"What an incredible day we had at our Clandeboye Lodge wedding! From the very start, the staff were incredibly helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble. Their guidance in the lead-up made the whole planning process feel effortless. On the day itself we felt truly looked after which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. Our guests are still talking about the gorgeous food. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to the entire team for making our day so special."

“The Dressing Room Suite was incredible for getting ready on the morning of my wedding. I felt like a real-life princess. All my favourite people in one room, getting ready together, sharing so many laughs and happy tears. The space is so beautifully designed - every inch thoughtfully crafted. There’s even a lovely outdoor area, perfect for that popping champagne in our pyjamas photo. It was such a special morning, as everyone could relax and have fun getting ready together."

"The location was perfect for us! With Joe being from Leeds, it was so convenient for our guests to stay at the hotel and have easy access to Bangor and Belfast. We don't say this lightly, the standard of the food and bedrooms was exceptional. All our guests commented on how incredibly well the food was presented and how delicious each course was. The gardens, in particular, were immaculate and even our photographer mentioned how amazing they were.”

“Clandeboye Lodge was the first venue we viewed and we immediately knew it was the one! We had a Christmas wedding, or as some would say a 'GAA wedding', since it was during the off-season when we didn’t have any matches! It worked out perfectly and we were extra lucky to have the amazing Christmas decorations which made everything feel extra special. The team were amazing and so attentive - everything ran so smoothly because of them. Both we and our guests were absolutely blown away by the amazing day we had at Clandeboye Lodge. It truly is the best place to have your wedding!”

"Staying in the Ultra-luxe Suite the night before and on our wedding night was an incredible experience! The room was beyond beautiful and had plenty of space for all the pre-wedding preparations. We never felt crowded or on top of each other! The wedding team was truly amazing. They made us feel completely at ease and it honestly felt more like dealing with friends than a wedding team! It was the most perfect day for us and our guests, who are still talking about it as the best wedding they’ve ever attended!”

“Working closely with brides as a makeup artist, I hear endless feedback about various venues. I can confidently say that Clandeboye Lodge went above and beyond to create the perfect day for us and nothing compares! I loved how we were able to customise every detail to suit our own taste and preferences. The entire team worked with us to create our perfect day. The exceptional quality of food and service at the Coq & Bull made it an easy choice for a fabulous family meal the night before our wedding. The next morning, we utilised the Ultra-luxe Suite for getting ready and enjoyed having breakfast served right to our room. I truly felt like the only guest in the entire hotel!”

"We loved celebrating our wedding on New Year's Eve, as Christmas is a particularly special time for us. Everyone at Clandeboye Lodge really supported us to make it a fantastic day and the beautiful Christmas decorations added to the magic of the occasion. The venue's character really set the scene for our wedding day and everything else just fell into place. We even captured a fun sparkler photo in the outdoor area around the fire pit to celebrate the New Year in style!"

"From the moment we set foot in Clandeboye Lodge, we knew it was the one. In fact, it was the first and last venue we toured, and we booked it on the day! We attended the Clandeboye Lodge Wedding Fair around 2 months later. It was great to see the wedding suites beautifully set up and it also introduced us to a range of suppliers who filled us with inspiration and ideas! Chatting with each supplier helped us figure out what could fit our budget and who was free for our big day. We knew we wanted our wedding vibe to be fun, so we ended up booking giant lawn games which our guests absolutely loved! Without attending the Wedding Fair, we wouldn't have even thought about adding this to our wedding day!"

"Exploring a wedding venue is like viewing a house - you’re looking for that special warm fuzzy feeling - when you know, you know! No other venue hit us like Clandeboye Lodge - it just had it all. We had a clear timeline on when things needed to be done. Leading up to the day it was outstanding that even working with such a thriving venue, we felt like we were the only couple they were dealing with. Of course, we upgraded to the Ultra-luxe Suite for the night of our wedding. It was one of the most extravagant suites we have ever stayed in, with a brilliant backdrop for our wedding photos. The amazing copper bathtub, the waterfall shower and stunning space made our day feel so special!"

“The deciding factor for us about the Clandeboye Lodge was the Blackwood Suite, which blew us away, but we were impressed by so many other things too. Like the fact that our dog Tubbs was able to share our big day with us. Apparently planning a wedding can be a stressful process but the Clandeboye Lodge team accommodated our every need with smiles and encouragement. They also made sure outfit changes went smoothly for our traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Thank you for a stress free process and the most fantastic wedding day!”
