We recently had our wedding at The Lord Bagenal Inn and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the very first day we got in touch, everything was seamless and completely hassle-free. Sue, Niall, and Connie were an absolute dream to deal with. Their attention to detail was second to none and they truly went above and beyond to make sure every part of our day was exactly how we imagined it — and more. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the entire process feel effortless, which is such a gift when planning a wedding. The venue itself was stunning, the food was amazing, and the service was flawless. We felt so well looked after and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. We can’t thank the t

We booked our wedding with Sue and the team in the Lord Bagenal in Jan 2024 for our December wedding. From our first meeting, Sue was professional, flexible, and made all our requests come true. We opted for our ceremony and reception in the one venue which leant itself to being a very laid back and lively event. The staff catered to over 200 guests and the food was fantastic. On the day both Sue and Niall were on hand to answer any further requests and all the staff were so friendly and ensured our day went perfectly. We stayed for two nights in order to truly enjoy the celebrations and we have been inundated from friends and family with compliments for the hotel. We are so grateful to a

Well what can we say about the lord bagnal! There is not enough words we could say that gives the bagnal the recognition they deserve. Sue our wedding coordinator is just professional from start to finish from the moment we met her we where just so excited about our journey nothing was ever to much trouble for her she catered to every question or suggestion we had and was always very quick at getting back to us and we hope the bagnal realises what a massive asset she is to the place and deserves one heck of a bonus! Nial was just superb as well what a guy he is nothing was ever to much on the day he got what was needed done in a quick and professional manner along with a sense of fun and warmth he brings as well and the rest of the staff where all amazing with a few guests unfamiliar with the bagnal the staff showed the place at its finest from the ba

We met sue in July 2023 she was so friendly & welcoming. There and then we decided the lord bagenal was for us. Every email I sent to sue throughout the 13 months of planning was answered very promptly. Sue and Niall met us 2 days before the wedding and couldn't be more helpful with planning the layout of the room. On the day I arrived they both met me and put my mind at ease, the place looked so beautiful and our ceremony ran so smoothly. The reception ran so smoothly also and the staff and th

'Just a perfect day' words from the Lou Reed song. And this is what our wedding day was in The Lord Bagenal, 6 July 2024. Our party of 60 people was hosted in the top bar. The drinks service was second to none and as the guests mingled to a background of jazz and a hurling semi final no one had to sneak off to view it elsewhere. And as hurling enthusiasts ourselves we were very happy that our guests were all there. And now on to the 'backbone' of any festivity, we had the food. Delicious platters of Canapés - mouth watering chicken satay skewers, vegetarian spring rolls with a dip, smoked salmon with brown bread, rare roast Irish sirloin on a garlic ciabatta, and goats cheese tartlets. Platter after delicious platter arrived out and dispelled any thoughts of hungry guests! The kids were also wonderfully looked after with traditional hand made chicken goujons, cocktail sausages, and sandwiches. The staff worked seamlessly and the service was exceptional. Nothing was a problem. Our bespoke wedding cake was served at desert and as the early afternoon headed towar

We are so delighted we had our wedding in the Lord Bagenal which is situated on a beautiful setting by the banks of the River Barrow. The professionalism, kindness and attention to detail of Sue, Niall and all the team was top notch and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. We particularly loved the spacious sit-down area on arrival for our guests and also the option to sit outside by the hotel’s riverside area which on the day gave a Mediterranean feel. Our guests are also still commen

We had our wedding in the Lord Bagenal in December 2022. It was absolutely brilliant. From the first meeting with Sue, until the day itself, Sue's communication was brilliant. She responded promptly even with all the weddings the hotel had. Everything went as planned and on our wedding day the staff were brilliant and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this a wedding venue. Especially at Christmas the hotel reception and ballroom were dressed with Christmas decorations which was

We had a brilliant wedding day at The Lord Bagenal Inn. Our guests have told us how much they loved the venue-the food, the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The staff were so helpful and so kind to us from the very beginning. Sue worked with us to plan the perfect day and made sure everything was just as we wanted. Niall was so kind and helpful. He made sure everything went swimmingly on the day and was there for us throughout the day to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The dinner and bar staff were also very friendly and service was great. The venue is perfect for beautiful wedding photographs. I will be recommending The Lord Bagenal Inn to anybody who needs the perfect wedding venue.
