A real wedding experience

If you're seeking to celebrate your special day amidst the splendour of the Kingdom, Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa is located in the heart of County Kerry and has been a choice for couples celebrating their weddings for over six decades.

This family-owned and operated hotel, run by three generations of the McGillicuddy family, has earned its place among the respected venues, ranking in the top 1 per cent of hotels worldwide on TripAdvisor.

In December 2021, the hotel introduced The Lodge at Ballygarry, a new ceremony venue designed with a focus on destination weddings. The Lodge draws inspiration from New England-style barns and serves as an ideal setting for civil, spiritualist, or humanist ceremonies.

Situated on a 180 acre estate, The Lodge is a rustic standalone building with a prominent gable window offering picturesque views of the Kerry Mountains. It also features a loft conversion, perfect for musicians or additional guests. The Lodge combines the appeal of an outdoor wedding ceremony with the comfort of an indoor venue, making it a suitable choice for couples seeking a memorable destination wedding.

For those who choose to say ‘I do’ at Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa, they can exchange vows in The Lodge, host a reception in The Pavilion, and savour a delicious meal in The Monarch suite.

The hotel also offers a range of amenities for newlyweds and their guests, including beautifully landscaped gardens and the tranquil Nádúr Spa, which recently added a new thermal garden.
