Alan and all his staff went above and beyond for our wedding day on May 10th 2024. From the moment we first met with him we knew Kenmare Bay Hotel was the place for our wedding. Every member of staff was so kind and obliging and made all our guests feel so welcome. If anyone is considering getting married in the Kenmare Bay we would recommend it 100%.

We just celebrated our wedding in the Kenmare Bay Hotel on the 18th November and we can't recommend it enough. We visited Kenmare on a whim after hearing a wedding event advertised on the radio. The second we stepped in the door, we knew it was the venue for us. All members of staff were beyond friendly and displayed very high levels professionalism. All our questions were answered and we knew we were in good hands. We were blessed to have Alan overseeing everything for us and he was just outstanding from start to finish. He's an absolute gentleman and we'll never be able to thank him enough for his support and guidance throughout our wedding planning journey. Any questions we had were promptly answered and it felt as if we didn't even have much to do as everything was taken care of for us! I was collected on the wedding morning by Carlo, who was another fantastic addition to our day. A lovely, lovely guy who so kindly helped us in the background to look presentable in our wedding photos on what was an extremely windy day!! Everyone just went above and beyond for us and we couldn't be happier. The food was beautiful, the set up of the room was ideal and there were so many other little touches provided by the hotel that made our day extra special.

Kenmare and the staff at the Kenmare Bay Hotel hold a very special place in our hearts. We also had a great laugh along the way. We have very fond memories of our special day and we can't wait to visit again soon ????????????

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.

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.

Alan was the very reason we booked our Wedding at The Kenmare Bay Hotel. We had been to a few different hotels before arriving to Kenmare, all beautiful hotels but once we arrived at the hotel and met Alan we knew straight away this was the venue for us. His experience and confidence and was so comforting to us, knowing we would have nothing to worry about. Alan and the team were so amazing and helpful right up until the very end, a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to our next visit with you, still dreaming about the food and wine! Thanks for making our day so special and unforgettable.

Celebrated our wedding here and cannot fault the hotel. From the first day we met with S?le and Alan, they could not do enough for us. From the food to the service on the day of the wedding it was 5 star treatment all the way. Tom our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to ensure our day went fantastic. Nothing was an problem for him. The day was everything we could have dreamed of and more. All our guests commented on what a fantastic day it was and the quality of the food was better than some 5 star hotels and restaurants.
The following night we stayed in the hotel bar and the restaurant manager on the night was an absolute gem to deal with. The bar was so busy as there was so many of us but she dealt with us so efficiently.
We stayed in the lodges the days leading up to the wedding and they were so luxurious.
I would highly recommend anyone thinking of getting married here to just book it. The team at the hotel will guarantee you a day to remember

We celebrated our wedding at the Kenmare Bay Hotel and Resort on Apr 7th 2018. From our 1st initial meeting with Sile Browne to when we departed the hotel the morning after the wedding I really cannot say enough good things about the service we received throughout the whole process.
The venue itself is unrivalled. The bar and drinks reception area is bright comfortable and very modern. The wedding team at the Kenmare Bay worked with us to design a drinks reception package suitable for our guests and budget and nothing was too much trouble. The function room is, spacious and tastefully decorated. There was more than ample space to hold our crowd of 260 guests. The food was simply out of this world and we received many compliments from our guests afterwards about the wonderful wedding meal. Service ran seamlessly, the food was served piping hot and the Kenmare Bay Hotel are more than generous with their portions.
. I would like to especially mention the Wedding Manager Sile Browne. Sile was side by side with us through the whole wedding planning process; she offered invaluable advice and was always more than generous with her time and expertise. Sile really went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our wedding day was all we had imagined it would be and more. Thank you Sile.
Go ahead and book the Kenmare Bay Hotel today. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

We were so happy with the Kenmare bay hotel and all they did to make our day so special. They go the extra mile for every couple and we wanted for nothing. The extras that they give are insurmountable and they expect nothing in return. They really do just genuinely want you to enjoy your day the best that you can. Tom and all the staff are excellent. There is no panic over anything, they are all so relaxed. We couldn't have asked for a better service.

From the beginning of our dealings with the venue we dealt with Sile and Tom from the Kenmare Bay. Professional is an understatement. Tom covered everything about the day in detail after our tasting so we were able to relax, knowing he was more than capable. Always on the other side of the phone Tom was a great comfort when a panic moment arose. He has great contacts in Kenamre and Kerry and helped us with suggestions.

A very nice touch to us, was Tom calling to the hotel accomodation the night before the Wedding to finalise everything , in his own time!

Our day went so smoothly, and this is entirely down to Tom's exceptionally planning skills.

We couldn't have been happier with our day. We are still receiving compliments on the food and the service.
This hotel is a fantastic Venue and we highly reccommend it. Its spacious and the location is great , just a walk to Kenmare town. They have a large number of rooms for guests and guest houses that are reasonably priced for families or groups.

We had a great experience with the Kenmare Bay Hotel for our wedding this past December. Tom and S?le were both amazing to deal with and nothing was too much trouble.

From our initial inquiry to departing the morning after our wedding- everything was seamless. We had the most wonderful day and it was all thanks to the service that Tom and his staff provided on the day and the lead-up to our special day. I had a good few extras that some hotels might find complicated but it was no problem and they were able to accommodate all our requests without hesitation. Mossie our driver provided by the hotel was amazing, so patient and helpful throughout the day.

The drinks reception was so fabulous and our guests are still talking about it along with the superb meal the hotel provided on the day. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Tom really impressed us how well he was able to delegate his staff and make sure everything ran like clockwork. We were on the dancefloor by 9pm and we had the best night of our lives.

We would highly recommend the Kenmare Bay Hotel to any couple thinking of having their wedding at the hotel. We just wish we could do it all over again.

I really could not fault the kenmare bay on anything, they are nothing but professional in every sense and the day went off seamlessly, even guests commented on nice and helpful the staff were. I really didnt worry about how the day was going to go as I felt the wedding organiser Tom was so in control.
Would highly recommend it, our wedding was in December but it didn't take away from the beauty of the surrounding area and the views plus the Christmas decorations gave a very warm and festive vibe equally we attended a summer wedding there and it was just fabulous.

I cannot say how incredibly fortunate we were to have our wedding at the Kenmare Bay Hotel on 1/12/2017. From my initial enquiry with S?le through to my last minute panics and questions the evening before our wedding for Tom, nothing was ever too much trouble. All the staff are so professional in their demeanor, appearance & service. The hotel was absolutely stunning on the day of our wedding. We had a civil ceremony in the main reception room, which Tom co ordinated to perfection from the decor, room layout & controlling the guests. The whole day ran so smooth and we didnt had to worry about a single thing on the day. I had such high expectations from such a well reviewed hotel and it is safe to say they surpassed all our expectations. The food & service were simply stunning and our guests are still talking about it.

It is safe to say I could not recommend The Kenmare Bay Hotel highly enough to any bride & groom thinking of a wedding venue. If you are looking for a classic venue set in stunning surroundings, exquisite food that your guests will talk about weeks & months later than look no further.

Many thanks & well wishes

We booked our wedding reception at Kenmare Bay Hotel 13 months before we got married. We live in Limerick and have no ties to Kenmare whatsoever. My sister got married there 2 years prior and we could just not find any place to match it. Nestled just outside the beautiful, quaint town of Kenmare is this gem of a hotel. We knew we were in good hands when we met with Alan but it actually surpassed our wildest dreams when the time came. Tom looked after our every need.

The houses and lodges on site are a Godsend. Our families came down and made a summer holiday out of it. We got married on the Saturday but went down on the Thursday to chill before the madness! We were sharing a house with my sister and her son came down with a bug. The second the hotel heard this, they whisked us to a room in the hotel in the hope we would avoid getting sick before the wedding, it worked, we didn't. The morning of the wedding, they sent breakfast to the lodge for the bridal party so we literally didn't have to think about anything. Then the gentleman that is Mossie arrived with the car that the hotel provide, and brought us to the church. After, he had a picnic and champagne waiting for us before we got our photos taken, well needed refreshments!

The best was yet to come, we were greeted by Tom, with more champagne and the red carpet, to meet our guests who were raving about how generous the initial reception was. He then brought us up to the reception suite where we were blown away with the beauty, the sweet cart, cake table, each table laid out so neatly. The room is definitely the nicest I have been in, very modern but elegant also, so bright and airy. The food was absolutely amazing. My husband had taken me to a 5 star hotel for a meal before the wedding as a treat and this meal was even better than that. Everything was so well cooked and fresh. We had 285 guests sitting down to dinner but every plate of food was as fantastic as the next. The word everyone used afterwards was generous. The portions, the dessert, the chocolate strawberries with the teas and coffees. The night went off without a hitch and the staff were so friendly. All of our friends and family felt like they were on holiday so were so relaxed and soaked up the wonderful atmosphere that the hotel has and also the town offers.

If we had the chance to do it all over again, we would 100% head back to the Kenmare Bay Hotel. We could not have dreamed of a better location to get married. Thank you so much Tom, Alan, Mossie and all the wonderful staff that made it a home away from home for us- but with much better food than my cooking!!

Fantastic help, co-ordination, organization and assistance from start to finish. Nothing was a problem for the team at the Kenmare Bay and everything from the venue to the food was of the highest quality. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

Cannot recommend KBH highly enough. They were fantastic to deal with from the very first meeting with Shelia. Throughout the planning and on our wedding day Tom was so obliging and looked after us so well

Our wedding day at the Kenmare bay was incredibly special. From our first visit to see the hotel to the final check out, the staff were so professional and attentive. Their experience with weddings is so extensive they are great for advice on all aspects of the day. Despite this, it felt like our wedding could have been their first as they made sure of every detail. Since the wedding, our guests have spoken about the amazing food which was so important to us. We would whole heartedly recommend the Kenmare bay to any couple.

If we could rate the kenmare Bay higher than a 5 we would, everything was exceptional from the planning 2years in advance to the day we checked out! Staff all so professional and helpful, they couldn't do enough for us!! Honeymoon suite is AMAZING and people are still raving about the food! Have to give a special mention to Mossie, the hotel chauffeur, nothing was too much even with our silly requests he always had a smile on his face and had a beautiful picnic for us which we devoured! Would definitely pick the Kenmare Bay

The hotel is very welcoming, food was fantastic. The staff were absolutely faultless nothing was a problem. The week running up to our wedding we had extremely bad weather, no power or phone coverage. It can be stressful at the best of times. We decided the immediate family would stay at the lodges the night before, which are fabulous may I add. From the moment we got there we were able to relax. Tom had the fire lighting and was there to welcome us. From the moment we landed Tom and the Staff were very Helpful and made our wedding very special.

?We can wholeheartedly recommend the Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort to any couple hoping for a magical wedding day. From the moment we booked we knew we were in capable hands. The management & staff at the hotel are outstanding & could not do enough for you. They really make the hotel what it is. The facilities are fantastic & I must say my jaw dropped when I actually saw the function room set up on my wedding day. Tom & the staff did an amazing job & the little touches & attention to detail was fantastic. They really exemplify excellent customer service because they exceeded not only our expectations but our guests still talk about the hotel, the function room, the beautiful food, the accommodation in the hotel, the lodges, & the holiday homes, but most importantly they still praise the staff at the hotel & how brilliant and kind they were.?

I have to first start off by saying our wedding was just everything that we could have wished for and more. The little extra touches are brilliant and they have a few surprises for you which was great. Tom the wedding co-ordinator was fantastic, he made everything flow really well and looked after all of your needs from start to finish. When I saw the room all done up for the civil ceremony I just thought "my God it's perfect" from the chair covers, sashes, flowers and candles, they all really made the room look beautiful. The meal itself was the best I ever had at a wedding, everything about it was brilliant. There was loads and everything was presented really well. Overall the hotel is 5 star standard - if you are thinking of getting married here I would say book it, it was the best weekend ever and people are still talking about what a wonderful wedding it was and how fabulous the hotel was. Our whole experience with dealing with the hotel was fantastic and I would highly recommend it to everyone. I can't wait for our next trip to the Kenmare Bay Hotel.

?We got married in The Kenmare Bay Hotel on the 26th of March and everything was perfect. On the day, the hotel surprises you with really nice gestures which I won't share as I don't want to spoil it for other brides. Tom was excellent and always available for any questions we had on the run up to the big day. Both Tom and Andrew did everything possible on the day to keep everyone happy and ensure the day was a success. Mossy the wedding car driver was really nice and he was so professional not to mention patient! The food was fantastic (everybody was talking about it); our compliments to the chef. We stayed in a Lodge, which was gorgeous and spotless. I could go on forever praising this hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your special day.?
