From the first day we walked into the Lakeside, Catherine and her team went above and beyond to look after us. Everything was laid out for us clearly. Catherine was always available to answer any questions we had and provide support and guidance in the lead up the our wedding. The staff were incredibly accommodating in the lead up to the wedding.
On the day of the wedding the entire staff were incredible. Upon arriving to the hotel, Catherine took us straight to the ballroom to allow us time to have some food and a glass of Prosecco before getting more photos done. She also allowed us time with the rest of the bridal party to have another drink and time to sit down before being introduced to the guests.
The service during the meal was so efficient and on the ball and we never had to ask for anything, everything was brought to us. Thomas and Emma were also exceptional and consulted us about the food and the band and when they were ready to get going.
We had the best day at the lakeside and our only complaint was that the day went too fast!
Thanks to Catherine and her team for making our day so special.

From the moment we stepped foot inside the reception, we were greeted by the warm, friendly face of Catherine. We knew from this moment that this is where we wanted our wedding reception to take place. No question went unanswered and no request was too big or too small. Catherine and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. Our guests are still talking about the quality of the food on the day. And we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Lakeside to our friends and family.

We had our wedding recently in The Lakeside Hotel and were delighted with the entire experience. Every person working there from the front desk, catering staff, house-keeping were very friendly and helpful.

Our guests loved the venue and all of the food on the day was highly complimented. We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to avail of the outside ceremony space which was beautifully decorated and very scenic. Would highly recommend The Lakeside Hotel and the wedding team to anyone.

We had a wonderful wedding day at the Lakeside hotel. From the moment we met Catherine, the wedding coordinator, we knew we were in safe hands. Catherine was so friendly and always quick to respond to questions, nothing was ever a problem. The gardens in the hotel are beautiful and perfect for wedding photos. The food on the day was 10/10. We could not fault the venue, would highly recommend them for your wedding day!

Wow, what can we say! We got married at the Lakeside, and they were absolutely incredible. The hotel itself is fab; in an amazing setting, beautiful rooms, and stunning gardens. The food both on the wedding day and the meals we had around it were brilliant. The wedding meal itself had so many compliments from our guests. Our guests enjoyed the facilities in the hotel too, the leisure centre in particular! The thing that made it all so special was the Lakeside team. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful and attentive and couldn't do enough for us and our guests. Catherine and the wedding team did such a brilliant job, and nothing was ever too much. Everyone else in the hotel made sure everything went smoothly for us all, so we can't thank you all enough! If you are considering the Lakeside for your wedding, do it!

Emily and I had our wedding here in July 2024 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience or a more magical day.

The hotel is wonderful, cosy but with very generous rooms, a brand new bar overlooking Lough Derg and a fantastic event room. But the real highlight are the grounds and location of the Hotel itself. We were married outdoors on the rooftop overlooking the Lake and we got so many comments from people that it felt like a Mediterranean wedding more than a typical Irish wedding.

The views are spectacular and the garden itself is absolutely beautiful with multitudes of colour and again fantastic views overlooking the lake and Killaloe.

The food was fantastic, not just the dinner but the Reception Hors d'oeuvre, midnight food and the snacks! Very generous with the reception drinks and wine included in the package as well!

The real highlight though for Lakeside is the staff themselves (special shout out to Catherin the wedding co-ordinator). No ask was too big or question too small for us when reaching out to the Hotel in planning. Communication was always super quick so we felt very comfortable and at ease that everything was in hand.

I genuinely don't know how we would have organised our wedding without Catherine. From the first time we met we knew this was the hotel we wanted to get married in. She was so warm and friendly but also extremely organised and professional with a thorough brochure and breakdown of what a wedding day in Killaloe would look like. In the build up to the wedding she was consistent in checking in with us and making sure we had outlined to her the various details and plans for the wedding itself!

The rest of staff on the day were excellent as well, very friendly & efficient. Everything was kept on track even with potential for plan changes due to weather. During dinner, bar service and night food. Breakfast in bed the day after was real highlight!

I would recommend the Lakeside to anyone planning their wedding!

We celebrated our wedding at the Lakeside Hotel, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we set foot on the property, we knew we had found the perfect place to say "I do." The Lakeside Hotel captivated us with its breathtaking views, exceptional food, and top-notch service—and they did not disappoint on our special day.

Catherine, Sinead, and the entire team were extraordinary from the very beginning. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel at ease right away, and their commitment to making our wedding day perfect was evident in every detail. The staff at the Lakeside Hotel are truly in a league of their own—highly trained, attentive, and always ready to cater to every guest’s needs with a smile.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how incredible everything was, from the delectable meal to the impeccable service and stunning venue. The praise was unanimous—everyone was blown away by the entire experience.

Throughout the planning process, we had the pleasure of working closely with both Catherine and Sinead, and they were nothing short of amazing. They accommodated all our requests and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding day was flawless. Their meticulous attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills allowed us to relax and truly enjoy both the planning process and the day itself, knowing that everything was perfectly under control.

If you’re planning any private event, especially a wedding, I cannot recommend the Lakeside Hotel enough. They will make your dreams come true and give you a day you’ll cherish forever.

You won’t regret it!

Many thanks,

We had the most amazing experience planning our dream wedding with Catherine our wedding coordinator and all the lovely staff at The Lakeside Hotel.

From the initial meeting, we were made to feel right at home. We had a large number of people coming to our wedding, therefore a lot of requests were given. There was no task too little or too big. From the personalised menus for our food tasting to Catherine setting up our sweet cart and personalised gifts at the tables, the staff were organised, and friendly and did everything we asked. People are still talking about the food that we had at our meal to this day.

I couldn't recommend this hotel enough and especially Catherine the wedding coordinator who was instrumental in putting the day together. Thank you for everything!

Myself and my now husband had our special day at the lakeside on may 31st this year. During organising the wedding we moved abroad and Catherine the wedding coordinator made it so easy between zoom calls and emails I didn’t have to worry about anything wedding related when it came to the hotel, dinner or even rooms. No question or task was too big or small for Catherine what a coordinator and I’ve heard a great soleminsiter. Great team on the day of the wedding also from reception to bar staff there was nothing else we could of asked for they were all so friendly and helpful. Last but certainly not least one of most important things in my opinion at a wedding was THE FOOD. Every guest complimented the food from the starters to the desserts everything was delicious. We will definitely be recommending the lakeside to any of our family or friends who are getting married in the future.

We’d highly recommend The Lakeside Hotel as a wedding venue. From the first time we met Catherine and Sinead we knew it was the venue for us. From start to finish they ensured that the wedding planning process was stress free and were always available to answer any questions we had. Everything on our wedding day was perfect, Catherine and Sinead had everything organised to a tee. The decor for the ceremony and the reception was fabulous. Our guests are still raving about the food 4 months later. Every member of staff was so helpful and polite. We honestly couldn’t have asked for any more from a wedding venue.

When we viewed the lakeside Hotel as a potential wedding venue we knew straight away we wanted it as our venue, Catherine and all the staff were so welcoming and the package was fantastic value for what we were offered. Catherine and her team were so helpful if we had a question or needed advice they were always quick to respond. Our wedding day was fantastic and everything went exactly how we wanted. We had so many compliments over the quality and quantity of the food from the drinks reception to the late night food so much food and no went hungry. At the drinks reception we had a good selection for food, drinks and just a few weeks before the wedding Catherine offered a Donut wall for no extra charge so we were delighted to have that. The layout of the ballroom was fabulous we had a choice of decorations and table decor we chose a mix of candlebra and cherry blossoms. Catherine also helped us with ideas for photos along the entrance to ballroom, helped print QR codes we used for what's app group, we had activity books for children the staff were happy to put on their seats in ballroom. We used the grounds outside for family photos and got lovely photos and fabulous views overlooking the river. Overall we were delighted to have picked the Lakeside hotel and grateful for all the work Catherine and her team did for us. We would highly recommend to any couples considering the Lakeside Hotel.

The ceremony was nicely crafted by Catherine she really does personalise it to the couple. I would now class Catherine as a life long friend! The service from the lakeside hotel was amazing. The food was so delicious! And the views for the outdoor ceremony were amazing! I couldn’t recommend Catherine or the lakeside more!! If I could do it all over again I would change a thing.

Myself and my husband Brian got married at The Lakeside Hotel in March this year. It was the most perfect and special day. The Lakeside Hotel is the most perfect location set on Lough Derg.

We could not have asked for a better day, from the drinks reception to the meal, the decor, accommodation to the service we received. Our wedding coordinator Catherine was so helpful in the lead-up to our big day making everything stress-free and fulfilling any requests we had.

So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the meal was and what an amazing day they had. This hotel has always been one of my favourite hotels but it will now hold a special place in my heart. I could not recommend this hotel for a wedding venue enough, they really go above and beyond for their wedding couple and I am so glad we chose to get married in The Lakeside Hotel.

From the moment we visited the venue, we just knew we wanted our wedding to be at The Lakeside Hotel in Kilalloe! The atmosphere was relaxed, classy, warm and inviting. Catherine was excellent all the way from start to finish with her positive, supportive and informative nature. Everything I asked for was responded with a calm 'no problem'. The day went very smoothly and many of our guests commented on how excellent the staff were and the attention to detail in individual dietary requirements. The food is delicious. The rooms are spacious and the hotel is very clean. We would highly recommend it for a wedding venue as there is nowhere like it in the Limerick/Claire area.

What can I say, Catherine is an absolute delight to have worked with throughout our wedding planning experience. She is exceptional at her job. From the first point of contact Catherine was extremely warm welcoming and put our nerves and any concerns at ease. From an indecisive couple who can never make a decision on the most easiest of things Catherine really helped us think of what we wanted for our wedding day and helped us with tough decisions. The Lakeside Hotel is a beautiful, relaxed venue. It's staff go above and beyond ensuring that your food, stay and experience is to the highest of standards. I would highly recommend both The Lakeside and Catherine to anyone who is looking for a stress free wedding day.

From our first meeting with Catherine, we knew The Lakeside was the best choice for us. Beautiful setting, fabulous staff and nothing was a problem. Our wedding day went perfectly from the minute we arrived. Our day started with an outdoor ceremony in the garden and it set the tone nicely for the rest of the day. Excellent meal and service. All our guests had a lovely experience.

What can we say about our wedding day on the 10th June 2023 at the Lakeside Hotel. Sinead, (one of the wedding coordinators), she was so professional, we could not believe how everybody and everything ran according to the schedule. Catherine, the other wedding coordinator was a dream to work with in the lead up to our day. She kept us informed on everything that was happening with the hotel.

All of our guests have done nothing but rave about the location, the food and the staff who where very professional in the tasks they were doing.

We can't thank you both for keeping everything so on point even with the last minute decision to move indoors, from what Owen said you had all of outside and inside set up on the Friday ready to go but Mother Nature had other plans so you had to change everything very quickly ! All I can say is wow you guys really know how to work under pressure!

We would recommend the Lakeside to anyone looking to get married or hold their reception there as you have such an VIP and homely experience from the very beginning. It was lovely to see that they wanted to get to know us as a couple more then just wanting the business of our wedding.

We cannot recommend the Lakeside enough. From initial outreach to after the wedding, both Catherine and staff were on the ball. So responsive and quick to provide suggestions and recommendations, you can tell they are experts in organizing your perfect day. As we live abroad, a lot of our calls were done via zoom but Catherine was flexible with meeting times and really went out of her way, making it it personal to us. In terms of d?cor, they have a variety of styles to chose from to transform the ballroom, so for someone who is not too creative, it was so nice not to have to worry, knowing that Catherine & staff would make it aesthetically pleasing, without it being OTT. The service on the day was next to none, we were treated so well and the food & portions were perfect. The packages they provide are very flexible, definitely value for money, and having adequate rooms available for guests is an added plus. Both the waterfront cottages and hotel rooms were very reasonable and ideal for guests coming from out of town. As well as the service and amazing food, the venue itself is situated by the water which provides for beautiful pictures, there are different gardens and hot spots for the photographer to snap away! I would highly recommend Catherine and the Lakeside to anyone looking for a stress-free, perfect lakeside wedding.

I wanted to bring in a few little pieces as decor for our wedding- a tree and a bike to name a few and yes was always the answer! The staff and Catherine were just fab! Just to note that my decor wasn't needed- Catherine and the team has the place beautifully decorated! It was just stunning! Picture Perfect!
The staff at the Lakeside were very friendly and helpful to our guests on the day. The feedback from our friends and family was just brilliant! The were full with delicious food- thanks to the Thomas, the hard working chefs and waiters!

Catherine should get a raise!
I had complete confidence that I could fully rely on Catherine for every detail. Throughout the whole process she was on top of everything, quick to respond to emails, never forgot anything that we had mentioned and kept methodical notes every time we met. She always appeared very calm, organised and on top of her workload as if we were the only clients she had on her schedule! In the busyness of the day we forgotten to make sure that the photographer and videographer(who had travelled from Dublin at 7am that morning) were offered a meal on us. We were so disappointed that someone hadn't mentioned it to us on the day and so emailed the photographer and videographer to apologies only to be told that Catherine had actually looked after them on the day without even getting us involved! So fantastic and proactive!
So many guests commented on how amazing the food was, it was served really hot and as one guest observed...?it wasn't just hot from sitting under a heater? it was hot from being timed perfectly and everything tasted amazing. The presentation of the food to the top table was fantastic, from the staff all wearing white gloves, to the ceremonious synchronised revealing of each course, very theatrical, I loved it!
Every time I have visited the hotel, every member of staff I have met have been such a pleasure to deal with, this is probably the feature of The Lakeside that I have been most consistently impressed with....and the food! This was also something that was mentioned by guests, how lovely and well trained the staff were, especially the two younger guys serving in the residence bar, at that hour of the morning were still full of smiles and good humour.
The grounds of the hotel and gardens looked amazing. We decided to put the bridal party and our parents into the new waterfront suites and they were absolutely blown away by them.
I couldn't have wished for anything more from The Lakeside and we are so thrilled that we chose it for our wedding reception.
We will be back again soon! Thanks everyone.

We had our wedding in the Lakeside in May 2019. We shopped around a lot but it was actually the wedding manager Catherine that made us choose this venue. It was the only place we left where we felt like we just had tea with an old friend. She made us feel at ease and comfortable. From the beginning she also had some great suggestions too to help in our planning. Packages weren't set in stone and things could be moved around easily. It was a different atmosphere in the hotel too, after booking we would often go for a drive and have Sunday dinner there and everyone we met there was so friendly and attentive. Our wedding day went seamless then, Catherine had thought of things we had forgotten about. We got a lot of comments from our guests on the amount of food and drinks on arrival, that was particularly nice. Also the meal itself was everything you could possibly want. Overall I?d highly recommend having your wedding at the lakeside. We were able to personalize with anything we wanted and nothing we asked about was a problem!

I couldn't fault the Lakeside Hotel in anyway, I would highly recommend the hotel to any couple. Catherine was on hand to answer every question we had, she was there to help in any way and offer support and advice. We planned the wedding from London, and I honestly don't think we could have done it without Catherine! On the day, all the staff were outstanding. So helpful and attentive. We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on the grounds, the food, the staff, the rooms. Everyone raved about the hotel, and lots of our guests have booked to stay in the Lakeside again!

I really would not hesitate to recommend the Lakeside to any couple

We chose the Lakeside for it's location, setting, and for it's reputation for weddings, and we were not disappointed! The Lakeside surpassed our expectations across the board. Catherine Lewis is a fantastic wedding and events manager. Any request we made was dealt with so smoothly, she is so approachable, warm, and very organised! The day went so smoothly, and we attribute this to the incredible organisational skills of Catherine, and also the rest of the team. The staff at the hotel during the reception were very professional and efficient, while Thomas ensured the smooth operation of the day. Even details such as having some food and prosecco put aside for us when we came out of the ceremony (which was much appreciated). Overall, I cannot recommend this team enough for the organisation of a wedding.
We had a humanist ceremony in the hotel, and so many guests commented on the amazing turnaround from ceremony setting to dinner setting of the ballroom. The staff transformed the room from ceremony to reception and the room looked gorgeous.
We highly highly recommend this hotel for a wedding, and are so delighted that we went with them. We wouldnt change a thing!

We can't compliment the Lakeside enough. The venue is beautiful, well decorated. The garden outside, overlooking the river and town of Killaloe was an absolute dream. We were so lucky. Catherine was so much fun and so organised and helpful. In the hectic days leading up to the day she kept us on track. The food was amazing. Compliments to the chef. Everyone was delighted...and stuffed. The function room had loads of daylight streaming in so you didn't feel like you were in a bunker, which is common in a lot of hotels. It was beautiful. Highly recommend the place and it's wonderful staff.

Dear Cathy and Rory, Thank you for your lovely detailed review, we were honoured to host your wedding here at The Lakeside Hotel, I was delighted that you got to have your ceremony in our hotel gardens.

I can not recommend highly enough the Lakeside hotel to host your wedding and indeed as a place to stay.
It is an amazing hotel, with top level personal service, in a beautiful setting.
Even though it mainly hosts larger wedding events, we had a small, intimate ceremony with lots of specialized requests, which they could happily accommodate.
Eoin, Catherine and the team there were essential to the planning and offered great guidance to us.
During the day itself , they basically ran the show and we could not have asked for it have been better .
It really was special.

From Start to Finish, we had the best experience ever imaginable. When we met Catherine Lewis for the first time out in the Lakeside she sold the Lakeside to us with her lovely, witty personality.

Catherine was very approachable at any time of day and she made us at ease with any special requests we had for our wedding Day.

All of The Lakeside staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the many times we visited the hotel.

The day before our wedding we dropped out our belongings that were needed for the following day. Catherine and the hotel staff did a super job in arranging everything we had in the most suitable places.

The Food was amazing and our guests are still commenting on how lovely the food was and how big the portions were.

The Hotel is spotlessly clean with gorgeous bedrooms looking out onto the River. The Reception Staff were very helpful to us when allocating rooms to family and friends.

Both Vincent and I would like to Thank the Lakeside Staff for everything they did for us. We both would highly recommend the Lakeside hotel to all newly engaged couples and you will be in safe hands in the hands of Catherine Lewis.

We felt instantly at ease when we went to view The Lakeside as a possible venue for our wedding. The decor of blues and grays were exactly the type of thing we would pick ourselves and as we chatted to Catherine by the fire, we knew there was nowhere else we wanted to have our wedding.

This is a hotel who really have everything you are looking for - the view can be seen from nearly every window, the hotel is warm and inviting, and the function room glittered with backdrops of fairy lights. As we walked down to the function room I kept commenting on the decorations - every single one of which were available to brides to be. The fuction room was an ideal size - big but not cavernous. I remember thinking how bright it was and perfectly set up for a night of dancing and craic.

Catherine was a dream to work with - recommending vendors, checking in to see if things were on track - she was really thorough in finding out how we wanted the tables to look and adding to them in such a beautiful way. She has so much experience that it makes planning a breeze knowing that both she and the hotel is not something you have to even worry about. On the day of the wedding she was on hand, making sure everything was perfect - we couldn't have asked for more.

The hotel made our wedding incredibly special - the service in the hotel from the waiters to the service desk to the wedding team were second to none. The food at the wedding is still being talked about and we have eaten there before and since because it is guaranteed quality each and every time.

This hotel is modern, comfortable, has amazing food, service and views, and is exceptionally good value. What more could you ask for? We intend to have many family functions here through out the years. Thank you again to the amazing staff at The Lakeside Hotel

Many friends and family have complimented the venue since - particular mention to the food served. Specific praise to Catherine on how well she looked after us on the day - it was the small touches that made the difference. We really appreciated it. The Lakeside Hotel is a venue I couldn't recommend enough for anyone's special day.

We had an amazing wedding here!!! The day ran so smoothly from start to finish. Catherine is just the most amazing wedding coordinator, she was great in the run up and on the day, and really went out of her way to help with anything I asked about. The rest of the staff are also lovely and friendly. Our guests had a fantastic time, they were all so impressed with the food, great quality and lots of it! And the hotel itself is really very impressive.
We had our ceremony in the ballroom and it really was beautiful, the hotel has really made it a beautiful space for a ceremony. We had been hoping to have it outside on the lawn but the weather didn't allow, in the end though we were delighted with the ballroom, it was really nicely done. We had enough good weather for photos outside in the beautiful gardens and under the trees.
We had looked at so many different ideas for venues in the area, from golf clubs with a marquee to using a local pub! In the end, we were delighted with our choice, it was so easy and comfortable for everyone, totally stress-free, and worked for the whole event. Couldn't recommend them enough!

The Lakeside Hotel was the first venue we visited when we started our wedding research. From that first meeting with Catherine we knew the Lakeside was where we wanted to have our wedding reception. The hotel itself had a lovely homely feel and all staff made us feel welcome.
We were very happy with the wedding package on offer and we felt that any requests we had regarding menus/decor etc. were met. The food on the day was beautiful and the portions were very generous - many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding meal they had ever had. All dietary requirements were catered for during the main meal and during the reception/evening food also.
Catherine herself was brilliant to deal with. We know that she has so many weddings to coordinate, but she really does go above and beyond for every couple. She shared in our excitement about the prep, responded to all queries/comments promptly in the lead up and she was great to have around on the day itself. We could rest assured knowing that if any problem arose, Catherine would deal with it. She also made sure the function room looked just as I had envisioned!
We had a day after BBQ at the hotel and the organisation of this was so simple and the food was gorgeous again. The hotel organised music for that evening free of charge.
On top of all that, the location is stunning with many locations around the hotel and nearby for photos. We would definitely recommend the Lakeside :)

We recently got married in the Lakeside hotel Killaloe and I honestly do not know where to start! We were treated like royalty from the first day we went to view the venue. The pre wedding meal tasting was incredible, a night of sheer indulgence! Catherine went above and beyond on the wedding day, it was like she was able to be everywhere at all times! She was there when we needed absolutely anything. She even got candle wax off one our guests suit trousers!! She went above and beyond her call of duty, we were incredibly impressed. The staff at the lakeside are so skilled, they are experts when it comes to wedding yet they make your wedding so unique and special for you. I am so looking forward to going back to the hotel to celebrate anniversaries and meet the team again! They were so cool, calm and collected and helped us in every way possible which saved us so much, not only money but also stress! They made the entire day stress free, relaxed and lots of fun! Our guests are still raving about the food on the day, it was divine and everyone was stuffed which is always a great sign at a wedding! We are very thankful to Catherine and all the team at the Lakeside for a smooth, relaxed and fun filled day!

The feedback we have got from all our guests in the aftermath has been brilliant. The food has been highlighted by all as been exceptional and plentiful, it was very evident that you and your team left no stone unturned in the preparation of the hotel, on the day. We cannot speak highly enough of all the staff also who were brilliant throughout the day. We can honestly say we would not change a thing about the day and the Lakeside exceeded our expectations

We had both our reception and Humanist ceremony at the hotel. From the moment we arrived at the hotel and for the following 4 days, we were treated like royalty. No one at our reception (as we travelled from Cork) had ever been at a wedding or stayed at Lakeside except for immediate family who have stayed here (and have now been back since). Every guest fell in love with the setting, the hotel, the food. The day/weekend was faultless and we are both so grateful to Catherine Lewis and all the staff for making our wedding so magical. We did not worry about one detail from the moment we booked our wedding as we knew we were in safe hands. I had many guests at the wedding who have worked in leisure around the world and all said the service/food etc was top class. We both feel so lucky to have chosen the Lakeside hotel as we could not have chosen a better venue. We were married outside in the garden which was extra special/beautiful. Catherine and the team made sure the reception room was spot on, it was just beautiful even without us buying any extra wedding bits, they did such a good job there was no need for us to add anything else. Many of our guests have been back to stay at the hotel and are looking to go back, that goes for us too, we cannot wait to head back. The Lakeside hotel will always be very special to both of us and our families. One of our guests turned to my husband the day of the wedding and said, I'd hate to be Pat(who is due to get married) having to follow this day, you could not beat a day/location like this. Since the wedding Pat has been back and looks like he will be having his wedding here also.
Our guests are still raving about the pre-drinks reception and food, the meal and the evening food. You certainly won't find a better venue than the Lakeside. My only wish is that we lived closer to Killaloe as this is one of the best settings/venues you will find.

ur wedding celebration at The Lakeside Hotel went beautifully. All was expertly managed by our very professional wedding co-ordinator Catherine Lewis, from the early pre-planning many months before to managing the events on the night itself. The venue itself is lovely, situated right on the banks of the Shannon; the premises are good and the dinner was excellent, the various dishes served with prompt panache to all tables ? seemingly concurrently ? by the attentive waiting staff. The fine and varied menu was evidently prepared by a very good chef and kitchen team. Our sincere thanks go to Catherine and all concerned for making this a smoothly-run and joyous occasion. We could not have chosen better. Roger and Fiona

Friends and family gave us nothing but positive feedback about the hotel, stating that it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere that felt more like home than a hotel which is exactly what we wanted.

I don't think there is a single other wedding venue that could come close to the perfection of The Lakeside Hotel. Their ideal location on the Shannon with those amazing views, the exceptional professional yet personal service, the modern finish to the interior of the hotel...not to mention how tasty the food was and the quantity was very generous.

Everything was done with such professionalism and responsiveness we had the most stress free wedding, which says a lot since we were planning from abroad. We have heard nothing but rave reviews from family and friends about the food and service.

Tommy & I got married on the 22nd July 2017 and had our reception in The Lakeside Hotel, Killaloe. Catherine Lewis, the wedding co-ordinator is just absolutely fantastic at her job - We cannot put into words how grateful we are to herself and all of the team at The Lakeside. Catherine, Eoin, Ashlynn, Jen - They are all incredible people and they all make the place what it is - the personal touch and how all of the staff just want to go out of their way to help in anyway they can is what makes this venue so special. They all made everything so stress-free and nothing was too much trouble. We are so delighted we chose it as our venue - We got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing and friendly and helpful all of the staff were, how homely and welcoming the place is, how nothing was too much trouble - Everyone really goes out of their way to assist you in anyway they can. The Lakeside is very well known for their food and my god it is just amazing, even the fussiest of eaters wont be able to complain - All of their dishes are first class and there is so much of everything and everything just tastes so delicious. For anyone looking to choose their venue, The Lakeside won't leave you disappointed - Being from East Clare it was so lovely to have the wedding close to home and show all of our guests what a beautiful part of the world it really is. We have lived in Perth for the last 6 years and it was so lovely to be back on home soil and to show everyone where I call home - We had guests who travelled from all over the world and they all loved the place. It really is such a stunning part of the country - It has everything you could ask for, the most picturesque setting imaginable on Lough Derg, beautiful gardens, great food, wonderful staff, lovely accomodation, great leisure facilities and so much to do if you want to go for a wander down around the village and explore...10/10 from start to finish. Our wedding day was just a dream, they have their own jetty as well and we arrived into our reception by boat which was just brilliant. Day 2 was just fantastic as well - The team put on a fantastic BBQ for us all and we had a lovely trad session looking out over the lake, it was just the bestest weekend from start to finish and I'm sad it's all over. Can't wait to visit again on our next trip home from Perth - Just top class as a wedding venue and we cannot rate it highly enough.

Dear Anne-marie & Tommy,
Thank you so much for compiling such a wonderful and positive review of your wedding at the Lakeside Hotel . It is very rewarding to receive a response like yours. As a team we like to make sure each wedding day is very personal and meaningful to the couple . We will do everything we can to go out of our way to help in anyway possible. It is very humbling to know that the reason you did choose The Lakeside Hotel was because you wanted to showcase to your guests how beautiful 'home' is. I can certainly agree The Lakeside Hotel with its location and promising views exceeded your expectations. I think arriving by boat made it even more special. We look forward to welcoming you home again and back to the hotel in the future. I hope you are enjoying married life. Best wishes for the future.
Kind Regards, Catherine Lewis [email protected]

We had our wedding at the Lakeside Hotel in June this year. We cannot praise the hotel and staff highly enough, especially Catherine Lewis and Ashlynn Moloney. From the day we booked our wedding, over two years ago, the level of professionalism and service has been impeccable.
We had our wedding ceremony in the picturesque gardens over looking the lake. On our big day, Catherine and Ashlynns attention to detail had surpassed our expectations.
The food was delicious! We have often eaten at the Lakeside Hotel and every time we enjoy it more than the last.
Our guests are still talking about how exceptional the entire day was from start to finish.

We just had our wedding here on Sat 8th of April 2017.
From the minute I met Catherine I knew she would go over and beyond to make our day just perfect, and that's exactly what she did.
Everything was amazing from the decor, gardens,staff, and food. All 5star!!!
Everybody is still talking about the meal and how good the food was, saying it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding.
The staff were exceptional all so professional and friendly. Food was piping hot and served at such a high standard.
THE table layout I had imagined was exactly what was done. Everything was the way I described.
Could not have asked for anything else.
Both Catherine and Ashlynn are amazing at there jobs, I would highly recommend ye.
Thank you for making our wedding so special.

My wife and I visited this beautiful hotel several times over the year and a half and it was so very reassuring to see Catherine Lewis the wedding Co-Ordinator deal with my bride Michelle on all aspects of our wedding. She was excellent in every way and I am so delighted we chose this venue. William in the bar was exceptionally accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Nothing was ever too much trouble for any member of staff. Ashlynn is dedicated to her role as is Thomas committed and energetic in ensuring all needs are met. I cant possibly speak any higher. Michelle had a long list of things she wanted to do and Catherine and her team 100% delivered. We were happy and even people who didnt attend the wedding approached us afterwards saying they heard how fabulous it was.

Our wedding was absolutely the most wonderful day imaginable because of the service received at the Lakeside Hotel Killaloe. Catherine Lewis is simply the best wedding co-ordinator any couple could wish to deal with, Her team are also on point.. her sidekick Thomas is brilliant and food&beverage boss Ashyln is also an absolute darling... the bar and waiting staff are wonderful too... really good attitudes you would be proud to have your guests here.... We didn't have a multi-million euro budget... However... we absolutely did have a multi million euro wedding... we couldn't possibly have got better or more prestigious from an alternative venue.... I promise you this.... YOU WILL NOT GET BETTER... best team... in the best hotel... best facilities... ambient... welcoming and perfect in every way in the best location in Co Clare if not Ireland... I just wish we could do it all again..... nothing was too much trouble... I cant find a bad thing to say... BOOK HERE... I spent a year and a half feeling like an absolute VIP in the run up to our big day.

We live in Queensland, Australia and opted for a small intimate family destination wedding in Ireland and were first drawn to the Lakeside for it's incredible setting, and also due to their great reputation and value for money.

We found the Lakeside Hotel to be an incredible wedding venue and one that all our guests loved. We organised our wedding from overseas and found the wedding coordinator, Catherine Lewis, to be phenomenal and extremely accommodating. We also found the staff in general to be highly professional and extremely helpful, especially as a number of our guests were from overseas and didn't speak English.

We had a humanist ceremony in the hotel itself, and the Lakeside helped to make the ballroom look awesome! This goes for the reception also: the room looked great, very atmospheric. The food was incredible, not only was it high quality but the portions were also very generous. This was a common consensus amongst all our guests.

The bridal suite is gorgeous with incredible views and the room has great vibes! Was a perfect place to get ready the morning of the wedding. Our guests stayed at the hotel anything from 1-6 nights and were happy with the accommodation side of things.

Our whole day was perfect, everything we hoped it would be and more! Would recommend having your wedding at the Lakeside in a heartbeat!

As the first time that I met you was the week before the wedding it felt like we had already met as you were both so easy to deal with in the planning of your wedding and on the day itself. As the photographs were a very important aspect to the day I am delighted that you got to get some taken outside on our hotel grounds which will always be part of your memories of the day .
I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and I hope that you both will come and visit us in the future

We had the most amazing day at the Lakeside Hotel. The management and staff are absolutely fantastic. The food was just out of this world. Everyone who attended our wedding spoke about how good the beef was for weeks after. Catherine was just fabulous. She was a fantastic support throughout. She told me from day one I would have nothing to worry about and by god she was 100% right. No request was too stupid or silly. Sinead who looks after the accommodation is such a lovely person also. She was brilliant and so ?accommodating? with all my changes to rooming lists etc. Everybody commented on how well presented the team are coming out and how professional they are throughout the meal service. Beautiful to watch from the top table when you are taking a brief moment to take it all in ? you don't get too many of them. No sign of waiters and waitresses wandering around a room with plates trying to figure out who is Beef or Hake. Each team came out with the manager, all to the one table and laid down the plates. I can't remember the F&B's manager name but she was fantastic organising the tables on the day. She also kept my top table in check for me ?
What I really liked about this hotel was the atmosphere and the warmness. It's a real family feel to it. The General Manager Eoin was also lovely and very supportive. Nothing is a problem at this hotel. To any bride and groom trying to choose a hotel I would highly recommend the Lakeside.

It can be so stressful organising a wedding but Catherine was so detailed and really put me at ease. No matter what query or issue I had she was amazing at sorting it all. They are such a friendly team and the venue is just so beautiful. The food was amazing and small things I noticed, such as the impeccable service, really made the day so special.

I thought planning my wedding in Limerick Ireland was going to be hard as I live in Boston MA..Was I wrong...From the moment I met Courtney/Catherine, Sinead and staff my worries disappeared. I have always loved the Lakeside since I am from Limerick however when Mark saw the hotel and grounds he fell in love with the place. Everything we ask for we got.Mark had ask thing fro the hotel and that was to have the American flag outside the hotel and he got it.From the first day we went there to see the hotel in 2014 untill our wedding day April 2016 someone was there to answer my questions on phone or email since I was 4000 miles away. Some of our guest who travel from American stayed in the hotel have nothing but good things to say about how helpful the staff were.We spend the whole weekend at the hotel.Our wedding was the Saturday and on Sunday we had a BBQ..On our wedding day everything was perfect.the food was to die for and the staff were amazing.We have nothing bad to say...We cant wait to go back there fro a overnight visit when we come home to Limerick...Wishing everyone there all the best..

We had our Wedding in the Lakeside in April 2016 and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Catherine helped us with all our planning and looked after us on the day. The weather was poor but we still got some lovely photos on the grounds of the hotel by the lake. We had eaten here previously and the food was excellent. The food and drink on arrival on our wedding day went down very well and the function room looked stunning. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly, we can't praise them highly enough. The main meal was even better than our previous tasting and the dance floor was the perfect size for our party (~130 guests plus stage and photobooth). The Bridal suit was spotless and well positioned...the breakfast the next morning was a nice extra. We look forward to going back again!

From the reception staff to the event managers they were always friendly, courteous and willing to help with anything.
The day of the wedding went so smoothly with no issues or problems. The grounds of the Hotel are absolutely beautiful and perfect for pictures.
Everyone I spoke to at the wedding commented that the food was the best they have had at a wedding and the service was next to none. If we could do it all over again, there would be nothing I would change about the venue or the service provided to us. Top class!

Myself and Shane would like to thank all the staff at the Lakeside for helping us in preparations for our wedding and organising such an amazing wedding for us.

Everybody has been complimenting the beautiful setting for the ceremony and the dinner, they were amazed by the kindness, helpfulness and the attention to detail by all staff on the day and of course said that the food was amazing.
Catherine made us feel very comfortable and at ease in the build-up to the wedding and on the day. It was great and such a relaxed atmosphere. She made sure everything was taken care of to the smallest detail. We had nothing to worry about all we had to do was turn up!
And even though we know there's weddings every week it certainly didn't feel like that in the build-up or on the day, we were made to feel very important.
Nothing was too much to ask from the table plans to arranging the trophy's and candles.
Aisling was also amazing in helping us in any way she could and ensured things ran smoothly on the day sh was great.
Sinead in reservations was great to accommodate any requests we had we were very impressed her helpfulness and she couldn't do enough for us.
Even the poor barman who was left looking after some guests till all hours did it with a smile on his face!

Everything was excellently organised and taken care of. We both wish we could do it all over again!
We honestly couldn't fault a thing?only that the day had to end!!

We are very glad we picked the lakeside to be the venue for our wedding. From day one when we meet Courtney they made you feel very special, they were very willing to accommodate packages to suit your needs. On the week of the wedding no question was too much or too late to ask. If they were under pressure they never let us feel it. all our guest were more than happy with the food, their accommodation and the over all setting . They took any pressure out of our hands. One of the only thing we would have liked differently would be to have the evening food served later or if this was not possible due to staffing to may have left the food out so guest could have it later as there was not enough time given, as guest were still full from the great dinner!!!

We got married in The Lakeside Hotel on Saturday 24th October. From the word go we were welcomed by the wonderful staff.
Courtney, Catherine, Sinead & Ashlynn were absolutely amazing and so helpful and reassuring. Every request was granted without hesitation. They were enthusiastic, warm and friendly on each encounter.
They were genuinely interested in making the day perfect for us.
The food was fantastic and the waiting staff were very professional and friendly. The guestrooms are very tastefully decorated.
So many people complimented the venue, food, rooms and staff.
I cannot recommend The Lakeside highly enough. Everything was absolutely perfect and fit for a King ;)

Our Wedding day itself was brilliant the food and service was fantastic, everything we had every wished for. However, it was the mentions from our guests over the weeks after the wedding that we received the most compliments, we were unaware of the lengths that the hotel went to accommodate our guests. thanks to Eoin, the fantastic team at the Lakeside Hotel for 5 star service, we have no hesitation recommending you strongly to any couple planning a wedding.

One thing I really loved is because of the way the room is laid out even though we had a rather large wedding it felt so intimate and extremely comfortable.
The hotel were so observant, some people arrived that were not guests and they were all over it and asked them to leave after checking they were unknown to us.
There isn't a single thing that they could have done for us to make it any better. From the day we first walked in for a viewing to returning on our 1st anniversary we felt like we were their biggest priority.

Thank you so much for making our wedding celebrations memorable. Your help & patience on the lead up to the day was most reassuring. Your attention to detail in the preparation of the reception room & your service on the day was faultless. The food was superb. We appreciate everything you have done, and can't thank you enough. Wishing you all the very best for the future.
