We had our wedding in Sheen Falls in November 2025. It was absolutely the best day of our lives and so much of that is down to Sheen Falls and the fantastic team they have. We’d stayed in the hotel a number of times beforehand and had fallen in love with everything about it but for our wedding, they went even more above and beyond than they normally do! We couldn’t fault a single thing. The concierge team were amazing, the restaurant and bar staff were as attentive as always and the duty manager, Jaime, was very helpful at every juncture. We needed some help with a particular accommodation request and Jaime went to incredible effort to ensure that it was sorted and we didn’t have to worry about it in the lead up to or on our big day. Kian in the bar was fantastic. We had a few late nights and he handled everything with great professionalism, attentiveness and a great sense of humour. Special thanks goes to Clodagh, the brilliant events co-ordinator. Any hotel (or employer for that matter) would be so lucky to have someone like Clodagh. She put so much into making our day what it was, and we’re forever grateful for that. This is our favourite place and we are counting down the days before be we come back. Dylan & Emer

Asked along the way.
Can we hire the entire lodge for privacy?+
Sheen Falls operates as a functioning hotel, so exclusive buyout isn't standard. However, you can book multiple rooms and reserve primary event spaces. Contact the venue directly to discuss tailored packages for your group size.
What's included in the ceremony fee?+
The ceremony space rental, tables, chairs, and basic sound system are typically included. Florals, photography, and external vendors are additional. Request a detailed proposal from the venue.
Are there outdoor ceremony alternatives if weather turns poor?+
Yes. Indoor ceremony rooms with river views are available as backup spaces. The venue advises booking during summer months (May–September) for optimal outdoor conditions.
How far is the nearest airport?+
Kerry Airport is 35 km away (45 minutes by car). Cork Airport, 100 km south, offers more flight options and is 90 minutes away.
Can we arrange group transportation for guests?+
Yes. The lodge recommends booking coach hire through local operators or arranging shuttles from nearby train stations (Kenmare is walkable for town arrivals).
