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.

The Couple’s Experience

Jade & Paul
We had a fantastic day at the Salthill hotel, Valerie and her team catered to every need for us. The staff were absolutely incredible and kept on top of everything.
From the moment we were at the venue they made sure everything was perfect. The reception area was just how we envisioned it and every detail we wanted was there.

Michelle & David
We enjoyed our wedding day so much, everything went so smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Even the lead up to the wedding, we felt very calm as we knew everything was organised without any hassle. We had so many of our guests telling us they had such a good day and how nice the meal was.

Lauren & Thomas

Myself and Tom just wanted to send and email to thank you, Shane and all of the team in the Salthill Hotel for an incredible day on Saturday 29th of November for our wedding!. We had the most amazing time and we couldn’t fault a single thing. From the moment we met you Valerie, we felt looked after. We were put completely at ease from start to finish. The service, the food, the advice and the care with which our day was handled will never be forgotten. We are blown away by it all and have had nothing but positive feedback and beautiful messages from friends and family about the day, food, service and venue. We can’t thank you enough for looking after us. Special mention of thanks to you, Shane and Eoin who looked after us at the top table and ensured we had everything we needed. You all made the day run so smoothly and we are on an absolute high over it. Incredible job well done to you all.
