Hosting a big wedding in Kildare
Kildare's estates and hotels can host large weddings of a hundred and eighty guests and more, some adding a marquee in grand grounds. Right beside Dublin on the motorway and rail network, it is one of the easiest counties for a big list to reach.
Set against the Curragh plains, thoroughbred studs, canals and parkland estates, Kildare is immediately west of Dublin on the M4 and M7, with frequent rail services. For a large guest list, that access matters as much as the setting, and the right venue makes gathering everyone effortless.
