Summerhill House Hotel

We had an incredible experience from start to finish for our wedding. Summerhill was the first & only wedding venue we viewed in February 2024 & once we saw it, we immediately made the decision to book.

Summerhill’s wedding planner, Ciara was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the first viewing until finishing our Day 2 dinner. She made us feel comfortable and was super informative, responsive & attentive. She was absolutely fantastic & took so much off our plate. She was always available if we needed to clarify small details, thanks for this!

Our wedding day was perfect. My wife, Stephanie & her bridal party stayed the night before in Summerhill & had a lovely dinner in the Terrace Restaurant. Steph used the Morning Room to get ready with her bridal party, which took any stress out of getting their hair & makeup done.

We got married in the White Room, which overlooks the Wicklow Mountains. It was absolutely stunning & was dressed with our flowers. It was brilliant to have the entire day on site & I couldn’t recommend this more as it takes any transport or logistical stress out of the equation. The reception was fantastic & we really enjoyed spending time with our guests prior to the meal.

Every single guest was raving about the magnificent food, expertly prepared by the incredibly talented, Mark. From the menu tasting right up until we finished our Day 2 family-style lunch, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had a sit down lunch on Day 2 with 40 people & this food somehow even better than the wedding food. Thanks again to Mark for making the meals an absolute highlight of both days.

Thanks to every staff member at Summerhill as they made our day an absolute dream. We even had the owner Lorraine, pop in on the day of the wedding to say hello & make sure everything was going off without a hitch - we thought this was a lovely touch! Couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Thanks again,

Stephanie & Stephen

We could not be happier with the service that Ciara provided for our wedding. We were having a micro wedding with a small number of people and all of the finishing touches on the venue made the day feel so special for us. The White Room was set up so beautifully for us and staged with the colours of our choosing for no additional cost! The dining room was set up exactly as we asked and was elegantly laid out. We could not fault the food it was absolutely gorgeous and everyone enjoyed every last bite if it! Thank you so much Ciara and the Summerhill team for making our day so memorable and special.

Our experience with Summerhill was stellar from beginning to end. The communication and planning support was timely and kind. We planned from Canada and when the day came, we felt a sense of ease and excitement.

Everyone raved about the food; you know it’s good when you continue to get compliments even down to the soup! We had a few requests and the team helped make them happen. We didn’t feel like it was all about money for them, where many venues it is. They were flexible and happy to work together.

If we had any suggestions to improve a situation they were prompt. We can’t recommended Summerhill enough, you will be left breathless!

Beautiful location full off character, great for a private wedding. The atmosphere was fantastic.The room for the ceremony and the reception was beautiful. Very family friendly. Bridal sweet was amazing. Literally everyone complimented how great the food was. All food presented throughout our stay was amazing. Seamus was also a pleasure to deal with.

Seamus, Anne and the team really looked after us and could not do more for us on the day and in the lead up.The food was well presented, plentiful and tasty. The service was professional and friendly. The whole hotel was cosy, warm and welcoming. Great day and night!

Wonderful venue, staff could not do enough for the whole wedding party. Would highly recommend

Great wedding venue, very reasonable and lovely staff

Summerhill is a fabulous wedding venue and has numerous opportunities for wedding photos in it's reception area and gardens. On our wedding day the staff were wonderful and the food was second to none. We received lots of compliments from our guests for our choice of venue and would highly recommend Summerhill House Hotel to others considering it as a wedding venue. Colm & Mary

The Summerhill were extremely helpful, flexible and absolutely nothing was a problem. They were fantastic to deal with - from reservations, to the bar and floor staff and not to mention the amazing wedding co-ordinator S?amus. The function room is perfect in that it's spacious, the bar is in the room (big selling point for us), the bathrooms are near and the smoking area is close too - not forgetting that it is absolutely beautiful when dressed too. The service was absolutely impeccable on the day. The food was outstanding. Being locals, many of our family members have been married in the Summerhill over the past few decades and all of them could not praise it enough for the food, service and how stunning it was in general. Everyone is still raving about the different aspects of the Summerhill and I wouldn't change a thing about the day.

As soon as we drove into the grounds of summerhill house we got excited and just hoped the inside was as nice, it did not disappoint, it was amazing. Seamus was such a gentleman to deal with, nothing was too much hassle, he took all our ideas onboard with no issues. Seamus answered any questions we had and always put our mind at ease. All the staff were amazing the day of the wedding the food was amazing. All our guest have been raving about the venue, food and staff. Thank you so much for an amazing day, a special thanks to Seamus.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in Summerhill House Hotel in May 2019. We had an absolutely fantastic day! Thank you so much, we loved the hotel, the grounds, the food, the staff, (especially Seamus), the accommodation, the whole atmosphere created a wonderful surrounding for our wedding. We liked it so much we would do it all over again and not change a thing.

I just cannot recommend Summerhill House Hotel highly enough. From the stunning grounds and reception room, to the delicious and plentiful food, to the friendly and helpful staff, everything was just perfect. So many of our guests remarked on the portions of food, no one was hungry (which can often be a complaint at weddings!). The value for money is amazing compared to so many other wedding venues we visited and we are just so happy and thankful to have had our big day in Summerhill. Thank you so much to all the staff! I would highly recommend this venue to any future wedding couples!!

The Summerhill is such a beautiful hotel with friendly staff who help so much leading up to our wedding. On our big day all the staff made myself and partner and guest feel so welcome that we felt the house was ours for the day from the food to the beautiful rooms our day was perfect thank you so much to all the staff at the Summerhill Enniskerry

Summerhill were a dream to work with in planning our wedding. We looked at a number of venues across dublin/Wicklow/Meath/kildare/wexford and each one was always missing one of the key features i wanted for our wedding. Until we saw Summerhill, the friendly atmosphere, the romantic setting, the attention to detail, the venue decor,and the warm welcome we received is what made me know there and then it was the venue for us. We wanted to add in some things, take away some bits and slightly adjust the menu and Seamus and the team were always so accomodating. Each request or idea i had, was responded to almost immediately and whether it was big or small, it was always a positive reply. When i felt i was being a bridezilla over the details, i was always met with a friendly and genuine response. I felt so at ease in the lead up to my wedding knowing the professionals at Summerhill had it all under control, this took a lot of pressure off in terms of planning such an event. It is extremely good value for money, the food and service is second to none, its a beautiful and romantic venue, where you can feel so comfortable and special on your wedding day.

Staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We had some issues and it was no problem to them to help us. I really can't praise them enough!

Beautiful grounds and all the guests were pleased with the room. We had a few last minute changes and these were done without a hitch.
The staff were so relaxed and helpful on the day.

The below review is what i've posted on TripAdvisor (to save me writing it out twice!) - however as that's a general tourist site and this page is wedding focused, i'd like to add that Summerhill is absolutely perfect for a country-house type of wedding, and the ceremony room is just stunning. I count not fault one bit of my wedding here. See below review.


We got married in early December at Summerhill, we had guests from all over Ireland and the UK, and mainland Europe. Every single guest was super impressed at the wedding, the fantastic welcoming staff, the food, the rooms and overall had a first class customer experience.

We (bride and groom) also stayed here in October and found everything to be of a really high standard.


Few specific mentions:
Ludo, Kasia, Emma, Nicola, Linda, Roisin - the nicest bunch of people you could meet and went out of their way to make us and our guests feel so welcome, nothing was a problem and I heard loads of lovely stories from guests in the days after the wedding about how fantastic the staff all were.

Kitchen/waiting staff - fabulous food the night before the wedding (about 30 of us stayed the night before) and the actual wedding meal was gorgeous, everyone commented on it.

Staff at breakfast the following morning made my 95 year old grandad a special breakfast that wouldnt usually be on the menu - they also were so helpful to him during his stay.

Wedding planning team - brilliant - nothing but praise for everyone involved in the wedding. We got married in the ceremony room which is a MILLION times nicer than a cold draughty church! So we had the entire wedding onsite. When we lost our kids wedding outfits 40 mins before we were due to get married, they calmly delayed the ceremony and kept the guests all watered and happy until (2 trips back to our house later!!) we managed to get the kids sorted.

The spa is fab! amazing massage by a lovely lady, a few of us used the spa and loved it.

Fair play to the really lovely guy working the residents bar, cool looking dude with dreadlocks, he didnt bat an eyelid at the loud sing song that went on till god knows what time, and he was back on duty the next day full of smiles and chat.

The best endorsement I can give Summerhill is that several of our guests have actually booked to go back for a stay in the new year, they loved it so much.


Thank you so much to all at Summerhill for giving us the most fantastic wedding day we could have hoped for, we've had nothing but compliments from the guests about how great everything was from start to finish.

Everyone was so caring & helpful,at no time did we feel 100%was not given to us. On our day it was just magical & still a year on our guests still recall our wedding as a very special day in everyway.

The team at the Summerhill House Hotel made sure that every last detail of our Wedding Day was perfect, our guests were looked after and that everything ran smoothly. I can't praise their service and dedication to quality enough!

We had a fantastic day for our New Year's Eve Wedding, and Aidan and the team couldn't be more helpful. We wanted a different menu for the night, and Aidan couldn't have been more helpful and obliging. The value for money, venue and the team were incredibly warm and made our day. The reception and bar staff were welcoming and we got to know them all, as we spent a good few days down in Enniskerry. We weren't just lucky to have found this spot, but worked together with the venue to deliver a fantastic event, particularly with our family travelling from Australia. Cannot recommend Aidan and the team more enough.

Hi Aiden,Tom and Helen-
Where do i start well at the beginning. I booked my wedding in October 2011. But
nothing could have prepared me for the day we had.
Aiden and Tom you deserve a reward how many times in 48 hrs did i change the plans? And the response was ''its grand we will sort it.'' The hotel looked amazing,
the food was amazing and the hotel rooms were amazing. The comments we got
back from our guests were: Food was excellent, Arrival food was great, Dinner was faultless -please pass on our compliments to the staff Waiter staff were so friendly and efficient. Rooms were gorgeous.
Setting was intimate,cosy,ambience giving
and comfortable. Front desk staff and bar staff were always willing to help. The
attention to detail and the reception we received throughout the day and
throughout our planning was so friendly. I cannot praise the hotel enough.
Everyone we had said it was a great wedding. Helen thank you for all your help
advice and kindness. Aiden/Tom, thanks for making our day so amazing it surpassed all our expectations. I'll send on some pics when we get some.
