The award winners include two celebrated Kilkenny wedding venues including Ballyhale’s Mountain View as Best Exclusive Wedding Venue and the City’s Langton’s Hotel as Best Large Hotel Wedding Venue.

Set in the beautiful rolling hills of the Kilkenny countryside, Mountain View is an exclusive wedding venue that oozes style and character and has a range of stunning versatile event spaces perfect for both smaller or bigger weddings, and as fun or as formal as the to-be-weds want. With 120 acres to enjoy, Mountain View is exclusive to couples on their big day and no detail is overlooked at this truly chic and romantic venue including wild table flowers, stunning candelabras, fairy lights, personalised menus, masses of candles, marshmallows on the fire-pit, the vintage horsebox bar to the lawn games. They offer both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces with breathtaking views and are licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, blessings and renewals of vows.

Kilkenny's Langton Hotel is located right at the heart of Kilkenny’s medieval bustling city and houses not one, not two, but five beautiful wedding venue options all under one roof. Catering for intimate close-knit gatherings to large party celebrations with 342 guests, and with a civil ceremony licence you can also choose to say ‘I Do’ in the truly spectacular and unique Set Theatre or smaller ceremony location of Harry’s Bar. The Langton Ballroom is a room to impress, boasting 20ft ceilings, ornate cornicing and hand painted silk wallpaper and is complete with its own private bar, access to a unique garden bar and private conservatory.  The Garden Restaurant is an exquisite room for small, medium or large weddings with natural light flooding in through the large elegant stained glass roof windows and access to an outdoor terrace.
