Knockranny House Hotel & Spa | Reviews

It's hard to put into words just how outstanding Claire Concannon and the team are at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. Organising a wedding is totally different to how the day will land and run, the difference usually comes down to the hotel and the staff. And they did not disappoint. Claire is an …

absolute expert in her field and Ben managing the floor on the night was amazing. I never thought our wedding would be so relaxed and the fact that every guest mirrored those feelings, I know it wasn't imagined.
Knockranny House Hotel was our dream venue and they did not disappoint. Food was next level, and the evening at dinner and after was so well organised behind the scenes. All our guests continue to rave about the day and that is as great a testament as any. From the minute we had our first sit down about potentially getting married there way back in 2019, add in a pandemic, and then 4.5 years later we get our day, the team have been understanding; patient and so professional. They get 6 out of 5 stars for us and can't recommend them highly enough.

We had a wonderful day, everyone complimented the food and venue, Claire couldn't have done enough for us, she's excellent at her job and made everyone relax and enjoy the day!

We loved every minute and the accommodation was fab also!

If only we could do it all over again!

We had our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel on the 5th of October 2024 and we can’t say enough good things about the venue and staff especially our wedding coordinator Claire.

Since the moment we went to view Knockranny as a potential wedding venue, we were blown away by how organised and on …

the ball Claire was and this continued right up until the day we checked out after our wedding.

The venue is fabulous but the staff make it exceptional. Our guests were raving about the food at our wedding - the beef was a winner.

We couldn’t recommend this venue enough. We already can’t wait to go back for a stay.

From the moment we stepped inside Knockranny House Hotel, it was clear to us that it was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. We wanted a venue that was warm and welcoming and that could accommodate a smaller wedding, which made Knockranny the ideal option for us. A special shout-out for the …

Round Room, which is the most stunning room for a small ceremony, with amazing views of the surrounding landscape.

All the staff are so friendly, courteous and helpful. Never have I been to a hotel where every single member of staff has been so warm and friendly. So many of our guests praised the staff, the food and the luxurious rooms and have plans to return to avail of the lovely atmosphere and amenities.

Claire's experience as a wedding coordinator really shone through and put us at ease. She met all our requests with enthusiasm and was so confident and efficient, guiding us through every step of the process.

We had such an amazing day and that is largely due to Claire and her team, who worked so hard, and always with a smile. Thank you so much Claire and all the staff at Knockranny for making our wedding day such a wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic wedding at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. We couldn't have asked for more.

The rooms were lovely, the food was delicious, and the staff were wonderful. I would recommend Knockranny House to anyone for any small or large occasion.

Thank you so much to Claire, Cianán and all of the team in Knockranny House Hotel. They were a pleasure to deal with before and on the day.

We were well looked after from booking to after the day, thank you so much. Special thank you to Ben who was extremely helpful throughout our wedding day and night!

We recently had the incredible experience of celebrating our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue.

From start to finish, our day was nothing short of magical, and we owe so much of that to the wonderful team at Knockranny. From the moment we …

first visited the hotel, we were captivated by its stunning location. The backdrop of Croagh Patrick and the surrounding countryside is absolutely breathtaking, and the elegant architecture and beautifully maintained gardens made it feel like something out of a fairytale. We knew instantly that this was where we wanted to say "I do."

The team at Knockranny was exceptional from the beginning. The wedding coordinators made the entire planning process so much easier and stress-free. They listened to our ideas, offered fantastic suggestions, and were always available to answer any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, everything ran like clockwork, thanks to their meticulous attention to detail. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing we were in such capable hands.

The function room was beautifully decorated, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere that felt just right. The reception that followed was nothing short of 5 stars. The food was exquisite—each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how incredible the meal was, and we couldn’t agree more. The service was flawless; the staff were attentive and made sure that every guest was well taken care of. Our guests were equally impressed with the accommodation at the hotel. The rooms were luxurious and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day of celebrations. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their stay and how welcoming the hotel staff were.

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding venue in Westport, we wholeheartedly recommend Knockranny House Hotel—you won’t be disappointed!

Cannot recommend Knockranny highly enough. Claire and the team went above and beyond for us and our special day. Food was amazing and one thing guests kept complimenting. No problem was too big for them and they made the day flow with ease. Can't thank them enough for making our day truly special. …

Have since been back for our anniversary and will continue to come back. Exceptional hotel.

From the first time we saw Knockranny House Hotel, its beauty spoke for itself. As a venue, we have always considered it for our wedding. The decision, however, became certain from the first time we met with our wedding planner, Claire. Claire’s knowledge, professionalism, work ethic and calmness …

are second to none. We knew no matter what could happen, we were in the safest of hands. There was never a request to big or too small, Claire was always at the end of the phone to speak to us. When we walked through the doors on the day of the wedding everything we had planned and discussed was laid out exactly as we had asked. Knockranny House Hotels' level of attention to detail will not be matched. So many guests acknowledged how friendly the staff were, and their genuine nature put everyone at complete ease for the day. We are so thankful for the hospitality we were shown, and there is not one thing we would change. If we could do it all over again, the decision would be the same every time- Knockranny House Hotel.

What a venue!!

From the get-go, Claire and her team were excellent at dealing with the situation. You can see the dedication, hard work, and experience Claire has as a wedding coordinator. She ensured the planning process was completely stress-free and that the day itself was seamless and …

enjoyable.

Once we arrived at Knockranny House Hotel on our wedding day, we were treated like royalty! We soaked up a relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere in which all our needs were catered for. Nothing was too much to ask!

Our guests were taken aback by the care that all the staff gave them. The compliments on our choice of venue began then and have not stopped since! The food was absolutely delicious, and it was clear from all the cleared plates that everyone else agreed! The stunning scenery of Croagh Patrick provided the perfect backdrop for photos and wowed guests!

We truly had the most perfect day!
Thank you,
Cian & Sarah

First of all we have to say thank you so much for delivering the best day! Claire was so welcoming and knowledgable from the time we first visited, to the payment of the final bill.

Claire kept us up to date with any changes or requests leading up to our big day.

Every element of the wedding …

day was attended to, from the order of the speeches to the entrance music for my Wife and me to be introduced to our guests.

We knew Knockranny makes fantastic food, and it didn’t disappoint! The tasting itself gave us such a wide array of dishes to choose from, which only made making our final choices more difficult.

Everything on the day ran on time and without any hiccups, which is exactly what is needed on your wedding day.

The rooms were fantastic, especially the bridal suite!

Our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We were especially delighted by the incredible kindness and professionalism of the staff, with a special mention to Claire. She was outstanding from the planning stage …

right through to the big day, ensuring every detail was perfect.

The team truly went above and beyond for us and our guests, making everyone feel welcome and well cared for. The meal on the day was nothing short of amazing, and we were thrilled when they even offered seconds—a delightful touch that everyone appreciated!

Thanks to the seamless coordination of the hotel staff, our wedding day unfolded smoothly and effortlessly. Leading up to the event, we also had the pleasure of relaxing in the spa, which was a wonderful way to unwind and prepare for our special day.

We did not have a single complaint and were overjoyed with the positive feedback we received from our family and friends about the venue, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service.

We wholeheartedly recommend Knockranny House Hotel & Spa for anyone planning their special day. Our experience was nothing short of perfect, and we are so grateful for the memories created there.

The best day of our lives! We cannot recommend Knockranny highly enough. Since day 1, Claire and Anna have been exemplary, and we are so grateful for their support, particularly Anna, who was with us on the day. It’s a beautiful hotel with stunning grounds and views of Westport. It has a luxurious …

We got married in Knockranny House Hotel in December 2023. From the moment we viewed the hotel Claire and Anna could not have been more helpful. They made organising a wedding stress-free - any questions we had they had an answer for.

The meal was delicious and served at the times promised, …

allowing our night to run smoothly. We had people with dietary requirements and they were so well catered for, as were the children in the bridal party. All our wedding guests only had positive things to say about their experience in the hotel.

I could not recommend Knockranny House Hotel enough, Claire and Anna are amazing people to work with.

We look forward to returning to Knockranny House Hotel for our anniversary!

What a day! We got married here in August of 2023 and it was the best day of our lives. From the start, Claire was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her knowledge, help, and calmness in everything was simply amazing. She is without a doubt, a credit to this hotel and what she does. She was so fast …

to reply to any question and couldn’t do enough for us in the lead-up to our wedding.

I could just go on and on with how amazing she was. The hotel itself is fabulous. From the minute I walked in to view Knockranny, I knew this was where we wanted to get married. The ballroom is stunning, the reception/cocktail lounge is such a lovely bonus to have. Somewhere where our guests could all relax and be together before dinner. The food is exceptional, to this day, people still talk about how good the food was at our wedding. The rooms are so spacious and comfortable and feel luxurious. The staff were & are so attentive, always checking to see did we need anything throughout the day.

The day went perfectly and we will always look back on our wedding day with such happiness. This is thanks to all the help we received from numerous people throughout the build-up and on the day but our day would not have been perfect only for Claire!

Thank you so much to everyone at Knockranny House Hotel for the best wedding we could have hoped for.

We had our Christmas wedding reception in Knockranny house hotel. It was just amazing from start to finish Anna & Claire were just incredible.

They couldn't have done more for us, we were so happy with our wedding menu. The food was 10/10, all our guests were just blown away by how good the …

food and the service was. One month later and people are still telling us what a great day and night they had! We would truly recommend Knockranny house hotel to anyone looking for a 5star venue.

Everything about our wedding day was exceptional! Claire and Anna were both amazing to deal with. We planned our wedding from abroad in Australia so most of our contact was done via email.

They were so helpful and accommodating at all times. Our guests couldn't get over the quality of the …

service, the food, and the gorgeous hotel rooms. We will be coming back to Knockranny every single year to reminisce on our wonderful day. Thank you to all at Knockranny for making it so special and welcoming.

I would recommend this hotel to absolutely anyone for their wedding or just a night away!

Review submitted on Fri, 19th of January, 2024

Put quite simply the Knockranny allowed us to have a wedding more perfect than we could have dreamed. From the moment we first walked in to view the venue, to the meal tasting , preparing the smallest of details in the room and of course the day itself we were made to feel so special and like the …

staff would do anything to make our day that extra bit special.

I have never been to a venue where every single member of staff is so friendly, accomodating and helpful. Everyone during the build up, on the day and the days after seemed so genuinely happy for us and this added to how perfect our wedding was. The general food service, speed and quality was better than we could have hoped. The venue looked so beautiful and everyone was so accomodating considering we had a lot of our own individual requests. When me and Natalie arrived at the Knockranny after our church service and drove up to see the red carpet, all of the staff lined to clap us in and toast our new marriage with a glass of champagne it was truly one of the most special moments of the best day of our lives.

It would have not been possible without Claire & Anna. In my speech I said that they had both made us feel like we were the only wedding they had ever planned and this is the best compliment I could pay. No task was too big and no favour was too far. You did everything we asked and more and we will be forever grateful for how special you made our day. You are both absoloute super heroes and I don't know how you both did it but we are both so thankful and stuggle to find the words to explain just how grateful we are.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you for everything you did and we can both quite safely reccomend the Knockranny as the most beautiful and magical venues you could hope to get married in.

When my husband and I got engaged we knew there was only one place we wanted to have our wedding reception….Knockranny House Hotel. We had attended a number of family weddings there previously and were always so impressed with the venue, its views, location, food and mostly their wonderful staff. …

We came into the process with high expectations and we were not disappointed. We would like to particularly mention their dedicated wedding coordinator Clare, who went above and beyond for us and is one of the most efficient, accommodating people I have ever met. From our first viewing of the venue to our recent return for our first anniversary, we were looked after to the highest of standards. The planning process was made stress-free and was very well organised which put us at ease. The food was exquisite, our guests were highly impressed with the menu on the day. Every aspect of our wedding day was seamless and allowed us to really enjoy every moment and for that, we are extremely grateful. I couldn’t recommend Knockranny highly enough.

We had the most amazing day in Knockranny for our wedding. Claire the wedding coordinator was not only amazing in the lead-up to the day, making us feel at ease and on hand for any questions, but she was also amazing on the day. She is a true professional, and it really makes a difference to the …

whole wedding experience. The hotel itself is top-class, I was told by many guests it was the best wedding food they've ever had, which was great to hear!
I would highly recommend this hotel and the staff as a wedding hotel, and couldn't be happier with our wedding.

Thanks to Claire and everyone at Knockranny!

Both I and my husband live in England and had our hearts set on getting married in Mayo due to family connections.
From the minute we visited Knockranny House, we knew it would be our wedding venue. We received a warm welcome from Claire and the incredible views over Croagh Patrick were just …

incredible.
Claire was brilliant throughout the whole process - always a quick reply over email to all our questions. It really made our lives a lot easier when planning such a big event overseas!
All of our guests commented on the food and service throughout their stay.
We cannot fault how our wedding day went - the staff worked seamlessly to ensure all went to plan. They certainly took control of the fine details!
We are so happy we chose Knockranny in beautiful Westport for our special day!

I don't know where to start because there isn't one thing I can fault Knockranny on as a wedding venue.

Claire is the most incredible wedding coordinator, she is so efficient, so professional and a downright wonderful person. I am a very organised person so I was very anxious about trusting …

Claire because I wanted everything to go smoothly on our wedding day and I wanted it to be exactly right so nothing could go wrong. Claire did not disappoint!

From the first meeting we just knew we wanted to get married at Knockranny, the venue is beautiful, the food is incredible and Claire made it clear from the start that nothing would be a problem - it turned out she was more organised than me and that's saying something!

From allowing us to cut our wedding cake with a sword (yes a real-life sword) to personally escorting us to where we needed to be on the day; providing us with food literally served on a silver platter in the cold weather so we could have a break from the photographers - Claire did it all. Our daughter got overwhelmed during the reception before dinner, Claire personally held up the chef (thank you again) from serving dinner until we got her settled with a babysitter and even got us to sit down for a couple of minutes before we entered the dinner hall and gave us a much-needed glass of prosecco!

Claire and Anna were always on the other end of the phone when we needed anything answered or emailed within the day with regards to room bookings and changing things we needed done before the wedding day and never once made us feel like anything was too much.

They were always so polite, so kind and really genuinely helped with some ideas of their own!

The chef made the nicest duck I've ever had in my life and our guests were delightfully shocked when he offered second helpings to everyone on a platter at the end of our wedding meal.

We already can't wait to go back for our first wedding anniversary, thank you so much for making our dream come true.

5 Stars are not enough for this venue!! There will never be enough words to describe how fantastic Claire and all the staff at Knockranny House Hotel are! Quite quickly after our engagement the first venue we visited was Knockranny, on a whim, with no appointment and no time scheduled to meet with …

anyone, regardless of that Claire met us and gave us the full tour there and then. As you would we kept looking around at other venues but we found ourselves always comparing to Knockranny, but nothing could and we knew instantly that Knockranny House was our dream venue. From the moment we stepped inside the doors even up to now weeks after the wedding! Claire was nothing short of brilliant, nothing was ever too much, too big or too small. We were blown away. I could honestly speak all day about Claire. AMAZING! She was always available to us either via email phone or even to pop in. We felt like we could have been the only couple in the hotel! From the food tasting and nights stay, to the wedding day and the days in between. Claire facilitated us a couple of days early to start decorating and ship stuff to the hotel. We cannot recommend Claire and all her staff enough! The food on the day was fantastic, overall the organisation of the whole day was STUNNING. Everything went so smoothly as perfect as could be. Our guests couldn't believe such a stunning place existed, the views the food the rooms, absolutely everything was MAGICAL. AGAIN I could go on all day with how brilliant Claire and all the staff have been for us. But a few special mentions as well as Claire, to Chris the porter, thank you so much for your unwavering kindness and help throughout our days with you. To Ben, fantastic such a friendly face and always a kind word. Anna, brilliant nothing was too much for her, always on hand to help.

If we could do it again tomorrow we wouldn't change a single thing!!

Very much appreciated, we can't wait to come back!

We can't recommend Knockranny House Hotel and Spa enough as a wedding venue. Claire and Anna made the whole process of planning so easy for us and kept this sometimes far too laid back couple on track to make sure it all came together on the day. Nothing we asked was too much for the team at …

Knockranny and our family and friends are still telling us about the amazing food and service 7 months on! The accommodation was beautiful and our guests were all amazed by the size of the bedrooms.

Knockranny House Hotel was the perfect choice for our wedding reception. From our initial viewing appointment, right up to our wedding day itself, Claire was an absolute dream to work with. Our emails were always replied to promptly, and the attention to detail given to planning our day was …

fantastic. On the day, we received so many compliments from our guests about the decor in the hotel, the efficient service, the warm welcome our guests received from all staff members, and the amazing food that was served for our meal. We still have guests talking about the food weeks after our wedding! We also had the perfect backdrop for so many beautiful photographs. We are so glad we chose Knockranny as our wedding venue and highly recommend it to any engaged couples searching for their perfect venue.

From start to finish our Wedding Experience with Knockranny House Hotel was absolutely superb.
From our initial planning meeting with the Wedding Co-ordinator (Claire Concannon) everything was just plain sailing. Every detail was tended to. The advice received on every aspect from the menu choices, …

pre wedding reception options, wine on the table options, wedding toast options- all was spot on !
The venue had figured that in our best interests we should procure our own and they were superb in executing that plan!
We had a 2 day event and this was managed to precision by Claire and her experienced team…..leaving us to enjoy the occasion with no fuss!
All of our (200) guests were blown away with the quality of the food and efficiency of the service at the Wedding Meal and again at the buffet the following day.
The accommodation in the venue is top notch, furnished to a luxurious standard throughout.
The setting was absolutely perfect for wedding photos with the hotel itself nestled in the foothills of Croak Patrick overlooking the quaint picturesque town of Westport, Co Mayo.
We could not recommend this venue enough if you are planning your Big Day - 5 stars superb !!

We only had a small intimate wedding, as it was my second one. There were just 20 of us but Knockranny House made us feel very special. Nothing was too much trouble. We all wanted to sit together, they organised the table for us. The venue, food and accommodation were excellent. Rate 5/5

We were recommended the Knockranny after we chatted with a few venues in Dublin. I (the bride) found the Dublin venues 'cold' and that everything -- and I mean, everything -- came at an additional cost. Wanted napkins? Charge! Wanted wine glasses? Charge! Wanted to have doors on the room? Charge! It …

drove me silly trying to budget for the event we had pictured with those as the frameworks. Then we were introduced to the team at the Knockranny who are consummate professionals and who have a fair pricing system for an excellent event. I was given a handful of 'this or that' choices within our budget, which worked wonderfully to customize the day without it being a headache. Claire at the Knockranny and later Anna took such great care of us and our guests. I found working with them a pleasure. They were attentive to emails and made sure to keep me updated about important dates for decisions. It was such a carefree experience and I am so grateful to them!

Superb service from start to finish. Claire, our wedding planner was outstanding. The effort Claire and all the staff made on the day of our wedding would be impossible to beat. She is constantly working behind the scenes and since our wedding day, we have reflected many times with our parents on …

the fantastic service we received on our wedding day from Claire and the service staff. The food was outstanding. This is also something commented on by our wedding guests since our wedding day. It was tasty and cooked to perfection. On arrival on our wedding day, Knockranny staff went above and beyond to have our function room decorated to perfection. The ambiance created from the decor provided by Knockranny was fabulous and ensured we didn’t need to use external vendors to decorate the function room. The bedroom we stayed on in our wedding weekend was so spacious and met our every need while staying at Knockranny. When we packed up to leave Knockranny, Claire met us in person to return anything we had brought to the hotel prior to the wedding E.g wedding cake, alcohol and postbox for cards. Everything we had delivered at the hotel had been returned with a checklist of what exactly was received and what was being returned. I was blown away by the level of detail and care that was taken to ensure all of our goods were returned accurately. When finalising our bill when leaving Knockranny there were no bill discrepancies and we left feeling that we really got value for the service provided. My husband had invited many guests from Cork as this is where he is originally from. Since our wedding, many of the guests from Cork have returned to Knockranny on holiday over the last 15 months. Myself and my husband have also returned to Knockranny to stay on two occasions since our wedding with our most recent being last week when we returned with my parents, sister and brother-in-law. This is a testament to how much we loved Knockranny on our wedding day!!

food and service and we really couldn't have been happier with the way the day went off. Their suites are also perfect if you wish to get ready there on the morning of the wedding which we did. It was great to have the space in the suite to keep the bridal party together.

Would not have changed a thing about our weekend if we could go back again, THANK YOU.

But a few special mentions as well as Claire, to Chris the porter, thank you so much for your unwavering kindness and help throughout our days with you. To Ben, fantastic such a friendly face and always a kind word. Anna, brilliant nothing was too much for her, always on hand to help.
If we could do it again tomorrow we wouldn't change a single thing!!
Very much appreciated, we can't wait to come back!

We highly recommend Knockranny House Hotel as a wedding venue; they are truly exceptional. We got married there in July 2023. We are both living abroad so were initially worried that planning would prove more difficult; like many couples, we spoke with multiple venues but we knew straight away that …

the team in Knockranny was a class above. Claire and Anna quickly put any worries we had at ease. From the beginning, they were professional and helpful. Their communication was exemplary and we were most impressed by this; any enquiry, no matter how small was promptly dealt with. This was truly invaluable in keeping the stress at bay.

On the days around the wedding, the staff were so impressive; always attentive and friendly. The management team all made a point of introducing themselves to us and let us know they were there to help should we need anything.

They had set up the function room beautifully and exactly how we had requested. The day ran so smoothly; as we knew it would. We had complete trust in Claire and Anna; we knew in the lead-up that they would have it all covered on the day. They also coordinated with all our vendors - another worry off the list!! We could not find a single fault in the running of the day itself. As bride and groom, we can't emphasize enough how important it is to have confidence in the team who run your wedding day.

The food, decor, drink, service... EVERYTHING was perfect on the day. Our guests only had good things to say....several said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding!! Several others literally pointed out Claire to us and I think my bridesmaid summed it up when she said "She's like Wonder Woman flying around".

We could not recommend Knockranny House Hotel highly enough as a wedding venue. Easily the best wedding decision we made.

My husband and I visited the hotel in August 2022 and met with Anna, one of the wedding coordinators. We knew immediately that was our venue. Anna was amazing, she explained every aspect i.e menu options, civil ceremony, the day itself, music and had all the necessary contacts. We were shown …

around and saw the room where the function would be and where the civil ceremony would be and we viewed the accommodation. When it was booked, Anna and her colleague Claire basically guided us and prompted us through the entire process. They both organised everything perfectly. On the day itself, both Anna and Claire were on site. The room decor was fantastic. The food and service was fantastic. All our guests raved about the venue and Westport itself. It was an unforgettable day which we will treasure. Claire was so thoughtful, she put the bouquets in the hotel cold room to preserve them when ceremony was over knowing I wanted to put them on family graves.

Thank you to Claire, Anna and all the staff who made our day happen.

We were delighted that we chose Knockranny House Hotel as our wedding venue as it is a classy hotel in a stunning location. Special thanks to Claire, who was professional and supportive of our ever changing requests, especially during the pandemic. The hotel allowed us to have our drinks reception …

at La Fougerie Restaurant, which was a special touch as guests could enjoy the view of Croagh Patrick whilst sipping on their champagnes. Everyone complimented the food as it was so delicious and there was plenty of it to go around. Service was top notch. Thank you Claire and all at Knockranny! Grace and Rodney Mason x

Best Wishes- Fiona & Sean

Where do I begin!? From the very moment I walked through the doors of Knockranny House, I knew it was our venue. From the decor and roaring fires to the staff and relaxed vibe, it was the perfect hotel.
Claire, our wedding co-ordinator was outstanding. She couldn’t have been more helpful and as …

I was organising the wedding from Cork, it was brilliant to have such a proactive person at the other end that would answer every question almost immediately on mail and understood the theme and what was important on our wedding day.
The day of the wedding went so smoothly and this was due to the due diligence of Claire and her managers.
Our guests were raving about the hotel and the food for days after the wedding.
The hotel is ideally situated close to Westport town as well which makes it great for day 2 options.
Fantastic hotel and I can’t thank them enough.

From the moment we got engaged on the top of Croagh Patrick, we knew we wanted to get married in Westport. For us, there was only one hotel in mind – Knockranny House Hotel.

We were so fortunate that the date we wanted was available and on meeting Claire we knew we would be in safe hands. We …

were planning our wedding from abroad, which can be stressful, but Claire's organisation and calm manner meant we had nothing to worry about. The venue was exquisite, and all the staff are so attentive and friendly.

On the day, our friends and family raved about the location, ballroom, views, but especially the food. Our compliments to the chef who served canapes and sandwiches for the drinks reception, a superb 6 course meal to 200+ guests and afters food later in the evening, and all in a very timely manner.

When the owner, Geraldine, came to the table to personally congratulate us we were truly blown away. As a family run hotel, you can see the pride and passion that Geraldine and all the staff have and that is evident from everyone you meet.

Our bridal suite was stunning, and we had the most beautiful view of Croagh Patrick from our room, which meant so much to us.

Thank you again Claire, you were an absolute dream, and we look forward to coming back in 2023 for our anniversary.

Claire & All the team in Knockranny.
Thank you so much for looking after us on our special day. We really appreciate your great efforts to facilitate us to have the most wonderful day of our lives.
Ciana & Eoin.

When I was researching wedding photographers, I found a beautiful photo of a reception room and following the internet trail I found the photographers blog where they complimented the Knockranny wedding planner, Claire. And let me tell you, Claire and Anna are the duo for your special day. In the …

planning stages, no detail is forgotten. They are ten steps ahead of you, stay in communication, reply quickly and efficiently. During the event they are polite, professional, and hospitable to you, your bridal party, and your guests. I have attended weddings before where the bride and groom are answering questions right up to the dance floor and at the Knockranny, that wasn't the case -- every single detail was covered! But we felt Anna's presence the entire evening making sure that the delicious food, the sensational decor, and the lively spirit of the venue were up to top notch. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the guests are still raving about the views, the location to Westport town, and the comfort and style of the rooms. The breakfast and bar were always accommodating. You really felt when you stepped in to the hotel on the Thursday before the ceremony that you were the belle of the ball and for that, taking the pressure and stress out of hosting such an important event off the shoulders of the bride and groom I cannot thank the Knockranny enough. We are so glad we went with this venue and are excited to come back for our anniversary next year -- it will be wonderful to walk the halls and remember when they were full of our friends and family toasting and celebrating the adventures ahead. You can't go wrong when you choose the Knockranny -- trust this bride!

We had our wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel and Spa, Westport and cannot recommend them highly enough.

All of the staff we met during the course of planning our big day and on duty on the day itself were all very professional, experienced and friendly, something that was especially …

noteworthy at a time when much of the hospitality industry is struggling to secure and retain staff. The wedding coordinators Claire and Anna, in particular, were absolutely fantastic. Whenever we contacted them with any queries during the planning stage one of them would respond almost immediately, they facilitated all requests we had and ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day leaving us free to enjoy ourselves with our guests.

The venue itself is gorgeous, it is an older style hotel, but is very well maintained and elegantly decorated. Both the main reception room and the smaller adjoining room the pre dinner drinks reception was held in are very well laid out and have a good flow between them, and both looked incredibly beautiful when dressed for the day.

The food service was amazing - we heard nothing but compliments from our guests, including from some who we had feared would not like the menu we selected. Everything was really fresh, well cooked and well presented and certainly there were no complaints about portion size with some guests reporting that they had been offered not only seconds but thirds and even that they had been allowed to try all of the menu options.

Knockranny truly pulled out all the stops for us and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

There aren't enough positive words to describe our wedding experience at Knockranny!
From the moment we contacted the hotel about organising a viewing to checking out after our big day - we had the most incredible experience.
The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot but it honestly is the only …

word to describe Knockranny's Wedding Coordinator - Claire. She is an absolute lady through and through and is a pleasure to deal with. From the moment we sat down with her in December 2020 to discuss our wedding, right up until our wedding day in July 2022, she was a joy to be around. From her sheer professionalism, to her incredible organisation, from her immediate replies to emails to her tips and advice, we honestly loved every step of the journey with Claire! On our wedding day she was amazing, working both in front and behind the scenes to ensure that everything kept ticking over on time. Even her eye for detail is amazing - laying out our photographs, sweets table, signs and baskets in the most wonderful way!

There is such a warmth from once you walk in the door of Knockranny and this is down to the incredible staff. From the lovely ladies on the front desk, to the bar staff, the cleaning staff to the function room staff - each and every member always had a smile on their face and made all of our guests feel so welcome.

From speaking to many of our guests - there has been no question as to their standout part of the day... our wedding meal (or "feast" as it has been named my some family members!)
Our wedding meal was simply outstanding!! Each course was of the most sublime quality, impeccable presentation and sheer class. There wasn't one single negative comment about any aspect from the meal and coming from two family of foodies - that is REALLY saying something!

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we know that we have Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny to thank for that.

We will be forever grateful to you all.

We celebrated our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel in June of this year and our experience with Claire and the team was exceptional from start to finish. Our guests could not speak highly enough of the venue, the food and the service that we experienced all day long.
The venue offered the perfect …

location for outdoor pictures and saved us having to travel to another location on the day.
The drinks reception space was comfortable and allowed our guests to relax and mingle in a private area prior to sitting down for the meal.
Every single course of our dinner was delicious with many availing of the generous offering of seconds (and in some cases thirds!). The service during dinner and until the early hours of the morning was excellent.

We only wish we could do it all over again in Knockranny!

Knockranny House Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding this year! Claire was an absolute star from the get go and couldn't have done enough for us!
She always responded almost instantly even on weekends (we live in the USA so there was also a time difference) and went so out of her way to …

help us and cater to our needs! Nothing was a problem! Having her as the wedding coordinator at the venue was amazing and gave us such peace of mind!
The venue itself is stunning and all the staff are so unbelievably nice and accommodating! Anyone we dealt with onsite was so professional and helpful! The rooms are stunning and the spa is top class! I have to commend John Durkan the head chef who made sure that the dinner was out of this world! Our guests raved about the food and the dinner service was seamless! I also have to commend the bar tenders! Every cocktail was spot on and everyone had a drink in their hand at all times!
I would recommend anyone to have their wedding in Knockranny for the ballroom alone! It is huge and stunning!! Everything is laid out perfectly and they run a seriously tight ship where everyone knows exactly what is going on! I really can't say enough good things about the hotel! They even gave us a complimentary night's stay for our first year anniversary and honestly, we can't wait to go back!
Thank you so so much Claire, John and all the staff! You gave us the perfect day!

All of our guests were raving about the tasty food and the excellent service that was provided to us on the day.

From meeting …

Claire at the beginning to the day of our wedding, she was absolutely brilliant and we had full confidence in her! Nothing was a problem. She made everything work and it took the worry of us as we knew how efficient she was.

All of our guests made it their business to tell us how good each course of their meal was- a lot said it was the best food they ever had!

The bedrooms and the sheer class of the hotel was another talking point amongst guests. We got all our photos outside the hotel with the spectacular view of Croagh Patrick in the background.

I would not hesitate in recommending Knockranny Hotel. You will be guaranteed the best day of your lives, as I know we had!!

From the moment we walked into our first viewing until the moment we checked out after our incredible wedding we could not have been any happier with Claire and all the team at Knockranny House Hotel. Everything was incredible from start to finish. We could not find one single fault. We could not …

have asked for a more helpful co-ordinator than Claire. She is exceptional at her job. She had everything under control and we never had to worry about anything in the lead up to the wedding. On the day itself we could not praise Claire and her staff enough. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the rooms, everything was 10/10. Every single guest commented on how great the food was. We are so so happy we made the decision to get married in Knockranny. For any couple out there even slightly considering this as your wedding venue just go for it. I wouldn't even hesitate in recommending to everyone I know.

I cannot recommend Knockranny House Hotel enough as a wedding venue. From the day we booked over 2 years ago up until weeks after our wedding they have been a pleasure to deal with. Claire, the wedding coordinator, is so talented at her job. She was quick to respond to emails and always on hand to …

answer questions and alleviate any concerns. During the uncertainty of covid, she made us feel so at ease and always resasssured us our day would be fabulous no matter what - and it truly was. The service and Staff on the day were impeccable. The Christmas decor was beautiful. The hotel had a really personal touch. The owner even attended to us at our meal. The wedding meal itself was well received by everyone. It was extremely delicious and tasty. When they offered seconds of everything and anything, people had nowhere to put it. Even the canapés at the reception kept flowing. I honestly can't do the day justice in words. But you won't be disappointed with Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. I am not from the area so I checked in the night before, got ready there for my wedding day and stayed the night after. From start to finish, it was truly magical.

food was all weekend. The mashed potatoes were a favourite and I lost count of the number of people that said that to me afterwards!

Claire was so easy to deal with from the very start. No request was ever a problem. She made life very easy for us and we will be forever grateful to her. After having to postpone for a full year due to the pandemic, Claire was always at the other end of the phone or email to offer support and guidance. She really is one of the best in the business & we would recommend Knockranny to anyone searching for their wedding venue. If you choose Knockranny you will not be disappointed!

We are already looking forward to our next visit back to Knockranny! It will always be very special to us!

The food was absolutely delicious and the service on the day was second to none. Not only was the food great but it was piping hot, exactly what you want for your Winter Wedding! The hotel and function room was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. We got some amazing photos there. The function room was lovely and spacious, something that made everyone feel comfortable.

All of our guests were so impressed with the bedrooms, so many of them have already booked to stay a night again. They are still talking about the beautiful rooms, great food and excellent service on the day.

The best day!

We had our long awaited wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel last month, having postponed by a year due to the pandemic. Covid meant that at times we didn't know whether we were coming or going, particularly as we are based in the UK, so getting back to meet our suppliers …

before the day was a task in itself. Throughout it all, Claire was nothing but kind, patient and supportive. At the end of every phone call, she took time to answer our questions or make more changes to align with the changing circumstances.

The function room on the day was absolutely beautiful. The size of the room meant our guests didn't have to worry about being crammed in/too close to each other, but at the same time the room didn't look sparse. It was beautifully set up by the hotel team and the venue decor company. Having a separate drinks reception room is also brilliant. So many hotels nowadays skimp on this, so guests are left mingling in the lobby with other guests who are checking in. Not at Knockranny House Hotel, the wedding area is self contained but spacious with an outdoor space. The same goes for the bridal suite. It was the biggest of all the venues we viewed, which is important when there are six ladies to get ready.

The food was delicious and presented very tastefuly on the plate. Our guests commented on how it far exceeded the usual salmon/beef served at weddings. And there was definitely no shortage, seconds and thirds were offered. Service on the day was also excellent, the staff was very helpful and nobody wanted for anything.

Knockranny House Hotel is a really classy venue, and Claire and her team are an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are so glad we picked Knockranny House Hotel for our special day. Special thanks to Claire!

As you can imagine the build up to our wedding during this very difficult time with COVID-19 was very hard, but we really wanted to go ahead with our date for this year which was the 9th of October. I cannot praise Knockranny enough, they were just wonderful to us and in particular Claire Concannon …

there was nothing she could not do for us. A couple of days before our wedding the numbers went from fifty to twenty five. but when I rang Claire to advise her that we were going ahead she reassured me that all would be fine. When we arrived the night before Claire had moved the wedding venue to a smaller room and it was just wonderful. So all went so well and really that was down to the management and staff from Knockranny. Ourselves and our families had a great weekend and like I said Knockranny made it feel all normal. I cannot recommend Knockranny highly enough for a wedding venue. From the food, the hotel venue it is just wonderful. It is somewhere that myself and Shaun rate so highly and will come back to stay there with our family and friends again very soon. Thanks again, Thelma & Shaun McLaughlin.

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny House Hotel on Friday 3rd January 2020.

From our first visit, we just knew it was the place for us! The hotel is absolutely stunning - so beautifully decorated, and even though it is quite large, there is a really intimate feel. It had everything we were …

looking for - our dream venue.

Claire Concannon, the wedding coordinator, is amazing!! Her vast experience and confidence in her role was obvious as soon as we met her – she was so accommodating and gave us fantastic advice throughout our planning. She was always available over email or phone and we knew we were in capable hands.

We were the hotel’s last wedding of a very busy Christmas season, but in the days before, the staff made us feel like we were the only wedding they had to think about - we called to the hotel on numerous occasions during this time and there was always someone waiting to meet us and help us however they could. These meetings made us feel so relaxed as we could tell that everything was under control.

My family and I stayed in the hotel the night before the wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! The penthouse is amazing and so luxurious; it was the perfect backdrop for our preparation and the morning photos.

We had total trust in Claire and her team (a special word of thanks to Nick and Michael!). We were treated like royalty – nothing was too much to ask, but we didn’t have to ask because they had it covered! The day ran so smoothly and was even more wonderful than we ever could have imagined. Our guests were so impressed with everything about the hotel, and the food was incredible.

Knockranny are the wedding experts. The food is outstanding, the ballroom is beautiful, the rooms are classic and elegant, and the staff are superb. We wouldn’t change a thing about our day. If you’re looking for excellent and professional service, and you want your wedding day to be perfect, look no further!

Each and every staff member that we dealt with was so kind, complementary, helpful and engaging with us and our families, and everyone left the hotel with such fantastic memories. So much so that my sisters, aunts and I are coming back for afternoon tea next weekend!!

Claire, thank you so so much once again for everything. You’re a consummate professional and absolutely amazing at what you do and we are so happy with the service. Hopefully our paths will cross another time at more weddings in the hotel.

With fondest regards,
Niamh & Cianán xx

Everyone had a fantastic day all round!!
What more can i say! The wedding co-ordinator, Claire, is phenomenal at her job. She honestly could not do more to help us and was constantly checking in to make everything was going okay. The table and bar staff were also exceptional. We still have people …

commenting on how good the dinner was, with many saying it's the best wedding dinner they have ever gotten. We cannot reccomend Knockranny House Hotel enough.

What can I say about Claire and all the staff and Knockranny. Firstly, Claire met my husband and I and gave us a wonderful tour of the hotel, the rooms, the suites and the function room. We had an amazing tasting night where we got to sample fabulous food and treat our mammies! The hardest part was …

choosing from all the wonderful dishes. During the run up to the wedding we had lots of meetings between dropping over our decorations to seeing a wedding in action. No job was too small and no stone was left unturned by Claire and her team. We had a breathtaking suite for our wedding night, the food was outstanding on the day and the decorations were amazing. The whole day ran without a hitch and we are so happy we chose Knockranny for our special day! I would not hesitate to recommend it to any couple! We were made feel so welcome on the day and I especially want to thank Geraldine who made so many of the guests feel welcome! Thank you so much Claire for everything!

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny last August.... I couldn’t sing their praises highly enough. From the moment we met Claire (Wedding Co-Ordinator and Events Manager) she made us feel so at ease. We had met with other Co-Ordinators in different hotels, but it was Claire’s …

professionalism and helpfulness that ultimately made us decide on Knockranny as our reception venue. From that day forward Claire looked after us with her genuine kindness and patience and made our whole experience so enjoyable. Nothing we asked of her was too much trouble - accommodating and guiding us through the whole planning. The day itself couldn’t have gone better, the hotel is simply beautiful; with the views and location. I’ve attended weddings as a guest in Knockranny previously so I knew the reputation it had and we were not at all disappointed. The food and service were top class... lots of our guests mentioned how lovely the staff were too. Thanks also to Geraldine & Adrian who made us feel so welcome and special - we really felt at home for the whole weekend. I honestly couldn’t recommend Claire and Knockranny highly enough - you gave us the most wonderful memories and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Our decision to have our wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel was an easy one after our first visit to the hotel. The grounds, location and hotel itself are of the highest standard and the staff were brilliant to deal with. In particular Claire, the wedding coordinator, made our lives so much …

easier as she was always on hand to help us not matter what the request and was extremely professional and friendly to deal with. On the day of the wedding, all the guests really enjoyed the day and were very complimentary of the hotel, the staff and the food was a big hit. I would highly recommend Knockranny House Hotel to anyone thinking of having their wedding reception. They would be in very safe hands with Claire and her team.

There are no words to describe how happy we were with the professionalism, support and kindness we received from Knockranny House Hotel, especially the wedding coordinator, Clare. We had quite a large wedding of 390 guests and every guest was taken care of so well, with fabulous food and 5 star …

service. The day ran like clockwork and the meal itself was outstanding. Clare was always there with whatever questions we had, nothing was too much. We will be eternally grateful to you Clare for everything and to the staff and management of Knockranny House hotel.

We really could not recommend this hotel enough!

We had our wedding reception in Knockranny House Hotel in October. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. But I guess everyone says that about their own wedding so I will go into some detail for you to make up your own mind.
It all started when my fiance and I met with Claire (the …

unbelievable wedding coordinator) to see the hotel, go through our options and look at available dates. We fell in love with the hotel and the scenery straight away. Once we decided on a date for the wedding Claire was like our wing woman from then on. Nothing is a problem for this lady and she makes everything look so easy. She also gave us great advise throughout the entire planning process.
Then there was the tasting night. This was definitely my favourite part when it came to the organising. We went to Knockranny one evening to taste different options for the wedding menu with our family. My mouth waters even thinking about it now. We could have put everything on the menu so picking a few from what we tasted was the difficult part.
On the day everything was better than we both imagined. The food in the cocktail bar before the meal was so tasty and the ballroom looked beautiful. People are still commenting on how amazing the food was on the day. That is something I can guarantee you wont have to worry about on the day.
The bridal suite...you wont see anything else like it. I don't have words for how amazing it is, just book an appointment to meet with Claire and she will give you a tour. Wow isn't a strong enough word!
You cannot go wrong with booking this venue for your wedding. We both look forward to attending weddings here in the future because it is such an amazing place.

To Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny House Hotel,

Brian and I can't thank you enough for all you did for us both in the run up to and on our wedding day. Claire is the loveliest, kindest lady to work with. Anything we asked for was never a problem. The team are heart warming and …

professional in everything they do. Our day ran so smoothly and we have received numerous compliments about the fantastic food and service which everyone got on the day. All of our guests fell in love with Knockranny just as we have done. Thank you so much for everything and for making our day come ttogether exactly as we had imagined.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the staff at Knockranny for making our wedding day so special. The two of us and our guests absolutely loved our weekend.

Special thanks to yourself who from day one we knew we could trust and put our faith in. No request was too big or …

too small. For such a massive part of our day planning everything for the hotel was one of the easiest parts of our wedding. We look forward to returning to Knockranny in the future.

Myself and my husband got married the 15th June 2019. We worked with Claire and we cannot recommend her enough. She is so welcoming, professional and she just knows her stuff. She was so so easy to work with and nothing was an issue. I did a lot of extra DIY things myself which the staff laid out as …

I wished with no problems. There was no moment where I was stressed or worried about anything at all as Claire is very experienced and is always at the other end of the phone/email and always replies very promptly. The knockranny hotel and staff have a consistent track record in all areas for weddings and any event/occasion. The day went perfectly with all the staff working hard and so professionally and made us feel so special on the day going above and beyond for us. No other place like it in my opinion. You cannot go wrong cannot beat this venue and wedding coordinator, Claire. Thank you so so much.

I have attached photos that we had taken in Knockranny. You can use them as you wish. Our photographer asked for his name to be with them as he took them. Padraic Fallon Photography.

Where to start.... !!
The idea of planning a wedding from Texas was daunting, but from our first email from Claire, we knew Knockranny House was where we wanted to spend our special day!
There was nothing too big or small for Claire and all of the staff at Knockranny- much of our communication …

was over email- but the food, the room (everything down to the lighting, background music, and table decorations), the flow of the day, the second day celebrations- nothing could have been better.
Claire responds to every email so quickly and with more than the necessary information and she meets bride and groom (and any of their family members) as many times as they wish before the big day.
We had the most special time and we were made to feel like we were the only people in the hotel the whole time we were there. Every last staff member was absolutely superb and so attentive to every guest, and the food was delicious! Thank you to every person at Knockranny House for making our time there so incredible - we cannot thank you enough and can’t wait to go back to relive all the memories!!

Knockranny is a special place, with very special staff. Claire and her team made our wedding day the most special experience of our lives, in fact the whole experience leading up to the wedding was made so easy by Claire that we didn't have to worry about anything. Every last detail we asked for was …

taken care of with no fuss. Claire's attention to detail and knowledge of every possible scenario really made us so, so relaxed. The venue itself was just absolutely amazing. The common trend we are hearing from all our guests is 'the food was the nicest we have ever had at a wedding" and we agree with our guests....it was incredible! The whole day and night was way beyond what we expected and it was just flawless. One of the things we loved so much about Knockranny is that you are made to feel so special, we were welcomed by the owners themselves and made to feel so welcome. We stayed an extra two nights after our wedding and even though there was another wedding the next day, Claire still made sure every time she saw us to say hello and check that we were OK. We both really couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we can't wait to go back for our anniversary. Thank you so much for giving us the best day of our lives.

Review submitted on Mon, 7th of October, 2019

When describing weddings, it is often that you hear the words “best day of my life” used over and over. The gravity of that term starts to wear off. Make no mistake about it- Knockranny House truly made this the single BEST day of our lives. My husband Briocán and I are living in Boston but …

always knew we wanted to get married back where he and his family is from. We assumed wedding planning from 3000 miles away would come with a long list of challenges but thanks to Knockranny’s Wedding Coordinator, the phenomenal Claire Concannon we couldn’t have been more wrong. Claire simply was everything you hope your wedding coordinator would be. While she is organized and works to get everything done, she also has this calming way about her. We couldn’t have been less stressed over our international wedding of over 300 guests- we just knew Claire and her team had it under control.
It’s been just about 2 months now since our wedding and we are still getting texts, calls, and shouts from our guests that we run into that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. The best Craic. The best food (seriously- this was one of the things we heard the most. The food was UNBELIEVABLE). The nicest hotel rooms. It’s so nice hearing we chose a place that our guests were treated as well as the bride and the groom themselves were. We couldn’t believe how accommodating the hotel was to our party, not just on the day but the entire weekend we were there. Everyone was just SO kind and made you feel like royalty.
We truly can’t say enough great things about this place. My hope is that anyone reading this ends their wedding venue search here and gives Claire a ring and begins planning their big day with her and Knockranny- you will NOT regret it!

Claire was absolutely amazing and did everything to make the day fantastic for us. Everything was run fantastic. Thanks you so much. Only two things which I think was disappointing was reception. They made a number of mistakes with people's checkins. My cousin got charged which I was meant to be …

paying for as she was bridesmaid and I heard from a number of people that the reception experience was not good. The second thing was not all the drink we brought in was given out. A number of my uncle's were left without drink including Colm at one stage. Then I found out there was so much drink left over. I think it's a bad policy of the hotel not to give all the drink out as they want people to buy the drinks in the hotel. Two small things but overall an amazing hotel, excellent food and a wonderful wedding coordinator. Thanks you so much again

We had a family wedding at Knockranny House Hotel and Claire and her team created the most beautiful atmosphere well beyond anything we imagined. It was the perfect setting for our unique and personal wedding day.

We had the most perfect wedding at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. You couldn't ask for a better venue. The hotel itself is magnificent, with stunning gardens and an amazing view of Croagh Patrick - it really is the perfect backdrop for your wedding pictures.
We planned our wedding from Toronto, so …

didn't actually see Knockranny until the day before the wedding, and driving through the gates, I knew we had picked the right place.
Everything was amazing, no detail overlooked. The bridal suite was simply amazing, perfect to get ready in the morning of the wedding.
We had our wedding ceremony at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa and the ceremony room itself was beautiful, very elegant, as was the area where we had the drinks reception after.
Claire, the Wedding Coordinator at Knockranny is an absolute dream. I placed my trust in her completely. Because we were planning from abroad, I wanted someone I could rely on and Claire was certainly that, and more. I left a lot of the details to her and on the day she ensured everything ran smoothly. She is so organized and has thought of every single detail.
Our guests have all commented on the standard of food at our wedding, and I couldn't agree more. The food was outstanding and the service was second to none.
Overall, Knockranny House Hotel & Spa made our wedding day one we will never forget. If you are looking for a fantastic venue, with stunning views, outstanding food and service that is second to none, then look no further.

Knockranny was the perfect location for our wedding, I'm originally from Donegal and my husband from Dublin.. our 2 families joined together and enjoyed our special day in the west.
From the beginning of our wedding planning adventure Claire was amazing... any vision we had she made it a reality... …

she was so easy to work with and nothing was too much for her and her team to deal with.
her speedy responses when I emailed her with any queries was fantastic as soon as we arrived at the hotel on our wedding day we were pampered beyond belief.... every need was catered for.
the meal was outstanding and our guests were blown away with it...we honestly had the best day of our lives.
Thanks to Claire and her team at Knockranny who made it as stress free and enjoyable as possible....

After viewing so many venues and feeling like we were going to just “settle” for one of them, we visited Knockranny House Hotel and instantly knew this was our venue! It was beautiful inside and out. We met Claire the wedding coordinator and she was brilliant, we had no worries about our venue. …

Claire was so precise and had everything covered up to the small things that we would never have thought of! The hotel itself was pristine, the staff were brilliant, we couldn’t say enough about them, from our tasting night and the wedding night the waiting staff were just brilliant. The food was beautiful(always a big worry!) it was most defiantly a talking point of the wedding. Any small request we had was dealt with very quickly and efficiently! The rooms were beautiful and spacious! We can’t wait to be back again!

A sincere thank you to Claire, management & staff of Knockranny House Hotel. We had our wedding reception here on 27.4.19 and we honestly couldn't have picked a better venue for our special day.
From day one meeting Claire, we knew we were in safe hands. She advised and reassured us on any queries …

we had and was so efficient and prompt in replying to our emails. Claire was very professional, organised and helpful in all our dealings with her and this helped to put us at ease leading up to our big day.
The day ran smoothly, the food was delicious and the staff on the night were so polite and accommodating to everyone. A lot of our guests commented on the food & service being excellent. We couldn't have been any happier with Knockranny & their staff- such a beautiful and well managed venue.
We have very fond memories of Knockranny and can't wait to revisit for our 1 year Anniversary, if not sooner.

Knockranny House Hotel is the only venue in Mayo to have your reception! It is in such a wonderful town with a hive of activity around you and the hotel itself is so elegant and comfortable. We cannot say enough about the wedding co-ordinator Claire. She is the ultimate professional and nothing was …

an inconvenience. Her staff are wonderful and they were so pleasant to our guests. The food was fabulous and the guests raved about how much there was and how good it was. I am so glad we chose Knockranny, as did my sister, for our wedding venue. You can’t go wrong!

To Claire, Managament & Staff.
We can not thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts Claire. We had the dream wedding and yourself and the Knockranny team played a huge role in that. Everything i asked for was taken on board and you made it possible. I'm probably biased as it was my own wedding …

but I think it was out of this world. I only wish we could have been a guest ourselves it was just fantastic.
The service was 12/10 and the food was also 12/10. People still raving about the food and anyone who stayed can not get over the rooms.
Every single supplier was incredible. I mean I was just so lucky to have the team we had.
I hope the bar was made full use off and plenty money spent as it was well deserved. I heard from guests that the bar service was the best the ever saw, no waiting and no letting people skip the queue.
Again Thank you thank you thank you.
We will never forget how amazing you have been and the whole experience on Knockranny.

We had our wedding in Knockranny on the June Bank Holiday weekend and we can have absolutely no complaints. Claire, the wedding coordinator, was such an amazing help from Day 1 when we booked and she and the excellent staff ensured that all went smoothly on the day. The wedding ballroom is amazing …

and the compliments about the food have been never-ending since the meal was served. The rooms are fab and we booked the Penthouse Suite which is well worth the upgrade, There is no better place for a couple to have their wedding in Westport and it is one of the finest venues in the country.

Once we got engaged we only considered Knockranny as the destination for our wedding reception. While we had not attended a wedding at the venue, its reputation alone meant that it was top of our list. We had heard top class reviews about the food and also the wedding coordinator Claire. From our …

first encounter with Claire via email we were absolutely confident that there would not be one stone left unturned or one detail overlooked in planning our big day. Nothing was too big a problem or a request. We wished to make slight changes to the package on offer and this was facilitated with no difficulty whatsoever. We visited the hotel a number of times leading up to the wedding and the staff that we encountered were so friendly and welcoming. While there were one or two small issues with out menu tasting, these were all resolved and again, we were completely confident that everything would be perfect on the day.
While the hotel hosted a very large wedding the day before ours there was absolutely no problem with our visit to drop off various pieces for our day despite the fact the staff were incredibly busy at the time.
The big day itself surpassed every single expectation that we held. The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE and all of our guests commented. There was absolutely no shortage with many guests enjoying 'seconds'. We partied late into the night and enjoyed every second of the day. Although the hotel is a very popular one for weddings, we were still made to feel like ours was the only one they were planning and hosting. They really made us feel special for our weekend. While Knockranny may be considered a little more expensive than other venues in the locality, you most certainly get what you pay for. It is absolutely first class and I would love nothing more than to do it all over again. Thank you for everylasting memories and we look forward to visiting regularly in the years to come.

Thank you so much for everything you and the staff have done.
Our special day would not have been as amazing were it not for your hard work.

We wish we could give you some tips for improvement but we have nothing - you were all AMAZING - absolute perfection at its best.

Claire was a pleasure to deal with both in the planning stages and on the day itself. We wanted for nothing. She is an asset to the hotel she is amazing.

Claire is amazing - thank you for all your help in planning our wedding reception in June last - you went above and beyond for us. Nothing was too big or too small. We would highly recommend having your wedding at Knockranny especially when they have a gem like Claire to help.

Thank you for all of your help, support and guidance in the lead up to our Wedding Day. Thanks also to Claire for being there on the day making sure everything went according to plan...

really was magnificent! We recently received our professional photographs from our wedding and the decor of Knockranny House Hotel was spectacular in them.
Claire Concannon (the wedding co-ordinator) made organising one of the happiest days of our lives an extremely easy task. She was beyond superb and I cannot recommend her highly enough! No task or request was ever an issue and all our wishes were granted. The attention to detail was outstanding throughout. The service was 5 star! Thank you Claire and your team for such wonderful memories.

Knockranny House Hotel & Spa is a wonderful venue for a wedding. The hotel and facilities are excellent and the view over Westport, across Clew Bay and Croagh Patrick is simply stunning.

They do an excellent job in advance, facilitating and taking a lot of the hassle out of any specific …

arrangements for the day (Claire Concannon is excellent and tireless in her assistance and preparation). The staff had incredible attention to detail and the food was fantastic, however the biggest compliment we could pay, was how many of our guests complimented us on the venue after the event.

Obviously, you hope the day, the evening, everything goes well and all guests enjoy the wedding as a whole, and to get that many of our guests complimenting us on the venue (which is really down to the staff/venue) was really nice and confirmed to us we made the right choice.

deciding between a few different locations but we're so glad we went with knockranny in the end.
We live abroad so planning could have been extremely difficult if it weren't for Knockranny's wedding coordinator, Claire.

We were delighted to have our wedding at Knockranny House Hotel & Spa. Claire, the wedding coordinator has a fantastic reputation with those who have had their wedding at Knockranny and with vendors all over Ireland. Claire is extremely efficient, reliable, supportive and a pleasure to work with. …

Knockranny has a fantastic reputation for excellent food and we were thrilled with all aspects of our wedding meal. All of the staff in Knockranny are lovely to deal with throughout the planning process, on the wedding day itself and welcomed us back when we attended another wedding after our own. We chose to have our post wedding party in the cocktail lounge in Knockranny the night after our wedding which worked out perfectly. It was so easy to arrange and the staff pulled out all the stops to make this night another night to remember. Knockranny is a beautiful hotel and is the perfect place for a wedding reception. We look forward to returning to Knockranny for many more occasions in the future. Thank you to Claire and the staff of Knockranny House Hotel & Spa.

We had an absolutely amazing wedding reception at Knockranny House Hotel!
We initially looked at a couple of hotels as options, but once we arrived at Knockranny and had a look around and met the staff, we knew that Knockranny was really the only option for us.
From the beginning, Claire, the …

wedding coordinator, was so helpful and nice to deal with. We were organizing our wedding from Dubai, so having a coordinator that we could trust was really invaluable to us.
The location of the hotel was ideal. It is just outside of Westport which was nice for guests who wanted to venture in to the town the next day, but was not so close to town that our guests started to leave on the night of the wedding. On the wedding day, we were even able to go out at sunset and get some pictures of Clew Bay given that the hotel is in an ideal location for capturing the view.
I had quite a few props for the wedding. Thankfully, I just had to drop them at the hotel and tell Claire where I wanted them and how I wanted them to look. I was amazed on the day as to how accurately everything was put together; everything looked even better than I could have imagined.
Many of our guests commented that they had a fabulous experience. The food at the wedding was second to none; much more akin to a restaurant quality meal than what is usually provided at a large function such as a wedding. Not only was the food of high quality, but seconds and even thirds were offered. We also appreciated the layout of the hotel, in that, the arrival area for guests is at a private lounge area separate to the other hotel guests allowing for a very intimate and private event.
All in all, we were very pleased with our entire experience at Knockranny and are very much looking forward to returning for our one year anniversary.

Claire,

Thank you for all your help in preparation for our big day. You were always such a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks for everything.

Áine & Seán

I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since our wedding. The time has flown by. I'm sorry I've not had much of a chance to email you properly since our big day. Speaking of which.... we genuinely had the most amazing day and we owe a great deal of thanks to you and the wonderful team at …

Knockranney.

We are so grateful for your professionalism, kindness, expertise and efficiency in helping organise our wedding. You made the planning process seem easy and straightforward. I know there was lots on behind the scenes in helping create our ideal day. I cannot commend you highly enough and Knockranney are so lucky to have you as a valued member of staff. We originally viewed another hotel and thought we'd view Knockranney as a comparison though we thought our minds had been made up with the other hotel. Upon meeting you, you won us over and we are so glad we visited Knockranney that day.

Nothing was too much trouble. Every meeting we had with you was conducted so efficiently and your experience in the wedding industry is so apparent. You offered suggestions when we were looking for assistance in locating a supplier for draping, order of speeches, approximate number of prosecco bottles required, ideas regarding desserts, supplied canapes for bridal party upon arrival etc. etc. etc. I could go on! You literally thought of everything! Many people commended us on our organisation on the day but I kept referring to you and your wonderful team!

Mrs Corcoran was so kind to approach us and check in with us on the wedding day! We were so impressed to see her lead her waiting staff by example by assisting in serving our wedding party. It's not too often you see the owner so active and behind every good ship is a wonderful captain..... Thanks to the waiting staff who conducted the service so efficiently. Also, thanks to you all for coming out to the car on our arrival-all those subtle touches make the day extra special. You all really treated us so well and made us feel so valued.

To the chef.......the food was mouth watering! Not one complaint was brought to our attention! Instead, everyone we spoke with highly commended the food, how it was fresh, hot, plentiful and cooked so well. It can make/break a wedding day to have good/bad food and whilst we could rest assured the food would be of high standard in Knockranney, it was a big topic of discussion from our guests for all the right reasons. When people travel from near and far bringing gifts and cards Colin and I really wanted them to be looked after and we couldn't have asked for any more from you and your team.

It is with both fondness and sadness that I say goodbye to you! You've been a very important lady in our lives over the course of the last 13months and it's hard to believe the planning process has ended and gone so well. We will be forever grateful for your friendly smile, professional nature and approachability. We're only sorry we didn't get a quick snap with you on the day. I've said it before but Knockranney are so lucky to have you! We will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family who may wish to get married.

With every best wish and sincere gratitude,

not a problem and as a result, our big day was everything we had hoped. All of our guests were so impressed with the food on the day. At our pre dinner reception, the canapes were plentiful and tasty. All the courses were delicious and the waiting staff were on hand to offer more potatoes and more vegetables. Everyone was stuffed by the end! The whole evening ran so smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything. I could not recommend Knockranny highly enough for a wedding. Claire, her team and the management of the hotel were wonderful to work with and we are so thankful to them all.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in getting this email to you. We wanted to contact you to provide some feedback in relation to our amazing experience with the Knockranny House Hotel. We also wanted to let you know how you and your staff contributed to an unforgettable few days in Westport …

for both us and our guests as we celebrated our wedding in October of 2015.

First off we want to thank you personally for the attention, suggestions, re-assurance, calmness and level of professionalism you extended to us throughout the planning and execution of our big day. We were very thankful to have you as our “go to person” in relation to all our wedding queries and questions. You are without a doubt a huge asset to the Knockranny House Hotel and we truly believe without your involvement in our wedding, our experience would not have gone so smoothly. You were always willing to meet/communicate at short notice and your vast level of experience in relation to planning and execution of wedding matters shone through in abundance. For all of this we thank you most sincerely.

We have received tremendous compliments and praise from all of our guests in relation to the hotel. People were blown away by the pictures setting and location of the hotel, the friendly and efficient service of your staff, the quality and charm of the hotel rooms and its facilities, the quality and presentation of your food and the ambiance, character and comfort of your bars and restaurants. To put it simply – our guests loved their overall experience of the Knockranny House Hotel! I know some of our guests are already planning return trips to Westport and the Knockranny House Hotel features heavily in their plans.

Both Ruth and I were extremely happy with how the big day went off. We have no critiques, regrets or disappointments with our wedding reception. We will not be looking back in years to come wondering what if this or that had been done differently. It was perfect. It exceeded our high expectations. It could not have been better. This didn’t happen by accident – Our reception was the success it was because of the attention to detail the management and staff of the hotel delivered on the day. From the second we set foot in your hotel on our wedding day, we could not have asked for more. Both our guests and our wedding party were warmly received by the hotel staff with a genuine welcome. The reception room exuded an atmosphere of luxury and elegance thanks to the finishing touches applied by you and your team. Our meal was quite simply AMAZING. The quality of the food, the beautiful presentation and the efficient level of service were the high point of the day for us. Please extend our sincere appreciation and respect to all those who worked so hard to make our day the success and joy it was for us. We truly enjoyed our day and night of celebrations and for this we are most appreciative.

The Knockranny House Hotel will be synonymous with us for our wedding day memories forever more. As we celebrate each anniversary, we will cast our minds back to that great day and remember, with lots of fondness, our amazing wedding weekend. The staff of the Knockranny House Hotel made our Big Day more enjoyable than we could have wished for. We cannot recommend highly enough to others the overall experience we had of your hotel. Please pass our respect, appreciation and a huge THANK YOU on to the management and staff of the hotel for everything they did.
