Palmerstown House Estate

Words cannot describe how impressed we were with Palmerstown. Niamh and the team were so incredibly helpful from the moment we met them to the second we checked out. We had an incredibly stressful few days before our wedding as the first of the Covid-19 restrictions were introduced. Niamh was exceptional, from the moment we found out we had to cut half of our numbers, Niamh supported us with every decision we needed to make. In what seemed to be a disaster Niamh was so calm and supportive, Niamh and the team made it possible for us to enjoy our big day despite the mayhem in the days before. We genuinely enjoyed every minute we spent in the venue from the initial viewing visits, the tasting and any other opportunity we had to visit. The staff were exceptional in all interactions. Nothing however compared to the day of our wedding, everything was perfect, from the decor, reception drinks and canapes to the meal and evening food. The food was exactly as we requested, with all dietary requirements met to perfection. All of guests were so impressed by the whole experience, the rooms are beautiful and the atmosphere was so relaxed. We never thought we'd be so impressed by every single element of the experience especially given the lead up to the wedding. We will be forever grateful to the incredible team in Palmerstown for allowing us to have a magical experience despite the chaos of the world. We could not recommend this venue highly enough, they will go above and beyond in every aspect every time.

Fantastic venue and staff are amazing from the start to the end of the day they just cannot do enough for everyone food is perfect and they decorate the room and the ceremony so beautifully couldn’t recommend them high enough

Best day of our lives in Palmerstown Manor House. Myself and my fiancé looked at an AWFUL lot of venues before Palmerstown, and when I walked in, I just knew it was the one for us. I actually booked it (shhh!) without telling my fiancé, ‘cos he wasn’t there on the day, and I knew our date (last Saturday – the 28th of September 2019) would be snapped up fast if we didn’t get there first. I can’t believe how lucky we were to get this venue. It’s spectacular. Go see it, even if you don’t get married. Look at the breathtaking, expansive, gorgeous grounds that go on for miles. Then go inside and be blown away even more. It’s elegant. It’s opulent. It’s comfortable. It’s huge. It’s cosy. The rooms are like something out of, “Downton Abbey.” It’s like entering another world, but in 2019. It is fabulous. And then…the staff. And then…the food. And then…the extra little special touches. The staff were perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. They could not have been nicer – without being over-the-top. Totally friendly and helpful and down-to-earth. The food…sure I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Our tasting was probably the food highlight of my life!! The variety, and the amount of it (no skimping in Palmerstown!), the flexibility (e.g.vegan options available), and most important – the TASTE. And presentation. The little touches; the engraved cake knife, the text on the morning of the wedding; Chelsea helping to look after my nieces when I wanted to get changed. And really reasonable rates. Like, there is nothing you could find fault with in this place. Everything went right. There was a wedding the day before us and one the day after. We never felt rushed; we never felt like we were on an assembly line; we felt special, and listened to, and our every need and request was taken care of with no problem or fuss. Chelsea, Niamh, Arnold, Rebecca, Richie, Gosha, Dave…just a genuinely lovely bunch of people. Late-night chats with Dave (a manager) about his life outside of Palmerstown. And some of them are managers who’ve risen through the ranks, which says a lot about the place; you wouldn’t stick around if it wasn’t a good place to be. Every minute detail was taken care of. I said to my (new!) husband – “They just know how to run a venue.” Everything was looked after. Everyone commented on the majesticness and magic of our choice of venue, and yet everyone was totally at ease and felt at home there. I know now why people say your wedding day is the best day of your life. It’s worth all the hassle and stress before. But places like Palmerstown take a load of that stress off your hands, and the venue is one of the most important aspects. Palmerstown Manor House and the team really made this an unforgettable day that we’ll cherish forever. Thank you to everyone. One tip - make sure people are putting the right place in on Google maps!!

We got married in Palmerstown House Estate the 27th of September 2019. From when we first viewed Palmerstown House we just fell in love, it's beautiful! I couldn't wait for everyone to see our venue. Was such an amazing day. From start to finish the staff couldn't do enough for us that alone made our day. Chelsea was so lovely to deal with and so professional, she really looked after us. I can't recommend Palmerstown House Estate enough. They even gave us a lovely engraved cake knife we used for cutting our cake. Thank you so much to Chelsea and all the staff. Thank you for making our day so special. Beautiful, stunning venue and amazing staff.

Palmerstown House Estate is an absolutely fantastic location. Every member of staff from the wedding co-ordinator to the housekeeping staff was friendly, accommodating and welcoming. We honestly felt like we were dealing with family throughout the whole process. On our actual wedding day the wait staff were so friendly and kind and relaxed that the atmosphere for our celebration was simply perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and the food was impeccable. If you are looking for an exclusive hire venue you just cannot go wrong with Palmerstown. We cannot thank Niamh & Chelsea enough - you gave us exactly the celebration we were looking for. Thank you so so much, Stephanie & Conor

Palmerstown Estate was honestly the most perfect venue we could imagine for our wedding day. Previous to the wedding, Sinead, Chelsea and Niamh were the most helpful and professional wedding coordinators you could work with. Any idea we had was accommodated. Nothing at all was a problem. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the girls. The feedback from our guests was nothing short of outstanding. Everyone had the best day. The drinks reception and the speeches outside on the terrace were so relaxing and chilled. Everyone felt like they were on their holidays. The food at the reception and the meal was delicious. There was such a wonderful variety and no one went hungry!! The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. I have never felt so well looked after. Arnold charmed everyone in the shuttle bus up to the manor house and the house party vibe up there for the band and DJ was so much fun!! Everyone was so sad when the band finished. What a night!! Can we do it all again please?? I would highly recommend Palmerstown House Estate as a wedding venue. The best day ever!!"

I got married in Palmerstown House in July 2019 and no review will tell you how amazing the venue and staff are. Its has to be experienced to be believed. The staff are always at hand, food was second to none, no requests were denied when it came to the menu. They decorations for the house includes flowers, candelabras and candles etc so really no need to buy anything else for it. The staff really look after everything so you can just sit back and enjoy the day. The house is just spectacular. I never wanted a hotel wedding and this venue was exactly what I wanted. The grounds are an amazing backdrop for photos and the rooms are all unique. 5 stars all around. Cant rate this venue highly enough.

I'd highly recommend having your wedding at Palmerstown House Estate. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and so is the venue itself. Its a perfect space if you're looking to have a more intimate wedding 100-120. Chelsea helped us plan the whole wedding and she was very responsive, making the entire planning process a breeze. The food was also gorgeous. The guests couldn't stop talking about the food and said that at no point were they hungry.

I cannot recconmend Chelsea, her team and Palmerstown house enough to any bride. The venue its self screams romance and elegance. It was everything we were looking for. Something different from your typical hotel wedding. Communication with Chelsea was so smooth through email phone and meeting her face to face. She even came in on her day off to let us drop off some decor. I arrived at 8am the morning of the wedding and everything was ready for us from breakfast then lunch. The team even set up a table for my makeup arist. Everything seemed to run like clockwork. All of the staff were so nice and accomidating. The gave lifts to people back to the house from the golf club and helped us with anything we needed. Since the weddimg day we have had both friends and family complementing us on how much food there was and how beautiful everything tasted. If you want to be treated like a king and qween on your day then id recconmend booking PTHE.

From our first visit at the wedding open night until we walked out the door the day after the wedding the help and support we received from Chelsea and everyone at Palmerstown House estate was second to none. We fell in love with the house as soon as we walked in the door.
Planning our wedding and the day itself in Palmerstown House Estate went beyond our expectations. The homeliness and personal connection that you could feel in this grand beautiful big house was what made it the perfect venue for us. While planning Chelsea answered all my questions ,big or small,quickly and always friendly.
On the day we all felt we had stepped into our own house for the day, being met at the door by our new friends Chelsea, Arnold and all the staff. Really ,it’s hard to describe but I know it’s something we wouldn’t have felt in a more conventional hotel venue. The staff, the food and the house itself are a very special combination. Every guest from the oldest to the youngest had a wonderful day. We have heard “the best wedding ever” more than once since the big day. We can’t thank everyone in Palmerstown House Estate enough.

What can we say! Words can't describe how amazing our wedding day was at Palmerstown. Our guests came in from Canada and all over Ireland for the day and they are still talking about how fabulous the venue, food and service was. Myself and my husband Dave couldn't speak highly enough about Chelsea, Arnold and Derek, the service we received was 5* plus! We planned the wedding from Canada and Chelsea was responsive to our incessant text messages. Best day ever Thank you Palmerstown Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We had our wedding here in October & genuinely can’t thank everyone enough for looking after us and our guests so well on the day. Chelsea was absolutely amazing on the day and in the run up. Nothing was a problem and she went above & beyond for us in everything she did. She is fantastic at her job as wedding co-ordinator. Arnold and every single staff member on the day took care of us and our guests so well. The day was planned and timed to perfection which meant we got to thoroughly enjoy every moment of it with our friends and family. Russell the head chef made sure no one went hungry! We enjoyed quality food, from beautiful canapes on arrival right through to tayto sandwiches at midnight! Not to mention the venue itself, the manor house is simply stunning. Damp weather on the day made no difference to us as we were able to capture beautiful photos inside. Thank you x

Palmerstown was my dream wedding venue - I couldn't recommend it enough. The venue is extraordinarily beautiful, and full of character too. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff at Palmerstown are wonderfully organised and professional. Sinead took us through all the details of the wedding that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, and made sure we were happy with all the arrangements on the day. They were a wonderful combination of well-prepared and flexible. There were also many little touches that made the day that bit more special, like receiving a cake knife engraved with our wedding date, or bringing us a selection of hors d'oeuvres and champagne after our photos to enjoy under the Pagoda while we caught our breath.

We were delighted with all elements of our wedding and would definitely recommend!

The first time we visited Palmerstown House we were blown away by it. The manor house is rich in old time charm and beauty making it a truly romantic place to get married in. The grounds are beautiful and offer both formal gardens and wild meadows for photo and video shoot. Our wedding coordinators Chelsea and Arnold were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They made themselves available to us in the run up to the day and were extremely competent, leaving us with nothing to worry about. On the day, there was no shortage of food and drink. Many guests commented on how much alcohol there was at the drinks reception which is exactly what you want to hear! The food was excellent! We had fillet steak for main course and they were cooked perfectly to preference. We had our dinner and dancing at the Golf Club house and then returned to the Manor for late bar and sing song. All in all we could not fault Palmerstown, it was a wonderful experience and we would do it all again if given the chance!

We had our wedding in the Manor House in Palmerstown House Estate on 25th May, we couldn’t have wished for a better day. The weather was fab and we got to have our ceremony outside. Sinead and Chelsea made the planning so easy, they were always at hand to answer our questions and offer advice. The day was just perfect and we were so relaxed because we knew everything would be in place. The staff are amazing, they couldn’t do enough for us. The manor house and grounds are stunning and are a perfect backdrop for pictures. Anyone looking for an alternative wedding venue should definitely check out Palmerstown House Estate, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again to Chelsea, Arnold and all the team for an amazing day.

We got married in Palmerstown House Estate on 4th May and we had an amazing day.
Palmerstown House is the very first venue we visited during a wedding fair and from the start, we both new it was the perfect place for us, nothing else compared to it!! We fell in love with the Manor House, and had our ceremony and dinner / afters party all in the Manor. The gardens are beautiful and we were lucky as the weather was beautiful and everyone got to enjoy the sun and the beautiful setting outside during the day;
Sinead's help and advice in the preparation of the wedding was invaluable, and we would not have had as special and magical of a day if it wasn’t for Sinead and her team,
Everything was so easy from the start to the last few days leading up to the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for more, nothing was a too much trouble, and all our extra requests were looked after by Sinead and her team with great professionalism;
We could not fault anything, the food was simply amazing, the staff were all so lovely and nice, professional and helpful, the venue looked stunning…we have received fantastic feedback from all our guests about the food, the venue, the staff… and would definitely recommend Palmerstown House to everyone !!
To Sinead, Arnold and the Palmerstwon House Estate team, Thanks You so much for making our special day so magical, the very best wishes from Damien and I, Mr and Mrs Coyle x

Sinead was our wedding coordinator in Palmerstown and she was fantastic. Nothing was a problem and she worked with us to create the best day for our guests. We fell in love with the venue on the first visit. It's brilliant to have the Manor House exclusively and this really appealed to us rather than going with a hotel venue. As we had a humanist ceremony it was fantastic to have both the ceremony and reception in the one place. The Manor House is a very special wedding venue and is unlike any other venue we seen. The staff are outstanding and they go out of the way to create a wedding that is personal and unique for each couple.

Myself and my wife were married in Palmerstown House estate on 17/11/17 and simply could not fault the place one bit. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Staff at Palmerstown deserve great credit for both the preparation/build up and execution on the big day.
We met our organiser Sinead approximately 1 year prior to the big day. She was fantastic and made the whole process easy and stress free for us. There were several different wedding packages/options available at very completive prices. The venue itself consists of 2 buildings set on spectacular private grounds about 10 minutes’ drive from Naas. The standout building is the old country manor which sits elevated at the highest point in the estate. The views from this building, and its surrounding gardens, are spectacular. The building consists of a main hall suitable for both the ceremony and reception. To the right side of the hall are 3 drawing rooms which can be opened into 1 and used as part of the reception area. The building also has approximately 20-22 guest bedrooms which differ in size ranging from a standard hotel room to large (and lavish) rooms with 4 poster beds and spectacular old bathrooms. The second building would be best described as a luxury golf course club house with a bar located on level one with a large and nicely furnished function room on level 2. The function room overlooks the spectacular 18th hole of the golf course. We requested to have our day spread over both venues in 3 stages.
1) Ceremony and drinks reception in the old house
2) Dinner in the club house function room
3) Back to the old house for evening reception
Palmerstown House accommodated our request with no fuss whatsoever. Both sites are located close to each other but a shuttle bus was provided for guests who did not fancy the short walk.
Having made the decision to have the wedding in Palmerstown, Sinead kept in regular contact over the next 12 months and arranged meetings with us when required.

The day itself went excellently despite not getting off to the best start. Some guests arrived late as they mistakenly went to the club house rather that the Old house where the ceremony took place. Some guests became comfortable in the club house (where there was an open bar) and on arrival to the ceremony stated they had not been clearly instructed where to go when they arrived on the grounds. Some guests actually stated they had been directed to the club house. As a result the bridal party arrived to the Old house before the bulk of our guests did. This is the only criticism I would have and the mix up was quickly forgotten about once the ceremony kicked off.

The staff at Palmerstown dealt excellently with all vendors as they arrived and set up.

The ceremony went off excellently. The location within the hall of the main house is simply spectacular. We chose to have the bridal party arrive via the back stair case with the ceremony taking place at the doors at the front of the building. I understand that the bridal party can enter via the front doors with the ceremony set up facing the back of the hall if they wish.
The drinks reception was perfect. An appropriate amount of time was dedicated to this part of the day. Sufficient time for the Bridal party to have photographs taken and to mingle with guests. The finger food provided was, in my opinion, of a higher standard than most weddings I have been to. Quality and quantity could not be faulted. In terms of drinks we went for the option of Cava/Prosecco with bottles of Corona/Heineken. Tea and coffee was plentiful.

The transition from the Old house to the Club house for the dinner went smoothly with guests slowly drifting from one building to the other at their leisure. Guests arriving to the club house first could simply grab a drink or 2 at the bar and mingle in the vicinity.

The dinner itself was prefect. We went for the steak option which has a slight supplement. There was sufficient time between courses. The facilities for speeches etc. were excellent. Again the movement of guests back to the Old house was hassle free with some guests choosing to take the 5 minute stroll through the leafy grounds and others taking the short minibus ride.

Our band were set up on the right side wall of the main hall (when entering through the front doors). We had the pop up bar set up in the main hall to the left hand side (it had been set up in the side drawing rooms for the drinks reception and then moved whilst we were in the club house for dinner). Even with the bar and band set up in the hall there was more than enough space for all guests to dance and move about. Some seats were set up in the main hall along the sides and in the corners. The side rooms, which contain comfortable sofas, were open to guests also.

Once the music finished at about 2.30 staff set up the late drinks area or “residents bar” in the main hall by bring sofas from the side rooms out. There was no issue with guitars being brought out and having a sing song. The night bar staff were very helpful accommodating. Guests who chose to stay up until the early hours were not hassled and were served drink without any issues.

My wife and I are a glad we chose Palmerstown house as our wedding venue and we would most certainly recommend it. I would like to give a special mention to Sinead who did an excellent job in making the day and the build up run so smoothly.

I would really like to thank Sinead and the staff at Palmerstown House . Their combination of friendliness, professionalism and efficiency is something special! From beginning to end I could not fault anything they did throughout the day and on the planning stages.

We had been a looking for a wedding venue with plenty of character and just something different, we had been looking online and came across Palmerstown House Estate, we live in the North of Ireland but the venue looked too good to be true, so we made the trip up to Naas and couldn't believe what we had came across, we booked our wedding for 17th August 2017. From the first conversation I had with Sinead into organizing our wedding you knew you had someone professional looking after you and advising you on your options, and also to Chelsea in the run up to the wedding, nothing was ever a hassle, and on the day itself it was perfect thanks to all staff including the two Dave's who look after us and our guests. Our guest are still taking about the venue and the food, thank you so much Palmerstown.

Myself and my husband loved our wedding day at Palmerstown House estate and it was a fantastic venue. The day was superb with Sinead helping us with each and every thing right up to the day itself. Our one negative was that the bar staff were mainly temporary staff and were not well trained, which led to queues at the bar after dinner. However the overall service from the wedding team was very professional and they were extremely helpful and friendly.

We booked out Palmerstown House Estate for a Friday & Saturday and had our wedding in the main house. It was truly remarkable. We all felt right at home. The staff and organisers were amazing and we just felt so relaxed and happy all weekend. There was never any pressure put on us to have this or that or add this or that. We just did our wedding our way and they were fully supportive of that. Only wish we could do it all again.

Staff went above and beyond. Special requests were facilitated with no fuss.
Food fab and not over priced. It was great to have the whole house to ourselves.
Looked at competitors in Kildare offering similar packages when deciding on a venue. We chose palmerstown for value and the professional impression made by the staff from the initial meeting.
Palmerstown house is definitely the best kept secret in Kildare!

We celebrated our wedding on the 27th August 2016, having our after ceremony at Palmerstown. From the first moment we saw the venue we knew it was perfect, and met all our criteria, Chelsea (wedding co-ordinator) was excellent from beginning to the end. All the staff made the weekend perfect especially Declan and Dave, who were on hand whenever we needed them.

We had the wedding reception on the Saturday in the golf club/stud, and then we also had a BBQ in the Manor House the following day, we would highly recommend the BBQ, this gave all our guests time to relax in the idilic surroundings of 900 acres and stunning gardens.

We would highly recommend palmerstown to anyone looking for a real traditional wedding venue, a lot of our family and friends travelled from the uk and around Europe, and are still talking about how perfect the weekend was. - thank you palmerstown!!!

Exceptional service from all member of staff.

Experience was next to none, thoroughly enjoyed the day one of the best weddings to attend as a guest.

Everything from the quality of the table settings to the more than accomadating staff was exceptional.

Highly recommend

Palmerstown is a beautiful venue but the manegment and staff are what really make it 5star.
Everything we requested was never a hassle and even some of our more peculiar requests (our dogs at drinks reception and arriving by tractor) were dealt with without a hitch
So happy we had our wedding there

We had our wonderful exotic reception in Palmerstown House on May 3rd 2014. I believe we were the first couple to marry there since the reopening. What a lavish day. From the very beginning to meeting Kevin Morrison General Manager, Coordinator and easily mistaken for a Hollywood star who radiates charm, sophistication and gave us the wedding couple a secure feeling and great confidence in him and in Palmerstown House.The food was superb and the organised dinner was so streamlined. The venue is fit for a King and Queen with all its antiques and massive historical rooms.It was the happiest wedding I have ever been at and will long be remembered through DVD and photographs. Thanks Kevin to you and your very well trained and friendly staff.
