The Station House Hotel

We had the best wedding day at The Station House Hotel. Special mention to Devon our coordinator who just made the day flow. We can’t thank her enough. Nothing was too much. She was amazing!! Also Alex who took over that evening played a blinder. Everyone including ourselves had the best day and that’s down to The Station House and the staff on the day. Venue, food and accommodation were all amazing. Would always recommend The Station House Hotel as a wedding venue. The place itself is just a magival venue. Couldn’t have asked for anymore. We would do it all over again 🥰

If you’re looking for a truly unique and special wedding venue this is it. Words cannot express how incredible our experience was from start to finish. From the getting ready on site, to the most incredible ceremony at the turning circle, the drinks reception on the beautiful terrace and then the amazing dinner, followed by entertainment outside under the stars, it was just the best day ever. The staff are amazingly accomodating and do their best to make sure your day is your own. Our guests absolutely loved the experience as well, so many people told us it was the best wedding they’d been to and were so complimentary about the venue, food, setting, everything!

Station House is an absolutely incredible venue, the outdoor are for the ceremony is the nicest setting I've ever seen for a ceremony. The staff couldn't have been nicer, service was brilliant, food was incredible, literally couldn't have went any better!

We had the most incredible day at the Station House Hotel for our wedding on Thursday. We were lucky enough to have ourselves and the wedding party stay the night before the wedding and the team at the Station House couldn’t have done enough for us. It was a dream come true for us and surpassed all our expectations especially with the gorgeous weather for the ceremony and the first dance.

We want to say a huge thank you to our wedding coordinator Caroline and all the team on their attentiveness and organisation for the 2 days. They went above and beyond for us and every little detail was thought of. Nothing was too big or small of a job for them to do. Caroline took the time to set up all of my DIY decor bits and made everything look perfect.

Everything was amazing- from the venue itself, the gardens, the fabulous ceremony set up, the unbelievable food (the night before, afternoon tea, breakfast and the wedding day food), the rooms, the service, the first dance set up and the unbelievable organisation of everything.

Every single staff member couldn’t do enough for us and they were all so kind and helpful, even the night porter was so kind to all the guests after the wedding. The little details of receiving a message from the owners on the morning of the wedding to wish us well and keeping a newspaper behind reception for us for the date of the wedding, on checkout.

We have had numerous guests tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to.

We can’t wait to visit again and this wedding venue is a credit to the Slattery family and all the amazing staff who work there.

From the moment we arrived until we left we had the best experience. The staff were so kind and so incredibly helpful. Every request was no problem and the attention to detail of the staff was noted by many of our guests. The food was amazing. The grounds were stunning and the lighting at night is stunning. It was the perfect venue for our perfect day.

What can I say about The Station House, the venue is so beautiful and magical and personal. The food and staff are exceptional, second to none I could not recommend these guys enough. They are incredibly professional, helpful, accomodating and personal, we had an amazing experience!

I couldn’t recommend having your wedding in the station house enough. It was the only venue I viewed and knew within the first 5 minutes I had to book it. All of the staff were incredible but especially Aoife our wedding coordinator. She honestly couldn’t have been any more helpful, she would reply to emails instantly and always such a pleasure to meet. The grounds of the hotel are just stunning and the food was amazing, our friends are still talking about it!! There isn’t one thing we would change about the day.

The Station house exceeded our expectations, some of the highlights were the Very helpful, friendly and attentive staff who made you feel special (shout out to Jack and Caroline) the Stunning grounds and dinner room. The beautiful food and drinks- our guests were very well fed. And the Lovely new outdoor canopy which meant guests can congregate outside even if it’s raining. Myself and Eoin just couldn’t say enough about the place. Highly recommend.

Caroline & staff couldn’t have done more for us in the lead up & on the day. Everything was perfect! Honestly we couldn’t have had a better day & night!

Excellent venue for a wedding!
We got married here at the end of March, it was a little cold during the outdoor reception but the rain held off! In fact, our wedding co coordinator Aoife (who was amazing through the entire process) made a point to come down during one of the showers to show me the rain radar and point to the break when we'd get the show on the road. She was keeping a close eye and it worked out perfectly!
Our outdoor ceremony was fantastic, the drinks reception looked great and was enjoyed by all. The dinner was excellent, they were very accommodating of dietary requirements etc. I could go on for ages.
We were very well looked after and supported all the way through the process and would have no problem at all recommending The Station House to anyone thinking of booking or booking again for a family event.

We had the most amazing experience with Caroline from The Station House. She was extremely thorough and created the most welcoming and beautiful day for our wedding. Everyone commented on the beauty of the venue but also the attentivness of the staff and the quality of the food. Our elderly guests were well looked after and we managed to have the most beautiful outdoor winter ceremony including everyone as planned.
I will hopefully never get married again, but if I do I might have to go back again!!! 5 star service and Caroline and Pearce are heros of the wedding world

We had the most amazing day for our wedding. We managed to have our ceremony outdoors which is what I had aways imaged . The team went above and beyond on the day, they had blankets for the guests, umbrellas on stand-by which I'm delighted we didn't have to use. Everything about the day was absolutely perfect for us. I knew from our menu tasting that the food was going to be good but it was even nicer on the day of the wedding, so many compliments. Special thanks to our co-ordinator Caroline Hegarty, nothing was a problem and everything was exactly what we had discussed in the lead up to the day. We felt very at ease and would like to thank her for being a big part in making this happen. I've no hesitation on recommending the Station House for a wedding anytime of the year. It really was top class!!

A huge thank you to the Station house for our amazing day ! From start to finish everything thing was perfect. The staff were so helpful and went above and beyond for us we couldn't have asked for more. The Venue was spectacular or as our guests said Magical ! The food was amazing we can't recommend this venue highly enough.

We could not have asked for a better venue. It exceeded our expectations on the day. Everyone who works in Station House is just so friendly, attentive and kind. Nothing was a problem and all our guests commented on how lovely the staff were also. The venue itself is just stunning and the food is amazing. I cannot wait to go back for another meal there. It was the most perfect day in the most perfect setting. We will forever have such fond memories of The Station House Hotel . We could not recommend it more for any couples looking for a venue. Also a special mention to Emily and Pierce and all the wedding team who work there. They are all amazing at their jobs and everything runs like clockwork. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day, they looked after everything so well! They are wedding angels! Honestly just wish we could do it all again.

We had our wedding in the Station House Hotel on Saturday, 14th Oct 2023. I will start this review by mentioning that we only got engaged at the end of Feb 23 and started viewing venues in March, so from the get go we had a huge ask - we absolutely wanted to get married this year! From the minute we set foot into the Station House we fell in love with the outside ceremony area and all of the lights twinkling as we walked up to meet the lovely Suzanne who showed us around. Part of me was worried that she?d laugh us out of the place at the end of the tour when we told her that we wanted to get married this year, but instead Suzanne assured us that they could not only make it happen but that they even had a Saturday available. We knew straight away that the Station House was ?the one?. The relaxed atmosphere, the quirky decor and the feeling of magic when we walked around was exactly what we wanted to feel on our wedding day. Once we?d booked in the date, we were matched up with our wedding co-ordinator Aoife Scanlon who had quite the task on her hands meeting a couple who?d given her 5 months to do what most people do in 2 years! From the second we met Aoife she completely put us at ease and made us feel so relaxed and reassured that there was absolutely nothing that couldn't be done in that time. In the run up to getting married the comment I kept getting from friends, family and colleagues was that I was the most relaxed bride they've ever seen and I am 100% sure that I felt that was thanks to Aoife. She made absolutely everything in terms of planning feel easy and even when we threw an absolute spanner in the works in the 11th hour days before the wedding by asking ?is there any chance? we could screen the Ireland vs New Zealand rugby match for 160 guests in the ballroom directly after dinner, again Aoife said ?leave it with me? as if we?d asked her to pass the sugar! The match was screened to the absolute delight of some very concerned guests who were devastated at the thought of missing out on the match. Even though we lost it kept the night running smoothly as my big fear was losing guests to phones under the table or wandering off to find a screen and never getting them back but this way it added a massive atmosphere to the room between the dinner and first dance.
I could not talk about the wedding without talking about the food. We had been told from the get go that the station house is a foodies dream venue and were so excited about that, but to say that it exceeded expectations doesn't even cover it. We enjoyed the wedding food tasting so much we were raving about it for weeks, and the actual wedding meal was executed to perfection despite our large numbers. All of our guests are still raving days later about the quality of the food, and we've heard from multiple people that it was the best wedding food they've ever had which is just such gorgeous feedback to get.
Myself and my new husband debriefed the day after the wedding and were in full agreement that there is not one single thing about our day that could have been done any differently or better. The day was even more perfect than we could have imagined.
The outdoor ceremony, the woodland first dance, the photos with the autumn leaves and the sun shining in the background all made the day feel like something out of a movie with the stunning backdrop provided by the Station House. The staff here are nothing short of spectacular at what they do.
If anyone is considering a wedding in the Station House, I literally cannot say enough complimentary things about the staff and venue.
When we first met our wedding co-ordinator Aoife we told her that all we wanted was to have a fun and relaxed day that we would enjoy as well as our guests, and what we got was a day that was not only fun and relaxed, but felt completely magical too.
I already can't wait to come back to the Station House for our anniversary and re-live some of the magic.

We just had the most amazing wedding day with Station House and couldn't have wished for anything more. Aoife was amazing and held our hand from the start. Not only were we blessed with the weather but we were also blessed with Aoife. The venue is something out of a fairytale and all our family and friends could not believe how special it was. From the turntable to the signal suite everything was so special. The food was amazing from the afternoon tea right up to breakfast the next day. Station House is the most perfect wedding venue made even more special by its staff. I am so glad we chose to get married at Station House.

Perfect wedding venue and cannot fault The Station House in any way. The staff were professional but very friendly. The venue and accommodation were quaint but modern and ideal for any wedding. The food was lovely. Really could not recommend any higher!

The food was absolutely incredible, it never stopped and my guests are still raving about it.
The staff couldn't do enough for us, they were so attentive and lovely.
The venue was beautiful - not one single issue
The most magical day I could have ever imagined

From the moment we set foot on the enchanting grounds of the station house hotel we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our special day. From the very first meeting, till the end the team at the station house were fantastic, offering guidance, suggestions, and answering all of our questions. The wedding coordinator Caroline was an absolute gem. Caroline worked tirelessly to ensure every detail of our big day was just as we envisioned.


The level of service we received on the day was second to none. The staff were friendly, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs and those of our guests. A special mention to Emmet who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every moment of our day. The food on the day was beautifully presented and delicious.


Unfortunately on the morning of our wedding storm betty knocked the power out in the hotel but hotel owners Thelma & Chris sprung into action and kindly brought the wedding party and family to their home to have their hair and makeup done, while there they were even treated to scones and bubbles, such a kind gesture and one that turned what could have been a stressful situation into a great experience!


The storm cleared and our guests arrived to the most magnificent outdoor ceremony set up. Lots of guest commented on how they were captivated by the venue and the whole experience.


Thanks to the exceptional team at the station house hotel, our wedding day was truly perfect for us. We are grateful to the entire team for their dedication and hard work in ensuring that our wedding was an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. If you're searching for a wedding venue that will provide you with the perfect day from beginning to end, look no further than The Station House Hotel.


Thanks a million!

Adam & Dawn

All we can say is, believe each and every 5-star review that wedding couples have left. The most magical venue with the most attentive, professional staff. The food, the service, the care - all phenomenal. A special mention for the care given to the children we had at our wedding (2 toddlers and a baby). Both sets of parents commented on how attentive the staff were to the needs of the children. Our only wish is to be able to do it all again! Thank you to all the staff at The Station House Hotel.

The Station House was an amazing venue for our wedding with our ceremony taking place in the turntable in the forest. The staff were amazing and on top of everything leading up to and on the day of the wedding. We had the most amazing day & I still get people telling me how much they loved the venue.

The station house is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. When we were looking for venues my wife fell in love with the fairy tale aesthetic of the station house, from the reception area full of phenomenal decor to the magical turntable, every single part of the station house is designed beautifully.

The staff at the station house go above and beyond to make your wedding day feel truly special. The wedding team are so genuine and helpful, they are fantastic at answering any and all silly questions you have as well as communicating thoroughly on every step of the process. Special mention to Caroline McCoy, our wedding coordinator, she was genuinely outstanding! Leading up to the day she was answering every one of my 7 million emails and on the day she was irreplaceable. She helped set up in the reception area, she helped put on the groomsman's boutonnieres, she directed vendors to the proper locations(and early guests out of the wrong locations), my wife and I both know that we wouldn't have had our perfect day without her help.

The station house is perfect if you're looking for a fairytale wedding venue full of thoughtful and caring staff.

We can not express how much the station house went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend unbelievable , from Suzanne on reception who was with us every step of the way from the time we booked , to the gorgeous Michelle her service was incredible , Colin our manager on the journey and the day who guided us and looked after our guest beyond all our expectations Aoife our wedding coordinator exceptional , the food was truly the best we have ever had at at wedding our guests where blown away !!
This venue is truly magical in every aspect , thank you to the station house for making our special day truly special we will be forever grateful

We had the most amazing wedding in athe Station House. From our first viewing, we fell in love with the venue and could not get over how incredible all the staff were! They made sure everything ran absolutely perfectly on the day so we could just relax and enjoy it. All our guest kept saying how much they loved the venue and that the whole place was like a fairytale. We had the absolute best day and could not recommend it more. Huge shout out to Colin and Caroline aswell for making the day so perfect for us!

We had our wedding at our Station House last month and I can honestly say it was everything we could've asked for! The outdoor ceremony was perfect, Jack & Jill and all the staff at the station house were super helpful on and before the day. Anything we wanted or asked for, we got without question. They really take care of you and put you at ease so you can focus on your own day. Would highly recommend the Station House as a venue to anyone!

We can't say enough about The Station House Hotel. Everyone was so incredibly kind and professional and went above and beyond to make our day so special. We planned our wedding from abroad and it really came together perfectly. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, so cozy and intimate. All our guests had a wonderful weekend and are still talking about it! We would highly recommend this hotel to everyone and we can't wait to come back again in the future.
Thank you so much to all the team & staff at The Station House.

I would highly recommend the Station House Hotel to anybody looking getting married in the area. All of the staff went above and beyond for us and nothing was too much hassle. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we would not change a thing about the day. The Station House is a beautiful venue and we got our wish of getting married outside on the 22nd of December - it was magical.

We had an amazing day from start to finish! All our guests commented on the amazing venue inside and out and how friendly and helpful all the staff were. But a special thanks to Ross, Suzanne and Pearse. From when we looked at the venue to the big day nothing was ever a problem. We look forward to many more fabulous meals in the Station House.

Slightly delayed in posting our review as the months post wedding have been so busy and we have been in such a bubble since!
Where do I begin with The Station House Hotel.
From start to finish the staff at The Station House Hotel were absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we stepped in to the hotel for our first viewing we fell in love. The cosiness of the bar area, the magnificent grounds, the wow factor carriage suite and the most delicious food, we knew instantly that we wanted to get married at The Station House Hotel. Each and every one of the staff went above and beyond from the planning stages right through to the day of the wedding. I have never experienced a more welcoming, kind and caring group of people. Our wedding was absolutely magical and so special because of everyone at The Station House Hotel. No ask was too big and we were made feel at ease the whole time, I cannot thank Ross enough for all he done for us and all the wedding planning team, they are true professionals! Our guests continue to comment on how amazing the grounds and decor set up was and how delicious the food was along with how nice and kind the staff were. The value for money and all that is included in your wedding package is amazing! Honestly, there is not one thing I can fault with The Station House Hotel!

We can't recommend the station house enough our day was beyond perfect and that's because of all the amazing staff! The venue is like a fairytale! Our guests had the absolute best day and raves about how nice the food was!

I can't thank the team at the station house enough for our perfect wedding day!

We felt very lucky to be able to secure a cancellation date in the Station House Hotel for our wedding. It really was the most beautiful and special venue, made even more special by the incredibly helpful and friendly staff. We did not use the turntable for our ceremony as we married in our local church at home so on arrival we were warmly greeted by Pearse and our personalised crystal champagne flutes- a lovely touch we weren't expecting. Its so lovely to have these now as a keepsake.
The drinks reception was like something from a dream which was made even better by the appearance of sunshine on arrival!
Our time together in the Library before being called into Carriage suite was so lovely but the call to dinner and getting everyone in took longer than expected so things became a little delayed from that point which unfortunately had a knock on effect to our band playing time later! A very minor detail which nobody else noticed!! I can understand how difficult it must be trying to organise this many people! If the speeches could have happened during dessert it might have given us back a little bit of that time lost.
The dinner was top class- we've had so many guests compliment the food to us since.
Our first dance in the turntable was so special and something we'll never forget.
We would highly recommend the Station House Hotel to anyone getting married . On the day, Pearse and Karen were so kind and supportive- nothing was too much of an ask. In the planning and lead up Shiyra and Ross were so good at replying to emails and getting all the details right for us.
We've had so many guests compliment the venue and how special it all felt saying it was the best wedding they've been to!
We might be biased but we fully agree!

I cant find enough words to explain how happy we were that we chose this place for our wedding. We kind of knew it was meant to be when they told us the 2 days they had available and one of them (the actual day of our wedding) was a day that was very special to us. Throughout the whole process, they communicated, sent reminders which was VERY helpful and was always there to answer any questions we had. Their menu tasting... bring elastic pants and book a room because it was AMAZING! On the day, the staff was unbelievable. Anything we needed, they were there. I cant name any standouts because they were all equally excellent. If you book here, you will not regret it. We will come to this place for many years to come to relive some of the amazing memories from our special day.

It is a pity for a lovely place to have a not great experience for my wedding, first of all, they changed my wedding planner 3 times and none of them were there the day of my wedding. I had technical issues during my ceremony and there was no staff to support me. I have to say the hotel staff is lovely, the food incredible, and the location is fantastic. I am very disappointed with the wedding team since I felt that they didn't give importance to it because my wedding was a small wedding, which is not professional at all.

We had our wedding in the Station House in June 2022. We booked the venue following a zoom meeting during Covid before the hotel renovations were completed - the banquet room and entire hotel is finished to the highest standard and such a unique style. So many of our friends have commented on how beautiful the room was. It was our dream to get married outside which is always a risk in Ireland - the turntable is a beautiful setting and we are thrilled we got to say ?I do? there. The staff were so helpful throughout our planning process. I visited the hotel with my bridesmaids prior to our wedding and we were made to feel so welcome. Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic. Due to circumstances outside of everyone's control our ceremony time had to be pushed back by an hour which could have been very stressful but the staff handled the situation with complete professionalism and kept us at ease throughout. The food was sublime and food service was timely. I couldn't praise this venue highly enough - thanks for everything!

Don't hesitate to book the Station House! The team and the venue are absolutely superb. We had our wedding there in May 2022 and it was the best day of our life. The team cannot do enough to help and the food and location is fantastic. It was a fairytale from start to finish. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We had so much fun, and staying in the honeymoon suite was also such a nice experience - your own little house just for the night!

We had our wedding in the Station House Hotel in Kilmessan and everything was just perfect. The venue is stunning, the food was delicious (all of our guests raved about how good the food was), and the staff there are amazing. They are so kind, helpful and so professional. Our wedding ass postponed due to Covid and they couldn't have been anymore helpful or accomodating. A special mention to our wedding Co ordinator Shiyra who went above and beyond to help us have our special day. We couldn't recommend the Station House Hotel enough to couples looking for a unique and beautiful venue with top class staff and delicious food. Thank you! X

We had our wedding in the station house, it is such a beautiful place all our guests are still raving about it. The staff were amazing the whole way through the planning process and so responsive we had no problems in picking up the phone and always finding a friendly voice at the end of the line. The food was amazing and it was just perfect

We recently got married in The Station House and had the best weekend ever! We cannot thank the staff enough for making the whole weekend run so smoothly. We knew from the day we viewed the venue that it was where we wanted to get married but our expectations were blown away. Sarah and Shiyra our wedding coordinators were amazing! They make you feel very special as the wedding couple and couldn't do enough for us. We felt relaxed from day one of planning with them.
The service on our wedding day was exceptional. All the staff were polite, helpful, professional and down to earth which we loved. The food was 10/10, everything from the canapés to the late night snacks went down a treat. And trying all the food at the menu tasting night was a great start to the wedding excitement. I would highly recommend The Station House to anyone getting married it's a magical place and we would love to do it all over again. The Signal Box suite was the icing on the cake too :)

We got married at the Station House recently and it was the most perfect day imaginable. It is such a beautiful location, the grounds are stunning. The fairylights along the aisle to the ceremony space were one of the reasons we booked. The recently refurbished rooms can't be faulted and each is beautifully and individually decorated. What can be said about the reception space in the Carraige Suite except WOW. Some guests told us they were left literally openmouthed at the ceiling.

The staff were incredible; so friendly, so helpful. Shiyra, Ross and Karen in particular were a delight. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special and our guests were so impressed with all the little touches, like blankets and umbrellas being provided for the outdoor ceremony.

The food was gorgeous. I would be more than happy to have their tropical sorbet and suckling pork belly at every meal for the rest of my life. I'm told the vegetarian options were also delicious and very fresh. Breakfast the next morning was particularly good, especially the poached eggs.

We stayed in the Grand Suite the night before.. what a beautiful room! The bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept in, and the bath was stunning. I only wish I'd had time to use it. The Signal Suite is so sweet. A perfect slice of heavenly privacy for newlyweds.

We are so happy we decided to get married here and have every intention of returning again and again.

We want to thank Shyira, Emma and all the staff at the Station House Hotel for the most perfect day, more then what we could have ever imagined. It was magical and we wish we could do it all over again. The food, the setting and the overall atmosphere is outstanding. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful carriage suite and the food, they all would have loved a second portion of the chicken and mushrooms parcels they were so delicious. My aunty and another one of my uncles got married here and I'm so delighted that we chose here because it was everything and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the best day of our life's! X

Our venue, The Station House held sentimental value as Cian grew up in a railway house and his grandfather and great grandfather worked on the rail line so the venue was just perfect for us. When we met with the team and visited the station house we knew we didn't need to look at any other venues as we were blown away. The venue itself is surrounded by beautiful grounds, has a lovely cosy welcoming vibe and has been recently renovated. Our guests were equally blown away and have all been raving about it. The team at the station house couldn't have done enough and played a huge part in making the day so special in particular Shiyra our wedding coordinator who was excellent to deal with and Emma on the day ensuring everything ran so smoothly. We couldn't recommend them more to future couples.

We were married in the station house on the 27th November 2021. Our original wedding date was in November 2020 but was postponed due to Covid 19. The wedding team in the station house could not have been more helpful and understanding during this transition and even helped to alleviate the stress as up until the last minute of our new wedding date in 2021 we weren't sure if things would go ahead again due to covid 19 restrictions. Thankfully we had our wedding with 100 guests and a finish time of 12pm. The staff were very professional throughout the difficult regulatory changes and adapted quickly. They were easy to contact by email or phone and we even found the general staff very helpful and knowledgeable regarding weddings when we visited for a meal on occasions as the food is divine. My husband became vegan in the run up to the wedding and they provided a vegan menu inclusive of wines without any delays. On the day we could not have thanked the staff enough everything went to plan and even little touches that I had not even thought about such as similar music to our chosen wedding song was played for the background music of the meal. All of the guests reported having an amazing day, everyone absolutely loved the first dance at the turn table and all the guests were very impressed by the food and service. Overall we had a fantastic wedding day, the hotel has a lovely family homely vibe which fit perfect for our wedding. With fabulous staff and an idyllic setting with beautifully kept grounds we would highly recommend this venue and a Christmas themed wedding in this setting is just magical :)

Fab venue, staff very helpful and kind. Rooms are amazing. Food was fab. Five star rating.

To start off, the venue is just amazing. The setting is hard to beat.
The staff were so helpful and amazing throughout the day and process entirely.
The food was fantastic.
Our coordinator Sarah along with the venue staff were always helpful and always quick to respond.

We can't reccomend this venue enough.
We can't wait to return
Ronan & Nadine Ryan

Our experience with the station house was second to none, we loved every step on our journey with Sarah and the team, I can't thank them enough for all they done to make everything as smooth as possible, with covid we had to postpone twice and finally on our 3rd date it went ahead and nothing was to much for them. Everyone of our guests were in awe of the hotel and grounds and all the comment on our photos have said it looked like a fairytale and that's exactly how it felt, the food was out of this world and the options for the menu there alot of choices for all types. I wish I could do it all again. Thanks so much to the station house and all the staff for everything xxx

I feel a little saddened when I read these amazing reviews of the Station House for people's weddings. I feel like I was not so lucky on my own day. Let me first say that the Station House is a stunning venue and we had the most beautiful ceremony there, and any of the staff we dealt with on the day were very nice. However the service on the day was a big disappointment and I'm still feeling let down by the Hotel. Our Wedding Coordinator was good to deal with on the run up to the wedding, but we hardly saw her on the day. We had a new manager in charge of our big day. It's obvious now that she was inexperienced. Where do I begin? There was no wine served at the dinner until I actually had to ask for them to serve it. They forgot to give our guests the toast drinks that we had arranged (I didn't even realise this until the next day and I was so embarrassed) Some of my friends have since told me that the service at dinner was not good. I shudder to think of what happened that I dont know about. The worst thing that happened was when manager closed the bar and actually went home at 12 o'clock without telling us there would be no more drink served. This was very upsetting. The manager eventually came back to the hotel and did us the 'favour' of selling us bottles of beer and wine. We were all residents and it never entered my head that this would happen. Perhaps Covid restrictions meant they had to close the bar at a certain time, however we were never told this beforehand. By the time the problem was sorted the majority of our guests had gone to bed which ended the night for us. There were a number of other silly mistakes that I won't mention. I filled in a questionnaire (honestly) at their request and I never even got a response to that. I chased it up and finally got an email from the General Manager who apologised and offered us a free night at the Hotel. I have since emailed about this and yet again got no response. I paid good money for my wedding at the Station House yet I've been left with a very bad taste in my mouth about the whole day. We were a very very easy couple to deal with, who made no demands, but they got the simplest things wrong. I feel a big sense of unfairness that people have amazing weddings at the Station House while we were so badly let down on the day.

It took me a long time to write this review, we have been married for over 4 months at this stage but I wanted to make sure my review was not written out of emotion and that we still felt this way a few months down the line.
I do not like writing unhappy reviews, however, myself and my husband spent our entire life savings on this day and it just was not up to the service we expected or paid for. For context, we got married during Covid 19 when we could only have 25 guests at the wedding reception, in order to function with this little numbers we had to pay an additional venue hire fee, which put the cost of our per person amount at almost double the original (I did not have a problem with this at the time, but I am disappointed with the service for the money we paid).
Let me start by saying we had a wonderful day regardless, the venue was beautiful, the staff were lovely and our guests had a great day. However due to the service on the day we were very disappointed. On the run up to the wedding we had been working with the wedding coordinator who was excellent, she really has a gift for weddings and made us feel confident and taken care of. Unfortunately, she was not there for the whole day of the wedding, she was only there at the beginning of the day. I didn't not expect her to be there for the whole day but I expected the person left in charge after her to be informed about my wedding.
Numerous things on our wedding day either were wrong or didn't happen.
During the ceremony I had asked for the pink carpet on the aisle as I didn't like red carpets, I had showed a picture of the pink carpet and they said they weren't sure if they still had it but if they did they would use it and if they didn't there would be no carpet, which I agreed to. However on the day of the wedding there was an old tattered red carpet which I didn't know about until walking down the aisle, it is now in all of our wedding pictures and looks horrible. I guess there was a communication issue on which of the old carpets to use.
On the day my husband had to ask for the bathroom baskets we had made to be put in the bathrooms as he saw that there weren't there.
During the reception numerous things went wrong, and old seating plan was used with people who were not at the wedding as they couldn't travel, even though I had sent the most updated one within the time frame they required. I had to check over the table and ask them to get the placecards for the guests that were not on the old seating plan.
When we sat down to eat, there hadn't been enough seats put out, which made me terribly embarrassed as it looked as though my grandparents weren't supposed to be at the wedding, because of this my grandparents table wasn't decorated and they didn't receive their placecard or menu which I had made.
I know its only a small thing but the candle sticks on the table were not the ones we had chosen either.
There was no music played during the reception even though they were given what music to play, my husband had spent months curating a playlist for this. We also had to ask for the speeches to take place, however, none of the staff knew how use the speaker so my husband had to leave the reception to go out to the car and get the speakers we had hired for the ceremony and set up the sound himself . When we went into the bar after the meal there was still no music being played, there was supposed to be a different playlist that my husband had curated for this part of the day. Instead his sister had to give them her phone to play, meaning she had no phone for the night.

It felt that we had to check every single detail at every step of the wedding which is the last thing we wanted on the day.
Then after all that, on the morning after our wedding, we were staying in their bridal sweet which is a separate building and also where the bridal party had gotten ready. They did not tell us that there was only one tank of water. I had a bath in the morning and I guess with that on top of the bridesmaids getting ready there, there was no hot water left for my husband to have a shower. When he tried to use the cold shower, it then broke and would not turn off, we rang reception with no answer so my husband went down to get someone. There was then a workman in our room for the whole morning and my husband had to shower in his sisters room. I do not have any issues with the shower breaking, it's a part of life and not something you can plan for, however, there were no accommodations made for us, no other shower or space provided, thankfully his sister offered her her room.

Overall we were just so disappointed on the day especially because of the extra cost we had to pay. Let me stress that the staff were really kind and helpful when asked upon. The issue seemed like it was communication, their staff on the day should have been given detailed information about our wedding.

Brilliant and supportive with all the changes that happened this year. Loved our wedding day.

The Station House Hotel is a wonderful location for a wedding, highlighted by the warmth and professionalism of their staff, who were extremely friendly and helpful, with no request being too much for them. This was emphasised by their wedding coordinator Aimee, who was fantastic to deal with. We had to postpone our wedding from March until September due to Covid and Aimee was always so positive and friendly, no matter the question or issue and always put our minds at ease.
It is a beautiful location and one we fell in love with from our first viewing. The recent renovations to the hotel have made it even more charming. The whole process from food tasting to our wedding day was great and very relaxed. Aimee was always on hand to guide us through the whole process, giving advice and ensuring that our wedding day would reflect what we were looking for and would run smoothly.
We were extremely lucky with the weather for the weekend as it was lovely and sunny. The wedding itself had a very relaxed atmosphere, thanks to Aimee, Emma and the staff. We had an amazing day, and nothing was too much to ask. The function room, turntable and grounds were decorated beautifully. With the great weather, we were able to spend more time outside chatting with our guests and take advantage of the grounds. The grounds are beautiful, they are nice to explore and are a great setting for wedding photos. The hotel is a lovely, relaxed setting full of charm.
If you are looking for a venue for your wedding, we would highly recommend the Station House Hotel.

We got married in the Station House in September 2020. We were one of the few lucky couples who were able to actually have our wedding this year. We had to make some changes in line with restrictions, but the day turned out so special for us that we really didn't mind in the end. The staff in the Station House were to thank for that. Even in the middle of all the madness and uncertainty of Covid restrictions, Aimee and all the team at the Station House really made us feel that our wedding day was the most important thing going on!

The venue itself has a beautiful set up and it was perfect for a personal wedding with no fussing. All the staff made everything so easy for us and our guests were all very impressed with the venue and the food as well couldn't have been better. We were extremely well looked after on the day.

We would definitely recommend the Station House as a perfect wedding venue!

After having to reschedule and eventually cancel our destination dream wedding we decided to have a look at some Irish venues.
We immediately fell head over heels in love with The Station House Hotel, Kilmessan. We were sold before even sitting down and chatting with Aimee Mooney, the wedding coordinator.
It all got even better from there.
In the midst of a pandemic and such tight restrictions we were looked after with such care. Nothing we asked for was too much.
Aimee and the team kept in touch during every government announcement. They were there when I needed a cry about numbers, they helped me figure out how to keep everyone happy during such challenging times.
This was all new for them too, and they handled it amazingly. I didn't have to do any stressing on the short lead up to our special day.
The price of the packages they offer is absolutely amazing. We were on a tight budget with loosing out from our original wedding booking but it wasn't tight for The Station House. We were blown away by what was included in the packages, we were so delighted to be able to afford so much. We went for the Summer Express package - it is excellent.
We got married on the 18th August 2020 and the day went so smoothly and perfectly. Aimee and Emma Donegan looked after everything, I didn't need to think about a thing other than having a fantastic day.
The grounds are absolutely stunning. The food was so gorgeous - from breakfast, afternoon tea, nibbles and dinner. The facilities are excellent and you want for nothing. You don't even need to do any decorating because their decor is simply stunning.
Although the venue is an old train station it was fully accessible for both my daughter who has mobility issues and my nana who is 95. The grounds are small and intimate and there was rooms to suit every one.
The hotel's accommodation is fabulous. It is newly renovated. It is so chic, stylish and vintage all in one. Right up my street! And also so fitting with the beautiful surroundings.
We got married in the turntable, it was the most enchanted, stunning and unique place. The sound of nature and the tall trees surrounding us was just magical.
I can't stress enough that under such tight rules and restrictions Aimee and Emma really made our day so perfect and full of love. While being very professional it was like having two friends organise and guide your wedding day.
We will be forever grateful for them and the Slattery family

we got married in August 2020 and had an amazing day. the staff were very accommodating friendly and helpful. food was lovely and the night was great in general. we couldnt have asked for much more considering the restrictions brought about by covid19 both us and the venue had to make unfortunate compromises but it all worked out great in the end. will definitely recommend.

The Station House Hotel is a fantastic venue for a wedding and I would highly recommend it to any couple.

There was nothing I could fault them for. Every aspect of our day was covered and all the extra little details that made the day so special and unforgettable. The setting and grounds are fabulous for photographs. The bridal suite is beyond amazing - a very unique experience.

The staff were all brilliant and so friendly and helpful. I have regularly been at a wedding where you feel at the end of your night you have overstayed your welcome. This was not the case the staff at the end of the night were still as friendly as they were at the beginning of the evening.

The food was beautiful and we have since gone back to have dinner there on special occasions.

The Station House Hotel is a must see for any couple that are looking at venues for their special day. They will not be let down by this quaint special place.

One word to describe The Station House is magical. On the 07 September 2019 my dream came true. I had the perfect wedding day in the most beautiful setting. If you are looking for vintage, romantic, and something special the Station House will not let you down! Words can't describe how magical this place is with its fairy lights, vintage decor and amazing team. I train customer service skills, and as such have very high expectations for same. The team at the Station House excel at making you and your guests feel at home. I remember a few days before the big day we were in the Station House finalising last minute details, and while we there one of the lounge girls and bar men came up to us to personally introduce themselves, and wish us luck before the big day, which I thought was a lovely gesture. I also have to give a special thank you to Jade and Emma, (wedding coordinator and operational manager) for making sure everything ran like clockwork on the day. Words can't describe how grateful we are for our beautiful day. Thank you so much for helping to make our day perfect xxx

From the monnent we decided to have our wedding at the station house, everything went smoothly from the communication to the day itself. I dont think there could of been any more that the wedding planners and staff could of done for us. Our wedding in the station house hotel went beyond our expectation and it turely was the best day ever.
Id recommend the station house in a heartbeat. Aahhh and the food OMG was amazing.

We had the most magical wedding day in The Station House. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were outstanding. They are so professional, helpful and friendly. The food was fantastic. It was an absolute pleasure organising our wedding with the wedding team. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

We had a fabulous wedding weekend at the Station House, Emma and the team on the weekend were amazing and everything went off so well. In the run up to the wedding, there was a change of wedding planners and we found it hard to communicate as were were dealing with 2/3 diff people becuase of this some small things got missed. Other than that we were over the moon at how well our wedding went and would recommend to anyone

We decided in November 2018 to look for a venue with a date in mind of March 2019! We had looked at some other venues but the outdoor ceremony site with all the fairy lights and lanterns really sold it for us. And the intimate homey feel, we would be the only ones there so no strange guests would be wandering around. Michelle was amazing and so accommodating of our scatter-brain planning style. They provided a list of suppliers that we could use or not, after some searching we booking all of the recommended suppliers, they were brilliant. They set out realistic and achievable deadlines for payments so it didn't feel overwhelming. Michelle even gave us the idea for The Fire Guys for our evening entertainment. 6 months later, people are still talking about it. Emma on the day was like a super-ninja, out of sight working her magic so nothing went sideways. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, food was amazing, definitely worth going back just to eat! It didnt feel stuffy and "the usual". The salmon was divine. I loved the throne chairs especially with my poofy dress. They really thought of all the little things to make our big day unforgettable.

Jo and myself had a fabulous day our wedding day was more than we had expected staff were just brilliant in every way to make it so special for all those couples looking for a venue don't hesitate to look at the station house it will be more than you could imagine the staff helped us and gave us so many fantastic ideas to help it make it our special day to remember thank you all

We had the most beautiful day.
Niamh and Emma and all the staff even the house keeping staff could't do enough for us.

We had our wedding on October 20th this year. To say it was an amazing day would be an understatement. For a start, obviously the venue is absolutely beautiful and the old train turntable in the woods was what initially sold us on this venue as we really wanted an outdoor ceremony more than anything. The hotel itself is also lovely, the bar area and library are very cosy and welcoming.. all our guests kept telling us how lovely the place was and how it was one of the nicest venues they?d ever been at for a wedding! On the day, I have to say the staff were superb, they were there to help and be there 100% for every request and query, in particular I want to mention Grainne from front desk and Emma who was there facilitating everything for the ceremony and reception, they really couldn't have done more and again people have been commenting on how great the staff were. The food was beautiful and again everyone said how fab it was especially the mains which were chicken and salmon.. I couldn't have asked for a better day and we?re so happy we chose the Station House, I only wish we could do it all again! The day whizzes by sooo fast :)

Myself and johann had a wonderful day as did all our guests.the team were amazing on the day. A special thanks to niamh and emma x our only thing was that our polaroid camera disnt work which was a bit disapointing .it only took a few photos so my book is quite empty and we did explain to the hotel the day after but i didnt hear anyting back.as there is a cost for this camera i wanted to let ye no x also some of our guests rooms were quite cold
However overall we had an amazing day and again thank you all so so much xxxx

We had our big day on the 13/7/18 and so sad it's all over! We loved every minute of working with the station house hotel from our first visit right up until we left the morning after our big day. The venue itself is stunning and so quirky. We were sold on our first visit. The staff and wedding team were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The wedding meal was amazing and I couldn't fault a thing on the day itself except that it went too quick!! Loved every second of our day and our guests are still talking about it. Can't wait to come back for our anniversary. Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a picturesque and homely wedding venue.x

My husband and I got married in the Station House in early May. We have nothing but good memories from the weekend and the Station House, all its staff played a huge part in this regard. Emmet, the wedding planner, deserves a special mention as he was our point of contact and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day.

From when we first went in to discuss our big day, we found the Station House very accommodating and receptive to our requests. Emmet was always available to us and responded to any e-mails, calls and requests in a very timely manner.

We were very lucky to get a beautiful sunny day and weekend and as result the reception could be spread between the Carriage Suite and the beautifully turned out gardens. We got some great photographs out here also and it certainly enhanced the reception hugely.

As with any wedding, the food is extremely important and we received a huge amount of positive feedback about the meal. It went down well with all the guests and personally we really enjoyed it also.

All in all, we couldn't have been happier with the day I would certainly recommend the The Station House as an exceptional wedding venue.

Amazing venue food and friendly people highly recommend the Station House to anyone getting married or just for a nice break away.

My husband Ciaran and I got married in the station house at the end of September and I can honestly say it was the best day of my life the staff couldn't do more for us they were so helpful nothing was too much. Vivienne and Henry are amazing they made the day so relaxed and fun their attention to detail was unreal no stone left unturned. I would recommend this hotel to everyone as its homely, relaxed and so unique with the old train station.

The staff at the Station House went above and beyond to make our day special in every day!!
Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

When we where looking at venues for our wedding one of the most important things to us was , privacy , quirky venue, great food and service ..well the Station House does not disappoint . This venue is one of the most unusual ones in Ireland , given its outdoor space and history we both fell in love with this on arrival . The station house team to name a few , Viviene, Henry , Conor and Emmet are the most pleasant and reliable team I have ever dealt with , they go above and beyond to insure you are keep relaxed and anything you want on the day happens no matter what !

The food is amazing which was very important to us . The outdoor cermony was amazing , all our guests where blown away by the cermony in the forest . The afters in the room is brilliant as it's not to big, Just right and w e had 155 guests !

Rooms are clean , and in fitting with the hotel old fashioned. We had a dinner the night before and the Station House handled everything so well , as I keep on saying the staff have you only and make sure everything you discussed and paid for happens. I would highly recommend this venue , go check this out and thanks again to Henry and Viviene, the wedding we had will live with us for ever, you made our dream come through ! Can't wait to pop down again to see you all and have dinner ! Paul and Michael Friday 21st July 2017!

Fantastic venue!

Very responsive, helpful and they really made a huge effort for my family and me and the weathervwasnt going my way but everyone was determined it would be outside which it was!

Everything from start to finish was fantastic! I didn't have one worry on the day, Henry, vivienne and all the staff took care of everything, the venue was stunning, the food was amazing. The staff were helpful and courteous. The intimate setting meant there was no one but my guests staying the night in the hotel so we really had it all to ourselves. I couldn't have asked for a better day so many personal touches.

Generally had a great experience but we had a change in staff during between booking and the wedding so there was some delay in getting a response. Eoghan was great on the day. Food was great, location in beautiful.

No Comment- everything was AMAZING!

Amazing place, cute, private, fantastic food, great staff and service

Perfect, unique and intimate setting, premises made us feel very special and I liked that our wedding was the only event being held on the day.
Very personal and flexible attitude from all staff & MGT which was appreciated. Finally the food! the food was second to none, eat there once and you?ll understand!
This was the first premises we looked at, and with every subsequent premises we visited we were just comparing them to The station House.

Excellent sevice and amazing venue

Amazing day we all had wouldn't of asked for a better day it was perfect from start to finish , staff were so helpful all our guests had a great day , all thanks to the amazing station house . ...a little gem that you have for yourself on your special day

I had my wedding in the station house it was from start to finish amazing right from the tasting menu to the flowers the band all arranged with the help of the wedding planner she was amazing the surroundings for photos were stunning truly a magical place and all my guests agreed it was beautiful

We celebrated our wedding in fantastic style here a few weeks ago and loved every single second of it. We cannot thank the staff at the station house hotel enough and we are delighted that we chose this venue (and would/will highly recommend it to anyone) The guests from near & far, who joined us on our wedding day, raved about the hotel and how happy they were with the setting, the service and the food. We chose an all inclusive package, and each of the hotel suppliers were excellent and gave us lots of time and an excellent service- Alan (image house) met with us for an afternoon prior to the wedding as did Ruairi from Irish wedding DJs - we had not expected that either would be so available and generous with their time (not only this, we really enjoyed chatting with them and I found myself looking forward to seeing them again on the day of our wedding.)

Michael from Creative Cakes was very helpful and his website made choosing a cake easy & straightforward-the cake was lovely and exactly what I hoped it would be. ?Flowers by Moira? (Dunshaughlin), was also excellent and Moira gave me plenty of personal time in her shop and provided the flowers the evening before, beautifully presented -with tags to avoid mix ups ( also, Jenny is a Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner-in itself, very impressive!) We decided to choose our own band (Juicer, from Drogheda), and their set up went smoothly and seamlessly (they were brilliant) We had a little Ukulele Band (Ukeristic Congress) who played for our guests on arrival- they set up in under the marquee and their music could be appreciated by guests both indoors and out. The children at our wedding had a great day and they explored in the woods and had a lovely time running about safely (with their parents not needing to worry as the wooded area is small) One of the lovely things about The Station House Hotel, is that there is a cosy feel about the place and it feels like the day in the station is exclusively yours. What impressed me most is that, the staff at The Station House Kilmessan were warm and friendly- every single last person I encountered in the run up, day of and morning after, was friendly and courteous- both front line staff and staff behind the scenes. Not only this, they appeared to be enjoying being part of our day, while at the same time, working together as a professional and very efficient team. Sarah (wedding coordinator) is brilliant at what she does and, from my first telephone call to make enquiries, she put me at ease and my gut feeling told me that this would be the place for our little wedding. The reception staff, bar manager, maitre d of the day, serving staff and all other staff who were part of our wedding and the run up to it, provided us with a 100% professional service. There was not one hitch on the day and it all went smoothly. We could not have enjoyed it anymore. It was simply perfect .The Station House Hotel do a brilliant job. It's a very special place. If you are considering having your wedding in this quaint little place- it is well and truly worth paying a visit or arranging a meeting. If you are simply considering a visit, (non wedding related or wedding related!), you will be very happy with the look, feel and service of this hotel. It is a beautiful little spot (so, I have reviewed it separately, as this hotel does everything well-not just weddings)

Hello all!

on behalf on my husband and myself i would just like to say a huge thanks for all your kindness and help on the day of our wedding. everybody had a ball and the food was amazing. we were so happy with the personal nature of your hospitality, the engraved glasses were stunning and we will keep them forever.Henry was super and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable so can u pass on our thanks to Henry and all the staff who worked that day. you made our day so very special and we will be eternally grateful. we will certainly be recommending the station house to all our friends. Best wishes

Hi Sarah and Henry,
Wanted to say a Huge Big Thank You to both of you and to all of the Staff in the Station House Hotel. From the day we booked our Wedding, back in September 2009, until the day itself, we couldn't have asked for more. No question was too much and everything on the day was perfect. The little touches you added on the day were fantastic and made the day all the more special. Everyone has been raving about it ever since and they all agree it was one of the most relaxed weddings they have been to and I have no doubt that was mainly down to the venue and the professionalism of the staff. The food was wonderful. We couldn't have hoped for better.
Kind Regards

To Sarah and All The Staff at the Station House Hotel,
Thanks a million for what a wonderful day we both had! I just couldn't fault the hotel in any way. You all just couldn't do enough for us, and I cant believe it all over now. Everybody is still talking about what great day it was!
I really just dont know what else to say other than a massive thank you to all the staff at the hotel!! Fantastic job!!!!Im all depressed now that it's all over!!!!
