Wedding Venues in Kildare for Under 80 Guests
Planning an intimate wedding in Kildare? A smaller guest list of up to eighty is a celebration where every face at the table is one you love, and it opens up settings a bigger day simply couldn't.
Kildare is horse country, the green plains of the Curragh, world-famous studs and grand parkland estates, all within half an hour of Dublin. It combines elegant countryside settings with the convenience of being right beside the capital.

Why a smaller wedding suits Kildare
Kildare's parkland estates and country houses are made for a refined, smaller wedding within easy reach of Dublin. A close group can enjoy grand grounds and quiet luxury without a long journey, and guests can drive down from the city in the morning and be home, or staying nearby, by night.
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. With a shorter guest list you can hold the day somewhere with real character, keep the atmosphere warm and personal, and spend your time with people rather than logistics.
