What to ask before you book a Kerry venue
Six questions worth asking every Kerry venue.
| Ask | A good answer | Walk away if |
|---|---|---|
| Total in euros | A written total for your guest count, VAT included | Only a headline hire fee |
| Guest travel | Kerry Airport and Killarney transport explained | Everyone drives, apparently |
| Season | Honest advice on summer demand in a tourist county | June availability, somehow |
| Wet weather | An indoor backup shown to you set up | A plan that has never been used |
| Curfew | A clear music stop and departure time | Whatever the neighbours decide |
| Bedroom rates | Wedding-party rates confirmed in writing | Standard rates, take it or leave it |
