Kerry - The Magical Kingdom of Love! New Joint On-Line Marketing Initiative for Weddings

14 September 2009

Today sees the launch of a new website, www.weddingsinkerry.com, dedicated to promoting Kerry as the ideal destination for Brides and Grooms on the most memorable day of their lives.  The website, the first of its kind in Ireland, is the brainchild of the Kerry branch of the Irish Hotel Federation and brings together on one site; ten of Ireland's leading wedding venues, as well as a guide to local resources, tourist attractions and a comprehensive directory of Kerry based wedding suppliers.

Despite businesses having a strong competitive nature in Kerry, all 10 participating hotels are very practical and pragmatic and know from experience that working together, promoting the unique attributes that Kerry offers, will benefit all their businesses and have a knock on effect for auxiliary businesses in the county. 

Chairman of the Weddings in Kerry Committee, Padraig McGillicuddy stated "In Kerry we are fortunate to have a wealth of resources on our doorstep.  We have it all, from castles to state of the art venues, mountains, lakes and shorelines, spectacular settings for memories that will last a lifetime, making Kerry the ultimate Kingdom of Love. Through our member hotels, all experts at weddings, many for generations, we have the ability to offer a wide range of facilities and product offerings to suit every size, taste and budget.  The website, we believe will not just be a resource for Irish brides and grooms, but for the many couples who plan their wedding from overseas - weddingsinkerry.com will be a very valuable research tool for them on every aspect of Kerry."

John Power, Chief Executive of the Irish Hotel Federation stated "Kerry Hoteliers have proved their grit by challenging the norm and adapting how they do business in order to thrive and survive. The Hotels have joined together in the setting up of a website to attract couples, both from within Ireland and overseas, to hold their wedding in Kerry. Weddingsinkerry.com is a fully comprehensive online service, outlining the fantastic facilities, scenic attractions, beautiful locations, numerous wedding suppliers and world-class venues Kerry has to offer. On behalf of the Irish Hotel Federation I'd like to congratulate all those involved in setting up this initiative and I would strongly recommend to any couple getting married that they check out www.weddingsinkerry.com before they do anything else."
