Killarney’s Newest Exclusive Intimate Wedding Venue, Kenmare House.
With more and more couples in Ireland seeking intimate yet luxurious wedding venues, the search for the perfect place can be challenging. But now, I’m thrilled to introduce a true gem in the heart of the Killarney National Park: Kenmare House – Lakes of Killarney. This exclusive venue offers couples the chance to experience a wedding that is both intimate and entirely unique, where they are the only focus of the day.
This venue is a blank canvas allowing couples to bring in their own wedding style to allow a day that is truly all about their vision. Couples who chose Kenmare House will need to bring their own wedding team such as planner or coordinator along with catering. There are an abundance of fabulous wedding planners who understand this area and a venue like Kenmare House. I love Blue Blossom Creative, Infusion Weddings, Aislinn Events, House of Hannah, to name but a few.
Kenmare House is the epitome of elegance. Nestled within the scenic beauty of the Lower Lakes, this luxury Georgian-style manor blends sophistication with the welcoming comfort of a home away from home. Whether you’re planning a small family affair or even eloping, Kenmare House is designed to meet your every need.
What makes Kenmare House truly special is its rich heritage. The estate’s history dates back to the sixteenth century with the arrival of the Browne family in Killarney. This Kenmare House, the last of its name, was the cherished home of Beatrice Grosvenor, the final member of the Browne family, Earls of Kenmare. Even Queen Victoria visited an earlier Kenmare House, before a trip to Muckross House, during her iconic trip to Killarney in 1861.
After Beatrice’s time, the house underwent a loving restoration by the current owners, the Kelleher family retained its historical charm but sprinkled it with modern luxury for today’s couples.
One of the standout features of Kenmare House is its private chapel. This means you can host your entire wedding day in one breathtaking location, from the ceremony to the reception.
If your dream wedding includes a more elaborate event, couples can opt to bring in a marquee and create a DIY wedding on the expansive grounds—an option that’s sure to excite many! again, a wedding planning team is required and my above recommendations stand well here.
For those worried about accommodation for larger gatherings, Kenmare House is part of the Castlerosse Park Resort family, ensuring your guests will be taken care of in style. If bringing in your own wedding team feels like a daunting task, you have the option to use Kenmare House as your luxury base and then have your full reception with the team in Castlerosse Park Resort. Here, you will have a dedicated wedding coordinator and catering. The best of both worlds.
The estate even offers access to a private 9-hole golf course, perfect for those looking to add a bit of fun to their special day. In addition, it sits adjacent to the prestigious Killarney Golf & Fishing Club which is a huge draw both domestically and internationally. Couples can also host drinks receptions in the charming private garden, and the venue provides lawn games to keep the celebration lively.
Kenmare House is truly versatile. Whether you want to embrace the venue’s classic decor or customise it to fit your wedding’s theme, the space allows for endless possibilities. And when it comes to backdrops for your wedding photos? The options are limitless. From the elegant lounges to the lush gardens and stunning lakeside views, every corner offers a picture-perfect moment.
This venue isn’t just for weddings, either. If you’re planning a pre-wedding celebration or a family gathering, Kenmare House also accommodates private bookings, making it a fantastic option for those special moments before the big day or for any other celebrations such as anniversaries, birthday’s, Intimate gatherings or corporate events.
Kenmare House – Lakes of Killarney is truly a one-of-a-kind wedding venue, offering couples the chance to create a bespoke, intimate, and unforgettable experience.
