We cannot recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel highly enough. We had the most incredible and special day of our lives, and all of the staff could not have been more helpful. Every single staff member had a beaming smile on their face all day and would do anything to help anyone. No request we had was ever too much, and we were made to feel like royalty. The Shamrock Lodge is a family-run business, and it excels in providing a personal touch to your wedding day. Every single one of our guests complimented the food, the service and the accommodation. Booking our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel was the best decision we ever made!

From our first meeting with Doireann up until our last, our experience with the Shamrock Lodge was phenomenal. She, as well as all the other staff, looked after us so well in the lead-up to the wedding and especially on the day. We couldn't have been happier; it was a perfect day, and they went above and beyond. I'd highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge to everyone.

The greatest thanks to all the staff at Shamrock Lodge Hotel, who made our special day run so smoothly. We both felt very welcomed from our first contact with the team. From there, we were invited for a delicious tasting meal so we could customise our wedding menu. I thoroughly enjoyed that evening and was delighted to meet other couples too. The quick meet up before the big day was great; the hotel wedding coordinator took any stresses we had away... We left all the centrepieces, food & drinks, candy cart/wishing well set-ups, etc. to them. Mary and the team really did look after everything for us! We were so relieved. On the day itself, our arrival was so special, as we were greeted with a red carpet & champagne by Alan & Paddy. We both felt like royalty on our day, and we feel like family ever since. This hotel is so hands-on and detail-oriented. Their staff were all so attentive and friendly. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel is so used to weddings that its experience shines through. They know exactly what is needed and surpassed our already high expectations on the day. We are both so grateful for all they do for us each and every visit. Our guests are still complimenting the food they got on the day; "food arrived hot", "plenty of seconds", "Delicious black pudding & chorizo starters". We're thrilled to hear all the compliments to date. Highly recommend this venue for a wedding, they can handle large numbers. Comfortable, clean & spacious rooms. Genuinely lovely team of staff. Great value. Lots of parking. Irish-owned family-run business. 5 STAR. Mr & Mrs Kenny, April 2025 x

A hidden gem in Athlone. Such a fantastic hotel, from the friendliest team, to the unreal food, and probably some of the best Guinness around. It is a family-run hotel and you are treated like family too; they want to make your day as special as they can. Thank you for being part of our special day. I would highly recommend to any newly engaged couples looking for an amazing wedding venue.

Absolutely amazing day we all had celebrating our wedding day with our family and friends in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We can't thank the staff enough for the incredible service, food and professionalism with everything. The Shamrock Lodge made our wedding day preparations and day so easy ,relaxing and special. We felt so confident that the day would be fantastic and that it was due to the hard work from all at the Shamrock Lodge who made this possible. We can't thank Paddy , Alan and all the staff at the Shamrock Lodge enough. Special thanks to Mary who answered all out questions and helped us out with all we needed.

Where do we even start. From the get-go go The Shamrock Lodge were amazing. From start to finish, they were always there on the other end of the phone/email for any query, big or small. Doireann, Mary, Warren & Alan plus Paddy and team, were fantastic. Couldn't do enough for us. The set up was fab (Loved our sign btw), food was amazing (loved the black pudding starter) and the overall treatment was 5 star. Everyone complimented the hotel and said it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. The grounds were even perfect for photos, we didn't have to travel anywhere which was fantastic. The Lodge lends itself with its beautiful grounds. If anyone is looking for a Wedding venue where the experience is 5 star & the team will look after you so well I highly recommend The Shamrock Lodge. Thanks Guys for making our wedding day so special and memorable.

We would highly recommend Shamrock Lodge to any couple looking for a wedding venue. From the minute we sat down and had our first chat with Alan, we knew we would have nothing to worry about, Alan couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was too big an ask! Mary, Doireann and Debbie were always the other the other side of the phone during the planning and the day itself ran so smoothly. Family and friends commented on the warm welcome, the great food and overall professionalism on the day. Thank you so much to Paddy, Alan and all the team at the Shamrock Lodge for making our day so special!

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel in Athlone. It was the best day of our lives. From the minute we arrived the night before until the day we left, the staff were amazing, they couldn’t do enough for us. Doireann was a dream. She literally did everything for us and we would have been lost without her. Everyone is still talking about the hotel and what a great day they all had there. The photos/videos outside in the garden were beautiful. There isn’t one thing we would want to change about the day. Thank you to all at the Shamrock Lodge.

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
