The award arrives as the hotel marks its 60th anniversary this year, reflecting six decades of weddings, celebrations and milestones
Newpark Hotel Kilkenny has been named Best Wedding Venue in Leinster at the prestigious weddingsonline Awards, one of Ireland’s most recognised honours for excellence across the wedding industry.
Open to venues and suppliers nationwide, the weddingsonline Awards celebrate businesses that consistently deliver exceptional experiences for couples planning their wedding day. Winners are chosen following a rigorous process involving shortlisting and evaluation by an independent panel of 17 judges who assess venues on the quality of their offering, reputation, innovation and overall customer experience.
For Newpark Hotel, the award arrives at a particularly meaningful moment as the hotel marks its 60th anniversary this year, reflecting six decades of weddings, celebrations and milestones shared within the Kilkenny venue.
Set on landscaped grounds on the edge of Kilkenny City, Newpark Hotel has built a strong reputation as a wedding destination that combines elegant surroundings with attentive service and experienced coordination. Couples are guided through the planning process by the hotel’s dedicated wedding team, from their first viewing through to the final moments of their celebration.
The weddingsonline Awards are known for their strong competition, bringing together some of the country’s most respected venues and wedding suppliers. Being recognised among the winners places Newpark Hotel alongside some of Ireland’s most highly regarded names in the industry.
Philip Kelly – Head of Sales, Marketing, Wedding and Events for Newpark Hotel said the recognition reflects the commitment of the team behind every wedding hosted at the hotel.
“We are absolutely delighted to be named Best Wedding Venue in Leinster at the weddingsonline Awards. This recognition means a great deal to our team, as it reflects the care, dedication and passion that goes into every wedding we are privileged to host. As we celebrate our 60th anniversary this year, it feels especially meaningful to mark six decades of love stories shared within our hotel.
“Our team works tirelessly to ensure every couple feels supported, relaxed and genuinely celebrated from their very first visit right through to the final farewell. For couples choosing Newpark, this award represents a promise of quality, trust and memorable experiences.”
The strength of that reputation is reflected in feedback from couples themselves. Bride Ciara Dawson, who celebrated her wedding at the hotel last November, praised the team for their compassion and support when her wedding date had to be moved forward due to a family illness.
“The kindness and compassion shown will never be forgotten in our house,” she said. “The venue was spectacular and the Christmas decorations were magical. The food was amazing and all our guests commented on how attentive and professional the staff were.”
Bríd O’Dwyer, who celebrated her wedding at the hotel last August said the venue delivered “a more perfect day than we could have imagined,” highlighting the atmosphere, exceptional food and the calm professionalism of the wedding coordination team
As the hotel marks its 60th year welcoming guests to Kilkenny, the latest recognition highlights its enduring place in the county’s celebrations, with generations of couples choosing the venue to begin their married life.
