A Glimpse into The K Club’s Storied Past
Established in 1832, The K Club, originally known as Straffan House, was a private residence inspired by a French château, reflecting timeless elegance and grandeur. In the 1990s, the property was transformed into a world-class hotel and resort, seamlessly blending its historic charm with modern luxury—making it the perfect backdrop for an exclusive, sophisticated wedding.
The estate is internationally renowned, not just for its grandeur, but also for its championship golf courses, which have hosted major tournaments like the Ryder Cup in 2006, the Irish Open, and the upcoming Irish Open in 2025. If golf is a passion you share as a couple—or if you simply want a venue that reflects prestige and exclusivity—The K Club is the ultimate setting for a luxury wedding.
Why The K Club is Ideal for Your Luxury Wedding
Seamless Accessibility with Serene Surroundings
One of the greatest challenges for couples planning a destination wedding is finding a venue that is both accessible for guests and private enough to feel exclusive.

Its proximity to Dublin Airport makes travel simple for international guests, while its expansive estate offers the seclusion and exclusivity that high-profile couples desire. With the right planning, your guests can arrive stress-free and immediately immerse themselves in a world of luxury and relaxation.

A common concern for couples is finding a venue that can accommodate both grand celebrations and intimate moments.

Elevate Your Wedding with Pre- and Post-Celebration Activities
One of the most overlooked aspects of a destination wedding is guest experience beyond the wedding day. Many couples underestimate the importance of entertaining guests before and after the wedding, but The K Club offers an array of activities that make this easy:

- Fishing: Enjoy fly fishing on the River Liffey, which runs through the estate.
- Equestrian Experiences: Explore the countryside on horseback.
- Spa & Wellness: Indulge in luxury treatments at the world-class K Spa.
- Outdoor Adventures: Archery, falconry, paddleboarding, and Segway tours for an interactive experience.
- Culinary Experiences: Wine cellar tours and whiskey tastings offer the perfect sophisticated prelude to the main event.
The logistics of organizing multi-day events and guest activities can be daunting—but with the right planning, these experiences can be seamlessly integrated into your wedding weekend.

Few wedding locations in Europe can boast the prestige of hosting the Ryder Cup, the Irish Open, and now, the Irish Open 2025.
