We were treated like royalty on the day, and since our wedding we have heard countless positive comments from our guests about the venue.
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.

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
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, John & Andrea x

Gorgeous venue
Could not fault the hotel on anything. Unbelievable service, food, value for money. Every guest loved every minute of it. Loughrea hotel were very accomodating and were so helpful. Best hotel and very professional. The connaught suite (bridal suite) is exceptional too.
Melanie O Toole . married on 08/09/2023
WOW
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

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.
Noel Ruane . married on 23/09/2023
flawless
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.
Sean Carthy . married on 30/09/2023
superb
We cannot recommend the Loughrea Hotel and Spa highly enough. Our wedding day was perfect. Nicole and Damian made the whole planning easy and stress-free. The staff, function room, food, service and accommodation were all perfect. All our guests commented on how good everything was. Again cannot recommend the Loughrea Hotel and spa highly enough. Thanks for everything.

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.

I can confidently say - Lough Rea Hotel and Spa can host a wedding no matter how big or small.
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, 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.

10/10 if I had to do it all over again it would be here 100 times over !!!
Having had to postpone our wedding TWICE! because of COVID, Loughrea Hotel and Spa never failed to deliver, I had chopped and changed so many dates I can't even remember but what I do remember is that it was never any trouble for Nicole and her team, the most helpful lady, she made a very stressful time seem so calm, everything was organised with such precision and amazing attention to detail, we had our ceremony in the hotel and it was perfect, the food, people are still talking about it over a year later, the staff was so friendly and helpful I honestly couldn't say enough about it. 10/10 if I had to do it all over again it would be here 100 times over !!! thank you for a wonderful day at Loughrea Hotel and Spa.

From the day I contacted Nicole and Damien not one stone was left unturned. They had ticked every box.
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.

Nicole and Damien were so professional and thought of every detail without us even having to ask
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. Jamie and Aoife Langan

lough rea hotel wedding day
t's been a year since we got married at the Lough Rea Hotel and our friends and family still talk about it all the time. We received nothing but great feedback all night, especially about the food and the prompt service. Everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to the team, especially Mary, Nicole and Damien for all of their help and support through the planning process. We stayed with them for our 1 year anniversary and they even had a card in the room with our photo from the wedding on it. They really think of everything. Can't wait to come back again next yr!

Nicole you were a pleasure 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! Charlene & James Kilcoyne

The staff of the hotel were most helpful both in the run up to, and on the day itself
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.

Mary in reservations is such a fabulous person to deal with and also her reception team are excellent and will sort all that side of the rooms etc to the highest standards.

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.
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.

Everything from the moment we booked Loughrea was smooth sailing.
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.
Emma Jamie . married on 29/04/2023
90% of the reason we chose Loughrea Hotel and Spa was you.
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

We could not have asked for better.
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”

Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
From the moment we contacted the Lough Rea Hotel, we knew we were in great hands. Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. 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 décor 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. If you’re considering the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa for your wedding day, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you to the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa for helping to make our wedding day so special.

Would choose the venue again in a heartbeat if we were back at the planning stage
Nicole the wedding co-ordinator made everything so simple and easy. Nothing was a problem. She replied to every query instantly and went above and beyond with the little details and decor for us. All the guests raved about the room, the service and the food. There was more food than any crowd could possibly eat and it was all delicious. Staff were incredibly helpful and were very on the ball all weekend. Day 2 on the rooftop bar was ran very well and the barbecue food went down a treat. Couldn't fault a single thing and would choose the venue again in a heartbeat if we were back at the planning stage.
Emer David . married on 15/09/2023
The attention to detail that the staff possess far exceeded the greatest of our expectations.
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.
Rebecca and Noel Ruane . married on 23/09/2023
We enjoyed every minute of our time in the hotel
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.
Niamh and Nigel Shanagher . married on 28/10/2022
The hotel surpassed our expectations in every way.
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.
Rebecca and Jason Ollerenshaw . married on 27/05/2022
The food was amazing and the portions sizes were great!
We cannot fault the Lough Rea Hotel. From the minute we viewed the venue right up to the big day, they were great! I had a few questions along the way and they were answered quickly. Nicole & her team were absolutely fantastic on the day. We had a few changes to make right up until the dinner bell and Nicole was able to help and nothing phased her. On the day, we couldnt fault the service. All of our guests were well looked after while we were off taking pictures. The food was amazing and the portions sizes were great! We had day 2 here on the rooftop with a BBQ which also was amazing. All our guests were raving about the food for the reception as well as the food for the BBQ.

Overall our experience in the loughrea Hotel and Spa was fantastic,
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. Davy and Rach 29th July 2022

There are not enough words to describe how incredible the Team are in The Loughrea Hotel
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.

Thanks to the team for making our day so special and helping us create such fabulous memories
We had our wedding at the Loughrea Hotel and it was an amazing experience from the beginning. Nicole was a pleasure to work with, any questions or concerns we had she sorted out right away. 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. So many of our guests commented that the wedding reception was amazing and they couldn’t fault it. If your thinking of going with the Loughrea hotel it will be the best decision you make. Thanks to the team for making our day so special and helping us create such fabulous memories.

The day itself was amazing from start to finish.
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.
