A Love Story 170 Years in the making

"There aren't enough words to express our gratitude to Christina, Jillian, Stephen and all the team for making our day so special. We had the most incredible day and everything ran so seamlessly thanks to you all. From our first video call, Christina has been amazing to deal with, always being so kind, helpful and patient. A lot of people have commented on how the day was so well organised when we were living and arranging from abroad, but the credit must go to Christina for organising and supporting us in decisions especially when things were quite overwhelming. Christina, you are brilliant at what you do and we are so grateful to have worked with you throughout. Again, a huge thank you to Christina and the team. We look forward to being back again soon for a visit as The Great Southern is a very special place to us now." ... read more

"To say that the Great Southern was beyond amazing for our wedding would genuinely be an understatement. Everything from the the beautiful venue itself with all of the gorgeous Christmas decorations, to the food, to the best service we have ever received anywhere was beyond exceptional and more than what we expected. In particular, Ciara, Jillian and Ray honestly made our day. From the moment we booked The Great Southern for our wedding to the wedding day, everyone was so friendly, helpful and efficient and it made our lives so much for easier knowing that everything was being looked after and we could relax and enjoy the day. They were honestly the nicest people to spend the day with. We absolutely loved our wedding at the Great Southern and would love to do it all again! Thank you to everyone for making our day so special." ... read more

"Thank you, Christina, Jillian and Stephen, and everyone else who looked after us from Thursday to Sunday! Honestly it was the best weekend ever! From the minute we arrived we felt so looked after it was honestly excellent! All our guests complimented the set up, the food everything! Especially to Christina, Jillian and Stephen, ye were so good to Cathal and I. Each of ye were so understanding as to what Cathal had been through & what he needed and we really really appreciate it. Ye took every bit of stress away and made the whole thing run smoothly! From the minute we came down back in May 2024, the service we have received has been exceptional. My dad said if any of his other two daughters get married it will be hard to go past the Great Southern, that’s how impressed they all are! Thank each one of ye so much for making last weekend the best weekend of our lives!" ... read more

"Andrew and I would like to sincerely thank you all for our wonderful wedding experience! We were blown away by the attention to detail, effort and level of service we received. The warmth, accommodating attitudes and just top tier Irish hospitality that we and our guests enjoyed made our wedding week the best of our lives. The reception room in particular blew me away! I was in shock and had to pinch myself many times while looking out at all our guests. It was so beautiful, my favourite I’ve ever seen!! Christina and Jillian worked very hard to make our vision a reality and we are so so thankful to you all. Jillian was incredible throughout this experience and especially on the day, dubbed the MVP of the wedding day by our bridal party. There was never a hand without a fresh espresso martini in it! She made sure everything was just perfect for us and worked so hard. Stephen during the evening was so helpful and I think was terrified when I was lifted in the air on the dance floor. Ray during the dinner service was unbelievably attentive! Sean at the door the whole weekend all gave us special memories we will cherish as we came in and out all week. I hope I will never plan another wedding again in my life, but I will look back at the memories so fondly. And if I know anyone looking to get married in Ireland, I will highly recommend the Great Southern!" ... read more

"We always knew we wanted to get married in the Great Southern and we are so happy with our decision. From the very beginning when we first reached out to even now after celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary we were treated like royalty. A lot of our guests had never been to the hotel before or even to Kerry and to this day they still say how it was one of the most beautiful venues they had ever been in for a wedding." ... read more

Food tasting was able to be done. All emails were answered promptly and well planned zoom call for final details. They got an alcoholic drink in for family member that wasn't normally available at the hotel." ... read more
