What Our Couples Say...
We could not be more pleased with our wedding at The Inn at Dromoland. All through our planning and on the day Pauline and the rest of the staff made us feel so well taken care of. We could not fault anything!! Many of our guests remarked on the beautiful setting and the quality of the food. The ballroom is such a nice big open space with great natural light and the built in stage reduces the band set up time which we felt was a big bonus to the flow of the evening.
The package we got included so much more than many other venues we looked at and really the value for what you get is unmatchable!

“ The Inn at Dromoland is a fantastic setting for a wedding, and the photo opportunities within the grounds of the golf course, and the adjoining castle are second to none. Also, it's such a convenient venue to get to, as just off the motorway, which makes a big difference to a lot of people.
I could not recommend The Inn at Dromoland more! 10 out of 10 for us!

“ The reception room was fully renovated at the start of 2024 and looked lovely, and very bright with a great stage for the band and DJ just off the dance floor.

What Our Couples Say...
“ Our experience of getting married at The Inn at Dromoland could not have gone any better. From start to finish their whole team went above and beyond for us.
We also have to compliment the venue itself in more detail. They recently refurbished their banqueting suite and it's incredible. The natural light from the large windows opening out onto their lovely garden is a highlight and so different to many other dark hotel function rooms that we have seen over the years. Talking about that garden
- here is where we had our arrival reception. The sun shone, the drinks were flowing and live music outdoors - it was all just brilliant.
Everything about this hotel is top class and you will not be disappointed if you choose it as your wedding venue.

What Our Couples Say...
“ My husband and I had our civil wedding ceremony & meal at The Inn at Dromoland on March 16th. To say it surpassed our expectations is an understatement. From our wedding coordinator Pauline, who couldn't do enough for us, to Nico, the hotel manager, and all his staff, absolutely everything went off without a hitch. The professionalism & attention to detail absolutely floored us. The food and service are second to none. The decor & atmosphere are top-class. Thanks to everyone at The Inn who made our wedding day the best day of our lives.

What Our Couples Say...
“ From the minute we met Pauline on our 1st day at the Inn at Dromoland, we knew we were in safe hands. Pauline put us at ease from the very beginning, and we never felt an ounce of stress throughout the wedding planning or on our Wedding Day. We have both said that we enjoyed our wedding from start to finish and a lot of that is down to Pauline and her team.
The food and service, from the reception to the meal to the very much-needed sandwiches and bites at the end of the night, were fantastic. So many of our guests have commented on the food throughout the day.
