Wedding Reviews for The Keadeen Hotel

throughout your whole stay. The food is top class and plenty of it, all our guests complimented the food. The ballroom is breathtaking and you dont have to worry about decorating it as they do the most beautiful job. We got married in their outdoor ampitheathre and all i can say is WOW! A little piece of heaven on heart , we had planned a church wedding until we had seen this. The hotel also do an amazing job decorating this. The bridal suite is the best I have seen and beautiful for photos. The staff cannot do enough for you and you get a real feel from them all that they love what they do , this hotel could run courses on how hotels should be run. If i could offer any bride to be some advice ot would be book The Keadeen , you are guaranteed the most perfect, magical day. Thank you to all the staff at the Keadeen for a day we will never forget

waitressing team, housekeeping and grounds people - thank you all. All your hard work makes the hotel what it is and is the reason why all our guests are still talking about the beautiful hotel, the gardens, the food and especially the quality of service.

We had the best day and are so glad we picked your hotel.

Thanks again and please pass on our thanks to Tina, Anthony and all the staff in the hotel.

Thanks again,

Elaine & Jimmy xx

especially Anthony and Tina they couldn't have done enough for us. But I had so many guests say how nice all the staff were.

Everything was just amazing from the arrivals to the food, the meal was incredible and I still have guests telling me how nice the food and venue were.

Also the kids loved their babysitter, they had a great time with her.

Kind Regards

detail was second to none! You have been so good getting back to emails and helping me sort any situations out when I needed it.
I couldn’t have picked a better venue! Honestly thank you all so much for being so kind and helpful it was really noticed on the day.

managers (apologies as I didn't catch their names) were terrific on the day and acted with immense precision and professionalism, they were a pleasure to deal with.

All of our guests were suitably impressed with how active and attentive the staff were, particularly during the meal. Our sincere thanks to the chef and kitchen for not only providing outstanding meals for all our guests, but also for catering to the special dietary requirements we outlined. We all felt utterly pampered by the quality of the service. I will be highly recommending The Keadeen Hotel to all of my friends and I'm sure that you have made a very big impression on all who attended our special day.

Finally, to you Aoife, I really cannot thank you enough for all of your help. You have been a constant pillar of positivity and helpfulness. Shaina and I were organising this from outside of Ireland and to have you on the other side of the email is something that we are wholly appreciative of. You are terrific at your job and your work speaks for itself.

Thank you to all the staff at The Keadeen Hotel.

Best wishes,
Simon and Shaina McCormack

through final details and on the day also he is just so nice and very relaxed. Got my daughter sausages after she refused her chicken nuggets, nothing was an issue!
Tina welcomed us on the day and was so friendly and I could see how she was on the ball with the whole day just going to plan and everything being done on time. She was so busy but every time she passed us still gave us a smile. Honestly, we had the most amazing weekend and a lot of that was down to the hotel and staff so cannot thank you enough.

commending the whole experience; the flowers leading the path to the front door, the friendly & beyond accommodating staff, the gardens, the drinks reception layout and spread, the wonderful decor and the incredible meal. We must agree with them! We are just so happy we chose The Keadeen as our wedding venue. We genuinely enjoyed every moment and have nothing but praise for your hotel and staff. It was everything we could have asked for.

We are looking to coming back to The Keadeen in the future!

Warmest regards,

wanted so thank you. Needless to say, the gardens were stunning; we were so lucky with the weather that everyone got to enjoy being outside. The dining room was gorgeous, we both loved the set up. Tina was outstanding; she was there to guide us through all the formalities. She was always nearby and offered answers to our questions, before we even asked!! She was on the ball. If you could pass our thanks to Joe and Tina, that would be great. The food was excellent. We both thought this, and so many people also commented on it. In particular the goats cheese tartlet and lamb had lots of compliments. The band and dancing was all setup unbeknownst to us and I'm pretty sure that ran smoothly. The cake was left in bridal suite as planned. The bridal suite was amazing, such a shame we didn't get to spend time in it. We loved it!

Finally, and most importantly - The wedding day itself is over in a flash but the planning and organisation takes a lot longer. You were so helpful and accommodating all the way through Aoife, and Jonny & I both want to say a very big thank you forever.

Kind regards
Claire & Jonny

and there is absolutely nothing at all that we would have changed. Every single one of our guests is still raving about the hotel and all of your staff, they, like us, loved every minute of the day and found both the venue itself and all of your staff to be amazing.

We really can’t thank you enough. It does seem a little unfair to pick out any individuals as all of your team were brilliant but having said that we do owe a special thanks to Sharon, Anna and Rose for everything they did for us both on the day itself and perhaps more importantly during the build-up. Nothing was ever too much trouble and you really made us feel like friends rather than guests, your patience, advice and help will never be forgotten.

Thank you doesn’t really sum up what we feel but I can’t think of any other words I can use!

in on the morning of the wedding to check out everyone has been so nice and friendly.
We want to say a special thank you to Tina who was on hand to make sure everything went to plan on the day. She really was a pleasure to deal with.

We got loads of compliments about the venue, the accommodation and especially the food. The food was absolutely amazing.

few weeks later we were in the area and we decided to take a look at the room, not thinking it would be even set up for a wedding but when I looked inside the room all I said was “wow” and our hearts were set on this venue from then on. It was a few months later before we actually got engaged and within a week we contacted the hotel and they moved things around to accommodate our date as it was important to us to hold it on this particular date. We never even looked at another venue and we couldn't be happier with our choice from the moment we booked it.

We were dealing with mainly Tina, Joe and Amanda and the service we received was excellent. They took as much time as needed with us to make sure we were happy with everything and accommodated all our needs.

We are still hearing from guests about what a great day it was and how amazing the hotel was. The compliments were for every area of the hotel, from the helpfulness of the staff to how great the food was and how beautiful the room was.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Keadeen Hotel with a special thanks to Tina, Joe and Amanda for everything and for making our wedding day so prefect.

went brilliantly. Feedback from our guests was very positive. Everyone raved about the food and said it was delicious. Please pass on our compliments to your chef and catering staff. The venue was superb (especially the gardens) which looked fab in their April splendour. We have great photos with the gardens as a beautiful backdrop. As the day was sunny and bright our guests made full use of the patio area outside the Garden Room during our arrivals reception. The Oak Room where we had our civil ceremony was beautifully decorated by the staff and the seating arrangement just right for our intimate wedding. Our guests who stayed overnight loved their accommodation and were delighted with the pool and leisure facilities the next morning.

Many thanks for all your help and advice during the planning of our wedding... it was a lovely experience. Joe and I would have no hesitation in recommending the Keadeen Hotel to any couple as a wedding venue... it is top notch for professionalism, courtesy and friendliness. We will be back to celebrate our 1st anniversary in April 2016!!

Best regards

made a point of getting to know everyone’s name, and really made everyone feel so welcome and comfortable.
On the day of the wedding, the entire team at the Keadeen went above just service, they looked after us as if we were their family. It really felt like we were the most important people in the world. From getting ready on the morning in the wonderful bridal suite, to the ballroom looking so perfect, and then the service and the food, it was all top class. We have received so many positive comments on every aspect of the hotel that that is just a testament to the hard work of the staff and the O’Loughlin family at the Keadeen.
It is difficult to single out just one person, therefore we would like to take this opportunity of extending our sincere thanks to everyone at the Keadeen Hotel.
You are a great team, you gave us our perfect day and if were to do it all again, we would be back to you, without a 2nd thought!!!
With warmest regards,
Anita & Patrick - February 2015

say enough about our wedding experience. The attention to detail provided by the staff was second to none, in the lead up to and on the day itself. Everything, from the delicious food to the professional service, from the beautiful gardens to the stunning ballroom was exceptional. We are hearing nothing but compliments and praise for the hotel from the guests since the wedding. We cannot recommend the Keadeen highly enough!

Thank you all so much once again - Ruth and Joe.


Review submitted on Thu, 18th of June, 2015

attention we received from the staff prior to booking, after booking and in the lead up to our wedding was second to none. We were made to feel like a part of the 'Keadeen family'. My family from the UK came over to stay in the Keadeen a couple of times before our wedding and they said they felt like they were treated like royalty. They were made to feel very very welcome. You took the stress away from our wedding preparation in everything you did for us and we can't thank you enough.

By the time our big day came around we were so relaxed and just couldn't wait to get married. From the moment we arrived at the hotel and were met by Tina, Anna & Joe we knew it was going to be the best day of our lives. Everything from start to finish was exceptional, not matter how small the detail was. The gardens are without a doubt are some of the best in the country and they are reflected in our wedding photos. The reception room, the ballroom, everything was perfect and exactly as we wanted. The food was out of this world and our guests have said that it is the best wedding they have ever been to.

Thank you again so much for making our wedding day so special. We will treasure it always.

Annette & David

day itself could not have gone more perfect and we had an absolute ball. From the minute we arrived until we left the next day we were treated superbly. The staff went above and beyond not only for us but for every one of our guests. It is still being talked about how wonderful the venue was and how accommodating the staff were regarding peoples food preferences and the bar staff were top notch also which just really makes a difference to the day. Coming from a background in hospitality myself it was just a breath of fresh air to come across a hotel with such friendly and also very professional staff. I literally can’t express our gratitude to you all it is just the most amazing venue and I wish we could do it all over again. To any future couples wondering about booking the Keadeen do not hesitate you will not be sorry it is truly a wonderful place

were well looked after. Even the night before our wedding the bar staff knew I was the bride so I was treated very well which I thought was a nice touch, I knew then there was great communication within the staff. The food was honestly the best I've ever tasted, all my guests talked about was the food and the brilliant staff serving the meal. Still a month later my guests are saying they are going to head back to Newbridge and book in to the hotel for a meal!! I cannot fault this Hotel in any way, they made our Wedding day fantastic especially Joe, Anna, Amanda and Sharon. The gardens are just stunning with fresh flowers everywhere and my wedding photos have turned out amazing because of this. I would reccomend this hotel to everyone thats getting married.

and had us completely at ease from the day we booked. They were always very willing to listen and discuss any ideas we had and indeed share their own to make our day more special.

Myself and Blair had a civil ceremony at the Keadeen hotel on the 22nd August 2014 followed by a reception there. We had the most magical day in the Keadeen! It ran like clockwork from the early morning rise on the day right through until the early hours of the following day, and in the most relaxed and laidback fashion it was simply perfection. All our guests are still talking about the weekend.

What and amazing venue, such stunning gardens and rooms for photos we were blessed the rain held off for us so we got full advantage of the gardens. The room where we had our civil ceremony was decorated so elegantly with stunning views over looking the gardens. The food was absolutely sensational everyone was raving about how good the meal was and not only on the day of the wedding but the standard of food throughout everyone's stay at the hotel was excellent. We had a celtic themed wedding and the celtic cross on the dessert plates the day of the wedding was such a lovely touch.
The accommodation was home away from home, very relaxed and extremely friendly atmosphere, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable and all my guests and Scottish inlaws are still raving about their holiday to the Keadeen!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our special day such a magical one, the only downside was that it had to end! We will definitely be back for a visit. Please pass on a massive thank you to all the staff.

Rebecca & Blair (The new Mr & Mrs Smith)

ensure we were happy with the venue. The Hotel is always spotless, the food and service is always excellent & the toilets are always clean.

On the day we did not have to worry about anything, the staff had kept in touch with us during the run up to our Wedding & they looked after everything and made sure everything ran smoothly.

The food as always was amazing, but the service was even better ( we had one guest arrive late & miss the dinner due to a football match, as the room was being setup for the band he was brought into another room and served his dinner ). We had 1 or 2 fussy eaters who were also looked after

The bar staff both in the reception and the residents bar were very friendly & quick, there was never a wait.

All our guests enjoyed the day and have passed on their compliments.
We cannot thank you all enough especially Sharon and Tina for looking after everything. We would highly recommend this hotel & will definitely be back for a visit. Not only are the hotel and grounds beautiful but the staff cannot do enough to look after every single guest.

Review submitted on Wed, 24th of September, 2014

excellent. All our guests were delighted with the quality of food they received. We got a lovely day weather wise and everyone loved sitting outside in the beautiful gardens.

Review submitted on Tue, 23rd of September, 2014

there was no problem contacting the hotel with any queries we had and we were also contacted on a regular basis, and we felt really at ease that everything would be perfect.

Perfect is an understatement.

The gardens were stunning on the day, we have amazing pictures of the kids running around. We felt like the day was a breeze as a Bride and Groom, no drama, no hassle. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. I think it might be rare to say, that NOTHING went wrong, we couldnt fault anything. The food was amazing, all our guests raved about it. Especially our somewhat bold choice of Spicy Cauliflour soup :-)

I couldnt recommend the Keadeen Hotel higher. Everyone loved our perfect day there.

staff on the day of our wedding were so polite and friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our meal was served quickly and efficiently.
The food was top class. We had three chefs as guests and all three of them were extremely impressed.
The management on the night were so helpful and we didn't have to worry about anything.
The Keadeen hotel are true professionals, and their prices are extremely competitive.
I would highly reccommend this hotel to anybody.

Reeves helped us to co-ordinate the garden room for arrival and the ballroom for the reception. She was brilliant with the advice she gave such as little last minute tips, delivering the cake, the lighting in the ballroom throughout the day and night. She was also very efficient to deal with, which made it stress free for me!
My guests were very pleased with the experience we had with The Keadeen Hotel and even kept it in mind for themselves and also recommended to others.

From a very happy customer!

Keadeen. Tina , Anna and Sharon did everything they could to make sure the day went just how we wanted it.
We had our ceremony in the hotel and Anna made sure that myself and the bridesmaids were all calm walking into a room of faces looking at us , which is a bit scary. It was like having an extra friend on hand to help with any last minute details. The food was by far the best food we've ever had at a wedding and everyone commented on how lovely and fresh it was.
In the evening Tina was on hand to make sure everything went to schedule smoothly and was there with needle and thread to stitch up a small rip at the bottom of my dress! And the bar staff were all great , friendly and on the ball.
All in all it was an amazing experience for us and we would completely recommend the Keadeen for anyone's wedding , big or small! Plus it's a beautiful hotel with beautiful gardens !

Review submitted on Tue, 23rd of September, 2014

celebrated there wedding here in 1979!) they are always willing to advise on the things that will help your day to run smoothly!

The wedding packages are all inclusive for the venue, so decorations and chair covers etc all come as standard, and are very tasteful.

The gardens are beautiful and a great backdrop for photos if you don't want to be away from your guests on the day. There is also easy access from the arrivals reception rooms, directly into the garden, which is beautiful for a summer's wedding. Their function room is large, and can be opened to create a very large venue if necessary. It is always beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and candles.
The arrivals reception rooms are equally beautiful and well equipped and decorated to suit the season and occasion.

The food is beautiful here, and the menu packages are tried and tested favourites of typical Irish wedding guests. There is some flexibility to be found if all is not to your taste on the menu options, so it's win win!

The only thing you will pay extra for here is if you want to add more options to your menu, or you want very specific decorations etc that are not already in the hotel.

Most importantly for us, the staff here are well used to weddings and large functions, and the day runs like clockwork. Your meal will be served on time, and delivered to all guests promptly, and there is plenty of second helpings for those who long for more! The staff will do everything they can to ensure your day runs smoothly and I couldn't recommend The Keadeen Hotel highly enough! Top Class Food, Top Class Service and Top Class Staff!

us.

The rooms we had for the ceremony/arrivals/reception, looked terrific. The Bridal Suite was fabulous, very spacious and extremely comfortable.

Many of our guests commented on the great service and friendliness of all the staff on the day and during our stay.

The gardens are also lovely for the photos and if it were a summer wedding, even more colourful.

We would definitely recommend the Keadeen Hotel if you are looking for a wedding venue.

delighted to have our wedding in the keadeen nothing was a problem, no job too big or too small! Fab ballroom and gardens and the bridal suite was amazing! But for us the wonderful staff really made our day we have just celebrated our 1st anniversary back in the keadeen and wow were we spoiled!
We have wonderful memories of an amazing wedding day and venue! Can't recommend it enough!

candle to Sharon who was dedicated to ensure everything was perfect for us! The whole team were fantastic throughout the whole process and couldn’t help or do enough for us. Organising your wedding from abroad is difficult but Sharon was always available and the hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate us whenever we were back in the country.

Our wonderful wedding day went without a glitch thanks to Sharon, Tina and all the team at the Keadeen Hotel. The food (thanks Kevin and team) and service was phenomenal and was a talking point for all our guests. Many of our guests had travelled from Scotland and were overwhelmed by the friendless and willingness of the staff to help. Our grandfather at the ripe old age of 93 was well accommodated for by the hotel. Simple things such as fetching him more tea/coffee and scones were done without having to ask if he was sitting by himself.

Despite the weather mishap, it didn’t dampen our day. We were able to get some fantastic photos with our photographer, some of which have won recent awards within the hotel itself. When we got a glimpse of the sunshine Tina had us outside getting some good snaps together.

Even into the early hours of the morning when the party continued the staff went above and beyond the call of duty assisting some of our merry guests to their luxurious beds.

Although our day came to an end, the party continued on the next day with an amazing BBQ. We had a few special food requests and kevin and his team were happy to provide it.

We honestly could not recommend the Keadeen Hotel enough. The whole team ensured we had the best day ever and we sincerely thank them for that!

was opened and they used to have dances . It was great to hear a bit about the history and character of the hotel. We booked our wedding for 11 months later and it was the most magical experience of our lives .
We met the staff on a few occasions and we were given a list of recommended bands and entertainment , we were also invited to a wedding fair and from all of this our day was planned with no fuss , hassle or stress. We realised early on that if we trusted the hotel and the staff also their experience then we knew we would have the day of our lives . We were made feel like we were the only guests in the hotel the co ordinator stayed with us for the entire day .
The food was outstanding the menus were amazing I can honestly say it was delicious and again it was all about us the waiters waitresses bars staff management receptionists could not have done more for us as couple and a party and everything ran like clockwork.. I would recommend the Keaden to any couple that is planning a wedding because they can answer every question u have recommend dress and suit shops to photographers to room decor fab fab fab highly recommend them what an amazing team of people and they deserve this award and I sincerely hope my review has helped

unbelievable venue for a wedding. The morning after our engagement it was straight to the Keadeen with no hesitation and no other venues in mind. It was a dream come true for both of us to have our wedding reception at the hotel.
On the day of the wedding we really could not of asked for anything more. Mrs. O'Loughlin, Amanda, Sharon and all the staff were exceptional. There was two duty managers working on the day and their attention to details was incredible. Aoife and I were able to sit back on the day and really enjoy ourselves. We did not have to worry about the finer details as we knew it was in the very professional hands of the staff. We felt so special.
Friends and family are still talking about the hotel. The food was exceptional and you can see why it really is award winning food. We were blessed with the weather on the day and to have everyone mingling in the beautiful gardens was great and it was captured lovely on our video.

To Mrs. O'Loughlin and all the staff in the Keadeen Hotel, Aoife and I can not thank you enough for all you done for us. It really was a dream come true and you helped with making it the best day of our lives.

Thank you for everything Aoife and Patrick 25th July 2014

wedding I had questions (trying to keep the annoyance to a minimum) I was able to talk to someone and they answered the questions with no hesitation. They made me feel special and talked me through everything, and even when I wanted a particular room for the ceremony they arranged it for me. A month before the wedding when things had to be finalised they were understanding with regard to when to meet up as I was not home until after a certain time. I was offered to leave things with them closer to the time so that the day before hand I could do other things. I could not have picked a better location to have my ceremony and meal. Everything flowed on the day and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I have been raving about the hotel since my wedding and I would definitely refer them.

Graeme and I had the best day we could have imagined. Our theme was completed throughout the day perfectly. The staff are a credit to the Hotel. Most of our guests talked about how friendly the staff were and how tasty the food was. The gardens are stunning and we were very lucky to have such a beautiful day with the weather. Tina, Anna & Rose were so accommodating with everything. Nothing was too much trouble. The girls on reception & reservations were also a pleasure to deal with and so helpful in the run up to and after the wedding. The 2nd day was a big success also, the personalised menu's were such a lovely touch. (Mrs & Mrs Singleton - loved it) I cannot thank you and all the staff enough for such a wonderful day. My family and I look forward to returning to the Keadeen for many occasions in the future.
My Mam and Dad were over at the Keadeen a few days later for dinner and they were treated with the same kindness and respect the received the day of the wedding day. Its nice to know that even after such a special day, You still feel very special when you return.
Maybe in the future, I will have a little girl and she will carry on the tradition and marry in the Keadeen Hotel just like her Mammy and Granny did.
