Testimonials

"We were so lucky to have our wedding at Butler House in August. Firstly, the team at Butler House is so welcoming, knowledgeable and their attention to detail is second to none. Over the weekend, our family and friends were made to feel at home and their every need accommodated. 

The house and gardens are spectacular for a wedding and Butler House is a little piece of heaven in the middle of bustling Kilkenny City. We were thrilled with our wedding menu selection - each dish was perfectly presented and one more delicious than the next.

We would like to thank the entire team at Butler House for your warmth and dedication in making our wedding day one we will cherish forever."

"We had our wedding ceremony and wedding meal at Butler House in September. We planned the event mostly via email from the UK. Communication and planning with Butler house staff was faultless at all times. The venue is stunning for a wedding ceremony and we had reception drinks in the garden afterwards which everyone commented on afterwards how much they really enjoyed and felt like VIPs. The garden was perfect for photographs. We had a meal for immediate family after that, and lots of people said the food was the best they have ever tasted, including the best tarte tatin! Everyone agreed the quality of the food was excellent, including breakfasts! The chef is amazing!

We stayed in the Lady Eleanor Suite which was elegant and luxurious, with great views of the castle and gardens! A real treat! All our family stayed at Butler House and enjoyed their stay.
The location of Butler House makes it the perfect wedding venue for a weekend with family and friends who can explore the city by foot and take a very short stroll to the castle!

To top it all off we have afternoon tea the next day for wider family and friends. Everyone enjoyed their food, especially the fresh scones and cakes. I would highly recommend Butler House for your wedding, or family and friend weekend gathering, the staff will make sure you really enjoy every minute of your stay!"
