Sharon and Ciara were exceptional too deal with and nothing was a problem. On the day Anthony and noel were great and all the staff. The room was laid out fabulously and the background for the photos was just magical.

- MMr & Mrs Asling09/10/2024BEST WEEKEND OF OUR LIVES! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!BEST WEEKEND OF OUR LIVES! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!Starting with my first initial enquiry with Sharon I was given excellent customer service, a personal 1:1 show round appointment and booked our big day with 2 years to go. With endless emails sent i was never a bother to the wedding team and honestly made me feel as though i had gained a friend in Sharon rather than a wedding coordinator just doing her job.Starting with my first initial enquiry with Sharon I was given excellent customer service, a personal 1:1 show round appointment and booked our big day with 2 years to go.

- RRebecca & James09/10/2024The Kilkenny River Court Hotel is second to nonThe Kilkenny River Court Hotel is second to nonWhere do I start, the Kilkenny River Court Hotel is second to non. Myself and Husband James were and are the luckiest couple to call the Kilkenny River Court our wedding venue. Sharon, Keira, Marcella are the names of the most fantastic wedding coordinators that always responded to my ENDLESS emails. As endless as they were as we live in the UK I had so many questions, queries, asks, wants, needs; the emails were always responded to like no question was ever too complicated.Where do I start, the Kilkenny River Court Hotel is second to non.

- DDeirdre and Gerry13/08/2024The Dream TeamThe Dream TeamWe had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Rivercourt hotel in July 2023. And from the planning of the wedding, our stay, and the reception itself, the hotel and staff were fantastic. Can we add a particular mention to Eric , Anthony and of course our fantastic wedding planner Sharon ( the dream team) who could not have done more for us. We could not recommend The Rivercourt highly enough. It is a beautiful hotel with a perfect backdrop of Kilkenny castle for our wedding.We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Rivercourt hotel in July 2023.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of the most touching personal touches we've seen at a wedding was when the couple wrote handwritten letters to each guest, each one uniquely personal. As we were printing them, we couldn't help but be moved by the thoughtfulness and emotion in every word. It was a beautiful gesture that brought tears to our eyes and left a lasting impact on everyone who attended.
