Breda & Stephen Crehan 22nd June 2024

It gives me great satisfaction and honour to write this full heartily. Raheen Woods hotel and all staff including Oisin, Catherine and Lisa gave us the utmost respect, diligence to our wedding on 22nd June gone. The service was unbelievable, great customer and managers care was given to us from start to finish.

We absolutely are thrilled we chose Raheen Woods Hotel Athenry as our wedding venue as from start to finish their promise to us for an unforgettable wedding day we had they surely delivered, it felt they had just us to look after it was remarkable all the time, effort, dedication and precision they gave to us as a bride and groom and all our guests and suppliers.

For that were entirely grateful and will definitely re visit Raheen Woods again on many occasions as we loved the vibes, the service and found them very easy to deal with.

Katie & Shane Stone 12th April 2024

Oisín, Lisa & Catherine,

Firstly we would like to say a massive thank you to you all and to the rest of the staff. From the first day we visited the hotel everyone has been so helpful.

You all made the wedding planning so easy and stress free and we are very grateful for that.

On the day every member of staff was so kind and helpful. Ye thought of everything to help both myself and Shane, and nothing was too big or too small.

So many of our guests commented on how amazing the food was and how efficient the staff were. Every part of the hotel was decorated beautifully and

added to the atmosphere for our wedding. Every detail was taken care of and thought of by ye. From the food for us getting ready on the morning to Guinness for Shane. We honestly couldn’t have dreamt of anything more perfect than what ye gave us.

Thanks again,

 Shane & Katie Stone.

Lisa & Colm 6th April 2024

From the moment we first met Oisin it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with him and all the staff in the Raheen Woods Hotel.

They were so accommodating throughout and helped us in any way that they could. From their trips to recommendations and all their help along the way, they were wonderful to deal with. In the lead up to the wedding, Lisa in particular was extremely helpful and answered any questions that we had. On the day itself everything ran smoothly with Oisin and Catherine keeping an eye on things along with all the other members of staff. It was one of the best decisions that we made to have our wedding reception in the Raheen Woods Hotel. They went above and beyond for us and we could not recommend them highly enough.

Thanks again, Lisa & Colm

Aisling and Paul Burke 28th October 2023

We got married on October 28th and we honestly had the best day ever at our wedding in the Raheen Woods Hotel!  We knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding after the first time we visited and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.  

The service we received from start to finish was fantastic. Oisín and the whole team were a dream to work with.  

The décor in the De Burgo suite and the grounds of the hotel is absolutely beautiful.  

On the day the team looked after us, our families and guests so well. The food was delicious and the service provided by all the staff was terrific. There was plenty of food, including extra servings.  

We have spoken to our guests since and everyone we spoke to have told us how much they enjoyed everything about the day.  

 Thank you Oisín and all the team for looking after us so well from start to finish and for making our day so perfect and special.

Therese & Brian 26th August 2023

What can I say but what a fabulous place to get married and a definite recommendation. From day one we felt nothing but welcome in the Raheen Wood. We were informed about everything, Given step by step guide on how the day goes everything was A1 and on the day it didn't disappoint. 

All the staff were welcoming and smiling, helpful and caring. The Food is amazing and I can't fault it. Value for money is also 2nd to none. Some prices we were offered were shocking. 

I found the Raheen to be great for our young kids, it was private to the rest of the hotel, swimming pool, soft play area, entertainment room perfect for our little ones. Thank you Oisin and gang for a fab day. 

 Love Therese, Brian, Siofra and Feena

Edel and Denis 25th August 2023

A huge thank you to Oisín, Catherine, Lisa and all the team at the Raheen Woods for hosting both our wedding ceremony and reception. Lisa, you were so efficient and always on the ball behind the scenes keeping us up to date.
From day one Oisín put us at ease with his down to earth personality and professionalism which shone throughout our wedding day. Behind every good man is a great woman and boy did we get lucky; Catherine, what a lady, so genuine and helpful. There was nothing this duo couldn't do for us.

We are so delighted we picked the Raheen Woods for our special day. An elegant hotel, beautiful gardens for pictures and most importantly amazing staff, which our guests praised continuously.

It really is true: A place is only as good as the people in it. Thank you all so much.

Lots of Love Edel and Denis xx

Lorraine & Robert 11th August 2023

 We want to thank you all so much for the most amazing day ever.

When I first met Oisin back in July 2023 I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know the first thing about organising a wedding but after speaking with him for a few minutes I knew Raheen Woods was the place. He made me feel so at ease. The package he offered me was absolutely class I honestly couldn’t believe everything was included for the price. The hotel was decorated so beautifully for the wedding as well which was all included. The lead up to the wedding both Lisa and Oisin were in contact in regard to the rooms and the big day. 

On the day of the wedding when I arrived at the hotel Oisin was there to greet me along with another staff members. 

One thing everyone pointed out was the service. It was out of this world, you wouldn’t see it in 5star hotels. Oisin and staff you are just amazing at what ye do. The food was perfect; everything was just perfect.

I could go on for days about just how amazing everything was. “The best wedding we have ever been to “is what we are hearing from everyone, and that’s all down to ye!

Thanks again for everything.

Ciara & David 14th July 2023

 Oisin and all the staff were amazing to deal with from the minute we booked until the day after our wedding. There was no request too big or too small for them and they always got back to us straight away when we contacted them. A special thank you to Lisa for all her help with rooms and table plans etc. 

 Everything on the day ran so smoothly and that’s all you can ask for as a couple. From the beautiful decor in the hotel to the amazing food and the excellent service, we couldn’t have been happier.

The attention to detail was second to none, Oisin, Catherine and Pawel greeted us with umbrellas and were always on hand to fix my dress. 

 Oisin is truly amazing at what he does and made the planning so much easier for us. He is very passionate, attentive and professional and we felt at ease in the lead up to our big day. 

 We are so delighted we chose the Raheen Woods as our wedding venue and would highly recommend it to any couples trying to choose theirs.

Hala & Paul 28th April 2023

What sealed the deal for us was when we had a chat with Oisin (the manager). We had previously come and checked the hotel as we wanted to feel the vibes on a regular day and see if they matched our vibes and what we wanted as a couple.  Yet when meeting Oisin, we felt very comfortable and able to share all of our ideas and ask any questions we thought of.

After we decided to have the wedding there, things went smoothly, and any email we sent was answered fully and efficiently. 

The wedding day was amazing, the staff were very nice and helpful, we were very relaxed during the day and everything was very smooth.

 We would highly recommend the hotel.

 If Carlsberg did wedding venues and wedding planners...

We recently had our wedding at the Raheen Woods Hotel. From the moment we met Oisin we knew this was 'the one' for us. Oisin and the staff couldn't do enough for us, even answering my million questions! We had the best day of our lives and all the guests were so complimentary of the hotel. You can see how this venue stands out, all the staff are like one big family, they couldn't do enough for us. The day ran so seamlessly, this is a testament to Oisin and his team. Catherine and Pawel were also superstars on the day, they made us all feel so much at ease. From the start of our wedding journey to the end we cannot thank you guys enough, ye were always at hand to help. To anyone considering the Raheen Woods as a wedding venue, we would recommend it a million times over.

Fiona & Joe, 25th October 2020.

Our first contact in the Raheen Woods Hotel was Oisin. He was very helpful to both of us. We are both local to Athenry and always heard of how wonderful weddings are there. A fabulous hotel with extremely very welcoming and helpful management and staff. We got married in the pandemic with reduced numbers due to restrictions. The décor and ambience of the function room for our reception was absolutely fabulous. The meal was only out of this world and would recommend the hotel 100%. Thank you again to all at the Raheen Woods in who made our wedding day so special.

Christina & Michael, 3rd September 2020.

My husbands family have been going to RWH for over a decade now - for birthdays, communions, confirmations and graduations. It’s always been a very special place to our whole family but as of the 3rd of September last year it is even more special to us all - my husband and I in particular! This is because we were luck enough to have the reception to our wedding day at RWH on that very special Thursday. Myself and Michael had been engaged for over two years and together for almost eight at the time and our wedding was due to be held three months earlier in Belfast but due to Covid was cancelled - more than once.

Then, our family suffered a terrible loss. Michael’s granny passed away very suddenly in June of 2020. This shattered everybody’s world and came as such a shock to us all. Granny (as everyone called her) had made myself and Michael promise that after so much upset and postponements that no matter what we would get married on the 3rd of September (our second set date), even if it meant getting married in Mayo rather than in Belfast as originally planned. After weeks of grieving and wondering what to do about our wedding day, we made the decision to keep that promise to Granny.

She also absolutely loved Raheen Woods Hotel - in fact the last big celebration we had had there was her 70th birthday party just a few years before! So, when we faced the reality that we would be getting married in Mayo there was no other hotel that we would have even considered!

Within the space of just a few short weeks, worries about ever changing restrictions and amazing help from the team and staff at RWH, we had our big day with 32 people and when I tell you it was a fairytale it really was! The stuff of dreams!

Even though we know how amazing the staff are at RWH, we never expected what we got considering they only had 3 weeks to organize everything.

The room was absolutely stunning - an absolute dream! The service and food was amazing and we didn’t even feel the 11pm curtain call because we had had such an amazing day!

We can’t thank Oisín, Lester and Maria enough for all of the effort they put in to make or big day so special! Also, thank you so much to Detta, Joe, Jordan and the other lovely servers who helped everything go off flawlessly on the day. A massive thank you to Pawel for hosting a gin tasting for our day two aswell - he was amazing and we all had so much fun! Us newlyweds and a couple of our close friends spent a third night at RWH for dinner and a few drinks before traveling home the following morning and everything was amazing then too! Lester and Oisín kindly helped us to the cars with our bags on departure too.

As I said before, Raheen Woods Hotel has always had such a special place in mine, Michael’s and our family’s hearts and it will forever be even more special due to that amazing day we had on the 3rd of September 2020.

Everyone still talks about our wedding day almost six months later and I we have no doubt we’ll still be talking about it for many years to come!

We can’t wait until we can get back to our home away from home!

 Love, Christina & Michael McGuinness

David & Martin, 1st November 2019. 

We had the most amazing day at our wedding in the Raheen Woods hotel. We can not recommend them enough as a wedding venue. Frances and all the hotel staff were incredible and looked after us and everything we needed and asked for. The whole day was a magical experience.

Michelle & Thomas Durnin, 19th July 2019.

 We met Oisin Nevin on the 7th October 2018 after a friend told us we just had to check out the Raheen Woods Hotel as a possible venue for our upcoming wedding. The second we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and a friendly face. We briefly explained what we wanted and without hesitation or delay we were directed to a Mr Oisin Nevin. Oisin asked us what our dream day looked like, no matter how simple or extravagant, he assured us he could help us. 

We were shown to the ballroom/ceremony room and I was immediately struck by the hotels amazing decor and attention to detail, in every aspect. We were given copious amounts of information, more than any other establishment we had visited since becoming engaged. We left with smiles on our faces and there and then decided it was definitely the place we wanted to marry. From there on we worked with Frances Doyle together with Oisin and to say they were helpful and cooperative and informative wouldn’t do them justice. No request was too big, no email was unanswered no call was missed. They were unbelievably accessible and always available to give me the best advice or answer any query I had . I knew we were in good hands for our big day.

On the day itself we were blown away, they literally brought our dreams to life, I didn’t have to think about a single thing, not one, as they had everything under control. Frances the life saver was not only my coordinator for the day she became my fourth bridesmaid, my stand in child minder, my photographers assistant , my relative wrangler and 100 other things all while keeping the day running smoothly and retaining a smile on her face like it was nothing, I genuinely don’t know how she does it but she deserves all the recognition for her amazing work, they both do. Oisin I soon learned ran the smoothest sailing ship when it came time to our reception, the staff at the Raheen Woods Hotel are like no other I’ve encountered. Each and every guest at our wedding commented on how they couldn’t do enough for them as they glided around the ballroom. Oisin and Frances made sure we were at ease and relaxed 100% of the time and our two girls who were our flower girls were made to feel like princesses. I would highly recommend Raheen Woods Hotel to any future bride and groom, but I recommend Oisin and Frances more if that’s even possible. We were incredibly lucky to have them as our guides on this momentous occasion and I’m proud to call myself a Raheen Woods Hotel Bride.

Regina & Declan, 14th June 2019.

We had our wedding reception at the Raheen Woods hotel on the 14th of June. We were impressed from day one when we met Lester and he took us through everything the hotel has to offer. It certainly did not disappoint and we are so delighted we chose the Raheen Woods Hotel for our wedding reception.

Frances, our co-ordinator was a dream to work with, nothing was too much of an ask. Leading up to the wedding she gave us very valuable advice on the little details that you wouldn't have even thought of and was brilliant on the day itself ensuring everything was perfect and we and all our guests had everything we needed.

The hotel itself is beautiful with a separate entrance and lobby exclusive to the wedding party and was very tastefully decorated for our wedding. The gardens are fabulous and the outdoor seating was welcomed on the sunny afternoon.

The food was exceptional and the service provided by Frances, Oisin and all the staff on the day was superb. They were so  professional, approachable and friendly.
This has all been reiterated again and again to us by many of our wedding guests.
The bar was well staffed with experienced bartenders and a prompt service which was so important to us.

We would like to thank you for making our special day so amazing and relaxed and we highly recommend the Raheen woods to any couple looking for the perfect venue.

Regina & Declan

From the first meeting with Frances, we knew the Raheen Woods Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. There is such a welcoming, friendly atmosphere in this beautiful hotel.

Lynn & Conor, 5th April 2019.

We had our wedding in The Raheen Woods Hotel Athenry on April 5th. From the moment we met Frances we knew that our wedding would be everything we wanted. During the preparations she was always available to answer any questions or offer advice. On the day she was simply amazing, from fixing the veil, calming nerves and bustling the dress she really exceeded all expectations. The whole team at the hotel were so friendly, helpful and professional and as a result our wedding day was truly fantastic.

Joanne & Brian, 12th October 2018.

From the moment we met Frances; bubbly, warming and professional. She made choosing the Raheen Woods a very easy one. She went through in so much detail what Raheen Woods had to offer. She listened to our needs and our requests and did not disappoint. Frances efficiency and regular contact made the lead up to our wedding very stress free. On the day of the wedding  we were so relaxed as we knew France, Oisin, Pawel and the Team would look after us, our families and our friends but they exceeded our expectations. Constantly checking in with everyone to ensure they had enough to eat, their exquisite professionalism serving the top table and the friendliness of all the staff both the night of the wedding, at reception  and in the breakfast room. We can't thank you enough for how much you made our day so special. 

Thank You, Joanne & Brian.

Amanda & Fergal, 24th August 2018.

Fergal & myself were married in the Raheen Woods on Friday the 24.08.2018. Our very first encounter with Frances & staff we were hook line and sinker.... Frances, Lester, and Oisin could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We meet with Frances and within minutes I knew that this is where we would have our wedding day, She was so helpful and amazing in every way. We were so impressed by the service that all the staff provided to us on the lead up to our wedding day and the day itself. We never felt like just a number with the Raheen Woods, we felt that we mattered and that management and staff would bend over backwards to assist us in our planning and they did in every way possible.

The location was perfect for both families & friends. The function room itself was perfect for our number of guests (220). It was big but yet cosy and intimate and also exclusive to the rest of the hotel. Reception area is perfect with a nice bar area. The food that was served on the day was nothing but delicious. It was vey hot, tasty and great presentation. There was no table left waiting and had plenty of everything. The staff were amazing and helpful to all the kids which meant a great deal to parents. The owner Lester was going around with gravy I mean that to me speaks volumes in a business now days. We have spoken with a number of our guest since the day and everyone has raved about the friendly and professional staff and the family atmosphere they experienced throughout their stay at the Raheen Woods. Guests have even said they will book a weekend back to Raheen Woods in the summer next year with their families as they were so impressed.

I would highly recommend the Raheen Woods to any couple who are looking to get married. Frances, Oisin and Lester catered to our every need and request throughout the whole wedding process.

We wanted our day to be perfect and we set our standards high as it is one of the most important days of your lives and I can honestly say that our expectations were met.

Frances, Oisin and Lester, we are so grateful to ye for making our wedding day one of the most memorable days of our life.

From the bottom our hearts thank you so much for everything.

All our love

Amanda & Fergal Casey.

Roisin & John, 30th June 2018.

We picked the Raheen Woods as our wedding venue because of all of the little extras offered in the package. We had also been to a wedding there a few years back and really enjoyed our experience as guests. As a half Irish/half Scottish wedding we were delighted to see the option of a bagpiper came as part of the package!! We were not disappointed.

We live in Scotland so planning a wedding from abroad could have been tricky but the Raheen Woods made it easy for us. We had a couple minor issues which we had to raise with the hotel during planning but in all our dealings the hotel staff were professional, courteous, and everything was resolved to our satisfaction.

Frances in particular was an absolute star in the lead up and particularly the day before when the groom and groomsmen were setting up. She had great advice on the best way to do things and helped with setting up the tables the way we wanted but also in a way that worked for them. She even helped assemble our cake for us the morning of the wedding!!

On the day the staff could not have been more accommodating to us and to our guests. Many of our guests’ feedback was on how great the staff were, always making sure everyone was happy. We had several guests with dietary requirements and they all reported being very well catered for. Our three-year-old nephew at one point had a meltdown during dinner and my sister said the staff were very attentive, seeing if they could help in any way. Our two-year-old niece was also asleep when dinner was served but the staff made sure to serve her dinner fresh when she woke up an hour later – a lovely gesture which wasn’t requested but much appreciated.

We have had feedback from loads of our guests on how great the food was – both the quality of the dishes and the fact we were offered seconds of meat, veg and sauces. Guests also fed back on how great the cutting of the meat ceremony was with the head chef Paul.

We cannot thank the staff enough for always seeming to go above and beyond to make sure our guests and ourselves were happy – even the following day, at breakfast and picking up our bits from the function room.

Aside from the wedding; the suite, the reservation staff, bar, leisure centre and spa were all excellent. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to stay in the hotel again!

Many thanks again,

John and Roisín

Ruth & Pat, 25th May 2018.

Ruth and I were married in the Raheen Woods last Friday the 25/5/18, from our very first encounter with the staff and the location, we were blown away. Frances, Lester, Brian and Oisin could not have been more helpful and accommodating and they catered to our every need. We were so impressed by the service that all the staff provided to us on the lead up to our wedding day and the day itself.

The location is beautiful and the food that we were served on the day cannot be matched. We have spoken with a number of our guest since the day and everyone has raved about the friendly and professional staff and the family atmosphere they experienced throughout their stay at the Raheen Woods. If anyone is the process of looking for their perfect location on their big day, look no further than the Raheen Woods and their staff.

Frances, Brian, Oisin and Lester catered to our every need and request throughout the whole wedding process without query. We wanted our day to be perfect and we set our expectations very high and I can honestly say that our expectations were met and then exceed by a great deal.

Frances, Brian, Oisin and Lester, we are so grateful to ye for making our wedding day one of the most memorable days of our life. Thank ye so much.

Pat and Ruth Foley
