Shamrock Lodge Hotel | Reviews

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.

Having been a guest at countless weddings at the Shamrock Lodge I recently got married there myself and couldn’t rate the staff and facilities enough.

It has always been the best place in Athlone for service and care to the wedding couple and guests alike. Food has always been amazing and they …

went out of their way to cater to guests with allergies and children who are fussy eaters.

We can’t praise them enough. We also had cocktails as an added extra and they had gone above and beyond with how they displayed the tables. Can’t rate them highly enough.

We want to thank all the team at the Shamrock Lodge for making our big day so special, we couldn't have asked for more.
If we could do it all again we would. From the first day of viewing the lodge up to our wedding day the service and communication were impeccable.
Our guests were so impressed …

with the venue for the wedding ceremony, and the quick turnaround of the room. The service and food was amazing.
We would really do recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone after a wedding venue that really looks after their couple and guests ❤️

We recently celebrated our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on July 18th 2024. What can I say? The hotel management and staff were just amazing to deal with from start to finish.

The Shamrock Lodge Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding day. We had both our ceremony and our reception there.

Our ceremony was held outside in the lovely garden area that was decorated so beautifully and the ceremony was by Rev. Geraldine Bown. We had a drinks and canape reception …

afterwards which catered for all tastes and diets, there was a great variety on offer.

The decor for our reception was again done so well. All of our requests were met and nothing was too much to ask. We felt so well looked after and equally importantly our guests were well catered for. The food was top class and both the beef and the lemon sole were popular with all.

Although we had a big wedding, it felt like an intimate day. Heartfelt thanks to Paddy, Warren, Alan, Doireann and all the staff for their professionalism throughout.

From our visit to see the venue to the wedding day itself, it was a very enjoyable and hassle-free experience. Despite the unpredictable Irish weather, we wished for an outdoor ceremony at the venue - The Shamrock Lodge came up trumps. The garden was laid out beautifully for us, and there was a …

backup plan in case the sun did not shine. After our ceremony, the drinks and canopies reception was laid out beautifully and catered for all dietary requests. It was really important to both of us to have our wedding day at a venue that is well renowned for its great wedding dinners. The Shamrock Lodge did not disappoint; our guests really enjoyed the starters, soup (a big hit), lemon sole and beef dessert and, of course, the great wine that accompanied the food. The management and staff did a fantastic job with both the outdoor and indoor decor and thought of everything. The service was second to none. Paddy, Warren, Alan and Doireann were constantly available and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The fact that we were able to have our ceremony and reception at The Shamrock Lodge meant that it was seamless for guests to get from one to the other. Many of our guests stayed the night, and all highly rated the rooms, service and breakfast. The personal touch of a family-run business cannot be beaten.

The Shamrock Lodge was the only hotel where we could celebrate our wedding. Being a family-run hotel makes it even more special. Paddy, Alan, Warren, Doireann and all the amazing staff couldn't do enough for us in preparation for our wedding day and on the day itself. No ask was too big or too …

small. The food was outstanding, and everyone complimented it. The hotel is beautiful, we got fabulous photos on the grounds, and the ballroom was set up perfectly for the number of guests we had. We highly recommend The Shamrock Lodge for a wedding and look forward to other events there.

I want to thank you for making our wedding day so so special. It wasnt just the day that was special, it was at every transaction with every staff member, every phone call and every email before and after that we had with your hotel. I can honestly say that your customer experience, personal touch, …

genuine care for your customers and the love you all have for a family run hotel is what makes you stand out by a country mile! Even when I think of the Shamrock Lodge now I get a lovely warm feeling.

We absolutely loved everything about our time with you for our wedding day. Your dedication, passion and attention to detail eliminated all the stress of planning a wedding with 2 small children and this was a MASSIVE point for us.

We felt really at home with the care and hospitality you gave us, our families and guests. You took such good care of us.

The food was absolutely beautiful, and everyone commented on it. You really looked after our 2 very sensitive coeliacs, one of whom was my mother-in-law, so that was excellent!

In our thank-you speech on the day, we spoke of how coming to the Lodge was like coming home to family. The Shamrock Lodge Hotel and the staff, Mary, Alan, Doireann, Lorna, Raj, and everyone else made our day perfect.

The attention to detail, care, and consideration everyone gave was amazing. …

They gave us the much-needed reassurance and calmness when we were most anxious about wedding preparations.

The day was flawless, perfect and memorable. The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the management on the ball with every one of our wishes, big or small, catered for.

Thanks for the amazing day.

My wife and I got married in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel in February. Everyone couldn't do enough for us. The day went so smoothly; it genuinely was the best day of our lives.
Can't thank everyone enough.

From the very start, the shamrock lodge was a fantastic experience. They were brilliant in helping us with every little detail of our day.

Our wedding coordinator was fabulous. We had a combined wedding Irish Italian and they were so happy to accommodate everything we requested. The wedding …

room was very elegant. Down to the little details everything was perfect. The hall where we had our meal was decorated exactly how we wanted and was all we could have wished for.

The food was amazing as always and service was 100 percent. We partied the night away!

We cannot thank The Shamrock Lodge enough for all their efforts on the day of our wedding and in the lead up to it, also. We had the most amazing day and couldn’t be happier we decided to have our reception here.

From the moment we met with Warren, we knew we were in good hands.

The food, …

the staff, the service and the venue were beyond exceptional. Everybody at our wedding was incredibly well looked after and made to feel so welcome. We couldn’t have asked for more. The day exceeded all our expectations and we are so grateful for such wonderful memories.

Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary and Raj you were all a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Of all the things to worry about on the lead up to the wedding and the day of, you all made sure the venue wasn’t one of them. We cannot recommend you enough!

Myself and my husband got married in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on 30-12-2023.
There aren’t enough words to describe just how amazing our day was, and that’s all down to the staff in this fabulous hotel. We planned our wedding from overseas which made things a lot trickier for us, but Mary and …

Rebecca (the wedding coordinators) were so accommodating and organised a Zoom call with us when we were trying to decide on a hotel. As soon as we had the call, we knew this would be the hotel we would be booking. Being a family-run business, it really stood out from the rest and we had no doubt in our minds that we were in great hands.
In the lead-up to the wedding, everyone was just so helpful towards us. We met with Alan the GM and he was just incredible. He had the warmest welcome to us, listened to exactly what we wanted but also offered us his professional advice on things we weren’t sure about. We left that day knowing our wedding day was going to be perfect.
On the day itself, we were absolutely blown away by the hospitality and attention to detail. Paddy, Alan, Raj and Warren could not do enough for us. Not only us but also our wedding guests, getting to know most of our immediate and extended family by name and making sure everyone was okay constantly throughout the day. We had so many people comment on this as things like this don’t go unnoticed. They really made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable.
Onto the main event - the meal. The food was just amazing!! When we did the menu tasting before the wedding, we knew that everybody on the day would love it. We had so many compliments about the meal. The service was so quick, there were no delays and the staff even went around with a second round of mains to all the tables.
We feel so incredibly lucky and grateful that we were able to have our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. We will never forget how special all the staff made us feel.
So thank you so much to all the management and staff!
Oonagh and Matt

Where do I begin....the most amazing wedding venue. Family-run hotel and they 100% look after everyone. We had the best day and everything about the lodge was perfect.

When you book your wedding with Shamrock Lodge Hotel, you’re booking an amazing, fun, and truly unforgettable day! It is true what all the reviews and awards say, nothing is too much trouble.

First, Mary, then Rebecca made everything so very easy for us, which is exactly what we needed because …

we live in Melbourne (Darragh is from Athlone). Aside from one Zoom call, everything was organized for us by way of email with quick responses and answers to my multitude of questions in great detail.

On the day of our wedding, the whole team looked after us and our guests so well and all our guests said they had a wonderful time. There were so many food options to choose from and everything we picked was delicious. We had potato and leek soup (all the guests said this was unreal), chicken & mushroom bouche and chorizo/black pudding, sirloin of beef and fillet of salmon, and the desert medley.

We had several guests come from Australia and other parts of the world who stayed at the lodge and said they had a wonderful stay, with again, nothing being too much trouble. Debbie in the Front Office team provided 5-star customer service, again mainly via email, organizing all of the required rooms for our international guests.

It was exactly the kind of relaxed and fun, yet also elegant and traditional wedding we were hoping for. The customer service at the lodge is second to none and this was further extended to us by some of the team members of the front office and housekeeping teams who generously offered to babysit our baby girl, my nieces, and my bridesmaid’s baby. Going above and beyond is an understatement. Thank you SLH!! Can’t wait to return when we’re next in Ireland.

What can we say about the Shamrock Lodge…… we couldn’t have had a better team look after us, from start to finish, Alan, Rebecca, Warren & the gang looked after us like royalty. We have had so many guests comment to us about the staff, food and atmosphere at the hotel and how amazing it was. …

If you’re looking for a chilled out, laid back wedding venue, the Shamrock Lodge is the one for you! Couldn’t recommend it enough, and it was so good to be able to have our ceremony there too.

On the search for a location for our wedding reception, we got a last minute appointment with the son of the owner, Alan, in early January. The nice atmosphere and genuine conversation convinced us. The Shamrock Lodge delivered exceptionally throughout the whole process:
The planning with Rebecca …

who was there helping and supporting every step of the way; the fantastic, friendly staff that delivered high quality food was mentioned by all of the guests. The staff of the Shamrock Lodge were very welcoming and helpful to all of our guests and really went the extra mile.
The location was perfect for our German-Irish wedding with 190 guests with great outdoor drinks reception area, ballroom and comfortable accommodation. The location of the hotel suited our guests as it was a short walk to the town centre and the river Shannon.

All in all it exceeded our expectation. Thanks to the whole team and especially to Rebecca, Alan, Paddy and Raj.

The Shamrock Lodge was an absolute pleasure to work with. The staff and all the wedding team are an absolute dream and catered to our every need. I can’t recommend them enough!

We decided to celebrate our wedding here after dropping in one Sunday for the carvery lunch and some quality assurance on the Guinness. We had seen online some favourable reviews for weddings here and wanted to check it out for ourselves. From the moment we went in, we were not disappointed. The …

food is great, fresh, great portions, the deserts were lovely and the pints were spot on. The place itself has been well decorated and has a great atmosphere. On the back of this, we proceeded to book our wedding here. From the moment we engaged with Rebecca (wedding coordinator) she was very easy to work with and answered all our questions and put our minds at ease throughout the process. The manager Alan was a lovely man to deal with and made us feel very special on our menu tasting evening, which in itself was a great evening. We got taken care of from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing………….all of it.

The wedding day itself was very well run. Everything went according to plan. The room we had the ceremony in was really well done up and we would have absolutely no complaints about it. The reception afterwards flew and the dinner (and dessert) itself was beautiful. The service was excellent. Many guests complemented us that the food was really good. Dealing with the staff here throughout the process was extremely pleasant and you can tell it is a great place to work from talking to some of the staff. Would have absolutely no reservations recommending the Shamrock Lodge to anyone for a wedding. If we had to do it all over again we’d do it here again.
Many thanks to Rebecca, Alan, Paddy, Daniel, Nicola, Kathleen, Coco and all of the staff at the hotel who made us feel at home on our wedding day and through the whole process.

We can't thank the Shamrock Lodge enough for all they did for our special day. We organized our wedding from Beijing, so once we had chosen the Shamrock Lodge, Mary helped us at the beginning to secure our special day. Going forward we then dealt with Rebecca. I cannot thank this lady enough - she …

made us feel so relaxed and welcome, like we were the only couple to have ever gotten married in the hotel. Whenever there would be some worries, we would shoot her an email and she would give such a detailed reply and be as helpful as always. On our special day, the venue looked absolutely amazing.

We had a lot of American guests and they all loved the venue, everyone remarked on the food and particularly appreciated that late night food was served.

We don’t know where to start. Our wedding at The Shamrock Lodge was beyond our highest expectations. From our first meeting with Alan, he asked us to leave everything in their hands, we felt comfortable enough to do that and with no interference, our day was just beyond amazing. Alan, Paddy, …

Warren, Rebecca & all the staff at the hotel went above and beyond on our special day. Our guests couldn’t speak highly enough about the food & kind staff on the day. Everyone was made feel right at home. We were treated like a king & queen. Our day 2 was a BBQ here also. Same again with the standard of service and attention to us & our guests. We couldn’t recommend The Shamrock Lodge highly enough to anyone looking for the perfect venue for their special day. What we wouldn’t do to do it all over again and we wouldn’t change a single thing.

We cannot thank all of the staff at the Shamrock Lodge enough for what they've done for our wedding day. Warren, Alan, Rebecca & Paddy could not do enough to make our special day the best day we could have ever imagined. They really do go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at home …

within this beautiful family hotel. The food was amazing as always and they catered for any request that was given. They had their garden looking gorgeous for our photos also. All of the Shamrock Lodge staff were brilliant throughout the planning process and on the day itself..thank you.

From the first time we popped in to view the Shamrock Lodge, to our meetings with Rebecca, the wedding co-ordinator, and the wedding day itself, we were made feel so welcome and at ease by all the staff in the Shamrock Lodge. We had the most perfect wedding day here. The ceremony room was set up …

beautifully and Alan and Paddy made sure everything ran like clockwork on the day, and we were just able to have fun and enjoy the party. The grounds are stunning for photographs and the food was delicious. We felt like the hotel was our second home for the weekend, we were so comfortable there, and lots of the staff made the effort to know our bridal party by name. All our guests complimented the Shamrock Lodge and said they had a brilliant time. We were so delighted with the wedding package the Shamrock Lodge gave us. We'd highly recommend them for a wedding.

We would like to thank Shamrock Lodge Hotel so much for making our day so special.

We had our wedding in December and we were looked after by Rebecca, the wedding coordinator who was very approachable and professional from start to finish. The nice thing about the Shamrock Lodge Hotel is that it’s a family business and the personal touch is very much felt by both Paddy and Alan, …

yet professional and nothing was a problem.
We had a civil ceremony at the hotel as well as our reception.
The food is amazing and was very much enjoyed by us and our family and friends.
We both would recommend this venue if you want a personal and professional touch.

Damien and I cannot thank Alan and his team at The Shamrock Lodge enough for everything they did to make our day so special. There is nowhere else we would have had our wedding reception, it was always going to be the Shamrock Lodge for us. From the time we booked our wedding, we were always made …

feel so welcome. The family run hotel makes you feel you are in a home away from home. We also had to postpone our wedding due to covid but nothing was ever an issue and we always felt at ease during those difficult times. When our day finally arrived we were blown away at how well we were looked after, from start to finish. The hotel was decorated and set up for our special day so beautifully. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was absolutely top notch.
To everyone at The Shamrock Lodge, thank you all so much.

Robbie and I cannot thank all the staff at the Shamrock Lodge enough for going above and beyond to give us the most perfect day. The Shamrock Lodge will always hold a very special place in our hearts and there is nowhere else we would have had our wedding reception.
Robbie and I had numerous …

meetings with the staff and management when organising our big day and we were always made feel so welcome, at ease and confident knowing that our wedding plans were in the best hands possible.
From the second we stepped out of the car and walked into the hotel we were overwhelmed with how beautiful the hotel and our reception area looked. It was clear the staff went above and beyond for us, and we could genuinely feel that love on the day.
The Shamrock Lodge is a family run hotel, and they made us feel like family on the day.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much .

I cannot recommend Alan and his staff enough. Alan has been a dream to work with from the first time I rang him to have a look at the hotel. Everything went so smoothly both in the run up and on the day of the wedding. His staff are a credit to him, each one of them were so polite and helpful. If …

you want a wedding day that will run smoothly and you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the day then 100% book your wedding with Alan or Mary in the Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. The beautiful grounds are a major plus for pictures or for the small ones to play the day away.

Thank you so much for everything, for making our day so very special from start to finish. How the year has flown by. We have such great appreciation & gratitude to all the wonderful staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel who helped us to make this possible during covid times and still have an absolutely …

fantastic wedding day!! A huge thank you to all the team involved, Paddy, Alan & Warren & most importantly the fabulous Mary who were so welcoming from our very first meeting and made us feel so at ease with every aspect of our plans, you were just fantastic Mary and we had some great laughs throughout the whole process.
Delighted to say we were back again in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel this weekend to celebrate our 1st anniversary dinner in which we had a lovely evening altogether, the Shamrock Lodge Hotel never fails to deliver no matter what the occasion is. So again a huge thank you to all involved from both of us , Sharon & Liam

What is there to say about the Shamrock Lodge that probably hasn’t already been said? Paddy, Alan and their amazing team provided the most outstanding customer service anybody could ask for.
We had our wedding here in December 2022. The venue was fabulous, decorated to perfection. The food was …

amazing, and the staff could not do enough for us or our guests.
In the lead up to our wedding we had the pleasure of working with Rebecca, our wedding planner, who was on hand with answers to any questions we had and reassured us everything would be great – which it was!
I cannot recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough for any occasion, but especially for a wedding. As all the locals say, “there’s no place like the Lodge for a wedding”.

Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary & Rebecca and all the wonderful staff at the Shamrock Lodge, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us in the lead up to our wedding. The whole team were a pleasure to deal with. The day itself was perfect from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble …

for any of you. All our family and friends commented on how good the food & service was. A special word of thanks to the wonderful Kathleen who looked after the top table and ensured our little boy Ollie had everything he could possibly want.
We would not hesitate to recommend the Shamrock Lodge to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the future, it's 100% the best decision we made.

I can't recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough. Neither myself or my partner are from Athlone ourselves but I felt we became one of the family, in this family run hotel. Our No. 1 priority was we wanted to encourage our guests to stay onsite by picking a venue outside Dublin that was reasonably …

priced for accommodation. We also had a lot of guests traveling from different parts of Ireland so it was an ideal spot.
It ticked a lot of boxes for us:
- Close to transport: It's in the centre of Ireland so not too far for anyone to travel.
- Staying on site the night before: Apartments onsite meant bridal party were able to get ready in the morning while staying separate to the hotel and the groom and his groomsmen. The handiness of staying on site, I can't recommend it enough particularly in Ireland where there's uncertainty about weather conditions.
- If all our guests stayed on site (which they nearly all did) it becomes an exclusive wedding venue without paying the exclusive price.
-We tried the food many times on the lead up to the day and there was always fab and big portions. They came out with second helpings of meat at the meal on the day and all the guests were so impressed by the food.
- Function room has a bar in it: Nice size that suits both small and big numbers. Depending on numbers the band can also set up before the meal finishes, keeping your guests in the function room and together.
- Not in the town but close enough to walk to the pubs: Live band was playing in Sean's bar on the Friday night before our wedding and our guests who came down the night before loved it.
A special thank you to the staff (particularly Alan, Mary, Rebecca, Debbie) who made the wedding so easy and enjoyable to plan. So many of our guests kept coming up to me on the day complimenting the staff. The only complaint I got was that 'maybe there was a bit too much food'. I felt like anything I asked for I got. I look forward to our next visit and having that chicken vol au vent again.

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 14th May and it was just amazing from start to finish! Alan, Mary and Paddy couldn't do enough for us we had the best day! Nothing was too much to ask and we had an amazing meal with the best service....everyone is still talking about the food …

and the atmosphere at the hotel. Everyone is so helpful and approachable! The Shamrock Lodge Hotel will always have a special place in our heart and always happy to recommend to other couples as we had the best day!

Review submitted on Wed, 7th of December, 2022

I’m not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at The Lodge, I knew we had found the best venue for our wedding after meeting Alan the owner & Warren the manager. To begin with, Alan & Warren were very attentive & genuinely …

wanted to make our event perfect. They listened to my ideas, vision and helped us find the perfect options for us. Honestly, absolutely everything they provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy, they made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most special day. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. Deborah the reservation manager was amazing as we had many room changes etc. The drinks reception was well arranged as we had a large number of guests attending our wedding. The main ballroom was dazzling & the backdrop, recommended by Alan was really appealing to the eye. The plated meals and their presentation were outstanding, everyone was so impressed with the food & service. During the reception, the staff were amazing and kind to everyone, and treated us, literally, like royalty. Our friends and family raved for weeks about how incredible everything was, saying it was the perfect mix of class and unpretentiousness. Even my 8 year old daughter could not believe the quality of everything and has declared she wants to have her communion in the Shamrock Lodge. I cannot recommend this venue, and all of its staff, enough. I wish we could do it all again at The Shamrock Lodge. A million thanks to Alan, Warren, Deborah & all the staff for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

From the time we got engaged, it was certain that we both wanted to marry in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. The BEST family run hotel in the town of Athlone!!!!!
Daniel & myself got married on 29th April 2022. From the time we met Alan, Paddy Warren, Mary & their class team nothing was a chore for us. …

We instantly felt a sense of family homely warm vibes. Nothing was a problem, anything we wanted to know about, whether it be about entertainment to table signs to food, it was answered straight away, and everything was facilitated for. From the entrance we received on our wedding day, to the gorgeous Shamrock Lodge grounds, to the ballroom, to the unbelievable food. (And so much food :) :) ). To the accommodation, it was simply magical. We and our guests felt right at home on the day of our wedding. Alan and his team went above and beyond for us. It's a day & night we will never forget. Our family and friends are still complimenting the delicious food and the excellent service that was provided on the day. In their words "one of the best wedding venues they have attended, with the best food there is".

If you are beginning out on your wedding journey and planning your special day. If you do nothing else, check out the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. It'll be the easiest decision you make. We rate this Hotel 10/10 for everything.

What we would do, to do it all again. :)

Alan, Paddy, Mary & all the Shamrock Lodge family. Thank you again!!!

Your Newly weds
Sinéad & Daniel Sammon

Both us and our guests were blown away by the service, and staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. It’s no wonder that it is the most renowned hotel in the midlands when it comes to weddings. From start to finish they have been so warm, accommodating, dedicated and professional. Our guests are still …

talking about the service! It stands apart from the rest and it should be everyone’s top choice for their wedding because both you and your guests will be so well looked after!

Where do I begin with with the Shamrock Lodge Hotel .....

We got married there in July 2022 and absolutely everything went perfect.

All the staff in the Lodge are so helpful. From Paddy, Alan, Warren and Mary to all reception, bar, serving and housekeeping staff, they are honestly so …

accommodating and helpful.

I can honestly say I didn't have to worry about anything, their calm and happy demeanor is really felt and remembered, you know you're in good hands.

Nothing was too much to ask Mary or any of the lads. The food is always absolutely unreal.

It really is a special family hotel and they make you and yours feel part of theirs!

We would without a doubt recommend the Shamrock Lodge, we have already and will continue to into the future.

If you are considering a homely feel but yet stylish hotel for your wedding, then look no further than The Shamrock Lodge. The family run hotel provides an outstanding warm welcome from every member of staff. Management and employees went above and beyond to ensure we were positively informed with …

consistency throughout our two postponed wedding dates. From emails to calls, no wedding request from us as a couple went unnoticed, responses were prompt, friendly and highly considerate to our needs. The reassurance and comfort we received while planning and rescheduling eased the stressful process for us massively. We cannot thank the management and staff enough for making the journey but more importantly our special day a memorable one. Our wedding day is continually talked about by our guests, from the service, greetings upon arrival, the quality meal we received and the accommodation, the hospitality is outstanding. Many guests had not attended a function in the venue previous to our wedding and now without hesitation, they will return for either a special occasion, family function or the fabulous food provided on a daily basis. The stunning gardens provided a backdrop for our beautiful photos and video, memories to last a lifetime. The wedding packages are reasonable, affordable and adaptable to suit your personal needs. We want to give a personal thank you to the management and employees who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a continuous basis, to Paddy, Alan, Mary, Warren, Jason, Debbie and Nicola, you all are the forefront of a brilliant team.

Wishing you all the best in the future.

Caroline and Aidan Scully.

We had the most amazing day in The Shamrock Lodge at your reception, Alan, Warren & Paddy went over and beyond for myself and Paul, and for all of our family friends on the day itself and in the lead up to the wedding. We cannot thank them enough.

We had a fantastic day. The venue was perfect. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was really top class and plenty of it. Overall we were very happy with our wedding day celebration at The Shamrock Lodge.

We got married in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and I cannot recommend the place enough. Great location, beautiful gardens, fabulous dining room with beautiful food, a beautiful bar where our guests could go while we had photos taken.

The bridal suite was stunning with a balcony where we could see …

all our guests arriving. All our guests were extremely happy with their rooms, the food and the service in general. There was also loads of parking at the hotel.

Paddy, Alan, Mary and all the staff were a dream to work with. They made us so comfortable from the minute we met them. We got almost everything we wanted, and what they could not provide us with ( which was very little) they provided us with numbers for vendors that could.

We had the time of our lives, and I would not change a thing from our special day. It was so stress free and this is down to Paddy, Alan, Mary and all the wonderful staff here. I could not recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough.

Absolutely amazing!

From start to finish the hotel was so accommodating we couldn’t thank them enough. From the wedding coordinator to the waitstaff everyone was so lovely. We had no issues with anything as whatever we wanted or needed was taken care of straight away.
Our guests are still …

talking about our wedding weeks later, especially the food. This was stunning!

We are so sad our day is over, but thanks to the hotel and it’s amazing staff it is a day that has left us with zero regrets. If we could do it all over again we would definitely pick the Shamrock Lodge to do that.

We don’t have enough words and will be forever grateful for such a special day.

We had our wedding day at the Shamrock Lodge Athlone.

It was a fantastic day. The hotel staff were amazing throughout the whole planning of the day and the running of the day.

Mary and the team are fantastic at settling your nerves and making you feel comfortable. Nothing was ever an issue …

from the first meeting we had with Alan to book our dates with him. Very much a family vibe and feeling about the place.

All our guests have commented that it was one of the best wedding venues they had attended, and the food was amazing. If we can recommend anything, it would be more of that amazing veg soup on the menu. 5 courses of that would have gone down just as good.

10 star rating for everything.

We held our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel at the end of May this year. From the moment we had our initial meeting with Warren way back at the start of 2020 we knew it was the venue for us! Unfortunately due to COVID we had to postpone the date and the hotel could not have been more …

accommodating. I cannot speak highly enough of the service that we received from Alan and his team, every member of staff we spoke to along the way was so friendly and helpful. There is very much a family feel to the hotel and they cannot do enough for you to make your day special, from accommodating those personalised requests to answering numerous emails along the way! We got blessed with the weather on the day, and without any issue the hotel allowed us to make that last minute decision to have our drinks reception moved to the garden and had it beautifully set-up for when our guests arrived. The dinner and timeliness of service on the day was also excellent, although I would expect nothing less as they are well known in the area for the quality of food on offer. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to anyone thinking of getting married in the Midlands, my only disappointment is that we can't do it all over again!! :) A sincere thank you to Paddy, Alan and all the team at the Lodge.

took any props we had and made sure they were set up for us on the day, they eliminated so much stress for us. The bagpipe arrival made the day and the set up in our reception room was second to none. The night continued to impress us with appetisers, amazing meals and the most helpful, professional staff ment that me and my now husband could dance the night away without any worries. My family and friends have been so impressed that we have gone on to plan more functions there. Thank you so much for helping us have the best day with our friends and family.

Looking forward to our 1st year anniversary dinner. Thank you, Shamrock Lodge Hotel.

A HUGE thank you to The Shamrock Lodge for making our wedding day the most perfect day. From the moment we contacted you back in 2020, we knew that this was the place we wanted for our marriage. I don't know where to start with our thanks really as we were completely blown away. Our guests cannot …

stop saying how perfect the wedding venue was too. The organisation and communication was fantastic from day one and we knew we were in very safe hands. The accommodation, rooms and apartments were fab and a big shout out to Debbie, who had to deal with the constant changes (she has the patients of a saint and went beyond and above to sort our guests). The day itself went so smoothly, the rain didn't spoil anything, you guys are so prepared for all eventualities. A huge thank you to all the staff, the chefs, bar staff, waiting staff and cleaners, you were all wonderful! Another big shout out to Alan and Jay who completely knocked it out the park, keeping things both calm and humorous. And a special thank you to Mary, who answered our never ending queries.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our special day. From the initial wedding booking right up to when we checked out the day after the wedding, Mary, Jason, Paddy and the rest of the staff at the Lodge looked after us impeccably. We had a few requests regarding menu adaptations and …

personalizing the room with our own decorations and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few guests with special dietary requirements (diabetic, vegetarian etc.) and they were well looked after on the day in terms of food and drink as were all of our other guests. The day itself ran so smoothly and stress free due to the efforts of Mary, Jason and the entire staff. They never stopped all day ensuring that everything was perfect.

The hotel was spotless clean, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the staff were so welcoming and the food (and portion sizes!) was absolutely out of this world. Their grounds make the absolute perfect backdrop for your wedding photos and we didn't even need to go off site to get them. The gardens and surroundings are so well kept and our photos came out beautiful because of this. Our guests are still raving about the whole day and have said it was the best wedding they've been to. We'd highly recommend booking your wedding here, you won't be disappointed. This was our third wedding date due to the pandemic and throughout the rescheduling process and uncertainty, Mary couldn't have been more helpful or understanding. They really take their slogan of "Let our family look after yours" so seriously and execute it perfectly.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Shamrock Lodge for making our wedding day exactly how we envisioned it and MORE!! (If we could give this hotel more than 5 stars, we would!)

were a pleasure to deal with, they helped us and guided us throughout all the planning of our big day and made everything stress free. The facilities and gardens are kept in pristine condition and made for excellent pictures, the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms are a credit to them.

A 5-star review for outstanding service. Hard to believe that it's 1 week ago since we celebrated our special day. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. We were always going to choose the Shamrock Lodge for our wedding venue as we had celebrated many special family occasions there in the past …

and will continue to do so in the future. We were always well looked after by Paddy, Alan, Warren and all the staff.

Our day was brilliant from start to finish and many of our guests commented on the wonderful homely atmosphere, from the beautiful decor to the fabulous food we had.

recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough. A superb family run business, with amazing staff.

After having viewed a few venues, Stephen and I choseShamrock Lodge Hotel as the place we wished to hold our wedding reception back in 2019. The world was then hit by a global pandemic, which added in no small way to the stress that already comes with planning a wedding.

Mary, Alan and all the …

staff at Shamrock Lodge Hotel were a huge help in this time. Their patience and understanding of the situation we were in as restrictions were imposed, and we were unsure if we would proceed with the wedding as planned, was of great reassurance to us. They never once put us under pressure and indeed our table plans were changing right up until the week of the wedding. Again this was no problem. As a couple, this was the most important factor for us in dealing with the hotel. There was no problem to big or too small and they accommodated us with every request.
On the day the service from the staff was top class, and the food was exceptional. The beautiful gardens are a perfect backdrop for photos of the day as well. The room was beautifully decorated for the day, and we were delighted with how the wedding went. All present had a great night and were highly complimentary of the hotel.

We would recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel to any couple planning their big day.

What an amazing day. The hotel was fabulous. Mary was an amazing coordinator, and went over and above to make our day special. It was above and beyond our expectations. They made our day so special and relaxed. I can't recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough!

We recently had our wedding in The Shamrock Lodge and couldn't be happier with how the day went, and a lot of it was down to the hotel. Alan was so easy to deal with before the wedding and nothing ever seemed like it was too much. We had our ceremony in the hotel. I had wanted to decorate a lot …

myself and the hotel were so accommodating allowing me to have as much input as I wanted whilst also being so helpful and taking care of us and our guests on the day. The hotel looked beautiful and had that relaxed feel that we wanted. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the hotel staff, food, and the atmosphere was, and everyone had a great time.

The hotel ensured that the current guidelines were followed making sure everyone felt like they were in a safe environment, while at the same time, making the day feel as normal as it would have felt pre-covid. We can't fault the hotel for their service before and during the day of our wedding. Alan and the team have gone above and beyond. I have been at the hotel for other events over the years and I have never had a bad experience. We would highly recommend The Shamrock Lodge for weddings and any other event!

When we first got engaged, we knew we wanted to get married at Shamrock Lodge Hotel. From our very first meeting with Alan up until the end of our wedding day, the team could not have done more for us. We had our ceremony and reception in the hotel. The space provided for the cermeony created the …

perfect atmosphere for an intimate wedding. We were in contact with Mary all throughout our planning. She answered all of our (many) questions, and helped us plan every detail meticulously. Alan, Paddy and Warren could not have done more for us on the day of the wedding, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing and plentiful. All of our guests commented on the excellence of the food, and how friendly the service was. We had quite a few dietary requirements among our guests, and the chef was so accommodating to all of our requests. We would 100% recommend Shamrock Lodge Hotel for a wedding. Their attention to detail is second to none, and our day was perfect. Thanks again to Alan, Paddy, Warren, Mary and all the staff, for making it so special!

We knew that we made the best decision for choosing Shamrock Lodge Hotel as a venue for our wedding reception. From planning, up to the day of the wedding, the Shamrock Lodge team gave their best to accommodate our request and preferences. They really live up to their motto of "let our family look …

Our family and friends were delighted with the venue, staff and the meal. The food is superb and the service is really good.

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on the 31st of July, 2021. To say we had the best day ever is the understatement of the year. It was more than either of us could have ever dreamed of. The hotel and wedding coordinating team were so accommodating and made sure that we were always happy …

with everything leading up to the wedding. From the moment we met with the coordinator when we were viewing the hotel, we knew that we had found the perfect place. The welcoming atmosphere and the bubbly personalities that we met walking through the door just captured our attention and instantly put smiles on our faces. You can really tell that it is a family run hotel, as all the staff really come together and present as a strong, caring family unit.

Warren and Mary worked tremendously hard behind the scenes and on the weekend of our wedding. There was no question too big or too small. There is usually a lot of stress around wedding planning, but Mary took all that stress away and replaced it with fun and laughter. You feel very much at ease planning your wedding with the coordinators. There was fantastic attention to detail from service, to food, to décor and function room layout. The hotel team was always so attentive and ‘on the ball’. The food was exquisite and is something so many of our guests raved about after the wedding. The private garden beside the function room is the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. There was a lovely flow to the day from drinks, to the reception, to photos and meal, to first dance. Everything ran perfectly smoothly and that is due to the exceptional organization and work carried out by the Shamrock Lodge team.

The team at Shamrock Lodge couldn't possibly do any more for us. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the most magical day for us. They welcomed any ideas that we had in mind and were incredibly accommodating. If we were to do it all again, we definitely would pick the Shamrock Lodge Hotel.

Thanks so much for everything!!

We celebrated our wedding reception in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on July 24th 2021. From our, first meeting with Alan, he was so kind and helpful as he listened to all of our suggestions and requirements. We felt assured that with his experience and attention to detail we would have a wonderful day. …

Everyone in the hotel from Nicola on reception to Warren and Paddy, all worked quietly in the background to ensure we had a perfect day. We were planning our wedding while restrictions were gradually being eased, so this resulted in some uncertainty and challenges with our planning. However this never caused us concern because Alan constantly worked with us, to ensure we had the wedding day we always wanted. Alan also made some very helpful suggestions, regarding slight amendments we could make, in order to ensure we got the most out of our day. We are so glad we listened to his advice as those small changes really enhanced our day.

From speaking with our guests, they all mentioned how great the food was. All our tables were served quickly and well timed together. The food was beautifully cooked and it was noted by several of our guests that it was hot and fresh when it arrived to the table.

We had very high expectations on what we wanted from our wedding reception and we can honestly say that the Shamrock Lodge hotel surpassed them. We also liked the fact that they really valued our business, we understand they have several weddings every month, but they truly made us feel as if our wedding was their priority. They are experts in the area of wedding receptions and they have not become complacent despite all the success they have in this area.

Finally when our wedding was over and we returned to the hotel a few weeks later to dine in their restaurant, Nicola, Alan, Paddy and Warren all took the time to stop and speak with us and gave us a lovely welcome and high level of service. This is a testament to the fact they truly value their customers. Miriam & Sean

When we set out on our journey of planning our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, we never dreamt that a pandemic would hit and have us rearranging everything. Our wedding was held on 20th November 2020 where only 25 guests could attend.
During the planning everyone at the Shamrock Lodge went …

above and beyond to help us with any queries or questions we had.
The support we received throughout the whole year was exceptional. From changing our original wedding date, to reducing our guest numbers to safety measures, the list was endless. Nothing was too big or too small of an ask.

When we arrived for our big day, everything was beyond perfect. Alan and the team are outstanding at what they do. The drinks reception, the food and the room layout and decoration was beyond what we could have imagined under covid restrictions.
We were so happy we went ahead with our wedding and could not recommend the Shamrock Lodge enough.

From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank Alan and his team for making our wedding perfect.

Thank you to you and your staff for making us and our guests feel welcome, safe and of course having a bit of normality for a day.

When we had to cancel our wedding in June, we rescheduled to 5th December 2020, I was a bit wary of a Christmas wedding.

We had our wedding in the shamrock lodge Hotel on the 10th December 2020.
We first met with Alan just weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately, due to covid we needed to change our wedding venue last minute, merely weeks before our date. We did not want to change our date as we had been waiting over …

2 years to get married. Alan was absolutely brilliant, an amazing person to deal with-it felt as if we had been planning our wedding for the last 2 years with him. There was nothing Alan couldn't do for us, he went above and beyond. The hotel adhered to all covid regulations on the day-Alan and team made us feel so special on our day, even with covid we enjoyed every single minute. The staff at the shamrock are fantastic! Everyone was so helpful, couldn't do enough for all of us. Again nothing was a problem for the staff-they were just brilliant. The food was divine! Everyone was delighted with the food- the portions were so generous! The rooms were super clean; The smell in the rooms is beautiful. We really felt so special on our wedding day, but we also felt special when we just went for dinner there. I CANNOT WAIT FOR RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS TO BE OPENED AGAIN TO EAT HERE. This is a hotel that everyone should go to eat and stay as the staff go above and beyond.
One thing that will always stick in my mind is the lovely lady Mary who sewed a piece of my sisters dress that ripped! that is an example of above and beyond!
WE CANNOT EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO ALAN AND TEAM FOR EVERYTHING- WE CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ENOUGH FOR A WEDDING, A STAY, A DINNER, A LUNCH-ANY REASON FOR A VISIT-YOU WONT REGRET IT.

There was a great menu selection and also if something you didn't see on menu, Paddy would happily see if he could get it for you. The grounds outside for photos are just perfect the gardens are kept immaculate we didn't need to go anywhere else for our wedding photos. The bridal suite which was newly renovated was perfect and a little added touch of champagne went down a treat. Overall myself and James are so happy we had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel we couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel to any couple looking for their Dream wedding. We had nothing to worry about only turn up on the day.

We had our wedding planned for April 2020 but with everything going on with COVID it was postponed.

Paddy, Alan and Warren did everything to help us change the date and couldn't have been more generous with their time and help. Nothing was too much trouble and all questions were answered. It …

was very stressful worrying about it, but they were so reassuring.

We went from 100-ish guests to 22 guests and we were given 5 star treatment from start to finish. All our guests needs were met with a smile.

The room where we had the ceremony and meal was just so beautifully decorated. It was light and airy and so elegant. With all the restrictions we didn't have music after the meal and we were finished at 11.30. But, wow, it was just the most perfect day from start to finish. Everyone of my guests have complimented me and the Shamrock Lodge for a wonderful day... and it was. I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

And as for the staff they were brilliant. Great team. Looked after us so well.
So, Paddy, Alan, Warren, Mary, Elaine and all the wonderful staff, thank you for making our wedding day the most perfect wonderful magical day ever.

Myself and Eddie would like to thank The Shamrock Lodge again for all of your help. From the day we enquired about booking our wedding, until the moment it was time for bed on our day, nothing was ever too much for ask for, and questions were always answered.

We held our civil wedding at the …

Shamrock Lodge in September 2020, and everyone had the most amazing time! It's an intimate space which definitely becomes home for the time that you are there

Alan & all the staff were brilliant, so lovely to work with, really accommodating and helpful. At the time restrictions were rift throughout Ireland and Alan was a calming influence in a chaotic time. We were in touch with Alan throughout our planning process and he was amazing - so down to earth and approachable, made things easy through his knowledge, experience and fantastic personality. He kept us from losing the plot, at the same time giving us great options and ideas

The venue itself was set beautifully and everything we had asked for was catered to, we even had a Piper playing us down the aisle. The grounds of the venue are scenic and perfect for your photos.

The food - oh, the food! The food was five stars, it was tasty, hot and plentiful, all our guests raved about it afterwards. The service was prompt and attentive & friendly

All the staff – from reception, wait, housekeeping and bar staff were amazing and genuine in making this a day to remember even in midst of a pandemic! Without the wonderful staff our day wouldn’t be possible – So thank you!

We couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better venue.

Having had such a fantastic wedding day in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel we thought it would be a nice idea to share our experience for other couples to read. It also gives us another chance to thank everyone at this hotel for making ours such a great day.

We decided to have our wedding at this hotel …

having attended a few weddings here as guests and thoroughly enjoying every one of them. Planning a wedding can be a daunting prospect but we have to say our whole experience in dealing with the management and staff was a pleasure. Nothing was a problem for them to organize. Their help and assistance in ensuring all of our requirements were met were second to none. Also their attention to detail was fantastic.

The whole process from the start - an evening chat with Paddy, to the meetings we had with Mary, who was exceptional in her assistance with the whole planning process, to Alan and the team who looked after us and our guests on the big day - to the finish was flawless. The management and staff could not have done any more to make our wedding day such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

The incredible work that the staff had done in each of the rooms we used during our day was a credit to their dedication on making sure that our day was very special not only for us but also for them. From the room in which our marriage ceremony took place, to the reception room and on to the dining room, we appreciated how much they cared as the decor in each room was done beautifully. It is quite simply a fantastic venue and our day could not have gone any better.

We would like to thank you all once again and wish you all well during these difficult times of COVID.
We hope that you can soon return to what you do best, creating magical enjoyable wedding experiences for many more couples.

Had our wedding here this year on the 14th Feb 2020. It was absolutely amazing... Mary, Alan, Paddy, Warren and every single staff member was just brilliant to deal with...

Every meeting we had with Mary - she was just amazing. She went through every single detail and so did Warren, Alan and …

Paddy. I even broke their poor hearts over changing the table plan few times - we had 256 people sitting for dinner. And Warren was great organising that for us. The food was excellent, piping hot when it came out. They were always on the other end of the phone if anything needed to be asked. We had a civil ceremony in the hotel and that too was organised very well. They all make you feel like as if you were family. It is such a nice homely and welcoming hotel. All my guests were saying after the wedding that it was so relaxing and personal for a wedding. When I arrived to the hotel, I was very nervous. Warren and Alan were at the door waiting for me to arrive. I needed to use the bathroom and had to take off my train on the back of my dress. Alan and Warren were such gents that when I came out of bathroom with my bridesmaid the two lads put on my train and had us all in knots laughing - they were just amazing at the way they cooled my nerves. My Photographer even got a picture and it actually is lovely to have. Also on the day Mary Glynn who just went beyond her way to make sure everything was perfect. It was her day off and she even came in to see us on the day. We are so so happy we had our wedding here as we both are from Ballinasloe. It was just perfect - 10 out of 10. It was the best day of again. Tara and Jason Campbell...Mr and Mrs xxx

On behalf of Orla and Maurice, We would like to thank all the staff that were involved in arranging, organising and helping out with getting the venue of the Shamrock Lodge ready for our wedding day and catering to all our guests last June 14th 2019. From the start to the end, everyone was very …

helpful and professional. The staff went far beyond our expectations and really couldn't have helped us anymore than they did. Mary the wedding co-ordinator was excellent at taking any of our requests for the day and planned everything meticulously. Alan also did an amazing job on the day by managing everything and making sure everything ran seemlessly. We also want to thank Paddy for having an amazing venue and all was very presentable and the gardens were kept very well and tidy. The Honeymoon suite was fabulous too with its very comfy bed and spotless room, the balcony was great too as we were able to watch the sunrise in the morning as our first as Mr and Mrs. The catering staff were great as there was no delay in getting any of the food out to everyone all at the same time. They were very helpful and courteous and always made sure that any requests were seen to. The chef couldn't have done any better as the food was very tasty and well presented too so top marks to the chef and kitchen crew. We can see how the Shamrock Lodge has won so many awards in the past as the whole experience was perfect with a very well managed team of staff to help out and deal with everything. Thank you all for having us and our wedding at your venue and we hope you have many more years of success in the future.

Anything I asked of Mary, Alan, Warren or any of the staff was answered. They really do go above and …

beyond. From a checklist at the beginning, meetings in between to finalise all the minute details, to a list of vendors nearby, which I thought a lovely touch. As a family run venue it is really lovely to know they support local business. If I could use one word to sum up dealing with the lodge it would be personal. You really aren't just another wedding, you and all your guests really are vips. 100% recommend the shamrock lodge Hotel for your big day!

Where to start with Paddy and his team. We celebrated our wedding day Friday 8th August and from the minute we walked in to view the hotel to check out. Not one single thing would I change or complain about. Everybody had a fantastic day and the food was amazing. The ballroom, gardens and suites …

were in pristine condition. Fabulous setting for a wedding.

When we went to visit Shamrock Lodge, their brochure and website said 'Let our family take care of yours'. After hearing a lot of similar promises from other venues, we didn't realise how true to life that would become for us by choosing this venue.

We were looking for a venue that had enough …

rooms to suit our wedding in the middle of the country as everyone was travelling to it. From the very first viewing, through to planning the wedding from Northern Ireland, the evening before the wedding, organising suppliers and the big day itself, nothing was left to chance, every detail was thought about and while we are at the centre of everything, the staff and owners at Shamrock Lodge had it all under control.

When we came down from Northern Ireland to look at venues, to be completely honest, we just visited Shamrock Lodge as we were in the area. We met with the lovely Mary and felt that we were genuinely welcomed as opposed to being just another wedding viewing. When we left that day, we had no doubt in our minds that we would be getting married at Shamrock Lodge and we would entrust the most important day of our lives to their capable hands.

We felt like we should have invited Alan, Paddy and Mary to our wedding, as they became like friends in the run up to the big day thinking of little things that we hadn't thought about. Our guests loved the accommodation (hotel and apartments) and friendly staff. For our food options, we wanted something that wasn't on the menu for our starter and it wasn't even the slightest issue when we asked for it.

I'm sure lots of brides and grooms will say the same of the venue they chose but I would urge anyone who is considering holding their wedding here to take the plunge and do it. They are some of the nicest people we have ever met and while we might seem to be gushing a little, it is totally justified - having your day at Shamrock Lodge will make it a day that you will never forget for all the right reasons.

The staff and management at the Shamrock Lodge Athlone are amazing and they made our wedding day outstanding. Their attention to detail is second to none and no task or request is too big for them. All the little touches we explained and invisiged were met to a T. Our arrival was made so special …

with complimentary piper and staff made sure to guide us in under the shelter of umbrellas. Our guests really enjoyed the suite with bar solely for wedding party. The food was 5 star, it was tasty, hot and plentiful, all our guests commented on the excellence of the food. The service was prompt and attentive. The gardens were perfect for our photos once the rain had died off. The use of the card letter box was extremley helpful and safe this put us at ease. The next day they had gathered all of our belongings for ease on check out. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge as a wedding venue and if there was a chance to give a 100 star rating then I really would. Outstanding grounds, staff and service. Our extended thank you's to all at the shamrock lodge that made our day amazing. Jennifer and Shane Mulleady.

most amazing and best days of our lives. In the week building up to the wedding Alan Warren and Paddy made everything so easy for us and as you can imagine our minds went blank with the situation that we had been faced with, but these guys ensured nothing was forgotten and they couldn't have offered to do more for us. our wedding consisted of over 300 guests but with the sercive, we received you would think there was no more than 20. The staff where excellent. The meal was fabulous and the room decor was simply amazing, it was as if the guys took the image of what I had always wanted my wedding day to be, and made it a reality for us. There slogan reads "let our family take care of yours" and they truly did. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

guests comment on how it was the most relaxed wedding they had ever been to; the reason for that is because how relaxed we were, knowing that we were safe in the hands of the staff there.

What can I say about our wedding day back in 2009, only positive things. Right from the outset, the interaction with both Paddy and Alan was easy anything we wanted wasn't a problem.
The family-run atmosphere cannot be denied and for both Mike and I there was nowhere else we wanted to get married. …

The food, atmosphere, service was 100 % from start to finish. All of our guests commented on the day and how much fun it was, we are still getting comments on it!
For me, a wedding is all about good food, good atmosphere and most importantly good service and without any hesitation, I can say confidently the Shamrock Lodge and staff delivered on each one brilliantly.

We had the most amazing day. The Shamrock Lodge family/team could not do enough for us. Best place for any kind of occasion.

Cannot give a high enough rating to Paddy, Alan and all the staff - a total hidden gem for your wedding day. Location, grounds, food and of course most importantly service all 100 %. Growing up in Athlone it was the place to get married and still is ......that says it all.

I got married in the shamrock lodge and had my reception here also. The staff could not do anymore for me and my husband. They made our day so special. Can not thank them enough. They really deserve to win.

Absolutely top notch venue for a wedding.

We had our civil wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, Athlone on 26 Oct 2018. The planning & organisation was made so easy by the professional help & advice from the hotel management & staff. Out of the 160 in attendance almost 50% were attending the Lodge for the first time. The feedback we …

received & continue to receive was very satisfying with the most common statement of "the best wedding I was ever at" coming from all of our guests.
The venue is top class in every respect. We couldn't have asked for a better layout for our ceremony.
The break-out room after the ceremony was tastefully decorated where people had the chance to meet & greet before the meal. The meal was just perfect. Beef or Salmon was well received with full compliments to the chef.
The reception room was perfect for the occasion. Management were always on hand to ensure everything went according to plan. They left no stone unturned to allow us to relax and enjoy an absolutely fantastic day.
Thank you very much to the Staff & Management for a truly memorable day.

On deciding on a date for our wedding, we arranged to meet with the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. After an initial meeting we didn't even consider any other venues as we immediately knew that there would be no better place to host our special day.

From the gorgeous gardens, to the amazing atmosphere, to …

the fantastic food and the outstanding packages, the Shamrock Lodge caters for everyone.

Alan, Mary and the team provide the highest possible standard of customer service and look after you and your guests superbly. They even assisted us in hiring a black and white dance floor and chiavari dining chairs. However, this was just a personal preference for something a little different.

The place looked absolutely incredible and we will be forever grateful for the wonderful wedding day we shared at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel!

Since our wedding I have told lots of people about our happy experience with the hotel and would happily recommend it to any couple looking for a wedding venue.

"Let our family look after yours".

Not just a catchy marketing slogan, but from the minute you meet with Paddy, Alan or the team at the Shamrock Lodge you feel like you are part of the family.

My parents and sister all held their wedding receptions at the Shamrock Lodge so there was never any …

doubt in our minds as to which venue we would look at first, and from that first coffee with Alan we knew we could trust him to look after us on our wedding day.

From a relaxing lunch in the bar the day before the wedding where Paddy comfortably assured us that everything was in hand for us the following day - while simultaneously entertaining An Taoiseach at the Launch of the Flood Risk Management Plans which was happening that day in the hotel and with RTE buzzing about, we never felt like the team were overstretched or that we were of a lesser priority to all of the high profile guests in the hotel that day.

To the day itself when the team thought of EVERYTHING - putting up our decorations, teas, coffees and nerve calming beverages sent to the grooms room and welcoming all of our out of town guests - some of whom were so impressed with everything have been back since to enjoy another stay, the whole day was seamless and we never once had to check up on anything allowing us to really enjoy our day.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Shamrock Lodge to any couple for their big day!

We had our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel in August 2018 and we were so happy from start to finish with everything.

On the day of the wedding, we didn't have to think about anything related to the reception as the team at the hotel had everything covered! You could see everything was being looked after and that really was a great comfort, so we could enjoy our reception. They were all so professional but also provided that personal touch. Our wedding guests loved the menu and the food was just perfect.

We highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel for your wedding venue. It's clear to see why it's such a popular hotel for weddings.

Thank you so much to everybody at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

We got a real sense of a family business that wanted to give their customers a fun but yet professional …

experience and thats why we decided to hold our wedding there. The staff are absolutley wonderful, Mary & Rory are a credit to the hotel they are polite, warm, helpful and really lovely genuine people. Alot of our guests commented on the staff. The gardens are so pretty with a tree lined driveway perfect for photos. The reception room is so beautiful and romantic with soft lighting, floral or various candle centrepieces and the big bows on the chair covers which I haven't seen any where else add a little extra to that sauve and romantic feeling. The dinner I could not fault and is very generous as is the evening buffet. The bar staff were also lovely, well mannered and very good humoured engaging with all our guests. There is ample parking for all gueats and we liked the fact that it felt like our own private hotel with nothing to interupt our celebrations. From all the hotels we viewed The Shamrock Lodge stood out a mile. Well done and thank you to Paddy, Alan and all the staff.

Thank you so much to everyone at the Shamrock Lodge for making our wedding day as special as possible, the care we received from both staff and management was amazing.

My wife and I got married in June of this year. We had the civil ceremony and the reception in the Shamrock Lodge. All the staff were so helpful, right from the very start. They were advising us on the band and the photographer as well as other things for our big day. They definitely went the extra …

mile to look after us. In our opinion it is the best place to have our big day and we wouldn't change a bit of it. It's located in the centre of Ireland which meant that there wasn't too much time for our guests to travel. The weather on the day was fantastic. We had been talking to Alan and Paddy on the days leading up to the wedding and they suggested that we have the civil ceremony outside! Our family and friends were saying how good the weather was and the Shamrock Lodge were excellent to take advantage of the great weather. I had been there before for other weddings and I knew that we could rely on the food. They matched our high expectations and as always the food was top notch. They catered for all the guests for the dinner. We cannot thank them all enough for making our day so special. We will be forever grateful to all the staff. For other couples to choose the Shamrock Lodge for their wedding reception, it would be a no-brainer. We would definitely recommend The Shamrock Lodge for anyone thinking of having their civil ceremony or wedding reception there.

We cannot thank The Shamrock Lodge Hotel enough for our perfect day. We have been at weddings here before so when we got engaged there was no question on where we were going to get married.

We had our wedding at the shamrock lodge last February and it was everything we could have dreamed of. Mary and her team were brilliant throughout the whole planning process and were delighted to accommodate any request we made. Everything on the day was seamless, the staff were brilliant and the …

To start off we couldn't thank the shamrock lodge hotel enough for all they have done for us they made sure we were well looked after no matter what we needed big or small, very friendly staff they couldn't do enough for us. We got married in the hotel and we didn't have to worry about anything we …

were able to enjoy our day would recommend this hotel to anyone for weddings or any other. The hotel was so open to me having extra things brought to the hotel such as a photo booth which is amazing for little kids and that. I would also like to thank Alan mc caul for such an amazing day he couldn't do enough for me and my husband literally there is not enough words to say thank you to this hotel for what they did for me to make my special day so memorable and able to look back. It's even better that it's a family run hotel and you know you will be well looked after. From the staff to the main manager thank you so much for all you have done for us as a couple, it's a day I will never forget. If we wanted to change things around the hotel was open to that the way the room was put for people sitting I was so pleased we couldn't have picked a better hotel to have our wedding day and I'm so happy we went with the shamrock lodge hotel. Thanks so much again for all you have done for us it's a day we can look back on almost over a year ago and say wow what an amazing day no worries just relax and enjoy your day. If I could do it all again I would go back to the shamrock lodge hotel.

We had our wedding on the 29/09/18. This was the 1st hotel that we had viewed and after speaking to Alan and listening to what he had to offer we did not look anywhere else.
On the day of the wedding we could not fault a thing. We had our reception in a lovely room with champagne and canapés and …

the guests were brought to the ballroom for the meal afterwards. The room was decorated beautifully, we had provided our own centrepieces and everything was laid out exactly as we had wanted. The food was fabulous and the service even better. We were looked after very well, Alan & Warren were there all day to make sure all went to plan. Nothing was a problem and they were happy to provide any request we had. We are delighted we chose the Shamrock Lodge for our wedding, I just wish we could do it all over again!

George and I have been together for over 30 years. The last 26 of these were spent living and working in Bahrain. We have always been encouraged by our families to get married but we never felt the need. Last year whilst on holidays in Portugal with my younger sister and her family George and Fiona …

were talking and they decided that it was about time. George decided that he was going to plan the wedding in secret and surprise me!! That surprise lasted until we were at Lisbon Airport on our way back to Bahrain when in his excitement he let the cat out of the bag. Anyone who knows George will not be surprised by that. Anyway, the wedding planning was, of course, passed on to me! We decided on the Shamrock Lodge as our venue because my late parents had held their reception there in 1957. A few years ago I had made contact with Mary Glynn with a query about my Mum and Dad's wedding breakfast menu and we exchanged quite a few messages and photos at the time. She was delightful in her enthusiasm and willingness to spare the time to chat to a complete stranger about an event that happened 50 years ago. Once George and I had decided to marry I contacted Mary again and from that moment to the day of our wedding on the 20th of September 2018 she could not have been more helpful. We arrived in Ireland on the 8th of September 12 days before our big day. We met Mary and the team a few days later for the first time. As expected they were all so warm and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our day special. The venue was so intimate and special and looked beautiful. The ceremony was perfect for us. They helped my brother Brian to organize the music and all of the music we had chosen sounded perfect on the day. The Piper was a wonderful touch. The food was lovely and endless throughout the day. The service was excellent and we were made to feel so special. The bridal suite was lovely and the 2 complimentary rooms much appreciated. Thank you all for a brilliant day.

We recently had our wedding at the Shamrock Lodge and from the initial meeting with Warren we were so happy we picked there as our venue. Paddy, Alan and Warren went over and beyond in helping with the big day and I hadn't to worry about anything in the lead up to it. The food was excellent and all …

the staff were so friendly and helpful on the day. I would highly recommend this venue to any couples who are getting married. It is an excellent family run business, very homely atmosphere for both us and guests. We would like to thank Paddy and the team for all your help along the way. Thanks for everything on our wonderful day.

Having been at a few weddings in the Shamrock Lodge in recent years, we know that it was the only place for us when we finally set the date for our big day. From the very first day we called in to enquire about availability in Summer 2018 to the big day itself, Alan and his team couldn't have been …

more helpful and obliging. On the day, we had no shows, additional children and special dietary requirements, but nothing phased the team in the Shamrock Lodge. We had our entire wedding there - ceremony and reception, and the one thing we keep hearing back from guests is that it was a brilliant day and one of the best weddings they have ever been at. The food was fabulous, the decor was gorgeous and the service was outstanding. On your wedding day, you want to be able to relax and enjoy yourself, and thanks to the care and attention to detail from the team at the Shamrock Lodge, that is exactly what we did.

We had our wedding in The Shamrock Lodge back in April. I knew from as soon as I got engaged that I wanted to have my wedding here as I had previously attended weddings here and had seen the excellent quality and service that was provided. Once my husband met Alan it didn't take long to convince him …

either. And they did not disappoint. We have nothing but good things to say about the service we received. Having planned our wedding while living in the UK, Alan and all the staff were nothing but accommodating to us and anything we wanted or needed was provided no problem. The day before our wedding, Steven and our guests and family from Scotland received an extremely warm welcome and were made to feel at home. On the day of our wedding, both Steven and I and all of our guests (both Ireland and Scotland) were treated so well that people still speak about it today. Our meal was fantastic with more than enough food being served. The service from the staff was impeccable and they couldn't do enough for us. Extremely friendly staff both at front of house, in the bars, reception staff as well as accommodation staff all helped to make our time there memorable for all the right reasons. Both Paddy and Alan run a top notch service while making it so comfortable that it feels like you're part of the family. Our wedding coordinator Mary also couldn't do enough for us and for that we will always be grateful. But we always say that you can always tell if it was a good day by the way people keep speaking about it for a long time after - and our guests still do that. So Paddy, Mary, all the staff and especially Alan, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day a day to remember.

We were married in the shamrock lodge hotel on the 17/08/2018, everything was amazing on our day and we wouldn’t change one single thing. Even the build-up was amazing, from picking our menu prior to the big day was done perfectly, we were treated like royalty by all the staff and couldn’t fault …

one thing. The venue was decorated beautifully and the food was out of this world. The service was spot on compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff, our families and guests are still raving about our wedding and that means so much and a big part of that is because of Alan and Paddy, two true gentlemen who couldn’t do enough for us and our party. Thank you so much for a day we will never forget.

From the minute we stepped onto the premises and met Mary we knew this was the hotel that we wanted to have our special day in. The hotel is so cosy and the staff make you feel at home and the grounds surrounding the hotel are spectacular and just perfect for outdoor pictures. From the lead up to …

the day Mary/Nicola could not have done enough for us. On the day Alan took the lead and ensured everything was how we wanted it and that we were happy. The food was delicious and all ours guests enjoyed the meal and there was no one left hungry as the food kept coming. The bar was open until late and no one was rushing us out after closing. The next day on check out even with another wedding taking place Alan still ensured to make sure to see us and make sure we were happy checking out. We had drinks and dinner before we left that day and everything was divine. I have no regrets for picking this hotel and will be using it going forward for any family events. Its a lovely clean family run hotel and the only thing that's on the agenda for them is to make sure that their couple/guests are happy. I'm already looking forward to going back for our 1 year anniversary dinner. I could keep going on but anyone that is considering getting married or have a family event or company function this is the hotel to have it in, don't just take my word for it go check it out for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

We cannot speak any more highly of The Shamrock Lodge on how well they treated not only us for our special day but how accommodating they were to our guests.
From start to finish Alan, Paddy & Mary were amazing & extremely helpful with any questions or concerns that we had for our special day - no …

question or query was too big or small & the attention to detail was second to none.
Our guests were struck by the level of service provided at the reception & the meal is still a major talking point for all those who attended. Dietary requirements were not an issue & the choice available was excellent.
The Shamrock Lodge grounds were a perfect place to get our photographs taken as there is so much character and plenty of scenic shots for all weather.
Their one wedding a day policy makes each bride & grooms wedding day feel like it is the most important wedding of the year.
From the initial booking through to the day after our wedding, the team in the Shamrock Lodge were first class & from the bottom of our hearts we cannot thank them enough. Mary & Barry

When I first started looking for a venue for the wedding I read the venue reviews. Of course they were all very positive but what stood out for us was the fact that the Lodge was portrayed as a family run and nothing would be too much trouble ethos.

As I was organising my wedding from London it …

was vital that I worked with an organised wedding planner and Mary was just that.

We stayed at and visited other hotels, however although pleasant, modern and a bit corporate the friendly feel with every request being met, meant that the Shamrock Lodge could not be beaten.

The Lodge gave us the personal touch and all our guests were blown away by the superior service that they received, the amazing food and huge rooms. Some of the guests are planning a return visit.

From the bottom of our hearts a huge thank you to all the staff at the Shamrock Lodge.

We had our Wedding in the Shamrock Lodge on 5th October and what a day. We attended a Wedding Fair held by the Lodge and met with Paddy and instantly fell in love with the place and ended up putting down a deposit there and then. Mary, Paddy, Alan and Warren genuinely could not have done any more …

for us. Every email I sent with all the silly questions was answered promptly by Mary. They treated us and our families with such kindness and respect and nothing we asked for was too much trouble.

We had enquired with a few places before we decided to have our wedding day with the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and none were particularly interested as it was a small family wedding. This could not be further from the truth with the Shamrock lodge hotel. The service we received was absolutely …

outstanding. From the first phone call we made until the day we left we could not have asked for anymore.
Mary who we planned our day with was exceptional. It is rare to meet someone who goes above and beyond what is expected to the extent she did. This is someone who is professional, patient, considerate, kind and does things with such a good heart. No request was too big or small. She made us feel more than special. Along with the other staff who catered to us on the wedding day we could not have been happier. The food was delicious. Our room for the wedding was beautifully decorated. Simply fantastic.
The Shamrock lodge hotel are an example to other hotels in how to provide outstanding customer service. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much again for everything. Roy and Carolina.

Had my wedding at the Shamrock Lodge on the 19th May. Would just like to say a massive thanks to all the staff at the hotel for making our day ever so special. Special mention to Warren, Alan and Mary ye really could not have done any more for us. Having our wedding here just made our day. …

Everything was just perfect. Ye made sure that our day went so smooth. The detail that was provided was second to none. Even the minor detail was just as important as the big things. There really was no stone left unturned. The meal we had was just fantastic. I heard no one complaining and believe me I had some fussy ppl at the wedding. Having my wedding at this hotel, everybody went way above what we expected to make sure that we were treated like royalty.
This is a family run hotel and they make you feel like just like the family. Anybody thinking of having their wedding in this hotel, trust me but ye won't be disappointed. The only fault I could have was that my wedding day went just so quick and that was because we didn't have to worry about a thing. (So it's not a fault). Even my guests were saying how good the service at this hotel. From the day we booked our wedding here we never had to worry about a thing. Everything was looked after from start to finish. It just left us with nothing to worry about. Having our wedding here was just a little piece of heaven.
Any one looking to have their wedding here, ye won't be disappointed and it will be hassle free. Best wedding venue I was ever at. Make sure to have your wedding here.
From a very happy couple, Emmet and Amanda Rock xx

Myself and Malcolm got married on the 2nd of June. We were so trilled by the day itself and we found the shamrock lodge an amazing venue.

The Shamrock Lodge was the perfect venue for our guests to celebrate our perfect day,
Paddy, Alan, Mary and all the staff offered first class service from the moment we came to view the venue 12 months ago until the day we left after our wedding, this was the first time many of our guests visited …

Ireland as we are from London and the Shamrock Lodge was perfect as it's only a short walk into town where our guests were able to enjoy the many exciting things Athlone town has to offer.
No request was to big for the amazing team & everything was made simple and as easy as any bride would want, especially organising from overseas.
I just wish I could do it all again as the day was a true fairy tale & ever single thing was perfect. We will definitely be coming back to visit with our friends as we all had such an amazing time,
Many thanks

The Shamrock lodge absolutely pulled out all the stops to make sure my wife Suzy and I had the best day possible, we cannot express how much we appreciate all their support leading up to the day and especially on the day itself, thanks so much guys!

I would recommend the shamrock lodge to everyone especially if you are looking for a amazing wedding experience. Thank you Allan,Paddy and Warren who went above and beyond for us.

Alan and all the staff in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, thanks so much for making our wedding day so magical, the food was fantastic and staff very friendly. We felt so welcome. Definitely would recommend this hotel for weddings. Thanks again guys.

The Shamrock Lodge Hotel is without doubt, The best venue to have your wedding. The Grounds in which the hotel is situated are very picturesque and ideal for all your Wedding Photo's. We had our full Wedding , Ceremony and Reception, at the Hotel and the Management and Staff were very professional . …

There was nothing they wouldn't do to help out.
The food at the reception was top class and was served very quickly. All our guests complimented us on our choice of venue and remarked that not many of them knew the Hotel existed.

The Bridal suit had been upgraded during the year and was very warm and comfortable.

All in all we were extremely happy with our choice of venue for our very special day and would have no hesitation in recommending The Shamrock Lodge Hotel as an ideal choice for your wedding.

We got married in The Shamrock Lodge on January 2nd 2016 and I cannot compliment the Hotel enough for the way we were treated. From our initial meeting with Paddy and Alan McCaul, to when we checked out of the hotel after the wedding, we felt part of the family that is The Shamrock Lodge. The hotel …

was decorated beyond our expectations when we arrived and I have to admit a wow factor when we saw how the Ballroom was prepared and presented for our reception. The food which was served was of 5 star quality, and substantial amounts of it, and it was commented to us on the day by our guests and indeed many times since how delicious it was and indeed how it was presented. The attention to detail by staff on the day was noted by all but it would be remiss of me not to mention the duty manager of the day, Warren Samuels, for his professionalism and courteous nature shown to us and our guests. Any request we had on the day was dealt with immediately and without any fuss.

All in all we cannot thank and praise The Shamrock Lodge Hotel, and their wonderful staff, for assisting us in making our wedding day so memorable.

On 17 May 2014 my husband and I had our wedding reception at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. From the day we booked the hotel 2 years previous to the day we checked out 2 days after our wedding, Paddy, Alan, Deb, Warren and all the staff were absolutely amazing. Their personalised service was exactly what …

we were looking for, their motto of " let our family look after yours" is a motto this wonderful hotel delivers on, this hotel will go above and beyond helping you make the biggest day of your life the easiest and most fun! The team puts so much energy and enthuasiam into helping you, you feel like your wedding is as important to them as it is to you. We live in Sydney and planning a wedding from there at times could be stressful but we never worried about our venue. We met with Paddy several times before the big day, he personifies the word "True Gentleman". We would've been lost without his support. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, the hotel went above and beyond on the day with their service and hospitality. The Shamrock Lodge is the only place, I believe, in Ireland anyone should get married! You would not get this personalised service from other multinational hotels. Our guests were from all over Ireland and the world and they are still raving about the hospitality that was shown to them on our wedding day. Thank you Paddy and all your fantastic team for making us feel like we were the first couple ever getting married at your hotel! That's how special you will feel at the Shamrock Lodge! They make dream weddings come true! X Olivia & Tim

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and it was by far the best and one of the easiest decisions we made in the whole wedding planning process. We cannot speak highly enough of Paddy, Alan and all of the staff in the Lodge who made our day seamless from start to finish and one we will …

always cherish. From the fabulous food to the friendly and professional staff, we could not have asked for more. The Shamrock Lodge took all of the stress out of the wedding planning process leaving us to thoroughly enjoy our big day. So many of our guests commented on the great food and lovely homely atmosphere apparent in the hotel. We are so happy we celebrated our wedding in the Lodge and would highly recommend this hotel.

Everything we asked of Alan and his team was never a problem and he couldn't do enough for us! From the moment we met, I knew what an amazing man Alan and his team would be in organising our Big Day and he certainly went above and beyond for us. The sincerity and friendlessness of welcomes we received any time we were over was superb and our families and friends are still raving about you all.We have a great connection with the hotel now and can't wait for more visits.

We had our wedding here last Saturday. Over the years we've had many different functions in the Shamrock Lodge. From 21st to Football functions. Each occasion is memorable. When we planned our wedding, the first thing we wanted was to have our reception in the Shamrock Lodge. Through the years we …

have attended numerous weddings and had great days and nights, so for myself and Nicki this was the place for us.
Last Saturday we had our ceremony and reception in the Lodge. It was the best day of our lives and we will never forget what Paddy, Warren and in particular Alan McCaul and all the staff for the way they made our day so perfect.
If you're ever planning a wedding or any function, don't pass up on the opportunity to make it special in the Lodge.
Their slogan is 'LET OUR FAMILY LOOK AFTER YOURS'.
And that's exactly what they did. Thanks all and we will never forget our day.

calm ,the reason for that was we had to worry about nothing, everything was perfect for us. the drinks reception was top class & the chocolate fountain was a major hit with everyone, the meal was amazing(i was eating my mains & got side tracked chatting to my guests so my meal went cold, one of the waitresses noticed & replaced it with a hot one without me even having to ask- i thought that was just so lovely), the afters food which is my favorite part of a wedding was exactly what i asked for & guests were commenting on how tasty it was & how there was so much of it,the bar service was 100% all day & night, & the honey moon suite was fabulous i loved the room so much, we have a little two year old there was a place for her at the top table & a travel cot set up for her too. When we walked in the day of our wedding Alan told us he was going to give us the best wedding day possible ...... and he definitely did .

I have to say that the shamrock lodge and all the staff were excellent,they were there every step of the way for us and the food I can't compliment them enough it was perfect..The shamrock lodge is definitely the place to have a wedding.

From the moment we started our planning for our wedding May 1st 2015, we knew the Shamrock Lodge was the only place for us. We had planned a festival theme from the get go and Alan, Paddy, Warren and all of their team could not have been more accommodating. With over 50 coloured Chinese lanterns and …

metre upon metre of bunting to be hung, they never made us feel like any request was too much and that was just the start of our decorating.

Our entire day was made memorable by how easy Alan had made everything for us. Our day flowed naturally without a hitch only made possible by the attention to detail and dedication to perfection that the Shamrock Lodge has. All of our guests commented on the warmth of atmosphere in the hotel and how welcome they were made to feel. Our meal was spectacular in taste, timing and presentation, and a credit to the kitchen and waiting staff.

We will never be truly able to capture in words how grateful we are to the management of The Shamrock Lodge Hotel. Each time we called to the hotel even for minute details we were always greeted with a smile, a coffee and a warm welcome. They made our day the success it was. Ours was the plan, but they executed every last detail better than we could have ever imagined. They will share a special place in the memories we have of our wedding

Alan was so down to earth, realistic and unbelievably helpful and accommodating. We had looked at numerous venues prior to visiting the …

Shamrock Lodge but none of them were on par or had a wedding coordinator as personable as Alan. We told Alan exactly what we wanted and he arranged everything without having to have meeting after meeting with us. It was straight forward and effortless for us and we had the most amazing day of our lives here under the care of Alan, Warren and their team. The food was incredible! Our guests are still raving about it almost 3 months on. Booking this hotel was the best choice we ever made - it made our wedding! I cannot thank Alan, Warren and team enough for the exceptional job they did for us on our big day, it was incredible. Thank you! :)

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel on September 9th and from our very initial inquiries with Mary Glynn, the wedding co-ordinator, everything went like clockwork. Everything was so well organised. The hospitality was fantastic, the food was excellent and the staff were so helpful and …

friendly on the day. Even the night before I was onto the hotel a few times, checking if different items were delivered to the hotel and they were so responsive and pleasant to deal with. It was so easy and stress free. Having the civil ceremony in the hotel was very convenient for the elderly guests at the wedding.
The bridal suite was beautiful, breakfast the next morning was fantastic and all the staff were so friendly. Everyone who attended the wedding told me afterwards how much they enjoyed the day and commented how excellent the food and service was. I would like to thank Paddy and Alan McCaul and Mary Glynn for all their time and effort and indeed all the staff at the Shamrock Lodge for making our day so special. I would highly recommend it to any couple who are planning their big day!

The Shamrock Lodge Hotel was just outstanding. From when we first met Alan, we knew we would have no worries. He is so brilliant to work with, and no job is too big for him.

We got married in the lovely Shamrock Lodge on the 23rd of April this year. We had heard rave reviews from some friends that got married there and from the minute we spoke to Alan, the manager, and looked around with him, we could see why it was so popular. We had also both been to a lot of weddings …

here and the food and atmosphere was always lovely.

From the get go Alan, Paddy, Mary and the team were so good to deal with. Nothing was too big a request or too silly a question. At our meal tasting we got enough food to feed a small army and Alan was so open to any of our suggestions.

On the day itself we had a ball. The food was great, everyone was raving about it. We got a lot of comments from people saying they felt it was very relaxed and the hotel was very homely. We were so delighted that people had a great time and that feedback was positive.

The barmen were also very obliging to us late into the night and we all had a blast, no one moved us out of the ballroom and they let us continue on with our sing song with no hassle.

We had a lot of guests stay over the second night and again the hotel was so good and they really looked after us on the second night too.

Overall we are so delighted that we picked the Shamrock Lodge in Athlone. We are in a town packed with hotels and venues for weddings but I would have no hesitation in recommending here as it is family owned and run, the staff are so good to deal with and we had an amazing day.

Thank you so much,

We cannot rate the Shamrock Lodge high enough, they were so helpful and accommodating they made the planning of the day so simple and stress free.
We recommend anyone who is looking for a wedding venue to call down to them and have a chat with Alan.
Thanks again for everything.
Nessa & James ♥

My wife and I git married only last weekend on the 13/2/16. From the day we booked with paddy and his son Alan we couldn't have asked for anything more friendly and useful service. If we need a penny they would give us a euro in return. The most nicest friendliest family hotel and staff we have ever …

met. From doing up our dinner list to sampling it their wasn't one fault. They tried to meet our budget as much as we tried to make sure they were happy too. As for the food itself everyone has complemented us on the choice but their is no way we could have done it if it wasn't for the staff of the lodge. They were the ones who cooked it to serving it so we know we couldn't have had a good experience without them.
Thanks so much and if anyone ever wants to ask just give the lodge a ring and I know for a fact they won't hesitate in answering any questions.

From the day I got engaged I knew I would be having my reception here. We got married 11/09/2010. The hotel was fab. Paddy,Warren,Alan and all staff members were outstanding. They could not have possible done anymore for us and gave us a reception we would never forget! The whole day was brilliant. …

We had a big wedding and nothing was a problem to them. They were so professional. I would highly recommend the Shamrock Lodge for your wedding reception. It's like home from home& you really are treated like one of the family!
Thanks again!

We had our wedding reception in the shamrock lodge on the 22nd August 2015, there is not many words as to how I can describe this hotel. From the moment we booked the date with paddy and having several consultations with both Alan and paddy, nothing was too hard for them to do no matter what we …

requested. On our arrival to the hotel the date of our wedding we were greeted by Alan and Warren, the interior, the decoration, and the food was outstanding, everyone was talking about it. The staff were so friendly and professional in their manner and again I want to thank them all for such a fantastic service they provided for all our guests. I would highly recommend this hotel for your dream wedding reception, nothing but 5 stars given.

If you are looking for a fantastic venue for your wedding we 100% recommend the Shamrock Lodge
in Athlone.

We had our wedding in the Shamrock Lodge on the 18th of July 2015 and couldn't be happier with
the venue we chose. The hospitality from Alan & Paddy McCaul and all the staff was top …

notch, everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and down to earth.
From the very first meeting with Alan, the Manager, we were made to feel welcome and that nothing would be a problem with planning the wedding. We live in Australia but even this huge distance was no problem as we had numerous calls and emails with Alan to keep us up to date with anything we needed to do. Nothing we asked for was an issue, they really are professional and make the whole wedding venue planning process actually easy and fun!

We, our families and guests had a fantastic weekend, we honestly cannot fault anything , we had so
many compliments about the food and service, everyone went above and beyond to make sure we
were looked after perfectly. Alan was personally there for the whole wedding day to make sure we were happy and that everything was running smoothly.
The hotel has been newly renovated and all of our overseas guests were very impressed with the
rooms. We also took advantage of the lovely gardens and different areas of the hotel for our
photographs on the day.
Our whole wedding experience was amazing thanks in a large part to the Shamrock Hotel, we are really looking forward to going to my sisters wedding there next year.

The Shamrock Lodge staff was incredibly helpful when planning and executing my entire wedding day. They worked with my family in planning because I live in the States, along with countless emails back and forth. When my husband and I arrived, they went over all of the decisions that were made. The …

staff made sure everything was perfect for us and our traveling wedding party.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to us as guests.
