I cannot give enough praise to Deirdre and all the team at the An Grainan. We had our wedding postponed several times due to covid and during these changes nothing was ever a bother. The food and organisation from the hotel was excellent. I never stressed once knowing they had everything sorted. …

We had our wedding in An Grianan Hotel in December. It was the most amazing experience. We did not have to worry about a single thing on the day, it all flowed so well and was so well organised by Deirdre.
We actually arrived an hour early and Deirdre brought the dinner forward without even being …

asked. Our guests were treated so well and nothing was too much.
The food was amazing, the staff were so pleasant and it was such an enjoyable day.
If we were to do it all again we wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you so much Deirdre and team!

Good morning,

From the minute we booked with Deirdre we were so impressed by the service we received and everyone's willingness to help. The day of couldn't have …

gone more smoothly and that's due to the excellent staff you have and your attention to detail.

Aisling, in particular stood out to us, she was so attentive and nothing we asked for was too much. We will forever be grateful for this.

All of our guests commented on how amazing everything was and we couldn't have agreed more.

We really can't thank you enough for being such a huge part of the most amazing day, one that we'll never forget!

We got married at An Grianan Hotel.
What a day, what a hotel!

We will start at the beginning.
We went to meet Deirdre the wedding coordinator, we were expecting a sales woman, someone who would be telling us we need this and this -but no, Deirdre was amazing, she asked us what WE had in mind …

she was very approachable friendly and down to earth, she worked around what WE wanted, nothing was a problem. Communication was key throughout. She thought of everything. She gave us advice on where we could find things and how to organise things on the day.

On the day everything was perfect and the staff couldn’t do enough for us or the guests. We would highly recommend An Grianan Hotel for a wedding. It’s a beautiful warm, clean, comfortable hotel in a fabulous setting.
We have had nothing but positive comments from our guests.
The food was amazing, everyone complimented on the food from quality to quantity.
An Grianan Hotel went above and beyond our expectations. We have no hesitation in recommending An Grianan Hotel as a wedding venue.

Having our wedding at An Grianan Hotel had been my dream since we got engaged. Our day did not disappoint, everything from the staff, decor, setting to the food was absolutely perfect. I would safely say the best wedding venue choice by far.

Today marks the first day outside of our honeymoon after getting married in An Grainan hotel. A 3-star hotel with a 5 star feel and service to match. The hotel and their wedding team and staff were fantastic throughout the day. Not to mention our wedding planner Deidre who was amazing on the day and …

throughout the whole wedding process. I would highly recommend An Grianan Hotel for any venue and especially a wedding. It was a first-class service all around.

It was a pleasure having our wedding at An Grianan Hotel. The staff were so helpful leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. They helped keep the whole day so relaxed, any stresses or worries I had totally disappeared. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve been at! …

Thank you so much!

Having recently got my wedding photos and being able to relive my wedding day, I have decided to write a review to help me express the fantastic feeling I had when browsing through my album.

An Grianan Hotel was the perfect venue. It is a true hidden gem that offers fantastic care and attention. …

We were catered for and able to personalize our wedding to suit our style and taste. We could make it feel so intimate and close, and really express our own personalities which was so important.

Anyone who wants to get married, have a look at An Grainan. They offer five star service, and they care so deeply for the couples who book with them. It felt like they were honored to be able to share the day with us. I would happily share that day with them again.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. I can't recommend this wedding venue enough. I came to this hotel for the first time as a birthday treat, and just so happened to see it set up for a wedding the following day. It blew mine and my wife's mind how beautiful the layout was, so that started …

our journey that night to making it our dream venue.
We had a relaxing, very easy initial appointment with Deidre that then lead on to us booking our dream day. Little did we know that covid was on its way, and it came with a bang, which left a lot of things up in air but not my wedding! I was constantly reassured that I could rebook at many different times, but I decided to keep the date. Luckily everything went to plan. I honestly couldn't fault the hotel as they had everything in place to keep me and my guests safe. I had a beautiful, romantic, amazing day, and that was all left down to the hotel and their staff. They made it run smooth and make it look almost effortless, that's how well my day went. They had the venue looking absolutely stunning. I love looking back on the pictures and saying to myself wow. The honeymoon suite is out of this world!! It's going to be my forever hotel, I love going back still.
This hotel would make any wedding a show stopper, no matter how many guests are there. We would highly recommended An Grianan Hotel, and if I could give it 100 stars I would.

Where do we even begin to say how grateful we are to the team at An Grianan Hotel, for giving us the most magical day.
At the height of Covid, and with another lockdown looming, we were faced with the possible prospect of having to postpone our wedding. We were so glad we didn’t. Deirdre and the …

team went above and beyond for us. Instead of our big fairytale wedding, we had an intimate wedding with 25 of our nearest and dearest. An Grianan staff treated us all like royalty, and if we had to do it all again we wouldn’t change a thing.
The room was spectacular and not a detail was missed. Everyone commented on the delicious food, and first class service. I would highly recommend An Grianan for anyone booking their wedding day. The team here go the extra mile, and we have them to thank for the perfect wedding day.

On arrival we were greeted by Deirdre. We could instantly tell Deirdre was extremely passionate about her roll as wedding coordinator. She was extremely warm welcoming and enthusiastic. We discussed availability, themes, likes and dislikes. You name it and Deirdre had it covered. We found this …

extremely helpful! With our own ideas and Deirdre’s expertise, she was able to give us direction on how to tie all our ideas and ambitions together. Deirdre discussed the various packages and prices ranges as well as resources to avail of including centre pieces, back drops, table plans and much more. Deirdre then directed us on a tour of the premises. When entering the main ballroom, my mouth dropped when I saw the stone wall, centre chandelier and surrounding decor. Throughout the tour, Deirdre talked us though “our wedding day” using the information we provided. Deirdre also displayed a great knowledge for key photographic opportunities. We also walked around the breathtaking An Grainan gardens. There is also the Grianán of Aileach within 5 minute from the venue over looking lough Swilly. Deirdre was in contact throughout our planning and was always on the end of the phone for assistance. Prior to our wedding we had a meeting to discuss final numbers, requirements and covid regulations. When the big day arrived, we couldn’t have been more happier. Deirdre and staff had implemented everything we ever imagined and more. From our grand entrance to our departure, we where delighted with the service An Grianan provided. Deirdre and the staff where always there for assistance and directions. The staff where exceptional! The standard and high quality of food was extraordinary! All if the staff were very accommodating and attentive. The bridal suite was newly refurbished and immaculate! In regards to our wedding experience, I couldn’t recommended the An Grianan enough, and would like to commend all the staff for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day perfect in every way!

No words will ever be enough to be able to thank An Grianan enough for making our wedding day the best day ever!! Deirdre and Aisling, especially, were amazing, and everything we wanted we got. Even with the restrictions at the time, the professionalism, guidance and support was amazing. We really …

Second time round, but well worth the wait! We had our wedding at An Grianan Hotel last Friday, and everything was simply perfect!

An Grianan Hotel was the most perfect spot for our wedding day. Dierde is an expectational lady, and her expertise helped us to remain at ease during the pandemic. Although our wedding was a lot smaller that we had expected, we still had the most special day. The food and service was outstanding, …

and they hotel staff worked alongside my family members to make the decor special and sentimental to us. The weather was on our side, we have some beautiful memories captured at An Grianan fort, and in and around the venues garden. We will always have a special place in our heart for An Grianan Hotel, and hope to spend many more special occasions there.

After a lot of uncertainty throughout the summer of 2020, we decided to stick with our original wedding date of 19/9/20, and hope that it would still go ahead. We were very lucky to have had our special day on this date as planned, and to be allowed 50 guests at An Grianan Hotel. The staff at the …

hotel were very helpful, and considering it was such a difficult and unpredictable tIme for everyone involved, we were impressed with how they managed the situation as a whole. Anything we asked for, we received. Our guests were very complimentary on the food that day. It was all delicious, and there were even seconds offered around for those that wanted more. On entering An Grianan Hotel, there is a very friendly, and it had a cosy feel to the place, which is what we always loved about it. Ourselves and our guests were all made to feel very welcome. The bedrooms were immaculate and none of them were too far away from the main reception and function room, which was very handy for guests. The main function room is unique, as it is arranged in a circle, with the dance floor in the middle. We were delighted that even though we had to reduce our numbers to 50, the tables were still arranged in such a way that the room still looked nicely filled, and nobody was too far away from the top table, toilets or bar. The nearby An Grianan fort was where we went for photographs, and we were blown away by the views that day. To have these beautiful surroundings so close to the hotel made it even more appealing as a wedding venue for us. We couldn’t recommend An Grianan Hotel enough to prospective brides and grooms. We were very happy with how our day worked out.

My husband and I could not recommend An Grianan Hotel enough for your special day.

From the first day we enquired about the venue to check out, a few days after the wedding, the staff went above and beyond.

Deirdre and Richeal, the wedding coordinators, are true professionals, and nothing …

was an issue while this was a challenging time in a pandemic with regulations changing frequently. The hotel was constantly in contact regarding all this giving us help, support, and guidance.

The food was outstanding, and my family still speak so highly of the food and it has appeared to have been the talking point ever since, including the exceptional service. The gardens are fantastic, a real hidden gem, beautiful in autumn as the leaves begin to fall. I could not fault this hotel in anyway, and it exceeded any expectations we ever had.

We first booked our wedding for March 2020, having to postpone five times due to the pandemic, and the staff at the hotel were amazing. Finally having our day in November, 2021, every wee detail was perfection. We can't thank the staff enough, nothing was ever a bother. They went over and above to …

Deirdre and the staff at An Grianan Hotel couldn't have made our day any more perfect. Every detail was amazing. We got married during the pandemic, and had some restrictions, but the staff went over and above to ensure our day was still special. From the countless emails, phone calls and meetings …

with Deirdre before the wedding and changing dates three times, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Our day ran so smoothly, and all of our guests remarked on how beautiful the decor and food was. From the stunning suite, where our reception was, to the delicious food that was served, everything was perfect. We also had our pictures taken in the beautiful gardens, and they turned out absolutely beautiful, with all of the gorgeous scenery. The honeymoon suite was so luxurious, with the super sized bed, huge en-suite and of course the jacuzzi (we didn't want to leave). We had a beautiful breakfast delivered to our room the day after our wedding, which was also beautiful. I couldn't fault An Grianan Hotel for anything throughout our planning process or the wedding day. We couldn't thank Deirdre and the staff enough!!!!

wouldn’t change it! The food was outstanding, (I’ve been told the beef is to die for!), and the table service was fantastic too. Each and every member of staff was approachable, friendly, accommodating and attentive. So for any of you couples who are worrying/stressing about a Covid Wedding, my advice to you is don’t stress!! We had our perfect day with our 25 guests. The smaller reception room made it intimate, and the room decor was stunning!
Thank you to all at An Grianan Hotel!

years ago, were absolutely amazing. We could not have felt more comfortable or safe in the hotel environment, and the beautiful room they provided for our smaller wedding was absolutely stunning. It was so beautifully decorated, and the perfect location for a small intimate wedding, which was stress free. We were able to talk and spend time with our closest family and friends and take in all aspects of our day. The staff went above and beyond for us, and we could not feel more grateful our day felt like our day. While we knew we were a Covid wedding, it still felt like our wedding thanks to the wonderful hotel and the staff. The food was next to none, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests about all aspects of the hotel, the food, the facilities, the rooms. We can’t thank you enough, Deirdre. Barney on the door was the most amazing welcome, and thanks to all the staff for giving us our dream day. It’s one we will never forget, and I can’t recommend the hotel enough for weddings.

We got married In June, during the pandemic. We had an absolute ball, sharing our special day at An Grianan Hotel. The gardens and wedding venue are stunning, and they really save the hassle of trying to find a good place for photos. It is a one stop shop that can cater for all of the wedding …

parties, with their two studding suites. Due to the restrictions we had a smaller wedding and used the Magh Tuireadh suite, which was very intimate and was set up to perfection. Their wedding package has something to cater for everyone. Thank you for making our day so special, and a day that we will never forget. The hospitality and service was excellent and very professional throughout the day, nothing was ever a bother.
You have an amazing team, especially Deidre, who couldn't do enough for us. She always went over and above to assist in all situations, and she made sure we met all the restrictions from COVID.

An Grianan Hotel is the perfect venue for a wedding. We had the most precious, fun filled day of our lives. The staff at the hotel were excellent, from the initial planning to the actual day. Deirdre, the wedding planner, had all our requests met and nothing was ever a problem. Aisling, who looked …

after us throughout the day, was also so friendly and again nothing was ever a problem. All staff at the hotel were friendly and also very professional. Everyone made time to talk to us the day after our weeding, which was a nice personal touch.
The food was excellent, and all of our guests agreed. This was the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. The room was beautiful and spacious, very clean. My wife has worked in a lot of hotels, and could not fault it. All of our guests have commented that this was the best wedding they had been to! All I can say is that if you are looking for a wedding venue, look no further than An Grianan Hotel.

I cannot recommend An Grianan Hotel enough. We had to postpone our wedding twice, and it never even came across our minds about changing venues. We had the best day, everything ran like clockwork. We still have people commenting about how nice the food was at our wedding!

We had our wedding in An Grianan Hotel on October 8th 2021. We had the best day. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The staff were so kind and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us. The food was beautiful. Everyone is still talking about how well it was organized. Thank you everyone!

Myself and my husband had our wedding reception in the An Grianan Hotel on the 7th of June 2021. We honestly cannot recommend the An Grianan Hotel enough. From the early planning phases, Deirdre and the team were so accommodating and attentive, tailoring everything making the day just how we dreamed …

it would be. All the staff were wonderful and our guests were blown away with the hospitality that they received. On the day Deirdre seamlessly guided us through from arrival, speeches, dinner and dancing. The drinks reception and meal where absolutely fabulous. I would whole heartily recommend the An Grianan as a wedding venue, you will not be disappointed.

I’d say I’m lost for words on describing our wedding day but that would do a disservice to the lovely An Grianan Hotel.

Set in a stunning backdrop of Lough Swilly and Grianan of Aileach the fairytale location is an ideal wedding venue.

Deirdre was an amazing wedding coordinator helping us …

with all the small (thanks for the button holes help!) and large asks we had while guiding us both through the process and navigating any issues with a speedy grace of a professional that knows her trade inside and out.

Magh Tuireadh Suite suited our needs with a small wedding of 30 and the team at An Grianan Hotel transformed the room into a Ceremony stage then into our dinner and late night venue in a very quick time.

The staff ensured that nobody had an empty drink in front of them attending to everyone’s needs with promptness and all were super courteous and polite. While the glasses never got to empty, the plates were certainly cleaned though with every course on the menu being thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Deirdre and Aisling (might be misspelling) were amazing throughout and really made the day a success and were so accommodating for all our needs.

The honeymoon suite is truly a magnificent addition to this experience and the jacuzzi was a nice in room touch.

Thank you to everyone at An Grianan Hotel for making our wedding day truly a day we’ll never forget.

I'm genuinely finding it very difficult to express in words our sincere thanks to Deirdre and all the staff at An Grianan Hotel. I contacted Deirdre in October 2020 to ask if we could hold a wedding just 8 weeks later for 25 guests (due to restrictions). Not only did she accommodate us, but she …

treated us like she would any wedding party of 300 guests. She was extremely professional at every stage of the process, including on our big day, 30th December 2020. Whilst remaining professional, Deirdre ensured we had ticked every box for our wedding day and made us feel as though we were part of the furniture. We wouldn't have enjoyed the day half as much if it was anyone else.

If you want to book a wedding, or you're even considering it, take our advice and book An Grianan, especially if it's during the pandemic. Not only did An Grianan make us feel indredibly welcome, they also upheld the cleanest standards and abided by all social distancing guidelines.

My family are still commenting on how amazing the food was. We had a 6 course meal, all beautifully presented, and they even gave us an evening buffet. Some hotels prefer quality over quantity, some prefer quantity over quality - I can safely say An Grianan give you both!

The rooms were also very clean and beautifully presented.

Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone at An Grianan Hotel for your kindness, professionalism and most importantly, for making us feel part of the family during our big day! We can't wait to visit again for our 1st anniversary.

There's so much to say about the hotel but I cannot thank all the staff involved especially Deirdre, who helped reschedule and plan our wedding during covid, answering emails at anytime of day as we lived in England. The decor, service, accommodation and food for the wedding was the best I have ever …

experienced at a wedding. I feel proud and so delighted to had our big day there and would recommend to anyone else getting married. We had been lucky enough to make it to the fort for photos thanks to the hotels great location.
All the guests had a great time and were very impressed by our venue. Thank you again so much

Many Thanks

Only 1 word to use to describe this hotel 'AMAZING'. From when we booked our special day 2 years ago until the day itself nothing was ever a problem. We honestly thought planning a wedding would be stressful but when you have the right venue there is no stress, just easy sailing.

Deirdre, her …

wedding team, and all the staff here are brilliant. They will help you with all enquiries and never leave you waiting. The room is stunning, the service is exceptional and the food is out of this world. Also, so much value for your money if you are looking for a quieter day. Amazing selection of food and drink with all the extra added touches. Honestly cannot speak highly enough about this hotel.

Only thing left to say is thank you to everyone for making our day so special, and thank you for our 1 year anniversary gift, but we will be back before then.

We had the most amazing day here. The staff of An Grianan Hotel were first class and could not have been more helpful on our wedding day. Deidre was fantastic and could do no more for us. We had to rebook our wedding due to COVID-19 pandemic and it was Deirdre that helped us sort it out with ease. …

On our wedding day Ryan was dealing with us at the top table. I have to say he is an excellent member of staff. A very friendly and approachable and could do no more for you. He is a real asset to the hotel. The reception staff Claire and Siobhan were also very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and were very approachable and friendly. All of our guests that stayed in the hotel gave very positive feedback about the quality of the rooms. The food that we received for our wedding was high quality and delicious. It really is a great place to have a wedding. The Bridal suite was amazing with the Jacuzzi bath and the room was spotless as well as being absolutely stunning. Thank you so much to Deirdre and all of the An Grianan team for unforgettable wedding day

When we booked our Wedding with Deirdre in June 2018 we knew we had just booked the best venue; and on Sat 15th Feb we were not disappointed! We had the most amazing day at The An Grianan! The venue was perfect, the food was beautiful and the service was outstanding. Although we knew not to expect …

anything less. We have had nothing but compliments since our wedding day on how smoothly the day went and how amazing everything was. Richeal and Deirdre made sure that everything was in place to make our day perfect and it was definitely that! We cannot wait to return to hotel again soon, we love it! Thank you so much again!!

Love from Mr & Mrs McLaughlin. Xx

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the hotel and it was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked our wedding the staff went out off their way to help us with the planing.
We got to sample the food in the lead up to the wedding during a Sunday carvery, which completely blew us a away …

and quickly became our favourite spot for some Sunday lunch.
The day of the wedding ran very smoothly, thankfully, though this was all down to the hotel staff. The food was excellent and all our guests loved it.
This hotel is totally amazing and i would highly recommend the hotel not just for weddings but also for food.

From the day we booked the wedding with Deidre we were confidant that all would be perfect for my daughters wedding. It was. Every little detail was attended to and the room looked amazing on the day for the civil ceremony and equally as good for the reception a couple of hours later. the food was …

excellent and the service was top class. a number of our guests stayed the night before the wedding as well as the night of the wedding and every one of them were so impressed with the hotel, the food and the service. On the day of the wedding Gillian was amazing, looking after everyone and keeping everything flowing. thank you all so much for making Vicki & Mark's wedding perfect.

From the day we booked the wedding with Deidre we were more than confidant that all would be perfect for our wedding. Their attention to detail was second to none. The room was amazing, everything we wished it would be. The food was unreal, i could not have asked for more.On the day Gillian was …

We got married in an Grianan on Easter Saturday and We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding.

After living in Australia for 5 years, we were very worried about organising our wedding from over seas, but there was never any issues. Emails and phone calls were always returned very …

promptly.

My husbands family all traveled from Meath the day before an stayed in the hotel all weekend and were very impressed by their surroundings .

As it was Easter weekend they were very busy, however you would never have thought they were as nothing was too much trouble.

In particular, one of the staff members Chris (also night porter) could not have done enough for myself and our guests and he was there for the full 3 days that we stayed, ensuring everyone was fed and even helped to organise taxis for our guests.

On the day of the wedding the food was the best we could of asked for, steak was on the menu and as you can imagine, steak can be difficult to cook to everyone's liking, but again like everything else this was done perfectly.

Over all, we could not of asked for anymore from An Grianan.

Thank you

What can I say, fantastic!the venue was second to none and the staff were exceptional! We had beef and turkey/ham as our main course options, both were delicious and from what I seen from the beef, it was thicker than a sirloin steak! Everyone I was talking to had nothing but praise! The venue …

itself is set in a beautiful area with gardens to match! The circular room with the bar in the hall all added to the atmosphere and everyone seemed to have a great day and night! 10/10 from Megan and I, will be seeing you again soon!

What an amazing experience! My wife and I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding by having our reception at An Grianan Hotel on 8th April 2017.

We paid a visit to the hotel back in May 2016. From the moment we met with Deirdre (wedding coordinator) we both felt so comfortable and assured …

that we had found the best place. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was clearly explained of what was on offer from the hotel, but even after that the hotel were incredibly flexible from the very beginning up until the day.

We had the opportunity to taste all the food options well in advance and the service was exceptional, no one was left hungry.

As for the day itself, the hotel made sure it was fully prepared and aware of our plans every step of the way, so when it came to our big day we had nothing to worry about, the whole day from start to finish ran so smoothly and we were made to feel so welcome and like VIPs.

It wasn't just us as Bride and Groom who enjoyed our time at the hotel, but so many guests commented on how the hotel added to their stay in Ireland.

The best way to explain our wedding reception at An Grianan was that from the moment our day began we basically owned the hotel and that it was our home. We were so comfortable and happy with the staff, they knew us and wanted to make our day the best it could be.
