We got married in Castleknock Hotel. Leone was our wedding coordinator, and she was just amazing to work with. Every little detail, she thinks of everything. She is so professional an amazing at what she does, and just an all-round nice person. She really puts you at ease.

The hotel itself was an amazing venue, a lot of compliments from our guests. We had the ceremony in the Hotel, and the room was set up beautifully. The garden looked great, so happy we got the weather to use it and get our photographs taken there.

The staff were brilliant, and the food was amazing (so were the cocktails), again a lot of compliments!! We couldn’t have had a better day. Highly recommend Castleknock Hotel.”

We had our wedding at the Castleknock Hotel and genuinely couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. Organising everything from Australia, we thought it might be a challenge but Ciara and Leone, our incredible coordinators, made the entire process feel effortless. They were responsive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Nothing was too much to ask, they said “yes” to everything we hoped for and helped us tailor the day exactly the way we wanted it.

From start to finish, the staff, the food, the rooms, and the venue itself were flawless. Our 145 guests haven’t stopped raving about how amazing everything was.

Heartfelt Thank You to Castleknock Hotel and the Incredible Wedding Team. From the moment we chose Castleknock Hotel as our wedding venue, we were truly blessed to be paired with Leone and Ciara as our wedding coordinators. From start to finish, their advice, support, and wealth of knowledge were invaluable.

Walking into the process, we really didn’t have a clue where to start, but they guided us every single step of the way — always one step ahead, reminding us of the things we’d never have thought of and gently steering us in the right direction.  With two children and full-time jobs, life is hectic, and planning a wedding felt like a mountain we’d never climb. But Leone and Ciara made it all not only manageable, but genuinely enjoyable. They were the ultimate support system. No question was ever too big or too small — they handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Their recommendations for the day itself were spot-on and made everything run so smoothly. There really was nothing they couldn’t do.

On the day of the wedding, their presence was exactly the right balance — involved where needed, but never intrusive. Leone was like a fifth bridesmaid. She made me feel so comfortable, like I could trust her with anything — and I truly could. She even managed to get one of my favourite photos of the day, one I’ll treasure forever. She had a way of making everyone — from the smallest children to our older relatives, even our photographer — feel seen, valued, and completely at ease. Honestly, without Leone, Ciara, and the entire wedding coordination team at Castleknock Hotel, our day wouldn’t have been the same. Their dedication, warmth, and expertise made it magical. We’ll always be grateful.”

“You made the whole experience personable and supported us the whole way through to make sure we got everything for our big day from the little things to the more important things. We will be forever grateful to have had your team with us on the day. You can use the above as testimonial however we want to say that we will be forever grateful for the experience we had in Castleknock for our wedding day and in the run up to it.

Leone and Ciara made sure we got everything done and gave us all the advice we needed to pull off what was a brilliant party. They kept in touch and kept us in order too as we were a bit slow to get suppliers in place. They were amazing in every way. I would also love to thank Rachel who looked after us from the dinner. She was the loveliest lady who couldn’t do enough for us and so attentive. The food and layout of everything was beautiful.

As a bride I not have got through the morning of the wedding without Leone by my side. She really is a beautiful soul, and any couple would be very lucky to have her support. Both Leone and Ciara made us feel very special and everyone else on the team from the reception, bar staff on the night, the coordinated on the night who I can remember his name. I have already praised Castleknock to anyone who will listen and I’m sure our guests are too. Thank you all so much”

“We had the most incredible experience at Castleknock Hotel for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Ciara! From the moment we started planning, Ciara was an absolute dream to work with. She was so attentive, professional, and always made sure everything was on track, while also making us feel completely at ease. Her kindness and genuine care for our day made all the difference – we truly felt like we were in the best hands.

The hotel staff were equally amazing. Every detail was taken care of, and everyone was so helpful and accommodating throughout the day. The venue itself is stunning, and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect for our celebration. Ciara and the team made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Our guests were blown away by how beautiful and seamless everything was. The food, the service, the atmosphere – it was all top-notch. We’re so grateful to Ciara and the entire Castleknock Hotel team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

“We want to say a massive thank you for all your help with the wedding. You were brilliant from the first day we met and booked the wedding right up until your clock out time on the day. You both made sure we had nothing to worry about and just got to sit back and enjoy the day – which we very much did. Even the delayed photographer was handled so quickly by you both and stood in and took lovely pictures for me too – He was so apologetic and very much made up for it throughout the day. He is phenomenal – came up while I changed shoes and took a few other pictures he would have taken first thing. All the guests (and family who hate pictures) loved how quick he got through everything we wanted and the photo booth he did went down a treat, he was kept very busy with that.

We had a fantastic day from start to finish and everyone raved about the cocktails and every piece of food that came out. The two lads behind the bar were brilliant too, and looked after everyone/put up with us for the night – they were brilliant, they lived the band as much as everyone else said they were the best they had heard – 2 fabolous  lads there… We couldn’t have asked for anything more from you both and everyone at the hotel, everyone was fantastic and looked after us and all the guests so well. Thank you so much.Band and DJ were phenomenal too, ones you could recommend to future brides and grooms… brilliant at getting guests involved from the minute they hit the stage. Can’t thank you enough for everything and will come over after the honeymoon.”

“From the first minute to the final minute the support and professionalism we had was outstanding. I (bride) am not the best at organising and planning so was quite nervous at the thought of planning my biggest day. But from day one when we met the lovely Ciara, we were put at ease her calm friendly demeanour put us at ease straight away.

We were set up with a wedding app that simplifies everything and ensures no detail is missed. We were not never said no every detail we wanted was achievable with sound advice and guidance thrown in our day went without a hitch fantastic food and drinks and me and my husband was tended to the whole day making us feel very special.

One of our favourite evenings was the menu tasting the knowledge the service team had on all food and wine was top and again food was fabulous. so, we would highly recommend the Castleknock hotel and the amazing Ciara to plan your biggest day”

“Our wedding coordinator Leone – she made our wedding day. Completely supportive, guide throughout. Incredibly enthusiastic. I’m coeliac and I’ve been blown away by their gluten free food! The interior design of the entire hotel is absolutely stunning!! – we had dinner after our rehearsal, breakfast, a day 2 lunch as people were heading, all in different locations with different settings.

A genuine family friendly venue! Super friendly staff all throughout that genuinely seem to love their job (check out their Instagram, they have such banter!) Photographs on site in the wedding garden. Swimming pool and gym – really relaxed stay the night before / day after. Stunning bridal suites and guest accommodations. Put up Christmas decorations for us a little early!”
