Wedding Testimonials
WHAT OUR BRIDE & GROOMS SAY
“Where to begin…. We had the Wedding Day of our dreams at Athlone Springs Hotel. We got married on Sept 27th 2024 and we wouldn’t change a thing. From the minute we met Lauren and booked our date back in May 2023 we knew we were in safe hands. We were nervous about numbers at the time but Lauren made us feel so excited and at ease about the wedding, nothing was too big or too small. The day was amazing and that was thanks to Lauren, James, Chef Martin and all the amazing staff at the Athlone Springs. The day ran so smoothly, I still can’t believe how perfect it was. To walk into the function room before everyone else and just look around and take it all in, it was beautiful and everything we wanted & more. Everyone is still talking about the brilliant spread at the arrivals reception especially the amazing ham & rolls and the cocktails. The meal was amazing as I’m sure anyone knows about the Athlone Springs, the food is always amazing, so that was never a worry. The staff were all spoken about so well after the day, that they were there for anything that was needed and the friendliest staff to deal with. We sat at the top table and just took it all in, everything was just amazing. We really had the best day ever and it was all made so easy at the Athlone Springs. We’re forever grateful & thanks so much for everything on the day and the lead up to it.”
Karen & Johnny, September 2024
“We got married in the Athlone Springs Hotel on the August Bank Holiday and we can’t say enough about how happy we are that we chose it. The Athlone Springs really caught our eye due to its value, good reviews and central location. We had both our ceremony and reception at the hotel. It was so well done, it just added to our excitement and again, made us certain the Athlone Springs Hotel was the right choice. It was so intimate and beautifully decorated. The dinner was amazing and the service from all the staff was so professional and our guests all commented on how impressed they were with the staffs friendliness and willingness to help. We loved it and so did our guests. Thank you again to all the team at the Athlone Springs Hotel, most notably Sally, Nicole, Martin & Michelle, you out done yourselves and we could not have asked for better.”

Aurora and Andrés, May 2024
“Firstly, myself and Pádraig just want to thank Nicole, Aidan and Lauren for being so amazing to deal with. From the first day we walked into the hotel everyone greeted us with a smile. Our wedding was May 3rd and we cannot recommend you all enough. Nothing we asked for was too much and we are absolutely delighted with how the day turned out! From the meal tasting to the actual wedding meal, nothing was out of place. The food was absolutely incredible and that’s all thanks to head chef Martin who is absolutely gifted at what he does. He twisted our arms about changing our starter to the assiette of starters and since the wedding people have not stopped talking about it. We had a horse racing themed wedding and any little props that we wanted to use Nicole had make sure everything was laid out the way we wanted. We want to thank every member of staff who worked at and catered for our wedding, especially staff member Aoife who was waiting on the top table. She could not do enough for us to make sure we were all happy and got what we needed. She was an absolute star! We are delighted to have picked such a wonderful hotel for our wedding and we want to do it all over again! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts, it was the day we always dreamed of and then some! It was an absolute honour to work with you all in planning our wedding day.”
Michaela and Pádraig, May 2024
“Thank you so much to all the team at the Athlone Springs Hotel, we had our special day on September 2nd 2023. We had our wedding ceremony outside in the secret garden and it was more than what we could have dreamed of. Both Sally and Lauren our wedding co-ordinators looked after us so well from the time we booked right up until the day before our big day. They were so accommodating to all our guests. James the hotel manager looked after us the day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for any better of a service. The food was amazing, we partied until the early hours. Thank you for giving us such an amazing day to start our life’s off as husband and wife.”
Louise & Michael, September 2023

A big thank you to Sally the wedding planner who emailed us back and forward from the time we went down almost 2 years ago until our big day, she was a huge help and just a lovely person to deal with. To James, Mark & the team who were working and who helped out on the actual day and coordinated the whole wedding and the rest of the weekend, we can’t thank them enough.

Tracy and Keith, September 2023
“We cannot recommend the Athlone Springs Hotel enough. From the first day we viewed the Hotel and were shown around by the lovely Mark, we just know it was the right venue for us! We then met Sally the wedding coordinator and everything we asked for was no problem for them. We met James at our meal tasting and his service was second to none, any changes we wanted were no problem. Martin the Head Chef also came out and spoke with us after our meal tasting to ensure we were happy with everything. Our Wedding Day ran so smoothly thanks to Sally, James and their amazing team. The food was so tasty and plentiful and the service was amazing, all our guests were very impressed. The drinks reception and ballroom were decorated beautifully. We really are delighted we choose the Athlone Springs for our special day.”
Carmel and Jamie, August 2023
“We couldn’t recommend the Athlone Springs hotel enough!! They made our day perfect from our very first meeting to even the following week after the wedding. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They listened to everything we wanted and went above and beyond for us. They catered for family in wheelchairs and all the different dietary requirements we had. We met the chef at our tasting (which was amazing) and he delivered a spectacular meal on the day!! We still have so many guests telling us it was their favourite wedding and favourite wedding meal!! We cannot thank you enough. We will be forever grateful and we cannot wait to return! The Athlone Springs hotel will always be a special place for us now. We would love to do it all again and we wouldn’t change a thing!!”
Nicole and Ben, July 2023
“We recently had our wedding reception at the Athlone Springs Hotel. To say we were delighted with the service received would be an understatement! Staff always went above and beyond for us and our guests at all times! From the lead up to the wedding and the days after, everything was dealt with the best customer service and professionalism! Our guests are still raving about the fantastic service and kindness received. Sally our wedding co-ordinator was always very quick to answer any questions or queries we had with planning the big day and always very helpful with tips and advice! Not to mention how beautifully decorated the rooms were down to the smallest details – exactly how we wanted! A very huge thank you to James the food and beverage manager who always went out of his way to help me with the wedding nerves and ensured everything went smoothly! We really appreciated him ordering in a non-alcoholic beverage that is not usually in stock for an expectant guest of ours, she appreciated this so much! The service received by him and his team was second to none, having worked in the same industry I was extremely impressed! Food was absolutely amazing and great portion sizes, still talked about by everyone best soup and vol au vents around! Over all, anything that we wanted/needed was taken care of and nothing was too much to ask of all staff, everyone greeted us with smiles and congratulations the entire weekend and were always on hand to help wherever needed. All of our friends and family have dubbed this hotel the best they have ever been to and the best wedding they’ve attended! We can not wait to continue to return here for our anniversaries and see everyone again!”
Oonagh and Shaun, April 2023
“We can’t recommend Athlone Springs Hotel enough – from the wedding planning journey to the day itself, everything was seamless and perfection. For our wedding we wanted a modern, stylish hotel, with quality food and a fab function room – Athlone Springs ticked all the boxes when we were deciding where to have our wedding. We were particularly impressed with the spacious function room and the gorgeous décor – on the actual day of the wedding, we were blown away by how fabulous everything looked, from the function room to the drinks reception, it was perfection. Lauren our wedding coordinator was amazing. The wedding planning process was seamless and easy from our side, that was due to how helpful the team were in Athlone Springs in dealing with all our queries and requests. Lauren really did go above and beyond – for one particular request we had, Lauren pulled out all the stops to ensure she could make it happen for us. The food was absolutely amazing, and the wedding team and staff were so professional. All our guests commented on how brilliant the staff and food was on the day of the wedding. We are incredibly grateful to all the staff and had the most amazing day.”
Sinead and Niall, November 2022
“We couldn’t recommend Athlone Springs Hotel enough! From the moment we made contact the wedding coordinators were so attentive and responsive. We first fell in love with the idea of having our wedding in the Athlone Springs Hotel after attending an engagement party for some friends. The room was decorated so beautifully, the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. We were very lucky that the wedding date we wanted was available so booked asap, and that’s where our journey to our perfect wedding started. Any questions we had, requests or changes were promptly responded to and sorted by the amazing wedding coordination team. The menu tasting was absolutely fantastic, we even got to meet the chef on the day and discuss any changes we wanted. When it came to the actual day of the wedding staff were there from the minute we arrived to make sure the day ran smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had our entire wedding in the hotel (ceremony, reception, dinner and photos), it did not disappoint. From the beautifully decorated ceremony room to the mouth watering food at the dinner, our guests never stopped talking about it! We were well and truly spoiled and looked after from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend the Athlone Springs Hotel enough. We would love to thank the super kind staff for all of their hard work leading up to the wedding and in the days that followed.”
Shauna and Kurtis, October 2022
“Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives and the Athlone Springs played a huge part in making the day so special. From beginning to end they were so helpful and were committed to making our day so special. Louise our wedding co-ordinator was always available to answer any questions we had before our big day and helped us plan our amazing day down to the very last detail. James was absolutely amazing and anything we asked for or needed done on the day he did without hesitation, and we are so thankful that we had his assistance on the day. Our day ran so smoothly because of James and his team. The hotel staff were second to none, they were so polite, helpful and skilled in their positions. The food was absolutely perfect and all guests commented on the night about how nice the food was. Guests also commented on how nice the staff, the hotel and the ballroom was. We will be forever grateful to the Athlone Springs for making our day so perfect and for the memories we will cherish forever.”
Sinead and Leon, September 2022
“When we got engaged we decided to keep our wedding local so we started visiting hotels around the Midlands. After visiting a few hotels we went to a Wedding Showcase in the Athlone Springs Hotel. From the moment we walked into the hotel we were very impressed with how modern the hotel is and the atmosphere was lovely. The main ballroom was fabulous, the perfect size to create a good atmosphere on your wedding day. We booked our wedding that day and we are delighted we did. We got married here on the 9th of September 2022 and everything on the day was perfect. We had a humanist ceremony in the hotel and the room was decorated beautifully. We had meetings with both Sally and Louise and they were both great to deal with – they could not do enough for us. The food was so tasty and plentiful, from the fabulous set up at the reception to the main meal and the afters – all our guests were talking about how nice the food was. We were not surprised as we knew after meeting the Head Chef Martin at our wedding tasting that we had nothing to worry about. James and all his staff were excellent, they served the meal so professionally. Also a mention to the bar staff who were kept busy all night. I had a large bridal party so I decided to stay in the hotel the night before and the hotel provided a fabulous room for us all to get ready in. The staff were so pleasant and on hand for anything we needed. A special mention to Jade who looked after us so well that morning. We had over 200 guests at our wedding and they were all very complementary about the hotel. If you are planning your wedding, give the Athlone Springs Hotel a visit and you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much to all the staff in this fabulous hotel for making our day so special.”
Donna and Peter, September 2022
“We absolutely loved our day from the minute we walked into the hotel, we could see all the little details and love put into our wedding. Nothing went unnoticed by us. The hotel went above and beyond to make our day special and I couldn’t fault one thing. The food, the presentation and the staff were all absolutely amazing. We wish we could do it all again. Thank you all so much.”
Kellie and Rob, July 2022
“To Louise, Sally, James and Mark. We would like to thank you and all the staff at the Athlone Springs Hotel. We had our wedding with you in July 2022 and we honestly can’t say enough. From the first time we met with you all, nothing was ever an issue. You all knew exactly what we wanted, from the way the room was beautifully decorated to the table plan and menus matching our invitations. We have also gotten so many compliments about the food, it was outstanding. We were blown away by everything each one of you have done for us. It was all perfect from start to finish and we had the best day. Thank you.”
Sarah and JP, July 2022
“We had the most amazing day for our wedding at the Athlone Springs Hotel, the fabulous Lauren was amazing from start to finish, she had everything perfect. Lauren and James were on top of it all on the day and were just fantastic and so friendly. The food was amazing, and Chef Martin was more than happy to accommodate us with anything we needed. All the staff at the Springs were friendly and more than happy to help with anything we needed especially when it came to our 3 boys. We had the most perfect day and with the help of Lauren and all of the staff and the Springs, it was even more special.”
Tracy and Jimmy, June 2022
“We had our wedding in May 2022 in the Athlone Springs Hotel and we honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Louise, Sally and all the team. From our very first meeting they could not have been more helpful; nothing was ever an issue. Their attention to detail is second to none from the personalised menu matching our invites to the room decoration and lighting. The food was exceptional and many of our guests are still talking about it. All of the staff in the hotel were so helpful and friendly and definitely added to our day. We are incredibly grateful to all the staff and had the most amazing day.”
Tina & Edward, May 2022
“The Athlone Springs Hotel is absolutely amazing. From the very minute we met Sally to view the hotel, I could not find a fault. It’s an intimate classy hotel with the friendliest of staff. On our wedding day the team went above and beyond for us particularly James who ensured fantastic service. Our guests still tell us how much they loved the venue and the food. It’s a 10/10 for us.”
Cliona and Pa, April 2022
“We got married Saturday April 30th 2022 and had our reception in Athlone Springs Hotel. We were in contact with Sally and met with both Sally and Aidan before the big day. They listened to every little thing that we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. The ballroom was beautifully decorated. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. We can’t thank chef Martin enough. Aidan checked in with us very discreetly during the day. The attention to detail was top class. We got 5 star food and service. We had the best day and are very grateful to all of the staff. We are looking forward to celebrating other special occasions in Athlone Springs Hotel.”
Sinéad & Eamon, April 2022
““After postponing our wedding because of the pandemic from New Years Eve 2020 to Christmas of 2021, we thought our day would go ahead without a hitch but covid had other plans yet again. We were on our way back to Ireland from New York when we heard of the new restrictions and within 9 days we had to change venue and completely reorganise our whole wedding. The help and assistance that Aidan, Sally and all of the staff at Athlone Springs Hotel awarded to us was second to none. We were beyond lucky with how well we were treated. Aidan and Sally are a powerhouse and work so well together. From the day we met them, they had everything reorganised for us even down to personalised menu’s that were made using our original wedding invite. Sally and Aidan were always just a call or text away for all the little questions we had in the days leading up to the wedding. We can only imagine what else they would of been able to pull off if they had more time than we had given them. The day itself was amazing and that is all thanks to the wonderful staff at Athlone Springs. The food, ambience, service and atmosphere was all incredible. We would recommend this hotel to anyone for their wedding. A special mention also to Pat & Una McDonagh who helped to accommodate us aswell. To say we are happy that we had our wedding at the Athlone Springs Hotel is an understatement. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to everyone there. We had the most amazing day”
Serena & Jonathan, December 2021
“Cannot recommend this hotel enough. From the moment we met with them, they went above and beyond for us even at short notice. Every little detail was spot on from the decoration of the room, the table plan lighting, food it was all amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The chefs are top class and Sally and Mark who looked after our day couldn’t have done any more for us.”
Laura & Tommy, September 2021
“We got married on Friday August 20th 2021 and had our reception in Athlone Springs Hotel. From the moment we arrived until we left there was no stone left unturned. The food was delicious both on the wedding day and the second day BBQ in their secret garden! The staff were incredibly friendly and really added to the day! Aidan, Mark, Martin & All the staff went above and beyond to make our day so special and we cannot thank them or recommend them enough.”
Sally & Seán, August 2021
“We got married on the 18th of July at the Athlone Springs Hotel, we had the most amazing day. We met Sally 6 weeks beforehand, having postponed our wedding twice already. Sally was fantastic, nothing was a problem, she really got us excited again about our special day. I stayed the night before with my family and bridal party and from the moment I checked in I felt like a VIP. The Civil Ceremony Suite and the Ballroom were beautifully decorated by Sally and her team, it was great not to have to worry about sourcing a supplier to do this. We had private use of the Secret Garden for our drinks reception, the cocktails were fab. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food and service was, I honestly could go on and on. I can’t praise the staff enough. If you are planning your big day I would definitely recommend visiting the Athlone Springs and meeting Sally.”
Nicola & Damien, July 2021
“Our wedding was on the 27th of June 2021 and the Athlone Springs Hotel was a superb venue for our party. We had previously booked another Hotel but after some issues with moving dates & the 1st venue not being very flexible so we moved our wedding just 8 weeks before we were due to get married. It was a really stressful time for us trying to plan a wedding, moving dates, a global pandemic and still hold down full time jobs! I have to say that the team in the Springs just seemed to take away all of the stresses, doubts & uncertainty we had once we decided to move our wedding there. We met with Sally & Mark and they pulled it all together in a couple of days. we knew exactly what we were doing and had a wedding tasting 7 days after booking! Just wow! The food was amazing, we were able to openly give our feedback on the meal at the tasting to ensure it was exactly what we wanted from the day. We had fabulous cocktails as part of our package. What was also remarkable was that all of the decor our previous venue were charging almost €1000 for came complimentary with our package! We had the most wonderful day with our family & friends and would have no hesitation in recommending the Athlone Springs to anyone looking for a venue. Congratulations Sally & team! We will never forget it.”
Rhona & Evan, June 2021
“We had our wedding in June 2021 and our day in the Springs was absolutely fantastic. From the initial contact the wedding coordinator Sally, was outstanding. She couldn’t do enough for us and was in constant contact with help/guidance and to answer any questions. The décor was second to none on our day- all as standard for weddings in the hotel. The service was excellent, a very personalised experience. The main highlight apart from the décor and experience was the food. Without a doubt the best by far, our guests were very impressed. We were also thrilled to have a second day BBQ in the garden, again the food incredible. A beautiful hotel and great service, highly recommended.”
Elaine & Conor, June 2021
“Our Wedding day finally got to take place after moving twice due to COVID. We were thrilled to finally get to say I do. We had our first meeting with Sally who answered all of our questions (even the silly ones) and just made us feel so at ease from the very start. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in safe hands. She was able to keep us calm even when restrictions and everything were changing rapidly. The assurances she gave just made it all seem so effortless. We ended up being able to have 100 guests which was more than we even thought. The ballroom suite was beautifully decorated with blossom trees & candleabra’s and really set the tone of the evening. The food was outstanding, many of our guests still compliment it. The wine poured freely and you could just see from our seats at the top table that everyone was being looked after – almost like the guests of our wedding were friends of the Hotel. We stayed in a fabulous suite that was massive and enjoyed a lovely day 2 BBQ in the new garden they opened this year. I think we were even the first ones to use it. The Athlone Springs will always hold a special place in our hearts & we cannot thank Sally & her team enough for everything they did for us.”
Niamh & Michael, June 2021
“The staff was absolutely amazing nothing was a problem , our day went above and beyond our expectations , the décor food drink the hotel rooms were just fabulous. I’ve never been at a wedding where the staff were as amazing they could not have done enough for us I’d highly recommend to anybody getting married if possible have it in the Athlone Springs , they were able to accommodate from toddlers to elders and made sure everything ran smooth and no problem with anything we asked for even on the day the kids changed their minds on what was on the menu and their was no problem.”
Nuala & Colin, June 2021
“Athlone springs were exceptional to work with, the hotel is amazing and they are so welcoming. We were very late booking due to pandemic and failure of our previous hotel to go ahead with the day. The Athlone Springs were so accommodating and assisted us in every way they could. What we thought would be so stressful was so relaxed and we have decided any future get togethers we organize, whether christenings, or birthdays, we will be having there. We would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you”
Anne-Marie & John, April 2021
“While our wedding was affected by COVID we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We got married in January 2021. While we had to reduce numbers and respect all safety measures we had the most amazing day at the Athlone Springs Hotel.
We first reached out to the hotel four days before our wedding day, from the second we contacted Aidan he was brilliant and had our accommodation, menu and room décor organised in no time. To say he did a great job is an understatement. He was fantastic to work with and was so easy-going.
The wedding team was just brilliant on the day, the room was decorated with cherry blossoms, tea lights, floral arch and candelabras – it looked fantastic. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant.
Thanks to Mark for bringing me endless hot ports throughout the evening, they were the best.
Fantastic hotel and staff, we would absolutely recommend it!
