Hi we had our wedding here at the Earl of Desmond hotel Tralee it was the best day ever. We got in contact with Norella the year before and booked our date she is brilliant at what she does couldn't ask for a better wedding planner she helped us along throughout the whole year leading up to our big …

day at the end of it I'd say she was probably sick to death of me ringing her day and night with questions ha ha she is so helpful and if u couldn't get her she would always ring u straight back she put our minds at ease over so many things and always had an answer or even a better suggestion. The hotel itself is fabulous from the glass lift to the amazing waterfall back drop in the banquet room our guests are still talking about the food which was delicious. Norella was with us for the whole day and made sure everything was perfect and it was thanks to her and all the staff at the Earl for making it a memorable day. Xxx if anyone is thinking of getting married and are looking for the perfect hotel I'd recommend the Earl of Desmond Tralee you won't find a better package or wedding planner anywhere else thanks again and we will be back love it.

To Mark, Norella and all the staff of The Earl of Desmond, we would like to extend your warmest and deepest gratitude to you all for the care, attention, warmest hospitality and professionalism you have shown to us and all our wedding guests.
From the immaculate, clean and warm wedding ceremony …

and accommodation you provided for all our guests and for us. To the delicious, tasty and hot food at our wedding reception. Every element of our wedding was perfect all Thanks to you and your wonderful staff.
Choosing The Earl of Desmond for our wedding ceremony and reception was the easiest and best decision we have ever made. From our very first wedding consultation with Norella, we know we were in the best hands possible. She spoke everything through with us from the legal formalities of hosting our ceremony with them,to the menu selection and the various package they provided. All the questions we posed to Norella were answered and any request from us were seen too and were never seen as a burden or issue.
Norella is truly "The Gem" of The Earl of Desmond, from her friendly and professional approach when meeting us, to the kind and friendly phone calls she would make to us to ensure we had for all the legalities and technicalities arranged. She had always reassured us that she was at the other end of the phone should we require any further assistance from her, this is itself was a beautiful and kind gesture. We have had many a laugh and we will miss you and your wonderful kindness and personality.
We could not recommend The Earl of Desmond highly enough to any engaged couples hoping to tie the knot. Trust me when you have been to other hotels for a consultation and you then go to The Earl of Desmond there really is no comparison. The service, due care and attention they provided us with along with fantastic and loving memories of our wedding day will forever stay in our hearts.
It will never be a goodbye from us, it is merely a looking forward to seeing you all soon xx
