An elegant day to remember

The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere was so warm and full of joy, and every detail felt so thoughtful. From the ceremony to the food and the non-stop dancing, it was one of the most memorable weddings we've ever attended. So honoured to have been part of such a special day

A Fairytale Come True, we’d Do It All Over Again!

We got married in January 2025, and we’re still on cloud nine! From the moment we viewed the venue, we knew it was the one. The staff went above and beyond, no detail was too small, no request too much. Our guests are still raving about the views and the atmosphere. Every moment, from getting ready that morning to our first dance, felt so special, relaxed, romantic, and uniquely us. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful start to our marriage. Thank you for making it all so unforgettable.

Truly Amazing hotel for a wedding

The minute we went to view the hotel, we got all the feels for the place straight away. Thank you so much for everything you did for our big day. We were blown away with how perfect everything was. The wedding team and all the staff were absolutley amazing. The food, the reception, everything was just fab. We had a lot of kids attending the wedding and the hotel was the perfect location. The kids were able to run around outside. During the meal the balcony was perfect for them to run free and with easy visibility for the adults to watch them. The blacony was also perfect for the bit of fresh air when your bate from all the dancing. All our guests dietary needs were met so easily. Literally everything we asked the staff to do for our big day was met. We got lovely pictures on the grounds of the hotel and at Charles Fort. Nothing was too much to ask. If ye decide to have the beef for the main course, it's worth paying the extra few sure for the feather blade.

The Perfect Day!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding at The Kinsale Hotel & Spa, and we can confidently say it was the best decision we made! Everything exceeded our expectations. The wedding co ordinator, hotel management and staff were exceptional. They really listened to us and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We where able to have good chats and a laugh with them. Karolina, Ronan and John were always on hand and kept things on track. The hotel has a stunning setting, we wanted a Christmas wedding and the venue pulled out all the stops for us. The decor for the weekend was magical. We got plenty of lovely photos on site and managed to get to Kinsale for a few photos as its only down the road. The food was first class and the whole experience for the dinner was amazing, the chef came out to check on us which was a nice touch. For our wedding we wanted somewhere where our guests could stay on site. There was plenty of rooms for our guests to stay without having to find other accommodation. We had the ceremony, cocktail reception, dinner and evening party all in one place without any traveling. We had loads of music during the day and the hotel were so accommodating working with all the suppliers involved. They were happy to personalise things for us and advise us on what could be done. The team at the hotel went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and stress-free. They were very personable and really made it a relaxed atmosphere. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day unforgettable! If you’re considering this hotel for your wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

A dream day

From start to finish our experience with Kinsale Hotel and Spa was nothing short of perfection. The staff were kind, professional but best of all great fun. We had the pleasure of dealing with Karolina, John, Ronan, Andrei, Laura, along with all the fantastic catering & bar staff. Our wedding day went off without an issue all thanks to the hard work and dedication to the staff. They catered for our every need during every stage of the planning process. This continued on to the actual wedding day. The venue is breathtaking, with all of our guests admiring the views and the grounds of the hotel. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Kinsale Hotel and Spa to any couple planning their big day - you won’t be disappointed!!

Nothing short of perfection

We had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Kinsale Hotel and Spa in August last year, and it was nothing short of perfection. From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to ensure that our day was seamless and truly unforgettable. Karolina, our wedding coordinator, was a dream to work with—always responsive, attentive, and supportive throughout the planning process. Ronan, the General Manager, regularly checked in with us and was a constant source of support
