Spectacular Kilshane House, in the heart of County Tipperary, has exciting news :
We have put the terrace along the south side of the Orangerie under glass with heating and air-conditioning. Under a canopy of mature oak trees with a view of the lake, and the French doors open, we can seat a total of 280+ guests at elegant round tables for fine dining for the wedding of your dreams. All- inclusive wedding packages celebrate your day and the season in which it takes place with no hidden extras. The Conservatory can seat 100+ for a barbecue the day after the wedding. Fifty six bedrooms en-suite, unforgettable wedding ceremonies indoors or outdoors, and 320 acres of parkland to explore complete the picture.

Kilshane House, built in 1822, is the centrepiece of 320 acres of private parkland in the heart of County Tipperary. The huge curvilinear Conservatory is licensed for intimate civil ceremonies and/or blessings. The Orangerie, with a full bar at one end, can comfortably seat 280+ guests. The only guests in the 56 bedrooms en-suite are the ones you invite to the wedding.

An elegant dinner in the formal dining room for 24 guests the night before the wedding can be expanded to 100 in the Conservatory. An informal party in the Billiard Room with the QT Bar as family and friends arrive can set the pace for the weekend.

We have created four seasonal proposals to celebrate your wedding day and the season in which it takes place. Each one has a description of all the decorative items such as chair covers, candelabras, etc. and the complimentary items such as the bridal suite on the night of the wedding, menus, table plans, tasting, etc. which are included. Our interesting and original seasonal menus for each proposal include the favourites such as fillet of beef and rack of lamb without any supplements. The proposals include canapés, a six course gala wedding dinner, and a mid-night supper. Guests are greeted at the door with a glass of Prosecco or a cocktail. A half bottle of house wine per guest to accompany the dinner is also included. There are no hidden extras in these proposals. Of course, if you wish, you can add on fireworks, singing waiters, entertainers etc….the sky is the limit !

A light-hearted barbecue the day after is an opportunity to kick off your shoes and relax with your friends and family. You are cordially invited to come see how unique we are for yourself !

Hi we have just returned from my brother?s wedding and I would like everyone to know that the people who own/run Kilshane house locked our children and those of the other guest away in a separate part of the hotel during the wedding meal and then denied it, I cannot recommend this venue and found the owners attitude and actions appalling.
Response from Kilshane House
Hi Brian, thank you very much for your feedback. I am very sorry you feel this way. I have consulted with all staff present that night and no one found any door locked between the basement and the Orangerie. One of the doors to the Orangerie has a door closer on it. Perhaps, as the child minders suggest, it was a bit heavy for a child to open. It’s the only possible explanation I can come up with. I hope that helps to clarify the situation. It was a pleasure having you all at this fabulous wedding. All the best for you and the whole family. Best regards, Jane (Owner - Kilshane House).

As beautiful as the house, orangerie and grounds of Kilshane House are, what made our wedding weekend so special was how welcoming Jane, Finbar & all of their team were. They make you & your guests feel so at home, nothing is too much for them. They want to help with anything they can. Simple gestures that mean so much during such a busy weekend for the bride & groom. We were rushing out for photos between showers when Jane appeared with a pashmina to keep me warm, such a warm & personal gesture. The food was amazing & again everything was made so easy by Ralf & the kitchen staff. Leanne our wedding coordinator was beyond helpful & knowledgeable and really helped us to remain calm & organised on the morning of the wedding. We would recommend Kilshane House in a heartbeat!

Absolutely outstanding 3 day wedding held at Kilshane House. All the staff were incredibly professional whilst at the same time discreet enough to make you feel the house is your own. The food, setting, ambience, service and atmosphere that Kilshane House offers is exceptional and beyond all expectations.

Kilshane House was the most perfect venue for our wedding. Everything on the day was perfect. Many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, and I couldn?t agree more. We loved that the place was ours for the couple of days and we could really make our wedding feel really true to us. Jane and Finbar and their entire staff were just superbe. Every person we met there was so friendly and kind, they created such a relaxed and laidback feeling that really suited us.
Kilshane House is such a beautiful place. No matter what the weather you will have magical photos of your day and your guests will have such a wonderful time exploring the house and grounds. The on site accommodation for guests are perfect, our guests loved them.
We honestly couldn?t recommend Kilshane House enough.

We had our reception in Kilshane house and they really delivered to a tee! It was a dream come true and we couldn?t have wished for better. Ourselves and our guests were blown away by the beautiful setting, the quality of service and how delicious the food and drink was. We were so grateful that we got the good weather to top it off but even on the wettest of days Kilshane house and the grounds can?t but look beautiful! The orangerie was so beautifully laid out and the conservatory for the reception drinks was like something out of a movie! I don?t know how the chef got the beef so perfectly cooked to everyone?s taste for a 150 people but it was very impressive! If I was planning our wedding all over again we would choose Kilshane house in a heartbeat! Thank you Jane and Finbar for facilitating and providing the most perfect location and setting for our wedding :)

Kilshane House is an absolutely beautiful venue - loads of beautiful spaces for pictures, even if it rains on the day. We absolutely loved the conservatory for our ceremony.
The staff were incredibly professional, they were very responsive to all our emails and requests, and were great at putting us both at ease in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself.
The food and drinks were delicious, everyone commented how good the dinner was! We had the best weekend - we loved it, but so too did all the guests!

I attended the wedding of a close family member recently and was shocked at the attitude of the owner towards mine and other guests' children in attendance. When outside the main room for a break during the meal with my son and nieces, I was spoken to in a passive aggressive and patronising way by the owner who asked where the babysitter was (it was 7pm). Comments were continously made about the children leaving their seats and even when playing in the grounds the next morning, causing no inconvenience to anyone else. The owner didn't realise that other guests actually like children and would not expect them to be seated in the basement (apparently the owner's suggestion for weddings). The children's meals came out long after the adults meaning the children were hungry and restless- no allergy information was available yet food was placed in front of children, and because I wasn't in my seat (changing my son's nappy) I did not get a starter. The wedding was beautiful and other staff members were all very welcoming, but my experience was tainted by the awful, out-dated attitude of the management toward families and children. It is hard enough being a parent of young children without being treated like an inconvenience.
Response from Kilshane House
It is made clear to all our brides and grooms that Kilshane House has a very strict policy that children must be supervised at all times by responsible adults or by one of our Garda vetted child minders. To be fair, we have a working farm with cattle, horses, and electric fences along with a busy driveway in addition to a lake, river, and a house circa 1822 with stairs, a conservatory with a fountain, etc., and the last thing we want is a child to get hurt. We would like any child invited to a wedding to enjoy themselves and the child minders we recommend are happy to entertain them and keep them busy and safe. In our experience, children enjoy the drinks reception and then, usually, go to the Billiard room for a private party with the child minders. Their food has been selected by the bride and groom in consultation with the children’s parents, taking into consideration any allergies, and served to them prior to the main wedding dinner in the Orangerie. In the Orangerie, fine dining is the art of combining exquisite food and exquisite service which is something we take very seriously. Restless children in the Orangerie compromise this and pose a real risk to themselves and others.

We had a great experience with Kilshane House, they are very experienced at what they do and made the whole planning process very easy for us even with all the uncertainty of COVID. All our guests were extremely complimentary about their experience. I don't think there is a nicer location than the conservatory for an on-site ceremony at any wedding venue in the country, it's simply stunning (and weatherproof!). We have our fingers crossed that someone we know has their wedding at Kilshane so we can visit again as guests!

We had our wedding in Kilshane House over 2 days in October, with dinner and drinks the night before for our bridal party, followed by our humanist ceremony in the conservatory and dinner reception in the orangerie the next day. The venue was amazing and everything we hoped for. It looked spectacular on the day and every member of staff couldn't have been more helpful. We couldn't have asked for more in a venue and had our dream wedding! We loved the exclusivity and the large amount of on-site accommodation, and the grounds were ideal for our photos. Would 100% recommend!

Finbar and Jane who are the owners of the house were amazing throughout our wedding journey and were extremely thoughtful as they gifted us a wonderful token on our wedding day. Alex, our wedding planner was superwoman. She was so kind, reliable and pragmatic when we needed her. Food was superb on both days as was the attention to detail from the wonderful staff. The grounds are incredible, hence our wedding photos are amazing! We got married during Covid-19 and I can honestly say, I wouldn't change a thing because everyone at Kilshane House made such an effort to ensure everyone's safety whilst also making it discreet.

Our wedding at Kilshane House was simply perfect! We couldn?t have asked for better! The ceremony in the conservatory was beautiful followed by amazing photos taken around the house and grounds-it really is a magical place.

The food was delicious, plentiful and topped off by a great wine selection. The service from wedding coordinator, banqueting manager, chefs, waiting staff and bar staff were second to none and they couldn?t have done more for us on our special day. I loved how we felt so at home while there and that we had full exclusivity of the venue making our wedding intimate and romantic! I throughly enjoyed the fact we could decorate the orangerie in anyway we so pleased the day before which really added to the personalisation and atmosphere of our wedding- we went full woodland bringing in real trees and moss!

Since the wedding we have got so many complements about the setting, the atmosphere, the ceremony location, accommodation but most of all the food! The lamb was amazing and the guests really raved about the whole day!

We chose autumn and on our particular day the weather was dry, bright and an autumnal crisp day which highlighted the beauty of Kilshane House! Perfect for those much sought after photographs!

Thank you Kilshane House, Jane and Finbarr for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

We are so happy we chose Kilshane House as our wedding venue. The staff were very helpful throughout the whole planning process, in particular Leanne, who is just so lovely to deal with and was always there to answer any questions we had. The venue is absolutely stunning and even though we didn't get to enjoy the grounds too much on the wedding day due to the rain, everyone absolutely loved the house and conservatory for the drinks reception. We are really passionate about food and this was important to us when picking a venue and Kilshane did not dissapoint. The food was absolutely incredible throughout our whole stay. Ralf the head chef is really talented and all our guests came up to us saying how much they enjoyed the food. The pig on the spit on day two was a particular hightlight. Jane and Finbar are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the process of choosing a wedding venue.

Cannot recommend Kilshane House enough. We knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding from our very first visit. The Glass house where we had our drinks reception and Day 2 BBQ was stunning, even with the rain outside we felt like we were in our own glass bubble - literally! The Orangerie was what sealed the deal for us, a beautiful bright, classy and airy dining room, and the food was out of this world. It was a pleasure meeting and dealing with the owners and all the staff who were incredibly accommodating to all our needs and requirements. 7 weeks later we are still receiving compliments about the meal and venue!! The house, gardens and grounds are stunning and provide beautiful back drops for photos. If you are considering celebrating your wedding in Kilshane House, DO IT! You won't regret it!

I most certainly would not recommend Kilshane House. From the moment I walked into this venue the first thing I noticed was the owners attitude and disdain towards children. This hotel has a policy that children have to eat in a separate dinning room, which is downstairs and completely away from the main function room.

I also found my room very average and over priced, ?722.00 for 2 nights for 2 adults and 3 children under 8, with 1 double bed and 3 camp beds. The rooms did not have a TV, which proves my point that children are second class citizens in this hotel. Overall it was a very unpleasant experience. This is not a family friendly hotel.
Response from Kilshane House
Dear Peter, we have had many children as guests throughout the twenty years we have been in business. We have always been responsible from a health and safety perspective to care for them but also to ensure that they genuinely enjoy being at a wedding here. We have made it clear that children must be supervised by qualified people at all times. We offer excellent trained childcare workers (Garda vetted) who the Hayes hired. Kilshane House is a private house not a hotel and we have never had televisions in the bedrooms. We do have a dedicated television room and, for important matches or racing, we have a projector screen television system as well. It is the bride and groom who decide whether they want children in the main event room or if they prefer them to dine together somewhere else. It is not the owner’s decision. The room Mr. and Mrs. Hayes stayed in is one that has frequently served as a bridal suite. It is 62 m2/721 sq.ft. not including the large bathroom en-suite. This is the size of many 2 bedroom apartments. They insisted on three camp beds in the room for their children which was provided for them. The rate for all bedrooms reserved here include very generous breakfasts as well.

From the moment we arrived at kilshane on the Thursday afternoon to when we left on Sunday afternoon, everything at Kilshane ran perfectly. The staff are all so professional and Jane and Finbar the owners have a fantastic team behind them. We were able to relax and enjoy the day because everything ran so smoothly. Ralph Mahler the chef is extremely talented and all the food served was top class and much appreciated by all our guests. The setting is absolutely beautiful, it speaks for itself and it?s a real bonus that the venue can accommodate so many guests onsite which really added to the atmosphere of the weekend. I chilled the day after the wedding and went for a walk whilst my husband went clay pigeon shooting on the grounds with friends. In the evening we returned to the beautiful conservatory for a bbq. For us it was everything we expected and more and I?d highly recommend as a wedding venue.

From the moment we arrived on the Thursday afternoon to when we left on the Sunday everything ran like clockwork at kilshane. The staff are extremely professional and Jane and Finbar have an excellent team around them. The food on all days was phenomenal, Ralph is a truly gifted chef and all our guests raved about the food!! Kilshane house for me had it all the stunning location, fantastic food and staff who keep everything running smoothly so that you?ve time to enjoy the day. A big plus is that so many of our guests could stay onsite and that there are activities such as clay pigeon shooting available. We could not have had a better weekend and all recommend suppliers from kilshane were excellent. Our wedding was the perfect weekend for us.

I am conscious that I have marked the venue down in some areas so I am going to try and explain as best I can for this. Firstly, If I were to go back in time I would still book Kilshane house as my venue and at the end of the day my wedding was pretty much exactly what I wanted. This was largely down to my bridal party and friends who ensured everything went as planned and picked up when the ball was dropped.

The venue itself is OUT OF THIS WORLD. It is a perfect country house if you want a private wedding away from the typical hotel venue. The grounds are amazing, the drive up to the house itself is stunning and the conservatory is so so beautiful.

We stayed the night before and had tapas and the food was AMAZING. We thought with it being tapas that it would be just little bites and had told people to have a dinner early in the day. We shouldn't have. There was so much good and so much meat we were all stuffed and there was more left over. My husband's father needed something easier to eat as he was out from hospital and fabulous soup and sandwiches were provided no hassle at all. The waitresses were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. This was the same on the wedding day. The food, the service was just exceptional and everything from the canap?s to the main meal were some of the best food I have ever eaten. And to top it off the chef brought out second helpings of the main course to anyone who wanted it- it was very impressive!

The barmen were also out of this world. They couldn't do enough for us and we ended up having difficulty getting a taxi to take my father in law back to hospital the night before the wedding (We didn't know he was going to be in hospital obviously so had nothing organised) so the barman actually drove him back to Limerick himself. He absolutely didn't need to do that but it's just an example of how the hospitality staff went over and above for us.

We met the owner Finbarr also and he was a very nice man and was also glad to help where he could. He gave us engraved crystal champagne glasses to mark the date which I must say are a lovely touch.

Now... The downsides which I feel should be pointed out for future brides. Luckily I am VERY laid back but I think if I was someone who stresses easily I might have been very upset on the lead up to the wedding.

In the year and a half / two years (cannot remember exactly) that I had booked my wedding I had correspondence with 6 different wedding coordinators. I don't know What's normal for a venue but I found this really excessive. Only once was I contacted to say 2 had left at one time. When I had built up a relationship with the coordinator after these last two had left I felt like everything was going well again ( I expressed concern after losing the previous 4). Then a week to the day before the wedding i found myself going through everything that had previously been organised. When I asked why I was being asked all this again- I was told my previous coordinator had left. So a week before my wedding i had a new coordinator taking over- and I was never told until I asked myself. Which I thought was a little worrying. But I went with the flow.

On the day before the wedding i stayed at the venue as I said, the coordinator was supposed to meet me that day but left early instead. Now I was later arriving than expected but I was told that she would meet me there. This again didn't bother me but I found out later that all of the reception was set up wrong to the layout and table plan that they had asked me to provide. There were actually far more tables and over 30 places set too many. We had hired our own linens also and the staff refused to correct the table layout or seating plan or use the linens we had provided- so instead of my wedding party spending the evening relaxing with us they all had to strip the tables themselves and breakdown the excess tables, arrange the linens and reset all the tables as they were supposed to be set. Now imagine my bridal party hadn't gone to look at that room? Or that we hadn't stayed the night before? PICK YOUR WEDDING PARTY WISELY PEOPLE, THEY ARE SOOOO IMPORTANT!

On the day of the wedding i had Amy Daunt Event Stylist doing all of the decor and styling and I know she also had some issues with the wedding coordinator on the day. I am so glad I had Amy as she knew exactly what I wanted and she made everything so- even if she had to fight for it. Best money I spent on the day was having her take care of styling and essentially the overall wedding coordination. Along with my fabulous bridesmaids.

The other major issue I had in the end was also a linen issue. As a favor I had a friend pick up and return the hired linens from Dublin (we are from limerick). The morning after the wedding i specifically asked if they had definitely had all been returned to us as someone was driving them back especially. I was assured they were. They weren't. I asked the wedding coordinator a few days later if she would arrange for them to be couriered to the company as it was their mistake. After almost a week I got a call from Amy (the event stylist) saying she had got a call from the coordinator who informed her that I had said that Amy was responsible for organising and paying for a courier for those lines- this was the first time i was very annoyed with the venue and at this point the whole situation with wedding coordinators was leaving a bad impression. So I called Kilshane- I told them that Amy was not responsible as it was their mistake and I was told that they would not be organising or paying for a courier that I had to deal with it myself. The wedding coordinator brought the linens to limerick but I had to drive them to Dublin myself the next morning ( I have 7 month old twins so this was not just a simple trip as you can imagine and I had to drag the poor pets with me).

So.... I hope I have given a fair portrayal of the event. As I have said I would still book Kilshane House if u was to do it all over again. The venue, food, service, people there are amazing but they issues with wedding coordinators needs to be resolved as I can see it having a huge impact on the venue in the future which would be an absolute shame. Also, I must also say that I feel like I have slated the wedding coordinator. I really thought she was a very nice person but I think that there was a lot that could and should have been handled better. Particularly as I had been so accommodating with everything that had happened in the lead up. Now I did say this all before I left the venue and was given two bottles of wine as an apology but I was also told that my wedding party didn't need to do the tables- which was simply not true. I honestly don't think that mistake would have even been noticed if it weren't for them. The day went off without a hitch and no one was any the wiser- including myself until After. This was thanks to the staff at Kilshane and my wedding party and definitely Amy Daunt Event Stylist who held it all together.

Also my shower the wedding morning in the bridal suite was blocked - but I forgot to mention this to them on the morning and just used by bridesmaids next door so it was fine!

We had a magical day at Kilshane House. We got married out on the lawn, with the rolling green hills creating a stunning back drop for our ceremony. There are so many beautiful places to get married in Kilshane, the conservatory, by the lake, in the walled garden, on the lawn. All the staff were fabulous! Everyone was open to ideas, and so helpful and accommodating. On the day of the wedding (and the night before, as we had a family dinner there the evening before) so many guests commented on the friendliness of the staff. Jane went above and beyond to help when my florist got the wrong day, Leanne helped me so much to plan the wedding and answered all my questions and made sure everything went off perfectly. The head bar man is a legend. The food was fabulous!!!!! Especially the canap?s and the Beef Wellington. We had lots of people talking about those. The cocktails were fabulous. Everything just went so well and looked beautiful and the day flowed perfectly. We felt like a king and queen for the day. The only thing I found a little complicated was the system for booking accommodation for guests but on the day everyone was happy. We would highly recommend Kilshane to any future brides and grooms.

We had the most wonderful wedding weekend at Kilshane House in March 2018. We stayed the Fri, Sat and Sun and really felt at home. The setting is absolutely beautiful, the food is delicious and the dining room and conservatory are stunning.

I have to say though, the best thing about Kilshane House is its incredible staff. Their friendliness and attention to detail is second to none. They copped that a lot of our guests were drinking Guinness the night before the wedding and had pints at the ready for them as part of the drinks reception when we all returned after the wedding ceremony on the Sat, without us having to ask. They were also very kind to my Grandad who got hungry during the speeches and brought him tea and sandwiches to tide him over.

We dealt with Leanne throughout the process and she was fantastic. And I have to mention Calum (really hope I?m spelling his name right!), bartender extraordinaire who went above and beyond on the weekend.

Thank you guys for an amazing weekend. We had the time of our lives. Jenny & Conor xxx

There aren't enough words out there to properly convey how amazing it was to celebrate our wedding in Kilshane House. From the second we went to see the beautiful house and grounds for ourselves I knew it was the perfect venue for us. Such a beautiful house so sympathetically restored and amended suitably to make it the perfect venue for a large group of people while still maintaining an intimate atmosphere.

Jane and Finbar, the owners of the house, were extremely welcoming and our guests commented on how hospitable they were to each and every one of them.

On the day of our wedding all the waiting and bar staff were so friendly and the service was impeccable. As for the food...wow!! That was one thing that was really important for use and they surely delivered!!

Our co ordinator Ruth could not have been nicer and more helpful. She was always there to answer our questions and guide us every step of the way!

If you're looking for that special intimate venue that will make you and your guests feel truly special then look no further. And whats great also is the accommodation is plentiful and good value which is something you don't find with alot of country house venues.

I genuinely dont think we could have had a more perfect venue in our wildest dreams...thank you to everybody there for giving us the best weekend of our lives!!!! Siobhan and Eoin

Finally we get around to writing a review some 6 months after our wedding but better late than never I guess! We felt compelled to review Kilshane having had the most incredible wedding there.
We often wondered whether wedding reviews are tainted by the fact that most people see things through rose tinted glasses, it being the happiest day of their lives and all. But contrary to that, given it is the most planned, detail driven and high investment day most of us go through I think it is easy to find even the tiniest of flaws.
And the reality is Kilshane had practically none in truth. Quite simply I cant recommend it highly enough. We got married there the first weekend in March in unseasonably warm and dry weather which absolutely made a difference. We had a two day wedding across Friday and Saturday with family also staying on the Thursday night and all went perfectly from minute one.
To start with the team there are incredibly helpful, knowledgable and responsive. We had looked at a lot of venues and never came across the same level of professionalism - and thats exactly what you want when you're considering a venue. Bar the obvious attractions of the grounds, house and reputation for good food, it was the staff, particularly Rachel, who made up our mind it was the venue for us. That same level of service extended through all stages of planning and obviously the weekend itself. Aside from professionalism the other crucial factor is trust. You deal with so many people planning your wedding and so often can feel like you're being taken for a ride on this, or ripped off for that. And though we bargained hard on different elements of our wedding with the team at Kilshane there was never a moment when the trust wavered. That, as much as anything else, contributed to the success of our wedding.
Everything else is what you'll hear from anyone you ask about Kilshane - beautiful venue inside and out from the grounds to the drawing rooms, the famous conservatory, the downstairs lounge and the simple but classic main room, brilliant food, a great variety of on site accommodation, intimate feeling of being the only guests there - we heard it all and experienced it all ourselves.
The only downside (to prove were not totally biased) was with our food on the day when a couple of guests were concerned their fish was slightly undercooked - though clearly it is a case of personal taste the staff were as obliging as you'd expect and replacements were brought out without a fuss. As for the rest of us, not a scrap was left on the plates despite the nerves surrounding the speeches and almost every guest remarked on the high standard of the food.
In short, we believe you will do well to find many better venues in the country and if you have yet to decide on a venue, rest assured it wont be a wasted trip.
