“We had our wedding here in July 2022 and all I can say is that it was a fantastic day. Everything from the first point of contact with Deirdre was brilliant and she helped us to organise a fantastic wedding that all our guests enjoyed.
The hotel were extremely accommodating in every sense in the lead up to the wedding, and all of the staff were perfect on the day and in the lead up to the day, as well as on the day 2!
The food, the service, and everything else couldn't have been better and all of this combined helped to make our big day so seamless and stress free.
The microphone / sound system for the speeches was perfect too and there were no problems in this area either.
We can't fault a single thing about this venue for our wedding and Deirdre is a truly incredible wedding planner to have on your side.”

“Our Daughter’s Wedding- Our whole experience with arranging and holding our daughter’s wedding was superb. Deirdre is a master class of how to listen to what people want, provide advice, deliver it and deal with any issues that arise seamlessly and without any fuss. Planning the wedding was one long pleasant experience only matched by what she and her team delivered which was first class, more than we hoped for and more than could even be expected.
The team at the Anner are young, fresh, cheerful and totally committed to delivering service and importantly ensuring that you get everything you want from check in to the preparation of the rooms to breakfast to leisure to the bar to the bistro and of course the pre wedding celebration and wedding celebration itself.
Can I on behalf of the family thank Deidre and the team, John and the team and rest of the teams for a wonderful trouble free time. I particularly point to the first pre wedding celebration when the plane carrying half the guests was 2.5hrs late - no sweaty, no fuss just all rearranged effortlessly for us.
Team Anner - you should be proud!”

"Where do I start... From when we talked to Deirdre Crow and confirmed our wedding date in December 2021.. the anner hotel have been absolutely outstanding. I have never come across a hotel and staff that were nothing but accommodating,friendly and a pleasure to be around.. we had our cermony and afters on the 28th July in the anner and from start to finish was like a fairy tale.. there wasn't one bit of food left on any of the plates,not one complaint by any of our guests.. the rooms were crazy clean and perfect for all of our guests.. we stayed in the Graham suite for 3 nights and it was outstanding.. people in the hospitality industry are so underrated and we should actually appreciate them more for all they do. The long hours they put into making sure each person is treated like a king or queen and they even have a kids club and leisure facilities..the grounds are exceptional and brillant for photos..we have been back since for food and once again amazing and mouth watering as always..
The Anner Hotel is one of my favourite places from here on in..definitely worth a visit and a stay..110% given at all time.. Thank you Deirdre you are an amazing person and uplifting to be around"

"I'm giving the Anner 5 stars because it wont allow me to give more! It definitely deserve more than 5...I just had my wedding day on the 26th of February and it was the most amazing day....from the very first visit back in 2019 when we viewed the hote,l throughout the whole process including a postponement due to covid, the million emails and telephone calls and all the visits to the hotel. Nothing was ever too much trouble and all the staff were always so friendly especially Deirdre the wedding coordinator, who was with us through the whole process and could never do enough for us. For any future brides reading this, Deirdre is one of the reasons I picked the Anner to have our wedding. Her professionalism and experience always showed she is amazing at her job. As for the food, not one of our guests or ourselves could fault it along with the amazing service we received....it was the most magical day and we are delighted that the Anner hotel and its staff were part of it".

My husband and I recently held our wedding reception at The Anner Hotel. From start to finish Deirdre Crowe and her team were a dream to deal with. They left no stone unturned to make our wedding reception a magical experience from the minute we arrive at the hotel for the drinks reception through to end of the night. The food was exceptional and everybody we talked to afterwards complimented the Anner for their food. That’s 94 compliments!!! We would highly recommend this hotel for prospective wedding couples.

"We got married in the Anner Hotel in Thurles on the 16th of July 2021 after 2 cancellations. We went from having quite a large wedding to 50 guests. I cannot say enough about this fantastic hotel. From our first meeting with our wedding planner Deirdre to the day of the wedding we were treated like royalty. Any fears we had about not having live music to not having a big crowd were handled so brilliant by Deirdre. On the day the set up in the hotel was absolutely fantastic. It was a five star plus experience from start to finish. All the staff were so professional while still been so welcoming. There was no waiting on drinks for our guests and John the bar manager and his team were just brilliant. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. The accommodation was fantastic and the grounds absolutely gorgeous for photos. Our guests could not get over how amazing everything was and are still talking about the day quoting it as the best wedding they ever attended. I can't reccommend this venue enough.
Thank you all in the Anner for giving us the wedding of our dreams".

"We just had our wedding in the Anner Hotel a party of 25. Fantastic from the time we and our guest entered, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for you nothing was a problem all request were meet with willingness and kindness. it was obvious that they adhered to covid guidelines which made everyone feel more relaxed.
The way Deirdre and staff set up the ballroom for our day was just stunning, tables of 6 all separated following covid guidelines tables service down for drinks etc. but it looked and felt like another wedding I have been to. Only with 5 star service been waited on, We were lucky with the weather on the day so our party went to the gardens again enough tables and space for everyone the table service fantastic we sat drank chatted got everything brought to us everyone loved it.(no need for bar runs missing out). I asked for 3 bowls of icecream for the kids absolutely no problem brought them out. The Anner made my wedding day from start to finish, from the service to the food to all round good vibe the staff gave on the day.
Deirdre was our planner from the start of the process of organizing to the morning after the wedding she was FANTASTIC. friendly, great crack,felt so comfortable and knew I had nothing to worry about, my day was in more than capable hands, with covid restrictions and it not feeling like a special occasion. and my God did Deirdre deliver. Can't thank her enough . We will be back for getaways and meals out. Most Sincerely we would like to thank Deirdre and all staff for wonderfull day and stay more than a 5 star."

To any couples thinking about booking the Anner for your big day… DO IT!! We were married on October 19, 2018, and had our reception at the Anner, and it was flawless!! From the moment I met Courtney, our wedding planner, I knew we were in good hands. I was planning our wedding from Canada, and Courtney and all the staff at the Anner made it the easiest process in the world! Everything was taken care of and surpassed our expectations!
Most of our guests from Canada booked a stay at the hotel, and every single person I spoke to could only sing the praises of how fantastic their stay was. All of the staff went over and above to make sure our stay was exceptional.
Dierdre was our main contact for the day, she was so charming and professional! When dinner was served (piping hot!) the showmanship of the staff did not go un-noticed as they would serve the head table in unison, turn and walk out again all in unison! All the meals were served in a timely fashion, without excessive lag time between courses, and it was ALL delicious!!
Marrying my best friend was already going to be a perfect day, but the Anner was the cherry on top. I couldn’t have scripted a more perfect day. I wish I had more words to express how much I appreciated how special they made us feel, how professional they were, and what an amazing experience we had.
You will NOT be disappointed!!
