The Connaught Dream Team
We started our journey with The Connaught Hotel 2 years before getting married and from start to finish the team have been incredible. Attending wedding fayre days there and going for trips to have a drink and imagine the day we were planning really helped. The flexibility, patience, attention to detail if this team is credit to the amount of weddings they hold and help organise. Maria deserves a special mention from ourselves as she was our main contact throughout and went above and beyond, thank you so much. We will now enjoy the Connaught as a place to relax snd enjoy. The investment of where to hold our wedding day, was far bigger than just the day, it's a connection there after too.

Absolutely amazing
Nothing was to much for them they would rectify any little mistakes they did alot of little things that made a difference that was personal for us for example we lost the confetti they ran and found it they put our diffuser in out room after everything during the reception they joined and helped towards the speech which was great.. in the evening the bar tender even joined in the dance with the older people in the group so overall absolutely amazing thank you 😁

Couldn't have asked for better
After nearly two years of planning we got married at the Connaught in March. We cannot describe how wonderful this place has been. The venue is utterly beautiful, well kept and perfectly located. The staff are absolutely incredible from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble! It shows in everything they do that they truly are passionate about what they do. We cannot recommend this place enough to any couple looking for somewhere to have their special day, there really is nowhere better.

The best wedding venue and staff
When we first visited The Connaught as a potential wedding venue we were made to feel so welcome and listened to. The hotel has amazing photo opportunities both inside and outside and even has different rooms which you can get married in. Maria is so kind and helpful, every one of our guests commented on how nice the staff are, how lovely the rooms are and how delicious the food was. We could not have had a more perfect day, nothing was too much trouble for Maria, and she became like family.

Perfect Wedding Day
If you want a wedding with a brilliant package, events manager and service that runs with absolute efficiency, dedication and professionalism, look no further than the Connaught. Maria (our events manager at the Connaught) and her team have been phenomenal, on hand to answer any questions we have and take on much of the logistics. The wedding package gave us a beautiful outdoor wedding and drinks reception, prosecco for us as the bride and groom, the BEST three course meal and buffet and DJ.

A big thanks for our special day
The team at The Connaught helped to make our day better than we had ever imagined and I cannot thank them enough. Maria helped guide us every step of the way throughout the planning and made sure we had every aspect covered which took a lot of the stress away for us. On the day and throughout the actual set up I need to give special thanks to Christina, Kevin and Piotr all of whom helped to bring our vision to life and helped things keep running smoothly so we didn't have to worry.

Amazing day, amazing team
We recently got married at the connaught and the day was flawless. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much hassle, they really made the effort with all of our guests creating such a warm welcoming space.

Flawless - we wouldn’t change a thing
Maria and the Connaught team made our day an absolute dream. We are so glad that we made the decision to have our wedding at the Connaught. It is a stunning venue, from the ceremony room to the function suite and hotel rooms. The staff are absolute experts in weddings and ensured that our day was perfect through every detail. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to get married. I can’t thank the Connaught enough. We will be back ❤️
