Testimonials

We recently held our wedding at Inchydoney Lodge and Spa, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we chose the hotel as our venue we were so impressed with all the attentive staff, and the seamless planning support we received from one of the hotel's wedding coordinators Emma Tringle. On our wedding day, the hotel staff worked closely with Emma to ensure every detail was perfect. From the drink’s reception to the floral arrangements, table settings and seating plan, the hotel did their very best to meet our every request and went above and beyond for us to ensure the day was enjoyed by all. The hotel itself is beautiful and the Bridal Suite was just perfect for all the morning preparations entailed for a wedding. The Bride and her bridesmaids loved getting ready here.

We had our New Years Eve wedding in Inchydoney and from the moment we viewed the hotel, we knew that's where we would be getting married. The warm welcome, from every member of staff is unmatched. They could never do enough for us, both in the lead up and on the day. Emma was a dream to work with, we knew from the get go we had no need to worry or stress as she had it all under control. There was no request too big or small and Emma made the whole experience of planning our day so straight forward. The day itself was unforgettable, from the girls that delivered a fabulous brekkie to the room for us getting ready, the drinks reception in the beautiful residents lounge which was perfect for a winter wedding with the open fire and beautiful views. But most importantly, the meal- it was divine, from start to finish!! Our guests are still speaking about the food and drinks and a number of them have even since returned to Inchydoney for weekend breaks!

We came to Inchydoney Lodge and Spa for lunch the day after we got engaged, and we knew from that moment it was where we wanted to spend our first day as husband and wife. Our wedding weekend couldn't have been more perfect. Everything from the food to the staff and the overall ambiance was phenomenal. Our wedding coordinator, Emma, was incredible throughout the whole process, always ensuring everything was running smoothly. The attention to detail from the whole team made it all the more special. This venue is one of a kind, and we look forward to returning in the future to create more wonderful memories.
Eimear & Diarmuid
From start to finish, Inchydoney and all of the staff, in particular Emma the wedding coordinator were absolutely fantastic to work with. Emma was like an extra bridesmaid that I didn't even know I needed. From the organising years and months in advance to the big day itself, she was honestly fantastic. We had the most amazing day and a lot of it really was down to the organisation of Inchydoney. Nothing was too big of an ask and everyone was made feel so welcome. All of our guests could not stop talking about how outstanding the food and service was. We already knew this was the case from our amazing experience during our menu tasting. I would recommend Inchydoney as a wedding venue to absolutely everyone! The day was so full of love and happiness, and I genuinely believe that the venue and staff of Inchydoney had a big part to play in making it feel this way!
