Event & Banquet Management
At the heart of your banquet services lies meticulous event and banquet management. Crafting a seamless Banquet Event Order (BEO) ensures that every detail, from the room setup to the timing of courses, is carefully coordinated to exceed your guests’ expectations. Our dedicated team works closely with you to customise menu selections, arrange bespoke table designs, and train our banquet staff to deliver a level of service that is second to none.
Personalised menu planning is a crucial aspect of creating a memorable banquet experience. By working closely with our talented culinary team, you can curate a menu that showcases the unique flavours of the local Galway region, incorporating locally-sourced ingredients that are fresh, sustainable, and reflective of the season. Whether catering to dietary restrictions or designing a multi-course gourmet experience, our banquet services are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of your guests.

Exceptional food and beverage offerings are the hallmark of a truly outstanding banquet. From a decadent banquet bar serving a curated selection of Irish whiskeys and craft cocktails to a thoughtfully-chosen wine program that complements your menu, our food and beverage services are designed to elevate the guest experience.

Nurturing guest loyalty extends beyond the banquet itself. By providing comprehensive pre-arrival recommendations and in-stay insights, you can create a seamless and enjoyable experience for your guests, from the moment they begin planning their event until the very end of their stay.
Offer your guests a glimpse of the local Galway charm with recommendations for nearby attractions and activities, suggested local dining spots, and packing tips for inclement weather. This not only sets the stage for a memorable event but also demonstrates your commitment to ensuring your guests have a truly enriching experience.
During their stay, highlight the amenities that set Brennan’s Yard Hotel apart, such as our turndown service and the opportunity to explore the hotel’s grounds. Equip your guests with these in-stay insights to enhance their overall experience and create lasting impressions.

Maintaining exceptional standards of cleanliness and comfort is paramount in nurturing guest loyalty. Luxury linens and bedding, daily housekeeping rounds, and deep-cleaning protocols double-check that that your guests feel truly pampered and at home during their stay.
Furthermore, Brennan’s Yard Hotel’s commitment to sustainability through the use of eco-friendly cleaning products, a linen and towel reuse program, and energy-efficient practices demonstrates your dedication to environmental responsibility.
