Dromquinna Manor is a 19th-century waterfront estate set on 40 acres of parkland on the shores of Kenmare Bay in County Kerry, offering intimate weddings in its Oak Room and drawing rooms with views across the water. The venue can accommodate up to 180 guests for your wedding celebration.
Dromquinna Manor sits at the end of a woodland drive on the south shore of Kenmare Bay, a 19th-century manor house surrounded by parkland first planted in the 1800s. The grounds slope gently to the water, and the Oak Room — the principal wedding reception space — looks directly across the bay toward the Caha Mountains on the far shore. It is the kind of view that requires no augmentation: the Kerry light, the silver water, the purple hills beyond.
The manor has a character that distinguishes it clearly from a hotel — the Boathouse Bistro on the waterfront, the converted estate buildings (Potting Sheds, Courtyard Mews, The Bolthole) that accommodate guests across the grounds, the kitchen garden, the glamping tents tucked into the estate. As a member of Ireland's Blue Book, Dromquinna sits alongside the country's most distinguished private properties, and its connections to the Park Hotel Kenmare and The Lansdowne Kenmare mean that larger wedding parties have nearby five-star options for overflow accommodation.
