Every aspect of the hotel, from the beautiful surroundings to the impeccable facilities, contributed to making our day incredibly special. What truly set the Kenmare Bay Hotel apart, however, was the outstanding team. The staff were absolutely incredible – attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in ensuring our day ran perfectly.
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Alan, Andrew, and Aisling. They were with us every step of the way, providing invaluable support and guidance. Their helpfulness and unwavering determination to make our day special shone through in every interaction. They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was more than perfect.
A special mention must also go to Carlos, our wedding driver. He was not just a driver; he was incredibly caring and an absolute gentleman, adding an extra layer of comfort and kindness to our special day.
Our reception was also held at the hotel, and the service was impeccable. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, and we received countless compliments on the food, the atmosphere, and the seamless flow of the evening.
Thank you, Kenmare Bay Hotel, for creating such unforgettable memories for us. You made our wedding day a dream come true, and we are so grateful for your exceptional service and dedication.
