Culinary Delights of Cahernane: A Gourmet Wedding Experience

There are few things more important at an Irish wedding than the food. Treating your guest and yourselves to a custom-chosen, high-quality meal will add another layer of luxury to your big day. Your guests might not remember your first dance song, how they got there or the colour of your bridesmaid’s dresses but they will always remember the confit Kerry lamb or the freshly caught Kenmare salmon you treated them to on your big day. Taste brings back great memories so make sure your guest are treated to the highest quality food and drink for your wedding in Killarney.
