Dromhall Hotel
A magical day awaits you in the heart of Killarney Can you think of a more perfect setting to hold your wedding celebrations than at a historic hotel set in the beautiful surroundings of Killarney? Dromhall Hotel was originally a hunting lodge, used in past times by the aristocracy visiting the famous Killarney lakes and mountains. Over 55 years ago, it was purchased by the Randles family and metamorphosed into the supremely elegant venue it is today. The Randles still
run Dromhall Hotel and thus you are sure of not only gracious surroundings and superb service, but also that personal touch which comes with family involvement. It has always been this Kerry family’s mission to give every single guest the individual attention that the hosts of a stately
home would, from fine dining and exquisite food, to a warm smiling welcome. The stunning Banqueting Suite and recently redecorated arrival reception area can cater for weddings of 80 to 320 guests, with a selection of options available for your special day, ranging from tailor-made occasions to reflect your individuality to all-inclusive packages which take all the worry and stress out of your planning. A fairy light backdrop and
mood lighting in the room are just two of the many generous items that are included in their wedding packages. Another complimentary offering is the wedding car, which will get you to the church on time and then off to your chosen photographic locations in the beautiful surrounds of Killarney’s iconic landscape, before whisking you back to the hotel. The hotel’s chauffeur, Larry, will ensure you get the royal Kingdom treatment and will put you completely at ease by providing a little picnic hamper for the newlyweds - who often forget to eat on their special day. They really do think of everything at the Dromhall! With over 50 years of experience, the Randles family know exactly how to make this most special of occasions perfect. And yes, they are fully registered to provide civil ceremonies also. Just talk to the experts at the Dromhall Hotel and see what this wonderful venue in the heart of Killarney has to offer. Bernadette Randles, the hotel’s Managing Director, along with the hotel’s Wedding Coordinator Ciara, are always available to chat about your very special day. You can call them on 064 6639300 for more information. Dromhall Hotel Muckross Rd, Dromhale, Killarney T: 064 663 9300
