Our Legacy at Adare Manor
Olivia Buckley
Insightful Corner
Adare Manor’s “Beyond Everything” promise is more than a motto; it is the very soul of this place. As a planner, I know its incredible reputation is truly deserved, but it is the subtle nuances that make it extraordinary.
The elegant ballroom is a magnificent, neutral canvas, allowing us to create anything. What is brilliant is the flexibility it offers: you don’t have to take the venue exclusively. But for us, the real potential unfolds with a complete property buy-out. That is when we unlock the old manor rooms, each brimming with unparalleled character. The Gallery is my personal favourite; inspired by the ‘Hall of Mirrors’ in the Palace of Versailles, where you can host a unique event here that celebrates its architecture.
The pursuit of excellence, from Michelin dining to the Ryder Cup golf, sets an unparalleled standard. Yet, we can always elevate it further. Just a stroll away, the charming Adare Village offers a genuine Irish heartbeat, keeping you connected to authentic Ireland, yet within the estate, you are utterly cocooned in your own world.
Philip, the Wedding Butler, is simply incredible; he truly looks after you, making everyone feel like family. And with the spectacular Walled Garden and formal gardens as a backdrop, the possibilities for marquee builds, drone shows, or even hot air balloons are only limited by imagination.
