10 Bridge Street
Alternative Wedding Venue in Kerry | Candlelit Church in Killorglin
This isn’t a hotel wedding hidden away on private grounds - your day unfolds in a real Kerry town. A candlelit 19th-century church, a pub across the street, and a celebration that flows from ceremony to dinner to a full-on party.
10 Bridge Street is a unique wedding venue in Killorglin, Co. Kerry, just 20–25 minutes from Killarney. Set inside a beautifully restored Church of Ireland building dating from 1816, we specialise in relaxed, personal and alternative weddings full of atmosphere, great food and character.
We’re best suited to couples looking for something a little different: a non-hotel wedding venue, an intimate celebration, a destination-style Kerry wedding, or a lively party where the formalities don’t take over the fun.
Couples can choose from three flexible styles of celebration:
Classic Wedding – a seated wedding celebration with a beautifully prepared four or five-course meal.
Best of Both – an intimate ceremony and meal with close family, followed by a bigger evening celebration.
Wedding Party – a relaxed, high-energy celebration with generous finger food or buffet-style dining, music and dancing at its heart.
Ceremonies can take place beneath our historic stained glass rose window, followed by drinks in a traditional Irish pub just across the street while we transform the venue for dinner and dancing. Later, the lights dim, the music starts, and the space becomes a proper party venue.
What makes 10 Bridge Street different is the atmosphere and flow. Your ceremony, food, bar, terrace and dancefloor all work together in one character-filled space, so guests stay close, the energy builds naturally, and the day feels personal rather than formulaic.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, non-traditional wedding venue in Kerry with warmth, personality and a bit of magic, we’d love to hear your plans.

Reviews of 10 Bridge Street
This isn’t your typical hotel or function room. It feels completely unique—full of character.
What really stood out was the atmosphere. It struck the perfect balance between elegant and laid-back, making it feel like a truly memorable experience rather than a standard wedding setup. As a guest, it felt intimate, welcoming, and genuinely different from any other venue I’ve been to.
If you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary—something that doesn’t feel like a copy-and-paste wedding venue—this place is absolutely worth considering.
From the very beginning, Cliodhna made us feel so welcome and supported throughout the planning process. She was always on hand to offer advice, from recommending trusted vendors at the start to accommodating our requests in the lead-up to the day itself.
What drew us to 10 Bridge Street was the venue’s atmosphere. There’s such a unique energy to the space, it feels incredibly intimate, warm, and full of character. The light pouring through the stained glass creates the most beautiful glow and makes the venue feel truly magical. It has a way of making everyone feel instantly relaxed, connected, and present, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.
The food also deserves a special mention. We opted for the tapas-style menu and it was incredible. People are still talking about it now, especially the prawns!
I chose not to hire a wedding planner, and while we organised our own vendors, the team at 10 Bridge Street was incredibly hands-on on the day itself. They ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, supported our family and guests, helped coordinate logistics with our florist and six-piece band, and made the entire day feel seamless.
Because of their care, professionalism, and attention to detail, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment. It felt personal, meaningful, and completely reflective of who Zygi and I are as a couple. We honestly couldn’t recommend 10 Bridge Street enough.

Guests were super complimentary of the food and the staff.
If I was to go back and do it all again, I would without a shadow of a doubt go with 10 Bridge Street all over again.
