Powerscourt House and Gardens

Orlaith and the team at Powerscourt House are incredible. There was no ask too big and they were so responsive and helpful while we were planning our big day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We had bad weather on our wedding day so didn't get as much use of the gardens as we would have hoped for photos, but it really made no difference because the venue worked so well and is so beautiful and our photographer got beautiful shots indoors. The ballroom itself is so grand and elegant and when it is dressed and decorated it is so impressive. So many of our guests commented on the food, service and the staff on the day and said that everything was just excellent. I would highly recommend the venue to anyone planning their wedding.

Excellent service throughout. Very helpful and accommodation to requests even up to the day of the wedding and after.

It's not the cheapest venue but you 100% get what you pay for and for a summer wedding with long evenings getting the gardens and the view it's well worth it

We cannot thank Conrad and the staff enough for the most amazing wedding day we could possibly imagine! Throughout the process we worked with Conrad and he was outstanding to say the least. He made sure throughout the day that we did not have to worry about anything no matter how big or small! Our guests consisted of people from as near as Enniskerry and as far as Boston and New York and they were so impressed with the grounds and venue and have not stopped talking about the most beautiful wedding they have ever been too! My beautiful wife wont stop talking about wanting to do it all over again! Thank you to Conrad and everyone else that made our wedding day nothing short of perfect!!!

It has taken a few months to take a step back from the most magical wedding day and reflect and come up with the right words to express our thanks and admiration for Conrad, Feast Catering and Powerscourt House & Gardens. We couldn't have imagined it any better. Conrad, you are truly amazing. So calm, flexible and understanding, you are great to work with. Your team also did a tremendous job. All the ideas and hard work leading up to it all came together and you really made our wedding day what it was - we CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. You made it easy to completely trust in you and your team and let go on the day. Feast, even months later we are still getting praises for how good the food was - everyone especially LOVED the goat cheese tart. Powerscourt as a setting was perfect as well - of course anyone who has been already knows what a beautiful place it is but the rooms upstairs for dinner & dancing were perfectly situated and really didn't need much to make it wedding day ready. They are beautiful on their own. We were lucky enough to get a very sunny day and held our ceremony outdoors - logistically not the easiest but Conrad made it possible and we couldn't be happier. I won't go on and on about all the things that went right on the day but just another huge thank you so for everything!

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience with Feast. Conrad made us feel like nothing was too much trouble to arrange, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the first canapés through to the midnight snacks, everything was fresh, delicious and served with a smile. I think I am safe in saying that every single one of our guests had an amazing day, and we have Feast (and some incredible weather) to thank for that.

Powerscourt Gardens is somewhere that I have been going since a young girl. I find it really peaceful and beautiful and always find myself feeling very happy when i'm there, whether it's Winter or Summer. The minute Ed went into the house he didn't want to look any further. So it was a really easy decision!

The entire day was really brilliant, but one of my favourite parts was enjoying the drinks reception in the sun outside. The views were possibly even more breathtaking that day! Conrad and all the caterers from FEAST were so attentive and professional.

I felt very lucky to be having a wedding reception is such a gorgeous place.

Just a short note to thank you for co-ordinating such a fabulous day for our wedding. It was a miracle that the sun came out and the views of the gardens were spectacular. The house itself looked so beautiful especially the main dining room. The food was delicious with compliments coming from all of our guests on the quality and service ever since. You made it all seem so seamless and we really couldn't have done it without you! Quality Service & Spectacular Gardens!

?We always dreamed of having our wedding reception in Powerscourt House. Having travelled throughout the world, there are few gardens or estates that rival Powerscourt in beauty or romance. Our reception took place here at Christmas and everything about the day exceeded our expectations. The venue and grounds provided for a truly unique and magical wedding and our guests were as enchanted as we have always been. The warm and attentive service we received from the staff at Powerscourt House was also truly special.?

We could not have asked for more, and everything was absolutely perfect! The house itself is just stunning, very light and spacious, beautifully renovated and has an absolutely incredible atmosphere. The view of the mountain and the gardens from the house is breathtaking and we were so excited for our guests (especially for those travelling from U.S.A., Russia, and United Kingdom) to enjoy it on the day. When the planning began for the big day, we knew we were in good hands, when Conrad offered us his support in everything we needed. He was always there for us to answer all the questions (and we had MANY questions), promptly responding to our emails and having numerous phone calls with us. The day before and on the day of the wedding itself, Conrad made sure everything is as perfect as it could possibly be. We are forever grateful for all the hard work that he has done. The team that worked with Conrad deserves a special shout out as well, all of them were very professional, friendly and attentive to us and our guests.

We have to separately mention the food and wines offered for the wedding, we LOVED every single dish we tasted during the food tasting, so deciding what we want on the wedding menu wasn't easy at all, however we finally agreed to go for salmon as a starter, guinea fowl and halibut as a main course, and poached pear as a dessert, we had no regrets. The food was prepared to perfection, served on time, and we received many many compliments from our guests who enjoyed their dinner very much.

As for many couple, our wedding was a very special and memorable day to us. But we are delighted that all our 110 guests enjoyed the day as much as we did. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank every single member of Powerscourt House team who made our wedding the best of our lives!

We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Powerscourt House for making our wedding day so memorable. From the moment we visited the venue we knew that this was the perfect place for our wedding and it lived up to all our expectations.

The downstairs room for our ceremony was cosy and intimate and having our reception outside in the gardens with ?that view? was just perfect, although the room upstairs was so nice that we knew our guests would be happy inside or out.

We had a lot of people travelling from the UK so it was important to us that they were wowed by the venue and beautiful Wicklow scenery, which they of course were! We received so many compliments about how beautiful the house and the gardens were. Not to mention having stunning photos as a result of the backdrop.

The staff at Feast also provided us with a perfectly smooth day and thought of everything we would need. The food was delicious and the wine flowed. Both the house staff and Feast helped us so much in the run up to the wedding and could not have been more helpful.

We and all our guests had such a great day and night we wish we could do it all again. We would not hesitate to recommend this venue to any couple planning their big day.

Dominic and Eimear Reading

Firstly I would like to thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day go as smoothly as it did.

I can't praise you enough for all of your help. From when both Gillian and I went to view Powerscourt as a possible venue for our wedding reception to the day itself. From the very start you made us feel welcome and that anything was possible with this dream location and venue.

From the number of meetings we had you were always accommodating to our wishes and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process which took a lot a pressure off both of us.

From giving us options to where to put the band to what the room would look like on the day, you painted a very clear picture of what we would see upon our arrival on our wedding day. We would like to thank you for our tasting day as well, the food and options you gave us were amazing and you exceeded all of our expectations. You helped us come up with a fantastic menu with delicious food that we have received so many compliments about, but this is something we cannot take the credit for, it was however amazing and we were delighted to have all the various components that we wanted, including our extra dessert!
Upon arrival to Powerscourt Annette was waiting there to instruct the driver of our car where to park the car. Once we stepped out of the car she was there waiting with two glasses of champagne. The rest of the Feast staff were at hand to serve the rest of our guests.

Our photographer brought the both of us off for our first session of photographs but once we were finished Annette was waiting there with our favorite canap?.

As the dinner bell rang the Feast staff ushered our guests into the dining hall but Annette took us to one side and brought us to our own private room to have a few moments to ourself before our introduction. Inside the room was a bottle of champagne and again, our favorite canap?. Nice touch. Annette came to tell us that it was time to enter the hall but before she opened the door she told us exactly how to reach our table through all of the people. Throughout the meal Annette kept a close eye on us and checked every so often that we were ok. She arrived with the microphone each time we wished to make a speech so we didn't need to worry about timing.

When it was time to go the staff were nice enough to contact our hotel to arrange a car to pick us up.

We have received nothing but compliments about the venue, the service and especially the quality of the food.

It was the attention to detail and the small things that added such special touches to the service we received from Annette and the staff at Feast on our wedding day. I could not recommend them enough.

There was not a single guest who didn't remark on how stunning and elegant the room was, the efficiency and friendliness of the staff and of course how breath-taking the gardens are. I don't believe there was a plate which was not emptied during the meal and I heard a number of guests even requested second helpings! Everything from the delicious canapés to the d?cor was complimented and we were so humbled by the entire experience. It was a magical day from our perspective and I hope it wasn't too stressful on your end. Please accept our sincerest gratitude for making our day as extraordinary as it was.
No words could accurately express our gratitude for truly making our day so special.

?Now that the dust has settled I feel it is important that I write to thank you and put on the record how happy Isobel, Jamie, Kay and I were with how everything went on our big day. You and all the staff at Feast were really great, as evidenced by the many compliments we have received from guests. And of course your personal attention not just on the day but right through the run up was second to none?.
