Where do we start... The Kenmare Bay Hotel was everything and more we could have asked for on our special Day. From the moment we viewed it back in February 2023, we knew it would be a good one. Alan and his team made the build-up to our Wedding so easy, nothing too big or too small was an issue. Alan was continually in touch with us over the past year or so and guided us every step of the way. The day of the wedding itself- it ran so smoothly and when we arrived at the hotel reception we were greeted by Alan and Sile and a glass of bubbles. From there on everything was such a pleasure. All of our family and friends have complimented the hotel from its customer service, and décor to the amazing meal that we received from the chefs in the kitchen. Everything was top-class. Alan is such a professional at what he does and is a great man for a laugh and a bit of craic along the way. We enjoyed our time with him. The kids club service that was an option in the hotel was also excellent, both our children and our nephews enjoyed two hours of kids' entertainment, while parents got to enjoy their meals. Knowing that they were being cared for, as well as entertained was very reassuring for us. Everything from start to finish during the weekend of our wedding was very special to us. It was an amazing weekend, and we have to credit the Kenmare Hotel for being a very special part of this weekend. We will for sure be back at the hotel and hope to spend many more weekends there in the future. Thanks again to Alan, Sheila, and all of the team at the KBH. Damien & Danielle Browne

What can I say from the moment we met Alan & the staff everything just fell into place. Nothing was a problem and they were on hand to help us organise and plan our very special day. From the chauffeur picking me up and transporting me to the church and then as newlyweds to the Venue it was top class. The staff were second to none and did everything for us. The food was outstanding everyone enjoyed it and even to date are still talking about it. Alan & his team at Kenmare Bay are outstanding and deserve all the recognition for a smashing venue. I look forward to returning every year to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you from Mr& Mrs Walsh

Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and 100 times more. We had a difficult year with illness earlier on and, during that time, we didn’t even know if we could go ahead with the wedding due to treatment dates, etc. However, after contacting Alan at the Kenmare Bay Hotel, he did everything possible to ensure that if the wedding went ahead, it would be everything we wanted. Not only did it turn out to be exactly that, but it also exceeded our expectations and became one of those perfect days. Alan and his team are the best in the business. The attention to detail for the ceremony, the room setup for the reception, the food on the day, the excellent coordination between Alan and our other suppliers—the photographer, our cake maker, etc.—and the absolute professionalism and warmth displayed by the entire team were second to none. We cannot recommend the Kenmare Bay Hotel highly enough and would give it five stars. So, if you are planning a wedding, give Alan at the Kenmare Bay Hotel a call, and you can be assured that your wedding will be in the safest of hands. We cannot wait to go back and visit the hotel next year for our first anniversary. Veronica and Eugene

We had the joy of celebrating our wedding at the beautiful Kenmare Bay Hotel. From the very first meeting with Alan, he made us feel so relaxed. Alan and his team are professional and honestly couldn’t do enough. We had a civil ceremony, and the way everything was arranged by the staff was simply beautiful. The food is delicious, with a great selection to suit everyone. The rooms are cosy and exceptionally clean. My two kids love the Bay Hotel and always ask to go back (which we’ve done a few times since!). The staff are truly outstanding and very friendly—nothing is too much trouble. This hotel is a must for anyone planning their wedding; you will not be disappointed.

We absolutely cannot recommend The Kenmare Bay Hotel highly enough. They pulled out all the stops from start to finish. From the initial planning right through to the big day itself, they made it one to remember and so special. We received such fabulous service, and the meal was incredible. The hotel is an absolute credit to Alan and his highly capable team. All our guests have been complimenting the venue ever since. We are so pleased with how smoothly our big day went. Thanks again, Rachel and Eoin.

Amazing from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. It’s in a great location, so close to the town. All the staff were brilliant and incredibly helpful. They were fantastic with children, and the kids' club during the wedding was a huge help, especially for the parents, who got a chance to relax and enjoy their meal. A big shout-out to Alan, the wedding coordinator—he went above and beyond to make our day so special. I even forgot my bouquet after the wedding, and Alan kindly posted it up to me in Dublin. I would highly recommend Kenmare Bay Hotel for weddings and any special events. Even for a weekend away, they have everything you could need.

We have only good things to say about the Kenmare Bay Hotel and their staff, particularly Alan. We had our original venue fall through less than 8 months before our wedding, and even on such a short time frame, Alan and his team were incredibly helpful, timely, and immediately put us at ease. From our first meeting, I and my husband knew we had made the right choice in Kenmare Bay Hotel, and are delighted with the professionalism, attention to detail, and overall care for us, our day, and our vision. They were always contactable and quick to reply, helpful in suggestions, and truly went above and beyond to do anything and everything to help us. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue and their staff, and we got the impression that they are experts in this field. Our family and friends have also had nothing but praise for the day, from the look of the venue, the accommodation, the food, the staff, and everything else.

Alan and all his staff went above and beyond for our wedding day on May 10th 2024. From the moment we first met with him we knew Kenmare Bay Hotel was the place for our wedding. Every member of staff was so kind and obliging and made all our guests feel so welcome. If anyone is considering getting married in the Kenmare Bay we would recommend it 100%

Our wedding day at Kenmare Bay Hotel was just perfect. Alan was on hand to help every step of the way and he is an absolute legend! A lot of our guests commented on how friendly the hotel staff were. The ballroom is beautifully decorated and has a gorgeous view. The food was great and we really enjoyed our menu-tasting night as well. Everything was great from start to finish! Thanks!

We could not have been happier with our Wedding day at the Kenmare Bay Hotel. Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. Alan was an absolute dream to deal with in the lead-up to the day and his attention to detail helped us the day before along with Sile who made sure all our guests were happy and the team of amazing staff. The food and service were outstanding and the wine was flowing for the evening. They really put us at ease and no job was too big, they helped sort absolutely everything and we were so delighted. Thank you so so much Alan and all the team at Kenmare Bay Hotel, we would highly recommend Kenmare Bay to anyone planning their Wedding!

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.

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.

We celebrated our wedding in the Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort on the 11th of August. Having our wedding in the Kenmare Bay Hotel was the best decision we made! Everything from start to finish was exceptional! Alan was such a pleasure to deal with he really made the process so much easier! The food was incredible. All our guests are still talking about it! The hotel & staff could not have been anymore helpful to us. We really appreciate all the support they have given us over the past couple of years. We highly recommend the hotel & we look forward to returning ❤️ Maeve & Diarmuid.

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.

To Alan and all the amazing staff at the Kenmare Bay Hotel. We can't thank you all enough for what became the most perfect weekend. You truly went above and beyond for us and our guests. From the get go, Alan was extremely accommodating and made the wedding planning very easy for us. Every guest that we spoke to after the wedding couldn't have spoke more highly about the food we received on our big day, it really was exceptional. We will be looking forward to staying with ye for our first year anniversary. Thanks so much for everything, Love Kellie & David

We had our wedding at Kenmare Bay Hotel on the 20th May 2023. It was a magical day from start to finish. Alan was so amazing to deal with from beginning to the end, nothing was an issue. I also dealt with Hanneke who was also outstanding. The staff are amazing. Food was brilliant, everybody had the best day. I would happily recommend this hotel for anyone's big day. It was a very special day. Thank you to all involved, Lynn

We had our special day in the Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort on Friday May 19th. We couldn't have asked for more from the hotel. It really was the most magical day. Throughout the planning stage, Alan and the team were always there to answer any questions we had and just made it all easy. On the day, everything ran so smoothly. The food exceeded all our expectations. Service was exceptional. Breakfast the next morning was also amazing. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel as a wedding venue.

We were delighted that we had our wedding at Kenmare Bay Hotel, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and all our guests said the same. 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.
