Wedding Reviews for Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links

was such a blur I don’t think I got a chance to thank every member of staff for such a truly outstanding time. From the day we met Karen, she took such exceptional care of us. Paul made our day so seamless, several guests commented it was like a movie. Every member of staff we encountered was so professional, kind, and helpful. The hotel itself is so beautiful and immaculate, and the food... what do I say about the food? What a showcase for Irish produce and cuisine! I know guests say it all the time but so many people told us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. The beautiful weather certainly helped!

We’re so looking forward to seeing you all again next week.

Kerrie & Charlie Sivell (and our bridesmaid Nicole Redmond!)

wedding reception would be held there. The new meets old interior is done so well. The views are indescribable, the attention to detail is second to none and staff are so welcoming. We booked our wedding pretty quickly and from the start Karen was outstanding. No question went unanswered, she understood exactly what we wanted and went out of her way to make our day so special. Planning our wedding was very easy with Karen and we were never stressed.
On our wedding day my husband had stayed in the hotel the night before. He states that the hotel went out of their way that morning to make sure he was ok and prepared for the day. We had brought personal things to the wedding venue eg: sweets, favours etc and they had set everything up as we had asked.
Paul (the manager for the day) was exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure that not only we were ok and looked after but that all our guests were looked after too.
We had our pictures taken around the hotel and it’s grounds. You would be mad to go elsewhere.
From the food, drink and service everything was perfect.
All our guests raved about the hotel, their rooms, the staff, the food and the wedding itself. People were genuinely impressed with everything on the day.
If I was to live our wedding day over again I would pick the Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links again as I truly believe there is no better venue out there.
Thanks Karen, Paul and team for making our day absolutely amazing.

wedding and the day itself. It never felt overwhelming and it really reflected the atmosphere and personal feeling we were striving for. We'll definitely be back in the future.

Sincere Thanks,

We had a manager assigned to us on the day of our wedding called Ash. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day. If we needed anything all we had to do was raise our hand and he was there. The food was fabulous and it is such a beautiful hotel. We had such a wonderful day. A big thank you to Karen Hoff and Ash for their professionalism.

thought I was having a wobble, she would always put me at ease.
I know the hotel was very busy with weddings, back to back most weekends, but dealing with her was always a pleasure, never left waiting on an answer. It felt as if it was only our wedding she was dealing with.

I visited the hotel many times and it always blew me away with how beautiful it was. On the day of our wedding it was even more stunning, the autumn flower display in the reception was stunning.

When we arrived Ash helped me out of the car and Karen was there to greet us at the door. Seeing her friendly face put me right back at ease as I knew once I arrived the amazing staff at Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links had everything under control, which they did.

The day ran so smoothly and that was all down to the wonderful staff at the hotel. Karen and Ash I can't thank you enough. All our guests loved the hotel and I've been told so many times that it was the best wedding food they ever had.

Karen thanks so much for helping with our boys. The table plan display was another beautiful touch, thank you :) I could go on and on...

A million thank you's to you and all the amazing staff.

Laura & Rob

entire experience so easy. Every request we had was taken care of and carried out with such precision. The Moyne Suite took our breath away when we arrived on the day and our guests are still talking about the Secret Garden drinks reception. Everything aligned perfectly for us on the day, gorgeous weather, amazing scenery, unbelievable food and warm and friendly staff. I thoroughly recommend Portmarnock Hotel to all couples looking to get married. Thanks again Karen and team for making our day so special.

Thanks again,
Amy & Conor Higgins

different opportunities for wedding photos. We cannot recommend Marcella highly enough. As the wedding co ordinator she was juggling several weddings at once but always made us feel like we were the only couple getting married! The food was fab, the hotel was gorgeous and the staff were wonderful We had an amazing day. To anyone thinking of getting married in or having their reception in Portmarnock, you will not be disappointed. Best wishes to Marcella and the team! Mr. & Mrs. Tate xx

high standards run throughout the hotel. All the staff are very professional, efficient, welcoming, and eager to please all requests. The hotel is location on the beach so the views are just stunning and would make any wedding a dream come true.

venue for your big day!

Review submitted on Tue, 28th of November, 2017

beautiful location, Portmarnock Beach lies just in front of the hotel, the stunning lobby with it's beautiful light and floral display and the very friendly and efficient wedding coordinator Marcella McCann. Over the next months Marcella was always ready to help with any queries we had. She provided information quickly and no request was too much trouble. Andrew and I had chosen to have a small wedding and the menu was really important to us. Dining at the Portmarnock Hotel surpassed our expectations. We had a wonderful evening when we sampled the wedding menu, the food on was truly delicious. Afterwards our feedback was noted and all our requests met. We had a meeting with Marcella just under two weeks before the wedding to go through all the fine details of the day. We never felt hurried, the meeting was relaxed but very efficient and any concerns we had were all laid to rest. It made the run up to the day stress free and relaxed. On the 24th my mother, bridesmaid, sister-in-law and I visited the hotel to put final touches to the reception. We were met by Jonathan and several staff who were already preparing the room and they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. After our ceremony we were greeted by Marcella and Jonathan with prosecco and were cared for from that moment on. The prosecco and canapé reception was wonderful, our guests kept complimenting the food, the meal was perfect, with many guests saying they never had such delicious food. Our bridal suite, which was included in our package, as well as two other rooms, was luxurious with a spectacular view. This hotel is the PERFECT wedding venue! Thank you all so much, Andrew & Sara Smith.

able to ensure that all guests, adults and children, including the vegan bride were perfectly catered for. The venue itself had all the mix of olde world charm with cosy fires and plush comfortable relaxation areas set against modern sleek light-filled architecture for our welcome reception in the bar and terrace area. Our guests quickly felt at home. The gardens outside were ideal for our photos, being just a few short steps from the reception area. The room for our dinner was beautifully decorated with our complimentary colour co-ordinated seat covers and sashes - Marcella really pulled out the stops for us on every detail. Dinner service was so professional, yet relaxed and friendly - all our guests commented on how lovely the staff were and, equally importantly, just how good the food was. We partied long and hard into the night and had the space and privacy to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. It was great to meet up with everyone the next morning for breakfast and then walk the beach in the winter sunshine. We are left with such happy memories of our wonderful day in no small part to Marcella and her team, and we highly recommend this venue to any future couples.

few alergies and the hotel were more than happy to cater for her, which put my mine at ease as i worry about her getting sick. Marcella and Jonathon were there to greet myself and my husband when we arrived which was very reasuring to see their friendly faces. I couldnt recommend the hotel more. The only problem was it was over too quick. Wish we could do it all over again.

Review submitted on Mon, 6th of November, 2017

everything.
I cannot thank her enough for looking after us all before, during and after the wedding.
The venue itself is spectacular. Overlooking the Irish sea and world class links golf course.

We had so many options where to have the service. We chose the secret garden but had to have the ceremony inside due to the inclement weather. This did not stop the team having the option of the outside ceremony prepared. The ceremony was at 2.30 but unfortunately the rain came at 2.20. All the staff prepared both inside and out even though the weather was for rain. They really did their utmost to facilitate the outside service. This really showed how caring and diligent they were to look after us. All our guests had an amazing time.

The food was delicious and nothing was out of place. The service during the meal was spot on and not rushed like a lot of weddings I have attended. The links room which we chose was decorated beautifully.
The accommodation and bedrooms are beautiful ( especially the honeymoon suite ). It has a beautiful mix of old and new. They have built a spectacular new entrance to the hotel and the Jameson bar has this amazing feeling to it. Its like something from a old manor.
I would highly recommend this venue. The staff cannot do enough for you and this is evident from the moment you arrive.

to enquire, we found that the staff were polite, open to our ideas, happy to give advice based on experience and always available to respond to emails.

The hotel is beautifully decorated in creams, aquas and ocean blues. The style is fresh and modern and would make for beautiful wedding photos, no matter the weather. As it was, we were able to head out onto the dunes and get amazing photographs against an ocean backdrop.

Location-wise, my husband's family were travelling in from abroad, so PHGL was really easy to reach from the airport and the perfect combination of beach holiday and city break, as they could travel into Dublin city in 20 minutes or so.

I want to specifically mention the incredible personalised service we received around planning our reception meal: my husband and I both had serious dietary requirements, as did several of our guests. We were very concerned about tailoring the meal to make sure that everyone enjoyed it. When we raised this with Marcella, she arranged a phone call with the head chef, Tom, who took time out to speak to us for a good 10-15 minutes, finding out what we could and couldn't eat and making suggestions. He was able to cater for coeliac vegetarians, lactose-intolerant coeliacs, people with soya intolerances and more, without compromising on taste or originality. Everyone was delighted with the food and the pastry chef even whipped up a custom dessert for my husband that he is still raving about.

Through it all, we were made to feel that nothing was too much to ask and every time I met with Marcella, I felt as though I was sitting down with a friend. Kindness like that will never be forgotten.

and walked me through the hotel and I just knew I had to have it there. Especially since we had gotten engaged on the Portmarnock beach which the hotel overseas.
We had a great experience with Marcella, the wedding coordinator. She was just so pleasant and made everything so easy. Even as I planned a wedding from Boston, Marcella had all the angles covered in Ireland. We had a welcome party which was held at the hotel the day before the wedding, the ceremony and the wedding all at the hotel. The hotel did an amazing job of getting my decorations out, laying out the delicious food, coordinating the events and even controlling the open bar tab limit we had in place. I can say as a bride you worry about something going wrong but everything went smoothly. Marcella and the staff did an amazing job to provide us with the most perfect wedding weekend with all our friends and family coming from USA, Guatemala and Ireland. We were complemented on the beautiful hotel, the delicious food and the amazing views and location. It is the ideal place for a wedding and I highly recommend it!

Review submitted on Wed, 25th of October, 2017

really ticked all the boxes for us so we didn’t hesitate in putting a deposit down to secure our date. Our wedding co-ordinator Marcella was fabulous and so helpful, she was always at the end of the phone for any queries we had and always so helpful, her attention to detail and experience is 2nd to none. The wedding day itself was magical, we loved every minute & our guest raved about the hotel and the grounds. The food on the day was amazing, the staff couldn’t do enough for you – so helpful. The hotel manager Jonathon was brilliant would check in with us throughout the evening to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this hotel :)

friendly and yet so professional. We felt so relaxed the whole day and everything went like a dream.

All our guests are still talking about the hotel.Mainly the fabulous food, the beautiful function room and the tasteful bedrooms. The fab views of the sea and the golf course got a few mentions too.

We could not recommend the hotel and the staff highly enough for this well deserved award.

The meal was beautiful and many of the guests commented on the food and were very impressed with the drinks reception and evening food.

You were so lovely to deal with and never refused any of our requests. Thank you for all your hard work, advice and support in helping us plan our wedding. Thank you especially for all your help and support the five days leading up to the wedding. You made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. Well done you! We missed your smiling face on the day.

I will attach a photo. We have some fab photos taken in the hotel grounds.
Hope all is well with you, thank you again.

beautiful. The layout for for the wedding is perfect as we were in a section of the hotel that was quite private meaning other guests of the hotel were not constantly waking by. What made the wedding so great was the staff, from booking the hotel all the way to the day after the wedding they were so helpful and nice. All our guest really enjoyed and thought the venue was perfect. Marcella is brilliant

Review submitted on Mon, 2nd of October, 2017

see and feel at all times that everyone in the hotel is making the best for you and your guests to have the best time ever. We had the civil ceremony in a room, reception in another and then the dinner and dance in another room. Everything looked beautiful and the flow was perfect and meant guests could relax and not need to go anywhere. Everything provided by the hotel was great standard. I also had lots of details to put in the room in terms of decoration and favours, I left it with the hotel management 2 days before the wedding and everything was put into place as per expectations.
We also had a BBQ in the secret garden the day after, which is a lovely touch to make the wedding longer and spend more time with your friends and family specially if you have people coming from abroad.
So all around it is a perfect wedding venue, it covers whatever you want your day to be, We are very happy.
Above everything, I want to point out Marcella, our wedding organizer. She is AMAZING. You can fully trust that all will go as you want, she goes above and beyond to ensure you have a fabulous stress free day and that you can enjoy the day. THANKS SO MUCH Marcella and all Portmarnock Hotel.

with the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the day and their stay. We had a beautiful sunny day and were lucky enough to be able to have our drinks reception outside in the secret garden which was such a treat and our guests absolutely loved it! The day ran so smoothly, the food was fabulous and the staff were amazingly helpful and so pleasant.
Marcella was our wedding co ordinator and was just brilliant, she was so lovely and her enthusiasm at every stage of the planning and on the day made it feel like we had a close friend helping us with the organising. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Her colleague Jonathan was equally helpful and attentive throughout the evening and at our BBQ the next day, nothing was too much trouble. We were highly impressed by all the staff in the hotel and at the Jameson bar, they were so helpful and pleasant and worked so hard to ensure our day ran like clockwork. We had a fantastic day, it was just perfect. We are already looking forward to returning for our first wedding anniversary next June.
A huge thank you to all the team at the hotel.

dedcication in Portmarnock! The day went smoothly from start to finish. The secret garden was a major hit with all the guests. Many said they have never been at a wedding like it, and it had the feel of being in an exclusive sunny holiday setting. The choice of beers, prosecco and the lemonades (thanks again for replacing!) went down well, and we have received many compliments that it really made the reception! The setting and food have also received the highest compliments. Many guests have said the dinner was of such a high standard that They had never had such a high quality a meal out in a restaurant, let alone at a wedding catering for 120 guests! We both agreed our meal was of an exceptional standard and enjoyed in throughly! My uncle went as far as to say that other exclusive hotels in cork (clonakilty area!) that he had said couldn't be beaten before, were nothing in comparison to the food and atmosphere he experienced on the night - and this uncle tells it as it is! I cannot commend the staff highly enough for their dedication, professionalism and warmness on the day. Everything happened quietly in the background, but staff were there if guests needed. We also stated 2 nights in the hotel which was a huge treat. The room, breakfast and food in the Jameson bar could not be faulted!again the staff couldn't have made more of an effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Marcella, I must thank you for all your help and time in planning the big day - I know I had a million questions so thank you for your time and patience! We must also give a huge thank you to Jonathon for going out of his way to ensure we had the day of our dreams. He couldn't have done anymore for us. Thank you Jonathon for all that you did. You have an excellent manner and put us both at ease through out the day. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Lorraine also deserves a big thank you. From holding my bag to making sure I got a drink after the photos, Lorraine was always there somewhere in the background, stepping in when needed without even having to ask! Her warm friendly manner really helped us to relax and enjoy the day. I have to say, our weddding day completely exceeded our expectations - and that is down to the staff of your hotel. We really had our dream day and couldn't have asked for more. We cannot thank you enough! We plan to make many visits back for an evening meal, family occasions and maybe a drink or two! We know many friends and family also plan a return visit! My uncle who missed the wedding due to back problem plans to return with his wife when he is recovered in autumn!
We cannot thank you enough and will be writing glowing reviews as requested. Feel free to quote us at any time!

Warmest regards and heartfelt thanks,
Helen and Andrew Penlerick

Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links is customer service personified. The menu is reasonably priced and the food produced by the chef is of the highest quality and standard. If your guests are travelling and wish to stay in the hotel they will enjoy the oversized rooms again reasonably priced with views of Howth, Ireland’s Eye and the surrounding golf course. Thumbs up to the Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links for making our day everything a newly married couple would wish and hope could happen on their special day.

our wedding we worked closely with Marcella to organise all the final details leading up to the big day. On the day itself everything ran like clockwork. The transition from one part of the day to the next ran like clockwork leaving myself and my husband free to chat and get photos and not worry about a thing.
The food on the day was absolutely delicious. We had done a tasting session back in December which we thoroughly enjoyed but I think the food was even nicer on the day itself and many people commented on how delicious it was. Even the finger food later on in the night was devoured!
The night before the wedding I stay in the hotel with my bridesmaid. Upon check in we were told we had been upgraded to a family room. The room was absolutely breath taking with a perfect sea view. They had left us a box of chocolates too.
The honeymoon suite was also gorgeous just wish we had more time to spend in it! We were given a bottle of champagne and chocolates too.
I cannot fault the hotel in any way. Every member of staff I dealt with were so helpful to both myself and my husband as well as all our guests.
There is a lovely atmosphere in the hotel, it has been beautifully renovated and the food is delicious. What's not to love! I just hope another one of my friends gets married here so we can experience it all again.
Thank you so much to all the team there

were wowed. The 'secret garden' and sandy path to the beach were all gorgeous locations for our wedding photographs and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our wedding reception room was beautiful and intimate and the wedding meal - every course was sublime! Our guests who travelled from far and wide, were super impressed with every aspect of the hotel and partied hard until the wee small hours..... A special mention must go to the friendly and courteous waiting and bar staff - not forgetting the chef - who were all exceptional. Again thank you Karen, Paul, David and the team who gave us all a wedding day to remember.

actually realised that the most perfect venue was right on our doorstep (Phil is from Portmarnock and I’m from Swords). We were blessed with the weather on the day, so we got to make use of the lovely grounds for photos (Secret Garden, putting green(!)). All of our guests had a ball and thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the ones that had travelled from further afield (America/UK) got to enjoy the beach over the weekend and availed of the newly refurbished rooms in the hotel. We really enjoyed chilling out on the terrace the next day with some close family and friends, winding down with a beer and some lovely food. All of the staff treated us like royalty over the weekend while we were staying there and would thoroughly recommend any couple to book their wedding here. Top notch!

we had imagined it. She's so organised and so friendly to deal with.

Praveen made the menu tasting a great experience and made us so excited for the wedding.
Paul on the day was like a guardian angel in the background and made sure everything ran like clockwork. We were so proud to have our wedding in Portmarnock Golf Links as we knew the guests would be treated to amazing food, lovely staff and gorgeous rooms. In your hotel, there are no corners cut, and no expense spared on the run up to a couple's day, and the hotel really help a couple feel very special while planning a wedding.

Also, a huge thank you to the bar staff for looking after us so well the next day and organising delicious finger food for 30plus people. We had a beautiful meal and spent a lovely night there on New Years. I cannot recommend The Portmarnock Golf Links enough to anyone getting married, and wish we could do it all again.

Thank you to all for making our sea themed wedding exactly what we imagined.

See you soon,

families, and all our friends. I trust Ludmila or Karen can share this wee note with you all.

We had a great time of course, and enjoyed the meal immensely. It was so great that we could celebrate with our loved ones while everything "just worked" around us!
We've had many compliments from our guests on the food and helpful service throughout, and will definitely be recommending the venue to all. From the start, Ludmila and Karen were a huge help in getting everything organised, and we are ever grateful for that. We'll definitely drop in next time we're in the area for lunch!

All the best, and many thanks,

of our guests were travelling from Scotland so they had booked in for the weekend. Everyone had a fantastic experience with many saying they'd return to the hotel for a weekend away. Thanks again for all your help. We had the best day of our lives and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to book their wedding venue.

night and commented on the rooms being so comfortable and modern. Breakfast the next day was great too! The hotel staff are friendly and attentive and from the day we booked our wedding, we were made to feel so welcome. I personally love the decor and feel of the hotel and I am looking forward to our next trip. We wish we could relive the day and have so many fond memories. Thank you to Sandra, Karen and Geraldine in particular.

Love,
Mr & Mrs Davis

and organisation. All my guests were blown away by the hotel, the service and everything about the wedding. Everyone commented on how relaxed myself and Martin were on the day and how we didnt stop smiling. That was down to yourself and all the staff ensuring the place looked amazing and there were no hitches, so thank you. Please thank Rhys, Geraldine and all the staff on the day, they were amazing!!

Thank you again,

Cathy

Very kind regards,

and we certainly had the beautiful facilities and thoughtfulness of all of the hotel staff on the day to thank for this.
The junior members of our wedding party (and their parents) loved the special attention they received from the waiting staff...and the manager of the Jameson bar certainly made an extremely positive imprint on the memories of all our guests for his humorous banter! But in particular, we both wanted to thank you personally Karen for being present in advance of the ceremony ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently.

We are so pleased we booked Portmarnock Hotel as it truly was the ideal venue for our civil ceremony and wedding celebrations. Thank you all for helping to make our special day so memorable!

Our best wishes,
Mr & Mrs Jennings

mention must go to the wedding organiser Ludmilla Murasova, who guided us artfully through the whole preparation with gentle subtlety. All our guests had a wonderful time and loved the day. We cannot recommend this hotel more as a wedding venue. Thank you so much to all at the Portmarnock Hotel and Golf links

was fantastic; we were extremely well looked after, as were all our guests. We would like to thank Ludmila for her wonderful organization of the day and Rhys for his looking after us on the day.

Thanks,

completely hassle free for us and allowed us to enjoy the build up to the wedding stress free, known that the hotel had everything under control. I can't thank Ludmila (the wedding co-ordinator) enough. She is fabulous at her job and takes all the stress out of the organising for you, so everything runs smoothly. The managers Sandra, Paul and Rhys who were always there on the day, treating us and our family and friends like royality. All of my guests are still talking about how good the food and service was on the day. The wine was flowing and everyone was offered seconds for dinner. All of the suppliers they used are amazing to deal with from the beautiful flowers, amazing photographer, the classy car, cake & music. I couldn't have chosen any better myself. I can not thank you all enough for making our day so perfect!

Thank you all!

Kind Regards,
Samantha and Derek Moore

attention to all guests requirements was exemplary. This was altogether an outstanding performance by all personnel much more so in the light that it was such a special weekend in that extra stress was placed on the dynamic of the hotel with the International football team being in residence.

I will recommend the hotel to all & sundry both in a business & personal capacity into the future.

Again many thanks on behalf of my family.
