It is the most amazing hotel from start to finish. As we were planning our 1st marriage, we hadn't a clue what to do or where to start, but we had Alan and all the Kenmare Bay hotel staff to help every step of the way. I can't thank Alan enough after all the emails and calls, even after hours. All my guests had an amazing time and want to return for our 1 year anniversary. The food was amazing, and the hotel was in a perfect location. From the rooms to the lodges, they were all perfect. The staff were amazing and all so helpful. Kids club was a brilliant touch, especially so all the parents could enjoy their dinner. I would highly recommend the Kenmare Bay. Can't wait to go back ...

From the minute myself and David met Alan in the Kenmare Bay Hotel to view it as a possible wedding option, we knew it would be the place for us. The Kenmare Bay Hotel is all you can ask for in a wedding venue, from the amazing staff, the beautiful location, the delicious food, and everything else in between. Nothing is too much of a problem for Alan and his team; everyone always does their job with a smile on their face. The food was amazing, and there weren't any complaints from any of our guests. The whole experience was made so easy from the beginning, and that can only be due to the team at Kenmare, especially Alan. Carlos, the chauffeur, managed to keep us cool on what was the hottest day of the year so far, and that was no easy feat between nerves and the sun beating down on us! Housekeeping was amazing, even giving us a phone charger the morning after the wedding when we couldn't find ours. The only downside I can give is that we can only get married there once - there were tears when we were checking out after the weekend. If anyone is ever thinking of choosing the Kenmare Bay as their wedding venue then book it straight away, you won't regret it.

Our wedding day was magical, with every detail surpassing our expectations, from the transportation to the final moments at the hotel. Our driver, Carlo, ensured the day began smoothly. Punctual and professional, he arrived at our house with a smile, making the journey to the church comfortable. After the ceremony, he took us to a local castle for photos, then stopped along the way to Kenmare in Ladies View for more photos and then to the hotel, making the entire experience effortless. At the hotel, we were warmly welcomed. Alan, our coordinator, was outstanding and organised every aspect of the event meticulously. From the moment we arrived at the final farewell, everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy the celebration without worry. The food at our wedding was extraordinary. Each dish was a masterpiece, impressing our guests with exceptional flavours and presentation. The culinary delights were a highlight, adding an unforgettable touch to our special day. The decor was breathtaking and captured the essence of our dream wedding. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the table settings, was beautifully executed, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere. In summary, our wedding day was a perfect blend of meticulous planning, exceptional service, and unforgettable moments. We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved, especially our driver Carlo, coordinator Alan, and each and every staff member in Kenmare Bay Hotel, for making our day so special. It was truly a day filled with love, laughter, and magical memories.

From start to finish, our wedding in Kenmare Bay was perfect! Alan was attentive and addressed any issue or concern that arose during the lead-up to the wedding. We are so grateful to him and his colleagues. All the staff we encountered were friendly and attentive, and the accommodation catered perfectly to our guests' needs. These were sometimes complex, with requests for interconnecting rooms and cots and changes to accommodation bookings, but nothing was an issue. All of our guests were complementary of the food . .The Kenmare Bay Hotel, to me, is a 5-star wedding venue. We had many kids at our wedding, and the kids club provided fantastic service during the night. Thanks again to all at The Kenmare Bay Hotel.

Alan, the wedding manager, and everyone at the Kenmare Bay Hotel were so helpful and looked after our every need and request. The atmosphere, venue, staff, and food were top-class! I would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue to others!

Thanks so much to Alan & all the team at the KBH. Everyone went above and beyond for us. From the moment I was picked up in the car that morning until we checked out two days later, we couldn't fault anything. Our driver /chef was amiable; he even remembered our breakfast orders from an informal chat in the car! The head waiter and all the waiting staff were also excellent, the food service went off without any issues, and we got no complaints about the food! Everyone complimented it. Finally, Alan was an all-rounder and ensured our day was fantastic. His MC'ing during the speeches and our table dash was excellent. He got the crowd going. Overall, we had a great day at the KBH and would recommend it to future couples looking for a wedding venue that goes above and beyond. Thanks again, Megan & Paul

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

From the day we spoke to Alan during covid, he couldn’t have been any nicer. Alan and his team helped to organise one of the best day of our lives. From the minute myself & Mick met him & them all face to face, they were only a phone call away and did absolutely everything to put me at ease, they left no stone unturned. On the day of the wedding, starting with the driver picking me up from the house and getting us to the venue, he was excellent and did everything to help us with flowers and transporting my stuff to Kenmare. What can I say about the the reception, wow the food was top class and the service second to none. Alan & the Kenmare Bay team are amazing and on behave of myself and Mick, we want to thank you all for everything you did to make our day fantastic, everything was timed to perfection. We highly recommend The Kenmare Bay for your wedding, it will be worth every minute.

Everything ran smoothly and it was very well organised, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't have been happier with the wedding package, it covered so much that there wasn't much left for us to organise which suited us perfectly. From including a lovely wedding car & driver, decorating the room beautifully for the ceremony to having little baskets of essentials in the bathrooms for guests, the hotel had thought of it all. It's in a beautiful location, with plenty of gorgeous places to take pictures. Ticked all our boxes. We look forward to coming back for our anniversary. Thank you. David and Amy

From the moment we met Alan & Sile in 2018 we were so excited to have our wedding reception at the Kenmare Bay Hotel. Alan talked us through what the day would be like and it was lovely to be able to visualize the running order of the event. Unfortunately, Covid hit and we took the decision to postpone the wedding twice. Sile was so supportive each time we were looking for a new date. As our wedding date in March 2023 was finally on the horizon, Alan was so helpful and again went through what our day would be like from start to finish. It was so lovely to be able to feel the excitement once more. I stayed in the beautiful Luxury Lodges with my bridesmaids, Mom and little girl on the night before the wedding. We got such a lovely warm welcome on our arrival and I got a peak of the function room. A number of guests stayed the night before and we had a wonderful sing-song at the piano in the bar. On the morning of the wedding, breakfast was delivered to us at the Lodges, so we could all get ready and eat in a relaxed atmosphere. When the ceremony in Kenmare Church was over, we were greeted at the hotel door by Tom in his fabulous tuxedo, who was there to usher us all in for the Drinks Reception. The wedding Reception was so fantastic, we were lucky to have 270 guests join us for what was such a wonderful day. It was seamless, the layout of the function room, the service - and the food was just sublime. From 2018 to 2023 it was such an absolute pleasure to deal with Alan, Sile, Hanneke in Reservations. There is a fantastic team at the hotel and we could feel how genuine they all were from the moment we met them. From the outset, all we wanted was a big party to celebrate our marriage, we got that, and so much more. Wish we could do it all again! Love, Edel and Mervin Clifford.

We had the most amazing wedding day. Having checked out other Hotels and premises, including having a Marquee in our local on the Island where we both live, we knew The Kenmare Bay Hotel was for us. From our first phone call with Alan in October 2021 to our wedding day in September, there was nothing too big or too small for him and his team. Every phone called answered, every email replied to, no matter how trivial. They were on hand with tips, local suppliers, timings etc. Their wedding package was amazing, it fitted every budget, every dietary requirement, nothing was impossible. All the decor in the ceremony room was done, right down to the floral spray for the candles, which was a lovely surprise when we went the day before our wedding to check things over, with bouquets in hand to make one. Those flowers filled my flower girl bouquets instead. Carlo, their driver of their car, who came to collect me (Alan said it would be the first time they needed to take a ferry to collect a bride), was amazing. He had myself, my son who was giving me away and my daughter who was my chief bridesmaid(we travelled together) all very relaxed, so much so I was doing my daily wordle on my way over. No nerves to show. The wedding itself was a truly wonderful occasion. Every detail exact, as it should be. The food was divine, and so said all our guests, the wine was flowing, the entire staff were out on their own, pure perfection, nothing was too much for any of them. Sile was on hand with safety pins when I had a mild dress malfunction. The rooms were perfect on the night, and all that excellent treatment was just the same the following they. They even had everything packed up, ready for us to take. Hand on my heart we can not sell the Kenmare Bay Hotel enough, our day was perfect, we had the most wonderful experience and delightful day in The Kenmare Bay Hotel. Thank you all
