The staff are incredibly friendly and they go out of their way to assist no matter what you need. Receptionists Eileen and Marissa were particularly kind and helpful. Alan, the wedding manager, was an absolute champ. He brought us through every detail of the wedding with care and allowed us to customise our experience to allow for a truly personal feel.
On the day itself, everything went incredibly smoothly thanks to Alan's meticulous planning and his awareness of where people needed to be and his dedication to getting them there. We felt safe and supported in his capable hands. It was apparent that he spent a considerable amount of time familiarising himself with every detail of the wedding.
The meal was incredible and worked out at only €50 per plate despite it being 4 courses and the wine was delicious. The hotel had worked closely with us to design the optimal menu by allowing us to stay a night free of charge, two months prior to the wedding in order to taste the various courses that we could choose.
Alan was very supportive of all of our whacky ideas and even allowed us to have a performer do a juggling/balancing/magic/escapology act in the pre-reception room, then a fire show in the car park just outside the main reception which the staff had specially cordoned off. They also decorated the room impeccably and utilized all of our personal decorations that we had brought for the day, arranging them beautifully.
The bar staff were on the button, no one seemed to be waiting too long for service and the prices were reasonable enough. Even though they were not allowed to continue serving after 11.30 pm due to covid, they allowed us to remain in the reception room with the heap of drinks we had bought just prior to last orders, until the party naturally petered out at 4.30 in the morning.
The honeymoon suite was lovely and opened up into a decent sized dining hall/living room, which allowed us to host the family the night after the wedding. The staff even scattered petals on the bed on the night of the wedding which was a thoughtful touch.
The pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were all heavily utilized to deal with the wedding stress, and thus very much appreciated. They also have what appeared to be a well-equipped gym and offer spa treatments, of which many of our guests availed.
In sum, The Kenmare Bay Hotel is a phenomenal location to get married. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. We had the wedding of our dreams and at an incredibly reasonable price. They're considerably cheaper than all of the other wedding locations we looked into. Alan made us feel like royalty, adapted everything to suit our needs, and provided us with the most wonderfully magical day we could have hoped for. I would like to thank him and all of the staff who did such a great job of making our dreams a reality.
Planning a wedding during the uncertainty of Covid was stressful and daunting at times as we feared the day wouldn't be as enjoyable for our guests and for ourselves. We thought it wouldn't feel like a real wedding …

We celebrated our day with 50 of our nearest and dearest and what a day we had! The level of care and attention to detail was beyond our expectations.
The food was simply stunning, we chose monkfish and fillet steak for our main courses and our Guests were still telling us how much they loved their meals the next day. We had previously heard about how good the food was at the Kenmare Bay but it definitely exceeded our expectations!
The bridal party stayed in the holiday lodges the night before the wedding and what I can only describe as a 5* star breakfast banquet was wheeled in the door to us the morning of the wedding. Once we were ready to head across to the hotel for the ceremony, the wedding car, also provided by the hotel, was waiting for us outside - the perfect start to a perfect day!
Finally I have to mention wedding coordinator Alan Donnery. He mentioned to us if there was anything we needed to just ask. However we didn't need to ask for anything, Alan was steps ahead from start to finish ensuring everything ran seamlessly. Both of our families remarked on the level of care, genuine kindness and professionalism shown to us by Alan. A true asset to any couple getting married!
I can honestly say from start to finish we, along with our guests, had the most memorable, enjoyable day and are beyond grateful to Alan and the Kenmare Bay team.
20/09/2019 was a very special day for myself and my now husband. It was the day we celebrated our wedding.
We held our reception in the Kenmare bay.
From the minute we enquired of available dates with Sile we knew this was the spot. She had a very calm yet precise manor. Always …

On our wedding week, Sile was a constant support. Again, In the back ground yet always at the other end of the phone if needs be. She was so helpful re: table plans, arrangements, music etc.. defiantly the type of person you need around you on a week of constant running and racing, it was so comforting to know all the details at the hotel were being taken care of by Sile who’s attention to detail was 100%
On the day, we had the most wonderful driver Carlo, supplied by the hotel. From the minute we met Carlo we were so comfortable with him. As was our baby girl who took a liking to Carlo straight away and spent majority her time between family members and Carlo until we arrived at the hotel. Which although far above his call of duty, Carlo was happy to oblige. We couldn’t have had a better man around us on the day. Professional, yet friendly, funny and all round a lovely person to share our first few hours as man and wife with.
When we arrived at the hotel we met Tom. We had never met Tom up to this stage, Tom who had filled the position of co-ordinating the wedding on the day for many years and was now working in a different part of the hotel, but was filling in for holiday leave the day of our wedding. Despite having never actually met Tom before, he knew everything there was to know about us as if we’d been in touch the entire time. Professional, friendly and all round fantastic at this job, attributes all staff in the Kenmare Bay hold. Tom delivered 110% on the day also.
From the first email we sent to the last word we had with the girls at reception. I can not recommend the Kenmare bay highly enough. Location, staff, food, accommodation, cleanliness, family friendly. Our in-house babysitter Mary. Everyone was incredible.
Well done to such an amazing team of people.

All our guests stayed at the hotel in the lodges and houses, they loved it. They were all looked after from the minute they arrived to the minute they left.
On the wedding day everything was organised for us, we didn’t have to worry about anything. We were constantly checked with and asked if we needed anything. All of our guests were looked after perfectly. Our family and friends are still talking about how perfect the wedding was and how amazing and helpful everyone was at the hotel.
We honestly can’t thank you enough for our perfect day. We loved every second.
We will be coming back in the future!.
