The Anglers Rest

We had our wedding in August this year at the Anglers. We do not have enough good words to say about the whole experience, they are amazing. When I booked I spoke to Jenny who showed me the room and told me all of the information that I needed. I wanted a small wedding which she changed a couple of things around to make a package to suit my wishes perfectly. From start to finish it was such a stress free and enjoyable experience. As we got closer to the day we had many dealings with Agata who is simply amazing at her job. She completely reassured me that she had everything organised from the beginning and she really did. We could really enjoy the day. All of our guests commended how beautiful the venue was, how nice the staff were, how AMAZING the food was. And every single person said to us that the day felt really relaxed and enjoyable and I really put that down to Agata and her team as they are excellent at what they do. I would recommend this venue 100% and I'm looking forward to our return.

I honestly have no words to describe how amazing our wedding was at the Angler's Rest. Before we signed the contract, Jenny was amazing and extremely accommodating. She was fast in answering all of our queries in no time, which made us super confident in having the wedding with them. After choosing the venue, we were looked after by Betty, mostly, who was the sweetest. My bride brain made me mix up a few things on the wedding day, and she went above and beyond to make sure all was sorted and that we could enjoy every bit of our day.
Apart from all the help we had from them, the food is absolutely delicious. The venue is intimate, and perfect for mid sized weddings, like ours (75 guests).The day of the wedding, Betty made sure to organize things so everything would be perfect. It's like she had known us for years.
I cannot recommend them enough.

A huge thank you to all the staff at Angler’s for helping make our wedding day an enjoyable, memorable day for all our guests.

We originally had our wedding booked for July 2020 and had to reschedule three times due to Covid and our living abroad. Everyone we were in contact with was responsive and accommodating to our multiple changes of date over the years. We are amazingly grateful to them for their flexibility and understanding.

The venue itself was wonderful. The ceremony room was beautifully made up, and we didn’t have to add anything ourselves as it was already done for us. Likewise with the reception room which looked amazing with its minimal but elegant decor and lighting.

The food and service was amazing. I really enjoyed the beef, and people were raving about the monkfish. The kids menu also looked great, and the children present seemed very happy with their food.

We liked that they suggested we do the speeches after we ordered but before the starters came out, which was preferable to after dessert.

We were worried beforehand that with only 70 guests, there would be little atmosphere. However, the way the room was made out made it seem like it was a much bigger wedding than it was.

Obviously organising a wedding can be a stressful ordeal, but we needn’t have stressed with the level of professionalism, care, and detail that the team Angler’s put in to make this a great day for the both of us and our guests.

Our guests raved about the venue after and we couldn’t have been happier with the venue, the staff, and the food. I would highly recommend the Angler’s Rest to anyone getting married.

A huge thank you to Agatha and Betty and the team for making our family event so enjoyable and memorable. The location and premises were ideal, the food excellent and everyone was so helpful both with the planning and on the day. We would highly recommend the Angler’s Rest and we hope to have many more celebrations there.

Thank you so much to Agata, Betty and the rest of the Anglers Rest Team!
The venue is dedicated to wedding celebrations, the team are obviously extremely experienced organisers (who gave brilliant suggestions for the evening), layout is spacious (ceremony room, bar area, dining area and balcony) and perfect for a wedding.
Everything on the day was exactly as we requested, the layout was perfect, the tables were perfectly dressed, the food delicious, good wine, and the service highly attentive. It was exactly the celebration we wanted, and could not have gone any better.
We would highly recommend Wright's Anglers Rest for a perfectly organised, stress free, highly enjoyable wedding.

Amazing venue, I would 100% recommend to anyone considering Anglers rest for their big day. From the moment we reached out to Aga we knew we had the perfect spot. They were incredibly helpful in all correspondences and nothing was too much trouble, they really helped to take the stress out of planning. All our guests agreed that the food was exceptionally good and the staff were fantastic on the day. Many thanks to Aga and the team for helping make our day so special and fun!

We are delighted we had our wedding in the Anglers Rest! Agata and Betty are the dream team of wedding coordinators and they were always on hand to answer any of our questions. They were extremely professional and even though there are many weddings in the venue, they made us feel very special for our important day. If you book with them, you won’t regret it.

We got married in anglers rest on the 30.04.23 and from the very start with dealing with the venue they were amazing. From booking with Jenny to meeting the wedding organiser, agata was stress free . Agata was honestly the best wedding planner anyone would ask for, she is just amazing… any question we had or request her response was always “no problem” she made our day so special and we cannot thank her enough. You can see she loves her job and she is honestly the best at it. All staff at anglers on the day were fantastic and made the day run smoothly. The perfect venue for a small intimate wedding. Food was 10/10 also.

All staff at Anglers Rest are very friendly and accommodating. We fell in love with the venue from the very beginning, it had a very cosy and authentic vibe which we both loved. Management and staff went above and beyond to fulfil our requirements and requests. Thank you so much guys!

When thinking about what to say about Agata and her expert team at the Angler’s Rest, all we can do is gush our forever thanks and recommend them without a shred of doubt for your wedding day. The venue, atmosphere, decorations, food, drinks etc etc were beyond anything we could have ever imagined or wished for. We have received endless compliments from our guests (including a rake of internationals!) about how much they enjoyed everything, and how the Angler’s blew their mind for a full Irish wedding experience. They deserve, and earn, every and all awards that come their way.

In particular, we cannot leave this review without resounding praise for the woman who runs the show so kindly, professionally and calmly – Agata. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in good hands and she patiently answered any query we had and provided expert advice on numbers, set-up, payments, cheese decorations (!) and timings. Besides all this, she injected fun, positive energy and craic into all of the arrangements and took all of the stress out for us. Our tasting experience was like sitting back with a dear friend to thrash out the final details of the day and you can just see how much each event means to her before, during and even after the experience. Agata will greet you with the biggest smile and warmth on the day, and even tear up when you are saying your goodbyes and thanking her for everything the day after.

So overall, we can honestly say we had the BEST wedding day with them and time that we will treasure forever. We now look forward to visiting the Angler’s Rest for dinner to celebrate every anniversary (preferably on a monthly basis!) for years to come…and maybe even with Agata at our table!! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We had our wedding on the 4th of March in the Angler's Rest . It was the most amazing day . We couldn't have picked a better venue than to have our big day . Agata was amazing to deal with in the planning of the wedding . On the day itself Agata and all the staff were absolutely brilliant .The food was so so good nobody had a bad word to say about it . Everyone loved the venue and the relaxed atmosphere of it . We would highly recommend booking the Angler's Rest for a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed at all with it . Thank you so much again to everyone who looked after us Christina and Antonios

We wanted a cosy, welcoming atmosphere where our guests could relax and have a great time and the Angler's Rest staff went above and beyond to provide that. The venue is gorgeous, the food is delicious and unlike other venues I spoke to and researched Agata and the staff were flexible and happy to change things around to suit us. To have such a beautiful Dubln venue with a country feel is so special, we took our photos in grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham before the ceremony but drove through the Phoenix park and spotted lots of dear en route to the venue which was so special for family from abroud to see. The only thing we would have changed would have been to have lower minimum numbers considering it was off season but at least the minimum was much more reasonable than other venues.

We got married in the Angler's Rest on the 6th of February 2023. The whole team were absolutely amazing to deal with and we had the most amazing day from start to finish.
Everything ran so smoothly, the venue looked absolutely beautiful and of course the food was unbelievably delicious.
We got so many compliments from our guests on the food, decor and generally lovely atmosphere of the Angler's Rest.
We couldn't have asked for a better day. We will definitely be back again soon for a visit to soak in the amazing atmosphere and sample more of the amazing food.
Thanks so much again to Agata and the team!
Aoife and Mark

We couldn't recommend the anglers rest enough. They made the day so magical. The staff, the food, the service and the venue were just phenomenal. No request was too big for them and they decorated the ceremony room and meal area so so beautifully.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the fabulous staff at the Anglers Rest, especially Deirdra, Betty, Agatha and Ollie. My sister Siobhan and her partner Tony got married there on the 24th September. A fabulous day was had by all due to the care and attention of all the staff. The food was excellent especially the mashed potato. So looking forward to going back for s meal in the restaurant. Thanks for making the day so special. Wishing yous all the best.

Absolutely amazing venue! Intimate, cosy, first class food stunning location. Agata, Dee and all the staff were exceptional from booking right through to end of the night. Thank you so much to you all...you really did make our day extra special.

We couldn’t thank the Anglers Wrest more for there professional and friendly service. We had the the best day and we never wanted it to end. The food was amazing and everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it. The staff made our day extra special and made us feel like we were the only bride and groom they had ever catered for. A special mention for Deirdre and Agatha they helped make our day extra special. If you are looking for an intimate and special wedding day I would highly recommend the Anglers Wrest you can’t go wrong. I wish I could do it all over again .

Agata was amazing, so relaxed and helpful. Really put us at ease. Venue were incredibly flexible & accommodating. Service / timings were perfect. We went a bit rogue on the speech timings which could have interrupted the dinner service, but the staff we're on the ball and no interruption was had. The flowers the venue did for us were gorgeous, we didn't have a florist and we didn't need one, the venue did such a good job. I would recommend everyone to get married in Anglers Rest. Thank you to all the staff for making our day so special

We had the most amazing wedding at the Anglers Rest. Agata and the team were absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had to reschedule a couple of times due to the pandemic and they were really accommodating each time. The food and décor was absolutely beautiful. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you all so much.

What a day we had at Anglers Rest, it was even better than I ever imagined, our guests and families absolutely loved it! Agata the wedding coordinator and the team answered all our questions and on the day we felt well looked after. Its a great alternative to a hotel venue, delighted with choosing the Anglers, we highly recommend, thank you again for the treasured memories!

We got married on 21st May 2022 in the Anglers Rest. From the beginning we were put at ease by the wonderful Agatha and how in control she was. It seemed nothing was too much to ask and she and the team there had a solution to all of our questions/worries.

The venue itself is unique and beautifully decorated. The ceremony room is warm and intimate which made us feel like all of our guests were part of our special moment. The food was unbelievable. Our most difficult decision was what dishes to leave off the menu on the day! Having everything on the same floor, Including a large balcony, meant that guests could get some air if needed and no had to leave the venue for the entire day.

Thank you to all the team at the Anglers Rest for making our day so memorable. We will definitely we back to the Anglers in 2023 and for many years to come to celebrate our anniversaries.

Darragh & Seána

Lovely place and nice atmosphere. FULLY RECOMMEND this place. Thank you very much

We had our wedding at the Anglers Rest Easter Saturday 16th April and they really went above and beyond for us, especially Agata, Dee and Sharon from Sweetpea and Willow. We had an Amazing day and really appreciated everything they did for us. Our guests raved about the venue, the food and overall atmosphere! Since we first spoke & met early January with Agata we were made feel relaxed about the run up to our wedding! We loved everything on the day! It Just set the mood/Easter, spring like atmosphere we wanted for the wedding & we are so grateful, it has given us great memories!
We will most definitely be back again during the summer for a meal and a few drinks!

We had our small intimate wedding in the Anglers Rest in March. We couldn't be happier with how the day went. Agata and all the team are wonderful and were happy to accommodate all our requests. The food is just gorgeous and everyone loved it including the canapés.
We couldn't recommend it enough especially it you are looking for a rustic style wedding with high class food.
Thanks again guys for everything
Barbara & Karol

Had my wedding reception here on the 12th Feb, and picking this venue was one of the best choices we could have made. Agata went above and beyond for all our needs, there was keen attention to detail in regards to our taste in decorations. The fresh flowers were such a nice touch! The place just looked perfect.

The food was just stunning (will definitely be a regular place to have a meal out)! And at not a bad price at all!

I really can't sing this places praises enough. If you're looking for an intimate, fun, beautiful, quirky, and just awesome wedding venue this is a place to check out!

10/10, would recommend again, to anyone! Almost makes me want to get married again!

We got married in Newman University Church in Dublin City, and our wedding reception and dinner was at Anglers Rest. From start to finish, absolutely perfect. Star of the show - Agata!!!!
This lady is absolutely incredible. Bubbly, friendly, engaging, funny, kind - and just put us at ease throughout. Superb. The room was made up to perfection, Linda had a few small requests for the dinner tables. Done, simple and beautiful. The food was incredible, all i saw was empty plates (an refilled glasses). Because we booked our big day back in early 2019, before the Pandemic arrived......we were almost certain by Sept 2020 that there would be a need to reschedule or cancel. But we got lucky, and we were allowed up to 100 guests. We had 50, and about four days before the wedding the Government said that 100 would be allowed. We kept our numbers at 50. It was absolutely perfect. We filled 7 tables, an were allowed a piano man until 11pm. We had a huge Spotify playlist hooked up to the speaker beforehand - it was brilliant :D
Staff were all fantastic, and so accommodating. Nothing was too big a deal for them.
Thank you so so so so so much for the best day ever!!!

Good food was one of the main reasons my husband and I chose Angler's Rest as our wedding venue, as you get an excellent selection to choose from and everything on the menu is utterly delicious. However, what we also got with Angler's Rest was a cosy venue, with a completely relaxed atmosphere, a ceremony and reception room that was beautifully decorated, and how we were treated on the day that was second to none. We felt completely spoilt the entire time and it felt like every member of staff who was there just wanted to make sure we had the best day possible. And we did. Our sincere thanks goes to Agata, Oliver, and all the staff on the day. We appreciated everything so much.

The Angler’s Rest made our wedding day so special & just perfect. We had 25 guests due to COVID restrictions & had postponed our wedding from last January. We were so happy to finally be able to go ahead with our wedding.
From the first communication we had with The Angler’s Rest until we left our wedding reception the service & care we received was exemplary.
The staff were so helpful & friendly to us & all our guests, nothing was a problem.
The way they styled the tables with our little extras was just perfect.

All our guests have told us it was the best & most enjoyable wedding they ever attended.
The food was absolutely delicious & perfectly presented & the venue so rustic & beautiful.
We had an amazing day, thank you so much.
We would highly recommend this Venue.

After so many changes we managed to have our special day in the Anglers Rest. With only six guests allowed due to COVID restrictions, we had a beautiful wedding surrounded by close family. Jennie, Gemma, Marco, Gabi, the Chef and other members of staff worked really hard to give us and our guests the best experience. They decorated my cake table as per my instructions and the dinning tables also looked beautiful! The food was divine and the service impeccable! The staff was so kind and helpful, we felt really relaxed and comfortable on the day because we knew they had everything under control. We had our first date in the Anglers Rest 7 years ago so having our wedding there was very meaningful and special!

From our first interaction with the Anglers Rest we cannot fault the experience we had with them. From the tasting menu right through to the reception Alison and the whole team could not have done enough for us. Nothing was an issue, the day went perfectly and we have had many people tell us it was the best wedding they were ever at, all of them singing the praises of the Anglers Rest. The food and wine was gorgeous and we were looked after so well. My grandmother was absolutely spoiled by the staff on the day, something that meant a lot. Everybody there goes out of their way to ensure you have the day you want, the team are really excellent. Alison and all the kind staff- thank you for making our day so special. You would be hard pressed to find a better wedding venue.

We got married on 14 December, 2020 originally we were due to get married in 2021 but decided to go earlier and have 25 people, save on costs and give everyone we could the day out! Anglers accommodated this change and were honestly so responsive and accommodating, Alison was so helpful and assisted me in finding a DJ at last minute and arranged my bouquets, the venue was fantastically decorated and Alison did a great job using our decorations and the ones already available in the venue, the food was fantastic, the lay out was great for such a small wedding they laid out the tables in such a way we really filled the room! I couldn't recommend the venue enough but most definitely the highlight was having Alison for a wedding co ordinator! If I ever marry again lol il be doing it here!

Thank you Alison from the anglers rest you were fantastic from start to finish. We had our wedding there under covid restrictions and the anglers went above and beyond to make it as special as possible with 25 guests. Would highly recommend as a wedding venue. Thanks Fiona and Peter

We had our day in March and are eternally grateful we pulled it off. From the moment I contacted the Angler's Rest in August 2019 right through the planning and afterwards I have nothing but compliments for their staff. Every question was answered, fears allayed and all of the little details perfected. Alison is so much fun but also we always felt we were in the most capable pair of hands.
The venue was exactly what we hoped for - fun, quirky and relaxed with the BEST food. At no point did we feel pressurised to make any decisions or upgrade and were carefully guided in crafting our perfect day.
We will always remember the kindness of the staff especially with all of the stress and worry in the last few days.
As my mum's friend said -" if she was getting married again she'd want it in the Angler's" Shane and I agree and can't wait to get a big crew back for a great celebration when all of this is over.
Thank you Alison, Ewa, Johnnie and all of the rest of the staff!

2019 wedding venue in Leinster for a reason! Food was marvellous,literally every plate was left clean, the wine and the choices of bottles superb. The venue, really speaks for itself, rustic and romantic. The attention to detail is what brings it all together. We had such a relaxed fun day, everything ran so smooth and this was mostly down to the amazing Alison (wedding planner) and all the staff there. Each and everyone was so welcoming and warm from the minute we met them until 3am when it came to an end . Anglers was exactly our dream wedding come true.

Overall Angler's was a beautiful venue for our wedding. We had the ceremony there too and it was stunning. The food was amazing and in the lead up to the big day the wedding coordinators were always on hand and were a great support. Every single person commented on how gorgeous everything was so we were really pleased with that. Our only qualm was the time keeping on the day. The ceremony was delayed by 30 minutes because the speaker for the music wasn't set up. The meal was almost an hour delayed as well which meant it was quite rushed as other guests were arrived. This was really disappointing for us. There was also an issue with the speaker during the meal so we had no music until the DJ arrived at 9. A few of our guests had issues ordering drinks and we were waiting until nearly midnight to cut the cake and serve it. So, these were some annoyances that left us a bit stressed on the day. Aside from these issues, we had a great day.

The Angler’s Rest is so so beautiful, and all the staff are amazing. The food was fantastic from start to finish.

Thank you so much for making our big day so special.

The Angler's Rest is a superb venue. Alison and the gang were very open to tailoring the day to us, the atmosphere was magic, and given that this is such a special place for us, there's nowhere else we'd rather have been.would highly recommend to anyone looking for an intimate and cozy wedding experience.

Amazing venue, guests loved it!

From the moment we got engaged we new Wright’s Anglers Rest was the venue for us we didn’t even look anywhere else from the cozy stunning venue to the amazing staff and the food was out of this world it truly was the best day ever

We had our special day on the 8 September this year. From our first contact with Alison we knew this was the venue for us. The ceremony room is gorgeous, this is were we did our group photos. The anglers rest is reknown for its food and the menu we had to choose from was amazing. Our guests had the choice of 3 starters & 3 main courses which you don't usually see at weddings. Emails were responded to very quickly so any questions we had were answered promptly. Some of our suppliers were very familiar with the anglers rest so it made working with them much easier. All the staff were very professional which made the day run very smoothly.
They supplied the flowers for the tables, the red carpet, the post box for the cards. We had to add very little decoration to the venue which really cut down on costs.
Overall we do not have one bad thing to say about our venue. Our parents & guests all complimented us on our choice.

We could not have asked for a better day when we had our wedding at The Anglers Rest. Alison and the team were amazing from the minute we viewed the venue. On the day, everything was perfect. The whole team are so friendly and the food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about the food and what a stunning venue it was!
We would highly recommend the Anglers Rest for a wedding. It's amazing!

Our wedding took place in The Angler's Rest and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. Ewa-Aga, Alison, Oliver & team were excellent and extremely helpful right from the very start. The Angler's Rest is a stunning venue with that rustic charm that we wanted. The food was of the highest quality and the menu choices set it apart from other venues. Our setting was intimate to cater for our 80 guests in a comfortable and relaxing way. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the decking area provided a wonderful backdrop to a great day. We will cherish our special day with the joy of knowing that we chose the right venue and a very professional team to cater for all our needs. Well done to everyone involved and we would highly recommend this venue.

Noel & Owen

We planned our wedding from abroad but Alison, Ewa-Aga and the rest of the team made it so easy and stress free. Any time we were home they were happy for us to pop in to have another look at the space, discuss logistics, do menu tastings etc. Alison is such a gem and her flowers were incredible, exactly what I’d pictured!

I (the bride) have severe food allergies, including shellfish, but my mind was completely put at ease which was a huge relief, especially having chosen a seafood restaurant! All our guests absolutely adored the food.

Location is perfect for some beautiful photos near the river or in the Phoenix Park. Would recommend The Anglers Rest for anybody looking for a venue with a bit of vintage charm and incredible food!

We couldn't have asked for anything better from our experience with the anglers rest. Ewa Aga was was a great help in the lead up to the wedding, and on the day too. Everyone loved the food and the venue looked top notch.
We would recommend the anglers rest to anyone.

I was so happy with this venue all around. The genuine, friendly staff from the beginning could not have been better and more helpful and really made it for us. Then on the day it was all amazing from the staff on the day to the above standard beautiful food. Every member of staff could not have been more helpful and every detail was thought out in the room. I would highly recommend anybody to have a wedding at this venue if you love vintage style like me ???? thanks guys I’ll be back for dinner!!

We got married at the Anglers Rest on Easter weekend in April and had the most amazing day! Every detail from planning how we'd use the space, deciding the food and drink and organizing various vendors to set-up and take down was smooth and easy thanks to their on-site wedding coordinator, Ewa. On the day itself, the staff were so helpful, calm and accommodating- we really felt taken care of!
Everyone raved about the quality of the food - many of our guests said it was the best meal they'd had in a long time! The service was impeccable and the romantic and whimsical atmosphere really added to the magic of our day! I would 100% recommend the Anglers Rest as a wedding venue to anyone looking for a romantic and intimate venue where quality and service are guaranteed! We had the best day and we can't thank Jenny, Ewa, Alison and the rest of the team enough! We will treasure the memories we made for years to come!
-Jessica and Barry

Fab venue just the right amount of cosy glamour, gorgeous food that all of our guests (who included a lot of French foodies!) found delicious. Eww and the team were so accommodating and professional even though we were a small-ish party it made no difference in the top quality of service we received. The venue itself was gorgeous without being pretentious just class and I would have no hesitation in vouching for these guys.

The Anglers Rest is the perfect laid back venue for any foodie. We loved it. The setting, the staff, the service, we just had the best day. We wanted a venue that was not pretentious where we could have the ceremony and reception in one place. The Anglers not only met our expectations, it exceeded them. None of our guests had been before and all commented on how amazing the place, service and food was. The staff were the most helpful and friendly I have ever met.

I got married on April fools day at the Anglers Rest. We just had the BEST day ever. The staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with, the food was amazing and just a stunning rustic venue. They made our day and every single one of my guests loved it. None of them had been at the Anglers before, but some have already gone back.
If you're looking for a venue for a small wedding as we were this is ideal. Unpretentious and stunning with excellent food. Flawless. We loved the decor,the service, the log fire, the staff, the food. Loved it.

The staff at the Anglers Rest were so helpful and made our day very special. We did not have to worry about a thing so we were able to relax and enjoy the day with our friends and family.

We had our wedding at the Angler's Rest in March 2019. Given, I'm based in Scotland, the whole process from beginning to end was really very seamless that and that was with a change of personnel two weeks from our wedding date, as Noeleen, our planner, had left. I'm glad to say that her replacement was well up to speed on everything and the day went superbly. The quaint little ceremony room was perfect for our humanist service. We brought our own prosecco and canapés which they laid out for us and bulked it up with some of their own fine home made fare. The meal was fantastic (choice of 3 mains!), the wine was great and the service was first class. We bought our own tiered cheesecake and crackers, chutneys etc for later on and that was laid out beautifully for us. The place didn't require much extra décor due to it's old world charm. The venue provided flowers for the tables and I only had to add a few bits and pieces. I really wanted it quite fuss free. The only thing I would mention is that we had 120 at the venue, I knew it would be a big crowd in a small space (that's what I wanted) but for dinner it was a bit tight. The upstairs was quite warm so we had to ask for the windows to be open. This didn't take from our experience. The wee bar area and dance floor was hopping all night. Due to an unfortunate sickness epidemic in our wedding party we had about 12 guests that couldn't make it. We were refunded for their meals no problem. I'd happy recommend the Angler's Rest if you're looking for something unusual, quirky and really very special. We can't wait to go back and visit.

The Anglers Rest hosted our wedding reception in Dec 2017.

Having eaten in the restaurant before, we knew the food would be top notch nosh, and it didn't disappoint. The food was our first reason for considering the Anglers and that was entirely justified. In fact, it was the only place we considered.

When we met with Noeleen, she was instantly reassuring. She was composed and had all the boxes ticked before we even knew they existed. We dropped off a bag of bits the night before and trusted Noeleen to figure it out. And she did.

If you've seen photos of the Anglers Rest and thought it looks stunning, you should see it in reality. Quaint and cosy, yet open and spacious. The setting was perfect for our 50 odd guests, many of whom were under six years of age. We had the entire upper floor, leaving room for the kids to be entertained and still have space for the adults to get on with eating and chatting.

The staff on the night were brilliant, really friendly and couldn't do enough to help, even when that involved booking taxis for us at 2am! Niall the DJ kept the dance floor hopping until long after he was meant to, and I'm sure we'd still be there now if it was his choice.

We couldn't (and wouldn't want to) criticise anything. The service was impeccably attentive and genuinely friendly. The setting was convenient, romantic and with a hint of Christmas.

Thank you to Noeleen and the team!

I couldn't recommend the Angler's Rest highly enough. Alison and her team were absolutely fantastic and so helpful. Alison gave us loads of good tips and advice and made some excellent vendor recommendations. The food is outstanding and the service was second to none. I genuinely had the best day of my life and the Angler's made sure it went off without a hitch. I would 100% recommend it as a wedding venue, I would do it all over again in the morning if I could!

Myself and my husband wanted a relaxed Dublin wedding with no stress and that’s what we got with the anglers rest. The venue is stunning and exactly what I wanted as we didn’t want a typical wedding in a hotel function room. Alison the wedding co ordinator was amazing she handled everything with professionalism noting was a problem. The bar and waiter staff on the day were so friendly and contributed to the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for. The food is the real star of the show absolutely gorgeous all my guests were so impressed many told me it was the best food they have had a a wedding and I agree. I would 100% recommend to any couple looking for an alternative venue that has something special about it.

Absolutely beautiful top class venue. Alison the wedding organizer was so helpful and friendly and runs a tight ship. Everything ran smoothly. We live abroad and organized everything remotely and the team make it so easy. The food was amazing and all the guests were raving about it . The fact that you have the whole floor running from bar to dining area to terrace is great as provides a very intimate and cosy environment where everyone gets to chat as opposed to a big cold informal. hotel . The day couldn’t have gone any better and recommend with no hesitation. A big thank you again for making our special day even more special.

What a day. We had our wedding here last month and was fantastic! Noeleen was so helpful and on the day everything went so smoothly. The service from the staff was brilliant. We’ve had many great compliments from our guests. The food and atmosphere that you get here is 5 stars!

We had our wedding in the Anglers Rest 3 weeks ago & couldn't be happier. The price was very competitive & reasonable, the food was outstanding, service great & the general set-up & ambience were all fantastic. We also had our ceremony in the same place & the room was ideal. The style & relaxed feel of the Anglers Rest fitted perfectly with what we wanted for our day & everything went swimmingly. We have absolutely no regrets about chosing the Anglers Rest & would chose it again in a heart beat! Our guests commented on how great the entire wedding, mainly about how perfect the venue & food were. If you're considering the Anglers Rest our advice is stop considering & just book it, you won't regret it for a second!!

When planning our wedding, someone suggested we take a look at the Anglers Rest. I'd never been so the first thing we did was eat here - fantastic food and so reasonably priced. We then checked out the wedding venue and fell in love - it's so cosy and intimate.
We had our wedding there at the weekend and I have to say it was absolutely fantastic! Everyone complimented the venue, the food, the staff...it was just amazing!
I can't thank Noeleen and the team enough - they went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day and nothing was too much trouble for them!
I would highly recommend this place as a wedding venue!!!

All round fabulous venue. I knew I didn't want the typical function room wedding and I got what I wanted at Anglers Rest which felt more like just a big party with all our nearest and dearest. It was so intimate even with 110 guests. We had the service and the reception there and Noeleen and her team were fabulous from the initial booking right up to the big day. The food is out of this world and many of our guests have been back since for lunch. Would highly recommend Niall Dalton the DJ that plays at Anglers Rest regularly. We didn't have a band, just Niall and it worked out perfectly.

Fantastic place - just perfect.. we would recommend it to everyone..

From our very initial contact with Noeleen in the Anglers Rest to the big day itself we can say the whole experience was flawless. We were put immediately at ease about everything. Noeleen and her team have an excellent eye for detail so the venue looks beautiful. We had our ceremony in The Collins Room which is just so wonderfully intimate and was a beautiful room for the ceremony. Having our ceremony and reception in the same place made the whole day very relaxed and easy going as our guests were looked after by the staff. The food is also excellent which everyone remarked upon. We can honestly say without any hesitation that we would recommend the Anglers Rest as a venue for your wedding. Thank you to Noeleen and her team, Orla and Dave.

We had our wedding here in October 2017. Cannot recommend The Anglers enough. Such an amazing venue rain, hail or shine. The setting is perfect. Fab decor & atmosphere from the minute you step inside. The food was absolutely superb. Noeleen was a great help to us with menus, flowers, seating etc.

Aimee & Greg Wedding 20th October 2017

Our wedding in the Angler’s Rest was nothing short of fantastic!
We cannot recommend this venue enough. Upon viewing for the
first time we fell immediately in love. In fact it ended up being the
one and only venue we visited. We felt so comfortable from the
offset. It’s so homely, facilitates a humanist wedding, is located
close to town yet retains a country quality and the wood fire is a
glorious touch! The staff, and in particular Noeleen Doyle, were
incredibly accommodating and benevolent. All our guests had a
wonderful day and eulogized vastly about the superb meal. Perfect
setting for our perfect day!

We had a fantastic experience having our wedding in Anglers Rest in late September 2017. From the very start Noeleen was extremely helpful and relaxed, she made us feel completely at ease booking, arranging times for tastings and deadlines.

I had read great reviews of the Anglers Rest saying the food was excellent and that was a huge deciding factor for myself and my husband. And I can safely say it lived up to its great reputation! We also loved that we could have our ceremony in the venue, as we wanted to make the day as streamlined and relaxed as possible for our guests.

We booked in for dinner before we made our decision and we had such a delicious meal, and even though we were still in Dublin, the location feels like a cozy country pub. The location right beside Phoenix Park was also a factor as we were able to pop to the park after the ceremony to get some gorgeous photos with our photographer.

The room for the reception is stunning and we added some of our personal touches to the venue/reception area (bunting, lanterns, flowers) but it needed very little additional decoration to give it the wow factor.

The ceremony room is lovely and intimate – with a real fire burning for added coziness - Noeleen even recommended our celebrant, Mary Losty, and we were absolutely delighted with her as well. We organised a piano player for the ceremony and our friend DJ’ed for the reception which was so much fun and there was lots of room for dancing as well as sitting around chatting.

My friend made our wedding cake and she needed to drop it off at the venue the morning of the wedding, and she mentioned how lovely and accommodating the people there were - she has experienced some tricky people when dropping cakes to venues so she really appreciated the friendly flexibility of Anglers Rest staff.

Same with our flowers and decorations - there were no difficulties for us getting to the venue to decorate and the staff were always very kind and helpful.

There were around 85 people for our ceremony/dinner with some additional people joining for drinks afterwards and the venue was a perfect size for this number of people.

The wait and bar staff were all absolutely lovely, everyone raved about the food and the venue and the overall vibe was relaxed, intimate and joyful.

I would highly recommend Anglers Rest as a wedding venue, I wish I could experience the day all over again! Thank you so much Noeleen and all of the Angler’s Rest team for giving us such a lovely day with such wonderful memories.

I cannot fault the Anglers Rest in anyway, the way they looked after us from start to finish was excellent. Noeleen and the team could not do enough for us on the run up to our day and also on the day, nothing was a hassle for them. As for the food all we got from our family and friends were top marks, they said they never had food like it at a wedding and that our wedding day was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and that was thanks to the Anglers Rest. Our wedding turned out to be exactly how we imagined it would be.
I would recommend The Anglers Rest to anyone wanting a beautiful wedding.

We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Angler’s Rest in August 2017. Our experience was easy and fun from the moment we met the Wedding Coordinator, Noeleen. We had our event on a Saturday but, despite a busy restaurant operating downstairs, we didn’t hear a peep and felt that we had an exclusive venue all to ourselves. The staff were attentive and warm but not overly fussy. We were blessed with glorious weather but I feel that a wet/grey day would’ve been as romantic because of the ambiance of the place (fireplaces, candles, etc).

A few of the many perks:

1. A seriously relaxed and flexible approach/environment
2. Prompt and friendly communication
3. Recommendation of excellent vendors (our celebrant Romy McAuley is magic)
4. Our guests could decide on their meal on the day rather than in advance
5. They cater to dietary needs (no annoying request was refused)
6. We can go back any time we want to reminisce about our day over a meal and glass of wine
7. Competitive pricing
8. The food the food the food the food the food....

Over the past six months we have heard nothing but overwhelmingly positive remarks from our guests (who traveled from Canada, Sweden, England and locally). It was a place where we could be quintessentially “us”, and make the day our own (rather than host a scripted prototype of a wedding). It was so very special and I can’t fault a single thing. Our only regret is how fast the day flew by...

Had our wedding here in August, were really pleased with everything. The venue is lovely and the food was great. Helpful staff, everything was great, highly recommended.

Noeleen and her team at the Anglers Rest go beyond their means to make the day magical for every bride and groom. They are so helpful and flexible. My husband and I really had the best day of our lives and the venue and guests made that possible. The venue speaks for itself - it is absolutely perfect, the food is amazing every time we go there- I can't speak highly enough of this place for any occasion. It is somewhere I will always recommend.

The Anglers Rest was a brilliant location for our wedding. It had a relaxed atmosphere and the staff also paid attention to every special detail on the day. Noeleen was a fantastic wedding coordinator. She made the day very easy to organise, even though we were coming all the way from Australia.

I could not recommend the Anglers Rest enough! We had the most amazing day here for our wedding in April. We sat 85 for dinner and literally everyone was raving about the food all night, i was even getting texts and phone calls afterwards of guests telling me how great the food and venue is.first of all, Noleen looked after us, she is just a little gem. nothing was too much hassle for her. so easy to deal with and so approachable.he really knows her stuff! the food- The anglers is known for its amazing food anyway, We had 4 options for each of the 4 courses, The food was all out quick and perfect, the service is just unbelievable. the room is just fab... its so rustic and classy, nobody could believe how lovely the room is, i didnt need any decor or table center pieces or anything! Thank youforgiing us the most magical day,

We had a wonderful day at The angler's Rest. The venue is absolutely beautiful and suited our needs perfectly! We held our ceremony and dinner there before moving to a bigger venue in Dublin city centre for the dancing part of the evening. We could not have hoped for nicer food, surroundings and decor. Noeleen and her team were so super helpful on the day and all of our guests were delighted with the gorgeous food! I should also make a point of saying that the per head price was the most reasonable we found there was great menu choice and the food is absolutely top notch!
Couldn't recommend highly enough.

We had our wedding here on the 29th of December & we had the most amazing day!!! We had our ceremony here too which was perfect as there was no travelling afterwards & everyone could relax. It is a beautiful & intimate venue which we felt added to the relaxing atmosphere that we wanted. Noeleen & all the staff were brilliant, very accommodating & made our day so special. The food was fantastic & the service outstanding. Thanks again for a wonderful day filled with unforgettable memories. Can't wait for our next trip to The Anglers Rest

We had a small wedding and had our reception upstairs in The Angler's Rest. The food, service and venue was superb! The food was and always is amazing. We have eaten here several times and absolutely love the food, wine, atmosphere and service. Thank you all so much for making our big day so special with all your efforts. The venue is so stunning for a wedding and our guests still comment on what a beautiful setting it is. Definitely 5 star service from everyone there!

the venue was excellent, the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more accomodating, the food was top notch despite it being really reasonably priced. Im delighted we had our wedding there, many of our guests said it was the best wedding they were ever at and we had a great day.

Wedding venue was excellent and very well run by Noreen & all the staff. We felt well looked after and no request was any problem. Its a beautiful old pub and very good location for a medium size city wedding and close to the Park which is great for Photos. I would highly recommend the Anglers Rest.

We had our ceremony and our reception at the Anglers Rest. The ceremony took place in the Michael Collins room. Months before the wedding I was conscious that the restaurant guests downstairs and in the pub might be heard during our ceremony. I was told that this would absolutely not be the case as there was a stair well at the back of the Michael Collins room and they were taking this stairwell out. However on the day, the stairwell was there and during the ceremony, I struggled to hear the celebrant over the noise of the restaurant / pub downstairs. I was really disappointed about this. In hindsight, I would not have had the ceremony at The Anglers Rest. However, the reception was fantastic. The waiters were terrific. I could not fault the reception. The food was lovely. We did not get to have a tasting prior to the wedding as we live in Cork and could only go the The venue at weekend. We were told that they could not give us a tasting menu over weekends. I did think they could have been a bit more accommodating on this. However, the food was excellent on the day. The room for dinner was beautifully decorated. It was a massive benefit to me not to have to worry about flower arrangements or anything like that, the room was really beautiful. We did not have a bar extension as it would have cost an extra €800, which I thought was outrageously priced. The party finished up by 12:30. Obviously this would not suit everyone, we didn't mind too much but would have been nice to be able to stay another hour. Overall, I would recommend the venue to prospective customers - maybe not for the actual ceremony though (unless they can assure no background noise).

For our wedding, we really wanted something warm and inviting. I love the US store Anthropologie and The Anglers Rest really captured that exact vibe. Mary is very easy to work with an incredibly knowledgable.

Pros:
+ food - the best. You will be hard pressed to find better food.
+ Outdoor space
+ Environment - the fireplaces, vintage furnishings, very charming and cozy
+ Flexibility - they were willing to work with us to make things affordable, we had a whiskey bar, a trad band, a DJ, irish dancers, our own decor, etc. The team did an incredible job
+ Mary - she is incredibly helpful, knows great vendors, and can coordinate a lot of the details on the day of the wedding

Everyone who attended could not stop talking about the amazing the venue and food. The feedback from many, many attendees was that it was the best. A lot of that had to do with the venue.

Could not more speak more highly of The Anglers Rest

For our wedding we wanted to give our guests who were travelling from across the globe something special and we found that at The Anglers Rest. The smell of the wood burner, the warm friendly and relaxed atmosphere the impeccable food and incredible service made it the perfect choice. Mary and the team at the Anglers Rest looked after our every need leading up to and on the day itself. We live in London so wanted a stress free affair where we had minimal work to do other than name tags and decisions about what great food to put on the menu. The lengths that the team went to in making our day exceeded our expectations. The room was stunning (extra credit to Mary for working from little steer) and all our guests were raving about the quality of the food and the level of customer care. I've never in all the weddings I've been to encountered staff so smiley and genuinely happy to help! Everyone had a great time and we can't wait to go back

Hi Mary,



We just wanted to touch base with you now that the dust has settled and the honeymoon is over :D



Thank you so much for such an amazing wedding in the Angler's. It was exactly as we hoped it would be and everyone really enjoyed the day. Our ceremony was so special in the lovely room upstairs and the flowers you set out were abso gorgeous.

Oliver, Tom and all the staff were so brilliant. The food was fantastic.



You were so lovely to work with and so helpful with everything. I'd highly recommend the Angler's as an intimate wedding venue to anyone.

Thanks again and we'll definitely be back soon :)



All the best,

Just want to say a huge thank you for all your help with the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better day and your staff were excellent. Everyone kept talking about how good the food was and the exceptional service of the staff. Some people who live in Dublin hadn't been before and will definitely be going back and the gang from England and beyond will be returning when they are next in Dublin!

My husband and I live in the US and had never been to Ireland but we knew we wanted to get married there. I spent many hours researching venues and found myself going back to Anglers Rest’s website every time. Once we decided we wanted to book our special day with them we talked to a friend that lives nearby (which we didn’t initially know when we were researching it) and him and his wife raved about Anglers!! Mary and I exchanged many emails before our special day. She was extremely helpful and her email replies to my questions were always quick. She gave us recommendations for our wedding cake baker, which hotel to stay at and an officiant to perform the ceremony. When our wedding day finally arrived we were greeted at the door by the manager and treated like we were the only guests there! The wedding was beautiful, the food was the best we had our whole trip (we were there for 3wks total) and the staff was so polite and eager to help us make our day memorable! We wouldn’t change anything about our wedding day, it turned out better then what we even had hoped it would thanks to Mary and the group at Anglers Rest!!
