Myself and my partner got married in November. We werent even sure if the wedding was going to go ahead as our three month old baby needed emergency surgery. Mary was amazing to deal with and totally understanding. He got out of hospital the day before the wedding and Mary and Aga couldnt do enough for us. Nothing was too big or too small and we asked for an extra room for the baby to stay with a nurse and it was absolutely no problem. The staff were so polite and the food was perfect. Everyone still talks about how amazing EVERYTHING was!

From start to finish Sinead, Aga and all the staff at the Newpark were amazing. We got engaged in the Newpark so they really were part of all of our wedding plans. Nothing was too much for Sinead. Aga & Sinead on the day we're fantastic. I wish I could do it all again. If you are looking for the most magical stress free day book the Newpark. Food, service, staff everything was 10/10. Every guest we had was completing the hotel.

We got married in Newpark last year and we could not have asked for a better day. Sinead, Aga and all the team went above and beyond and made our day extra special. We spent 3 nights in the hotel and from the moment we arrived to check out nothing was an issue, not only for us but for our guests also. We would highly recommend the Newpark hotel if you want a stress free wedding

We got married in the Newpark hotel in May. The day was excellent from start to finish. The weddings manager Sinead is an absolute dream to work with, and any future brides dream weddings manager as she is always free to answer any questions and willing to assist with any changes or queries we had. She is highly organised and an excellent representative employee for the hotel. Our guests are still coming to us with how good the food and over all service was on the day. A shoutout also to Aga who was excellent on the day keeping us informed of the flow of the day and ensuring the service was top notch. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone considering the Newpark for their wedding to go ahead and book it. Thanks again, Lydia & Stephen Haberlin

We can not put into words how fantastic everyone in Newpark were for our wedding. The service is top quality, food fantastic and we also had a lot of family stay in the hotel for a number of nights who loved it, we also had a large number of children between the ages of 2 to 16 and there was lots of entertainment for them also and of course the kids club.
Particular mention for Sinead who was really great to work with and Aga who made the day run smoothly and stress free for us.
Cant recommend highly enough.

From the moment we met with Sineád, we knew that the Newpark hotel was the place for our wedding and it did not disappoint!
Sineád and her team are very friendly and approachable, there was nothing too big or small of a task for them. They answered any questions we had and gave us numerous recommendations for different vendors when needed. They took so much stress out of planning our wedding, it felt a breeze to organise as I felt they had such a big chunk of the day highly planned for me.
On the day of our wedding Newpark was elegantly set up and both the food and the staff were outstanding, so much so that people were complementing both for weeks to come after the wedding.
If you are looking for a place for your wedding in Kilkenny, I highly recommend Newpark hotel. It is a decision that you won't regret. They will make your day the most wonderful and memorable that it can be, you will not be disappointed.

We had the most magical wedding day on 25th August 2023 and thankfully everything went off without a hitch thanks to Sinead, the wedding coordinator and the Newpark team.
Dimitri was amazing on the day, he couldn't have been more helpful and constantly made sure we had everything we needed. All of our guests were very complimentary regarding their meal and the service. Everyone was amazed with the portion sizes - no one was left hungry, that's for sure and the ballroom revamp was absolutely beautiful!
We were so pleased we stuck with Newpark for day 2, the later start gave everyone a chance to regroup, the bbq spread was delicious and the one man band you found was absolutely brilliant. Our guests are still raving about the weekend and we couldn't be more pleased with how it all went. We were thinking afterwards and couldn't fault Newpark or the service at all and if we could do it all again we wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I got married in the Newpark Hotel on the 11th August 2023. Having worked in the Newpark Hotel for a couple of years I knew what to expect when getting married here, however, the service provided from beginning to end was exceptional. I cannot thank the staff enough for making the process so straightforward. Sin?ad, the wedding team, and the hotel management were so understanding when we got news that a family member was unwell, they were so kind and understanding when we had to think about certain modifications to be made because of this. Aga had a firm handle on everything that went on during the day, it ran so smoothly and she was able to handle any queries that cropped up throughout the afternoon. The honeymoon suite with the jacuzzi, along with a fantastic breakfast in bed the next day topped it all off. We received so many compliments on the food and service. The Newpark Hotel really is the best in the business.

We had our wedding here last Saturday. We cannot recommend this hotel enough for a wedding, night away, couples, spa day, family break. it is THE BEST hotel we have ever stayed in. from the very first day we visited the newpark as a potential wedding venue we were blown away. the staff have been outstanding each and every time we have set foot inside the hotel. Sinead, who was our main contact in relation to the wedding was always very quick to answer any questions we had and we always felt well taken care of. Aga was the main woman on the day of our wedding and without her it would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Dimitri was also amazing, i couldnt believe it when he approached me at 3am still offering to do anything he could for us, i was amazed. Cian was our main server at the top table he went above and beyond for us, especially when i realised that i forgot my speech, he printed it off for me. Stephen was our main link at our day 2, he was under pressure as double our original numbers turned up but he pulled it off and kept calm at all times. each and everyone of the servers on the day of the wedding and day two deserve a special mention as they were all outstanding, our guests kept commenting about how professional they staff were and how well trained they were. thank you Aoife, Ada, Bobby, Chloe, Roisin, Grace, Lucy, Renata, Romy, Enya, Emma W, Meghan, Miriam, Yvonne, Jai, Jack and Sara.

We had our wedding there in August 2023. Working with Sin?ad in the lead up was stress free and super enjoyable. She is great to deal with and nothing was too much for her to deal with. ?That's no problem.? Was her most used phrase.
The meal, the setup, the ballroom, the drinks reception, dealing with our outside vendors ?. All amazing. Guests raved about the food and the drinks reception was generous. Guests were happy and well fed.
Aga was an absolute star during the meal and throughout the day. She made us feel so relaxed and was super organised which we loved.
The hotel honestly couldn't do enough for us and we are so happy we choose them for our reception.
We also decided to have our day 2 there with the bbq. Relaxed and picture perfect. We had a great day.
100% would recommend the Newpark for anyone getting married.

We could not recommend the Newpark hotel enough. We had our wedding there on 30th June this year. We are so thrilled with how everything went with the venue. Many of our friends and family have said it's the best service they have ever experienced at a wedding. The food fantastic and the staff were excellent. Our guests were thrilled with the quality of their bedrooms - as were we! Sinead was so helpful during the whole wedding planning process and everything felt effortless on the day. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a wedding or a stay.

AMAZING! We can never thank every single person at Newpark Hotel Kilkenny enough for all they did before and most of all during our day. Their attention to detail in the planning made the day run so smoothly and effortlessly and every single staff member made everybody feel so special! Everybody raved about the food and service and most people genuinely said it was the best wedding they were ever at and that was mostly down to the amazing Venue and Staff at the Newpark .
In the lead up to the wedding sinead and anybody I spoke to reassured me not to worry about a single thing.. I wish I listened to them because they were right!! An absolute dream team to work with and enjoy our special day with!
We cannot ever thank ye enough, but thank you ??

Myself and my Husband got married at the Newpark Hotel Kilkenny on 04 June 2023. From the first day we went to view the hotel we were just blown away with how beautifully the ballroom and gardens were. We were also so impressed with the wedding coordinator Sinead. She was so helpful, gave so much information and laid out all of the possible options we could have on the day. The Newpark was the only hotel we viewed for our wedding day because we were just so impressed from the outset. Throughout the planning of the wedding Sinead was brilliant at getting back to all questions and requests. No matter our changes and requests the Newpark was so flexible. On the day Sinead and Agha were amazing. I was relaxed and happy the entire day as they just put me at ease that everything was being looked after. I had organised a secret birthday cake to be brought out after dinner with party hats too and it went brilliantly. We had the most amazing day and all of our guests were also so impressed and everyone raved about the food. I would absolutely recommend the Newpark Hotel for your wedding day.

Newpark was our favourite family hotel and we celebrated many important occasions here so it made sense to have our wedding here. The wedding was a very small intimate wedding. Sinead was always available to discuss the details and gave me recommendations for local suppliers. The wait and bar staff were very attentive. Newpark made having a wedding in pandemic conditions easy going. We had a meeting with Sinead the next day to discuss how everything went, which everything went fantastic. We stayed 3 days in total and had a great time every day.
The only reason I am marking a 4/5 is for an item that went missing when collecting our wedding bits to leave the hotel. During our ceremony we had a lot of sentimental things such as a sand ceremony and letters to each other. Our letters we wrote to each other were put into a sealed box with bottle of Jack Daniels, which we planned to open on our 1st anniversary. When collecting the wedding bits the letters were missing which was disappointing. The staff at the time said that someone would contact us about this but they never did. I followed up with an email but no contact about it. I completely understand the two letters may have been mislaid, there's no monterary value and possibly nothing that can be done, however, we would have appreciated some follow up about it. So it is the lack of follow up after the wedding that was disappointing.

The Newpark Hotel have mastered the art of running a perfect wedding. All members of the planning team and the management on the day were exceptional and provided a service second to none. In fact all members of wait staff and bar staff played their roles superbly and we were catered for at every turn. The details of our day were customised to our requests and on the day those details were executed flawlessly. The quality of the food was excellent and was the element of the day most people remarked on. Service was quick and efficient and contributed to an excellent overall flow on the day. The table settings, room decor and seating layout was fabulous and really elevated our photos. Out wedding day was the best day ever and I wish I could do it all again... and if I could, I'd do it in The Newpark Hotel again.

They gave us great value on everything especially when you compare them to other places that offer the same.

We cannot say enough about the Newpark Hotel, Kilkenny and the staff which made our wedding day run like a oiled machine not to mention the beautiful venue and decorations. The feedback we have received back from our guests is all so positive and one guest even commented that her brother owns a 5 star hotel but that the Newpark food and service was far superior! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ENOUGH. Everything from the staff, food, venue and value for money was fantastic. A special mention and thanks to Sinead our Wedding Co-ordinator and to Nicky who ran the ballroom the night of our wedding - if you want people in the know with experience and who are so professional and put you at ease then these are the people to deal with. Nothing was a problem or too much effort, before, during or after the wedding. We are so delighted we picked this venue. Plenty of food, parking, rooms and ballroom space for guests. We had approx. 240 people attend on the day and there was plenty of room and everyone from young to old were catered for. Even the children had a 2 hour fully supervised area with games and entertainment while their parents could enjoy dinner and socialise. If you are considering the Newpark I pomise you will not be disappointed - we have high standards and these were most definitely exceeded. Thank you to all the staff at the Newpark for making our day and our guests day so special and memorable!

Newpark Hotel was the only wedding venue we looked at, as we knew how well they catered for all guests and how much we enjoyed weddings there in the past. We didn't want to go anywhere else!
Sin?ad, our wedding co-ordinator, was great to deal with; professional, personable, quick to respond to emails, and no task or query was ever too much. She made the planning and decision-making very easy and gave great advice. We knew we were in safe hands.
On the day, the hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas, the staff were very friendly, attentive and accomodating, and the delicious food was a highlight of many people's day.
Thanks to Nicky on the day too, who looked after the bridal party so well and even managed to settle some nerves at the top table!
I can't speak highly enough of this venue and the staff. Thanks to all.

Wedding in Newpark was organized by event manager Sin?ad Fortune she was very efficient and was always accommodating, nothing was ever a problem or an issue that she was unable to solve.,
We had the utmost confidence in our choice and the service was outstanding, the staff all seem to be happy and like a family wanting the same thing for you the newly weds to have the best day ever,
The food was the talk of our quests, the quality the quantity, the top table was served with with music and performance by waiters & waitresses, I thought I was on a cruise, the standard was exceptional.
The room was perfection I cried when I saw it before dinner, Nicki the manager on that weekend had every reason to be proud, he does a good job and runs a great team catering to 200 quests.
That's only the reception the rooms top class everyone loved their bedrooms and how comfy the beds were, the breakfast staff so friendly and dealt with a large crowd day after the wedding.
We stayed on until Tuesday not wanting it to end.

Newpark hotel was an amazing place to have our wedding, from the first meeting with our wedding planner to the day itself everyone was so professional and friendly. We were made to feel so special not only for the day of the wedding but the entire weekend we spent there. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the wonderful staff that work there. Everything went off without a hitch!

I cannot recommend the Newpark Hotel high enough. The staff are amazing and pay attention to every little detail. Everything was carried out by all perfectly. The service was the absolute best and the food was to the absolute highest standard. All our guests were completely blown away. The Newpark takes away all that talk about bridal stress, they have everything and more to make your day a dream. The day they created for us was an absolute dream come true. Management, staff, service, food and atmosphere was impeccable. It is like this every time we visit the Newpark. Thank you all for making our dreams a reality

We had an amazing Wedding Day at The Newpark. Sinead, Niall and their team were fantastic to deal with and just gently took control on the day for us making sure all was ok but not over the top either. All our guests commented on the fantastic food and service. We had our second day celebrations there also and the open farm was a big hit with the smaller guests. Cannot recommend the team and experience at Newpark enough.

I would highly recommend the Newpark Hotel. Their level of service from the events team, to the receptionists, to the bar staff and waiting staff was outstanding. What I loved was that this service wasn't just to us as the bridal couple but that all our guests commented on the service too. The food was gorgeous and they were able to provide plenty of options for coeliacs that tasted delicious too. It rained on our day but the hotel look so beautiful that it didn't take away from the day at all. If I had to choose all over again I would pick them time and time again.

The Newpark Hotel for a wedding-in 4 words- out of this world!!! I could not praise them enough in every aspect of our wedding day. On the run up to our wedding day, the ladies at the office contacted us weekly and guided us on the next steps. They ensured we had everything organised ahead of time and were such a pleasure to deal with.
We had a lot of different elements happening at our wedding, such as the band playing before the meal and the Newpark were more than happy to accommodate our wishes.
The servers always had a smile on their faces and very polite. The manager at our wedding could not do enough for us. He was always by our side without being 'intrusive' and made sure everything ran smoothly.
The quality of food was excellent- tasty, pleasing to the high and the chef accommodated to all dietary requirements.
All in all, the Newpark Hotel is an outstanding hotel. They went above and beyond our expectations and most importantly they left us wanting nothing.
We are so pleased we went with the Newpark Hotel and have no doubts they will continue to deliver the dream day to wedding couples in the future.

The new park was fantastic. Food was gorgeous atmosphere was amazing and the ball room and bar are both comfortable which is what guests want at a wedding. Mark is an amazing manager, the new park do not realise how brilliant this man is. No matter who we spoke too my husband would only listen to me if I said mark said something. From day one he totally made me feel at ease and if there ever was any issue there was never a hesitation to meet us and clarify. I got mark any time I needed him on phone. I had extra requests as in table plans and different favours at different tables and this was never any problem anything I asked was done and done perfectly. Nothing is a problem to this hotel. Staff are friendly and courteous at all times. We called into hotel only last week nearly a year after we got married and mark was over to us chatting about our honey moon. Seriously nice man I can't praise him enough. Also ger alley is brilliant too making us feel important at all times and made me feel like our wedding was most important to him too and not just to us. He looked after us too both before and after the wedding and als polite and just very friendly. Niall the night manager was very nice too and good crack. I really can't say a bad word about this hotel our wedding day was amazing and that's a huge thanks to the management and staff of the new park hotel.

We could not rate Newpark Hotel highly enough having held our wedding there last month. From the day we started dealing with Newpark, we were treated in the most professional and friendly manner. Nothing was too much trouble and the suggestions and tips given to us were fantastic. The day of the wedding has been described to us by many of our guests as "perfection", from the food (which was out of this world) to the service to the hotel decor itself. We would highly recommend the Newpark Hotel to any future brides considering this venue. Yvonne (wedding co-ordinator), Mark, Ger and Niall were all an absolute pleasure to deal with and took any stress out of the day. We had the most memorable, perfect and amazing day and can not thank the Newpark enough as it was all down to their hard work, attention to detail and top class service.

When we set out to plan our wedding I had very definite ideas about what I wanted, when I spoke to Yvonne I was sold, straight away she totally got what we wanted!we were celebrating our wedding in two parts, we were having 35 guests for dinner in Newark and a party the following weekend in a dublin venue! We wanted to host our guests in a beautiful venue, in intimate smaller space because of numbers. We didn't want to be over formal, we wanted a personal high quality service, and food that people would enjoy!!! We wanted the best with small numbers we really wanted it to be extra special...... So we booked the Parksuite in the Newark for a banquet table. Every detail I wanted, the Newark team delivered and even added considerations that I hadn't even thought of!!! Every staff member we met from porter to general manager was amazing!! The courtesy 's and hospitality of this team can not be understated!!!!! I can't tell you enough about how good they all were..... Little things like the wedding coordinator Yvonne introducing you to the duty manager niall that you would be meeting the wedding day!! Being greeted by name by the Gm every time you visit!! All my guests new their waitresses by name and everyone couldn't say enough good things about how lovely everyone was!!! Each of my guests have sinced returned to the Newark and have said they got the same service on the second visit!!! I have never stayed in a hotel that gives you such exemplary service!!! We were not spending giant amounts of money with this venue but the level of service and the attention to detail we might as well have been booking out the entire place!!!!Can't recommend them enough.....super venue, good. Service, team and accommodation!!!!!! As I mentioned at beginning of review, we were having wedding celebration in two parts....the only pitfall of booking the new park is dat their incredible service quality and value really showed up our second venue( which was very average) and highlighted what great hotels and teams the Newark has!!!!

Overall all we were delighted with the Newpark; food, service, atmosphere were all excellent and perfect on the day. When we initially booked we were dealing with a very friendly and competent lady who couldn't have been more helpful but then another lady (the weddings co-ordinator!) took over our booking who was anything but helpful and made things unnecessarily stressful. Her reputation preceded her so we knew to ignore her and that everything would be perfect on the day; which it was. All other staff were excellent.

This action cannot be undone
From the wedding showcase nearly two years before the wedding to the BBQ on day two we had the most amazing experience of our lives.
The Newpark made everything so easy and were so helpful in the planning and getting us through both days.
The staff were fantastic, they made the day feel effortless and took all the stress away.
Mary made us feel at ease when planning it all there was no request to complicated and nothing she couldn't answer.
Aga went above and beyond all day to look after our every need. They couldn't do enough for us. We were truly stunned by the level of service was amazing.
Even the bar staff need a shout out as they put up with all night, They were good craic and its a credit to them.
The food was absolutely delicious, with all the guests complimenting it. The chefs catered for all guests and their dietary needs.
The ballroom in particular was stunning and made the day feel more special. The private garden off the ballroom was great to be able to get out for some air after to much dancing but not be away from the guests.
The second day of our wedding was just as incredible as the first from getting breakfast in bed to chilling in the pool all day till it was time for BBQ.
The staff once again made everything so easy and care free for us we got to enjoy it as much as the guests. The area for the BBQ was incredible we were able to get the roof opened to enjoy the good weather and the atmosphere was great. A great place to unwind after the day before and to catch up with friends and family.
The BBQ was a standout, the variety and quality was incredible. (Maybe even better that the wedding meal) I'm sure the hotel won't mind me saying that.
The guests also loved the BBQ and they all told us how much they enjoyed it.
The two days went so fast but the memories will last.
Thank you Newpark for making our wedding so special.
We couldn't be happier how it all turned out. Its a true credit to the Newpark and all the effort they put in to making our day.
We wholeheartedly recommend the hotel for your wedding and "day two". It was truly top class experience.
