Seminars and company events

Weddings and receptions
Weddings follow one route across the estate. Ceremonies take place in The Lodge, a barn-style building with a large window over the estate, Ballyseedy Woods and the Slieve Mish Mountains. It suits civil, spiritualist and humanist ceremonies. For a church wedding, churches in Tralee and around Kerry are close by.
The Pavilion hosts the drinks reception, with gardens and a Sunset Terrace for summer. The banquet takes place in The Monarch Suite, which has daylight and its own lounge bar. Signature Weddings host one wedding per day, and Boutique Weddings suit smaller parties. An after-wedding party with a barbecue can follow in The Pavilion.
