Where do I start? The Kilkenny River Court Hotel is second to none. My husband James and I feel like the luckiest couple to have called the Kilkenny River Court our wedding venue.
The River Court has always held a special place for my husband and his family, and when we were planning the wedding,…

the only input he wanted was to choose the venue. Kilkenny River Court Hotel it was. I had never been there myself—I had only looked at the website, reviews, and photos others had posted, along with hearing the many stories my husband and his family shared with me. I enquired about our potential date, and the rest was history.
Sharon, Keira, and Marcella—what can I say about these amazing wedding coordinators? They always responded to my endless emails. Living in the UK meant I had so many questions, queries, requests, wants, and needs, but every email was met with patience. No question was too complicated, no request was ever too much, and, most importantly, I never felt like I was being a burden. Having these women on the other end of an email was a lifesaver. Their knowledge, professionalism, patience, and kindness were a tremendous relief during what is possibly one of the most stressful experiences—planning a wedding! They knew that by holding my hand and guiding me through each step, we would have the most perfect, flawless day. And we did.
A few months before the wedding, we had our wedding meeting and menu tasting. James and I were made to feel so welcome by the lovely ladies at reception and reservations—they knew we were there for all things wedding-related! We were fortunate enough to stay in the beautiful bridal suite during our visit, which made it even more special. Knowing that in just a few months we would return to that very room as Mr. and Mrs. was such a wonderful feeling.

We had our wedding here on May 4th, 2024, and it was amazing from the moment we walked in the door until we left the next day. Sharon and Ciara were exceptional to deal with, and nothing was ever a problem. On the day itself, Anthony, Noel, and all the staff were fantastic. The room was laid out…

beautifully, and the backdrop for our photos was simply magical. The food was gorgeous, and our guests are still complimenting everything about the venue.
The bridal suite was stunning, and our photographer captured some of our favourite photos in that room. The added bonus of having the castle as a backdrop meant we didn’t have to travel for photos, giving us extra time to spend with our guests. The whole day flowed seamlessly from start to finish, and the communication from the staff was excellent, making it the most enjoyable day of our lives.
We couldn’t recommend the team and the venue enough for your special day. Thank you for ensuring our day was effortless!
