Average Rating: 5 out of 5 - based on 296 reviews

Where to start, we first met Alan at Wedfest in January 2024 and got the brochure and arranged a meeting with him soon after, as soon as we walked into the hotel, the staff were so friendly and Alan could not have been more helpful with all the queries and questions we asked about our big day! We …

quickly made our decision and locked in our date for the following March.

Our wedding day quickly approached and Alan was so helpful via email and at our Menu tasting, we were so excited!

The week of the wedding arrived and the team were so helpful as we made a few trips with all our additional items, Sheila and team couldn't have been more accommodating with unloading the items and Sheila reassured Naomi to not panic and everything was under control (which it was!)

The big day came and Karl collected Naomi and her Mother at her home in Skibbereen, Karl was very friendly and kept us at ease as nerves were high, arrived at Kenmare Bay Hotel and we had our ceremony and brought to the Pier and town for our photos by the complimentary car!

The evening quickly got underway, Alan introduced us to our guests and mc'd our table dash / speeches and dinner was served- the compliments on the food have been nothing but fantastic!

We had the best day and would highly recommend Kenmare Bay Hotel and their fantastic staff to all future couples - we sure are glad we had our wedding there!!

We had our Wedding at Kenmare Bay Hotel on 31/01/25, from the moment we visited the hotel and met Alan back in March 2023 we knew this was where we wanted to have Our Wedding.
Alan was unbelievable to deal with, nothing went unanswered and nothing was too much bother.
Everything from start to …

finish on our wedding day was absolutely amazing. The service, the detail in everything, but oh my god did they outdo themselves with the food it was amazing and all of our guests told us it was fabulous and some even said it was the best wedding meal they have had.
We spent the whole weekend staying in the hotel from the minute we arrived we were treated brilliantly. Our family and Friends had a brilliant weekend.
As for Vinny and Myself, we had a fabulous wedding weekend and we had the wedding day we dreamed of and more all thanks to Alan and the staff at Kenmare Bay.
Wish we could do it all again.

Thank you Alan and all the staff at Kenmare Bay Hotel

The Kenmare Bay Hotel was excellent to deal with. Alan was extremely helpful and very professional in all our dealings with him. The entire team were excellent on the day. The food was top class as was the service. I would highly recommend the Kenmare Bay Hotel as a wedding venue.

From the moment we met with Alan and the team at the Kenmare Bay Hotel, we knew we were in a safe pair of hands.

Alan was there at every step of the planning stage. All the staff from the accommodation staff to the function room staff were amazing and made our weekend extra special.

Our main …

focus was the food and our guests raved about the meal. No ask was too much.

Thanks again to all the staff at Kenmare Bay Hotel for making our dreams come true.

We booked our wedding back in January 2021. There was only one hotel we wanted and that was the Kenmare Bay Hotel. They did not disappoint! We can't thank Alan enough and all the staff at the hotel for everything they did for us. They made our day so special. The build-up was very calm and …

enjoyable. All our guests are still complimenting the food. Alan did a fantastic job as MC on the day and could easily pass as a comedian. We would highly recommend the Kenmare Bay Hotel to any newly engaged couples who are looking for a hotel that goes above and beyond.
