Weddings 2016/2017

Your Special Day

Congratulations to you both

,

and thank you so much for considering The Kildare House Hotel for your special day. The Kildare House Hotel is a newly renovated 21 bedroom hotel in the heart of Kildare town. The hotel has the welcoming ambiance of a country house however only thirty minutes from Dublin. The elegant ballroom can seat up to 160 guests and is a wonderful wedding venue. The hotel itself has 2 bars, The Gallops , a very popular bar/restaurant serving fine food all day and The Saddle Bar, which is available privately for wedding parties. All the bedrooms have been recently renovated , they are all en-suite with satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. There is ample parking to the front of the hotel.

2 really beautiful churches - The Carmelite White Abbey Church and St Brighids Cathedral. The National Stud and Japanese gardens are only 5 mins Kildare town has the advantage of having

away where the wedding party can take their wedding photos, this is included in the wedding package. The hotel is also only a 5 minute walk to

Kildare village outlet shopping, perhaps something

that might appeal to your guests!! Kildare town is only five minutes off the main M7 motorway and only 30 minutes from Dublin. Kildare town is serviced extremely well by Irish Rail and Bus Eireann. We highly recommend a viewing and we would be delighted to meet with you and discuss any requirements for your special day.
