Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

The Hotel venue is stunning and very beautiful no matter the weather. With Kerry, you are not guaranteed weather and the hotel, wedding area and wedding rooms are perfect for any style wedding.
The staff here give you 5 star service and are extremely accommodating. This includes everyone from Reservations (Regina), Management (Garrett), Wedding Restaurant ( Chris and team) and Wedding Co-ordinator/planner ( Orla). They could not be faulted in any way. Upon booking a consultation, we were greeted and shown around and instantly you fall in love with the venue. The fittings, furniture and layout will take any stress from you and your wedding guests away on the day and planning period. Little worries become nothing when the team take care of it.
With regards to the special day, it went very smoothly. We were allowed use the hotel for photos and spa area even though we were not in the main hotel for the reception, as like above the weather was awful. However from talking to our guests they were hugely impressed with the wedding venue and staff. The food was to die for. You want to pick everything because its so delicious. And you want to eat everything too. You will not be disappointed.
Our wedding Co-ordinator Orla was fantastic. Any questions, whether from team calls or appointments or finalising details, she was extremely knowledgeable, professional accommodating in whatever we chose. Its difficult making these decisions as you want you and your guests to have a great day. With Orla and the team, they take the difficult part out and make it easy for you. You could not be in better hands, as she was extremely helpful to not just the bride and groom but also to the bridal and grooms party.
The accommodation is beautiful also, the rooms carefully decorated and suited to both singles, families and couples. Its a place where you don't want to leave. Reservations (Regina) answered every ask we had regarding triple rooms or rooms beside each other.
What makes this hotel special is not just that its in the most beautiful place in the world(Killarney) but that its a one wedding hotel. You are the centre of attention and thats whats wanted on your special day. We cannot recommend Muckross Park Hotel enough.
A wedding at Muckross Park Hotel is not just a wedding, its a magical life event that will be with us for the rest of our lives.

Can?t recommend muckross park enough, my friends are still talking about it. The room, food, service, everything was amazing.


Orla and Niall make the most wonderful team and nothing is too much of a bother to them. So kind, flexible, and professional.


So glad we chose to have our wedding here!

Nothing but happy brilliant memories of our wedding in Muckross Park Hotel. From the minute we walked into the hotel back in February 2023, we knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding reception. Its a rare gem to find a venue that blends 5 star luxury and professionalism with a fun and welcoming ambience.
Orla was a breath of fresh air to work with in the months coming up to the wedding. No idea was off limits and she worked tirelessly to bring to life all the special moments of our day. Her calm confident presence reassured us that we made the right choice in venue and everything would land just right on the day regardless if things didn't go to plan.
Weather conditions on the day meant we needed to have our drinks reception indoors - Orla, Niall and team made all the necessary movements without any interruption to the celebrations. From shoe shining to car washes, flower deliveries to LED light up wristbands, nothing phased Orla or Niall and they took care of all the random tasks with a smile. This sort of friendly professionalism is a rare find!
All our guests couldn't speak more highly of their experience staying at Muckross Park. Great fun and craic was had in the Monks lounge the day before the wedding and most took advantage of the Spa and National Park to knock off the cobwebs.
So glad we chose Muckross Park for our wedding celebrations and would recommened without hesitation to any future couples.
We can't wait to get back down and know for sure it will be our special place of choice anytime we are in the Kingdom. Well done to all the staff and management (in particular Orla!) - you made our day:-)

We had our wedding day on 6th October 2023. Our drinks reception was in the Atrium and our meal was in the Abbey Suite.

Orla and Niall couldn't have done enough for us. Everyone thought the food and hotel rooms were exceptional and the service was flawless.

Everything was just perfect and we are so happy we chose Muckross Park Hotel for our wedding day.

Couldn't fault the hotel. It was a fantastic and memorable day and feedback from our guests was that it was one of the best weddings they've attended. Orla O'Driscoll was a pleasure to deal with from day one of meeting her. Niall on the day was excellent. Attention on the day received was second to none. Thank you all for making our day amazing !!!

Beautiful venue, we used all of the suites, and it worked out perfectly. Orla was wonderful to work with and worked cohesively with our wedding planning team. The food was spectacular, everyone raved about it. The hospitality and attentiveness was above and beyond. I highly recommend this venue.

I highly recommend Muckross Park Hotel for your wedding. They went above and beyond to make our day so special. The venue is spectecular and the surrounding areas for photos is stunning. The food was delicious and the staff were just exceptional, they couldn't do enough for us. This should be your number one choice for your wedding venue.

Our wedding reception was held at Muckross Park Hotel. The Valentia Suite looked absolutely incredible, and everything went so smoothly and without a glitch on the day. In the run up to the wedding, Orla and Niall were on hand to answer our queries, ensuring that our most perfect day was planned to the last detail. They showed great professionalism and attention to detail as we planned our wedding day. Words cannot describe how well our guests were looked after by Niall and the team on the day. We received fabulous feedback from our guests who had the best time over the course of the evening in the Muckross Park Hotel; the staff were attentive, and the food was simply excellent. Guests have been saying it was the best wedding they have been to in years! I want to thank you Orla and Niall for all your hard work that went into making our day so special, and for helping us make our wedding day an occasion we will always remember.

Huge compliments to all the staff in Muckross. The Wedding Co-ordinator was very welcoming; warm and efficient. The Banqueting Manager was very pleasant and calm and had the service run very smoothly. The food was well complimented by guests and they really enjoyed the hotel facilities including the spa.

Planning our wedding at Muckross Park Hotel was everything we could wish for an more and this is completely down to the exceptional wedding team, led by Orla and Niall.

We booked our wedding in the middle of Covid and on and off restrictions. We currently live in Liverpool and we initially had a video call with the wedding team to speak about what we would like for our day and making initial plans and if this was doable. We instantly loved the venue and knew that it was a venue that we had to visit in person. The hotel hold your date for you for an initial 2 weeks to help you have time to think about what you want to do and decide. However, with the pandemic, we couldn't get back until 4 months after our initial Zoom call. This was no problem for Orla, who was beyond obliging and held our date for us for when we could eventually get over. Orla was new to the hotel at the time but was incredibly knowledgable and was able to answer everything we wanted to ask.

In the months/years preceding the initial booking, Orla was outstanding. She kept communication open at all times and was quick to respond to any questions I had during the planning process. Nothing was too big or too much and Orla was always incredibly friendly. She was also more than happy to arrange an additional Zoom closer to our date when I needed clarification on a few bits through a conversation. We were so grateful.

On the day before the wedding, the impeccable service continued. Niall was around to welcome our guest arriving from the UK but he also made time to show Ross and I around. He offered some last minute guidance and tips before the big day and allowed us to make any last minute changes that came from his suggestions. He even went to additional lengths to ensure I was hidden from guests before walking down the aisle.

On the day of the wedding, the experience continued. Orla and Niall greeted my bridal party, Dad and I when we arrived. They didn't rush us and allowed us to take our time to take some pictures. When it was time to go to the aisle, both Niall and Orla were there every step to help us and ensure it went smoothly. Niall told us when to go and Orla gave some last second words of wisdom to help with the nerves. When I got to the end of the aisle, they were both on hand to fix my train and we couldn't have asked for more. After the ceremony was finished. Niall was on hand at every step of the day for anything that we needed. He was really accommodating to my bridal party, family and guests. He was incredibly calm throughout the day which is always a huge plus on the day of your wedding.

I will always be incredibly grateful for Orla, Niall and the rest of the wedding team at Muckross for helping us create such a wonderful wedding for us, our guests and family - especially those travelling from the UK and who got to experience the good Killarney has to offer.

I honestly hope that my review will do this Hotel justice. We had our Full Wedding Day, Ceremony and Dinner Reception at the Muckross Park Hotel on Friday 17th March 2023.
From the minute we arrived the day before our wedding every single detail was looked after. The Hotel staff were utterly exceptional, helping us get organized and ready for our big day.
The Thursday night we stayed in two of the self catering apartaments, one for the bride with her bridesmaids and one for the groom with his groomsmen. The apartment took us by surprise, they were absolutely immaculate, very spacious and the perfect place to wake up on your wedding morning.
We had the Infinity Package for our wedding so the whole wedding journey was such a breeze for us, this package supplied us our Photographer, Makeup and Hair, Band and Dj, Flowers and All Decorations.
The wedding morning itself was extremely relaxed. Joanne henderson (Hairdresser) and Sandra Flynn (makeup artist) were absolutely unbelievable. They worked together like a dream, everything flowed so naturally and easy making the whole morning such a beautiful memory.
The photographer who was also supplied by the Hotel, Micheal O? Sullivan was just simply terrific. He made all the pictures feel so easy and natural. Micheal has such a great personality making all the photos so fun to do.
We had our Wedding Ceremony in the Atrium, and there isn?t a good enough word to describe the beauty of this particular room. It is just utterly breathtaking! The hotel staff had this space arranged and decorated to perfection.
Our Dinner Reception was in the Abbey Suite. A stunning room with such a warm vibe, all the tables were set up so beautifully with excellent attention to detail, the candles all around the room set such a romantic mood.
Our guests commented that the food was some of the best they had ever had at a wedding and we completely agree!
The bar and wait staff were beyond attentive and professional, the whole dinner service ran so smoothly and was extremely enjoyable.
The band Arklight who was supplied by the hotel were out of this world. This is all our guests spoke about for days after our wedding. Finbarr and the rest of the band are super talented. We are extremely grateful to Muckross Park for getting them for us. The night would never of been the same without these lads.
The wedding Coordinators Niall and Orla.
We would like to give a special mention to Niall who has to be the calmest man I have ever met, absolutely nothing phases him. Niall is a total gentleman who assisted us throughout the whole lot of the wedding day - Niall is absolutely fantastic at his job!
During the whole wedding planning journey and general build up to the big day we had Orla who was just brilliant from start to finish.
Orla?s professionalism and excellent organisational skills made the preparation for our wedding day seamless.
Orla was always quick to respond and bent over backwards to help us with any queries or worries - she?s such an asset to the hotel!
We will be forever thankful to Orla for helping make our wedding an absolute dream.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the Muckross Park Hotel for a wedding venue - It was truly exceptional.

Fantastic service & hotel could say enough so helpful and flexible

We were so happy that we choose the Muckross Park hotel for our Wedding Reception in October. What a beautiful venue!! Orla & Niall were a dream & nothing was ever a problem or any trouble. They made the whole experience even better! The drinks reception & room (We had the Valentia suite) were set up so beautifully, the room was so elegant & more than we could have hoped for on the day. The food was amazing! Everyone loved it & are still talking about it. The service was fabulous! I would highly recommend the Muckross Park to host your wedding day. (If only we could do it all over again ????) Thank you to all the staff who helped make our wedding day simply perfect.

We could not rate Muckross Park Hotel highly enough, from the planning stages right through to our wedding day and weekend. The staff at Muckross are beyond amazing; professional, friendly, so helpful and so easy to work with - I actually miss talking with the wedding planner Orla; she is absolutely fantastic at her job but also just an all round lovely person! Our wedding was PERFECT, we honestly would not change a thing about it and wish we could do it all over again! Our guests were so impressed with the entire weekend and every single person there mentioned how wonderful the staff were. You will not regret choosing Muckross Park Hotel as your wedding venue, but you will regret not choosing it!!!

We had our wedding at the Muckross Park in September 2022 and we are absolutely thrilled with our choice of venue.
From the day we booked the venue to the actual day itself, everything was perfect.

The staff went above and beyond for any request that was made. Our guests absolutely adored the hotel. Food was delicious and we are still getting compliments to this day regarding the meal and how much the staff went above and beyond.

The decor that they offered with their wedding packages was beautiful. The bridal suite was brilliant - from having enough space for 6 adults to get ready to still being romantic for the bride and groom. They even had our room decorated for us with rose petals and another bottle of Prosecco after the wedding which was a nice touch. All our guests were thrilled with their rooms and spoke about how lovely the rooms were.

It is an absolute dream to have your wedding here. I can't thank the staff at Muckross enough, they really made our day. Nothing was too big or too small for them. Special shoutout to Orla, Niall and Oisin who were absolutely fantastic.

Big plus, they were really flexible for any changes we made and everything just ran smoothly. If I could, I would relive that day over again and again at the Muckross

We cannot speak highly enough about Muckross Park Hotel and Spa.

We are 100% delighted with our choice of Muckross Park Hotel and Spa for our wedding venue.

We have been wowed each time we have been at the hotel by the friendliness and professionalism of all staff we were in contact with at our viewing, meal tasting and wedding.

We have had so many compliments about the food and service on our wedding day.

We had our wedding reception in the Muckross Park Hotel on the 31st December 2021. If anybody is looking for a luxurious wedding venue, in a stunning location, with exceptional food and top class staff then look no further. We were blown away by the professionalism of everyone working in the hotel. The lead up to our wedding was challenging given changes to government guidelines and new restrictions but the Muckross Park went above and beyond their call of duty. The enthusiasm and kindness they showed us for our day with weddings back to back all week was incredible. If there were 10 stars we would give them. We are bursting with pride with the experience our guests received. If you have your wedding here, it will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thank you again to everyone, especially Orla, Niall and Caroline. It is a pleasure to work with people so excellent at what they do.

From the first time myself and Gordon stayed in the Muckross Park Hotel 3 years ago we fell in love, everything from the surroundings and spa to the food are exceptional, not to mention the staff who are the most amazing team of people you will ever meet! When we got engaged there was only ever one hotel that took our breath away! From the moment we met Bernie, the hotels wedding coordinator, we knew we were in the best possible hands! Bernie, Madina and the entire staff of Muckross Park Hotel made planning our wedding so easy and nothing was ever too much trouble! We were made feel so special on every visit to the hotel! Our wedding day itself was simply a dream, absolutely perfect! All of our guests were amazed by the beautiful surroundings of the Atrium, where we held our drinks reception, and decor of the Valencia Suite. Our guests were also blown away by the standard of food on the day, people are still commenting on it months later! Myself and Gordon have been back to stay at Muckross Park since the wedding, it is simply our favourite place. The staff yet again made us feel so welcome and special, it is the most amazing hotel! Thank you to Bernie, Madina & everyone at Muckross Park for making our wedding the most unforgettable day of our lives!

It is difficult to know where to begin in expressing how we feel about Muckross Park Hotel and its? staff. We are not natives of Killarney but from the first moment that we set foot in Muckross Park, we felt at home and knew right then and there that it was going to be our wedding venue. Bernie very kindly met with us ? unplanned, that first evening and that was the beginning of our very special journey with both Bernie and the hotel.
Over the next year and a half, we made many trips to Muckross Park from Galway and each time, we were made feel so welcome and treated like royalty. We knew that we were in the most incredible hands and when we met with our wedding co-ordinator Madina, we felt as if we had won the lotto! She ensured that each and every detail of our wedding was organised with exceptional professionalism. While she is incredible at her job, she also makes you feel as if you have known her forever. She is extremely personable and not only are you in the hands of an amazing wedding co-ordinator, you also gain a very good friend who is there for you throughout the process.
Each and every member of staff whom we encountered along the way made us feel as if we were V.I.P.?s. They carry out every aspect of their jobs with the highest of standards and always go above and beyond their duties. From the fabulous accommodation, to the impeccable service, to the most delicious food, we could not have asked for more, both in the lead up to and on our big day. Our wedding guests still talk about the beautiful hotel in the heart of Killarney. We felt as if we were living out a true life fairy-tale during our wedding weekend and the staff at Muckross Park played a massive role in that.
We will be forever grateful and only wish that we could do it all over again! The staff are absolute experts at what they do and any couple who is lucky enough to have their wedding there, is truly blessed. It is an exceptionally special hotel and we will forever hold a special place in our hearts for both it and its? wonderful staff.

We were thrilled with our wedding in The Muckross Park Hotel. From the first day we walked in to view the venue we were shown such professionalism and dedication from all staff. From that initial meeting we knew we could trust them with our special day. All our guests commented on how beautiful the hotel was and on the superb food.
Throughout the planning process they were always available to help and answered all of our queries very promptly. Any request we had was listened to and acted upon.
A fantastic hotel with very dedicated and friendly staff. In a picturesque setting.

Outstanding, I'd recommend Muckross Park to any couple getting married. From the 1st time I went to view the venue all the way up to and including the wedding their professionalism was 100%. Bernie was our wedding planner she was so lovely and I felt she really understood what I wanted and needed. Niall, well what can I say you made everything so seamless for us a million thank yous! Madina I felt like you were the 4th bridesmaid you helped so much that weekend. The hotel is stunning the food was delicious. All of the staff in Muckross were fantastic. Our guests said the check in staff made them feel special and made a fuss out of them. I've had comments of praise for the hotel from everyone who attended. I'm so happy we picked Muckross park for our wedding. Thank you all again. Anne-Marie & Shane xx

I can't recommend the Muckross Park enough. Everything from our first viewing to our big day and beyond our expectations. Bernie, Niall and all the staff were amazing. Anything we could possibly need done was done to perfection. Nothing was any trouble and we had such a relaxing day as a result. We arrived the night before and got married in the hotel. The function rooms were just perfect. To all future brides and grooms, definitely have a viewing. The hotel has a new infinity package which if I was getting married again would definitely get this package. We had most of the suppliers included in this package on our big day, they were out of this world. Food was so good we are still hearing about how great the whole wedding was and we are now nearly 2 months on. Wish we could do it all again was such an brilliant experience working with Bernie and Niall. Honestly best team I could have worked with on the day.

Fabulous venue, unreal food. Value for money, excellent location...extremely helpful staff.

From Day 1, at our initial consultation to our wedding day. We were treated to every one of our wishes, we would recommend Muckross to anyone(we already have).

We had our wedding at the Muckross Park Hotel last Christmas (December 2018) and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need and did so in such a friendly and professional manner. The hotel itself was exquisite and looked absolutely spectacular on the day. The food both on the day and for the day after party was out of this world and our guests were extremely impressed. We had such a wonderful day and experience at the Muckross Park Hotel, I just wish I could do it all again. Thank you! Grace & Frank x

The staff of the muckross Park were fantastic. They were extremely helpful. If there was any problem Beirne was only a phone call away and was always there to help. On the the day the staff were amazing along with the venue. Food was incredible and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Niall Tagney was the manager on the day and he could not of been more helpful. With the lead up to the wedding he was so professional and really took good care of us. We had the best day ever and could not recommend the muckross Park team more. The reservations team and Caroline were always in contact making sure all our guests were looked after.

It really was a fantastic venue!

I couldn?t recommend the Muckross Park Hotel highly enough. So professional and very easy to deal with. The day itself exceeded all our expectations. All our guests were so impressed by the level of service and the food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and all our requests were met. We also had our day 2 in major colgans bar in the hotel. Staff and management here were also exceptional. You are in safe hands if you book your wedding at the Muckross Park Hotel

Everything was A1 couldn?t do enough for us

What a beautiful hotel, from the beginning in terms of wedding planning advice and cost saving advice you are in the most professional of hands with Bernie she cannot do enough for you.
Our wedding co Ordinator Niall and hotel Manager Veepal were so precise to the highest of standards. The Abbey suite was magically beautifully decorated, all our guests were truly impressed, to this day they rave about how beautiful the food at our wedding was.
The events team certainly outdid themselves, their effort, understanding and accommodating kindness made both me, Dara, and our four young children the most perfect, relaxed and intimate wedding day that we could have dreamed of. They take care of absolutely everything from the moment you arrive to when you leave. They are phenomenal.
Our next day wedding party buffet went down a storm with our guests, Veepal went above and beyond with accommodating kindness to make this day the most perfect day in every way possible.
Danny?s professional genuine care over the entire weekend for us and our children, one being a very challenging free-spirited toddler, not to mention my wedding and bridesmaid dress dilemma?s when we arrived was like having your very best friend personally looking after you.
We would highly recommend this hotel to any couple planning a wedding in Killarney for there attention to detail, professionalism, precision and excellence, a truly beautiful hotel experience and their kindness and genuine care.

We were married in the Muckross Park Hotel (MPH) on May 19 of this year and there is literally nothing we could fault! The whole experience from start to finish was the best we could have hoped for. All the staff at the MPH are a credit to the hotel, there was no job too big or too small for them. From the porters, accommodation assistants, wait staff, wedding staff, and management - everyone went above and beyond for our weekend.

We had our wedding ceremony there in the Abbey Suite, our drinks reception in the Atrium, and our wedding reception in the Valencia Suite. All three suites are beautiful and well appointed, and the layout ensures there's a good flow to the day and everyone stays together.

Special thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator Madina. She really is top class and one of a kind. She gave us lots of ideas for our drinks reception which our guests were raving about afterwards, and most importantly she kept us calm and organised and made sure the day ran to schedule.

We cannot thank the staff at the MPH enough for making our wedding weekend so special and so memorable.

Highly recommend this hotel!! They made planning a wedding from the other side of the world so easy.

Couples can come under a lot of stress coming up to the wedding
Our wedding co ordinator James couldn?t do enough for us and was very helpful even when I turned slight bridezilla
Muckross strive to be the best and on the day they delivered
I wish I could do it again
Everyone is still talking about our wedding
Any staff you meet are lovely from Caroline at reception dealing with our accommodation to breakfast and bar staff
From initial booking right through to our special day I couldn?t fault it
Highly recommend muckross for a wedding

Big, Big, Big thank you to James, Caroline, Bernie and the team in Muckross Park Hotel for ensuring that our wedding on the 18th of November was the best day ever! Our wedding was everything that we hoped for and more! We were so lucky to be the first wedding held in the function room which is just WOW! James (our wedding coordinator) has the unique ability to allow you to follow your wedding vision but also add excelling ideas, advise etc! It was like having our own Franc! He is so relaxed and facilitated every request we had, it really made the planning process so enjoyable! He was off the day prior to our wedding and even rang me to make sure everything was OK on arrival. He is just amazing. The food was exceptional, our guests are still taking about how it and how everyone in the hotel went above and beyond to welcome the Cork contingent. Big thank you to Caroline for all her help with the logistics/rooms etc. We would highly recommend Muckross Park Hotel as a wedding venue and day after after after party venue as we well as we hosted both days there. It exceeded all expectation. 5 stars are not enough! Thank you so much! PS: Not a usual choice for a wedding but the turkey and ham was a massive hit with our guests.

From the moment we met with Niall in the Muckross Park Hotel we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. Everything we asked for was accommodated without fuss or hesitation. Niall and his staff went above and beyond for us and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My only fault was that the day passed by so quickly.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we knew this is where we wanted our wedding. We had our humanist ceremony in the Atrium followed by the reception upstairs in the Abbey Suite. We live abroad, but organising the wedding was so easy with the team who were always on hand to help and so flexible with all of our requests. We had an amazing day with plenty of complaints from the guests, particularly about the Atrium for the ceremony. Thank you so much to all of the team!
