Thank you to The Shandon for making our wedding day very special, everything was perfect, so thank you to Joy, to the management team and all staff, from Brid & Marty Lynch

Our Wedding day was a dream come true. We got married at my home in Arranmore Island at 12 o'clock. It was a special morning and I loved being at home where I grew up on my wedding day. Our journey to the Shandon together was one to remember as we reminisced about our lives to date and about our …

friends and family who had gathered to be with us. I had such a sense of relief when I saw Joy waiting for us at the steps of the Shandon Hotel. It will be a moment that will stick out for me forever; not only was I being waited on (with 2 small children at home, this was a lovely feeling!) But I was met with a heartwarming smile, a big congratulations and a lovely glass of champagne. This moment for me was special; everything we had worked towards was here now, and it was time to celebrate! We met Joy in August 2022 when we got engaged, her way of working was that if we are organised, then she can work with us and there'll be no problems. And she was right! We relied on her a lot the last few weeks leading up to our day, and she was there on the other side of the phone and emails. The staff at the Shandon are all so welcoming and friendly and deliver their work in a way that is so natural. The food served to us on our wedding day was of an exceptional standard, all of our guests are still talking about the beef! We loved every moment of our wedding day, and we can't wait to get back to visit again soon! Thank you so much, Joy and all the team xx

Wedding at the Shandon
I got married in July. We had our reception in the Shandon. The service was nothing but first-class, and the food was incredible!! All my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were treated and how delicious the food was.

Joy, the wedding …

coordinator, made our day. This started well before our day with her superb organisation and calming nature. On the day there was an accident on route to the hotel. Thankfully none of our guests were involved and there were no fatalities. This meant myself, the groom and all our guests arrived late to the Shandon on the day. She dealt with the situation amazingly - keeping us calm which allowed us to have the most amazing day and pushing times back. Joy is absolutely fantastic at what she does and it felt like she was part of our family and friends on the day. She fitted in so well and my family all speak extremely fondly about her when reminiscing about the day.

Honestly cannot recommend the Shandon enough. We had the best wedding day thanks to the Shandon, especially Joy.

We had our wedding in the Shandon in October 2023! We could not have asked for a better team to look after us. Joy the wedding coordinator was absolutely outstanding. She was so good to us and was so helpful to us as we planned our wedding all the way from New Zealand. On the day Joy was everywhere, …

she was on top of everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything she had every detail covered.
The food was amazing with one of our guests saying it was the best wedding meal they have ever had! A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location with the most wonderful staff who made our day so special!

Autumn Wedding!
Myself and my partner Ben had our wedding on 7th October 2023 in the Shandon Hotel and Spa. We can not praise the Shandon, their staff and our wedding co ordinator Joy Evans highly enough. Our original venue fell through, and from the moment we approached the Shandon, the process …

was effortless. Joy was with us throughout the entire process, always answered any questions so quickly and accommodated all requests. A bride's dream! On the day, she liaised with our photographer and vendors and made sure everything went smoothly. Joy came to see us off the following day and helped us with all our wedding stuff , making sure it all came back to us safely. Joy really was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond!
