The whole team were extremely helpful from day one

Debbie and the whole team were extremely helpful from day one. We had a great day and all the guests commented on how relaxed it was. I am also celiac and the hotel ensured the food was gluten free for me. Would recommend the venue to everyone

We felt like the stars of the show

We had an amazing day and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day also. Both Corina and Debbie were so accommodating with any ask we had. When we reached the clayton, Corina greeted us with glasses of champagne and welcomed us in. We walked into the hotel and the atmosphere was superb. As the day and night continued we felt like the stars of the show. The food was amazing, no guest was hungry.

I cannot recommend them enough

We had our wedding in the Clayton on the 22nd of June and I cannot recommend them enough! It was an absolutely magical day thanks to all the staff who went above and beyond from the day we booked the venue. Everyone was so accommodating! Nothing was too much to ask for, we didn't feel an ounce of stress the entire day. Eduarda & The Wedding Team were there the entire time to ensure we were happy with everything.

From day one The Clayton was our hotel of choice

From day one The Clayton was our hotel of choice. When we met Debbie she was so helpful from the begining and nothing was too much of an ask. Everything went off without a hitch and the staff couldn't me more helpful. Karina took over our wedding for the last couple of weeks and the transition was seamless. The entire staff went above and beyond for both of us and all our guests. We would highly recommend the Clayton to our family and friends and look forward to visiting it again soon.

We had a fantastic wedding day at the Clayton

We had a fantastic wedding day at the Clayton. Eduardo was absolutely fantastic especially the week of the wedding when everything got really busy, she was always at the end of the phone if we needed her and very flexible with any changes we needed to make. It was truly a magical day. Thanks to all the team especially Molly.

The perfect location for us

We recently had our wedding reception at the Clayton Hotel. The venue itself is beautiful, and was just the perfect location for us. The staff were amazing as well! Every member of the team at the hotel was so helpful and friendly, but I have to say a special thank you to Eduarda, who just made the day extra special! Our day ran so smoothly, the food was delicious and everyone had a great day. If you’re considering the Clayton Hotel for your wedding I would highly recommend booking with them.

Everything was absolutely amazing and perfect

I had my wedding here on the 15th of august 2024. I was planning for 2 years. I knew straight away when I went into the Clayton that this was where I was getting married and also my reception. Everything was absolutely amazing and perfect, everything I wanted and more for my day. On the day, the hotel staff were a credit and we couldn't fault them. Also the wedding coordinator Eduarda was amazing, she always had me calm and if I was worried about anything said that I could email and also gave me

You made it so easy to organise our big day and ma

We would like to thank you very much for all of your hard work and effort. We had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Eduarda, Elaine, and all the team at Clayton Hotel Galway for our wedding day. They went above and beyond all our expectations. There wasn't enough they could do for us. We had so many extra little bits sent to the hotel and they sorted everything out. They welcomed our guests and vendors with open arms and the venue looked amazing. The Food was top class and the atmosphere was
