We got married in Sheen Falls Lodge on Friday 14th December. Right from the start Clodagh listened to our every idea, worry or whim and was able to reassure and offer advice where needed, her experience and knowledge was so evident. On the day, she was always in the background and everywhere that was needed. We truly felt that she made our wedding experience so personal. It was so lovely being greeted by Clodagh as we arrived at the hotel as a married couple as she had shared every step of this journey with us. We'd also like to extend a special thank you to Ciaran - he was the first face we met when we started our venue search a year ago and every time we stopped into the hotel over the last year he was so welcoming and always stopped for a chat. We really valued the little snippets of advice on everything from the sauce on the fish to when to sneak off to the room for a break - always spot on. Ciaran was so attentive in the restaurant on the day and we really enjoyed his energy and charisma. We were also so grateful to Cormac and the rest of the kitchen staff. The food was a real gourmet experience and we heard nothing but wonderful reports about the food on both days as we had a barbecue/buffet in the hotel on the 2nd day, Finally, we really want to highlight how exemplary the staff were all weekend - if there was one resounding comment from all our guests it was how attentive and courteous every member of staff was. The waiting staff, the bar staff, the receptionists, the porters all made each one of our guests feel so special. We can't thank everyone by name, but Roland deserves a special mention for his unwavering patience behind the bar all weekend - he always had a wonderful smile on his face even at 5 in the morning! Thanks again Clodagh, Ciaran and the rest of the amazing staff at Sheen Falls Lodge.

We had our wedding reception at Sheen Falls Lodge in April 2018 and could not recommend it highly enough as the most incredible wedding venue. The location of Sheen Falls Lodge is idyllic and picturesque and the beautiful setting meant that we could take all our wedding photographs on the grounds of the hotel so had more time to enjoy our wedding reception. From The moment we set foot in Sheen Falls Lodge we immediately knew that Sheen Falls Lodge was the perfect wedding venue for us. We got further reassurance that we had made the right choice following our initial meeting with the hotel’s wedding coordinators, Ciaran and Clodagh who both have meticulous attention to detail and think of absolutely everything. They were both on hand throughout the weekend of our wedding to make sure everything ran perfectly! Ciaran and Clodagh took such an interest in our wedding, always offering helpful advice and suggestions when we needed it and were so quick at coming back to us whenever we had any queries. They were both a pleasure to deal with and made our wedding planning so effortless and stress free. We had a wedding of 188 guests and were also lucky enough to have our “Wedding Day 2” at Sheen Falls Lodge which meant that all of our guests decided to stay at Sheen Falls Lodge for 2 nights and made a weekend break out of it. The rooms at Sheen Falls Lodge are luxurious and spacious . From the canapes / wedding meal /late night food / BBQ on “Day 2”- the food which was exquisite and all of our guests were highly complementary. The talented Jim Kiely kept us entertained on the piano with a “sing-song” until the early hours of the morning. The service was top class and all the staff are so professional, attentive and yet very warm and friendly. In terms of choosing a wedding venue, Sheen Falls Lodge ticks all the boxes- We were so happy and felt very fortunate that we got to celebrate our wedding at Sheen Falls Lodge and look forward to returning for our anniversary.

We held our wedding reception in Sheen Falls Lodge in September 2018 and it was the experience of a lifetime. From our initial meetings with Ciaran and Clodagh right through to the wedding day itself we couldn't have asked for a more attentive, professional and helpful service. A special mention has to go to the reception staff and concierge who so seamlessly checked in all of our guests and park dozens of cars without any fuss whatsoever. Our drinks reception was a magical experience which was complimented by both Jim and Andre on the piano and saxophone. The food at dinner was the best meal either of us have ever eaten and we received compliments from several of our guests about the quality of the food as well as the first class service from all of the waiting staff. The scenery of the river and water fall in the background was a perfect accompaniment to the atmosphere at the dinner. The entire layout of the hotel lends itself perfectly to the kind of intimate wedding that we were aiming to have, from the smaller library and drawing rooms to the cosy fires to the main dance floor and adjoining bar we really couldn't have asked for anything more. The bar staff also couldn't have been more helpful and friendly to both everyone. A special word of thanks here to Dmitar, John, Robbie, Artur and Roland (just to name a few!) at the bar. We are both so appreciative for everything that Clodagh, Ciaran and all of the staff did for us and our family by creating the perfect day and would not hesitate to recommend Sheen Falls as an ideal wedding venue for anybody looking to experience five star service and luxury at its best. We look forward to many more visits to Sheen Falls in the future!

From the minute we saw the hotel we knew it would be perfect. Ciaran and Clodagh could not have done enough for us, it was great to have their help and advice as we weren’t sure about a few things. We did not have to worry about one thing at the reception, everything was done perfectly and there was nothing that was too much trouble. I was delighted the hear back from the guests on how fabulous the hotel and especially the staff were. I felt as though all the staff really went out of their way to make sure everyone had a fantastic day. The scenery is beautiful and even though it rained on the day it was still absolutely amazing. The dinner in the evening was amazing as well as the food later on in the night. It was actually difficult to decide what to have on the menu as everything was so good. I am delighted we chose the Sheen Falls and I would highly recommend it as a wedding venue, the beautiful scenery and amazing staff really made it a wonderful day for us!

From the moment we arrived at Sheen Falls to the emotional day of departure, the endeavours of the staff to go above & beyond with an exceptional level of service was remarkable. From the reception team, to the wait staff at our drinks reception to the staff at the meal & the bar, everyone was so aware of their role in making this experience a special & enjoyable one for everybody. The team at Sheen Falls achieved that with ease, accompanied by a warm & friendly style. All of our guests, from our parents to our friends, young and old, loved the whole experience & felt they were treated like royalty. We would love for you to extend our thanks & appreciation to a few people in particular who were very kind to us - Claire & Sarah on reception, Robbie, Quentin & the wait staff in the restaurant, Jim for his incredible skill at entertaining our guests, the chef for his magnificent feast & to Ciarán, I have a separate note below to express our gratitude for everything you did for us. Regarding the food - I can't count the number of compliments we received from our guests. It was outstanding. I couldn’t quite imagine how the team in the kitchen would cope with turning out close to 150 meals of exquisite standard, but they did it with style. I had friends comment they had never tasted John Dory before & it had instantly become their favorite food! You & the wonderful chef offered to keep a meal aside for Ros, should he feel less nervous & his appetite return later in the evening after the speeches were done which was such a thoughtful gesture & so accommodating. To summaries, we are so grateful to Ciarán for the tremendous success you, in no small part, helped to make of our wedding day. There is not one regret or doubt in our heads about our decision to choose Sheen Falls as our reception venue - it surpassed our expectations in every way.Our guests were blown away & everybody had such a wonderful weekend - which is all we could ever have wished for.

We got married in Sheen Falls Lodge in May 2016 and we could not recommend it enough for weddings, weekend breaks or, if lucky enough, a longer stay in beautiful Kerry. We really wanted a relaxed venue, where our guests could feel completely at ease. We were so taken with Sheen Falls from the moment we first visited, and as well as the incredible surroundings and hotel itself, it is the genuine staff there who make it so unique and special. It is clear that every one of the team are fully committed to providing you with the highest levels of service, in a friendly and thoroughly welcoming manner.We met with the Deputy Manager, Ciaran Murphy, and we instantly felt at ease and reassured that we would be taken care of; we booked Sheen Falls as our wedding venue with a lot of confidence. In the months building up to the wedding, Ciaran and the team could not have been more helpful. He offered us great advice, suggestions and there was no task or request that was too big or small. Clodagh and team were fantastic in helping to book all our guests in and accommodate families with kids also, and Anna and all the team were so kind and professional on front desk. We particularly enjoyed our tasting weekend and met with the head chef on the night to chat through the menu. Truly delicious and a great weekend in itself. Our wedding day came and our guests were completely blown away by Sheen Falls, commenting on the amazing food, venue, staff and how spectacular their rooms were. On the day itself, Ciaran made everything flow so smoothly. He keeps an eye on everything but does so very subtly. He seemed to know what you would like before you did! Even when we were getting our pictures taken, we turned around and Ciaran was there with a pint of Guinness and glass of prosecco for us! He looked after everyone so well and was familiar with so many of our family and friends by the end of the weekend. All our guests in particular mentioned how amazing the staff were.

Nothing was ever a problem and they were very responsive to our questions and queries. Our guests were blown away by the venue and the location. Friends and family are still commenting on the venue.

Our experience with the Sheen Falls started long before our nuptials on the 2nd August 2015. In November 2014 we reached out to Aileen Hanley of the Sheen Falls to discuss holding our wedding reception in the hotel. Our search began and stopped with this meeting. Aileen made us relaxed from the start - her can-do; relaxed, yet unbelievably organised attitude made the run up to the wedding extremely calm and enjoyable. She was so pleasant and helpful -even offering her own ipod wedding music list for us to use on the night of our wedding! We could never have envisaged the outcome which unfolded on our wedding day. And the venue that was produced for our reception surpassed all of our expectations. The backdrop setting of the Sheen Falls Lodge is breathtaking - located just outside the town of Kenmare, over-looking the picturesque Kenmare Bay. We enjoyed our Prosecco/ Guinness and mini-scone reception in the lounge / patio area with the Sheen Falls in the background, accompanied by a fabulous Jazz pianist setting the tone. A truly special start to our celebrations. Our 4 course wedding meal was just out of this world - there is no other way to describe it. Beginning with a fresh crab starter to a champagne sorbet, followed with Kerry lamb or Seabass and sweetened with a generous mix of desserts - mouthwatering was not the word for it. Topped off with outstanding service. The main topic after our wedding was the unbelievable food served in the Sheen Falls that evening along with the venue itself. Not forgetting the staff at the Sheen Falls - Aileen proved to be a reflection of the dedicated and helpful staff working in the Sheen Falls - their helpfulness and on-point execution of all aspects on the day was truly remarkable. I would recommend the Sheen Falls Lodge to anyone considering wedding locations - its far from just a venue, its an entire experience.

We had our wedding in Sheen Falls Lodge in April 2015 and cannot recommend it highly enough to any couple planning a wedding. From the moment we met with Aileen to inquire about the hotel we fell in love with the hotel, venue and what they could offer for our big day. When planning our wedding reception we really wanted an exclusive, intimate venue that could provide top class service and food and with sufficient rooms to cater for all our guests. Sheen Falls Lodge provided all this and more, having the hotel exclusively for our guests was brilliant and made it so special and memorable. Aileen and Ciaran were great to deal with throughout the preparations and provided a very professional service as well as offering very sound advice on many aspects of the day, no request was too much for them. The food and service was second to none. Resident pianist, Jim was fantastic, guests are still raving about him and he kept the party going well into the early hours. The hotel location is unique and with all the rooms overlooking the falls or Kenmare Bay makes each one of them unique and special. We had use of the presidential suite for the duration of our stay and it was fabulous, we really didn't want to leave and already can't wait to go back for our first anniversary.

Aileen Hanley and the staff at Sheen Falls hotel exceeded all our expectations for our wedding in May 2015. I'm finding it difficult to know where to begin... From the minute we visited the hotel we knew it was the perfect venue. Its accessible charm combined with 5 star luxury provided us with the best of both worlds; a hotel our family and friends could feel at comfortable and at home in but with the quality and attentiveness you can expect from a 5 star venue and more. As two professional project managers, we really tested their wedding planning process and spent many hours with the staff planning and discussing the details for the day. We never felt like anything we asked for was too much or couldn’t be accommodated and everything we discussed was recorded and delivered on the day, even some things we had forgotten we had asked about. Aileen and Ciaran were also excellent at recommending ideas which worked well in the hotel and suppliers they had worked with previously. The main dining room was refurbished in the run up to the wedding and we got regular updates and photos to keep us informed and help us to imagine how the room would work for us on the day. All our guests commented on the warm welcome we all received on check-in and especially on amazing quality, size and views from the bedrooms. The hotel décor speaks for itself and the flower arrangements in the dining room and throughout the hotel were in the colour scheme of the wedding which made it very personal. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a calm and incident free morning on their wedding day to leave it in the hands of the hotel. Everything we had discussed was organised like clockwork, which we were completely oblivious to, and which left us to enjoy every minute with our family and friends. The bridal suite is like something from a fairy tale, a tower at the end of the hotel where you can be undisturbed in the most comfortable of surroundings, with the sound and view of the falls as the

Our special wedding day with Sheen Falls Lodge - where do I begin! Planning could not have been easier, we first met the team at Sheen Falls Lodge October 2014 where we had a look round the hotel to see if it would meet our requirements. We were only in Kenmare for the weekend as we live in England and were over for a weekend break. We had fallen in love with Kenmare and thought it perfect to get married there so arranged a viewing of the hotel. We were blown away! The hotel is perfect for a wedding. Endless opportunities for photographs in the stunning grounds. After our initial meeting with the hotel, we decided this is the place we want to get married. We confirmed this with the hotel and were given Aileen's contact details to liase with. Aileen was AMAZING and trying to organise a wedding from another country could not have been easier with the expertise of the hotel staff. From December 2014 to April 2015 when we arrived in Kenmare to get married May 1st 2015 I was emailing Aileen with little questions, I got all the answers I needed within 24 hours which was perfect. When we arrived in Kenmare in April we had an appointment with the hotel to finalise the details. We were hoping for an outdoor service to make the most of the grounds but the weather did not allow so the indoor ceremony room was set up and was the intimate service we wanted. With only 35 including Bride and Groom, Oscars Bar was perfect. Enough room for drinking and dancing to the music Jim the in house Pianist so wonderfully played to dining in the 5* restaurant - Oscars Bar was great! As the evening came to a close, the staff made sure those who needed transport back were sorted and the rest went to bed. At breakfast we were greated with a glass of Champagne and as most guests stayed at the hotel we enjoyed a leisurely morning making the most of the spa facilities before a midday checkout. We had the most perfect of days and the team at Sheen Falls Lodge could not have done more for us!

Our wedding day at Sheen Falls was fantastic, we had an intimate family wedding and all guests had a wonderful time. The food and service on the day was top class and not just on our wedding day but also the day after as we stayed for a second night where we were treated to a splendid barbecue. It was the view of the falls themselves that made our time and photos there very special indeed. We would highly recommend having a wedding at the Sheen falls and the fact that Kenmare town is very close by is also an added attraction.

In our search for the perfect wedding venue Sheen Falls stood out in a class of it’s own due to the beauty of it’s natural setting as well as the professionalism, unrivalled attention to detail, warmth and support of it’s staff. With the support and guidance of Charle and Sheila the organisation of our wedding, which could have been a stressful experience, proved to be a pleasure. We know that all our guests were very happy with their luxurious rooms, all of which had fantastic views of the Sheen Falls; we had the pleasure of staying in the Presidential Suite during the wedding which was indeed amazing. On the day of the wedding we and our guests were impressed with the staffs’ attention to detail and ability to look after your needs in a discreet fashion. The food was delicious and complimented on by all of our guests. Everything ran smoothly throughout the day. In our dealings with Sheen Falls we found that nothing was ever a problem. The fact that our wedding took place at Sheen Falls ensured that from beginning to end we had a fabulous experience. Without hesitation, we would recommend Sheen Falls as a wedding location for any prospective bride and groom. It’s stunning location coupled with the staffs’ warmth and professionalism will ensure a very memorable and special day for any prospective bride and groom and their guests!

For our wedding day, we decided on an intimate celebration with close family, and we aimed for an event that would convey elegance, class and simplicity. With the Sheen Falls we got everything we desired and more. We chose the Sheen Falls Hotel for their excellent reputation and exceptional location and I can honestly say that it exceed our expectations. Our experience from start to finish was flawless. The staff at Sheen Falls were a pleasure to deal with, always professional while also maintaining a relaxed and friendly manner. They were enthusiastic, efficient and had excellent attention to detail. Nothing was a problem for them, from catering for our guests with special diets, to assisting with our special surprise guests who arrived on the wedding day. The location of the hotel, by the river and falls, is exceptional. The grounds make for lovely nature walks and inside the facilities are second to none. We celebrated our wedding close to Christmas and we were so impressed with the wonderful decorations, Christmas trees, flowers and roaring open fires. It was simply exquisite. The food served was 5 star quality in taste and presentation. All our guests, without exception, agreed that it was the best meal they ever experienced at a wedding. Celebrating our wedding at the Sheen Falls was wonderful. Such a naturally beautiful place and fabulous staff made our day very special and memorable.

Dear Sir/Madam, My wife Tina and I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Sheen Falls Lodge for doing such a stellar job in looking after us on our wedding day. Their whole team were truly outstanding! So many of our guests that had travelled to be with us on the day, remarked on what a unique property it is, nestled in an area of such natural beauty. I think many were especially astonished by the grounds outside. Being able to sit and enjoy a drink, whilst being serenaded by the gushing water and the passing Falls, was truly a most relaxing experience. The exceptional facilities allowed our guests to mingle and enjoy the comfortable surroundings and many commented on the wonderful décor. The Cascade Restaurant where we celebrated the meal was perfect for our party and no one missed out on any of the goings on. The bars, sitting rooms, reception area and public areas managed to offer such a warm welcome for everyone. Our family members also loved their rooms, and mentioned it was like ‘home from home.’ Needless to say the Presidential Suite was magnificent. The management and staff must especially be commended. The care and attention for ourselves and our guests, in every area of the Hotel, was faultless. I have never experienced such a dedicated level of service before. The meal was delicious, and the day went without even a minor hiccup! Mind you, I have to say I’m not surprised, when a dedicated team helped us plan the day with such precision and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble. The encouragement and warmth at every step was such a tremendous help. What else can I say. The management and team managed to grant our every wish and ensured that we will hold tight to many cherished memories for years to come. I look forward to visiting again soon, Warmest regards, Brian & Tina Gallivan.

Kenny and I are married 3 years since October 22nd. A small family wedding was the most preferable option for us and we wanted an intimate, luxurious venue in a picturesque part of Kerry. The Sheen Falls Lodge ticked all the boxes. From the moment we approached the Sheen Falls Lodge, Patricia O' Connell (Reservations Coordinator) and all of her colleagues were extremely accommodating and they went above and beyond the call of duty to meets our wishes. Over the months leading up the October 22nd, Patricia kept in regular contact with us. As neither of us were from the Kenmare, we depended on Patricia for advice, support and contacts. She made several recommendations that added a quirky element to our special day. The marriage ceremony was at St. Fachtna's Church, Bonane, a beautiful church just a few minutes drive from the Sheen Falls Lodge. Patricia recommended St. Fachtna's and she also recommended that we pop across the road to Lorge Chocolatier, a quaint business that produces high quality chocolates. We were treated to an array of beautiful chocolates and hot chocolates with a good dash of brandy. Patricia's recommendations added to the magic of our day. On the night before our wedding, all the staff went to great trouble helping and supporting us in any way they could. They made sure we had everything that we needed. On the morning of our wedding, they made each of us feel so special, they were extremely friendly, kind and thoughtful. It was as if we were the only guests staying at the hotel. On return to the hotel, we were greeted by a campaign reception, beautiful canapes and of course the red carpet. The fire blazed in the as we enjoyed the luxury that surrounded us. The presentation of the wedding reception room was spectacular, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We are so happy that we celebrated our wedding at Sheen Falls. Memories of the quality of service and kindness that we received will always stay with us.

I would love to be invited to another wedding at Sheen Falls just to experience such a special venue again.

My husband Paul and I were married at Sheen Falls on August 30, 2010. Sheen Falls is responsible for making it the magical fairy tale that every couple dreams and hopes for their wedding. Its setting is magical in and of itself. Our actual ceremony was held just outside the front doors of the hotel. Sheen Falls offered the use of the two antique cars belonging to the hotel for my dad and family to use when driving up from Marianne's Cottage when it was time for us to walk down the aisle. Our guests were in awe. The service and food were stellar. The hotel was extremely accommodating with our food choices and buffet/station style dinner selections. Paul is originally from Ireland, so the majority of his guests traveled from around Ireland. All of my guests traveled over from the United States. Whether you traveled near or far, the staff at Sheen Falls made you feel like you were home. Paul and I have been lucky enough to go back and stay at Sheen Falls almost every year since our wedding. It is a magical experience each time we visit. From beginning to end, our wedding was a five star day! Sincerely, Paul and Malinda Chidgey

What can I say, Sheen Falls Lodge is a spectacular venue for a wedding! As chief bridesmaid to one of my best friends it was very important that our day ran smoothly & the day certainly did just that. This was Thanks in no small way to Aileen the SFL manager on duty the day of Eimhear & Ollies wedding. Aileen was behind the scenes all morning and afternoon making sure pins arrived & were placed on jackets, that the bride & groom had a chance to relax before the meal & that the dinner & evening thereafter ran like clockwork. The location of SFL nestled in the mountains & forestry speaks for itself, as do the Falls right outside the window. The care received from all the staff throughout the day ensured precision and detail were far from lost, while the meal itself was exquisite. The very fact that Eimhear & Ollie had the hotel to themselves made this day absolutely perfect - people of all ages were scatters throughtout the hotel and it meant every guest was situated in the place they felt most comfortable...the young people stayed on the dancefloor for the most part, while other guests were spread out in the lobby, bar and decking outside. All this culminayed in a day I will always remember, Thank you Sheen Falls and Aileen for making this such a n Amazing day that we will always cherish. Fiona

Sheen Falls hosted our wedding on August 1st 2014. It was truly a great experience from meeting with Ciaran initially to the day itself. Ciaran and Aileen were particularly accomodating in ensuring our day was tailored to our needs. Food, intimacy and a beautiful setting were our priorities and Sheen Falls fitted the bill to perfection. Upon arrival, all our guests were greeted with hospitality and warmth. The food was superb especially the beef wellington and the mini burgers went down a treat as part of evening food. The grounds overlooking Kenmare and the waterfall were perfect for our photos. The rooms were also fabulous- stylish and comfortable. We loved the intimacy of the library where we had reception drinks and music in the evening. The drawing room overlooking the bay was also a lovely setting for the meal. Thank you to all the staff in Sheen Falls for making our day very special and one to remember.

We recently got married in Sheen Falls Lodge and we cannot recommend it highly enough as a wedding venue. From the moment we arrived at the Lodge we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Everything about Sheen Falls was amazing, the setting magical, the Lodge beautiful and the staff so friendly, welcoming and professional. Patrick and Aileen Hanley's knowledge and attention to detail was second to none. When Aileen sat down with us to go through the wedding details she set us on the right course of action on more than one occasion. Her attention to detail and expertise shone through on every aspect of planning our big day, in particular with our wedding menu. The food on the day was superb, the service second to none - providing us with a fine dining experience for all our guests. Aileen and all the staff at Sheen Falls went out of their way to make our wedding day one to remember. We arrived at the hotel three days before our wedding and from the moment we stepped through the door we were treated like VIP's as we're all our guests which we really appreciated. We would like to thank all the staff at Sheen Falls for making our wedding day a truly amazing experience. Helen and Niall

We got married in Sheen Falls Lodge on Friday 14th December. Right from the start Clodagh listened to our every idea, worry or whim and was able to reassure and offer advice where needed, her experience and knowledge was so evident. On the day, she was always in the background and everywhere that was needed. We truly felt that she made our wedding experience so personal. It was so lovely being greeted by Clodagh as we arrived at the hotel as a married couple as she had shared every step of this journey with us. We'd also like to extend a special thank you to Ciaran - he was the first face we met when we started our venue search a year ago and every time we stopped into the hotel over the last year he was so welcoming and always stopped for a chat. We really valued the little snippets of advice on everything from the sauce on the fish to when to sneak off to the room for a break - always spot on. Ciaran was so attentive in the restaurant on the day and we really enjoyed his energy and charisma. We were also so grateful to Cormac and the rest of the kitchen staff. The food was a real gourmet experience and we heard nothing but wonderful reports about the food on both days as we had a barbecue/buffet in the hotel on the 2nd day, Finally, we really want to highlight how exemplary the staff were all weekend - if there was one resounding comment from all our guests it was how attentive and courteous every member of staff was. The waiting staff, the bar staff, the receptionists, the porters all made each one of our guests feel so special. We can't thank everyone by name, but Roland deserves a special mention for his unwavering patience behind the bar all weekend - he always had a wonderful smile on his face even at 5 in the morning! Thanks again Clodagh, Ciaran and the rest of the amazing staff at Sheen Falls Lodge.

We had our wedding reception at Sheen Falls Lodge in April 2018 and could not recommend it highly enough as the most incredible wedding venue. The location of Sheen Falls Lodge is idyllic and picturesque and the beautiful setting meant that we could take all our wedding photographs on the grounds of the hotel so had more time to enjoy our wedding reception. From The moment we set foot in Sheen Falls Lodge we immediately knew that Sheen Falls Lodge was the perfect wedding venue for us. We got further reassurance that we had made the right choice following our initial meeting with the hotel’s wedding coordinators, Ciaran and Clodagh who both have meticulous attention to detail and think of absolutely everything. They were both on hand throughout the weekend of our wedding to make sure everything ran perfectly! Ciaran and Clodagh took such an interest in our wedding, always offering helpful advice and suggestions when we needed it and were so quick at coming back to us whenever we had any queries. They were both a pleasure to deal with and made our wedding planning so effortless and stress free. We had a wedding of 188 guests and were also lucky enough to have our “Wedding Day 2” at Sheen Falls Lodge which meant that all of our guests decided to stay at Sheen Falls Lodge for 2 nights and made a weekend break out of it. The rooms at Sheen Falls Lodge are luxurious and spacious . From the canapes / wedding meal /late night food / BBQ on “Day 2”- the food which was exquisite and all of our guests were highly complementary. The talented Jim Kiely kept us entertained on the piano with a “sing-song” until the early hours of the morning. The service was top class and all the staff are so professional, attentive and yet very warm and friendly. In terms of choosing a wedding venue, Sheen Falls Lodge ticks all the boxes- We were so happy and felt very fortunate that we got to celebrate our wedding at Sheen Falls Lodge and look forward to returning for our anniversary.

We held our wedding reception in Sheen Falls Lodge in September 2018 and it was the experience of a lifetime. From our initial meetings with Ciaran and Clodagh right through to the wedding day itself we couldn't have asked for a more attentive, professional and helpful service. A special mention has to go to the reception staff and concierge who so seamlessly checked in all of our guests and park dozens of cars without any fuss whatsoever. Our drinks reception was a magical experience which was complimented by both Jim and Andre on the piano and saxophone. The food at dinner was the best meal either of us have ever eaten and we received compliments from several of our guests about the quality of the food as well as the first class service from all of the waiting staff. The scenery of the river and water fall in the background was a perfect accompaniment to the atmosphere at the dinner. The entire layout of the hotel lends itself perfectly to the kind of intimate wedding that we were aiming to have, from the smaller library and drawing rooms to the cosy fires to the main dance floor and adjoining bar we really couldn't have asked for anything more. The bar staff also couldn't have been more helpful and friendly to both everyone. A special word of thanks here to Dmitar, John, Robbie, Artur and Roland (just to name a few!) at the bar. We are both so appreciative for everything that Clodagh, Ciaran and all of the staff did for us and our family by creating the perfect day and would not hesitate to recommend Sheen Falls as an ideal wedding venue for anybody looking to experience five star service and luxury at its best. We look forward to many more visits to Sheen Falls in the future!

From the minute we saw the hotel we knew it would be perfect. Ciaran and Clodagh could not have done enough for us, it was great to have their help and advice as we weren’t sure about a few things. We did not have to worry about one thing at the reception, everything was done perfectly and there was nothing that was too much trouble. I was delighted the hear back from the guests on how fabulous the hotel and especially the staff were. I felt as though all the staff really went out of their way to make sure everyone had a fantastic day. The scenery is beautiful and even though it rained on the day it was still absolutely amazing. The dinner in the evening was amazing as well as the food later on in the night. It was actually difficult to decide what to have on the menu as everything was so good. I am delighted we chose the Sheen Falls and I would highly recommend it as a wedding venue, the beautiful scenery and amazing staff really made it a wonderful day for us!

From the moment we arrived at Sheen Falls to the emotional day of departure, the endeavours of the staff to go above & beyond with an exceptional level of service was remarkable. From the reception team, to the wait staff at our drinks reception to the staff at the meal & the bar, everyone was so aware of their role in making this experience a special & enjoyable one for everybody. The team at Sheen Falls achieved that with ease, accompanied by a warm & friendly style. All of our guests, from our parents to our friends, young and old, loved the whole experience & felt they were treated like royalty. We would love for you to extend our thanks & appreciation to a few people in particular who were very kind to us - Claire & Sarah on reception, Robbie, Quentin & the wait staff in the restaurant, Jim for his incredible skill at entertaining our guests, the chef for his magnificent feast & to Ciarán, I have a separate note below to express our gratitude for everything you did for us. Regarding the food - I can't count the number of compliments we received from our guests. It was outstanding. I couldn’t quite imagine how the team in the kitchen would cope with turning out close to 150 meals of exquisite standard, but they did it with style. I had friends comment they had never tasted John Dory before & it had instantly become their favorite food! You & the wonderful chef offered to keep a meal aside for Ros, should he feel less nervous & his appetite return later in the evening after the speeches were done which was such a thoughtful gesture & so accommodating. To summaries, we are so grateful to Ciarán for the tremendous success you, in no small part, helped to make of our wedding day. There is not one regret or doubt in our heads about our decision to choose Sheen Falls as our reception venue - it surpassed our expectations in every way.Our guests were blown away & everybody had such a wonderful weekend - which is all we could ever have wished for.

We got married in Sheen Falls Lodge in May 2016 and we could not recommend it enough for weddings, weekend breaks or, if lucky enough, a longer stay in beautiful Kerry. We really wanted a relaxed venue, where our guests could feel completely at ease. We were so taken with Sheen Falls from the moment we first visited, and as well as the incredible surroundings and hotel itself, it is the genuine staff there who make it so unique and special. It is clear that every one of the team are fully committed to providing you with the highest levels of service, in a friendly and thoroughly welcoming manner.We met with the Deputy Manager, Ciaran Murphy, and we instantly felt at ease and reassured that we would be taken care of; we booked Sheen Falls as our wedding venue with a lot of confidence. In the months building up to the wedding, Ciaran and the team could not have been more helpful. He offered us great advice, suggestions and there was no task or request that was too big or small. Clodagh and team were fantastic in helping to book all our guests in and accommodate families with kids also, and Anna and all the team were so kind and professional on front desk. We particularly enjoyed our tasting weekend and met with the head chef on the night to chat through the menu. Truly delicious and a great weekend in itself. Our wedding day came and our guests were completely blown away by Sheen Falls, commenting on the amazing food, venue, staff and how spectacular their rooms were. On the day itself, Ciaran made everything flow so smoothly. He keeps an eye on everything but does so very subtly. He seemed to know what you would like before you did! Even when we were getting our pictures taken, we turned around and Ciaran was there with a pint of Guinness and glass of prosecco for us! He looked after everyone so well and was familiar with so many of our family and friends by the end of the weekend. All our guests in particular mentioned how amazing the staff were.

Our experience with the Sheen Falls started long before our nuptials on the 2nd August 2015. In November 2014 we reached out to Aileen Hanley of the Sheen Falls to discuss holding our wedding reception in the hotel. Our search began and stopped with this meeting. Aileen made us relaxed from the start - her can-do; relaxed, yet unbelievably organised attitude made the run up to the wedding extremely calm and enjoyable. She was so pleasant and helpful -even offering her own ipod wedding music list for us to use on the night of our wedding! We could never have envisaged the outcome which unfolded on our wedding day. And the venue that was produced for our reception surpassed all of our expectations. The backdrop setting of the Sheen Falls Lodge is breathtaking - located just outside the town of Kenmare, over-looking the picturesque Kenmare Bay. We enjoyed our Prosecco/ Guinness and mini-scone reception in the lounge / patio area with the Sheen Falls in the background, accompanied by a fabulous Jazz pianist setting the tone. A truly special start to our celebrations. Our 4 course wedding meal was just out of this world - there is no other way to describe it. Beginning with a fresh crab starter to a champagne sorbet, followed with Kerry lamb or Seabass and sweetened with a generous mix of desserts - mouthwatering was not the word for it. Topped off with outstanding service. The main topic after our wedding was the unbelievable food served in the Sheen Falls that evening along with the venue itself. Not forgetting the staff at the Sheen Falls - Aileen proved to be a reflection of the dedicated and helpful staff working in the Sheen Falls - their helpfulness and on-point execution of all aspects on the day was truly remarkable. I would recommend the Sheen Falls Lodge to anyone considering wedding locations - its far from just a venue, its an entire experience.

We had our wedding in Sheen Falls Lodge in April 2015 and cannot recommend it highly enough to any couple planning a wedding. From the moment we met with Aileen to inquire about the hotel we fell in love with the hotel, venue and what they could offer for our big day. When planning our wedding reception we really wanted an exclusive, intimate venue that could provide top class service and food and with sufficient rooms to cater for all our guests. Sheen Falls Lodge provided all this and more, having the hotel exclusively for our guests was brilliant and made it so special and memorable. Aileen and Ciaran were great to deal with throughout the preparations and provided a very professional service as well as offering very sound advice on many aspects of the day, no request was too much for them. The food and service was second to none. Resident pianist, Jim was fantastic, guests are still raving about him and he kept the party going well into the early hours. The hotel location is unique and with all the rooms overlooking the falls or Kenmare Bay makes each one of them unique and special. We had use of the presidential suite for the duration of our stay and it was fabulous, we really didn't want to leave and already can't wait to go back for our first anniversary.

Aileen Hanley and the staff at Sheen Falls hotel exceeded all our expectations for our wedding in May 2015. I'm finding it difficult to know where to begin... From the minute we visited the hotel we knew it was the perfect venue. Its accessible charm combined with 5 star luxury provided us with the best of both worlds; a hotel our family and friends could feel at comfortable and at home in but with the quality and attentiveness you can expect from a 5 star venue and more. As two professional project managers, we really tested their wedding planning process and spent many hours with the staff planning and discussing the details for the day. We never felt like anything we asked for was too much or couldn’t be accommodated and everything we discussed was recorded and delivered on the day, even some things we had forgotten we had asked about. Aileen and Ciaran were also excellent at recommending ideas which worked well in the hotel and suppliers they had worked with previously. The main dining room was refurbished in the run up to the wedding and we got regular updates and photos to keep us informed and help us to imagine how the room would work for us on the day. All our guests commented on the warm welcome we all received on check-in and especially on amazing quality, size and views from the bedrooms. The hotel décor speaks for itself and the flower arrangements in the dining room and throughout the hotel were in the colour scheme of the wedding which made it very personal. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a calm and incident free morning on their wedding day to leave it in the hands of the hotel. Everything we had discussed was organised like clockwork, which we were completely oblivious to, and which left us to enjoy every minute with our family and friends. The bridal suite is like something from a fairy tale, a tower at the end of the hotel where you can be undisturbed in the most comfortable of surroundings, with the sound and view of the falls as the

Our special wedding day with Sheen Falls Lodge - where do I begin! Planning could not have been easier, we first met the team at Sheen Falls Lodge October 2014 where we had a look round the hotel to see if it would meet our requirements. We were only in Kenmare for the weekend as we live in England and were over for a weekend break. We had fallen in love with Kenmare and thought it perfect to get married there so arranged a viewing of the hotel. We were blown away! The hotel is perfect for a wedding. Endless opportunities for photographs in the stunning grounds. After our initial meeting with the hotel, we decided this is the place we want to get married. We confirmed this with the hotel and were given Aileen's contact details to liase with. Aileen was AMAZING and trying to organise a wedding from another country could not have been easier with the expertise of the hotel staff. From December 2014 to April 2015 when we arrived in Kenmare to get married May 1st 2015 I was emailing Aileen with little questions, I got all the answers I needed within 24 hours which was perfect. When we arrived in Kenmare in April we had an appointment with the hotel to finalise the details. We were hoping for an outdoor service to make the most of the grounds but the weather did not allow so the indoor ceremony room was set up and was the intimate service we wanted. With only 35 including Bride and Groom, Oscars Bar was perfect. Enough room for drinking and dancing to the music Jim the in house Pianist so wonderfully played to dining in the 5* restaurant - Oscars Bar was great! As the evening came to a close, the staff made sure those who needed transport back were sorted and the rest went to bed. At breakfast we were greated with a glass of Champagne and as most guests stayed at the hotel we enjoyed a leisurely morning making the most of the spa facilities before a midday checkout. We had the most perfect of days and the team at Sheen Falls Lodge could not have done more for us!

Our wedding day at Sheen Falls was fantastic, we had an intimate family wedding and all guests had a wonderful time. The food and service on the day was top class and not just on our wedding day but also the day after as we stayed for a second night where we were treated to a splendid barbecue. It was the view of the falls themselves that made our time and photos there very special indeed. We would highly recommend having a wedding at the Sheen falls and the fact that Kenmare town is very close by is also an added attraction.

In our search for the perfect wedding venue Sheen Falls stood out in a class of it’s own due to the beauty of it’s natural setting as well as the professionalism, unrivalled attention to detail, warmth and support of it’s staff. With the support and guidance of Charle and Sheila the organisation of our wedding, which could have been a stressful experience, proved to be a pleasure. We know that all our guests were very happy with their luxurious rooms, all of which had fantastic views of the Sheen Falls; we had the pleasure of staying in the Presidential Suite during the wedding which was indeed amazing. On the day of the wedding we and our guests were impressed with the staffs’ attention to detail and ability to look after your needs in a discreet fashion. The food was delicious and complimented on by all of our guests. Everything ran smoothly throughout the day. In our dealings with Sheen Falls we found that nothing was ever a problem. The fact that our wedding took place at Sheen Falls ensured that from beginning to end we had a fabulous experience. Without hesitation, we would recommend Sheen Falls as a wedding location for any prospective bride and groom. It’s stunning location coupled with the staffs’ warmth and professionalism will ensure a very memorable and special day for any prospective bride and groom and their guests!

For our wedding day, we decided on an intimate celebration with close family, and we aimed for an event that would convey elegance, class and simplicity. With the Sheen Falls we got everything we desired and more. We chose the Sheen Falls Hotel for their excellent reputation and exceptional location and I can honestly say that it exceed our expectations. Our experience from start to finish was flawless. The staff at Sheen Falls were a pleasure to deal with, always professional while also maintaining a relaxed and friendly manner. They were enthusiastic, efficient and had excellent attention to detail. Nothing was a problem for them, from catering for our guests with special diets, to assisting with our special surprise guests who arrived on the wedding day. The location of the hotel, by the river and falls, is exceptional. The grounds make for lovely nature walks and inside the facilities are second to none. We celebrated our wedding close to Christmas and we were so impressed with the wonderful decorations, Christmas trees, flowers and roaring open fires. It was simply exquisite. The food served was 5 star quality in taste and presentation. All our guests, without exception, agreed that it was the best meal they ever experienced at a wedding. Celebrating our wedding at the Sheen Falls was wonderful. Such a naturally beautiful place and fabulous staff made our day very special and memorable.

Dear Sir/Madam, My wife Tina and I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Sheen Falls Lodge for doing such a stellar job in looking after us on our wedding day. Their whole team were truly outstanding! So many of our guests that had travelled to be with us on the day, remarked on what a unique property it is, nestled in an area of such natural beauty. I think many were especially astonished by the grounds outside. Being able to sit and enjoy a drink, whilst being serenaded by the gushing water and the passing Falls, was truly a most relaxing experience. The exceptional facilities allowed our guests to mingle and enjoy the comfortable surroundings and many commented on the wonderful décor. The Cascade Restaurant where we celebrated the meal was perfect for our party and no one missed out on any of the goings on. The bars, sitting rooms, reception area and public areas managed to offer such a warm welcome for everyone. Our family members also loved their rooms, and mentioned it was like ‘home from home.’ Needless to say the Presidential Suite was magnificent. The management and staff must especially be commended. The care and attention for ourselves and our guests, in every area of the Hotel, was faultless. I have never experienced such a dedicated level of service before. The meal was delicious, and the day went without even a minor hiccup! Mind you, I have to say I’m not surprised, when a dedicated team helped us plan the day with such precision and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble. The encouragement and warmth at every step was such a tremendous help. What else can I say. The management and team managed to grant our every wish and ensured that we will hold tight to many cherished memories for years to come. I look forward to visiting again soon, Warmest regards, Brian & Tina Gallivan.

Kenny and I are married 3 years since October 22nd. A small family wedding was the most preferable option for us and we wanted an intimate, luxurious venue in a picturesque part of Kerry. The Sheen Falls Lodge ticked all the boxes. From the moment we approached the Sheen Falls Lodge, Patricia O' Connell (Reservations Coordinator) and all of her colleagues were extremely accommodating and they went above and beyond the call of duty to meets our wishes. Over the months leading up the October 22nd, Patricia kept in regular contact with us. As neither of us were from the Kenmare, we depended on Patricia for advice, support and contacts. She made several recommendations that added a quirky element to our special day. The marriage ceremony was at St. Fachtna's Church, Bonane, a beautiful church just a few minutes drive from the Sheen Falls Lodge. Patricia recommended St. Fachtna's and she also recommended that we pop across the road to Lorge Chocolatier, a quaint business that produces high quality chocolates. We were treated to an array of beautiful chocolates and hot chocolates with a good dash of brandy. Patricia's recommendations added to the magic of our day. On the night before our wedding, all the staff went to great trouble helping and supporting us in any way they could. They made sure we had everything that we needed. On the morning of our wedding, they made each of us feel so special, they were extremely friendly, kind and thoughtful. It was as if we were the only guests staying at the hotel. On return to the hotel, we were greeted by a campaign reception, beautiful canapes and of course the red carpet. The fire blazed in the as we enjoyed the luxury that surrounded us. The presentation of the wedding reception room was spectacular, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We are so happy that we celebrated our wedding at Sheen Falls. Memories of the quality of service and kindness that we received will always stay with us.

My husband Paul and I were married at Sheen Falls on August 30, 2010. Sheen Falls is responsible for making it the magical fairy tale that every couple dreams and hopes for their wedding. Its setting is magical in and of itself. Our actual ceremony was held just outside the front doors of the hotel. Sheen Falls offered the use of the two antique cars belonging to the hotel for my dad and family to use when driving up from Marianne's Cottage when it was time for us to walk down the aisle. Our guests were in awe. The service and food were stellar. The hotel was extremely accommodating with our food choices and buffet/station style dinner selections. Paul is originally from Ireland, so the majority of his guests traveled from around Ireland. All of my guests traveled over from the United States. Whether you traveled near or far, the staff at Sheen Falls made you feel like you were home. Paul and I have been lucky enough to go back and stay at Sheen Falls almost every year since our wedding. It is a magical experience each time we visit. From beginning to end, our wedding was a five star day! Sincerely, Paul and Malinda Chidgey

What can I say, Sheen Falls Lodge is a spectacular venue for a wedding! As chief bridesmaid to one of my best friends it was very important that our day ran smoothly & the day certainly did just that. This was Thanks in no small way to Aileen the SFL manager on duty the day of Eimhear & Ollies wedding. Aileen was behind the scenes all morning and afternoon making sure pins arrived & were placed on jackets, that the bride & groom had a chance to relax before the meal & that the dinner & evening thereafter ran like clockwork. The location of SFL nestled in the mountains & forestry speaks for itself, as do the Falls right outside the window. The care received from all the staff throughout the day ensured precision and detail were far from lost, while the meal itself was exquisite. The very fact that Eimhear & Ollie had the hotel to themselves made this day absolutely perfect - people of all ages were scatters throughtout the hotel and it meant every guest was situated in the place they felt most comfortable...the young people stayed on the dancefloor for the most part, while other guests were spread out in the lobby, bar and decking outside. All this culminayed in a day I will always remember, Thank you Sheen Falls and Aileen for making this such a n Amazing day that we will always cherish. Fiona

Sheen Falls hosted our wedding on August 1st 2014. It was truly a great experience from meeting with Ciaran initially to the day itself. Ciaran and Aileen were particularly accomodating in ensuring our day was tailored to our needs. Food, intimacy and a beautiful setting were our priorities and Sheen Falls fitted the bill to perfection. Upon arrival, all our guests were greeted with hospitality and warmth. The food was superb especially the beef wellington and the mini burgers went down a treat as part of evening food. The grounds overlooking Kenmare and the waterfall were perfect for our photos. The rooms were also fabulous- stylish and comfortable. We loved the intimacy of the library where we had reception drinks and music in the evening. The drawing room overlooking the bay was also a lovely setting for the meal. Thank you to all the staff in Sheen Falls for making our day very special and one to remember.

We recently got married in Sheen Falls Lodge and we cannot recommend it highly enough as a wedding venue. From the moment we arrived at the Lodge we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Everything about Sheen Falls was amazing, the setting magical, the Lodge beautiful and the staff so friendly, welcoming and professional. Patrick and Aileen Hanley's knowledge and attention to detail was second to none. When Aileen sat down with us to go through the wedding details she set us on the right course of action on more than one occasion. Her attention to detail and expertise shone through on every aspect of planning our big day, in particular with our wedding menu. The food on the day was superb, the service second to none - providing us with a fine dining experience for all our guests. Aileen and all the staff at Sheen Falls went out of their way to make our wedding day one to remember. We arrived at the hotel three days before our wedding and from the moment we stepped through the door we were treated like VIP's as we're all our guests which we really appreciated. We would like to thank all the staff at Sheen Falls for making our wedding day a truly amazing experience. Helen and Niall
