James Mulcahy – Vets in Kilshane
Clinic Overview
Kilshane House appears to be an independently run wedding and events venue (no corporate group is mentioned in the available information). The website source describes it as an “elegant and spacious Regency House built in 1822,” and recent reviews focus heavily on full-weekend wedding hosting—ceremony spaces on-site, coordinated timelines, food service, bars, and overnight stays.
Concrete specifics mentioned repeatedly include
- •Dedicated wedding coordination and planning support (Saoire is named multiple times for guiding decisions and keeping the day running calmly).
- •Multiple on-site spaces used for different parts of the event, including a conservatory ceremony, an “orangerie/orangery” for receptions, and a basement area used for a pre-wedding dinner.
- •Food and drink are a major part of the experience (canapés, dinner, breakfast, and bar service are all described), with one review reporting disappointment about fish portion size and breakfast temperature, contrasting with multiple reviews praising the food highly.
- •The grounds are used for photography and quiet breaks, with walks and views mentioned (including a dining room opening to a lake view).
Services
- •Wedding and event hosting (multiple reviews describe getting married there and suppliers performing/working weddings at the venue).
- •Wedding coordination/management (a named coordinator is described as advising what will/won’t work, handling concerns, and managing the couple’s time and needs during the day).
- •Ceremony spaces on-site (a conservatory ceremony is specifically mentioned).
- •Reception/dining spaces (a large banquet room is mentioned; the “orangery/orangerie” is described as suitable for more intimate weddings).
- •Food service across the wedding timeline (pre-wedding dinner, canapés, main meal, and next-morning breakfast are all referenced; menu tasting is mentioned with the chef accommodating and helping with choices).
- •Bar service (a bar manager is named; guests had a drinks reception set up outside in one review).
- •Overnight accommodation (rooms are mentioned as “comfy,” and one review notes the convenience of waking up at the venue to get ready).
- •Grounds used for photography and walks (multiple reviews reference photo spots and portraits around the grounds).
People
- •Saoire (wedding coordinator): Mentioned as a key point of contact from early planning through the day itself—reassuring couples, advising whether ideas would work, and actively managing the couple’s experience (including making sure they had time to themselves and even ensuring a drink was in hand while greeting guests).
- •Jane: Repeatedly thanked as part of the team responsible for the overall experience and organisation.
- •Michael (bar manager): Credited with managing bars and setting up parts of the drinks reception; described as easy to work with and helpful with suggestions (including music for a “day two”).
- •Siobhan (evening manager): Mentioned for resolving any issues “promptly and discreetly.”
- •Clodagh: Named as running the reception in the orangerie; described as unflappable, personable, and proactive in anticipating needs.
- •Chef (unnamed): Mentioned as accommodating during menu tasting and helpful when choosing between dishes.
- •Finbar (and Harriet): Mentioned by name as part of the venue’s hosts/team; one reviewer noted it was “lively to meet Finbar.”

- •Weddings are the dominant use case in recent reviews, with detailed accounts of planning support, on-the-day coordination, and multi-part events (ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, and breakfast).
- •Staff are frequently credited with specific, practical help—keeping schedules on track, resolving issues discreetly, and anticipating needs (e.g., checking in on the couple, managing bar setups, and coordinating room-to-room flow).
- •Food feedback is mostly very positive (canapés, rack of lamb, steaks, and breakfast are all praised), but there is a clear mixed signal: one reviewer felt “let down” by a small fish portion and breakfast not being hot.
- •The house and grounds are repeatedly highlighted as part of the experience (historic feel, multiple “wow” rooms, and photo-friendly outdoor areas).

My husband and I got married here this July. What an absolutely stunning and beautiful venue. An amazing experience. From start to finish, our wedding at Kilshane House was incredible. Jane and the team were incredibly helpful, kind and professional. Saoire was our wedding coordinator from the start, and honestly we felt so reassured every time we spoke to her about any worries or concerns. She knows her stuff, and will tell you whether an idea would work or not, and how Kilshane could make it happen if we really wanted it. On the day itself, she did a great job at making sure my husband and I had time to ourselves in between everything happening during the day. When I was busy speaking to guests, she made sure I had a drink in my hand. She seemed to always be aware of where we were at all stages of the day!! If we needed anything at all, the staff were there to help as long as you asked. Michael (bar manager) and Siobhan (evening manager) were also superb. If there were any issues during the day, they were always resolved promptly and discreetly. The food was absolutely phenomenal and many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had - the pre-wedding, canapes, dinner (especially the rack of lamb) and breakfast the next morning were all incredible. When we did our menu tasting, Chef was very accommodating and helpful when we struggled to choose our menu because we were so torn between dishes. The grounds really speak for themselves- so many lovely spots for photos. The house itself is 200 years old so don't expect it to be modern/state of the art- but that's what makes it so charming. There are lovely walks where you can take a break from the crowds, and the dining room opens out to a lovely view of the lake. Our guests really enjoyed the venue because we had the whole place to ourselves, and the staff were excellent. We had a pre-wedding dinner the night before downstairs in the basement and it was just perfect for the night before a wedding- we were able to catch up with close friends and family in a relaxed setting before the mayhem of the next morning. It also made our lives so much easier waking up in the venue itself to get ready, etc. We had such a great experience with Kilshane House that we can't wait to be guests at someone else's wedding there so we can experience it from the other side! Thank you so much to Jane and team for making our wedding day so special- we will cherish the memories.

We had the recent good fortune that our son and dughter in law booked Kilshane House as their wedding venue. Absolutely faultless. Friendly, helpful staff readily answered any questions that I had before arrival as we didn't know the area. The estate is amazing and the interior beyond amazing....including a piano room which allowed my son to serenade his new bride. The food was exquisite...if you can satisfy northern farmers with the steaks you know it's a winner. Had the best day with little meaningful touches that I won't mention for fear of spoiling for others. Lively to meet Finbar too. Thank you so much

We got married here two weeks ago and honestly we will NEVER get over it. Everything about it is spectacular. When we were in the planning stages we were beyond stressed and worried about organizing everything but honestly we were wasting our time. Saoire is a master of events, coordination and reassurance. She was composed at all times and handled everything. Her ability to keep everything calm is honestly astounding. We were truly blessed with the weather and had a beautiful bright ceremony in the conservatory (that everyone is still talking about). Our ceremony was accented by flowing fountain water, strings and birds singing - what more could you ask for. Our drinks reception was set up outside by Michael and guests could float in and out of all the rooms, with every room being another wow. Michael managed all the bars, is great craic and even humoured our shebeen! He also gave the best suggestion for day two music. We had our reception in the orangerie in the most capable hands of the seasoned professional that is Clodagh. Clodagh and all the staff could not do more for us. They are all so personable, friendly and professional. We sincerely doubt there is anything that would shake Clodagh! Everyone was a pleasure to be around and nothing was ever too much. They have an ability to preempt what you may need before you even ask. We will forever be grateful to Jane and Finbar (and Harriet) for the most perfect weekend. (Photos courtesy of John Gillooley)

I have photographed many weddings at Kilshane House and it's just such a stunning wedding venue, the house itself is gorgeous with a large banquet room, the orangery is perfect for intimate weddings and the grounds are great for all your portraits! Definitely worth considering!
