Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort, Kerry

The Kenmare Bay have given us a day to remember. The compliments we received from our guests really made our day. The food was fantastic. We had a few with dietary requirements & Tom and his team looked after them without fuss. Our wedding day was seamless and surpassed our every expectation. Tom is a effecient wedding co-ordinator and the hotel has exceptional service, one that would in my option be very hard to find in a different venue. Taking care of our beauty needs just before our big day we headed to the spa. The attention to detail and relaxing services on offer was just what we needed. Our therapist was knowledgeable and very professional. I only wished I lived nearer to avail of the services more often! The little surprises the hotel organises for you is lovely! (I don't want to spoil it!) We had family staying in the lodges,cottages and hotel. The rooms are designed with luxury in mind. As I'm sure with all wedidngs the age bracket is from young to mature. The Kenmare Bay Hotel caters to everyone. We couldn't recommend this Hotel and Tom enough. It was a pleasure to deal with a professional, efficent service and I can't wait to go back for a luxury relaxing wk end, only slighty different from our wedding but I'm positive it won't disappoint!

We held our wedding reception at the Kenmare Bay Hotel this September. Our wedding day really was everything we wished for and more. The Staff at the Kenmare Bay Hotel were a pleasure to deal with the staff. They were extremely friendly and professional and they all put so much work into the day to make it special for us. From start to finish, no request was too much trouble. Every email and phone call to Sue, Tom and Hanneke were promptly answered and efficiently dealt with. Tom, the wedding co-ordinator, was fantastic. The Hotel’s success as an ideal wedding venue is a credit to his leadership, professionalism and hard work. The service was immpeciable and everything flowed perfectly on the day of our wedding. The food at the Kenmare Bay Hotel is excellent. Thanks to Chef Daniel and his team for all their hard work. We were absolutley delighted with our meal and it could not have been any better! We have no hesitation in recommending the Kenmare Bay Hotel as an ideal venue to hold your wedding/wedding reception. We have nothing but positive things to say about the Hotel and its staff. We had such a stress free lead up yo our wedding which allowed us to enjoy ourselves even more! We cannot find fault with anything about the hotel and we can guarantee that should you book the Kenmare Bay Hotel as your wedding venue you will be not be dissapointed! We wish the hotel continued success for the future.

There aren’t words to describe a Kenmare Bay Hotel wedding! From the minute we decided to go with Kenmare Bay it was so easy to work with them all. And on the day from the arrival of Mossie at the house with the car to when we said goodbye to Tom on Monday morning it was a fantastic experience. We’ve had fabulous feedback and the shell for the presentation of the fish went down a storm. We’re so happy we went with the hotel. Small details mean so much and with Kenmare Bay there were lots - we got champagne in our room when we went for our tasting; a car was sent to collect me and take me to the church and then to take my husband and I to the reception; champagne and a picnic box were sent in the car; Tom was there to greet us on the red carpet, but he was also hard at work serving in the dining room during our meal; there was champagne, a card and a wedding photo of us in a silver engraved frame in the bridal suite; lights like a starry sky over the comfy bed................ I could keep going!!! If you're thinking about having a wedding in this hotel, think no more - just book it! You so won't regret it. We don't, and we can't wait to go back for our first anniversary dinner.

The hotel's warm and friendly ambiance compliments the beautiful landscape in which it is set. This was one of our reasons for choosing The Kenmare Bay Hotel for the biggest day of our lives!As we are not from the locality, Jonathan and I had to rely on our fantastic wedding team-Sue, Tom & Hanneke who were friendly,professional,courteous and very understanding. Every email and phone call were promptly answered and efficiently dealt with. We felt no request was too big or too small. Even last minute,night before and on the day, brideszilla wishes were granted with a smile and no problem attitude! Our guests booked their accommodation with ease and with so much choice-lodges and houses for large families and groups of friends. Fantastic room rates for doubles, triples and families! Those who made it a long weekend enjoyed your top class facilities. The pool was a big hit- one guest even swimming 4 times in one day! Nothing prepared us for the day itself though. It was magical. From Mossy the car driver(the great guy whose frinedly banter made me swallow my nervous and lonely tears on the drive to the church), to being greeted at the hotel which radiated a relaxed and confident atmosphere amongst its staff. Our guests indulged in canapés and sparkling wine-the foyer was bubbling with excitement and anticipation. The function room looked amazing-one guest reporting that upon climbing the stairs you entered a whole new world! The food-WOW! Service ensured that all 272 guests were eating at the same time. The food was scrumptious and even our big appetited uncles had to turn away extra helpings! After the flowing wine and with full bellies the crowd danced the night away only to be interrupted by tea/coffee and more delicious delights. Bedtimes varied. 5am eventually called us to our beautiful suite! Breakfast the next morning was delightful. Friends and family were all a chatter about the fantastic food, service etc. Some even booking in to stay an extra night. All in all The Kenmare Bay Hotel, its surroundings and staff, made our day! It was amazing! We would recommend it to everyone. Go raibh míle maith agaibh to all at the hotel for making our dream day a reality!
