Amazing Venue and Wonderful Team
I have had the pleasure of officiating many weddings in The Glenside Hotel over the years, and on every visit, the team is so welcoming, friendly, and helpful.   I love our little chats and catch-ups, it's like a home away from home.  The entire team go above and beyond for their couples.   The proprietors, Karan and Aogán, have done an amazing job modernising the hotel and together are a dream team.   I can't wait to be back in The Glenside Hotel to celebrate and officiate more weddings in the future.

Wedding during Storm Éowyn! An amazing day
Myself and Jessica had the best time of our lives. From the moment we stepped into The Glenside, the staff were amazing. We were so looked after on a 5* personal level. Karen and Aogán (owners) are the most nicest and genuine people you’ll ever meet. They made everything feel special and made sure they looked after every request we asked. All the hotel staff were amazing. The food was amazing, the hotel has just been renovated so the rooms & everywhere look outstanding. The Glenside will always have a special place in our hearts and we will always remember the time we had. I cannot fault anything at all with this hotel or our wedding, because they made everything go so smoothly. Even with the Storm Éowyn happening on our wedding day, they told us they will make it work and that they did! I cannot believe the effort the hotel had put into our day, even letting the staff stay the night before, so our wedding could go ahead! Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend The Glenside!

Beautiful venue with the most professional staff
I've been a supplier to the Glenside Hotel for several years now as a Wedding Photographer. I love being involved in weddings here, the layout of the hotel enhances the intimate atmosphere of any wedding while the hotel's decor and gardens provide the perfect backdrop to capture stunning photos to last a lifetime. Being a supplier I get to see the behind the scenes operation that bring wedding days together. The attention to detail and the professionalism from the staff is spectacular.

A magical day we will remember forever
Kieron & I got married at The Glenside on 26/10/2024. What a magical day it was, we will remember it forever. Huge thanks to Karen for all her help along the way as we only had 3 months to plan our dream wedding. The fantastic wedding packages Karen has put together make it less stressful for the happy couple. We have so many people to thank, from the fabulous hardworking team at the Glenside to all the wonderful suppliers.
