The wedding venue we're talking about today is the kind of place you'll find yourself daydreaming about for years after your visit. A private manor house perched on a stunning Killarney estate, Cahernane House Hotel is brimming with personality, and, after a recent renovation, is looking better than ever! Boasting breathtaking views of Killarney National Park, Cahernane House Hotel caters for intimate weddings of up to 70 guests. You and your guests won't want to leave this magical venue, so it's handy that the house also boasts 40 gorgeous bedrooms!
The Space at Cahernane House Hotel
Cahernane House Hotel is one of those venues that masterfully treads the line between old and new. Reopened in early 2018 after a €6.5 million refurbishment, the house itself has managed to retain its Victorian charm through original portrait paintings, antique furniture and open log fires, while still feeling polished and luxurious. Couples can choose between a number of elegant reception rooms including the Herbert Restaurant, Drawing Room and Library, and for ceremonies, there are a number of options both inside and outside, including the stunning Conservatory.
The Vibe at Cahernane House Hotel Weddings
Cahernane's location in the Kerry countryside, together with its beautifully-maintained gardens make it a really special place to hole up for a day (or a weekend!) with your nearest and dearest. Of course, it helps that the estate is exclusively yours for your wedding, and that it's full of little nooks and crannies to explore, including the adorably cosy Cellar bar in the basement. If your dream wedding venue is serene and peaceful (with capacity for a big ol' party, of course!), this might be the one for you!

The Food and Drink at Cahernane House Hotel Weddings
With head chef Eric Kavanagh (formerly of Longueville House and Sheen Falls) running the kitchen, you're guaranteed a wedding meal to remember at Cahernane House.

Don't worry, it's possible to have them all!)
