A Stunning Seaside Wedding Venue
Salthill Hotel is one of Galway’s most sought-after wedding venues, offering a unique setting that blends seaside charm with 4-star elegance. Our wedding suite overlooks the Salthill Promenade and Galway Bay, providing breathtaking views that make for truly memorable photographs and an atmosphere your guests will never forget.

The hotel’s seaside location also means you can capture stunning outdoor photographs along the Promenade, at Blackrock diving tower, or with Galway Bay as your backdrop — all just steps from the venue.
Dedicated Wedding Coordination
From your initial enquiry to the last dance, our experienced wedding coordinator Valerie will be by your side every step of the way. Valerie works closely with each couple to understand their vision and ensure every detail is planned and executed to perfection. From table arrangements and menu tastings to timing and logistics on the day itself, our team takes care of the details so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
Our coordination service includes guidance on room layout options, supplier recommendations for flowers, music, photography, and entertainment, as well as a full rehearsal walk-through before the big day. Couples consistently praise Valerie and the team for their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Exceptional Wedding Menus
Our head chef and culinary team take enormous pride in crafting wedding menus that delight every guest. Using the finest locally sourced ingredients from the West of Ireland — fresh Atlantic seafood, premium Connemara lamb, artisan Irish cheeses, and seasonal produce — we create bespoke menus that reflect your tastes and preferences. From elegant canapé receptions and five-course wedding banquets to relaxed BBQs and themed evening buffets, we offer a range of dining styles to match the mood of your celebration.
Wine pairings, cocktail receptions, and speciality drinks packages are all available, and our team is happy to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies to ensure every guest is catered for.
