The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Earl of Desmond Hotel has it all ...
THE Earl of Desmond Hotel has been a popular wedding venue for years and it’s not difficult to see why. The hotel has an excellent choice of rooms for wedding guests, the gardens are mature and landscaped, making for great photo opportunities. The staff themselves are highly trained and utterly professional and they have built their reputations on providing countless couples with the wedding day of their dreams.
Norella Mansfield herself is an example of this. She recently won the prestigious Brides of Kerry Wedding Coordinator of the Year Award, proving once again just how exceptional the service at the Earl of Desmond can be.
Superior service isn’t all the hotel has to offer. There is the elegant function room, which can cater for all sizes of wedding. It can seat anything from 120 to 380 guests thanks to a partition wall which divides the room in two.
The function room also has mood lighting which can be adapted to suit your needs. “We can change the colour of the lighting to suit your theme or even the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses,” says Norella. “If you tell us what you want, we will do our best to make it happen for you.”
The hotel’s bridal room is utterly romantic. It’s bright and spacious and it’s even got its own jacuzzi. You couldn’t imagine a better place to spend your first night as husband and wife.
Photographers are always impressed with the Earl of Desmond as it’s a hotel that offers lots of photo opportunities, inside and out. Inside, there’s the atmospheric Geraldine Room, the bright lobby and the spacious bar area. Outside, there are gardens to the front and rear of the building as well as a wooded walkway leading to the river. This is a hotel that does everything it can to turn every couple’s dream wedding into a reality. It doesn’t matter if you want a civil ceremony in the company of a small group of family and friends followed by an intimate reception or a huge church wedding followed by a night of feasting, singing and dancing; the Earl of Desmond will make it happen for you.
