We were delighted that we had our wedding at Kenmare Bay Hotel, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and all our guests said the same. Everything ran smoothly and it was very well organised, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't have been happier with the wedding

package, it covered so much that there wasn't much left for us to organise which suited us perfectly. From including a lovely wedding car & driver, decorating the room beautifully for the ceremony to having little baskets of essentials in the bathrooms for guests, the hotel had thought of it all. It's in a beautiful location, with plenty of gorgeous places to take pictures. Ticked all our boxes. We look forward to coming back for our anniversary. Thank you.

From the moment we met Alan & Sile in 2018 we were so excited to have our wedding reception at the Kenmare Bay Hotel. Alan talked us through what the day would be like and it was lovely to be able to visualize the running order of the event. Unfortunately, Covid hit and we took the decision to

postpone the wedding twice. Sile was so supportive each time we were looking for a new date. As our wedding date in March 2023 was finally on the horizon, Alan was so helpful and again went through what our day would be like from start to finish. It was so lovely to be able to feel the excitement once more. I stayed in the beautiful Luxury Lodges with my bridesmaids, Mom and little girl on the night before the wedding. We got such a lovely warm welcome on our arrival and I got a peak of the function room. A number of guests stayed the night before and we had a wonderful sing-song at the piano in the bar. On the morning of the wedding, breakfast was delivered to us at the Lodges, so we could all get ready and eat in a relaxed atmosphere. When the ceremony in Kenmare Church was over, we were greeted at the hotel door by Tom in his fabulous tuxedo, who was there to usher us all in for the Drinks Reception. The wedding Reception was so fantastic, we were lucky to have 270 guests join us for what was such a wonderful day. It was seamless, the layout of the function room, the service - and the food was just sublime. From 2018 to 2023 it was such an absolute pleasure to deal with Alan, Sile, Hanneke in Reservations. There is a fantastic team at the hotel and we could feel how genuine they all were from the moment we met them. From the outset, all we wanted was a big party to celebrate our marriage, we got that, and so much more. Wish we could do it all again! Love, Edel and Mervin Clifford.

Thank you to all the staff at Kenmare Bay for making our special day so easy to organise and to Alan for helping us along the way and always at the other end of the phone if needed.
The food was just absolutely amazing and the service was top class....could not fault any of it in any way.

Anything that we requested for the day was no problem and the function room was set up beautifully for the 300 guests.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this wedding venue to anyone.

I couldn't recommend the team at Kenmare enough! Alan, Sile and the team couldn't have done enough for us on the lead up to the wedding and on the day.
