The staff were exceptional all day with everything. Tom, the main man we dealt with was brilliant in every way. His organisation made the day a breeze for us. The food really topped it off! All our guests commented on how efficiently the staff were with serving everyone together at the same time and coming around for second helpings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Kenmare Bay Hotel is truly outstanding. It\u2019s those little touches that makes them the best Hotel around. When we went to our hotel room there was chocolate, champagne and an engraved photo frame with wedding photo inside. It was a beautiful touch. I could not recommend the staff at Kenmare Bay Hotel highly enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery overflow\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Shane & Marie\" title=\"Shane & Marie\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/7.jpg-682x1024.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/7.jpg-315x315.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Shane & Marie\" title=\"Shane & Marie\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8.jpg-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8.jpg-315x315.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Shane & Marie\" title=\"Shane & Marie\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11.jpg-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/11.jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Marie & Shane\" title=\"Marie & Shane\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Marie-Shane2-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Marie-Shane2.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Shane & Marie\" title=\"Shane & Marie\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/12.jpg-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/12.jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Kenmare Bay Hotel\" title=\"Kenmare Bay Hotel\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/10.jpg-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/10.jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Kenmare Bay Hotel\" title=\"Kenmare Bay Hotel\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/9.jpg-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/9.jpg.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-2\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-2\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"fsdf\" title=\"fsdf\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fsdf-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fsdf.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-1-3 mob-col-1-3 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"fd\" title=\"fd\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fd-1024x682.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fd.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOur photographer Tony O\u2019Donovan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momentsintime.ie\/\">Moments in Time<\/a> was brilliant to work.
