We have to say, we love a wedding venue steeped in old charm. So, when the lovely team at Glenlo Abbey offered to give us a tour of their gorgeous Galway venue before their vintage wedding fair this Sunday, we couldn’t say no! Prepare to be enchanted by this incredible property…
“We are very fortunate in Glenlo Abbey to be located on a 140 acre lakeside estate with views overlooking Lough Corrib and the surrounding West of Ireland landscape. There is a rich history attached to the house itself and we offer numerous unique venues for intimate wedding ceremonies, banquets in the 18th Century Abbey, drinks receptions in the elegant French Room, wedding receptions in the River Room Restaurant or the newly renovated Corrib Suite with views over looking the estate. We like to say that Glenlo Abbey is where old world charm meets contemporary elegance.”
“Couples really do have endless photo opportunities; from the elegant French Room to the vintage, 1920’s theme with the Pullman Restaurant aboard the Orient Express – 2 of the original carriages from the Orient Express, beautifully restored and set on the estate grounds. We are currently landscaping our new Wedding Garden which I’m sure will also be popular as it again has views overlooking Lough Corrib and the estate grounds. Oh and not to forget the Golf Course… and the lake of course!”
“From the moment you drive through the magnificent cast iron gate, you will be captivated by the beauty of the hotel and the grounds. Our wedding co-ordinator meets each and every couple and takes them through from the initial enquiry stage right through to the big day and beyond. We are here for help and advice throughout the whole planning stage.”
“We are so excited to be hosting the Spectacular Vintage Wedding Fair on 14th September with a host of vintage wedding suppliers. Our Wedding Showcase on 4th January in conjunction with Xposé’s Lisa Cannon will have a range of local wedding suppliers with tips on emerging wedding trends. We really want to show off our recent renovations here in Glenlo Abbey and having these events gives us a chance to showcase the property. Couples are welcome to come along as we can show them around the 18th Century Abbey, the elegant reception rooms, River Room restaurant, Pullman Restaurant aboard the Orient Express, the Corrib Suite and our new Wedding Garden.”
“These events are great to meet with local suppliers and get ideas for your wedding day. Whether it is photographers, cake suppliers, florists etc – you are in a room full of wedding experts who are passionate about what they do – so don’t be afraid to ask questions and take their advice. We invite you to come and be enchanted by the Abbey!”
Thank you Glenlo Abbey Hotel for sharing with us the insider details of the magnificent property. Discover the magic of this stunning Galway venue first hand on Sunday 14th September at the Spectacular Vintage Wedding Fair.
