10 out of 10

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

Wedding review

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.

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 ...
