Pleasure to deal with
As a wedding supplier, I have the pleasure of working with many venues, and I can confidently say that Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel stands out as one of the best. The team at this venue is incredibly professional, organized, and genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for every couple and their guests. The staff at Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel goes above and beyond to collaborate seamlessly with all vendors, ensuring the day runs smoothly from start to finish. Their communication is top-notch, and they’re always prepared, accommodating, and detail-oriented, which makes the setup and coordination process a breeze. The space itself is stunning and adaptable, allowing for endless creativity to match each couple’s vision. Every corner of the venue is impeccably maintained, and the atmosphere they create makes for an incredibly special experience. It’s truly a joy to work here, and it’s clear that they prioritize quality and elegance in every aspect. For any couple searching for a venue that works wonderfully with other vendors and creates an exceptional experience for everyone involved, I highly recommend Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel. It’s a top choice for both couples and wedding professionals alike! Julia Wedding Decor Love at First Sight

The ballroom was breathtaking
We had our wedding in Kilkenny Ormonde this summer. Venue is absolutely fantastic. The ballroom was breathtaking, everything was done and set up just as we wanted. We were planning our wedding from abroad, but nothing seemed like a trouble at all. Food was amazing everything from arrivals to the afters buffet and it was plenty of it. Bridal suite was amazing and we even received little bag from the hotel with cards and voucher. Massive thank you to you all.

Nothing was a trouble for their staff.
We chose Ormonde Hotel because of it's fantastic location, friendly staff and amazing food. Our guests are still talking about how welcome they felt and how their every need was attended. Our civil ceremony room was fantastic, we had red carpet in the room and lanterns on each side of the Aisle. We also had few songs for the entrance, signing and leaving. Nothing was a trouble for their staff. Massive thank you to Kate and Stephen and all the staff on the day who were so efficient and friendly.

We had unforgettable wedding in Ormonde Hotel
We had unforgettable wedding in Ormonde Hotel. We loved O'Reilly's bar as an exclusive drinks reception area for our guests. Ballroom looked fantastic and so did the bridal suite which was complimentary for two nights. Staff and all the managers were so helpful and friendly. All our guests felt welcomed. Food and service were top notch. Special thanks to Kate, Sinead and Mags. Nikki

Would highly recommend this venue
We want to thank all of the team in Kilkenny Ormonde hotel for making our day so memorable. They were very helpful all along, and nothing seemed like a trouble, as we were not one of the most organized couple. Ballroom looked stunning and staff were extremely efficient. Mags, a lady who served out table was extremely friendly and made us laugh, especially when we were so nervous through our speeches. Food was amazing, portions were very generous and presentation was exquisite.

To ensure you both have some time together during the wedding day, just the two of you. Be it during the car journey from ceremony to hotel or a little breather after photos. It is a lovely busy time so don't forget to check in with one another.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A recent bride made her own dress, so beautiful. Another couple had their own table numbers from 1 to 10. Each sign was a photo of the bride and groom individually at the age of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc........it was incredibly cute and a great talking point at tables.
