"There was nothing bad I could say about the Ardilaun, the staff, the food and the whole experience was out of this world, I would recommend the Ardilaun to anyone looking for a fantastic weekend"

"The Ardliaun Hotel was amazing in every aspect of our wedding from bar to the incredible food for the wedding from start to finish they went up and beyond to make sure myself and my new wife and guest were looked after.the room were grate to .would recommend anyone to go check it out you won't regret it."

"When we made the decision to get married at The Ardilaun we couldn't be happier and from the minute we made contact the communication was superb from the start all the way through to wedding. Nothing was any bother. Zara and Alison made us feel relaxed and at ease instantly. We live in the UK so planning a wedding in another country to where we live isn't easy. We were rest assured with nothing to worry about at all with the planning at the Ardilaun. The Wedding website they use is a fab tool to help organise the table plan and guest list and keep a log of deadlines for things to be done. When we arrived all the staff were very happy and helpful and all our guests said they loved the hotel and rooms and the service was professional and outstanding. The wedding day was perfect and every member of staff went out of their way to look after us. Alison was calm and professional and helped me (the bride) lots and kept me calm. I would recommend anyone getting married in Galway to put The Ardilaun at the top of their list."

"We had a wonderful wedding and all our guests were full of praise. Alison Carroll, the wedding coordinator, was extremely professional and pleasant to deal with. All of the staff were so nice and couldn’t have been more helpful. Nothing was a problem to them. The venue itself is fabulous: the ceremony room, the lobby for the drinks reception, and the main function room.

The grounds are gorgeous, though due to inclement weather we couldn’t take full advantage. The manager during the reception was so efficient, pleasant, and responsive to our needs, The food was excellent and all the staff were good humoured and helful right throughout the day and into the early hours of the morning. We have no complaints. Thanks so much for helping us to have a wonderful celebration with our friends and family."

"Every aspect, from start to finish was incredible. The staff leading up to the wedding were excellent and accommodating. On the day, every member of staff was high professional, helpful, diligent and went above and beyond to make the day perfect and care-free. The staff couldn't have done more for us and we really appreciated everything they did for us"

"Martin & I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to yourself and everyone that helped us make our Wedding Day in The Ardilaun so special.

From the minute we arrived with John, Conor and Alison meeting us at the front door along with our guests, I could feel that we were in the best of hands and this continued throughout the day and night.

The atmosphere at our Drinks Reception was so uplifting and this continued as we went into the ballroom which looked amazing and really left me speechless.

To the managers Kaitlynn, Jason, Josh, Paddy & Patrick and their fantastic food and beverage team and bar staff, the service was flawless and so many people commented to us on how friendly each and every staff member was and nothing was a problem.

To the kitchen team, the meal was TOP END and so many people remarked on it to us and how it was the best wedding meal they had in a long time.

To Catherine & Melissa in reservations, Loretta & Emily in accommodation, and to the reception team, thank you for looking after us and all our guests so well over the weekend and on the build up."

"We had our wedding on December 8th at the Ardilaun Hotel with 27 guests, and we couldn’t have been happier with how the day turned out. Everything was held in the Garden Lounge, where we had both our ceremony and our meal. This setup was perfect for us because it allowed us to rent just one room for the entire day, keeping everything seamless and intimate.

The reception was beautifully arranged, with drinks and food that were exactly as we had requested. Alison was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and on the day itself, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The staff and waitresses were all so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

Nothing went wrong (as far as we know!), and our family was just as impressed as we were with the excellent service and warm atmosphere. If you’re considering having your wedding at the Ardilaun Hotel, we highly recommend it – it was a fantastic experience from start to finish!"

"Alison, Patrick and the team were incredible. They had so many options for us in terms of packages and our guests were really catered to as soon as they arrived. Their kindness and positive attitudes helped settle any nerves because we felt in such good hands."

"We got married in the Ardilaun in December 2024. Alison and the entire team were just amazing and accommodating throughout the entire process. No request was too big.

We had the most amazing day and everything ran seamlessly. The Ardilaun really know how to do weddings and we could not fault anything. I’m just sad we can’t do it all over again.

Everyone commented on the drinks reception- there was loads of food and drink and the canapes went down very well. The dinner was divine and service was so efficient. The Prosecco and wine went down fabulously.

The staff were all so lovely throughout and couldn’t have done enough for all of us. Many of our guests commented on this.
Alison listened to us and was very responsive from the beginning. She is a superstar.

We had our day two there and so glad we did. Again, the food was superb and there was plenty of it. There’s a lovely atmosphere in the hotel which I think is so special and I’ve never experienced anywhere else like this. I would recommend a thousand times over!"

"We got married in the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway in July this year. It was truly a magical weekend. Galway city was eletric and the weather turned out good which is always a bonus!

We were very conscious of getting good value for our guests travelling from so far away ( Australia New Zealand and America. ) They were all really happy with the accommodation and value of it. Lovely breakfast provided, gym and pool facilities aswell as being so close to Galway city!

Alison was our wedding coordinator and was exceptional - all the staff were. Alison was always at hand if I had any questions or queries. We live in Australia so not being in Ireland was always a challenge but Alison was fantastic and really made me feel at ease.
The food was nothing short of spectacular, the staff were incredible and so accommodating to our guests. Our guests are raving about the whole weekend, the food, service and decor!

Highly recommend."

"We got married at the Ardilaun on 8th August and it was perfect from the start to the end all thanks to Alison and the team. They went above and beyond nothing we asked was too much trouble and they made us feel at ease for the whole duration. We had 140 guests from England & they have all said how lovely and accommodating all the hotel staff were! If your thinking of staying here or even better getting married here don’t think anymore do it!! I promise you won’t regret it, we wish we could do our day all over again & we wouldn’t change a thing. We will forever cherish the memories of our big day thanks to the Ardilaun & can’t wait to return one day. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Mr & Mrs McNamara"
