Average Rating: 5 out of 5 - based on 570 reviews

When we got married this year, we dealt with Emma and she is honestly the most amazing person so down to earth and attentive. There was nothing that she couldn’t accommodate us with! I think she did more planning than we did and she kept us on track checking in constantly! She is just hands-down …

one of the nicest people and truly wants you to have the best day.
All the staff on the day were just amazing, they are just the most welcoming and friendly people. You feel at home from the minute you arrive. Our guests spoke so highly of the staff and the hotel and just all agreed it was truly magical. John went out of his way to speak to each table to check in on our guests, which was so lovely. The attention to detail was nothing short of amazing the place looked exactly how I wished it would.
If you are considering having your wedding at Clanard Court I can honestly say it will be the best decision you make. We can’t thank them enough for helping us to have the wedding day of our dreams. They have an amazing team each and every one of them!

We were married at the Clanard Court in August of this year and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the first visit, Emma made planning and organising so easy with her support and communication.

We fell in love with the chapel and our guests were equally impressed by the stunning …

setting it gave us for our ceremony. John and the staff were so good when it came to food and drink for our guests, they couldn't do enough. The service was fantastic!

Our guests were amazed by the size of the rooms and the quality of the food. Overall we are so happy that we chose the Clanard Court and would highly recommend it as a wedding venue.

From the first day we walked into the Clanard Court Hotel we just knew this was where we wanted to get married.

When we met with Emma the wedding coordinator she was so humble and lovely and we just knew straight away that we were in safe hands for our big day. I am so happy that we can say we …

had our wedding here as everyone, from all the staff members and everyone involved from the Clanard just made myself, Ray our family and friends feel right at home. They really could not do enough for us and always made sure we were happy and this truly made our day go so perfectly.

It is such a beautiful venue with all the special little touches and everything is done to detail with so much care. The reception and the food were out of this world and this was the consensus from all of our guests. The function room was elegant, stunning and what I always dreamed of. Myself and my husband will be forever grateful for the experience we received during the run-up to and on our wedding day.

We will always have such wonderful and beautiful memories that we will treasure thanks to everyone at the Clanard Court Hotel.

We have nothing but praise for all the staff at the Clanard Court Hotel. There was genuinely nothing more they could have done for us on our big day. They had everything thought out and planned so well.

We didn't have one guest out of the 120 that had one bad thing to say. It was nothing but …

praise all around for food, rooms and staff. The staff including the planners and the general managers who were there on the day spent their time amongst the guests making sure they were happy. They were very quick to act with the ever-changing events that wedding days bring.

We can't praise this team of people at The Clanard Hotel enough. A 10 out of 10 expierence.

The Clanard Court was beyond what we expected.. from the first meeting with Emma we were put at ease and everything flowed so smoothly. In the planning, they didn’t take long to reply to emails / phone calls and always were extremely helpful.

On the day we met John the other wedding …

co-ordinator, both he and Emma worked hand in hand and everything just went perfectly.

Our guests still talk about the great food, great staff and great venue. Our wedding was a day we will never forget and truly was the best day of our lives.

The Clanard Court will forever hold a place in our heart.
