Janine & Eamonn 28th December 2011

We were married over the Christmas period at Kinnitty Castle Hotel and everything was brilliant. I couldn’t recommend this place enough for a wedding choice it was just perfect. The Castle is amazing and for visitors visiting Ireland a real treat with Kinnitty village just down the road and the church in the village, a very picturesque setting with true Irish heritage.
The staff at the castle were very friendly, kind and helpful and Cavan attended to all our wedding requests. There was a delay at the church before we got married and the team at kinnitty were brilliant, keeping us calm with bubbly, very thoughtful and appreciated!
The reception rooms at the castle are brilliant, with the Great Hall of the O’Carroll’s being the perfect wedding location with the bar next to the dance floor (a wedding must) and the dungeon bar for late night / early morning drinks is great craic!
The food was superb and all the rooms true medieval castle style. Thank you for making our wedding a magical experience and we hope to spend every anniversary with you. Thanks again to all the team.

Lisa & Fran 19th November 2011

Hi Cavan,
Myself and Fran want to thank you for such a fantastic day on Nov 19th.  We still can’t believe we organised everything in 4 months. We couldn’t have done this without you. We really appreciate all your help, attention to detail and great advice even down to recommending suppliers of our flowers and cars. You made everything so easy for us and the day went like a dream. We pinched ourselves on the day as we couldn’t believe how perfect everything was. Our guests are still talking about the fabulous food and of course the magical location and the beautiful Christmas decorations. We can’t wait to return. Thank you so much Cavan and team.
 
See you Soon,
Warm Regards,
Fran & Lisa

Wayne & Diana 20th October 2011

Hi Andrew,
Just a quick note to say thanks very much for the fantastic day Diana and I had on the 20th. We couldn't have asked for more from you or the staff, ever since we started planning with you there was nothing too big that you couldn't accommodate, I’m sure at times we melted your head with questions and little queries about this that and the other but in fairness to you, so much of the stress for Diana and myself was taken out of it by the professional way you dealt with us!
The night we came into you for the tasting we were blown away by the food Anthony cooked, and the guests reacted in a similar manner, my uncle (who is quite the food critic) has been raving about the beef since!
During the day the staff of the hotel were always on hand to help us in any little thing we needed which was wonderful, But having you and Cavan at hand all day left us wanting nothing.
The accommodation was fantastic not just in the Bridal suite but also in all the rooms our guests stayed in. They all really enjoyed their time there. It’s hard to describe one single thing that made the day so special as there were loads of little touches that culminated in a lovely feel to the whole day. 
Kind regards
Wayne and Diana

Steven & Maeve 14th October 2011

Dear Andrew,
Thank you so much for all your help throughout the course of our wedding day and preparations. The whole weekend was everything we ever imagined it to be. The time, dedication, attention and hands on approach you showed was second to none and the speed and personal touch with which you dealt with us both and our families and friends was first class. Kinnitty Castle is a magical venue for a wedding celebration and that is further enhanced by the wonderful staff that were so friendly and inviting. Thank you so much in particular to Anne and the rest of the fantastic waiting staff. Thanks to Mary and all who arranged the Reception room. Betty the florist was amazing and did a fantastic job on decorating for the ceremony and reception. Anthony the chef and his team did a superb job and made our unique menu exactly how we wanted and it was a wonderful meal. Kinnitty will always hold a very important place in our heart and we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding a weekend we truly will never forget.

The rooms were spotless and so cosy it felt like a home away from home and thanks to Mary, Linda and all the cleaning staff no one wanted for anything.
As for Clodagh and the girls at the front desk i couldn't of asked for anything else they couldn't have done enough for us through out the weekend.
The food was amazing the night before the wedding, the wedding dinner and the BBQ the day after, and thank you for adding some extra food on for the BBQ for the late arrivals.

Kathryn Gallagher and Conor O'Mally - 3rd Septmeber 2011
We had our wedding in Kinnitty Castle Hotel and I have to say we had an absolutely fabulous celebration.
All the staff made all our guests feel so welcome and the service in the hotel was outstanding.
As an event manager for many years (and I've worked with many venues) the Kinnitty Castle Hotel team (particularly Cavan the wedding co-ordinator)
were excellent and have made our day so special that it's now being talked about as being "the best wedding ever".
We were so impressed with the level of service and the quality of food (excellent) and the overall venue itself.
It really is exceptional and I would recommend Kinnitty Castle Hotel as a super venue for a wedding celebration (or any celebration!).

Thanks again to all the staff for all their hard work over the weekend.

Fiona McInerney & TJ Ryan - 27th August 2011
We celebrated our Wedding in Kinnitty Castle Hotel in August this year.
My Husband had attended a wedding there many years ago and had always wanted to get married there,
so it was an easy choice of venue to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives.
From the minute we got engaged I knew that I wanted to deal with a relaxed, yet efficient Venue and Team.
Andrew the General Manger and Cavan the wedding co-ordinator fulfilled that brief and ensured that everything ran like clockwork.
Everyone we dealt with in the hotel was extremely friendly, professional and competent.
We knew from the start that we were in good hands and that our day would run without a hitch.
The wedding day was absolutely perfect, I can't say enough about how happy we were with everything, our guests were all very impressed and everyone had a ball!
The food was amazing, and the head chef ensured that everything was just the way we liked it.
The service was excellent and the bridal suite was huge.
The day after our wedding, we had a BBQ for the two families and friends in the courtyard and Dungeon Bar and it was absolutely perfect,
lovely and intimate after the craziness of the day before.
If I was to do it all over again, I would, without a doubt, choose Kinnitty Castle again.
We're already looking forward to going back for another visit.
Just wanted to say a massive massive thank for all your help with the wedding.
 We could not fault the Castle, everything was really lovely.
The quirky charachter and charm of Kinnitty cannot be denied,
it is a must see and if you are looking for something a bit different that allows for fun from the beginning to the end then Kinnitty is the place. 
All our guests thoroughly enjoyed their day too and had nothing but praise for the Castle and staff.
From Clodagh at the front desk to Mary in the venue room and to the boys Andrew and Cavan, thanks for all your help and good luck to you all in the future.
Thanks,
Fiona and T.J

Alison & Paul  Clancy- 27th July 2011
Dear Cavan,
We wanted to give you feed back as we both had time to reflect on the events of the day.
Overall we were very happy with the level of service provided.
That included the presentation of the hotel itself on the day and the drinks reception.
Some friends of mine noted that food was promptly handed around by staff which meant that guests didn't have to look for the canapes etc.
The reception itself ran very smoothly even though photography ran over time. The food was of excelllent quality.
Both family and friends remarked on the excellent portion size and speed at which it was served.
The staff were very pleasant and polite. They were very attentive.
the banquet hall was well decorated and well presented.
My family and friends have not stopped talking about the atmosphere Kinnitty had. That's exactly what we wanted.
We want to thank you for giving us the day that we wanted so much. We barely noticed the rain with such surroundings as Kinnitty!
We will definitley be back for anniversaries etc.!
Regards,
Alison and Paul

Lynne & Ray O'Brien - 23rd July 2011
Dear Cavan and all staff at Kinnitty Castle Hotel,
What can we say only the biggest thank you to you all for making our day so special!
From the moment we arrived, the entire day and night was flawless. You allowed us to be 100% worry free because we knew you had everything completely under control.
Nothing was ever too much when we were organising the wedding, and on the day you went over and beyond to help us and to make sure we and our guests were thoroughly looked after.
We just loved the table in the middle of the courtyard for our reception drinks, with rose petals in the shape of a big love heart with the glasses of champagne in the middle…such a beautiful touch!
Cavan, you were so professional and we felt so calm knowing you were in charge, thank you for everything! The amount of our family and friends that remarked on how good the food was and how brilliant you were was incredible.
To anyone thinking of having their wedding at Kinnitty Castle Hotel, book book book, you will not regret it! We felt like royalty.
Ray & Lynne O’Brien

Aoife & Richard Liptrot – 25 June 2011
"We would wholeheartedly recommend Kinnitty to anyone getting married; the setting for a wedding is second to none.

Overall, though, there were two aspects that really stood out in making it a great day. Firstly, there was the professionalism of the staff. They made us feel so welcome; no request was too demanding, including our last minute changes. They had all taken the trouble to know who everyone was and made a real effort with our six-month-old son who loved every minute.

The second was the food. All our guests raved about how they had never had such good food at a wedding. Everything was delicious, and even with seven courses there was hardly a scrap left on a plate.
If I had to go back, I would not hesitate for a second in picking Kinnitty Castle again. We'll definitely be coming back to stay and to relive some of our memories."

Roisin & Fabrizio Boccacci – 19th June 2011
A big thank you to you & your staff for such splendid organisation and great days in which our guests and us spent at the Castle.

JP & Sinead Robbins -17th June 2011
We are very grateful to all the staff of Kinnitty Castle for helping to make our wedding day so memorable.   We had such a wonderful time, and this was due in part to the staff of the Castle who were professional, friendly and warm.  All our guests were made to feel so welcome. Everything was perfect from the food to the flowers to the layout of the banqueting hall.  We cannot thank you enough and would recommend Kinnitty Castle to anyone.
