everything was beyond perfect. Alan and the team are outstanding at what they do. The drinks reception, the food and the room layout and decoration was beyond what we could have imagined under covid restrictions. We were so happy we went ahead with our wedding and could not recommend the Shamrock Lodge enough. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank Alan and his team for making our wedding perfect. Thank you to you and your staff for making us and our guests feel welcome, safe and of course having a bit of normality for a day.

When we had to cancel our wedding in June, we rescheduled to 5th December 2020, I was a bit wary of a Christmas wedding. It wasn't a wedding I had imagined but Alan McCaul reassured me all along and said "don't be worried, it will be perfect" and boy was he right!!! The Shamrock Lodge was amazing. Not only was our weather fabulous but our venue was amazing! Everything was top class, the food, the décor, everything was amazing. If you have any doubts about a small wedding, put your trust in Alan McCaul and it will be perfect.

We had our wedding in the shamrock lodge Hotel on the 10th December 2020. We first met with Alan just weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately, due to covid we needed to change our wedding venue last minute, merely weeks before our date. We did not want to change our date as we had been waiting over 2 years to get married. Alan was absolutely brilliant, an amazing person to deal with-it felt as if we had been planning our wedding for the last 2 years with him. There was nothing Alan couldn't do for us, he went above and beyond. The hotel adhered to all covid regulations on the day-Alan and team made us feel so special on our day, even with covid we enjoyed every single minute. The staff at the shamrock are fantastic! Everyone was so helpful, couldn't do enough for all of us. Again nothing was a problem for the staff-they were just brilliant. The food was divine! Everyone was delighted with the food- the portions were so generous! The rooms were super clean; The smell in the rooms is beautiful. We really felt so special on our wedding day, but we also felt special when we just went for dinner there. I CANNOT WAIT FOR RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS TO BE OPENED AGAIN TO EAT HERE. This is a hotel that everyone should go to eat and stay as the staff go above and beyond. One thing that will always stick in my mind is the lovely lady Mary who sewed a piece of my sisters dress that ripped! that is an example of above and beyond! WE CANNOT EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO ALAN AND TEAM FOR EVERYTHING- WE CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ENOUGH FOR A WEDDING, A STAY, A DINNER, A LUNCH-ANY REASON FOR A VISIT-YOU WONT REGRET IT.

We cannot recommend the shamrock lodge hotel enough both Paddy and Alan went over and beyond for us. Their attentiveness and service is second to none. We were one of those couples who had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19, and we thought in the week leading up to the 9th of October we were going to have to go through it all again but thankfully this wasn’t the case. We got our special day and it was perfect and with all thanks to Paddy, Alan and all the staff in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make everything perfect, from our arrival reception of bagpipes walking inside to a beautifully decorated lobby with lovely snacks, champagne, beer and friendly welcoming Staff. The meal was delicious there was no skimping on portions with staff coming around with seconds all our guests are still talking about how fabulous the food was and how great the whole day was. There was a great menu selection and also if something you didn't see on menu, Paddy would happily see if he could get it for you. The grounds outside for photos are just perfect the gardens are kept immaculate we didn't need to go anywhere else for our wedding photos. The bridal suite which was newly renovated was perfect and a little added touch of champagne went down a treat. Overall myself and James are so happy we had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel we couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to any couple looking for their Dream wedding. We had nothing to worry about only turn up on the day. Thanks for making our day so perfect and so special. Tracy & James

We had been to previous weddings at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and another hotel was never an option. From the moment we sat down with Alan to the day after our wedding, Warren, Alan, Paddy and all the staff were with us all the way. No request was to big or small. The decor, the food, the staff - everything was amazing. We and all our guests were looked after so well. If you are thinking of booking this hotel for your big day you will not have any regrets. They can't do enough for you and I will always recommend this hotel for any event, not just weddings.

We had our wedding planned for April 2020 but with everything going on with COVID it was postponed. Paddy, Alan and Warren did everything to help us change the date and couldn't have been more generous with their time and help. Nothing was too much trouble and all questions were answered. It was very stressful worrying about it, but they were so reassuring. We went from 100-ish guests to 22 guests and we were given 5 star treatment from start to finish. All our guests needs were met with a smile. The room where we had the ceremony and meal was just so beautifully decorated. It was light and airy and so elegant. With all the restrictions we didn't have music after the meal and we were finished at 11.30. But, wow, it was just the most perfect day from start to finish. Everyone of my guests have complimented me and the Shamrock Lodge for a wonderful day... and it was. I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was everything I had hoped for and more. And as for the staff they were brilliant. Great team. Looked after us so well. So, Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary, Elaine and all the wonderful staff, thank you for making our wedding day the most perfect wonderful magical day ever.

Myself and Eddie would like to thank The Shamrock Lodge again for all of your help. From the day we enquired about booking our wedding, until the moment it was time for bed on our day, nothing was ever too much for ask for, and questions were always answered. We held our civil wedding at the Shamrock Lodge in September 2020, and everyone had the most amazing time! It's an intimate space which definitely becomes home for the time that you are there Alan & all the staff were brilliant, so lovely to work with, really accommodating and helpful. At the time restrictions were rift throughout Ireland and Alan was a calming influence in a chaotic time. We were in touch with Alan throughout our planning process and he was amazing - so down to earth and approachable, made things easy through his knowledge, experience and fantastic personality. He kept us from losing the plot, at the same time giving us great options and ideas The venue itself was set beautifully and everything we had asked for was catered to, we even had a Piper playing us down the aisle. The grounds of the venue are scenic and perfect for your photos. The food - oh, the food! The food was five stars, it was tasty, hot and plentiful, all our guests raved about it afterwards. The service was prompt and attentive & friendly All the staff – from reception, wait, housekeeping and bar staff were amazing and genuine in making this a day to remember even in midst of a pandemic! Without the wonderful staff our day wouldn’t be possible – So thank you! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better venue.

Having had such a fantastic wedding day in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel we thought it would be a nice idea to share our experience for other couples to read. It also gives us another chance to thank everyone at this hotel for making ours such a great day. We decided to have our wedding at this hotel having attended a few weddings here as guests and thoroughly enjoying every one of them. Planning a wedding can be a daunting prospect but we have to say our whole experience in dealing with the management and staff was a pleasure. Nothing was a problem for them to organize. Their help and assistance in ensuring all of our requirements were met were second to none. Also their attention to detail was fantastic. The whole process from the start - an evening chat with Paddy, to the meetings we had with Mary, who was exceptional in her assistance with the whole planning process, to Alan and the team who looked after us and our guests on the big day - to the finish was flawless. The management and staff could not have done any more to make our wedding day such a memorable and enjoyable experience. The incredible work that the staff had done in each of the rooms we used during our day was a credit to their dedication on making sure that our day was very special not only for us but also for them. From the room in which our marriage ceremony took place, to the reception room and on to the dining room, we appreciated how much they cared as the decor in each room was done beautifully. It is quite simply a fantastic venue and our day could not have gone any better. We would like to thank you all once again and wish you all well during these difficult times of COVID. We hope that you can soon return to what you do best, creating magical enjoyable wedding experiences for many more couples. Glen & Deirdre Montgomery

Had our wedding here this year on the 14th Feb 2020. It was absolutely amazing... Mary, Alan, Paddy, Warren and every single staff member was just brilliant to deal with... Every meeting we had with Mary - she was just amazing. She went through every single detail and so did Warren, Alan and Paddy. I even broke their poor hearts over changing the table plan few times - we had 256 people sitting for dinner. And Warren was great organising that for us. The food was excellent, piping hot when it came out. They were always on the other end of the phone if anything needed to be asked. We had a civil ceremony in the hotel and that too was organised very well. They all make you feel like as if you were family. It is such a nice homely and welcoming hotel. All my guests were saying after the wedding that it was so relaxing and personal for a wedding. When I arrived to the hotel, I was very nervous. Warren and Alan were at the door waiting for me to arrive. I needed to use the bathroom and had to take off my train on the back of my dress. Alan and Warren were such gents that when I came out of bathroom with my bridesmaid the two lads put on my train and had us all in knots laughing - they were just amazing at the way they cooled my nerves. My Photographer even got a picture and it actually is lovely to have. Also on the day Mary Glynn who just went beyond her way to make sure everything was perfect. It was her day off and she even came in to see us on the day. We are so so happy we had our wedding here as we both are from Ballinasloe. It was just perfect - 10 out of 10. It was the best day of again. Tara and Jason Campbell...Mr and Mrs xxx

We had our wedding at The Shamrock Lodge Hotel on 1/2/2020. A simply amazing day from start to finish . Brilliant service, food and venue. The staff were superb. From the organisation with Alan and Paddy, to the wonderful staff who looked after us all day, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone loved it. We literally had the best day of our lives and that was down to a brilliant, professional service that The Shamrock Lodge provides, even the smallest request was no trouble. Thank you so much.

Thanks to Mary, Alan, Warren and Paddy for all you have done to make sure our day went smoothly, it was just brilliant from start to finish and everyone complimented the food and hotel. Such a great hotel! Just wow was my view from the day. The staff were also amazing and from start to finish. Thanks ever so much, Regards Kat and Michael xx

On behalf of Orla and Maurice, We would like to thank all the staff that were involved in arranging, organising and helping out with getting the venue of the Shamrock Lodge ready for our wedding day and catering to all our guests last June 14th 2019. From the start to the end, everyone was very helpful and professional. The staff went far beyond our expectations and really couldn't have helped us anymore than they did. Mary the wedding co-ordinator was excellent at taking any of our requests for the day and planned everything meticulously. Alan also did an amazing job on the day by managing everything and making sure everything ran seemlessly. We also want to thank Paddy for having an amazing venue and all was very presentable and the gardens were kept very well and tidy. The Honeymoon suite was fabulous too with its very comfy bed and spotless room, the balcony was great too as we were able to watch the sunrise in the morning as our first as Mr and Mrs. The catering staff were great as there was no delay in getting any of the food out to everyone all at the same time. They were very helpful and courteous and always made sure that any requests were seen to. The chef couldn't have done any better as the food was very tasty and well presented too so top marks to the chef and kitchen crew. We can see how the Shamrock Lodge has won so many awards in the past as the whole experience was perfect with a very well managed team of staff to help out and deal with everything. Thank you all for having us and our wedding at your venue and we hope you have many more years of success in the future. Yours sincerely, Orla and Maurice.

From our very first meeting with Alan we knew we were in good hands. Although we were only a small wedding party all our requests were met. I stayed the night before the wedding in the princess Grace suite which was lovely, complementary bottle of bubbly to calm the nerves. Everything went smoothly and out guests were well looked after by shamrock staff. Our guests loved the food, so in all a great day, no stress as everything was perfect. Thank you to all shamrock Lodge staff

I can't say enough about the shamrock lodge Hotel. Myself and my husband niall were married here on 10/08/19. We had both our reception and ceremony here and it was magical from beginning to start. Anything I asked of Mary, Alan, Warren or any of the staff was answered. They really do go above and beyond. From a checklist at the beginning, meetings in between to finalise all the minute details, to a list of vendors nearby, which I thought a lovely touch. As a family run venue it is really lovely to know they support local business. If I could use one word to sum up dealing with the lodge it would be personal. You really aren't just another wedding, you and all your guests really are vips. 100% recommend the shamrock lodge Hotel for your big day!

The shamrock Lodge Hotel is just amazing we had our wedding here in May 2019 and everything was just perfect. To the staff, Alan and paddy we were made feel at home. Everything is so relaxing they really looked after us and made sure our perfect day went smoothly. Thank you so much to the Shamrock Lodge highly recommended and everything was much appreciated.

Wow where to start, We had a Civil Ceremony at The Lodge and was better than we ever could of expected.Its an Amazing family run Hotel with staff who look after you and treat you as part of the family. Every little detail was covered in planning and organising our wedding. The food was amazing, they catered for fussy people(me), plenty of Vegetarian options and a later in the night a great selection of finger food and plenty of bar staff to keep all the guests happy. The Honeynoon suite is lovely and the balcony over looking the lodge is a nice touch, as is the garden for all the fancy photos. We knew we made the right decision when we booked The Shamrock Lodge and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a wedding venue. You won’t be disappointed.

We had our civil ceremony here.From our very first meeting with Warren,we could see that every thing was going to be perfect.Every detail of the day was discussed and personalized to our preferences.The level of attention we received from Warren,Paddy and Alan was fantastic and we literally had nothing to worry about.They were very generous with the food and drinks reception both before and after our ceremony and the main meal itself was top class with not a single issue amongst any of our guests.Overall,a great venue offering that personal touch on your special day.

Where do I even begin. On Saturday the 27th of April we had our Wedding in the Shamrock Lodge. From start to finish the day was just out of this world! Only for the help of Alan, Paddy, Mary & all the staff in the Hotel our day wouldn't of been half the amazing day that it was. They went above and beyond from the day we went in to book our wedding nothing was ever a problem, the service was amazing, the staff were so helpful the place, one word WOW!
