Description
Set in the heart of scenic South Kildare, just one hour from Dublin, Clanard Court Hotel offers a wedding experience where thoughtful personal styling meets exceptional hospitality — all centred around you. From your first viewing to your final farewell breakfast, our experienced wedding team ensures every detail flows seamlessly, making your day uniquely yours.
Indoor & Outdoor Ceremonies
At the heart of our offering is the unique Little White Chapel — a purpose-built, chapel-style ceremony space that is both romantic and refined. Beautifully dressed, softly candlelit, and perfectly positioned, it overlooks the rolling countryside of South Kildare, offering breathtaking views that bring calm and romance to your vows. Intimate, private, and atmospheric, the Chapel is available seven days a week for Civil Ceremonies and Blessings.
For couples who prefer an outdoor setting, the Secret Garden, located adjacent to the Chapel, offers a secluded, landscaped alternative (weather permitting), complete with a gazebo, hatch bar, and a new patio terrace awning. The illuminated willow tree and generous outdoor space provide stunning photography opportunities, while a Kids VIP Den keeps younger guests entertained. Adding a truly unique touch, our resident alpacas roam the surrounding grassy mounds of the hotel grounds for unforgettable photo moments.
Crystal Chandeliered Garden Ballroom
Our magnificent, pillar-free Ballroom features crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, and direct access to the Secret Garden and patios. The seamless indoor-outdoor connection allows your celebration to flow naturally, framed by scenic countryside views. Guests are welcomed into our high-ceilinged lobby with an open fire, creating a warm, elegant first impression.
Suite Dreams & Your Guest Accommodation
We offer 47 beautifully styled rooms and suites, with a dedicated allocation at preferred wedding rates. Dedicated changing rooms are available for guests prior to check-in, ensuring everyone is relaxed and prepared. The luxurious Wedding Suite features a four-poster bed, open fireplace, and indulgent bathtub — a serene retreat to begin married life together.
Revive Spa, Thermal Garden & Bridal Beauty
Revive Spa provides a tranquil escape before or after your Big Day. The Thermal Garden Spa includes a sauna, hot tubs, ice bath, and outdoor shower — perfect for relaxing and preparing for your celebrations. Bridal Beauty takes place here, with professional hair and make-up services ensuring a calm, seamless start to your day so you look and feel your absolute best.
And There’s One More Reason…
We simply love weddings. Hosting one wedding per day, we deliver personal attention, meticulous care, and a joyful, memorable experience for you and your guests.
With packages from €79 per guest and all-inclusive options from €9,000 during lower-season months, Clanard Court combines value, elegance, and countryside charm.
