We got married at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel Athlone on the 26th of October 2023 and from the moment we started the process with the team it was a dream come true. We were lucky enough to work with Alan, Mary and Rebecca in organizing our special day. We wanted a slightly less traditional wedding, and …

very much leaned into the Halloween theme and not for one second was it questioned or was an alternative suggested they were all for it. Rebecca couldn't have done enough for us. My wife's family wanted to see the venue a few times throughout the process and each time they were welcomed. Our menu tasting was great and there was no issue bringing along our maid of honour and her partner for some second opinions. On the day of our wedding, if it could have gone wrong, it went wrong. A missing groomsman, major traffic and road works, a replacement celebrant who we'd never met... the list goes on but Rebecca and the team kept it all running smoothly and took away any of our worries. Our guests couldn't have complimented the staff, the atmosphere or the food enough. We even had some guests change their starters when they saw how good everything looked! We had a great day and it was all made so special by the hard work and staff of the Shamrock Lodge! To Paddy, Alan, Mary & Rebecca thank you so much for making our day so special and to all the staff who kept the drinks flowing too, our guests couldn't stop talking about how friendly everyone was. We would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone looking for a family feel for your special day.

From the moment we got engaged we knew that we wanted to have our wedding at Shamrock Lodge. We were thrilled to discover that November 2nd was available. The planning started and the team at The Lodge were so helpful providing a list of suggested vendors to help us get started. All through the …

process Paddy, Alan, Warren, Raj, Mary, Doireann and the entire team were amazing.
On the day itself once again the entire team worked hard to make sure our day was special. The team had set the room up beautifully and prepared the seating plan with the colour scheme in mind. The meal was delicious, piping hot and was much complimented by our guests. Alan, Raj and the team serving were friendly, efficient and very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Guests with special dietary requirements were catered for without fuss and were reassured that all sauces, gravy and soups were gluten-free. As a couple, we were encouraged by Raj to take a few minutes alone after the meal and this was much appreciated.
Our day was very special and ran very smoothly
The team at The Lodge are second to none, the couple and their guests come first and it shows. All of our guests were impressed with the warm friendly atmosphere in the hotel. The smiles on all the staff faces are genuine and contribute positively to a wonderful welcoming and friendly environment
We are beyond thrilled with our day and so very thankful to Paddy, Alan, Warren, Raj and their entire team.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this great team to anyone considering the Shamrock Lodge as their wedding venue

We really enjoyed our special day at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel.
The staff in the hotel are so good and can’t do enough. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. I would definitely recommend the Hotel.

There are no words to describe our wedding day, I have been in tears ever since! The emotions are high Doireann and the team gave us the best day of our lives. I really haven’t got the right words for you right now because I’m just overwhelmed with happiness, there isn’t one thing that we …

would change about how our day went. Doireanns help was above and beyond what we ever expected. Doireann, raj, Alan, and warren and all the staff just knocked us off our feet with support and love. I will forever remember all that they did for us. Doireann, You are the best at your job and I hope you know that and know how appreciated you are

The Shamrock Lodge was excellent in the lead-up to and on the day of our wedding. We met with Raj, Doireann, and the team a few times during the planning process, and they had everything covered. They were brilliant at breaking down the day and ensuring that everything went exactly the way we …

wanted.

We had a humanist ceremony and reception, and with the team's help, everything went seamlessly and smoothly. The team was punctual throughout the day and always available for any minor checks. They truly helped make our day about the celebration and allowed everything to run as planned.

We would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge—perfectly located, with a feeling of having the hotel all to yourselves.

This hotel deserves all the praise, as they are excellent at weddings.
