There aren't many hotels that have two wedding venues to choose from in Ireland, let alone County Kildare, but Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort is one of them.

Couples who tie the knot here can either celebrate their marriage in its contemporary, elegant Royal Canal Suite, within the hotel, or in the separated Balyna House, a private, Victorian mansion.



Those who choose the Royal Canal Suite for their wedding reception can expect to fit in up to 250 guests within the banqueting hall. They can also say their vows in the Stone House, another period building on the resort's 500 acres of grounds. Having been restored, it is a beautiful place to say 'I do' and has stunning chandeliers and antique furnishings.

Alternatively, those with a small guestlist of up to 100 can have their civil ceremony and reception in Balyna House. Here, they can enjoy total privacy and exclusive use of the building, including its dinging room, reception rooms and cellar bar. The 19th Century Italianate mansion is therefore ideal for more intimate nuptials, and newlyweds can stay in its luxury bridal suite as a complimentary gift from the resort.

Moyvalley Hotel also gives couples luxury white Italian bed linen as a wedding present, a chance to taste the menu and wine, and reduced accommodation and green fees for guests.



Those wanting to add an old-fashioned charm to their wedding can make the most of the hotel's vintage package, which includes the hire of bird cages, a vintage bike and lanterns for €350.
