Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

I honestly hope that my review will do this Hotel justice. We had our Full Wedding Day, Ceremony and Dinner Reception at the Muckross Park Hotel on Friday 17th March 2023. From the minute we arrived the day before our wedding every single detail was looked after. The Hotel staff were utterly exceptional, helping us get organized and ready for our big day. The Thursday night we stayed in two of the self catering apartaments, one for the bride with her bridesmaids and one for the groom with his groomsmen. The apartment took us by surprise, they were absolutely immaculate, very spacious and the perfect place to wake up on your wedding morning. We had the Infinity Package for our wedding so the whole wedding journey was such a breeze for us, this package supplied us our Photographer, Makeup and Hair, Band and Dj, Flowers and All Decorations. The wedding morning itself was extremely relaxed. Joanne henderson (Hairdresser) and Sandra Flynn (makeup artist) were absolutely unbelievable. They worked together like a dream, everything flowed so naturally and easy making the whole morning such a beautiful memory. The photographer who was also supplied by the Hotel, Micheal O’ Sullivan was just simply terrific. He made all the pictures feel so easy and natural. Micheal has such a great personality making all the photos so fun to do. We had our Wedding Ceremony in the Atrium, and there isn’t a good enough word to describe the beauty of this particular room. It is just utterly breathtaking! The hotel staff had this space arranged and decorated to perfection. Our Dinner Reception was in the Abbey Suite. A stunning room with such a warm vibe, all the tables were set up so beautifully with excellent attention to detail, the candles all around the room set such a romantic mood. Our guests commented that the food was some of the best they had ever had at a wedding and we completely agree! The bar and wait staff were beyond attentive and professional, the whole dinner service ran so smoothly and was extremely enjoyable. The band Arklight who was supplied by the hotel were out of this world. This is all our guests spoke about for days after our wedding. Finbarr and the rest of the band are super talented. We are extremely grateful to Muckross Park for getting them for us. The night would never of been the same without these lads. The wedding Coordinators Niall and Orla. We would like to give a special mention to Niall who has to be the calmest man I have ever met, absolutely nothing phases him. Niall is a total gentleman who assisted us throughout the whole lot of the wedding day - Niall is absolutely fantastic at his job! During the whole wedding planning journey and general build up to the big day we had Orla who was just brilliant from start to finish. Orla’s professionalism and excellent organisational skills made the preparation for our wedding day seamless. Orla was always quick to respond and bent over backwards to help us with any queries or worries - she’s such an asset to the hotel! We will be forever thankful to Orla for helping make our wedding an absolute dream. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Muckross Park Hotel for a wedding venue - It was truly exceptional.

Fantastic service & hotel could say enough so helpful and flexible

Hi Orla, We had a beautiful wedding, a love and fun filled few days in Mockrosspark Hotel. What a beautiful venue for our Christmas Wedding with the Christmas decorations and open fires. Thank you so much for all the organising and step by step guidance and over seeing the day and what was needed for day two also. The menu with Vegan food was delicious, there was something for everyone. We can’t speak highly enough of the staff, who were professional and polite putting everyone at ease. A special shout out for yourself, Niall, and Joanne on the top table. The Wedding was a huge hit with all our family and friends. We danced all night with the Bentley boys rocking the night away. Day 2 , was a relaxed Buffet with live music in the bar. My daughter spoke with Staff and the Musicians and before we knew it, we were dancing the Seige of Ennis. Thank you again for helping me stay calm during the planning. We will recommend you highly. We couldn’t be more pleased with how our wedding went. All the best to you Orla and the wonderful kind staff at Muckross Park Hotel. Warmest regards Jacqui Kearney & Ger O’Sullivan

We were so happy that we choose the Muckross Park hotel for our Wedding Reception in October. What a beautiful venue!! Orla & Niall were a dream & nothing was ever a problem or any trouble. They made the whole experience even better! The drinks reception & room (We had the Valentia suite) were set up so beautifully, the room was so elegant & more than we could have hoped for on the day. The food was amazing! Everyone loved it & are still talking about it. The service was fabulous! I would highly recommend the Muckross Park to host your wedding day. (If only we could do it all over again ????) Thank you to all the staff who helped make our wedding day simply perfect.

We could not rate Muckross Park Hotel highly enough, from the planning stages right through to our wedding day and weekend. The staff at Muckross are beyond amazing; professional, friendly, so helpful and so easy to work with - I actually miss talking with the wedding planner Orla; she is absolutely fantastic at her job but also just an all round lovely person! Our wedding was PERFECT, we honestly would not change a thing about it and wish we could do it all over again! Our guests were so impressed with the entire weekend and every single person there mentioned how wonderful the staff were. You will not regret choosing Muckross Park Hotel as your wedding venue, but you will regret not choosing it!!!

We are so happy that we chose the Muckross Park Hotel for our wedding. Orla and Niall made everything so easy and were always so friendly to deal with. The ceremony room, outside drinks reception and reception room were all set up beautifully and the decor provided by the hotel was fabulous, including fresh flowers for all the dinner tables. All of our guests commented on how good the food was and the wine was definitely flowing throughout the meal. We would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding if you want and amazing stress free day! Thanks so much to all the staff, especially Orla and Niall for giving us our dream wedding day!!

We had our wedding at the Muckross Park in September 2022 and we are absolutely thrilled with our choice of venue. From the day we booked the venue to the actual day itself, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond for any request that was made. Our guests absolutely adored the hotel. Food was delicious and we are still getting compliments to this day regarding the meal and how much the staff went above and beyond. The decor that they offered with their wedding packages was beautiful. The bridal suite was brilliant - from having enough space for 6 adults to get ready to still being romantic for the bride and groom. They even had our room decorated for us with rose petals and another bottle of Prosecco after the wedding which was a nice touch. All our guests were thrilled with their rooms and spoke about how lovely the rooms were. It is an absolute dream to have your wedding here. I can't thank the staff at Muckross enough, they really made our day. Nothing was too big or too small for them. Special shoutout to Orla, Niall and Oisin who were absolutely fantastic. Big plus, they were really flexible for any changes we made and everything just ran smoothly. If I could, I would relive that day over again and again at the Muckross

We cannot speak highly enough about Muckross Park Hotel and Spa. We are 100% delighted with our choice of Muckross Park Hotel and Spa for our wedding venue. We have been wowed each time we have been at the hotel by the friendliness and professionalism of all staff we were in contact with at our viewing, meal tasting and wedding. We have had so many compliments about the food and service on our wedding day.

Pleased beyond measure! Highly recommend!

We had our wedding reception in the Muckross Park Hotel on the 31st December 2021. If anybody is looking for a luxurious wedding venue, in a stunning location, with exceptional food and top class staff then look no further. We were blown away by the professionalism of everyone working in the hotel. The lead up to our wedding was challenging given changes to government guidelines and new restrictions but the Muckross Park went above and beyond their call of duty. The enthusiasm and kindness they showed us for our day with weddings back to back all week was incredible. If there were 10 stars we would give them. We are bursting with pride with the experience our guests received. If you have your wedding here, it will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thank you again to everyone, especially Orla, Niall and Caroline. It is a pleasure to work with people so excellent at what they do. Kate and Eóin Tallon

From the first time myself and Gordon stayed in the Muckross Park Hotel 3 years ago we fell in love, everything from the surroundings and spa to the food are exceptional, not to mention the staff who are the most amazing team of people you will ever meet! When we got engaged there was only ever one hotel that took our breath away! From the moment we met Bernie, the hotels wedding coordinator, we knew we were in the best possible hands! Bernie, Madina and the entire staff of Muckross Park Hotel made planning our wedding so easy and nothing was ever too much trouble! We were made feel so special on every visit to the hotel! Our wedding day itself was simply a dream, absolutely perfect! All of our guests were amazed by the beautiful surroundings of the Atrium, where we held our drinks reception, and decor of the Valencia Suite. Our guests were also blown away by the standard of food on the day, people are still commenting on it months later! Myself and Gordon have been back to stay at Muckross Park since the wedding, it is simply our favourite place. The staff yet again made us feel so welcome and special, it is the most amazing hotel! Thank you to Bernie, Madina & everyone at Muckross Park for making our wedding the most unforgettable day of our lives!

Thank you so much to Niall, Bernie, Carolina, Medina and all of the team at Muckross Park Hotel for looking after us and making sure our wedding was everything we dreamed of. We are so glad we chose them to look after our wedding day. Right from the beginning, we knew that we would be in good hands. Firstly, our first meeting with Bernie (the Wedding Sales Manager) was such a lovely experience and really helped us to visualise the type of wedding we could have at the hotel. Nothing was too big an ask and Bernie included very generous offerings to make the package that little bit "extra". She was excellent with her contact throughout all of our wedding planning months. Caroline in room reservations was so helpful for all of our bookings and queries and never minded if we needed to change details at any stage. Niall (the Banqueting Manager) was an absolute pleasure to work with and we cannot convey everything he did for us. Niall was our go-to for every detail of the planning, from the set up of the room to the entertainment, food and guest planning. He was so flexible to make sure we were able to get anything we needed, and the week leading up to the wedding he was so attentive to make sure we had everything sorted ahead of the day. We cannot thank Niall enough - professional to a 5 star standard but also such a great guy:) The night before and on the day itself, Medina was there to assist with all of the decor and table set up. With Niall & Medina looking after everything, we knew we could fully relax and not even worry about details for our venue on the day. The food was exquisite (the guests are still talking about it!) and the hotel were extremely generous with their portions and even seconds! Thank you so much to all the team. We were treated as if we were the only couple to have a wedding at the hotel and we were made to feel so special any time we called in, be it just a pop in, meal tasting, and especially for the wedding weekend itself. We would highly recommend this hotel as a venue for any wedding couple. It provides such a unique experience with the rustic setting and the highest quality for everything. Michelle & Barry

It is difficult to know where to begin in expressing how we feel about Muckross Park Hotel and its’ staff. We are not natives of Killarney but from the first moment that we set foot in Muckross Park, we felt at home and knew right then and there that it was going to be our wedding venue. Bernie very kindly met with us – unplanned, that first evening and that was the beginning of our very special journey with both Bernie and the hotel. Over the next year and a half, we made many trips to Muckross Park from Galway and each time, we were made feel so welcome and treated like royalty. We knew that we were in the most incredible hands and when we met with our wedding co-ordinator Madina, we felt as if we had won the lotto! She ensured that each and every detail of our wedding was organised with exceptional professionalism. While she is incredible at her job, she also makes you feel as if you have known her forever. She is extremely personable and not only are you in the hands of an amazing wedding co-ordinator, you also gain a very good friend who is there for you throughout the process. Each and every member of staff whom we encountered along the way made us feel as if we were V.I.P.’s. They carry out every aspect of their jobs with the highest of standards and always go above and beyond their duties. From the fabulous accommodation, to the impeccable service, to the most delicious food, we could not have asked for more, both in the lead up to and on our big day. Our wedding guests still talk about the beautiful hotel in the heart of Killarney. We felt as if we were living out a true life fairy-tale during our wedding weekend and the staff at Muckross Park played a massive role in that. We will be forever grateful and only wish that we could do it all over again! The staff are absolute experts at what they do and any couple who is lucky enough to have their wedding there, is truly blessed. It is an exceptionally special hotel and we will forever hold a special place in our hearts for both it and its’ wonderful staff.

We were thrilled with our wedding in The Muckross Park Hotel. From the first day we walked in to view the venue we were shown such professionalism and dedication from all staff. From that initial meeting we knew we could trust them with our special day. All our guests commented on how beautiful the hotel was and on the superb food. Throughout the planning process they were always available to help and answered all of our queries very promptly. Any request we had was listened to and acted upon. A fantastic hotel with very dedicated and friendly staff. In a picturesque setting.

Muckross Park Hotel was fantastic, our wedding day was just perfect, the hotel staff are extremely professional and helped us in any way they could, they went above and beyond for us. Both Bernie and Daniel were a pleasure to plan and organise with and certainly delivered on an amazing 5 star wedding experience! Thanks to everybody in Muckross for a fabulous wedding day and a lovely after wedding party on day two.

Outstanding, I'd recommend Muckross Park to any couple getting married. From the 1st time I went to view the venue all the way up to and including the wedding their professionalism was 100%. Bernie was our wedding planner she was so lovely and I felt she really understood what I wanted and needed. Niall, well what can I say you made everything so seamless for us a million thank yous! Madina I felt like you were the 4th bridesmaid you helped so much that weekend. The hotel is stunning the food was delicious. All of the staff in Muckross were fantastic. Our guests said the check in staff made them feel special and made a fuss out of them. I've had comments of praise for the hotel from everyone who attended. I'm so happy we picked Muckross park for our wedding. Thank you all again. Anne-Marie & Shane xx

I can't recommend the Muckross Park enough. Everything from our first viewing to our big day and beyond our expectations. Bernie, Niall and all the staff were amazing. Anything we could possibly need done was done to perfection. Nothing was any trouble and we had such a relaxing day as a result. We arrived the night before and got married in the hotel. The function rooms were just perfect. To all future brides and grooms, definitely have a viewing. The hotel has a new infinity package which if I was getting married again would definitely get this package. We had most of the suppliers included in this package on our big day, they were out of this world. Food was so good we are still hearing about how great the whole wedding was and we are now nearly 2 months on. Wish we could do it all again was such an brilliant experience working with Bernie and Niall. Honestly best team I could have worked with on the day.

We cannot recommend The Muckross Park Hotel enough. From the very day we stepped foot into the hotel on the day of their wedding fair we knew there was something special about this hotel. The staff are simply amazing, so genuinely caring, interested and helpful. Bernie, Niall and Caroline to name but a few couldn't have done more to help us on our special weekend never mind the day itself. We got married in April 2019 and since then our guests have done nothing but compliment us on the venue, from the unique atmosphere of the Atrium to the beautifully designed Valencia suite, the food which was exquisite and the excellent service throughout. Many of our guests had to travel and were blown away by the tastefully decorated rooms in the hotel and the apartments that are only a short walk from reception were perfect for groups of family and friends. There is nothing too big or too small for the staff and everyone made sure that all our needs were met. In the lead up to the wedding they dealt with all our queries and questions and catered for all our needs above and beyond our expectations. They really put us at ease and we were confident that our wedding was going to be the most amazing day, which it turned out to be. A huge thanks to everyone connected to the hotel for making it the most memorable, enjoyable and special day that we truly will never forget.

Fabulous venue, unreal food. Value for money, excellent location...extremely helpful staff. From Day 1, at our initial consultation to our wedding day. We were treated to every one of our wishes, we would recommend Muckross to anyone(we already have).

We had our wedding at the Muckross Park Hotel last Christmas (December 2018) and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need and did so in such a friendly and professional manner. The hotel itself was exquisite and looked absolutely spectacular on the day. The food both on the day and for the day after party was out of this world and our guests were extremely impressed. We had such a wonderful day and experience at the Muckross Park Hotel, I just wish I could do it all again. Thank you! Grace & Frank x

We had a very pleasant experience while planning our wedding in the Muckross Park hotel. Both Niall and Bernie were extremely helpful and professional throughout. The service on the day was brilliant and everybody really enjoyed the meal.

The staff of the muckross Park were fantastic. They were extremely helpful. If there was any problem Beirne was only a phone call away and was always there to help. On the the day the staff were amazing along with the venue. Food was incredible and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Niall Tagney was the manager on the day and he could not of been more helpful. With the lead up to the wedding he was so professional and really took good care of us. We had the best day ever and could not recommend the muckross Park team more. The reservations team and Caroline were always in contact making sure all our guests were looked after. It really was a fantastic venue!

I couldn’t recommend the Muckross Park Hotel highly enough. So professional and very easy to deal with. The day itself exceeded all our expectations. All our guests were so impressed by the level of service and the food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and all our requests were met. We also had our day 2 in major colgans bar in the hotel. Staff and management here were also exceptional. You are in safe hands if you book your wedding at the Muckross Park Hotel

We had our wedding reception in the Muckross Park Hotel just over a month ago and we cannot say enough about the hotel or recommend it more. To any couple considering the Muckross Park Hotel as the venue for your wedding, dont hesitate. First impressions have a lasting effect and when we met Bernadette, our wedding coordinator that first time she put us right at ease and talked us through everthing. She was there to guide us along the way and offered us every support. Whether it was email correspondence or calling out to the hotel, no query was too small and she really gave us her undivided attention each and every time. Caroline was amazing in reservations and dealt seamlessly with all our requests and Madina who was looking after us on the lead up to the big day and on the day itself seemed to go above and beyond in every task. Every couple wants their day to be the stuff of dreams and Madina certainly made that happen for us as did all the staff in the hotel. We took over for the weekend and we were made to feel right at home. This hotel will not disappoint, it is the perfect venue for the perfect day.

Everything was A1 couldn’t do enough for us

What a beautiful hotel, from the beginning in terms of wedding planning advice and cost saving advice you are in the most professional of hands with Bernie she cannot do enough for you. Our wedding co Ordinator Niall and hotel Manager Veepal were so precise to the highest of standards. The Abbey suite was magically beautifully decorated, all our guests were truly impressed, to this day they rave about how beautiful the food at our wedding was. The events team certainly outdid themselves, their effort, understanding and accommodating kindness made both me, Dara, and our four young children the most perfect, relaxed and intimate wedding day that we could have dreamed of. They take care of absolutely everything from the moment you arrive to when you leave. They are phenomenal. Our next day wedding party buffet went down a storm with our guests, Veepal went above and beyond with accommodating kindness to make this day the most perfect day in every way possible. Danny’s professional genuine care over the entire weekend for us and our children, one being a very challenging free-spirited toddler, not to mention my wedding and bridesmaid dress dilemma’s when we arrived was like having your very best friend personally looking after you. We would highly recommend this hotel to any couple planning a wedding in Killarney for there attention to detail, professionalism, precision and excellence, a truly beautiful hotel experience and their kindness and genuine care.

I couldn't recommend the Muckross park Hotel highly enough. From the minute we met with Bernadette to book our wedding we knew we had made the right decision. They couldn't do enough for us. The staff were always so friendly and always greeted us on a first name basis when visiting the hotel. We dealt with Veerpal for the finer details and were very happy with his attention to detail and professionalism throughout. The level of service on the day was to such a high standard and we could not have been happier with the food and service on the day. I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to any couple looking for a venue in Killarney. You will not be disappointed.

We were married in the Muckross Park Hotel (MPH) on May 19 of this year and there is literally nothing we could fault! The whole experience from start to finish was the best we could have hoped for. All the staff at the MPH are a credit to the hotel, there was no job too big or too small for them. From the porters, accommodation assistants, wait staff, wedding staff, and management - everyone went above and beyond for our weekend. We had our wedding ceremony there in the Abbey Suite, our drinks reception in the Atrium, and our wedding reception in the Valencia Suite. All three suites are beautiful and well appointed, and the layout ensures there's a good flow to the day and everyone stays together. Special thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator Madina. She really is top class and one of a kind. She gave us lots of ideas for our drinks reception which our guests were raving about afterwards, and most importantly she kept us calm and organised and made sure the day ran to schedule. We cannot thank the staff at the MPH enough for making our wedding weekend so special and so memorable.

Highly recommend this hotel!! They made planning a wedding from the other side of the world so easy.

Every little detail was done to the highest standard. Niall made the planning stress free and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for any more to be done for us and we are so grateful.

Couples can come under a lot of stress coming up to the wedding Our wedding co ordinator James couldn’t do enough for us and was very helpful even when I turned slight bridezilla Muckross strive to be the best and on the day they delivered I wish I could do it again Everyone is still talking about our wedding Any staff you meet are lovely from Caroline at reception dealing with our accommodation to breakfast and bar staff From initial booking right through to our special day I couldn’t fault it Highly recommend muckross for a wedding

Big, Big, Big thank you to James, Caroline, Bernie and the team in Muckross Park Hotel for ensuring that our wedding on the 18th of November was the best day ever! Our wedding was everything that we hoped for and more! We were so lucky to be the first wedding held in the function room which is just WOW! James (our wedding coordinator) has the unique ability to allow you to follow your wedding vision but also add excelling ideas, advise etc! It was like having our own Franc! He is so relaxed and facilitated every request we had, it really made the planning process so enjoyable! He was off the day prior to our wedding and even rang me to make sure everything was OK on arrival. He is just amazing. The food was exceptional, our guests are still taking about how it and how everyone in the hotel went above and beyond to welcome the Cork contingent. Big thank you to Caroline for all her help with the logistics/rooms etc. We would highly recommend Muckross Park Hotel as a wedding venue and day after after after party venue as we well as we hosted both days there. It exceeded all expectation. 5 stars are not enough! Thank you so much! PS: Not a usual choice for a wedding but the turkey and ham was a massive hit with our guests.

We had an absolutely flawless day at the Muckross Park. The Sun even shone in November in Kerry! Huge thanks to Veerpal and his team. From day 1 they showed nothing but the utmost respect and professionalism. No request was too big or too small. We booked the Abbey Suite for 112 guests and it was the perfect location. The food was delicious both on the tasting night and on the day and the bridal suite is one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. Wish we could have stayed there for the week! Looking forward to returning to Muckross Park soon! Thanks guys! P&M

From the moment we met with Niall in the Muckross Park Hotel we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. Everything we asked for was accommodated without fuss or hesitation. Niall and his staff went above and beyond for us and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My only fault was that the day passed by so quickly.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we knew this is where we wanted our wedding. We had our humanist ceremony in the Atrium followed by the reception upstairs in the Abbey Suite. We live abroad, but organising the wedding was so easy with the team who were always on hand to help and so flexible with all of our requests. We had an amazing day with plenty of complaints from the guests, particularly about the Atrium for the ceremony. Thank you so much to all of the team!
