From the moment we contacted Kenmare Bay Hotel about our wedding to the moment we left we could not have asked for a better service. Alan is an amazing coordinator, he was very easy to work with and was quick to reply to any email sent. He has great attention to detail and knows what he is doing. …

The wedding package we received was amazing. The reception room was decorated beautifully, Carlos our wedding driver, Esther and Kheegan were fantastic. We would like to thank all the staff for feeding over 200 people a 4 course meal in 2 hours. The food and service was exceptional. We would highly recommend Kenmare Bay Hotel.

I don't know where to even begin. From the first email, Alan was on hand to answer any questions. I never had to wait more than a day for a reply which is what every bride needs, quick answers.
We always knew we wanted the Kenmare Bay Hotel. We had stayed multiple times before and always loved it. …

The staff are the friendliest and most helpful!

When we visited for the wedding showcase, we were able to see the room all done up and we could picture what our day would be like!!
Hanneke the accommodations manager was unbelievable. I sent so many emails chopping and changing rooms for our families and nothing was ever a bother!

The day itself was the best of our lives. The whole team were on hand all day to help with everything and anything!!!
From breakfasts to delivering the lad's button holes. They really were incredible.
We had our ceremony in the hotel also and it went so smoothly. All our suppliers commented on how easy the hotel was to deal with!

When we went for our wedding party photos, we had use of the stunning car. Our driver hung around and joined in on the fun down the pier and in the town! He was a pleasure to deal with!
The food is just to die for! There were so many options to choose from when we did our menu tasting, it was hard to narrow it down but we went with steak and monkfish and everyone loved it!!!

All the waiting/bar staff were so efficient. Anything we needed was done for us.
The hotel had done up the toiletry baskets in the loos, which was great as it was one less thing to worry about. We brought our own wine and paid the corkage and the hotel was so honest about how many we actually drank. We brought way too much with us. But it was great to get back what was left as we could gift our wedding wine to family and friends.
All in all, our whole day went off without any stress or problems. I know for a fact we have Alan and the whole team at Kenmare Bay Hotel to thank for that!
Don't hesitate to book your special day here!!!!

We had a perfect wedding at the Kenmare Bay Hotel!

Everything went according to plan and it went very smoothly. The planning was made very easy by Alan, Keegan & co, who were all very helpful, and any extra things that we had to do were accommodated enthusiastically and without any fuss.

The …

room was set up very nicely for the ceremony and our guests and solemniser were taken care of. Afterwards, we had a lovely drive around with Carlo (who we were also very fond of) and we were provided with a delicious bottle of champagne. Our guests had a lovely time at the pre-reception and we re-joined them just in time for dinner. The food. was. fantastic. We had compliments all-round from our guests; we've been to a few weddings recently and the food at the KBH is so far above the standard, we were delighted. The bar & table staff were friendly and enthusiastic throughout and it was easy for our band and DJ to get settled in.

For what we got, the price was fantastic and we were given so many complimentary goodies, we lost track of them all! We were delighted with the level of service that we received throughout. Special thanks in particular to Alan, who is a star. We couldn't recommend this venue enough.

My husband and I got married on Aug 20th, 2021. We had our ceremony in Farran Church and our reception at the top class Kenmare Bay Hotel. Our original wedding date was planned for the 8th of May, 2021, but unfortunately due to Covid, we had to reschedule and reorganise our plans. We were dealing …

with Kenmare Bay since late 2019 early 2020. From start to finish, they were absolutely excellent, from our wedding coordinators to all the staff to the rooms reservation manager. They accommodated us 100% in all our swapping and changing dates, gave us time to adjust and think, and always kept in contact if we hadn't contacted them. At the height of the restrictions, they always kept us in the loop of new announcements from the government. As our wedding got closer, we were dealing with Alan Donnery. We could not say enough or recommend him highly enough to any future couples who are looking for a fabulous wedding day from start to finish, stress-free. In the weeks coming up to our wedding day, there wasn't a day that Alan didn't contact us to make sure everything was running smoothly. I could have depended on Alan from early morning to late and night. He was absolutely incredible. He was also brilliant in helping us to find suppliers, that we were unable to find due to the restrictions. He offered his services to Tom and I in every way.

We were in absolute awe with the wedding car they provided us with. It was amazing, from luxurious comfort to led lighting to a bottle of Champagne and nibbles. The driver was so kind, friendly and caring to me ( The Bride) as the weather was shocking. He looked after me in the best way possible and was beyond considerate. Tom and I got a massive welcome from the staff when we arrived as a married couple. It was mind-blowing. To see how the ballroom was set out melted our hearts. The meal was 100% amazing. Our guests had so many good things to say about the hotel. We would recommend Kenmare Bay Hotel to any future brides and grooms.

We couldn’t recommend Kenmare Bay Hotel highly enough for your wedding! From the very first day we set foot in the hotel to meet our wedding planner, Alan, we immediately knew this was our dream wedding venue. Alan talked us through the day as it would happen if we were to have our wedding …

reception here, and it was better than we could ever have imagined. Alan and Síle were incredibly approachable and helpful with anything we asked for. They went above and beyond to ensure our dream came true!
Hanneke, in reservations, was so patient with our numerous changes. Nothing was too much to ask!
With a year of constant worry about restrictions, Alan and Síle were so supportive and gave us great advice on planning our wedding. The food was absolutely exceptional and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating!
I have only huge praise for the stunning Kenmare Bay Hotel. Choosing this venue will be the best decision you will ever make!
