From our first enquiry with Nicole to meeting for a show around, we were honestly blown away. All of our questions were answered and nothing was any trouble. She is a dream to deal with, is amazing at what she does and has great attention to detail. Communication throughout was outstanding!! We also had our day 2 on the rooftop and could not fault a single thing! It was perfect. Thank you Nicole and The Loughrea Hotel for the best 2 days, we will never forget it

"From the second we walked into the hotel and met with Damien we knew we were going to chose loughrea hotel. He couldn't do enough for us on the day and took time to go through everything and show us the hotel.
Throughout the whole process of planning Nicole was fantastic. Always got back to emails super fast, even though we never expected it as we know she is super busy. She was s always very friendly and professional and on hand to help with anything .
The day itself was amazing from start to finish. Nicole had Teddy's for our page boy and flower girl when they arrived and we just thought it was such a lovely touch and so thoughtful .
The food was amazing all the guests commented on it and how much of it there was .
Everything ran so smoothly, no wait time for getting guests seated and starters out.
All the staff at the hotel at the hotel are so friendly and the staff that were working the night of the wedding were fantastic. So many guests commented on them and how good they were.
We can't thank the team enough for helping us have the most amazing weekend and we would do it all again if we could. "

Nicole, Damien & all the staff of The Lough Rea Hotel,
It's hard to believe it's been a week since our wedding in The Lough Rea Hotel & Spa!!! I know we were chatting to you during the week but we just wanted to put down in writing how grateful we are for everything that was done for us in the lead up to and on the weekend of our wedding. We have been talking to a lot of people in the last few days and everyone has nothing but positive things to say about the hotel.
From the reception on arrival to the meal and how well all staff engaged with guests, everything went down a treat! The traditional music on arrival has also been mentioned to us and was very much enjoyed. I met the two of them briefly as they finished but would like to thank them again. Also, our many thanks to Stuart, our fantastic car driver who helped to keep my very relaxed on the way to the church and kept my father busy talking about the connections they had in the town. He also looked after me and Colin on the way back to the hotel and made sure our prosecco glasses were topped up!!
On a personal level, Nicole you were fantastic to deal with and kept us both very relaxed in the build-up and we always felt assured that everything was under control. Any request we had, you obliged and always put our minds at ease. We loved absolutely every part of it and we were looked after so well over the course of the weekend. Your venue coordinator of the year nomination is well deserved!! You, Damien and the rest of the staff made sure that we were well looked after from start to finish and we are incredibly grateful for that. We are so delighted that we had our wedding with you and are both so happy with the memorable weekend that you all created for us!
Many Thanks,

If you're debating Loughrea Hotel & Spa or somewhere else, stop wasting your energy and get a deposit down!
We had a Galway or Donegal debate but after meeting Damien on one of the open days our decision was made within days after contacting cathedral & band, we were in paying our deposit. When I say Damien made it so easy for us, I genuinely mean it, he went through everything and all the packages listened to our non-negotiables, swapped and changed things to suit what we wanted. We briefly met Nicole on this day as she was with other couples, however some people would see planning a wedding in less than a year a challenge but with Nicole on hand its more than achievable with out consuming your whole life. We wanted a no fuss type of day and I think Nicole realised this when she landed to the 'getting ready' room and hour before our ceremony and I sitting ready sipping champers and enjoying the moment! Nicole set up the room exactly how I had described it, oval table, centre pieces, colouring pages etc.
Nicole was always at the end of an email with the answers to ALL our silly questions! I had to reschedule our pre-meeting & dinner tasting, again not a problem. When we did have our tasting Clayton was a dream checking in suggesting wines and explaining the whole process to us.
Now for the week of the wedding; we had guests in Galway from the Sunday and the hospitality they received was second to none! The food, service, spa, rooms all incredible. Some guests spent two nights with 1 dinner and B&B for the cost of 1 night in other hotels. They all thoroughly enjoyed not having to travel the morning of the wedding.
Rachel in the spa left me feeling amazing and ready for the week, Ciara in reservations helped manage all our room requests, Aoife made sure my glass was full all night & Julian searched the hotel for mams flowers the next morning!
The only negative comment from the day was people had eaten too much food! Always a good complaint!
THANK YOU ALL

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Lough Rea Hotel in September, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we began planning to the day itself, Damien, Nicole & the team at Lough Rea exceeded our expectations in every way.
The venue is stunning, with breathtaking views over Loughrea. The ballroom was beautifully decorated, capturing the elegance and atmosphere we had envisioned. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was flawless, from the table settings to the ambiance of the room.
The food was another highlight – our guests are still raving about it! Each course was prepared to perfection, with generous portions. The service was impeccable, with staff going above and beyond.
Special mention must go to the wedding Manager Nicole, who guided us through every step of the process. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire planning experience stress-free. On the day, everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
Overall, the Lough Rea Hotel delivered the wedding of our dreams. From the stunning venue to the exceptional service, it was a day we and our guests will never forget. We cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a perfect wedding location.

We got married at the Loughrea Hotel in August and it couldn't have gone any better.
We planned our wedding from Australia and Nicole and Damien made the entire process so so easy. No request was too much and they were there to help at every turn. Their responsiveness was second to none.
The entire lead up to the wedding was so easy thanks to Nicole's help and input.
The day itself was so amazing and again this was completely due to Nicole, Damien, Steven and the entire team. We didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything because we knew that every detail had been covered.
The food was absolutely delicious thanks to Clayton and his team, and there was so much of it, no one went hungry. Presentation of the food was spot on.
And of course, the lovely Pawel who looked after us long into the night, ensuring we had everything we needed.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for the most flawless day/night of your life.

People always ask "what's one thing you would of done different for your wedding"
Well.. absolutely nothing says I.
Hands down, you couldn't ask better of the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa.
Anything goes with them. If you wanted a singing Giraffe doing a parachute jump from a jet I bet Nicole and Damian would somehow pull it off!
Our day was astounding. Everything was seamless. Food, drinks, staff, atmosphere, and of course the venue itself was just epic.
Very lavish but also affordable and convenient for both ourselves and for our guests who booked rooms and of course who kept the drinks flowing.
Couldn't of asked for better , I am so thankful to both Nicole and Damian for my fairytale wedding and who were so obliging to my request.

From first visit to Lough Rea Hotel & Spa, we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our marriage. The hotel is stunning inside and has lots of modern features for beautiful photographs. The staff are so so friendly and helpful and on the day, they were checking in with us even late into the night. Nicole, Damien and the rest of the team are second to none and will go above and beyond to make your day everything you wanted it to be and more. Very responsive to emails and any questions we had were answered promptly and in detail. We also had our Day 2 in the hotel, a BBQ upstairs in the rooftop bar, which was perfect. The sun shone for the evening allowing us to chill out outside with family and friends and they even have heaters and blankets for the cool nights. The night porters were great fun amd interacted with everyone even in the early hours of the morning! Would absolutely recommend Lough Rea for Weddings 100% and would love to re-live our day all over again with them. Amazing team in a fabulous hotel

We had our Wedding Reception in Lough Rea Hotel & Spa and all we can say is WOW. From the 1st day we went in there, we were shown top class hospitality. Their Wedding coordinator Nicole will go out of her way to ensure that everything is perfect on the day and nothing is a problem at all. General Manager Damien, the rest of the management team and staff including house keeping are so friendly and never stopped checking that everything was OK on the day for us. We also had our Day 2 in the Rooftop Bar with a BBQ and it was amazing. They even have covered areas and outdoor heaters for the Irish weather! The hotel does not know how to stop feeding you and there was never a shortage of food or drink! Even in the early hours of the morning, Pavel looked after everyone with tayto sandwiches and had the craic with all the guests, he was brilliant fun! The spa also got use and were able to accommodate a big number of people in the thermal suites for those who needed recovery time!!! Thank You so much to all the team, we would do it all again with you if we could! 100% recommend Lough Rea Hotel & Spa. Maeve & Joe 6th July 2024

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Loughrea Hotel & Spa, and it was nothing short of perfect. Nicole & Damien, along with all the supervisors and managers, were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our day special.
The wedding decor and attention to detail in the function room were stunning. Every single member of the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, a number of our guests commented on how lovely they all were.
The food on both days was delicious, arriving hot and fresh, and received rave reviews from our friends and family.
Our Day 2 on the rooftop bar was equally fantastic and it also has stunning views.
We cannot fault the hotel or the staff in any way, we literally do not have one thing to complain about.
We highly recommend having your wedding here – it was the best decision we made and it made our weekend everything we wanted and more!

To Damien, Nicole and the whole team at Loughrea hotel,
From the bottom of our hearts we wish to thank you all so much for the help, support and professionalism you all provided to us and to our family and friends on our wedding day. From the lead up to the big day with your endless support and knowledge to providing us with ease of mind and security on our wedding day. The hotel looked absolutely amazing to the new carpets and revamp of the hotel to the exceptional food and service the staff gave on the day, nothing went unnoticed. Guests are still talking about the fun they had with Dj. Scruffy Duffy from the moment they walked into the room to the moment they walked out. The photos and videos speak for themselves. Having our Day Two on the rooftop bar was top class. It made our day private and secluded from the hotel, we felt like we were abroad. Food again was amazing for day 2 and each guest had comfort in knowing they didn't need to drive anywhere for the weekend and just park up and relax. Some guests really made the most of this and chilled and made use of the spa while they were there; as did we and this relaxation was just what we needed. This is everything we hoped for and dreamt of and the Loughrea Hotel has made our dream wedding come true. We will be forever grateful to you all and no doubt see you all soon along the way as we journey through life.
Thank you for making our special day so exceptional.
All our love,

The atmosphere, food and general running of the day was second to none. The food honestly was so delicious!!
Nicole was so helpful and replied so quickly to us and answered all questions we had. She was just fantastic at keeping everything calm and running smoothly and with her as coordinator we knew everything was under control!!
We are both so happy that we chose Loughrea hotel for our wedding as we had the most memorable and magical day!!!

I have been singing the praises of The Loughrea Hotel & Spa to anyone who would listen since our first meeting with Nicole a year before our wedding. We felt so confident in Nicole and her team. Her relaxed and professional manner was the perfect fit for us as a couple, and she was always quick to respond to any query and to give helpful advice. I totally trusted the team at the Loughrea Hotel & Spa and they made our wedding planning process easy and stress-free.
I enjoyed my wedding day fully from start to finish. I never worried for a second about the decor, food, service providers, timeline… anything! The relationship we had built with Nicole and the amazing service provided by Damien and the entire staff of the hotel allowed me to relax completely. This was the best gift I could have asked for on my wedding day.
We were treated like royalty on the day, and since our wedding we have heard countless positive comments from our guests about the venue. The food was simply excellent! Special requests were catered for without hesitation, and everything was tasty, fresh and warm. Especially considering our large number of guests, everyone was so impressed with the food provided from the beautiful hot and cold canapes at the drinks reception, to the exquisite meal, and the delicious late-night bites.
There is lots of space around the ballroom, and many of our guests appreciated the opportunity to use the drinks reception area throughout the night. We had a sweet cart, tayto wall, wishing well, centrepieces of choice, fabulous large pieces of decor, crisps sandwiches in the residents bar, everything we could have wanted provided by the venue. I had very little to do and I really appreciated this in the days leading up to the wedding.
In terms of value and service, we feel that The Loughrea Hotel & Spa is a true gem! I would recommend any couple to sit down with Nicole and see what they have on offer. Compared to other packages and venues that we researched, we were impressed from the start with how flexible and accommodating this venue could be.
And now, having enjoyed the wonderful experience of being a Loughrea Hotel & Spa wedding couple, I can say that my expectations were far surpassed. We had the perfect day for us, and I am truly grateful to the team at the Loughrea Hotel & Spa for making it so special.

Lough Rea Hotel and Spa was recommended to me by a colleague who had attended a wedding at the hotel some time ago. Absolutely delighted, I reached out as I now too don't have enough kind words to say about the whole team at Lough Rea Hotel and Spa.
Nicole and Klaudia were absolutely wonderful and no ask was too big. Mary looked after accommodation for our guests. A room upgrade to the bride and groom was a lovely and an unexpected surprise.
Aoife and the team looked after us on the day and we couldn't have asked for a better service. We were only a group of 8, and every single one of us had the teams' undivided attention. I can confidently say - Lough Rea Hotel and Spa can host a wedding no matter how big or small.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. They put us at ease from day 1 about planning the big day. We had come up with a theme as well and the guys went above and beyond to ensure the theme was executed perfectly and threw in as many suggestions as they could think of. The whole planning process was enjoyable and painless.
It was all thanks to the help of Nicole and Damien at Loughrea Hotel and Spa. Although, all of the staff went above and beyond to help us on our special day. No request was too big or too small. The guys made everything work. They helped bring our idea to life. All of our guests had a wonderful time and the majority of this was down to the fantastic effort of the hotel. The level of service on the day along with the quality food was brilliant. If there were any little mishaps on the day they were resolved before you'd even know about them. It was a brilliant few days and we couldn't recommend the hotel highly enough to people. We can't wait for our next stay at Loughrea Hotel and Spa. Plus our guests are still raving about how impressed they were by everything set up and looked after by the hotel. Thanks again for an amazing day!

The hotel surpassed our expectations in every way. Their attention to detail was second to none. From meeting the team, Damien, Nicole and the little superstar Stephen who looked after us on the top table. The food was glorious and the service on the day was excellent. All our guests spoke highly about the great service they received. We had our day 2 at the Rooftop Bar and the team and service was just as amazing as our Wedding day. We did not want for anything all weekend.

The hotel did ever well.. We had two meal tastings , the first one which just me and my now wife which was good and the second was with me my now wife and her mother .. Which turned out to be a bit off a disappointment because the food wasn't great at all... But I will say the hotel took on board all the constructive criticism that day and when it came to the food on the day off the wedding it was second to none .. I don't think I had one single guest complain about the food or the service .. Plus the room service was very good , anything thats was phoned down for from any of my wedding guests was brought to the room.. I know because even though I was the groom I asked for 4 bottles of coors light to be brought to the room at about 5am and it was there in less than 10 minutes .. Overall I was very satisfied with the all round preference off the hotel on our wedding day .. Thank you loughrea Hotel and Spa for such a great day.

Nicole was so friendly and easy to deal with from the very first email I sent. Nothing was ever too much and there was no thing as a stupid question. The hotel was the ideal venue for us with locations close by for pictures and close to the church, which meant we got to spend more time with our guests. We enjoyed every minute of our time in the hotel, from the minute we arrived to the minute we checked out.

All I can say it that from start to finish, Nicole was always at the end of an email with an answer to every possible question a bride and groom could possibly ask. The attention to detail that the staff possess far exceeded the greatest of our expectations. I cannot stress enough how pleased we were with the service we received from entering the hotel first day to the tasting to the reception. I felt that when I left Nicole after the tasting evening that I am in great hands and the next time I will meet her will be at the reception of my wedding. The peace of mind that we felt was the most reassuring thing for us. Any worries we had was met with a calmness and an attitude that instilled confidence in us. If anyone was to consider Loughrea hotel as they?re a possible venue for their reception or whole wedding, I would highly recommend it. It will be the best choice a couple could ever make.

They say your wedding day is the best day of your lives, and it truly was, but I honestly believe that for us, it was in a large part due to our spectacular venue and its staff; hte Lough Rea Hotel and Spa.
We opted to hold our civil ceremony and reception at the hotel and it was, hands down, one of the best decisions we made. From the initial contact right through to the very end of our day (and indeed the next morning) everything was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. Damien and his staff were nothing short of faultless and nothing was too much trouble for them or the hotel's wedding coordinator, Nicole. They made planning our wedding at relatively short notice a breeze.
The day itself went off without a single hitch and I can only attribute it to Damien and Nicole's dedication and attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked. As a bride you expect to be a little stressed on the day (and before!) But the team at the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa took all of that away.
The ceremony room was decorated to perfection, the food was out of this world and the serving staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The transition from meal to after party was seamless and the evening buffet was perfect. I heard more than one of our guests comment that they'd never been so well fed at a wedding!
The Honeymoon suite was magical, such a beautiful and elegant room. It really was the cherry on top of a fantastic day.
We cannot thank the hotel and staff enough for making our day so stress free and enjoyable for us. If we were to do it all over again we would not hesitate to book the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa again for our wedding and recommend it to every future bride and groom out there.
Do yourself (and your stress levels!) a favour and put your trust in the team at the Loughrea Hotel and Spa, you will be glad that you did.
So, thank you again to Damien and all the staff at the hotel and we can't wait to see you all again for our one year anniversar

Nicole, the Wedding Co-ordinator made planning our wedding so easy and stress free! Her knowledge and expertise are apparent from the first moment you meet her. The whole process was so well organised and the care and attention to detail (no matter how small) was outstanding. Nicole talked us through every single part of the process and at what stage of the process details needed to be finalised. We were extremely impressed by the choice and variety available within the wedding packages which really allows you to create your own unique wedding day. No matter what query we may have had, we knew Nicole was always only an email away. Mary was so helpful in relation to the booking of accommodation for our guests and was always on hand to help if any changes needed to be made.

Nicole, Damien, Stephen and all the staff working on our wedding day were very friendly, efficient and helpful, making sure the day ran so smoothly. Mary, the Reservations Manager was a great help in arranging accommodation for all our guests. A special word of thanks must be given to Nicole, the Wedding Co-Ordinator, who was always there to offer ideas and advice and answer any questions we had in a prompt and efficient manner. No request was ever too big or too small. Nicole's nomination for Wedding Co-Ordinator of the Year is so well deserved.
On our wedding day, the food was delicious, with many guests commenting on the promptness, the generous portions and the piping hot dinner served. The beautiful d?cor around both the pre-drinks area and in the ballroom added a special touch to the occasion. The Crisp Wall and Bubbles Wall were a big hit with our guests.

We recently had our wedding at Loughrea Hotel & Spa. From initial booking to the big day, the customer service was just incredible. Nicole in particular made the whole process so easy and stress free. The Team's service on the day itself was second to none. From the outstanding food to the top class eye to every little detail, everything was spot on. We as well as both our families and friends are all still raving about it. We could not have asked for better. Thanks so much to the whole team at Loughrea Hotel & Spa?

Nicole, I don't even know where to start. From Day 1 you were the most responsive and easy person to work with and you always answered my questions with such
90% of the reason we chose Loughrea Hotel and Spa was you. Getting to work with you was a genuine pleasure and I cannot thank you enough for helping us create the greatest day of our lives.
To every member of staff who was there for us on the day, Thank you so much. A massive shout-out to Stephen, he is an asset to the hotel and such a gentleman. The entire bridal party had the best craic with him and all day he made sure we had what we needed. Anthony the bar manager was such a great sport from the food tasting to day 2, making us cocktail after cocktail and making sure we were happy.
There are people whose names I have forgotten, The lovely young bar waitress on Friday night and the young man who was serving us on the rooftop on day 2 and it was only his first weekend if I remember correctly. To the people who set up the room and our fabulous driver, (Who we had a great laugh with when the photographers were pulled over by the guards), We thank you all infinitely for everything, and hope to see you next year for our anniversary

Everything from the moment we booked Loughrea was smooth sailing. We had to change our date a couple of times due to living overseas and covid and nothing was an issue with Nicole. Every question we asked was answered and nothing was too much. Nicole was so helpful with everything and knew exactly what she was talking about. Any email I sent was promptly responded too by Nicole, and any advise she had was given.
I want to give Damien a special mention also, when we went to him for our day 2 party to change things on the day he sorted it straight away. The hotel, the staff especially Nicole and Damien were amazing and we would 100% recommend Loughrea hotel & spa as a wedding venue to our friends and family.
The only thing we are sad about is that our day is over, we would love to do it all over again.

We cannot recommend the Loughrea Hotel & Spa enough for weddings. From day one there could not be enough done for us. Nicole and her team are absolutely amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble. The little touches were so lovely such as the letter Nicole wrote us when she was not there for our menu tasting night. I had an email almost every day to send to Nicole and she always put my mind at ease about things I was stressing about - she is a dream to deal with.
The day of the wedding from the get go everything just ran so smoothly - from getting ready in the hotel until the time we went to bed the staff were outstanding! The food was amazing and everybody at our wedding commented on that. Nothing dragged on and our band were ready to start just after 10pm which people said they could not get over.
We stayed in the hotel the second night too and we had half of our day 2 on the rooftop where we had music, food and drinks. There was plenty of food to go round and was absolutely beautiful. There was a hurling match on which people wanted to watch and although it was only through streaming it we could watch it, this was no hassle to the hotel who got it up for us.
It was a pleasure to deal with the Loughrea Hotel & Spa and if you are in any doubt of where to have your wedding, we would 100% recommend you to not skip going for a look at this hotel.

Our wedding day was packed full of moments which we will cherish forever and a huge part of it being a completely stress-free day and year of planning is down to the incredible team at Loughrea Hotel & Spa. From the day I contacted Nicole and Damien not one stone was left unturned. They had ticked every box. On the day everything was perfect. We had the benefit of a beautiful wedding car as part of our wedding package and John was so cool and relaxed as he ferried us from place to place and then on to our reception. The accommodation team, especially Mary, were highly efficient, organised and always at the end of the phone when I needed to check up on our room allocation or to take care of any special requests. The food was exquisite. We specifically asked for our steak to be cooked medium and every single person was complimentary of the chef as each course was prepared to perfection! Nicole and Damien checked in with us regularly throughout the day but worked away in the background. There was a laid-back, fun but professional buzz around the hotel and it was clear to see that all the staff at the Loughrea Hotel are very proud of their workplace and how they work together to deliver incredible weddings like ours. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect venue for their most special day.

We got married on New Years Eve 2022, we could not have asked for anything more, everything was just perfect. The attention to detail was second to none. Damien and Nicole were nothing short of spectacular always there to answer any questions we had or just there to offer advice in general. The hotel staff the day of the wedding were just amazing , all so friendly and attentive for the whole night. The food was absolutely top quality, so tasty and plenty of it. We honestly couldnt have picked a better spot to have our wedding, we would both recommend having a wedding there, top class all round.

The ballroom was beautifully decorated and the food and service was perfect. Damien was available all throughout the meal ensuring everything went perfectly - He really put us at ease.

We had been living abroad and booked the hotel prior to moving home and they accommodated us with zoom/voice calls as often as needed. The service was excellent and we didn't have to worry about anything on the day, literally everything is thought of once you walk through the door.

One of the best decisions we have ever made was to choose The Loughrea Hotel as the Venue for our wedding reception. Damien, Nicole, Hannah and the entire team were absolutely outstanding and so easy to deal with. All of our questions were answered so promptly and nothing was too much trouble.
The day itself was BEYOND our expectations. Damien and Nicole were on hand for the entire day to ensure everything ran smoothly and everyone including the Waiting Staff overseen by the amazing Hannah and the Bar Staff were absolutely Phenomenal.
The Decor was just exquisite . As one of our guests said to me, it was like walking into a Fairytale. The Tayto Wall, The Prosecco Wall, The Candy Cart, the stunning Cherry Blossom trees, the hotel itself - there's too much to mention!
The food was both absolutely delicious and so plentiful, so many of our guests are still raving about it. The atmosphere on the day was electric.
There are not enough words to describe how incredible the Team are in The Loughrea Hotel and we cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone who is considering choosing this venue also.

We found The Loughrea Hotel to be a great venue for our wedding. All of our guests were very complementary of every aspect. The trad band upon arrival was a great hit. The hotel supply alot of their own wedding decor such as cherry blossoms, prosecco wall etc meaning as a couple we didn't need to work with multiple vendors. The staff of the hotel were most helpful both in the run up to, and on the day itself. Anything we requested we recieved or an alternative suggested/provided.

We had our wedding at the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa and we couldn't be more happier with our decision. From the day we viewed the hotel, we knew that it was the one for us.
Nicole and Damien were so professional and thought of every detail without us even having to ask. Nothing was a problem and they couldn't be more helpful. We were so happy with how everything ran so smoothly.
Our food was amazing and all the staff knew their job and did it so well. The Connaught suite was such a fabulous spacious room overlooking the lake. We have attended weddings in this venue since and it was so nice to be greeted by Damien and Nicole and welcomed back to experience it all again from the other side of the table. A pleasure overall to deal with.

We had our wedding in the Lough Rea Hotel in September 2022. Our experience from start to finish with the hotel was fantastic. Nicole took on board all of our requests to make our day unique & special to us. The team were brilliant on the lead up to the wedding and everything ran smoothly on the day. The food was a key component for our wedding and the hotel delivered. It was top class. Service was brilliant, timing of the day was exceptional with everything running to the schedule. We received fabulous compliments from our guests on the hotel and all things which they provided on the day. We also had a special request to have "Supermacs" served as part of the evening snacks. This went down an absolute treat, and guests really enjoyed this little touch! Arranging a wedding involves a lot, but the team at the Lough Rea Hotel made everything easy. Nicole, Damien, Mary & Hannah were superb. We also had day 2 on the rooftop bar - it was fabulous! To any future couples, I would highly recommend this hotel for a wedding. We had a fabulous experience overall. Nicole you were a pleasure to deal with!

We had the most magical weekend on Friday and Saturday which was down to Nicole and the wonderful staff at the hotel, Nicole the wedding manager ensured everything was seemless from our ceremony and the reception to our meal and day 2 the team ensured that we had absolutely nothing to worry about which was a big part of the reason we were both so relaxed. The Wedding staff were second to none ensuring we had everything we needed from start to finish.
Although we had rain on day 2 the rooftop bar was top class, the team ensured we had enough space for everyone by opening up a second room for people to sit and enjoy themselves, our guests were so impressed with the set up and service provided by Darragh, Sarah and the team that the rain didn't bother any of our guests.
Damien the general manager was always on hand ensuring we were having a good time throughout the two days and ensuring our glasses were never dry.
Overall our experience in the loughrea Hotel and Spa was fantastic, we could not recommend them highly enough and we cannot wait to head back there for another stay soon.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you all so much for everything you did for us to make our wedding day so special.

Damien and Hannah were also on hand to answer any questions or queries we had and they were wonderful to work with.
We opted to have our ceremony in the hotel also and it was the best decision we made. The ceremony was held in the ballroom and all of our guests loved that everything was on site.
We stayed in the hotel the night before with our bridal party and the buildup to the morning was just so exciting, thanks to the wonderful staff.
Our day from start to finish was incredible. All of the staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating and ensured that our whole day flowed smoothly and effortlessly. Nicole was a dream to work with, she really helped us visualise our day and her bright and bubbly personality was a joy to behold.
We had the most relaxing, stress free day that we are still revelling in. Our guests were so complimentary of the food and their rooms, we couldn't have asked for higher praise.

We could not be any happier with The Lough Rea Hotel's wedding reception experience. Nicole the wedding coordinator is an absolute delight to work with. The hotel provided so much in terms of decor which really added to the ambiance in the ballroom. The staff on the day were completely on the ball, particularly Damien the general manager who was making sure we had everything we needed. The food was excellent and we heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests. The hotel was the perfect venue for us and the day was everything and more we could of wanted.

Nicole and the whole team at Loughrea hotel were brilliant from start to finish. We had the best day of our lives and all of our guests were raving about the place. One of our friends practically had the hotel booked for his own wedding on the night and he isn't even engaged!! Such a beautiful modern hotel that I absolutely can not fault. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it. There was no issue with any requests we had and the hotel did everything they could to help us. Their own decor was stunning. The bridal suite is amazing, you could play a game of tennis in the room it's that big and has a fabulous balcony that looks out over the lake. We got married at the height of the omicron wave of the pandemic and had several drop outs leading up to the wedding, including the day of, but the hotel were brilliant and made the whole day so stress free! All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating to us and all of our guests. Look no further, Loughrea is a 10/10 wedding venue!

The food was spectacular from the scones, canapés through to the delicious main course and finishing with the night buffet. All our guests raved about the food. And are still talking about the wedding. We would highly recommend the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa to anyone planning their wedding. .Sincere thanks to all the team there for making our day so wonderful.

Jacinta was so lovely to deal with anytime we contacted the hotel, she was also exceptional especially when we had to postpone our wedding 2 days before it last March. She has been at the end of the phone with so much positivity and I know a smile when rearranging the wedding during. Louise and Jacinta make an excellent team along with the rest of the excellent staff there in Loughrea Hotel. Also we would like to mention Sally and Anita who were also excellent when we were dealing with the hotel initially. We appreciate everything you have all done for us on our wedding planning journey. The hotel was fabulous, the decor was gorgeous in the wedding reception and wedding room, a fairytale theme, it made the day extra special and we are so grateful for that. And the food was delicious, so tasty and so much of it all day long, and the service was excellent.

I couldn't recommend the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa more! The venue is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake in Loughrea. The ballroom is fabulous with beautiful chandeliers. There is a separate piano lounge which is perfect for the drinks reception. Our wedding coordinator Natalie could not have been more helpful and easy to deal with. She answered all of our questions and never made us feel foolish for asking! She really went above and beyond to make our day special for us. She also helped with my train when getting up to the top table which I didn't realise until I saw the video... thank you Natalie!! All of the staff in the hotel were very helpful, friendly and easy to deal with, in particular Mary in Reservations. The food was amazing and was commented on by all of the guests. No one left hungry!

We can't recommend Lough Rea Hotel and Spa enough. All the staff were incredibly helpful and polite, the food was delicious and the honeymoon sweet is amazing with an incredible view of the lake! The hotel was the perfect base for our guests who flew in from around the world to stay and they all had the best time. The hotel is really clean and the bar stays open ridiculously late which meant a lot of sore heads the next day! Sally and Natalie, the wedding planners are brilliant. They helped us tailor our special day with just a few face to face meetings and the rest via emails as we live in London. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Everything was just perfect and great value for money for what you get. We will remember our wedding forever. I'd really recommend having your wedding at Lough Rea Hotel and Spa.

Nothing was too much for them, very helpful and responded super quickly to every email. Food was beautiful and they have added extras that you?d have to hire outside companies for too (sweet cart and post box for cards) so it is really good value for money.

The Lough Rea hotel & Spa is an absolutely fabulous hotel. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. It's been three weeks since our special day and all our guests are still talking about the delicious food and fantastic staff.
All members of staff throughout the whole weekend were incredibly attentive.

Myself and Kevin just wanted to thank you and all your team for the most beautiful perfect wedding day we could have ever imagined and hoped for. We cannot praise you all enough from the very beginning to the wedding day itself. You were the most amazing group to deal with in every way & we honestly couldn't recommend you enough.
The day itself blew us away the drinks reception area and our reception room was amazing. The food was just out of this world and above all the staff were fantastic and so friendly. Everyone that attended has commented on how amazing the hotel was and raving about the food and how friendly and lovely you all were.
Sally the wedding coordinator was incredible and so accommodating and easy to deal with - Sally and Ruth made sure we had the most amazing weekend and that everything ran so smoothly.
A huge shout out to Martin - He is such an asset to the hotel. He was amazing on the morning of the wedding and is such a kind and lovely person. It really was a pleasure to have him around on the morning of the wedding checking in to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything.
We honestly can't thank you all enough. We will be forever grateful that we had the pleasure to meet and deal with you all & that we made the perfect decision by having our wedding in the Lough Rea Hotel & Spa. The whole weekend was above and beyond our expectations and that is down to you all!
Wishing you all every continued success - Althea & Kevin x

The best part was that even when the night was over and we were in the residents bar the bartender made me a ham and cheese sandwich when I asked for one! I was fully expecting him to say no at 5 in the morning but he did without any objections! Absolutely amazing hotel, could not recommend it enough as you will be treated like royalty!

Sally always replied to our many emails very quick and was always so helpful with everything, she took the stress out of planning a wedding! The staff at the hotel overall are excellent, from the waiting staff to bar staff to reservations staff, they were all brilliant. The food was so amazing, many guests told us afterwards that they really enjoyed the meal. The food was out so quick for everyone which was brilliant. Ruth and Brian were there on the day and everything ran so smoothly. Ruth kept checking in with us to see if we needed anything, and we were able to relax for the day as everything was organised so well. I would give the hotel a 10 of 10 for weddings!!

What can we say about the Loughrea hotel and spa?
Over the last 18 months, we have had an amazing experience.
The management and staff have been nothing short of amazing.
We were treated so well and the lead up to our wedding we had over 140 guests arrive from Tipperary UK and Dublin.
The food was fantastic and asking all our guests how was everything they had nothing but good things to say about the hotel staff rooms and food.
Karen was the first wedding coordinator we met and then we met Sally who was there for us at everything we needed, so helpful and kind and anything we asked was done. Thank you Sally so much. You are so fabulous at what you do.
All the staff from front of house, bar, waiting restaurant floor, all staff were so lovely and helpful.
Our wedding day we could not have asked for more and everyone was treated like kings and queens. Food was amazing and we asked each table how was food and they had all enjoyed it so much. Thanks to the chefs and kitchen staff.
Everything went off more than we expected and more again.
They worked with our suppliers so well and nothing was too much trouble.
Sometimes things happen and go wrong and if anything went wrong it was fixed in an instant.
A fantastic hotel with fantastic staff
Food rooms and amazing rooftop.
Thank you Loughrea and all of you that are there for making our wedding a time we will never forget.
We will be back.

From the very first visit to the hotel, we were sure it was right for us! The meeting with the original wedding coordinator was so relaxing and stress free! We gave her an idea of our budget and some dates and she worked through everything with us! Then we had a transition to a new coordinator, which worried me at first but was seamless! Sally was brilliant from start to finish! And put up with all of my million questions with such patience!! The food was so highly complimented by all the guests! The staff were incredibly flexible as we had a few unusual requests in terms of evening entertainment and nothing was a problem! I honestly cannot fault a single thing from booking it through to two days after the wedding when we eventually left! We would highly recommend it as a wedding venue to anybody! It's exceptional value for money!

We were absolutely blown away by everything on our wedding day in June and the build-up to it was made so much easier with your support. The support was honestly above and beyond anything I expected, I really felt you were there for whatever we needed and nothing was too much.
I'm not sure where to start with our wedding day, everything was perfect. From the wonderful customer service delivered by your staff, to the delicious food from the chefs, the thoughtful and tasteful room decor, the fantastic attention to detail, to the generous round of drinks from the owner and the care and attention given to our guests at all times.
Matt and I only remember our special day as being perfect and that is so much down to Sally and all of the staff in the hotel.

The venue is lovely, your own private piano room/lounge for the drinks reception, the wedding suite is beautiful! The food was great, as all our guests commented. The onsite spa is handy for getting tan and nails done in advance, along with hair and makeup on the day. We had a number of lunchs at the hotel over the Christmas period and all the staff were friendly and efficient.

"We recently celebrated our wedding at the Loughrea Hotel, it was the most amazing 2 days we could have hoped for. The staff were so obliging in every way possible! I cant praise Karen enough for all she did for us. I was in contact with her ALOT during the planning stages and she was just amazing. She made me feel so at ease and every idea i had she made happen! After the first dance i was having trouble tying the train of my dress, Thankfully the lovely Catherine in reception saved the day and managed to get it sorted. The food was out of this world and 4 weeks later our guests are still talking about it. We invited our guests to staye for a second night and we enjoyed a barbecue on the rooftop bar to continue on our celebrations. Again the food was just amazing and more than enough to go around. Although my big day was over Karen still went out of her way to pop up and make sure everything was going well and that we were happy! The bar staff and night manager were so lovely, they were full of craic even heading into the early hours of the morning. Our day was everything we hoped for and more, Thank you so much to all the amazing people involved! Legends

We live overseas so had to organise our wedding from abroad and so happy we chose Loughrea Hotel. Karen was great to work with, she was so organised and always responded quickly to any questions we had and nothing was an issue. On the day everything was amazing and it was so well organised that we didnt have to think or worry about anything as the hotel were so onto it. The rooftop bar was amazing too and we had a party there the day after our wedding. I would highly recommend Loughrea hotel and highly rate Karen as a wedding coordinator.

We could not praise the staff of the lough rea hotel enough. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing from start to finish and it is still being praised by our guests. Karen and all staff members went out of their way to ensure everything went perfectly and it did. Nothing was too big or small for them to deal with and the hotel is amazing value for such service. The food is on par with any 5* resturant if not better. I couldnt recommend this hotel enough for anyone thinking of getting married or for any occasion.

We got married in the Loughrea Hotel and Spa in July 2015. From our first viewing of the hotel at a wedding show the November previous we were totally taken by the sheer awesomeness of the hotel. Karen and her team couldnt do enough for us and met all our needs. On the day the piano lounge was bright and spacious, all our guests(300+) enjoyed the drinks reception and piano player. The decor in the function room was spectacular and emphasised our colour theme.
The staff were amazing. Food was top notch. Everyone of our guests was very impressed by the service.
Also the hotel couldn't have been more helpful catering for our two children.
We would and have recommended the Loughrea Hotel and Spa to other couples getting married.

We attended a family wedding in the Loughrea Hotel and Spa on July 16th 2015 and was blown away by the Service and friendliness of staff.
We arrived after the service to check in and was greeted by a very friendly receptionist named Mary. Check in was fast and Mary was very efficient. We proceeded to our room. The view our room was breathtaking looking over Loughrea Lake.
We then proceeded to the arrivals area where there was lovely piano music been played to entertain guests and were greeted by smiling waiting staff offering food and beverages for guests.
The meal was amazing, the best Beef i had tasted! Sophie was our waitress and was very attentive checking on our table at each course and topping up our wine and water.
We were so delighted with the venue that we now have booked our own wedding for 2017 at the Loughrea Hotel. Karen has been excellent to deal with and nothing was a trouble. We were able to amend a few minor details in our package and again it was all about what we wanted and making sure we were happy with everything!
We are so excited to be planning our Wedding here and know we have picked the right venue!!

From the imprint we walked through the door of the hotel we knew this is where we were having our wedding. John, Karen and Mary made everything run so smooth from start to finish and were available to talk to and answer any question day or night. There were so Many things that they had taken care of that we did not even think about until the run up to the wedding. It's such a professional venue to have your wedding in and they are also so open to ideas when you want to put your own "slant" on your special day. Could not have asked for more.

Colm & I got married on March 30th and we held our reception in the Lough Rea Hotel. When we were looking for a venue to hold our wedding reception we looked into 5 hotels and this hotel by far ticked all our boxes. We were so impressed from the start by the welcome we got from the staff and they were so helpful. It was an easy decision in the end.
Our first meeting with Helen was super and we were put at ease straight away, Helen made sure that everything we wanted was included in our package and at a great price too. Helen was able to guide us and we found her to be very good at what she does. She was always quick to respond to my emails and calls and no question or request was ever let unattended.
We were so happy with the way our big day. The champagne greeting we got on arrival from the staff, the lovely comments from the staff, the drinks reception area everything was just so perfect. From the second we arrived we were treated like royalty. Our time plan from arrival to the time of dinner ran perfectly and this goes down to the brilliant staff and to Helen.
The function room was decorated exactly the way I wanted it. It really is an amazing room when you see it all done up. There was loads of space of our 180 guests and plenty of room for them all to dance the night away...
The food and drink at the reception was amazing. It was a big request of ours that the food taste amazing and hot, and after the meal tasting we requested the soup to have a little kick to it and chef did not let us down.
The honeymoon suite is lovely , really relaxing and out of all the honeymoon suites we saw when looking into venues for our wedding this room was really the best , large spacious, well furnished, lovely view of the lake , we even booked into it for the night after the wedding.
Helen and the staff at Lough Rea hotel are amazing I would highly recommend this hotel for a wedding or any other function....
We haven't a bad word to say about it. If we got the chance to redo the day all over again there isn't a thing we would change... EVERTHING WAS AMAZING.......
