- AAdam & Kim24/03/2024The prefect day The prefect dayThe team at the Laichmoray hotel are simply amazing. They went out of their way to make our special day one full of perfect memories. We had no venue decorator and a wedding booked the day before ours, but this wasn't a problem as Sean, Kenny and the team did all our decor set up for us. To us, that was going above and beyond, first class service! Our day ran smoothly and that is all testament to the professionalism of the team! Everything just happened seamlessly and we were all well and truly looked after. Nothing was too much hassle for them, including a fussy bride wanting her own separate menu! Exquisite gardens make an excellent back drop for photos. Highly recommend having a wedding here! The team at the Laichmoray hotel are simply amazing.

- LLisa Lowe12/03/2024Brilliant service from start of planning to the big day!Brilliant service from start of planning to the big day!I got married here in 2010, I chose Laichmoray after viewing a few other hotels but Laichmoray really stood out from the rest. Their seasonal gardens are beautiful for photos and are maintained to a high standard. The staff were lovely throughout the process from viewing to the big day, nothing was a hassle. The meal we had was delicious, there are a few of my guests who still talk about their meal from our day. The service and amazing food we had on our day led to my brother and sister booking their weddings here, it’s like a family tradition. My brother got married in July 2022 and my sister in August 2022 with each of their big days going just as smooth as mines did all those years ago.I got married here in 2010, I chose Laichmoray after viewing a few other hotels but Laichmoray really stood out from the rest.
