 The team at The Dunloe are experts in making your wedding, whether a grand occasion or something more intimate, live up to your fantasies. This is your dream, your day, so listening is at the heart of everything The Dunloe does when planning your ceremony and reception, while always living up to the hotel’s guiding principle: quality without compromise.

 Licensed for civil ceremonies, yours will be the only wedding at the Dunloe on the date of your choosing. You will have the undivided attention of the hotel’s dedicated staff.

 A beautiful location is the first thing most couples are looking for in a wedding venue and in The Dunloe’s 64 acre estate you’ll find both a superlative backdrop for your photographs and a secluded haven in which to enjoy private time with your friends and family.

 The historic, award-winning gardens are in the best country house style and were designed as a horticultural round the world trip – Chilean firs give way to South African lilies, New Zealand cherries complement Japanese maples, while the Killarney strawberry tree carries the flag for Ireland.

 At the heart of the estate are the ruins of MacThomas’ medieval keep, set against the brooding Kerry Mountains. For couples looking for a venue that celebrates their unique Irish heritage, there could be no better place than the home of Daniel Mahony, the much-beloved 17^th century hero of Kerry. As one English writer admiringly wrote: “The English Viceroy might be supreme in Dublin Castle, but Daniel Mahony was sovereign in Kerry.”

 The owners of The Dunloe have done their utmost to maintain the historic grandeur of the Castle, while sympathetically bringing the contemporary styling touches and luxury associated with the most elegant city boutique hotels.

 At the centre of every grand country home is the ballroom, and at The Dunloe the Park Suite is your blank canvas and private playground for the evening. Able to accommodate up to 210 guests, The Dunloe’s signature space is flooded with natural light with views over the estate to the River Laune and the mountains beyond. The Park Suite is intimate and spacious, ready to be transformed to your specifications.

 Show-stopping food and drink is a must have for any wedding. The Dunloe is justly proud of its hard-won five star dining status. From the canapés your guests enjoy on arrival to the wedding breakfast you can expect only the best in modern Irish cuisine, celebrating the world-renowned produce of this famous agricultural region on the Atlantic coast. A menu tasting session so you can design your perfect celebration meal is all part of the wedding service at the Dunloe.

 If the little extras are what shows that a venue cares not just about winning your business but also about providing the very best experience then The Dunloe makes a very impressive case.

 The newly weds will enjoy the comforts of The Dunloe Suite on their wedding night as part of their package. The best rooms in the hotel have unrivalled views of the estate and with its Jacuzzi and steam room is the perfect place to relax and unwind while making your final preparations for the big day and as you sit back and relax with a drink as you start your new life as husband and wife.
