Killeshin Hotel
The Killeshin Hotel is a 4-star hotel in Portlaoise. As it is part of the Só Hotel group, there is a distinctive decor theme and what I loved about this hotel was its warmth. When you enter the lobby, the wall patterns would make for very cool back drop to your wedding pictures. The red carpet is rolled out upon arrival. The reception area is very spacious and opens to an outdoor private courtyard where your guests can chill out in the open marquee area. There is a suite available for civil ceremonies and the room was dressed with cherry blossoms, lanterns, flower petals and cute signage.

Farnham Estate
The Farnham Estate Hotel makes you feel like you are in a resort away from all of the madness. The venue is surrounded by acres of greener, woodlands, golf course and a lake. The ballroom is contemporary but very understated. You have plenty of room to bring in arrival music, candy carts, photo-booths or whatever you wish to do. They also have a private area for brides and grooms! Your guests can enjoy all of the leisure amenities; such as ESPA facial and infinity pool. The great dinner in the Botanica Restaurant will make your wedding more amazing.

Kinnitty Castle Hotel
What I love about Kinnitty Castle is its great grandeur yet it has a balance of warmth and friendliness. My favourite is the walkway to the bridge. The decor at arrival receptions is an old world with plenty of large-scale paintings, high ceilings and antique furniture. The bridal suite is unreal and so luxurious. The Great Hall for your banquet is a rectangular shape and you can have one long table running the whole way down. It is like Hogwarts banquet hall from Harry Potter. If you love a medieval style, vintage and not a fan of a modern look, this is really worth considering!
