Lyrath Estate Hotel

We had the most special wedding day and weekend in the Lyrath Estate! Everything and everyone part of the day were brilliant from start to finish, the whole day was effortless. The wedding team and all staff in the Lyrath couldn’t do enough for us, they are amazing and we received so many compliments from all our family and friends about how incredible the staff are! The food and accommodation are exceptional! It was such a special day but made even more special by the Lyrath Estate team. Thank you so much x

We had a small intimate midweek wedding in the Manor House in the Lyrath estate hotel. It was so lovely. The food and the service were fantastic. And we would thoroughly recommend.

As an older couple we were a bit apprehensive about our wedding day. We made a decision in June to marry in October. Our first port of call was the Lyrath Hotel and we were not disappointed. Over that short period of time Susan Lanigan and her team were extremely attentive and helpful. Everything went like clockwork and on the day, it was fantastic. We wanted for nothing and our guests were very happy with the hotel. It was a day, a night and a morning to remember. We would do it all again - at Lyrath!

Candice and the whole team in the lyrath were absolutely exceptional on the lead up to our wedding and on the weekend itself. They put so much thought into everything and it all went off without a hitch! They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish! Candice was such a huge help in getting everything sorted and was always so quick to respond and gave us wonderful advice to help in the planning stages! We really can’t thank her enough, all the guests commented on how fantastic the hotel was! From start to finish we couldnt have asked for more- I would so highly recommend the lyrath to anyone thinking of getting married in the area! We will remember our wedding day and the special part the lyrath played in the weekend forever. Thank you all so much again- we can’t wait to come back to visit again ! ❤️

What can I say about the amazing Lyrath Estate hotel. Myself and my husband got married this day last week and our guests are still saying how incredible it was.
A little background when we first picked Lyrath everything was so perfect. We had our amazing wedding coordinator Natasha look after us and was with us every step of the way. When it came to the food tasting we had Susan and Natasha there to look after us. To the showcases we went to we met the lovely Peter and all the gorgeous pleasant staff !

To our wedding day from check in to check out it was incredible. Every person in the hotel couldn’t do enough for us. Exceptional staff. We had the joys of having Natasha Susan Peter Ayunda Alam to name a few but I can’t express how amazing everybody was! It’s so hard to name everyone because everybody was so good to us. From the bar staff to the waiters to the guys sorting our luggage. Everything was just perfect and we re so grateful for Lyrath and all the staff you made our day so perfect. Without the staff playing the biggest role in our day we would have been lost so thank you. I can’t say enough about Lyrath you have been incredible truly wonderful people and exceptional service from start to finish.

For anyone thinking of getting married you will not regret choosing Lyrath they will really look after you and I think with a wedding day being one of the most important days of your life you need that extra care and the staff and Natasha definitely looked after us.

Lyrath Estate Hotel was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. We celebrated the night before, our wedding day and our day 2 in the Lyrath and it was exceptional from the minute we arrived. Candice and all the team were brilliant in the lead up to our wedding and throughout the all the celebrations. Candice, the wedding coordinator, was amazing throughout the planning process. We were planning a lot of our wedding from abroad and Candice was always there to answer all our questions. She was so helpful and made it so easy for us. She responded to all our queries so quickly and gave us some great advice in the planning stages. Candice is truly exceptional at her job!

The staff were so attentive and helpful all weekend and the food and service were excellent. It is such a beautiful venue and all our guests have commented on what a fabulous weekend it was. We were so impressed by all the staff throughout the weekend who really went above and beyond for us and our families. A special thanks to Sean, Peter, Alam and all the staff who looked after us so well throughout the weekend.

We had such an amazing experience and memories that will last a lifetime. We would highly recommend the Lyrath as a wedding venue and can’t thank the team in Lyrath enough!

We celebrated the night before, our wedding day and the day 2 at Lyrath Estate and from the minute we arrived our experience was exceptional.

The food and service was excellent throughout and the venue itself is beautiful. All of the team were so friendly and helpful to ourselves and all of our guests.

A special thank you to Candice who goes above and beyond her role as a wedding co ordinator. Her professionalism and attention to detail made sure the weekend ran seamlessly. And to Peter & Sean for making sure our guests had such a good experience. We didn’t worry about a thing all weekend - the team are so experienced and took care of everything.

Highly recommend as a wedding venue!

Impossible to find any flaws. We had a number of questions/queries in the lead up which were always answered in a professional manner.

We did 3 days for our wedding and loved every minute of it. We knew it was a beautiful venue as we had stayed there numerous times before as well as attending a wedding but our experience blew us away.

Our bbq on day 2 was truly exceptional where the craic was mighty.

From every member of stay going above and beyond right down to the tiny little details such as gifts for our little boy in his room for his birthday.

Every single guest has been on complimenting the hotel, service and food.

I cannot recommend Lyrath enough in relation to planning a wedding. They were always so professional yet friendly and flexible to accommodate any request with such grace. They made the whole experience so relaxed and memorable for us. The day of the wedding I cannot fault any member of the Lyrath team - they work seamlessly together and it felt like a home away from home the few days we stayed after the wedding.

From start to finish everyone at Lyrath Estate has been absolutely amazing! It was the first venue we viewed and we just knew the minute we stepped foot in the door it was the venue for us. Our wedding coordinator Candice was the best, so incredibly kind and helpful every step of the way! Every staff member, from being greeted at the door, to serving our dinner we can’t thank you enough for the most amazing day! We can’t wait to come back to this amazing venue for our year anniversary and the many more to come in the future! Everyone is still talking about how incredible the whole day was and how wonderful the venue and staff were too! We visited the hotel a few times in the lead up to the big day including a stay with both our parents to show them the wonderful venue and every stay was perfect and we were well looked after. We would highly recommend this amazing venue to everyone, simply perfect!

If you are looking for the perfect place for your special day, look no further than Lyrath Estate. We booked this venue two and a half years ago, and Wow it did not disappoint. What started off as a stay for a birthday celebration ended up becoming the venue for our wedding celebration. Lyrath, oozes with elegance, class and seamless service with the best staff in any hotel in Ireland. While Lyrath Estate is a stunning venue the people in Lyrath make it what it is today and it is a very special place. Candice is the wedding co ordinator, and this lady really does have it all. From being so attentive to understanding, Candice encapsulates everything a wedding co ordinator should be and more. The level of detail, explanation and organisation made our special day the perfection it turned out to be. No stone was left unturned, nothing was ever an issue or too much of an ask and when you get married at Lyrath the hotel really do take you in as one of their own and they go above and beyond for the couple and their families and guests. Our guests where blown away just as much as we were and the food was absolutely amazing, sometimes you hear at weddings that the top table get the best food and service, well rest assured this is not the case at Lyrath every single person we talked too at our wedding of 150 people could not get over the how nice the staff were, how amazing the food was and the service provided during a very busy dinner reception. Lyrath cannot be matched for what it offers as a wedding venue, to the ceremony outside, to the drinks reception in the old house and the dinner in the function room, it is top class from start to finish. Not forgetting the beauty of the outdoors and the grounds surrounding Lyrath for wedding party photos and for your wedding guests to enjoy a stroll. We had our Day 2 also at Lyrath and we had it in the Pavillon. Which is the perfect outdoor setting for a BBQ. My Dad still talks about the food we had and boy it did not disappoint. It was just amazing from start to finish. I could write all day about Lyrath Estate and how many perfect this location is for a wedding, but I honestly couldn’t find enough words to describe its sheer excellence. I only hope that if you consider Lyrath as your location that you grab your date with both hands as it will without a shadow of a doubt be the best decision you ever make, and we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to marry and have our special day in Lyrath Estate.

We got married in Lyrath June Bank Holiday 2024, we truly had the best weekend.
Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us.
Candice was fantastic and nothing was an issue.
Our guests are all still raving about staff, food, venue, etc.
Our photos from the grounds are spectacular. Couldn't recommend Lyrath Estate highly enough

What can I say Lyrath went above and beyond in making our day so special. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. The food on the day was absolutely fabulous our guests are still raving about it fantastic taste and quality of food was served. But a huge thank you to staff member Candice who helped us plan our special day and went to great lengths to ensure all our needs were met. Overall Would highly recommend having your special day here it will definitely be a magical experience you won’t forget. We look forward to returning again for a stay soon.

Recently we got married in the beautiful Lyrath Estate and our wedding day was absolutely flawless thanks to all of the wonderful staff. Every one of our guests were blown away by how impeccable the service and venue was. Candice was our wedding coordinator and we can’t thank her enough for everything she did in the lead up to our wedding. She was super organised and helpful throughout the entire process and kept us both so calm on the day. She had a clear schedule but was so flexible that if we wanted anything changed at all she would make it happen. She truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We were also beyond impressed with Peter and all the conference and banqueting staff and chefs. The food was incredible, from the canapés to the meal. All our guests were saying it was the best food at a wedding ever. The level of service that we and our guests received on our wedding day was truly more than we could have ever expected. We cannot thank you all enough. Lyrath Estate will hold a special place in our hearts for the rest of our lives and we hope we can hold more special occasions that come along for us over the years to come there.

We got married last month in the Lyrath Estate Hotel and everyone had an absolute ball.

We can’t thank our wedding co-ordinator, Candice enough for all her help in the lead up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding itself. She was very helpful and took us through the day from start to finish on many occasions before it happened.

The Lyrath Estate staff were brilliant throughout the weekend and really made our guests feel at ease. The food and service were top class.

It’s a stunning venue and it’s the one thing our wedding guests have mentioned since we’ve met them after the wedding.

We had an amazing wedding weekend at Lyrath Estate. From the moment we saw the hotel we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. Such a gorgeous hotel! Gill was amazing from start to finish and her attention to detail was second to none. We could not have asked for more from her. Everything was organised and sorted, allowing us to have a relaxed day! The food was amazing and all our guests commented on how lovely it was.
We also had a BBQ on the second day and the food was amazing.
We had a fabulous experience and memories that will last a lifetime.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for the seamless day on Friday. All the staff went above and beyond for us and from the minute we arrived (early because of the rain!) Couldn't have been more accommodating.

All our guests were blown away with the service and are still talking about the food!

We look forward to visiting again soon!

Staff so down to earth. Venue amazing. Food amazing. Very responsive to needs. Fantastic hotel and experience. What May be lacking and is in other wedding packages is a anniversary stay complimentary. Otherwise could not say a bad word.

We, along with our guests, stayed in Lyrath for our wedding night. They could not have been more attentive and helpful. The manager came to find my now husband on our wedding morning just so he could introduce himself. We were provided with a private room the morning after the wedding for an intimate family breakfast. We were also able to use the hotel and its grounds for amazing photos. The food was absolutely amazing. We are already counting down the days til we can return for our 1 year anniversary.

Words can't really describe how happy we were with how well our wedding went. It was incredible. From the first point of contact with Lyrath through to the big day, staff at Lyrath were exceptional and made us feel so very welcome. Nothing was ever a problem. All of our requirements were catered for, we were given excellent advice and support from Gill our wedding coordinator and this culminated in our perfect day. We were fortunate that the sun was shining and this allowed us to host our ceremony outside in front of the Manor House, which has made for some incredible photos. All of our guests raved about the food, the portions and the venue. We couldn't have asked for more.

We would absolutely recommend Lyrath to anyone looking to have a wedding in Ireland.

We can't wait to return for our 1 year anniversary!

From the moment we walked into Lyrath Estate we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Our day was an absolute dream and everything we could have wished for an more.

The venue, the food and the staff are out of this world. A special mention needs to be given to our wedding coordinator Gill who went above and beyond to make sure our day was all we dreamed of and more.

All of our guests commented on both the beautiful venue and the amazing food. Nothing was ever too big an ask and we throughly enjoyed popping up to the hotel for wedding tastings and meetings with Gill.

Gill was so helpful and obliging that it made the planning of the wedding stress free which meant we had time to enjoy the run up to it and celebrate with family and friends. She is absolutely amazing at her job and you can tell within five minutes that she loves what she does. Gill is an absolute lady and a pleasure to deal with. We had so much fun with her.

One look at this hotel and you?ll fall in love. The attention to detail in the hotel is amazing. The staff are friendly, mannerly and kind. We wanted our guests to feel special and that's exactly what happened.

Thank you to all the staff for making our day magical. Our hearts are so full. We've made memories to last a lifetime.

Best wishes,
Denis & ?ine

We had our wedding in Lyrath Estate on the 28th of July last year, it was the most magical day. Gill, Boban and all the staff at Lyrath were flawless throughout the whole process we highly recommend Lyrath Estate to any future couples.
After the initial meeting we knew we were going to choose Lyrath, Gill was so easy to deal with and couldn't do enough for us. From the menu and wine tasting, viewing the room set up for different guest numbers to the last minute rush emails from me Gill and Boban delivered on everything.
Thank you for helping make the day the best day of our lives!

Where do I start ! Lyrath Estate was absolutely superb from start to finish, I could not recommend this hotel venue highly enough. Gill the wedding coordinator was fantastic and guided me through every detail of the wedding, no request was too big or too small. On the day, Emma-Jayne, Susan and Boban were so helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue decorations, the drinks reception and the main meal were perfect. All of the food was delicious and nothing was left behind. I have numerous family members with severe allergies and everyone was catered for to the highest standard. We had the best day of our lives in Lyrath Estate and again I could not recommend it highly enough!

We truly had the BEST wedding day possible and that was down to our amazing wedding venue Lyrath and their brilliant staff! From the moment we visited Lyrath we knew it had to be our venue. Wedding coordinator Gill went above and beyond for us and nothing was any trouble and she made sure the day went seamlessly for us! Our guests were blown away by the hotel and beautiful grounds. The food was out of this world and so many of our guests have said to us it was the best wedding venue and food they have ever had. Gill and all the staff are so friendly and they really make sure everything goes smoothly for you both on the day. Lyrath ticks every box and we would recommend it to anybody! From top class food, warm and friendly staff, beautiful rooms and the ability to create an amazing atmosphere for our guests! We are so glad we chose Lyrath as our wedding venue and Gill could not have been more helpful! The hotel is truly breath taking and we couldn't recommend it enough to couples.

We got married in the Lyrath in April 2022 and couldn't recommend it more. We planned our wedding from Australia and Gill (wedding co-ordinator) couldn't have been more accommodating. Gill and the team were extremely responsive to our emails and calls and made the whole process stress-free. All of our guests complimented the excellent hospitality with the food and service second to none. The staff in the hotel were amazing from start to finish, particularly Gill, Darragh and Boban who helped make our day so special. We have just received our wedding photos and video back with incredible shots at the lake on the Estate. The mix of old and new between the Manor house and the modern function room really distinguishes the Lyrath from other venues. Thanks to everyone at the Lyrath for making our day so special.

We got married in October 2021 and had our reception in Lyrath Estate Hotel. The Manor House was the perfect setting for our drinks reception and the grounds provided wonderful autumnal colours for our photographs, there are so many options! The team were fantastic to deal with especially when there were things not within our control due to restrictions. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and something all our guests noticed. Gill and Nathan were fantastic to deal with, nothing was ever too much for them. Would highly recommend Lyrath as a venue for a wedding!

Lyrath is top class and we had the most magical day for our wedding in December. The decor in the hotel was like a winter wonderland and provided a fabulous backdrop for our photos. We were blessed with a clear bright day and we went to the lake beside the hotel for our photos. So beautiful. The meal was amazing and we got lots of compliments. Gill was our wedding coordinator and she couldn't of done enough for us.
I would highly recommend lyrath for your special day.

We would highly recommended the Lyrath Estate Hotel as a wedding venue. We had our wedding there in October 2019 and had the absolute best day we could ask for.

Our wedding coordinator Gill was extremely professional from the beginning and guided and advised us through the whole process with ease. No queries or concerns on our part were an issue and it ultimately allowed us to have little or no stress on our wedding day.

We can honestly say that on the day of our wedding we did not have any concerns about anything as the hotel proved themselves as highly organised, professional and pros at weddings :) The banqueting managers (Gavin and Nathan) on the day and beforehand were amazing too. Thanks to them the day ran very smoothly and we didn't have to even think about anything once we arrived at the hotel.

Not only is the food top class, the venue is amazing and such a beautiful place for the reception and photographs etc.

Overall - Top class hotel and the Ultimate Wedding Venue

From start to finish, we were delighted with how everything went. Gill helped us with all the planning and she was very easy to work with - she was very organised, thought of everything and gave us plenty of time to make any decisions.

Everything went to plan on the day, thanks to the brilliant staff, and in particular Nathan who looked after us on the day. The food was delicious, from the drinks reception through to the meal and late night buffet. We are still talking about the dinner!

We really liked that the dining room included a separate dance floor, so there was no need to move away the tables and the band could start immediately after the speeches. The old house is also a beautiful setting for the drinks reception, plus there is outside space if you get a sunny day. The hotel is also big enough that most of our guests were able to stay there.

Overall we would highly recommend Lyrath to any couple!

We are so happy we chose the Lyrath for our special day. It is such a beautiful setting. All of our guests loved the old house and country setting with the luxury of the hotel and spa. The Lyrath were very easy to deal with and gave us a lot of help when we needed it. The food was amazing. Every commented on how great the food was. They also had lovely food for our guests with dietary requirements. All of our photos taken at the Lyrath were beautiful. My favourite are the photos taken at the lake. It looks like a fairytale. Would highly recommend the Lyrath to any couple.

We booked our wedding with Lyrath Estate in November 2018, and our wedding took place in July 2019. We worked directly with Gill throughout the process - she was just excellent to deal with, and nothing we asked for was a problem. At every meeting, Gill had a full update for us, and worked through the list in an extremely professional manner. The day itself was magical (despite the weather!). We had amazing feedback from everyone who attended. We would highly recommend the Lyrath for anyone considering venues for their wedding. Thanks again to Gill for making it all so easy!

We had an absolutely amazing 3 days for our wedding in lyrath , it was the wedding of our dreams . We felt at home for those 3 days everything was just so enjoyable. The food was just absolute perfection , everyone was talking about it , from the canapés to the main Meal to the bbq the next day just unreal. We were so impressed with absolutely everything We enjoyed every single second of our time in lyrath and so did our guests !All of the Staff, waiters & Managers were so helpful and professional, the location & setting is just simply amazing we couldn't have asked for anymore we would highly recommend if you are considering having your wedding in Lyrath you will not regret I =)

My husband and I had our wedding reception in the Lyrath estate on the 31st May 2019 and the staff couldn't have done enough for us. During the planning stage, Iona was so helpful and a pleasure to deal with, every minor detail was looked after and nothing was ever an issue. On the day Nathan looked after us, Nathan and his team were really amazing. Everything ran so smoothly and the food was absolutely gorgeous. The Lyrath really was everything we could have wished for and more. The venue is beautiful and the grounds, there are so many places to get gorgeous photos. So many of our guests commented how amazing the hotel was and such a relaxing atmosphere. We cannot wait to go back again and cannot thank Iona, Nathan and the team enough.

I cannot praise Lyrath highly enough as a wedding venue. From the minute we visited them first, they were professional, friendly, approachable, flexible, incredibly accommodating and just a pleasure to plan a wedding with. During the 12 months of planning, we never had an ounce of stress or worry with Lyrath and it all came together so beautifully on the day. A special mention has to go to our wedding coordinator Gill who is warm, welcoming and wonderful at her job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lyrath to other couples planning a wedding

The Lyrath was a very beautiful setting for our wedding. In particular the rooms within the Manor House, where the Arrival Reception was held, are full of gorgeous period charm. The hotel was very cosy despite the March weather. Overall the day went smoothly from start to finish thanks to the preparation, attention to detail, warmth and professionalism of the staff there. We would highly recommend this hotel to other couples planning their special day!

Everything was perfect from start to finish and all of the staff at Lyrath estate were a pleasure to deal with.

Lyrath is the perfect venue for a wedding! We had about 200 guests and so many of them said "we are definitely coming back to this place". The food is incredible and we had the honour of meeting the amazing chef Abi (everyone raved about the food), there was plenty of drink and the grounds are stunning and so unique(amazing for photos). Gill was our wedding coordinator and she went above and beyond. Lyrath is so unique in their service- while it's a 5 star hotel, you don't feel the staff are being friendly because they have to. There is a warmth and friendliness that makes you feel a part of the place. I've never seen this in a hotel before and Gill was a perfect example of that also. You don't just build a "professional" relationship throughout the process, you build a friendship which is so genuine. I hope Lyrath never loose that quality. When we hadn't organised a flower arrangement for the church to bring to the venue for the top table, Gill was one step ahead of us and organised ia florist to make one anyway (she knew us only too well). All staff on the day were so friendly and kind, in particular Nathan, who really looked after us. We visited a lot of venues but couldn't have picked a better one and we cannot wait to go back!!

I really can't fault a thing. From the moment we booked our wedding day the staff were so helpful and attentive! On the day itself the staff were exceptional. The hotel and ground are absolutely gorgeous so many lovely hidden spots for photos! The food was 10/10, Our guests are still talking about it.
I couldn't recommend the lyrath more!

Absolutely perfect day. I don't know where to start! We got married recently on 27th August 2018 in Lyrath Estate Hotel and from start to finish, it was absolutely brilliant. The whole team, including Gill, Colm, and Nathan were just superb. Our car to the church broke down and Gill organised a beautiful Beaufort wedding car to come from Waterford to collect us from the church. The food at the reception and dinner was delicious and all of our guests commented on how nice and how much food they got! We were in the McCurdy Suite for dinner and it was stunning. The layout, table planning and decor (organised by Gill and Colm) was perfect. The whole day ran so smoothly. We stayed in Lyrath for an extra night and we were treated like royalty from all of the staff, at breakfast, in the spa, at lunch and dinner the next day. We felt so special. All of our guests commented on how kind and obliging the staff were. There is not one thing I could find fault with in Lyrath Estate. Only that we can't do it all over again! We couldn't ask for a better wedding day. Best day of our lives. Thank you so much to all at Lyrath Estate!

Colm and I got married in lyrath last August and it was a fantastic venue. Our wedding coordinator Gill looked after us very well on the months running up to the day and all the staff were brilliant on the day.They were all so personable and made us feel very special on the day. Gill was always on hand to answer our questions on the run up to the wedding and we felt like our needs were taken into account.
The food and wine for our wedding was an important part of our day and we were delighted with how delicious it was and the great feedback from our guests.
We were delighted we choose The Lyrath to celebrate our wedding. The venue is so beautiful and luxurious.

We were so impressed with the whole team at Lyrath. The day was perfect and every little detail was appreciated and noted by ourselves and our guests. We felt like a king and queen for the day and had the most amazing time.

We got married on the 20th of July 2018 in the beautiful Lyrath Estate. From the day we booked the wedding, all the staff could not have been more helpful. The Events and Reservations teams were fantastic at keeping on top of things for us and getting back quickly to any questions we had. Gill and Iona were great to deal with. They made everything so easy for us when we were trying to iron out the finer details closer to the day. A special mention goes to Jo?o, the banqueting manager, and his Catering team. The food was fantastic for the wedding and the BBQ on the second day. From the day we met Jo?o at our menu tasting, he could not have done any more for us, or our guests. A few people had some special requests on the day of the wedding, Jo?o was more than accommodating. People are still commenting to us now about how good the food was at our wedding. Overall, Lyrath Estate was a fantastic venue for our wedding.

We chose The Lyrath Estate Hotel because......
We initially looked passed The Lyrath as it was literally too close to home being on our doorstep, but in the end we just couldn't find where that came close by comparison. We looked farther afield for something a little different but on all levels kept coming back to Kilkenny and to The Lyrath.
Firstly, the setting is Magic!! On driving up - the countryside views and landscapes stretching for miles really creates a breath-taking feel that not many of the larger venues who can cater for numbers of 250+ can offer. Living away from Ireland in Oz, the setting was so important for us as we wanted to feel like we were really at Home, surrounded by Green.
The House and Estate are pristinely kept and even though it has that beautiful Old Estate feel the Lyrath offers superiorly modern amenities and d?cor. The newly renovated ballroom - which has self controlled lighting/background music has a new outdoor decking opening off to the side through huge Glass panels which fills the room with natural light and air and also allows guests who like to take a break from the room - still be a part of the party!!
Their 5 * customer service on all levels left any one else we had dealt with in the waiting blocks.
We were lucky to be gifted with Gillian ? their Events Manager, who was our personal angel in disguise and made organising everything from Australia an absolute breeze. No suggestion was too much and everything we wanted to incorporate into the day was accommodated for. I can honestly say that Gillian and the team made the entire process super enjoyable and easy! All of the organisation was super relaxed? and not only that ? we had such a laugh in the progress.
We had cocktails on the outdoor terrace because the weather was amazing, a whiskey and cigar bar, our own theme incorporated throughout with help from the events theme and florist, all our guests ? especially the ones who traveled were more than accommodated for and this was just the tip of the iceberg.


We completely trusted the expertise the Lyrath had to offer with our menu. Everything we had tried at our tasting and to be honest any time we had went for lunch in the bar, has always been above delicious so we had absolutely no reservations about the food that would be served on the day.
Everyone knows the weather in Ireland is unpredictable. I loved the idea of having an out door drinks reception however its unrealistic to put all of your venue planning eggs in the same basket as the child of Prague!!No problem for the team at the Lyrath - we had the option of having our drinks reception in the fabulous drawing rooms of the house house - or outside in the courtyard area, with view for miles and the house as a back drop. We were so blessed with our 30deg Summer day that there was no other option than to spend teh most part out side and what I loved most was this wasn't even a question or a discussion - we had mentioned this once and on getting to the venue the courtyard was set up for our arrival. We trusted Gillian with a lot of decisions as from our initial meeting with her - her honest approach and advice along with her mass experience in event planning was super obvious. Its very easy and such piece of mind to hand the reigns across knowing you're getting the best options for your budget/theme/ expectations. The canapes perfectly accompanied our summery cocktail selection of Pimm's, Mojitos and Processco.
the menu, to coincide with the summer feel we went with some lighter options of goat's cheese tart, sorbet, sea bass or beef and apple crumble for desert. The food went down a treat and on the advice from the head chef ? left everyone feeling satisfied but not too full to dance!!
We could not recommend the Lyrath highly enough - I think Gillian and her team ( and all the staff throughout the hotel) are really what made the decision for us initially - and proved in the end that we made the right choice in every aspect.

We had an amazing wedding. The entire team at the Lyrath were so helpful and accommodating. The guests had a wonderful time and everyone complemented the food. We highly recommend the Lyrath.

We couldn't have asked for a better hotel for our wedding. Lyrath was amazing.

The Lyrath is an amazing venue with amazing people working there. Everything about it is five star but, unlike some five star hotels that are uptight, The Lyrath has a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere. It has been two months since we had our reception there and still all of our friends and family talk about how amazing it was. All of our guest were looked after to the highest of standards and the food and service was exceptional.
I dealt with Sylwia at first as our wedding coordinator but Gill took over as Sylwia went out on maternity leave. Sylwia was so well organised and on top of things that the change over to Gill was seamless. Gill was also amazing to work with and was so efficient and quick to respond to emails and calls.
We did not go with one of the packages available, instead we created our own special day with a small dinner in the old manor house and then a big BBQ at 7 that evening for all of our friends and extended family in the ballroom. Only for the help of Sywia and Gill in the organisation of all the different aspects and the amazing staff and managers on the day, the whole wedding reception went off without a problem.
We really cannot fault the venue and staff and we cannot wait to return for our anniversary.

There is nothing we can fault. The service on the day was excellent. Everything was on time and we had a very relaxed day knowing that everything was being taken care of. Also during our drinks reception we missed out on cupcakes and the staff kindly brought us out our own plate of desserts.

from beginning to end this was simply the best experience. the team were exceptional. nothing is too much. I arranged the wedding from half way around the world but that did not impact on the service I received. It was perfect.

Iona and the folks at Lyrath couldn't have done enough for us they were so professional and warm, professional and gave us the best day, nothing was too much. Thanks guys!

In the lead up to the day Iona was a great a help the planning was painless one detailed meeting following by two short ones she left nothing to chance.

We and all our guest had an incredible day that will live long in the memory and all thanks to the exceptional staff in the Lyrath.

Cannot recommend them highly enough.

We had our wedding at the Lyrath in January 2016. We cannot say enough positives things about our experience there, from the initial booking to the day itself.
It is a big venue, with the ability to accommodate large numbers, but it feels like they really care about each wedding at a personal level.
Communication with Iona was always so easy, which was very important to us as we were planning our wedding from abroad.
The wine cellar was perfect for a post-rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Many of our guests stayed for the wedding night, and they all commented on how helpful and friendly staff were....this was very important to us.
We would highly recommend the Lyrath for anyone planning their wedding. You won't regret it!

Lyrath Estate Hotel was fantastic as our wedding venue and Iona, our event coordinator was a joy to work with. All of our requests were accommodated, nothing was a problem and we had a fabulous day from start to finish. Even the weather behaved itself and we got some beautiful photos taken by the lake. Our preference was for a small wedding, 65 guests for a Spiritual Ceremony and Reception in the three beautiful Manor House rooms and reception area, with a similar number arriving later for the evening reception. The food and drink was fantastic, as was the service. As we took the three bedrooms upstairs in the Manor House, we basically had the entire beautiful old house to ourselves for the day. If you are planning a small wedding, we cannot recommend the Lyrath Estate Hotel highly enough. Make it extra special with a Black Tie dress code. Many of our guests declared that it was the best wedding that they had ever attended.

Lyrath was a great venue for our wedding. The standard of the food was excellent and on the day staff went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect.

When dealing with Iona and the team in the months leading up to the wedding day, we never felt like just another wedding, we were always made feel special. They also made us feel relaxed because of their professionalism, they knew what they were doing and on the day it showed. Everything went off without a hitch and we were free to just enjoy it all stress free.

Excellent service. Staff were always on hand to deal with queries and always came back to us promptly. Would highly recommend.Special thanks to Alan and Iona for all their help.

All of the staff we dealt with were great. In particular, the Sylwia and Darragh from the Events team! Thank you for everything!

It was great all around, the hotel couldn't do enough for us. The food was fab, the venue was perfect as we had a small wedding and the rooms were lovely. We had a wonderful day.

To begin with Lyrath Estate is a beautiful venue. The function rooms are decorated to the highest standard Gil (the wedding co-ordinator ) will organise to have any extra touches you want for your day. The staff are most professional and helpful during the planing and on the day itself .The food was delicious and plentiful the wine flowed ! Our guests had a great day some planing on using Lyrath for their own wedding . The hotel is fabulous our guests used the pool and the spa , as did I bliss for the day after ! My mother and the mother-in-law are both delighted with the reviews from the relations ! All and all the best day to the start of our life together I could have imagined . Thanks to all in Lyrath

Truely amazing venue- worth paying that little extra for. Everything ran smoothly on the day and loads of guests commented on how lovely all the staff were at all times over the weekend. Lyrath took all requests in their stride and created a truely amazing day for us and all our guests.

Would highly recommend this hotel as all we and our guests could say all day was truly amazing. The whole day the staff looked after every detail perfectly and with upmost professionalism.

Overall a superb venue for a wedding. Everything was taken care of and handled very well on the day which was very important for us. The planning in the months coming up to the wedding were also made very simple for us even though we are living in Australia. The Lyrath staff were happy to do Skype sessions and take our direction for the big day.

The Lyrath Estate Hotel makes a beautiful setting for a wedding venue with its beautiful gardens and lake and the traditional Old House and spacious banqueting suite. The wedding team have excellent attention to detail and made the planning process easy and very enjoyable. The food was absolutely fabulous and the banqueting team provided such a warm and professional service to all our guests. Our reception was absolutely flawless and beyond our expectations all thanks to the wonderful team at the Lyrath.

Gill, the wedding coordinator, was excellent to deal with, as was Alan the banqueting manager. Loved the old house for the drinks reception and the meal was great.

Our wedding was a great success and the Lyrath staff did everything they could to accommodate us. There were a few hiccups which were sorted without fuss and we didn't even know about it. Food and service was excellent. The suite was deadly. We had our drinks reception outside as the weather was fab and it was perfect. I'd definitely recommend.
