We recently completed the installation of a new 10x15m stretch tent for Great Southern Killarney as part of preparations for the 2026 wedding season.
Set within one of Ireland’s most recognised wedding destinations, this installation will help create an elegant and flexible outdoor wedding space, allowing guests to enjoy the venue’s gardens and surroundings while maintaining protection from changing Irish weather conditions. Great Southern Killarney is known for its extensive gardens and outdoor ceremony settings, making a stretch tent a natural addition to the venue.
Creating Flexible Outdoor Wedding Spaces
Wedding venues across Ireland are continuing to invest in outdoor spaces that allow couples greater flexibility while creating memorable guest experiences.
A stretch tent offers a modern alternative to more traditional structures by providing:
Flexible layouts for different guest numbers
Elegant covered drinks reception areas
Outdoor dining and lounge spaces
Weather protection while maintaining an open atmosphere
A visually striking design that complements natural surroundings
For venues hosting weddings throughout the year, flexibility is becoming increasingly important.
Why Great Southern Killarney Works So Well for Stretch Tents
Great Southern Killarney combines historic architecture with landscaped gardens and outdoor spaces, creating a setting that naturally suits stretch tent installations. The venue promotes six acres of gardens and outdoor ceremony options, making outdoor wedding experiences a key part of its offering.
Rather than competing with the existing surroundings, stretch tents help enhance outdoor areas while preserving the open feel of the venue.
The new 10x15m installation creates opportunities for:
Outdoor drinks receptions
Covered garden spaces
Wedding guest lounges
Additional entertainment areas
Flexible layouts throughout the season
Why Wedding Venues Across Ireland Are Investing in Outdoor Structures

Benefits for venues include:
Increased use of outdoor areas

For venues, stretch tents are not simply an event structure — they can become a long-term investment that adds value to the overall guest experience.
