From the moment you step inside the elegant lobby of the 4-star Westgrove Hotel in charming Clane Village, you’ll instantly feel the warmth and genuine welcome that sets the tone for your special day. The breathtaking Grand Staircase creates an unforgettable first impression, giving your guests that instant “wow” moment as they arrive. Picture your loved ones making their way up the candle-lit staircase, greeted by the soft melodies of our resident pianist performing on the Baby Grand Piano, setting a magical atmosphere for the celebrations ahead.
Our hotel offers three stylish spaces for your Drinks Reception, each reserved exclusively for your wedding party. Whether mingling over champagne, sampling handmade canapés, or enjoying freshly baked treats, your guests will love the space and comfort these venues provide. The Mezzanine, with its panoramic views of the Wicklow Mountains, is an elegant and uplifting setting that perfectly captures the glamour of your day. For a more intimate touch, the Roof Terrace Bar gives family and friends their very own private gathering spot, leading directly onto our beautiful Rooftop Terrace and Wedding Garden—ideal for capturing timeless photos, enjoying sunshine, or even hosting a relaxed Day Two BBQ.
The Westgrove Hotel provides both a stunning Rooftop Terrace and a graceful indoor Ceremony Suite, giving couples the choice of a setting that best suits their style. Whether you’re planning a Civil, Humanist, Spiritualist, or other type of blessing, both spaces are thoughtfully designed to provide a beautiful backdrop for your vows. Elegant, spacious, and tastefully decorated, they ensure a romantic atmosphere for saying “I do.”
When it comes to celebrating in style, you’ll have two exceptional banqueting suites to choose from—the O’Connell Suite and the Alexandra Suite. Each reflects contemporary elegance, featuring private bars, sparkling dance floors, glittering backdrops, and natural daylight that enhances the décor. With exquisite King Louis chairs and carefully designed centrepieces, both suites radiate sophistication. Most importantly, as we host only one wedding per day, your celebration receives our complete attention and focus.
Our culinary team will create a menu that delights every guest, with dishes crafted to perfection and served by our experienced banqueting team. We take pride in catering to all requests, ensuring every guest feels included and cared for. After the feast, the dance floor is sure to be full into the early hours, with your private residents’ bar keeping the party alive long after dinner. Meanwhile, you and your partner can retreat to your luxurious Honeymoon Suite, while your guests relax in a choice of deluxe rooms, stylish suites, or spacious family apartments.
The Westgrove Hotel is proud to be a multi-award-winning wedding venue, recognised with titles such as Best All-Inclusive Package of the Year, Best Wedding Venue of the Year, and Wedding Coordinator of the Year.
We offer a variety of thoughtfully designed packages to make planning effortless. Our All-Inclusive Wedding Package allows couples to relax and enjoy the excitement of the day while we take care of the details. For a smaller, more intimate celebration, our Exclusive Intimate Package is perfect for creating unforgettable moments surrounded by your closest family and friends. Whatever your dream wedding looks like, we have a package tailored just for you.
At the Westgrove, we understand that no two weddings are alike. Every couple deserves a day that reflects their personality, love, and vision. That’s why we pour our heart and soul into every celebration, ensuring memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
We truly love weddings—and it shows in everything we do. To start planning your dream day, contact our dedicated Wedding Coordinator, Lorna, who will be delighted to arrange a private show-around of our beautiful venue.
