Sean & Stephen - 21 May 2022

Myself and my husband, Stephen, were married in the Westgrove Hotel in May of 2022. Lorna Mc Keon was our wedding coordinator and we were blessed to have her. From the beginning, Lorna sat down with us and, before we even started talking about the wedding, she got to know us as people. How we met, what we were watching on Netflix (we both were watching Schitts Creek at the time) and created a foundation of trust with us. Having visited other hotels and met other wedding coordinators, most of them seemed to be a walking sales pitch, but Lorna was down to earth and told us her experience of working in the Westgrove and about her life. Her passion and her sense of humour made us fall in love with the place.

Being a same-sex couple, we were apprehensive about how we would be treated but, with Lorna, she only saw two people in love who wanted to get married. Our entire experience with the entire hotel felt genuine and respected.

Some family members had trouble booking in for the hotel. Lorna was quick to step in and help. We had some issues with the florist but Lorna was able to not only recommend a more appropriate florist but also got us in contact with them and ensured everything went off without a hitch.

The day of the wedding, Lorna kept us calm and even took us aside at one point just to take a breath and take everything in. She was kind and caring to both of us as well as each of our family members. Family means everything to us so to see someone be as loving with them meant the world to us.  The Westgrove hotel and its staff are truly amazing. It is where we were married, where we created a day we will always remember and where we will visit again and again. This is because of Lorna McKeon. She is the heart and soul of the hotel and we can never thank her enough.

Kelly & Jack - 07 October 2022

We cannot put into words how amazing this hotel and staff are! From booking our wedding in 2020 to now, they have all went above and beyond for us. Lorna has been a dream to work with! She’s so friendly, welcoming, calming and amazing at what she does. Nothing was ever an issue and she was always so happy to help and answer the many of questions we had throughout the past 2 years. You’re in very safe hands with Lorna! We went with the ‘all inclusive’ package. It’s most of the work done for you already. All of the suppliers are fantastic - leaving it very hard to choose. The food, drink and atmosphere in the hotel is out of this world!, not to mention the beautiful staircase! The amount of compliments we received from our guests about this venue was unreal. We even had a few book to stay again already! On the wedding day, Lorna & Bonnie made sure everything ran smoothly, along with looking after us and all of our guests. All of the staff involved were so friendly and professional. We had the best day ever and it’s all down to the amazing team at the Westgrove. Really cannot recommend this venue enough! It holds a special place in our hearts now. 

Naomi & Stephen 03 September 2022

I can not recommend the Westgrove highly enough from the moment we walked in to the hotel a year before myself and Stephen felt so at ease. Lorna was inviting, honest, funny and so professional we just knew there and then the westgrove was for us. I didn’t once worry not even on my wedding day Lorna and the team had everything handled. Even Lorna doing last minute dress alterations in the hall way and done without hesitation. They all went above and beyond for our wedding… The food was amazing the dessert to die for and the staff in the reception hall absolutely amazing they had everything timed so well and it made the experience even better.. A million thank yous wouldn’t be enough for what the westgrove done for us. 

Chrissie & Jody 28 August 2022

We had our wedding here and it was beyond amazing, it was everything we could ever have dreamed of and so much more. We couldn't have done it without Lorna who worked tirelessly with us to help create one of the most magical days of our lives. Big shout out to Bonnie for absolutely everything . There really aren't words to convey the professionalism and the creativity of this hotel. The food was absolutely amazing and the day ran like clockwork. The ladies on reception were so helpful and no request was too much.  Sharon in particular was a pleasure to deal with. Fabulous hotel , fabulous staff , fabulous day with fabulous memories made. 

Jenny & Bryan 14 August 2022

All around fantastic easy experience, Lorna and Debbie were amazing on the run up and on the day of the wedding. They made us feel relaxed and helped the day run extremely smoothly. I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with the Westgrove hotel. Everyone I have talked to have complemented how well the day went. I also would like to extend my thanks to Bonnie who was also with me throughout calming me down and announcing us into the dining hall, Thank you to everyone. Such a special experience, one that we won’t ever forget. 

Niamh & James - 13th August 2022

Myself and James aren't on social media, so we can't share our absolute joy at having our wedding at Westgrove with people in that way. So we wanted to send you some feedback here and say that if you wanted to share our contact details with anyone thinking about booking with yourselves, to please do so.

From the time we were shown around the venue before booking to checking out the morning after our wedding, our experience with the Westgrove Hotel was nothing short of exemplary. All the staff we interacted with - wedding planning, reservations, bar and restaurant - were an absolute pleasure to deal with and we felt so well looked after at every visit.

The whole wedding planning process was made so easy by having the package with yourselves, and I have to say each supplier we dealt with were absolutely lovely. I would recommend each of them to anyone booking their wedding in the future.

So many of our guests gave such enthusiastic feedback on the food and staff on the day itself, saying they were so well looked after. It was wonderful to hear that, so please do thank all the staff who took such good care of us on the day. 

The rooms we stayed in - the apartment on Friday and the Strawberry Suite on the Saturday - were both so comfortable and spacious, and the breakfasts both mornings (what of them we could eat!) were delicious.

Thank you for organising our guest book set up and ensuring everything was tidied up and organised for us to bring home again the next day. The spaces for the ceremony, drinks and dinner were all beautifully set up and to be honest, everything felt a bit like a dream! We were moved from one beautiful surrounding to the next, didn't have to worry about a thing and the day was just so much fun.

We had such a fantastic day, as did all of our guests, so if there's any website or survey we can leave our positive feedback for the Westgrove Hotel, please do let us know and we would be happy to share it. 

Thanks again to you both and your fantastic colleagues for a wonderful day!

Jenny & Graham 12 August 2022

I cannot recommend the Westgrove Hotel enough, i would give it 10 stars if i could. Our wedding was amazing. Lorna and the team were fantastic and I have to give a special mention to Bonnie who was also so helpful throughout. The food was fantastic and everything ran like clockwork. Every staff member in the hotel were so friendly and helpful. Every supplier went above and beyond for us. It was the perfect day / weekend and we will be returning for lots of family weekends in the future Just wish we could do it all over again

Leanne & Conor 29 July 2022

We had our wedding in The Westgrove on the 29th of July. From our very first visit we felt as though we had found our dream venue. 
The grounds are beautiful, the staircase is fabulous and the rooftop terrace where we held our ceremony was amazing.
Every member of staff that we met was professional, friendly and couldn't be any more helpful.

Lorna is just a beautiful soul to work with, you can tell she really loves her job. All messages were answered promptly by herself or Debbie, always helpful and always able to have a bit of banter about me being slightly nuts  they never made me feel as though I was a burden in anyway.
Bonnie kept the day running so smoothly, we've had numerous people compliment us on how well the day flowed and how it's the only wedding they've attended that everything ran to the exact times that it was meant to!

The wait staff were incredibly helpful and did a great job, and the bar staff were great fun all night!
The all inclusive package had everything you could need, the vendors are nearly all amazing to deal with and  go out of their way to be accommodating with any requests we had.

We had an entirely gluten free menu... the entire dinner including dessert, the canapés at the drinks reception, the midnight food and the breakfast the next morning. The kitchen staff really outdone themselves because it was delicious! 
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Westgrove to anyone  we had our dream day there and it was all thanks to the amazing and tireless work of the staff there. Thank you so much for everything, we can't wait to come stay again 

Lorraine & Damien – 1st July 2022

We had our wedding here on 01st July 2022 and it was amazing. From the moment we visited our 1st wedding fair at the Westgrove we knew it was the place for us but unfortunately due to covid we had to hold out longer than planned. But it was worth the wait. Everything was amazing, the venue, the ceremony room, the function room, the food, the staff, the rooms. Couldn't fault a thing. Lorna went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect for us and it really was. Looking forward to visiting again. 100% recommend the venue for any future couples. Thank you for everything. Lorraine & Damien

Louise & Brian - 24 June 2022

We had the most amazing day from start to finish in the Westgrove. Lorna  and Debbie answered all our questions with patience and no request was an issue for them. The room for the ceremony was so beautiful and romantic and the food was absolutely amazing. Each and every one of the staff went above and beyond to make our day the most perfect day that we could possible imagine. Everything was perfect and we could not have asked for any more. We would highly recommend the Westgrove hotel to any couples thinking about it. You will have the most amazing experience and a day to cherish forever. 

Gemma & Derek – 3rd June 2022

We loved the friendly, non-corporate feel of the hotel - especially from the staff. We were treated with respect and understanding. In other hotels it can feel quite cold and that they read from a script. In The Westgrove Hotel, we were made feel completely at ease. The friendly and professional were one of the highlights for us. The venue itself is beautiful and the All Inclusive Package took so much stress off of us in terms of organizing and planning the overall wedding. Highly recommend! 

Seán & Stephen – 20^th May 2022

From the beginning of us choosing The Westgrove we felt supported, respected and valued. Being a same sex couple can be difficult in how we are treated sometimes but from the very start, we were told that our wedding day was about love. The Westgrove saw us like any other couple yet made us feel like we were the most important people at the same time. Lorna, the Wedding Coordinator was the biggest asset and made our day special beyond our imagination

Alexandra & Christian - 18th December 2021

We had our wedding in the Westgrove Hotel on the 18/12/2021. There’s not enough stars to rate this hotel. Absolutely every single thing was perfect. The staff went above and beyond. From the very first day sitting with the incredible wedding coordinator Lorna to the big day itself she was truly amazing. I would relive the day over and over again and wouldn't change a thing. All the staff in the Westgrove are amazing and made our day so special.

Shauna & Paul – 27^th November 2021

The Westgrove was a wonderful venue for our wedding. We had a civil ceremony in the hotel followed by a beautiful reception. The team are so professional and helpful and the day went so smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Lorna and Ben were brilliant and helped us tailor the package to our own needs. Everyone at the wedding said how perfect it was. Couldn’t recommend it as a venue enough.

Elizabeth & Mark – 23^rd October 2021

From the day we booked our wedding in 2019 to our wedding day, Ben, Lorna and Ryan have been exceptional with their service, their responsiveness to our questions and the flexibility they showed to us was brilliant. No request was too big or too small.

Rebecca & Willie – 18^th September 2021

Couldn't fault the hotel they were always so friendly and helpful and the wedding coordinator Ben went above and beyond for us and nothing was an issue very professional

Aidan & Oksana - 1^st September 2021
