Testimonials

To Louis, Hugh and the Dunraven Arms team. We have been meaning to write this for some time, because no words feel quite enough. From the moment we arrived and met Hugh to the moment we left as newlyweds, your team went above and beyond to make our wedding not just seamless, but truly amazing. Every detail, every mile, every quiet touch of kindness from your team made us feel so at ease. You gave us a weekend and memories, we will never forget. We will be forever grateful for the care, the professionalism and the heart you poured into every part of it! Thank you, from The bottom of our hearts.

I always wanted my wedding to be a chance to show off my home county as most guests were not from Limerick. I can honestly say that the guests were so impressed with everything about the hotel. I still have guests talking about how nice the food, gardens and the rooms were! It really stood out to us how professional and friendly each and every member of staff were. This created a beautiful atmosphere in the hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and really felt like VIPs all weekend. There was absolutely nothing I would have changed about our stay.

We booked with the Dunraven in early 2023 for our July 2024 wedding. Everything was just brilliant. The hotel itself is gorgeous; the bridal suite is stunning, and the grounds and gardens are fab too. In the lead up to our wedding they were so helpful - nothing was a problem for them. Anything we asked for was arranged with ease. The ballroom itself is a great space, and our 170 guests had plenty of room. The food is amazing also - their beef was a huge hit with all our guests! Overall I would have to say that we were so happy we booked the Dunraven. I would love to do the whole day again and I wouldn't change a thing! A big thanks to all the wonderful staff at the Dunraven.

Just want to say a massive thank you for having our wedding in the Dunraven on Thursday 28th. Myself and Joe had an absolute ball. Everything from the food, service, rooms was top notch. So many guests were raving about the dinner and again the breakfast next morning. Thanks so much to you both, Casey and all the staff in the Dunraven for making 28th Dec. so special for us. We loved everything about your venue.

On behalf of myself and Anne Marie, we cannot thank you and your team enough for our wedding weekend. You personally have been so good to us ensuring that we got everything we wanted but also offering much needed advice and help. On the first day we met, you took us on a tour of the venue and really made us feel welcome. I personally did not think the Dunraven would be for us, but I will admit after our first meeting I was sold. The customer service is even more evident in all your staff members who we got to know really well. They were all so nice, helpful and professional not just to us but to everyone they encountered. A special mention to Casey who met Anne Marie on the Thursday/Friday before the wedding and helped her with bringing in sweet carts etc, this act of kindness and helpfulness was so appreciated. She even took the time to sit down with us both on Sunday and chat to us about how things went the night before and if there was anything that could be done for Day 2. On the day of the wedding Mariah was so professional and no question or request fazed her, she was excellent in all areas. with such a high attention to detail. Your probably tired of hearing this but the food was as always to the highest standard, the biggest question I had was if you could replicate the same standard on the wedding day as we had at the meal tasting and of course I should not have even contemplated that it would be anything less. Everyone enjoyed the meal and had great reviews of the offering. Massive thanks to your kitchen staff and all the teams involved in preparing and cooking the meals. Speaking to people who stayed in the hotel as part of the wedding they were impressed with the quality of the rooms offered. For us both we wanted our wedding to not just be about us but a way for family and friends to come and enjoy themselves and for them to head home be that after an hour or 2 days and say that they had a great time. You and your team helped us achieve this goal and for that we are so thankful. We would have no issues with recommending the Dunraven Hotel to everyone for their wedding and while we will definitely be back for our first-year anniversary have no doubt that you will see us and our family/friends visit numerous times before then. You and your team helped play a major part in allowing us create memories that will last forever and for that we are so grateful. Go raibh maith agat.

Myself and my husband had our wedding reception at The Dunraven Arms in July 2024 and we cannot speak highly enough of our experience throughout. From the first day of meeting Louis and his staff, we were made to feel so welcome and were so assured by their kindness and professionalism. In preparing for the day, we were given ample time by Louis to meet, discuss and plan everything according to our wishes. The day itself will be etched in our memories for the rest of our lives. Everything was top class from start to finish. The food, the staff, the ambience. We could not have wished for better. Our enthusiasm was shared by our many guests who were effusive in their praise of the hotel, the entire staff, and the delicious meal enjoyed by all. A special word of thanks to Hugh, Denis, Mariah and the wider catering staff. In summary, we loved our time at The Dunraven Arms. The staff were all exceptional and the standard of catering and accommodation was superb. A very sincere thank you to you all. Hats off on a job superbly done.
