The Award Winning Station House Hotel is one of Ireland's truly unique wedding venues. Formerly a busy railway junction, The Station House Hotel is Located just 20 miles from Dublin in the heart of the Boyne Valley and Ireland's Ancient East, in the quaint village of Kilmessan in County Meath.

Newly Refurbished

The refurbishment draws inspiration from travels across the globe, where Irish country chic meets with eclectic influences from India, Istanbul, Middle East and beyond. The blend of local Irish made furniture and hand-made accessories from international artisans, combined with original antiques from The Station House and it’s history as a busy railway junction, all combine to give the venue its unique feel and charm.

Some of the more unusual design features include:

  • Hand-woven rugs from Jaipur in India, by ‘From Jaipur with Love’ (rugs designed together with founder and Irish lady, Elizabeth Morrison)
  • Hand-made lighting from a wonderful set of talented crafts people including Mullan Lighting in County Cavan
  • Beautiful fabrics from Christopher Farr Cloth, La Maison Pierre Frey, William Morris & Co., and Harlequin as well as wonderful Irish velvets
  • Works of art adorn bedroom walls with ‘Van Gough’ cherry blossom wall-paper, and Zoffany woodland prints bringing the outside in
  • Original paintings from local artist Deirdre Hoffman are combined with eclectic wall art through-out
  • Deluxe mattresses and 300 thread-count Egyptian cotton bed linen through-out
  • Organic Irish seaweed products from Voya and luxurious slippers, complimentary for each guest
  • Smart TVs and high speed wifi

Firstly let me say, besides from the beauty of this venue, the best thing about it definitely was how helpful and amazing Sarah, the wedding coordinator is, myself and my fiancé decided to go ahead with our wedding on our original date regardless of covid and all it’s restrictions, after weeks, months even, of turmoil of postponing. We decided instead of our original venue, we would find something in our county just in case worst came to worst and in 2 months Sarah helped me organise my dream day. The food, staff, services, rooms and grounds are all absolutely amazing, I really feel like I had the most beautiful wedding, and I would recommend The Station House, Sarah and all the staff to anyone whos looking for a beautiful and scenic venue with the friendliest and most accommodating staff! Thank you so much Sarah for everything!

Dear Megann Thank you so much for the lovely review and for choosing The Station House to host your special day. We are delighted to read you enjoyed the day and really appreciate the recommendation. I will be sure and pass your compliments on to Sarah and the team! Wishing you both every happiness in the future. Kind regards Denise Slattery

Having seen our wedding postponed twice, both in March and August, we re-booked the Station House for November. Having originally booked for over 120 guests we worried that our big day would not be as memorable with just 25 guests. How wrong we were! A smaller crowd meant that our venue was changed from the function room to the restaurant. The wedding team in the Station House created a stunning venue for us and our guests. Flowers, scented candles and personalized menu cards were expertly arranged to create a heavenly reception venue. On arrival at the Station House we were met by friendly and attentive staff who served up prosecco, craft beer and delicious canapes. Photographs were taken in the stunning grounds of the hotel. From the beautiful gardens to the historic turntable, there were so many idyllic places for wedding photos to be taken. Our photographer commented that it was an ideal setting. Following our speeches which were held in the bar, we moved into the restaurant for the meal. Every guest commented on the quality of the meal from start to finish. it is impossible to pick out a highlight of the meal - it was so good. More than enough for all guests and extras offered to those with a larger appetite. Staff during the meal were very attentive and were quick to assist with anything requested by guests. Following our meal we retired back to the bar. Although no live music was permitted due to COVID rules, the intimate atmosphere of the bar meant there was no shortage of chats and laughs. Luckily for us, a wedding guest was a trained pianist and he was happy to play some tunes on the hotel's piano which of course lead to an impromptu sing-song. At the end of the night we retired to our honeymoon suite. The Honeymoon Suite simply is a must-see. Luxury, comfort and history all rolled into one. The Station House Hotel went above and beyond to ensure we had a dream day. The wedding team of Aimee and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure we had a dream day.

We are truly blessed with the whole team here at The Station House and I will pass your compliments on to all. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best wishes for your future together.

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 wanted to try and take some time to thank you and to put into words how much we appreciate everything that was done for us last week. > > Aimee, you kept in touch with us throughout the build up and answered our many questions with patience and understanding. You reached out to wish us good luck and made all interactions so personal, friendly and full of laughter. You basically made planning a wedding smooth, easy and enjoyable. > > Sarah and Denise, who listened to my many tears over the phone last week, when we were convinced we would need to cancel, you were full of help and reassurance, and massively helped to reduce our anxiety. > > To all the staff on the day, who were so personal with us, everytime they spoke with us. You laughed with us, and made us feel like absolutely royalty for the day. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel in general exceeded every expectation we could possibly have had in our minds. We are beyond satisfied with our choice to book our wedding with you, and have been since that first day two years ago, when we drove up the driveway and were greeted by Emmett. We booked immediately and have never looked back. > > Finally to Emma, we can't begin to express our gratitude to you. Above and beyond doesn't begin to describe all that you did. Staying the night on Friday, to allow me to stay over, just to calm my hysterics, in itself is so mind blowing, but you were always within eye shot throughout the day. We knew you were crazy busy, keeping everything under control. As far as we were concerned the day went without a hitch. > On a personal note, in the run up to the wedding I was worried about getting ready to walk up the aisle after my bridesmaids had gone ahead. I was so worried about being alone with my thoughts at that moment, and not having my dad beside me. But you stood in front of me, almost as if you knew, you kept eye contact, and you reassured me that you will stay alongside me, on the other path, while I walked myself. I will never forget that moment, and the support I felt from you. I may have been a teary bag of emotions, but I knew I wasn't alone. > > Without hesitation, we would recommend the station house hotel to anybody that will listen, for any occasion. > > When all odds seemed against us, you were as determined as we were to see the wedding through. Your work ethic and professionalism knows no bounds. > > Please let us know, when you might open again as a hotel to the public, we will be first on the list to return and hope to return regularly for a long time to come. > > A million "thank you"s and much love > Ann and Mark Callanan

The station house hotel was the most amazing venue. All our guests adored it, the sun shone and everyone thought it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The food and service was second to none. Aimee our wedding coordinator was the loveliest person and nothing was a problem and both herself and Emma made us feel like absolute VIPs on our wedding day. We had such a rollercoaster leading up to wedding due to Covid19 and restrictions but the station house were so positive and we felt so safe. I woukd give them a 100 stars if I could and I would urge anyone looking to book a wedding venue please visit here. It is absolutly magical and I wish we could do it all again. Helen & Paul

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! Aislinn & Simon

We got married in the Station House, Kilmessan on the 4th of September which was our original date. We had a short engagement and organised our wedding within 5 months however regardless of the short time our journey was plain sailing and enjoyable thanks to the general manager Emma and our wedding co ordinator Aimee, no question was silly or task too big for these incredible girls! Organising a wedding during a pandemic and also working on the frontline was challenging but regards our venue we didn’t have to worry about anything. On our wedding day the sun was out and we got to get married outside with incredible photos around the grounds, everyone felt safe with guidelines adhered to and we were able to enjoy our wedding day despite reduced numbers.

We found the Station House at a wedding fair. When we went to visit it was love at first site. The venue is beautiful and the new renovations are fabulous. We had our challenges with Covid starting at 120 guests and ending up with 45 but the team at the hotel were fabulous throughout the process. They were so flexible on the day getting us umbrellas and blankets for the outdoor ceremony last minute and adjusting times wherever necessary as the day developed. The guests had a ball and we're recommending the venue to their friends from the next morning. The food was also delicious.

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 had our wedding in October 2019. Searching venues was so difficult and I knew what I wanted from the start but nowhere else I had viewed gave me that feeling the Station House did. From the beginning to emailing Sarah (wedding Planner) I knew we wanted to have our special day there. When we arrived for our wedding viewing the hotel was just stunning and the grounds beautiful. Sarah was so amazing, she made us feel like we were the only bride & groom out there. Anything we asked for they met our needs. Nothing was an issue & they went above & beyond for us both. We had many meetings coming up to our wedding day & each time was so pleasant & we were treated so well. Sarah took such an interest in every part of our day not only the venue but, dresses, hair etc. All the staff are so friendly, The food was exceptional (words from our guests too) and the ballroom was finished to the finest detail. I still dream about doing it all over again & the day was just perfect, more then we could have ever imagined & that was down to every member of staff at the Station House Hotel, we would highly recommend the Station House as a wedding venue.

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.

Our wedding at the Station House Hotel was absolutely incredible! We found Michelle and Jade, the wedding planners, very easy to deal with in the run up to the wedding. They were always on the other end of the phone or would reply via email promptly. Their attention to detail was second to none. Ciara in accommodation was fantastic about answering questions and changing rooms. On the day itself, Emma was absolutely incredible! She made sure everyone was catered for, even people who hadn't submitted their dietary requirements prior. My grandparents are in their late 80's and my husband Nana is in her early 80's, Emma made sure they were especially well looked after. The venue itself is beautiful. We were lucky that the weather was beautiful and we could have our ceremony outside in the wonderful turntable. All of the food was delicious! The Station House focus heavily on good quality local produce and it shows. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their day, night and the great breakfast the following morning. My husband and I can't speak highly enough of the Station House Hotel and would highly recommend it to any couple getting married.

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

We had a perfect day at the Station House Hotel. The staff were attentive, the grounds were lovely and lush and they made us feel really special. We received personalised champagne flutes on arrival, which was a nice touch. Having our speeches outside made them less formal and more relaxed. The food was exceptional. Everyone is still commenting on how quality the food was. The soup was hot and delicious. Venue was stunning and table settings were fabulous. I loved the glittery table cloth that went under the cake stand. The only part of the Process where I left let down was on communication. Sometimes we have to chase to hear back from the coordinators (who changed over the year). Also we live abroad and the station house were unable to accommodate us for a food tasting on a day other than a Wednesday, which didn’t work for us to visit. The food turned out lovely but it would have been nice to have had the tasting experience. All in all a brilliant day, great money for value and I would very highly recommend them.

Fell in love with the venue straight away, and booked it at the earliest opportunity. Great to be able to have an outdoor wedding in such an unusual and beautiful setting (has to be seen to be believed). Staff were really great and the level of service was outstanding. Found Michelle and Niamh, the two wedding coordinators we dealt with very professional and easy going. Emma, the restaurant manager was in charge of things on the day itself and was really outstanding, in particular making a special effort with elderly guests and their dietary requirements. Food was top notch and again allergies and dietary requirements were very well catered for. Lovely to have such an intimate and private venue for the day. Loved our day and the Station House really lived up to its reputation. A big thank you to all the staff!

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.

The team at The Station House were fantastic and we had a wonderful wedding day. We arranged the wedding from abroad so we could only call or email but their communication was great and they were so easy to deal with. Everything on the day was excellent, the venue and food were amazing. We had both the ceremony and reception on site - using the beautiful outdoor area for the ceremony (even in Jan!). The Carriage Suite was so beautifully decorated, perfect to host our guests. Everything ran so smoothly and the team on the day were wonderful. We would highly recommend The Station House to anyone considering it as a venue.

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 :)

Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and on our wedding day we did not once have to worry about a thing! The all inclusive package is amazing value for money and such a life saver if like myself your life was already hectic before you started planning your wedding!

Dear Patricia Many thanks for your review, and we are really sorry that no-one has been in touch with you as yet on the Polaroid. One of our wedding team will be in touch this week on this, and am very sorry that for some reason it did not take the full amount of pictures on the day - thank you for bringing it to our attention. On the room temperature, again that is a strange one as usually we have the opposite complaint of the buildings being too hot. Again, we are very sorry for this and hope it didn't upset your day.

The Station House Hotel was a wonderful place to get married. Emmet, Niamh and all the team went above and beyond for us and created a truly special day. Niamh took every little detail into account and was so professional throughout. Emmet was by our side from beginning to end. Always at the other end of the phone and very fast responding to the many emails sent. The hotel staff are all so friendly - there is a lovely, warm, family feel in The Station House Hotel. Emmet also talked us through the whole day and was always a few steps ahead of us making sure the day ran smoothly from start to finish and was there with a glass of prosecco or a pint for us in little moments of quiet! I would thoroughly recommend The Station House Hotel for any special occasion. The food is delicious. The grounds are immaculately kept and the hotel itself is so charming. All our guests had a fabulous time and we had a Wedding we cherish forever. Thank you so very much to The Station House Hotel!!

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.

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 were seeking a venue for a small wedding.

They were happy to make changes to the set offerings to suit our needs, and the staff at all times were helpful and friendly.

The wedding was in June and we wanted to hold the ceremony outside in the beautiful grounds, with the lovely stone bridge as the backdrop. The weather was nice enough but at the end of the ceremony it started to rain heavily. We all went back indoors to sign the documents, but the photo session we had planned for outside was compromised. The staff immediately set up the large room where we could do the photo session. They were so helpful, dealing with the last minute change so professionally and in such a friendly way. The venue is fantastic but i have to say that the staff made it even more special, and they made our day!

They were a bit uncertain at the start of our planning as we met with 4 different people at first - one planner left, replaced by another one who moved on, then the manager of the hotel and finally another planner who was fantastic. Bit of a mix-up with rooms on the day before the wedding which got sorted. The venue was exactly what we wanted - we could do everything in the one place without all that moving from church to hotel messing that usually goes on. It meant we had a lovely relaxed atmosphere at our wedding which is what we wanted. Food was fantastic as well.

We had a lovely day here. We were looked after so well from the moment we booked the hotel a year prior to our wedding. The day was very relaxed and ran so smoothly. Some of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had been at. The food was delicious, can't wait to go back for our anniversary dinner

Hi Aoife & Dermot, We are delighted that you and all your guests enjoyed the food so much. I will pass that on to our chef. See you both in April. Vivienne

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.

I was a very chilled out bride and had total support from the Wedding Planner Sarah. It was a total pleasure in dealing with everyone at the station house. The only thing that couldnt be controlled was the weather which was like the band Wet Wet Wet but that didnt dampen our day at the venue

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at The Station House where we enjoyed a wedding like no other. From the arrival to the dinner, to the stay over and on to the next day breakfast and checkout, the entire time was absolutely stunning. Will highly recommend to all. Special thanks to Derek who helped me (the Best Man) throughout the day. Many thanks again. C. Quinn.

After attending a friend’s wedding at The Station House and falling in love with this enchanting little venue in its picturesque setting (looks great in the photos) we decided to have our wedding reception here too and we had a fantastic day! I can’t say enough about how our day was managed with the precision and refinement that only comes from experience, they truly made our day extra special. Because of this we had a stress free experience which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day also, something, I am told, is rare for a bride and groom. The food was excellent. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day too, which meant a lot to us. Special thanks to Derek and Henry for their excellent attention to detail, Sarah our wedding planner and all the staff for their friendly and attentive service, no one wanted for anything at anytime. Many thanks for a wonderful day; we look forward to visiting again.

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)

We got married here in March and can’t say thank you enough to Sarah, Derek and the staff at the Station House. We live in Australia and Sarah made it so easy to organise and helped us out without hesitation, she was in fact our wedding planner and organiser! We opted for the Winter package and it was such good value, all the vendors were brilliant - Mary the flower lady was just a gem to deal with and the flowers were so brilliantly put together. John the Photographer was so good we didn’t even know he was there! The cake was so beautiful we didn’t want to cut it! and the driver was such an expert on all things wedding and directed my Dad and I when we got to the church and made us feel so at ease. The dinner was so wonderful and there was so much of it! The reception room was perfect for our size wedding of 120 and Derek was just so nice and helpful and made us feel so relaxed! He made sure we had everything that we needed and is a credit to the hotel. All our guests have commented that they had a great night and loved the hotel, I can’t recommend The Station House enough as it really made the day perfect for us!

I got married in the Station House Hotel in January 2013 but I can safely say that there are no words to describe how happy we were. From the minute we met with Sarah the wedding coordinator we just knew this was the place for us. She was always so helpful answering all the silly little questions we had along the way. Nothing was too much trouble. On the day itself Derek who is the banqueting manager was just amazing. He made us feel so relaxed. He took our best man aside to run through how the running of the meal and speeches would work (I think he even wrote a piece of his speech too although he never told us!!!) What can I say about the food........ wow!! Every course was a piece of heaven. All our guests complimented on the food. Their homemade Yorkshire puddings were so delicious that I asked for another one and they happily obliged!!! The highlight for me was their signature dessert, a symphony of desserts. It was just spectacular. The whole day and evening was flawless. We booked an all inclusive package with the hotel and they arrange the photographer, cake, car, flowers for the bridal party and church and the band. It was the most stress free wedding I could ever have hoped for. We had 130 people to our wedding and it was just perfect. I had spoken to many of my girlfriends who had gotten married over the last couple of years who had been totally stressed out leading up to their wedding but we just took everything in our stride and let the Station House arrange it all!!! All in all I would recommend this hotel to any couple looking for an intimate place to get married. The food and service are second to none, the staff are what make the hotel and I cannot wait to go back again for my first anniversary meal.

David and I would most sincerely like to thank Derek, Henry, Sarah and all the staff for making our day so so special and memorable. It was like a dream and was even better than we had hoped for it to be. Everyone remarked on what a magical, unique, picturesque setting for our ceremony and how the staff were so pleasant, helpful and went out of their way to make sure everyone was looked after and how great the food was. If we were to do it again we would most definitely be arranging it again at your hotel and could not recommend it highly enough to anyone who is going to get married. If they have half as good a day as we did they'd be lucky! Again thank you so much for making our day even more special than we could have imagined.

We just wanted to say thank you all so so much for giving myself and Ciaran the most wonderful day of our lives on the 9th of July last. The hotel in its own right is amazing but this would be nothing without wonderful staff, food and an atmosphere in the place that is second to none. From the very first night we went to look at the hotel, we were met by a friendly receptionist and we got a really good overall feeling about the place and knew it was the hotel for us. From dealings with Barbara, Patrice, Sarah and Henry, to name a few, nothing was too much trouble and you all made us feel at ease and that everything was taken care of, which on the day, was to the highest standard. It really is no accident that you continue to win awards for your culinary expertise and as wedding specialists. Friends and family are still raving about the quality of service and the food and what a gem the hotel is. Relations and friends that never knew of the hotels existence have, since the wedding, returned to lunch and dine and continue to rave! Even one of my best friends decided to return the following week after our day to book her own wedding with you and is getting married next March. Another old work colleague of mine is getting married in September and has been in contact with me to ask about our day and I have told her not to worry about a thing; everything will be taken care of 110 percent. The only thing I can say that let us down on the day was the good old Irish weather!! Hand on my heart it didn’t matter to us one iota! There were ample umbrellas at every turn and lots of the guests were commenting on how many there was going back and forth. Lastly, I would like to thank you for not rushing us out of the honeymoon suite the next morning even though you had to set up the next day for another wedding. There was no rushing and we were met by Sarah who was just “great” and got us supplied with a full Irish which was very welcome indeed even at our late check out time. I really could go on all day thanking you all. From the moment we arrived back in Feb 2009, to arriving on our special day, to the amazing entrance we had into the room; just everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and I cannot stop talking about the hotel. Looking forward to returning soon for some food and cannot wait to experience our friends wedding now from the other side in March next year. Thanking you ever so much and with warmest Regards

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
