Myself and my wife Jess and such an incredible time having our wedding with you.

I could not speak highly enough about how excellent Dhriti was at helping us organize the big day. She was so generous with her time and accommodating of anything we wanted. It was so reassuring having her available …

in the run up to the wedding and especially on the day itself. I would recommend her to anyone planning their wedding without hesitation.

We started planning our wedding at the start of 2023 and from start to finish we had the most amazing experience. That was all down to Dhriti. She did such a good job and is so accommodating. She met with us regularly and was always willing to answer any questions.

We were supposed to be married …

in 2025 and then after a few months of planning, we moved the wedding up by 10 months. The hotel and Dhriti were so happy to accommodate us and gave us a list of available dates to choose from. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us plan our big day, a day we will never forget.

It was truly amazing and we would recommend the venue to anyone who was getting married it was truly a magical day!

Thank you so much Dhriti for giving us a 5-star service. From the start of our wedding preparations to the finished event, Dhriti was always there to guide and help us.
The Royal Marine Hotel is the best place for a wedding because it's great value for money. We are very satisfied and happy that we …

chose the Royal Marine Hotel as our wedding venue.

Review submitted on Mon, 23rd of September, 2024

The best day of our life at the best venue with the best service.

We got married in May this year and choosing The Royal Marine was the best decision for us. We had a multi-cultural wedding and from the start, we were quite stressed about bringing out both cultures but Dhriti made it all seem so …

easy. The Royal Marine was so accommodating and supportive throughout the entire process. We have heard so many nightmarish stories about venues or wedding coordinators not responding to couples but Dhriti was so on top of everything. We would get responses within a day. We would recommend The Royal Marine to every couple looking to get married in Dublin. It’s the most beautiful venue right by the sea.

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Royal Marine Hotel, and it was nothing short of perfect from start to finish. We hosted our entire wedding here, including the welcome drinks the night before, the ceremony, and the reception, and every aspect of the experience was beyond exceptional.

The …

staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and accommodating. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly looked after. Special mention to our wedding coordinator, Dhriti, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. Her expertise, organization, and calm demeanor helped make our day stress-free.

The venue itself is stunning. The hotel’s seamless transition between transforming the function room to our dinner reception allowed everything to flow perfectly. We also had the convenience of getting ready in one of the gorgeous rooms that morning, which made the whole day feel relaxed and special.

The Royal Marine Hotel delivered in every way possible – from the beautiful decor to the exceptional service. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day and would highly recommend it to any couple planning their wedding!

We had our wedding at The Royal Marine Hotel in Dublin, and it was just fab! From the first planning chat to the last dance, everything went so smoothly, and we owe a huge thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator, Dhriti Goyal. Dhriti was an absolute star from day one. She was so professional, …

super detail-oriented, and just lovely to work with. We were a bit clueless about what to expect, but she held our hand through the whole process. Her expertise and friendly nature really took the stress out of planning, and we actually enjoyed it! The Royal Marine Hotel itself is stunning. Overlooking the Irish Sea, the views are simply gorgeous. The location really added that romantic touch to our big day. The hotel has this old-world charm and elegance, with beautifully decorated rooms and lovely garden spaces. The staff at The Royal Marine were brilliant. Everyone went out of their way to make sure our day was perfect. Their warmth and hospitality made us and our guests feel so welcome. The service was spot on, and they took care of everything with a smile. And the little extras? They were just the icing on the cake! We got a 6-month gym membership with pool and spa access, and they even gave us a free night on our one-year anniversary. Plus, the pamper package with a massage and mud bath each was such a treat. Not to mention the coffee and biscuits at every meeting – it’s the little things that make the difference! In the end, our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to the beautiful location, the wonderful staff, and the fantastic support from Dhriti.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting or a more wonderful team to help us celebrate our love. If you’re thinking about The Royal Marine Hotel for your wedding, we’d wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s an experience we'll cherish forever.

Dhriti and her team did so much to help us before, during, and after the wedding. On the day, everything went smoothly thanks to their professionalism and efficiency. A huge thank you and Bravo to Dhriti, who always guided us, reassured us and helped us in all possible ways.
Also, the Royal Marine …

Hotel was welcoming to all our guests and is a wonderful venue to have a wedding.

We have only amazing things to say about our experience at the Royal Marine.

Our wedding day was magic, the hotel was beautiful, but we really want to thank the staff that made it all happen.

Nothing was too much, Dhriti was so professional, kind and an amazing support on the day. Jeff was …

'the man' when it came to helping us pick our meal, plan the seating, his experience is priceless, and as for Healey, she couldn't have done more for us, she didn't miss a beat.

All the staff on the day were just wonderful, so we really want to say a huge thank you to you all.

We would and will highly recommend the Royal Marine for future events.

Warm regards,

Donatella and Garrett

We had our wedding reception at the Royal Marine Hotel after having our service at the Maritime Museum. From the start of the planning right through to the last days of collecting decorations, the staff helped us with the utmost respect and kindness.
Dhriti was our wedding planner, and she was …

always very communicative and helpful with every question we had, giving us sound advice and making sure the day went off without any issues. On the day, she was so great at getting guests to where they needed to be, as well as calming me and my husband after all the emotions of the service.
Additionally, Hayley at reservations helped immensely with room organisation. We had a few overseas guests, and she was more than accommodating to those who needed rooms on the night of the wedding. She went above and beyond, and we were so grateful.
Finally, Malcolm was an exceptional host during the evening of the wedding, helping us with every request our hearts desired. He was so kind and generous with his time, and we could not be more thankful.
All the staff, from the planning to reservations, security to management, we and our guests really felt welcomed and part of the Royal Marine family.
The food was also delightful and plentiful, and guests never felt that they were underfed. The treats were very tasty, and presented very neatly so thank you to the kitchen staff.
The night catered by the Royal Marine made me and my husband feel like we were royalty, and it is sure to be one of our best memories ever, thanks to the kindness, support and generosity of the hotel.

Thanks for your help with everything leading up and for your patience from the beginning as we were making up our mind. It all went great on the day, I know I at least was trusting that some of the details will go fine on the day and it really did, Dhriti really was a super help all the way through …

the day, she radiates calmness and kept us on track. And Malcolm too in the evening - we had met him at the tasting and he is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Please pass on our thanks to both in particular but also all the other staff who were brilliant.

We had the most wonderful wedding experience at the Royal Marine Hotel. We are based in London and had family and friends traveling over from the U.S., UK and Ireland so we really wanted somewhere that highlighted Irish charm and hospitality. We cannot believe how many guests have commented to us …

that we absolutely chose the best venue for our wedding. The hotel itself is so beautiful and we loved being able to have a view of the seafront during our reception. The staff at the Royal Marine Hotel were incredibly helpful in making sure everything went to plan and every detail was considered beforehand, especially as we were not local to the area. All of our wedding stress disappeared when we arrived because we were in such good hands and my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a thing! In particular, Jeff, Malcolm, and Dhriti went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests were looked after, not just on the wedding day itself, but the whole weekend! The Royal Marine Hotel holds a very special place in our hearts now and we cannot wait to visit again!

Excellent experience. Dhitri and Jeff were on hand at all times. Last minute requests were catered for. Honeymoon suite is fabulous. All our guests had a great time. Food and service from restaurant staff was amazing.

Myself and my wife celebrated our wedding in the Royal Marine hotel. It was a magnificent and magical day that we will both remember always.
The staff and management and our wedding co-ordinator Dhriti were absolutely magnificent. They made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day and could …

not have been more helpful. They were extremely professional but also warm and welcoming.
The layout of both the ceremony room and the wedding reception area was perfect.
Catering for our guests who had specific dietary needs was no problem at all.
We always knew that we would be in good hands with the Royal Marine but they far exceeded our expectations. We have no hesitation in recommending the Royal Marine hotel to anyone who is seeking the perfect venue for their wedding.

Our wedding reception at the Royal Marine Hotel was more than we could have hoped for. All the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make it a fantastic day. In particular, Dhriti and her team were attentive to every detail. We live abroad and organised the wedding remotely but …

this posed no difficulty due to the fact that the team were available for phone calls or video calls any time we needed guidance. Hayley and the reservation team were very efficient. The Royal Marine Hotel is a beautiful venue and our guests from abroad and Ireland were very impressed with both the hotel and its surroundings. The food and service on the night were excellent thanks to Jeff, the floor manager, Alicia, and the rest of the staff. Everything went very smoothly on the day but we had two stressful moments regarding the flowers and the dress (due to our own negligence) which Dhriti and the team solved immediately. We were extremely grateful for their help. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Royal Marine Hotel to any couple looking for a venue for their celebration. It was a wonderful day and our guests have all told us how much they enjoyed it.

Alex and I sincerely recommend the Royal Marine hotel for any stay or wedding.

We are completely blown away by how amazing everyone has been here - You, Istvan and teams, the chef, Hayley for giving everyone such great rooms, the ladies cleaning our room (especially the blonde girl, I didn't catch her name), the reception team, Liga and the breakfast team, everyone in Hardy's …

bar and bar staff on the night of the wedding, I could go on... Our day and week has been just so perfect.

We could write a book about all the little things on the day and during the week that we loved and it was all down to you and the staff in the hotel... Our families had the most amazing amazing time - they too were blown away by how well organised the day was and how much they enjoyed themselves.

Eurojee and I wanted to express how grateful we are on what happened during our wedding day. I personally set my expectations a lil bit low and was ready for anything to happen only because I was overwhelmed with the wedding preparations and I find it so stressful. Long story short it was the …

opposite of what happened on our wedding day. We both felt that our wedding day was perfect, magical and definitely magnificent in every possible way. We are truly grateful and appreciate all the people behind the event. All our guests and families were amazed of the venue, scrumptious food and drinks, kindness of the staff. We all enjoyed everything that day that we kind of set a standard and our guests wished they could have the same party for their son/daughters wedding. Once again we sincerely thank Daphne, for organising the event, Mr. Aidan Ryan, Mr. Colin Brown, Chef Karl, Mr. Roy, Mr. Istvan and the entire staff of Royal Marine Hotel for coordinating our wedding. We won't forget you guys and will definitely recommend Royal Marine Hotel to our friends and other future grooms and brides.

We had an absolutely amazing day! Our planning had started back in September, and the communication we received was brilliant. Over the next few weeks, we went up to visit the hotel twice and were treated so well each time. Even though our wedding was quite small, we were always made to feel like …

their number one priority.

From the drinks reception to dinner, to accommodation, no small detail was left untouched, and all
our queries were answered quickly and efficiently.
As for the day itself, it was better than I think we had both anticipated, and the staff were
brilliant throughout the whole day. We could not have been happier, and the 3 nights we spent
afterwards staying in the hotel were magic.

They really worked hard to make our day feel individual and put so much effort into discussing things and making sure it all came together so well. I was extra impressed to be …

allowed in to help set up the room the day before making me feel more relaxed knowing everything was done. Our guests all complimented the service from the staff and also the delicious food and I was amazed at how beautiful the flower centerpieces were. We had a lot of guests from abroad who mostly stayed in the hotel and loved it especially the beautiful views of Dun Laoghaire which also looked great in our wedding photos! Thank you to all at the Royal Marine Hotel.

We had an absolutely amazing wedding day and weekend. From beginning to end we could not fault one thing. The room looked amazing thanks to Danka and the staff. John was just a dream to work with. Andrew and Paul from the Thursday evening until I came back to collect my car was just absolutely …

amazing and Niall, everyone kept talking about how friendly and helpful and kind he was. I did not catch the bar man from the Saturday's name but he was so lovely and the lads had a laugh with him.

All of our guests have made comments on the hotel and the staff and said they would recommend it to anyone as they just had such an amazing time.. The Germans loved Paul by the way.

Both Mark and I have agreed that the Royal Marine is not just where we had our wedding is but is like another home and that is down to yourself and the staff. We hope to come down over the next few weeks and take the staff up on their word to visit.

We would like to make senior management at the hotel, or hotel group, aware of how happy we were with our wedding at The Royal Marine on Saturday.

always had a welcome for us when visiting the hotel as we were preparing for our big day. Ashleigh McDonald was our event coordinator; she was professional and helpful to us as we prepared for our wedding. She was on hand whenever we needed her and it was a pleasure to work with her. John O Grady, C & B manager was with us throughout the evening of our wedding, checking in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Hayley and Leila in reservations were excellent to work with also. We had a lot of guests travelling from abroad with a variety of needs and requirements, all of which were accommodated for by the reservations team. Any issues we had with had with bookings or rooms were quickly dealt with by Hayley and Leila and all of our guests were very happy with their stay. We would highly recommend the hotel as a wedding venue and wish we could do it all again!

Our wedding day on the 29th June could not have been better.

The weather on the day was probably the best seen in Ireland for many years, so that's a good start.

The wedding service was held in the Maritime Museum and within a short walk to the Royal Marine.

After checking in with John and …

Alma on the day, all the plans that had been promised were in place.

Being nearly 29/30c on the day it was great to have the benches outside the hotel where the guests could enjoy a drink outdoors and enjoy the sunshine.

The musician's stage was set up as planned and we were able to say a few words before the meal.

The meal on the day was exactly as we had requested and the service and quality of the food was of the highest quality. All wine glasses were topped up regularly and guests received "second helpings".

We enjoyed a late night and the bar staff were very helpful.

The Bridal Suite was situated at the front of the house with fantastic sea views, and we enjoyed the comfort of the extra space and luxury.

The breakfast next morning was really good. Both the quality and service. Many guests had commented on this.

Overall, we had a fantastic day and would have no problem recommending " The Royal Marine " as a venue to any future marriage prospects.

Many thanks to John for his attention on the day, and Alma for her attention to the finer points which made the day possible.

From the very first time we visited the Royal Marine Hotel, to the day after our wedding 18 months later, our experience has been nothing short of exceptional and we couldn't recommend the team highly enough! Our initial meeting was with Aidan who went above and beyond to make us feel special. What …

really struck us was that, on that day, he met another couple who had been married in the hotel a few months previously and knew them by name. It showed how well he and his team care about their couples - we weren't just a number!

We were looked after by Elaine during the planning stages and on the day, and no request was too troublesome for her and her team. The day itself was just magical, and we have to give a special shout out to Peter who ensured the reception ran smoothly and catered to our every need. Our family and friends raved about the hotel, the food and the service we received both on our wedding day and the next day at our coffee and cake event. One relative said the food was the best she had ever tasted at a wedding, and another guest who is an executive head chef by profession was very impressed by the menu and the quality of the food.

On the day after the wedding, we stayed on an extra night and had dinner in the restaurant, and were so impressed by the attention given to us that evening.

Overall, we would highly recommend the Royal Marine Hotel to any couples planning their wedding. You won't be disappointed!

Food was lovely and very enjoyable, between the wedding meal, evening food and our second day bbq everyone had full bellies.

We can not recommend the Royal Marine highly enough. Our coordinator Alma went above and beyond to give us the perfect day with absolutely no ask too big or too small. She worked tirelessly to understand our needs and was an amazing communicator which was crucial as we were planning our wedding from …

California.

She thought of absolutely everything so we didn’t have to and we knew from our first meeting that we were in the hands of a professional.

On the day, everything went absolutely to plan and the food, decor and venue were all perfect thanks to Alma. We never thought it would be possible to enjoy our day so much but knowing things were in such good hands we could relax and enjoy every minute!

I cannot say enough great things about the Royal Marine Hotel! From the planning(less than 3 months out from our wedding date, our previous venue fell apart) to the reception, Alma was amazing! She was one of the few planners who asked us questions and gave us direction. The venue was magnificent …

and food was amazing. Our service was fantastic and our guests had a ball! My only recommendation is to make sure you have the details for your bar services (especially those coming from the states) as cocktails are served & priced differently.

Couldn't recommend this hotel enough. Our wedding co-ordinator Alma was amazing, answered all our questions straight away and couldn't do enough for us nothing was too much to ask. On the day of the wedding the room was beautifully set up and the view over the harbour was amazing. All the staff were …

so helpful and friendly to us and our guests throughout the whole weekend that we were there. The food was gorgeous and they were more than happy to cater for our guests who were vegetarian or coelic. Everything was perfect.

Hi Alma,

How are you?

I just wanted to drop you a line about our fab day – to say thank you so much for our wonderful wedding celebration at the Royal Marine Hotel. You and the team couldn’t have worked harder for us or been more attentive and professional than you all were.

You …

were an absolute pleasure to work with from day one, Alma, and from the moment we walked into the hotel (in a slight state of panic last year!), met Eusebio, and he graciously showed us around, we knew that the Royal Marine was the place for us.

Our guests are full of praise for the Royal Marine – everything from the Arrivals Reception, staff and the meal to their rooms and breakfast the following morning has received praise. And I would very much like to thank the waiter who looked after my young nephews at the top table – he made them feel very special!

On a personal note, the beautiful Dublin Crystal glasses left in our room and the note along with them was a lovely touch and such a surprise! We will certainly treasure those glasses.

Robbie and I couldn’t have had a happier wedding day and the Royal Marine was everything we had hoped for: elegant with efficient and discreet staff, which filled us with confidence and made our entire reception so relaxed and joyful.

All the best for the future, Alma, and we will certainly be back to the Royal Marine soon!

Kind regards,

Robbie & Shirley.

Thank you so much to Alma and all the staff of the Royal Marine for making our wedding day so special! The day was fantastic, the staff were amazing, the food was delicious, the reception room was perfection, and everybody had a brilliant time! Throughout the planning stages, Alma was always so …

helpful and easy to deal with, really listened to your queries and took the time to understand what we wanted and was always really prompt getting back to you. I felt very confident from the start that we were in good hands and could relax. The day itself was just amazing, and even better than I could imagine, and that is in large part because of the wonderful staff of the Royal Marine who looked after us and all our guests so well. We even found a beautiful surprise gift of engraved flutes from the hotel in our bridal suite which was such a lovely touch and very indicative of the high quality of service we received at the Royal Marine. Thank you!

Dear Alma,

on behalf of Lucia and I, we want to drop you an email to express our appreciation of the work done by the staff of the Royal Marine Hotel on our wedding day, Saturday 3rd September 2016.

It is normal and expected for guests to thank the Bride and Groom for a lovely day and to say …

the meal was nice. However our guests have gone way beyond that in their praise for the Royal Marine Hotel and the staff there. More than one guest said the word to describe the day was "class". Other guests said "we had too much to eat". That is a good complaint you will agree!

Both Lucy and I had the steak, as did a lot of the guests. Please express our compliments and appreciation to Chef for providing such succulent and tender beef. It was "melt in your mouth", it was so tender. The presentation of the steak by the staff at our table was impressive. They made a nice impression by lifting off the plate covers at the same time.

The Duty Manager was always there to guide me back to my table for the next course after I went "wandering" between courses to speak with our guests. He did a great job and we appreciate that.

The service staff were always smiling and very pleasant. The food was delivered on time and thankfully there was no long wait between courses. The staff did a great job and please express our appreciation to them. They see weddings every week, but for us it was once in a lifetime and so important to us that the staff appreciated that.

When we got to our wedding suite in the early hours, we were surprised to receive a beautiful gift from the hotel of a pair of engraved champagne flutes. That was really a nice surprise. Thank you.

Finally and not least, we want to thank you Alma for your patience and kindness to us. You were always there either in person or at the end of the line when we needed you. Your advice to us was inestimable. You guided us on times, on food, and when we might have gone overboard on preparations. You were our Angel

Hi Maeve,

I hope all is well with you and you had a lovely weekend.

I honestly don't think Trevor and I can thank you all enough for everything you have done for us over the past few months. We had the most incredible day and night of our lives and that is largely down to you and all that you …

have done and made possible. From the day we first met with you everything has been so easy for us. All elements of the planning process were handled by you and any questions or queries we had were never too much trouble and you were always so quick to get back to us. Thank you for all the suggestions and help you gave us along the way. You were just amazing to us.

On the day itself everything ran so perfectly, from the drinks and canapés reception to the dinner and on to the entertainment. Our guests are still raving about the food and drink and the room was stunning. I can't think of a more perfect setting for our day.

Please send on our thanks to all the staff that helped out on the day. The service was amazing and all the staff were brilliant.

Please also send on a huge thank you to Paul. He was amazing and kept everything running so smoothly.

We absolutely love the Dublin Crystal Champagne Flutes with our wedding date on it. It is so lovely to have something from you all to commemorate our day.

Please let us know if there is anything more you need from us.

Thank you so much again.

Michelle and Trevor

Hi Maeve

Only getting in touch with you now...Just about getting back to reality after a hectic few weeks.

We just both wanted to say thank you so much for all the organisation and planning that you and the team did to make our day so special. We had an absolute ball and all the guests really …

enjoyed themselves. Everyone in the hotel was fantastic and the day went really smoothly.

We have very happy memories of our wedding day and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Royal Marine to anyone considering hosting their wedding day celebrations.

Hi Maeve,

I just wanted to thank yourself, Phil & Paul for all you hard work to bring our BIG day together.

I don’t think any words I write could ever do enough justice to how amazing the Royal Marine was for Our Wedding. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests on the venue, the staff and fabulous food, music to our ears after the all the planning and preparation. Maeve, the Wedding …

Coordinator, is so accommodating and helpful and made organising Our Day so much easier and enjoyable. On the day itself Paul, the Operations Manager, was Top Class and left no stone unturned to ensure everything ran smoothly and we had nothing to worry about. Everything was perfect and ran like clockwork so a million and one thanks to the Team at the Royal Marine for making our day so special and unforgettable, not only for us but for our guests too.

I am writing to send you a 'Big Thank You'. We really appreciate your assistance in setting up and organizing our wedding within the last five months. We were all very satisified with the wedding arrangements and we will keep you always in very good memories.

Unfortunately I could not thank you …

personally in the way I expected to do. I was trying to get hold of you during our wedding weekend and to personally communicate your appreciation.

Alexandra and me consider to spend some days in Dublin next year and to revisit The Royal Marine where you put on such a special day for us. We hope to see you in person during this time!!

Also, we would like to wish you all the best for your own wedding and to send you and your future husband our WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS!!

We had our wedding at the Royal Marine Hotel on the 26th September & it was a wonderful experience. From start to finish, the team at the hotel couldn't do enough for us. Everything that we asked for was taken on board. As for the day itself, it was run so well. The food was fabulous & the room …

The Royal Marine Hotel surpassed all our expectations for our August 2015 wedding. Having looked at a number of venues our immediate reaction when we walked into the Royal Marine was that it was full of charm and was exactly what we wanted to share with our guests. Maeve, our wedding coordinator, …

was fantastic to deal with in the months leading up to our wedding – she was so organised and reliable and every meeting with her was a pleasure. It was reassuring to feel that all our hotel preparations were in safe hands, particularly as our wedding day got closer.

On our wedding day itself everything went even better than we expected. Paul ensured that we had no stress as he coordinated everything from getting our guests to the ceremony room to making sure the meal and speeches went smoothly.

We and our guests had an amazing weekend – the food was top class and the service from all the staff was special. The convenience of the aircoach was fantastic for our guests who travelled from overseas. Many of our guests stayed overnight at the hotel and commented that they felt they had been on a relaxing holiday as a result of the charm of the hotel, the service from the staff, and the lovely walks on Dun Laoghaire pier and to the People’s Park on the day after the wedding. The Royal Marine offers a location and service that is difficult to match. We are certain we made the perfect choice by having our wedding ceremony and reception at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire.

July 25th 2015.
From the moment we inquired about booking our wedding at this venue, the experience was first class to say the least. Maeve, the wedding coordinator was pleasant and easy to deal with and put us at ease
from the start that everything we wanted could be done. Aidan, the general manager was very present throughout and made sure that everything was done to an extremely high standard. Paul, the banqueting manager made the day run seamlessly in an non obtrusive way and was fantastic to have on hand for the day. We are so happy we went with the Royal Marine, and the photos and memories we have from our day we will always treasure.
Thanks so much again for helping to make our day so special.
If you are thinking of this as a wedding venue go to a wedding fair there to see it in its full splendour.

Firstly and most importantly, The Royal Marine is a simply superb wedding venue, I got married there in June 2015, I had the best day of my entire life and would have no problem recommending the Royal Marine to anyone, in fact I would highly recommend it. The venue itself is stunning, the location …

is perfect but where the Royal Marine excel is in their attention to detail, in their understanding of the importance of the day and in their desire to make it so memorable. This started on the very first meeting with Maeve our wedding organiser, I can’t speak highly enough about her, nothing was a problem at any point and she made the organising of the event extremely enjoyable. The day itself ran like clockwork, the treatment we got as being the bride and groom was simply incredible, it is hard to describe the level of attention that we received from all staff on the day from start to finish but it was almost beyond belief. The room itself with adjoining area for pre-dinner drinks was perfect, the food was excellent and the room itself was amazing in terms of how it is laid out to ensure there is no disconnect between tables, dance floor and bar, that really helped with ensuring a really good party when the band and DJ started. A simply superb wedding venue

Thank you again

Vicky & Barry

We had our wedding reception here on the 30th May 2015 and from start to finish the Royal Marine Hotel provided one of the best, smoothest and most professional services I've had the pleasure of experiencing.

Our first meeting was a two hour tour of the hotel with every question answered and no …

detail too small to be noted. From then on every email was replied to within one working day (usually in less than two hours). A drop in visit with close friends on a Sunday afternoon resulted in a staff member taking an hour to show us and them around. All our special requests from menu tweaks, ice cream vans to sweet heart tables were met without difficulty. In the lead up to the day Maeve ensured every detail was taken care of and on the day itself Paul and his team made sure everything ran like clockwork. The bridal suite was beautiful. The food was delicious.

Our guests were wonderfully taken care of too. Those travelling from abroad could use the direct bus route to the airport. There's easy access to the city and lots to do locally for those who stayed for a few days extra.

Our guests and ourselves had an absolutely fantastic day in no small part due to the hotel staff and their team work.

We got married in the Royal Marine Hotel last month and it was an amazing venue for our wedding.

From the first wedding fair we attended we could picture our big day there. The hotel is so impressive from the outside, gorgeous on the inside with wonderful views. We had a lot of guests who were in …

Ireland for the first time so it was important to us to have somewhere that showed the best of Ireland and this hotel definitely did that. All our guests have commented on what an amazing venue it was.

Maeve Breslin, the wedding planner was so helpful in the run up to the wedding. She answered all our questions quickly and gave us some great advice and tips. On the day, the general manager Paul was amazing and made sure that everything went to plan. All the staff were so friendly and eager to help.

Our ceremony took place in the hotel and the room was set up beautifully. We got some gorgeous photographs in front of the hotel and also down at the pier. The room was set up wonderfully for the meal and the food was delicious. Again lots of our guests commented on how great the food was, from the canapés right through to the evening food and how professional the service was.

I had been dreaming about my wedding day for years and with the help of the Royal Marine Hotel, I really did feel like a princess for the day. On the day everything went without a hitch and was exactly as we wanted it as a result of the detailed planning by Maeve and the experience/professionalism of all the staff. We are so glad we chose the Royal Marine Hotel , it was the perfect venue for our wedding day and we highly recommend it.

This is due a long time, but we would like to say a sincere and huge thank you to the staff of the Royal Marine Hotel. In particular, to Michelle, Paul and Gina who went to great lengths to make sure our wedding day was perfect for us. They made planning our wedding easy for us even though we were …

planning it from aboard. Micelle and Gina were very quick to respond to our emails and helped us plan our special day down to the final detail. The banquet hall was intimate, elegant and absolutely amazing! My husband and I were in awe when we saw it. The food was also delicious and amazing! ; our guests complimented the food and fantastic service. The head chef was very accommodating as some of our guests had special dietary requirements…nothing was a problem. Paul did a fantastic job making sure the day ran smoothly for us, he was very attentive to every detail. We knew our wedding day was in great hands immediately after meeting Paul.
The location of the hotel was perfect for our family and friends who flew to Ireland for our wedding. Our guests complimented the bedrooms and facilities and said they would go back to stay on their next visit to Ireland.
Paul, Michelle, Gina and every member of staff were great. They were very professional, helpful, polite and attentive. They made it easy for us to have a great (stress free) time at our wedding….and for that we thank you! We are delighted we choose the Royal Marine Hotel as our wedding venue and without hesitation we would highly recommend it if you are looking for that special romantic, wedding location.

We are both thrilled with the service that we received from the Royal Marine for our wedding on the 26th April 2014. From the moment we booked right up until the wedding day itself. Every query we had was answered straight away and Gina responded so quickly to all my emails.

Paul the manager …

who took care of us on the day itself was great, he made sure everything was running smoothly. The food was amazing, really top notch and everyone was complimenting the food and the size portions.

The room was great, set out so nicely and so spacious and airy with a lovely view.

We are both so happy we picked the Royal Marine as our wedding venue and we would recommend it 100%.

Everything on the day was perfect and flawless.

We are both looking forward to staying there for our 1 year anniversary this April.

We got married in September 2013 and the whole processes leading up to the day was managed fantastically but on the day the Royal Marine far exceeded our expectations. Paul looked after us throughout the day and he was amazing. He knew what he was doing, knew timings of the day and enabled us to …

relax and enjoy ourselves.
The day before we spoke to the lady who dressed the small bar we were using for pre drinks and she got it spot on with regards to the bits and pieces we wanted. Equally the main room looked fantastic, the food was top class and a lot of people commented on it.
During our weekend we got to meet the guy that manages the breakfast (sorry, I can't remember his name) and he was a star - everyone we met from the hotel throughout the weekend was very friendly and helpful not just to us but also to our family and friends - we made a point of letting the duty manager know this so hopefuly our coments were passed along.
The next day we arranged a buffet dinner for everyone and again the Royal Marine exceeded expectations - the food quality was amazing and what we wanted was interpretted really well. A few of the staff we met the night before even came up to say hello during the dinner and check everything was ok which we thought was really nice.
The whole weekend was briliantly handled, was excellent value for money and would highly recommend the venue.
Even when we went back a year later for our free night and dinner Paul made a point of coming over and saying hello and the guy we met who manages the breakfast who was working that night made a point of saying hello and asking us how everything was going.
We will certainly be going back next September and will probably make it a regular thing!! Can't praise it enough

We were looking for a special venue in Dublin as many of our guests were travelling from Mayo and we wanted to ensure a great experience that was worth the trip. Maeve, Aidan, Paul and all of the team were simply brilliant, both in the …

run up to the day, and on the day itself. Maeve is so organised which is extremely reassuring. Their professionalism and attention to detail was second to none and ensured a wonderful experience for us and our guests. Testament to the quality of the venue was the amount of comments from our guests on the quality of the food, the service and the amenities in the hotel. Was it worth the trip!?

We had a perfect wedding in the Royal Marine hotel in Dun Laoghaire. The location of the hotel in the heart of Dun Laoghaire was great and ideal for us as we had guests travelling from overseas and around the country.

The wedding planning was excellent, and we met with Alma several times …

The staff in the hotel were so helpful on the Wedding day to make sure that everything was prepared for us and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
All in all, we would highly recommend the Royal Marine.

For anyone considering where to have their wedding reception, I can't recommend the Royal Marine Hotel enough. The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, is clean and comfortable. But what sets the Royal Marine apart is their attention to detail, and the way they made our guests feel so …

special.

The staff are amazing, incredibly customer focused and it was clear they had plenty of experience with wedding receptions. The day was planned with precision by Gina and everything went like clockwork. The banqueting manager, Paul, help calm any nerves we had and the whole team worked professionally throughout the day. Anything we needed, we only had to ask and it was done. However, we rarely had to ask as nearly everything was anticipated by the Royal Marine team. The room was laid out beautifully and all of our guests were amazed at the fantastic food and wine which was served to them. Our room was beautiful and any of our guest who stayed at the hotel were impressed with their rooms and the facilities.

I would certainly recommend the Royal Marine Hotel as an ideal location for a wedding reception. They arranged the most amazing day for us and we will never forget it!!

Dear Gina, Paul, Michelle & Maeve,
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the Royal Marine team for looking after our special day. Everything on the day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. Nothing was too much …

trouble for you and the team who looked after all our details during and towards the build up of the day. From start to finish you all made it very easy, enjoyable and smooth to plan.
A massive thank you to the chefs for the amazing food also. I have to say the nicest food I have tasted at any wedding I’ve been to before. The presentation, quality and service was second to none. Also thanks to Paul, Matti, Nigel and the rest of the team who ensured the day ran smoothly.
You all went above and beyond, even looking after the early check ins for the family travelling over from the UK and ensuring that they had a room ready on arrival, it was very much appreciated.
So many family members and friends complimented the hotel and the way everything was dealt with over our wedding weekend and commented on how friendly and polite every staff member was who they crossed paths with.
It really helped and made me at ease that I didn't have to worry about our reception as I knew it was all taken care of and all in good hands and it made the planning even more enjoyable that our minds were at ease so thank you all.
I have no problem recommending the Royal Marine Hotel for any function, family event or even just a weekend away. My only negative is that we can't do the whole day all over again. Other than this I cannot fault this hotel at all.
Once again, thank you so much
Helen & David Jones.

ask for and more I couldn't recommend the hotel and its amazing staff highly enough if there was more stars to rate it I would, the food and service on our wedding day was amazing no faults no complaints with anything and nothing was too much trouble I only wish I could do it all again.

Amazing from beginning to end! I couldn't say a bad word against this hotel. The staff are incredible as is the venue itself. We couldn't thank them enough for everything they did. Nothing was too big or too small! The attention to detail in all aspects was fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to …

anyone and everyone!
Michelle was fantastic from beginning to end organising every little detail, constantly there for an little or big queries. She went above and beyond in every way and for this we will be forever grateful.
On the day Paul ran everything to plan. Again nothing too big or too small. He was amazing with everyone especially our daughter. He was there every step of our day and helped make it magical. He also went above and beyond in every aspect.
Our day went off without a hitch! It was absolutely fantastic and everyone is still talking about how amazing it was, we are in no doubt that the staff had a major part in making our day so perfect.
Every member of staff we came across from our menu tasting right up to the day was absolutely lovely. If you are considering this hotel for your wedding I would recommend seeing it in person it's more magical than the pictures, and if your not considering it, Why not???

Thank you for making us feel extra special and for ensuring our big day was stress free :)

We dealt with Alma Kenny. We found her to be both professional and warm with it. We had a fantastic day thanks to all the obviously well trained staff in all areas of the hotel. Nothing was too much to ask. We would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. For its location, old vs new worldliness, excellent …

food and very importantly friendly professional and VERY well trained staff. They understood what a big day it was for us.

Every detail was looked after! Excellent service made for a smoothly run enjoyable day! Thank you to all at the Royal Marine - special thanks to Gina Passi she's a real Professional!

By Far the best choice to have your special day
we got married last year and the experience was amazing. The staff of the royal marine hotel make you feel so welcome and made our day even better
special thanks to all the staff and special thanks to paul and alma who made our day amazing

All the staff were very friendly and helpful on the build up to the wedding and on the day especially the manager Paul and event planner Edel. Food was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. We would highly recommended the Royal marine to any considering a wedding or any type of event.

From start to finish, every interaction we had with the royal marine staff was enjoyable and stress free! Every question we had was always addressed immediately, and we were always treated like VIPs. It's such a beautiful hotel with so much history, yet still a has a very clean and modern feel. On …

the day of the wedding everything was beyond our hopes and dreams. The food and wine was superb, but it was the staff that really made the biggest impression. Our guests mentioned to us numerous times how welcoming the staff were, and it created a beautiful, warm and happy atmosphere. I would not change a thing! We had an amazing day.

We are just back from our honeymoon and I think it's only fair to say a very big thank you for the absolutely great wedding that exceeded everyone's expectations.
Every single thing was perfect from the waiters in the hotel and room service to every tiny detail during the wedding.
The royal …

marine's attention to detail was spectacular and I don't think anyone expected such a perfect day and wouldn't have from any hotel. You have definitely out done all your competition.
I would like to say thank you to you and Matti for overlooking everything on the day and a big thank to Paul who coordinated everything on the day. Also a big thank you to Rocko who works in the bar. He was very patient with us the night before and trust me it wasn't a pretty scene :) a bunch of excited slightly drunk people who are quite high maintenance :)
Now a Massive Massive thank you to Michelle. I believe Michelle made it all come true.
Firstly many things were tweaked last minute in fact I found the last two weeks the hardest. Of course Michelle with her professionalism and patience made it seem like a walk in the park.
Michelle was always there when I needed her. I can't remember one mail that lasted more than 15 mins before I got a response.
Michelle was always cheerful and pleasant and not once made me feel I was being pain. Which being a project manager I know I was and I don't envy her for having to deal with me. :) Her attention to detail was absolutely superb every single detail went as planned and even better on the day.
I could write pages about her great she was, she was absolutely fantastic.
Everyone in the hotel was great every single waiter and everyone in housekeeping too. All my family were blown away.
The food was excellent too and even better than the tasting and also the food in the bar the day before ad after was amazing.
Can't wait to come back.
Thanks again to the best hotel I've ever been to.
P.S. Mary wrote this mail with me so it's how we both feel :)

Hi Gina,

I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for our wedding.
Thank you for being so patient with me (I know I was a little bit panicky towards the end).
It was so easy to come to you with my questions and have you put me at ease. I really appreciate your advice and all …

your help!!!
Paul was fantastic on the day, he was so attentive and it helped us relax knowing he had everything in hand.

Brian and I could not have asked for anything more from you and Paul.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff amazing, all so accommodating, nothing I asked for on the day was too much and always done with a smile.
All my family & friends were commenting about the food (it was to die for) everyone agreed is was fab!!!

I really appreciate everything that was done for us!!!!

I can’t wait to see you all again on our anniversary stay, such a nice present to get!!!

Thanks again

Niamh & Brian

Back in October 2012 we had our wedding reception in the Royal Marine Hotel in the Carlisle Suite. What a great venue! Right from our initial meetings it was clear the Royal Marine were offering exceptional service and value for money. The friendly and accommodating staff, excellent food and …

beautiful rooms all added together to make for a thoroughly memorable weekend for both us and our 160 guests, many of whom commented on such a wonderful venue. Some have already returned to stay for another night! If you are looking for a Top Quality venue for your wedding, Royal Marine should definitely be considered.
