Dream Wedding at a Dream Location Dream Wedding at a Dream Location
It’s honestly impossible to put into words how magical our wedding was at Kinnitty Castle. The castle itself is absolutely stunning, the grounds are breathtaking, and everything about it just feels straight out of a fairytale. As if getting married in an ancient castle wasn’t magical enough, I have to send the biggest love and gratitude to Ana, the amazing wedding coordinator. We’re from California, so planning a wedding in another country at a venue we’d never seen could’ve been stressful—but Ana made it an absolute dream. From the very beginning, she was there for every question, every detail, and every little moment of reassurance. We planned for about a year, and the entire time Ana went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and completely stress-free. She coordinated every part of the day—from the ceremony hall to the beautiful banquet setup—flawlessly and always with a smile. Her professionalism, kindness, and calm energy made such a difference, and by the end, she felt more like a friend than a planner. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s truly unforgettable, I can’t recommend Kinnitty Castle and Ana enough. Our day was everything we ever hoped for and more—a memory we’ll cherish forever. ❤️ It’s honestly impossible to put into words how magical our wedding was at Kinnitty Castle.

My husband and I travelled from the US and had the pleasure of getting married and staying at the castle in early October. We literally could not have been more pleased. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. From the customer service, to the cleanliness of the grounds and rooms, to literally how we treated in every way, and to the food. We would pick Kinnitty castle over and over again. We want to highlight Ana, the wedding coordinator, specifically. She went above and beyond to make our experience in getting married there at the castle everything we could have dreamed. She was caring, she was attentive. She laughed and joked with our family, and truly was amazing. We loved her and everything about Kinnitty so much. We honestly can’t say enough good things.

Fairytale WeddingFairytale Wedding
My fairytale wedding, Visted Kinnitty castle back over 6 years ago and went there every year after that i decided if I was ever to get married that it would be there. I fell in love instantly with the place and the staff. The hotel is a rustic beautiful castle with fabulous rooms. But the staff honestly make the place there are so nice. What I like the most is you can go to Kinnitty Castle looking like a million dollars or go there in wellies and they treat you the same. So when I was finally getting married I knew without a doubt it would be there. Once I got in contact with Ana the wedding coordinator she honestly could not do enough for us she took care of everything. Including my massive family so I had a no stress day. She is a superstar and thought of everything even things I didn't think of. I am happy so say we are now forever friends 🧡. Also I Can't leave review without mentioning Mairead and Conor they are fantastic managers and again can't do enough for you. Overall I highly recommend Kinnitty Castle for everything. And I will be back annually.My fairytale wedding, Visted Kinnitty castle back over 6 years ago and went there every year after that i decided if I was ever to get married that it would be there.

Magnificent is the only word..Magnificent is the only word..
Magnificent is the only word to describe our Wedding at Kinnitty Castle in September. We only booked the venue in May ,but from start to finish the whole planning of our day was seamless, professional and without any stress. The food and wine on the day were superb. Every guest commented on the quality and excellence of every course. We couldn't thank Kori and Mary enough for their fantastic care of us and every detail at every contact.

We couldn't recommend Kinnitty enough. From the first moment we stepped foot in the castle two years ago up until our wedding day we have been looked after so well. No detail was too much for Kori, Mairead and their team. Since our wedding numerous guests have contacted us, all stating that it was such a relaxed day and went so flawlessly and this was down to the hard work put in by all at Kinnitty. We couldn't be more grateful and look forward to returning again. We couldn't recommend Kinnitty enough.
