Poulaphouca House and Falls

Evanne, Mark and every member of the team at Poulaphuca were enormously helpful and kind on our wedding day - they looked after every little detail and more, going above and beyond to make sure our reception went perfectly. Evanne even delivered canapés up to the bedroom and printed out speeches for us - honestly, she could not have been kinder, more helpful, thoughtful or supportive on the day - she was fantastic. The food was exquisite - every dish was just sublime - everyone was commenting on the deliciousness of dinner! Hats off to the chefs - we can’t wait to come back and sample more of their amazing cooking. All our guests also commented on how lovely and friendly every member of staff was - good-humoured and smiling and helpful all day and late into the night - it was really noticed and appreciated. We had a few communication issues during the initial stages of planning our wedding but these were resolved very well and I cannot praise Evanne, Mark and all the team at Poulaphuca highly enough for everything they did, they were just brilliant. We had a wonderful day and night at Poulaphuca - my only regret is not having a go on the trampoline - but we’ll go back again soon! Thank you all so, so much!

I had the most amazing day of my life here in Poulaphouca. We got married on Dec 3rd with 34 guests. I woke up the next day and wished I could do it all over again! We had our ceremony in the barn which was such a lovely space. Then had the drinks reception back up in the house in the bar, which is full of character. We then moved into the dining room to have dinner. Then back out to the bar for music and dancing. The vibe was just so relaxed, and Evanne the wedding coordinator was always on hand to answer any questions and to make sure the day ran smoothly. The staff in Poulaphouca were lovely. I had a vegetarian guest and when the late night food came out the waitress looked for my vegetarian to make sure she got a beetroot burger. Which I thought was great. They made sure everyone was being looked after. Also the food, wow All the compliments to the chefs the 3 cooks. Amazing so tasty. When we went for our complimentary lunch before the wedding we knew we had made the right choice the food was just chefs kiss! I will never forget my day and night in Poulaphouca. It is such a lovely venue with lots of character lovely views for photos and the staff were great too. Thumbs up for Poulaphouca.

We had a wonderful wedding day at Poulaphouca House in November 2021. Unfortunately our original date in October had to be rescheduled at 2 days notice as the groom tested positive for Covid. We were met with such kindness and understanding by all at Poulaphouca particularly Evanne who had a new date for us in record time. When looking for a wedding venue we wanted somewhere that had a nice setting with a feeling of space. Poulaphouca is a deceptively spacious venue with all the charm West Wicklow has to offer. The newly refurbished Barn really delivered with its beautiful views, high ceilings and its rustic feeling. We used this space for both our ceremony and dinner. Poulaphouca lends itself to the use of various spaces and Evanne is very helpful with her suggestions on how you could use them. We were very fortunate to use most of the spaces and the long bar was a big hit for our drinks reception. We consistently received positive feedback from all our guests about the food. It is exceptional. Everything from the canapes at the drinks reception, the main meal and the late night snacks were of a really high standard. You can tell the 3cooks are extremely talented and work hard to deliver excellent food. The staff were super friendly and made us feel so special throughout the day. As we did our own center pieces Iain was so accommodating meeting us the day before and paid remarkable attention to detail in setting up our tables for the dinner. Getting married i didn't realise the importance and the demands of navigating the day. Evanne handled this effortlessly throughout the day ensuring it went smoothly even carrying my dress at one stage, getting safety pin for bridesmaid and getting my children to handout party bags - great idea and they were delighted!! The positive atmosphere, the strong attention to detail, versatility of spaces and the exquisite food is testament to the hard work and effort the team at Poulaphouca provide in making this a fabulous wedding venue. Thank you for helping to make our day so special.

A magical place and set up that made our day so special for us and our guests. The food was fantastic and the staff working here are an incredible bunch of people and looked after us all so well. The owner Daniel’s passion comes through in all the details and nothing gets lost on that journey to where he is going! Place and food is fabulous and the vision for Poulaphouca House future is amazing! If you want a personal intimate gathering for any occasion there is no where else to go! Thank you guys for a wonderful day and weekend and spoiling us.

We had a day that exceeded all of our expectations and had an absolute blast at Poulaphouca! The guests all adored Poulaphouca and had a great time complimenting the venue for the food, decoration, vibe and the staff. The staff were both super professional and accommodating! We both want to particularly thank all the team working in Poulaphouca. They were just brilliant. Great service etc, but also great craic, helpful with all the guests, and kept everything on track. There were a few times when I was a bit lost on what to do next. Evanne, Ian and the gang were on hand to let me know what to do and how to do it. That was invaluable - filled us with confidence and let us really enjoy the moment knowing that everything was going well. We both felt great working with Evanne and the team from the start. They were really warm, accommodating, professional, and provided lots of great guidance. They went above and beyond to ensure that all guests felt included and we really appreciated that. Thanks to all who helped to make our day so special!

My Partner and I had the most fantastic wedding at Poulaphouca! Everything exceeded our expectations, and we had a blast from start to finish. Our guests all adored Poulaphouca as a venue and had a great time... we didn't stop hearing praises for the venue, the food, and the vibe. The team were just brilliant. Great service but also great craic, helpful with all the guests, and kept everything on track, even providing my partner and me with guidance as needed. That was invaluable – gave us lot of confidence and let us really enjoy the moment knowing that everything was going well. Special thanks to Evanne and the team as we both felt great working with them all. They were all really warm, accommodating, professional, and able to steer us when we needed help. The team were able to work with some of our unique requests which made our day even more special. We're really glad to have chosen Poulaphouca for our special day.

Poulaphouca was recommended to us by our wedding planner when our wedding in Spain was put into question during covid. Without hesitation we booked without visiting (due to covid) having seen the beautiful photos, we were so happy and we were even more blown away when we eventually got to visit the house and barn, the bedrooms are beautifully designed and the décor and the views from the barn are breath-taking. From the outset the communication with Evanne was fantastic, really putting us at ease, having to plan a second wedding. The service during our tasting and on the day was second to none, absolutely everyone commented on the coordination and the attentiveness of the staff, their professional but extremely friendly approach made the day exactly what we wanted. A special shout-out to the staff who made sure we got to taste all the canapés and always had a drink in hand! We knew from recommendation that the food would be outstanding, but from our tasting we were absolutely blown away with the quality, presentation, and taste, and this was the exact reaction our guests had on the day. The food at our wedding was an extremely important element for us, absolutely everything delivered by the team was outstanding and exceeded our expectations, the feather blade beef was the talk of the night, and we still have guests commenting on the breakfast. We would highly recommend Poulaphouca to anyone for any wedding or event, we are already thinking about when we can go back! All of our guests were fantastic and we have already heard of our guests recommending to friends, and one friend of a friend having booked, we are jealous of anyone getting to go back for a wedding! We couldn’t have wished for a better day; the outstanding team went above and beyond.

From the minute we saw poulaphuca House and Falls, we knew this was were we wanted to get married. From the beginning the communication was great and the atmosphere they have created on site is second to none. When we saw the barn it literally took our breath away. The view is incredible and the space is so beautifully decorated on the inside. From reception up by the bar to dancing, our guests were well looked after all night and had the time of their lives! Everyone said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding and the wine was delicious. All the staff are incredibly kind and warm and kept everyone’s glasses topped up throughout the dinner. All dietary requirements were also taken care of. We also had our day two at the venue and we were so happy we did. The food the next day was outstanding and the bar is a lovely setting as it spills out to an outdoor space. The accommodation on site was so comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Overall the staff could not do enough for us and with covid restrictions in place, we felt they really went above and beyond. People have said that it was one of the best weddings they have attended. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this venue. The opposite to your typical hotel wedding! Thank you Poulaphuca house and Falls.

We were absolutely delighted with the experience we had with Poulaphouca House and Falls, from the time we booked the venue last August through to the weekend we got married (31/7/21). The spaces in the venue were incredible, and this is what initially drew us in. There were so many spaces to choose from, and we had the ceremony outside under the canopy, dinner in the renovated barn and the reception that followed in the house! There were also beautiful places to choose from for photos, and we got family photos in the gorgeous gardens and then photos of the two of us at the waterfalls. Though the venue is amazing in itself, it is the people working at Poulaphouca House and Falls that make it shine. We had so many comments from our guests on how friendly and professional everyone was, and it was also clear they were really knowledgeable about the food and wine. Even with all the uncertainty in relation to weddings over the last year, we always felt confident in our choice of venue as Evanne was always there to answer any questions we had. She, along with Iain, Dan and all of the others at Poulaphouca House, made sure everything ran very smoothly on the day. We had a few last-minute requests and changes and everything was met with a smile – we really felt that we were among friends. The atmosphere that everyone at Poulaphouca House created was really special, and added a bit of magic to our day! The food was out of this world. Everything - from the granola parfaits and cooked breakfasts, to the melt-in-your-mouth featherblade beef and delicious sticky toffee pudding – was exceptional. All of the food was so fresh and beautifully put together, and the menus we could choose from were creative and unique. We loved every single meal we had over the weekend. We had very high expectations of the food, service and accommodation for our wedding and these expectations were exceeded on every occasion – we could not recommend Poulaphouca House and Falls enough as a wedding venue! We have the fondest of memories of our wedding weekend and we already look forward to going back to Poulaphouca House for dinner in the coming months!

We could never have found a nicer place then poulaphuca. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The food was out of this world. Our guests are still taking about it. The staff were so accommodating not only to myself and Aidan but to all of our guest's. They really made us and our guest's feel so welcome. I can not praise this venue enough it is incredible. All at poulaphuca really made our day so special.

We are absolutely thrilled with how our wedding day went. Thank you so much to Poulaphouca House and Falls. The food, the atmosphere, the accommodation and the communication were all top class and we would recommend the venue in a heartbeat!!

We booked our wedding in Poulaphouca House 10 weeks before our wedding day. The house had so much to offer with so many different spaces to use on the day. We rented the house out the night before the wedding which included a private dinner. The service was outstanding. Our family and friends are still talking about how amazing and attentive the staff were. We were treated like royalty. Our wedding ceremony was held in Russborough house, only 5minutes away from Poulaphouca House. It is a breathtaking ceremony venue. We had our reception drinks with live music outdoors in the garden area of Poulaphouca House. The pavilion was decorated beautifully for dinner. Everyone loved it as it was completely different to your standard hotel wedding but still provided the quality service. The food was up there with some of the best we have tasted in Ireland. We used the ballroom for drinks and music after dinner. The fairy lights created a gorgeous atmosphere for the evening. Evanne the wedding co ordinator was beyond helpful and attentive throughout. Our guests even commented on her fantastic organisational skills. Overall the variety of top quality spaces, amazing staff and delicious food provided us with a wedding experience that will be treasured forever.

We changed our venue to Poulaphouca at very short notice due to a Covid related cancellation at our original venue. From our first experience Evanne and all the team were really welcoming and helpful. They were really flexible and responsive to any queries and no request was a problem. On the day service and food was excellent. Its a lovely relaxed setting, with a great variety of indoor and outdoor spaces and we were delighted how it all turned out. Would certainly recommend

Poulaphuca House & Falls did my micro wedding & they did a fantastic job. Evanne, who is the Wedding Manager, went above & beyond my expectations & really made our wedding everything I wantwd. The staff were amazing, they bent over backwards to make sure every single one of our guests were catered to. I would highly recommend Poulaphuca House & Falls. I wish I coud do the day all over again the exact same way.

Everything was perfect! Lovely location, the staff were very attentive went the extra mile for us on the day. Evanne was a wonderful wedding planner and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her. The food was exceptional with so many compliments from guests. The service we received was beyond top class and we honestly had the best day ever!! If you want the most perfect day, then book Poulaphouca House & Falls. Thank you all so much for a memorable day.

Thanks to everyone at Poulaphouca House and Falls. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and they had the venue looking great and very welcoming to us and all of our guests. We ended up changing our venue to Poulaphouca House and Falls with a few weeks notice given to them and a big credit is due to them for catering to us. A big part of our reason for changing to Poulaphouca was that they could have all the functions outdoors and with Covid-19 going on at the moment that was a big plus factor for us and our guests. We had just under the 50 guests attending and only got excellent reviews back from them in relation to the food and the great time had by all. We would highly recommend Poulaphouca House and Falls to anyone considering them. A special thanks to Evanne, Daniel and Gillian.

Our wedding at Poulaphouca House and Falls was everything we dreamed of. The help and guidance we were given from the organising team was excellent, all their suggestions worked out perfectly. We had the most amazing meal in the garden, covered in a beautiful stretch tent. The food was first class, the band were superb, service excellent and the organisation of a coach to bring our guests home was perfect to keep the party going late into the night without any worry. We stayed the night in the luxurious House and a gorgeous breakfast in the morning. Hayley and I really had our dream wedding, it ran absolutely seamlessly. A huge thank you to all the members of the Poulaphouca Team, their hard work, enthusiasm and diligence it was astounding. Well done to Dan and Claire, best of luck.

My daughters wedding was a truly fabulous success in an amazing romantic tent nestled in the garden with the sun streaming in. From a drinks reception to begin with the canopes were incredible including pretty afternoon tea cake stands loaded with delicate treats. The staff were friendly helpful and encouraging. The dinner was served in the stretch tent to a back drop of fliowers and blossom trees lending a fairy tale quality to the ambience. Dinner was totally fabulous. Service smooth and all the guests had a great time. The band were full of fun and the DJ later kept us all dancing happily to the early hours. Rustic pizza was enjoyed by everyone later in the evening. We all stayed over and woke to a prettily decorated breakfast room where the wedding flowed had been set up to keep the ambience going. The breakfast was first class and we all enjoyed the apres wedding chats. Our experience with having a wedding in Poulaphouca house was an immense success. Well done to daniel Clair and all the team.
