FAIRY TALE WEDDINGS AT THE K CLUB

The Kildare Hotel and Country Club, affectionately known as The K Club is one of the most stunning locations in the country to host a wedding. Your special day deserves a special venue and the AA Ireland Hotel of the Year 2010/2011 really has it all. Located in the pretty village of Straffan, Co. Kildare and on the banks of the River Liffey the hotel is surrounded by 550 acres of mature woods, parkland and magnificent formal gardens-perfect for your wedding photographs.

From the moment you drive down the private lane to The K Club you are surrounded by beauty; ancient trees stretch their arms high above you, welcoming you to what truly is a very special place. At every stop and every turn your eye is drawn to something new; a little boat moored on a crystal lake, delicate summer flowers framed by a white picket fence or old fashioned roses which fill the air with their sweet summer scent.

Dating back to 1832, Ireland’s first AA Five Red Star Property is the original home of classic Irish hospitality and offers a host of opulent facilities to make wedding dreams come true.
