Powerscourt House and Gardens

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

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

We cannot recommend Powerscourt House and Conrad from Feast Catering enough!! Conrad was our point of contact and was there for us from start to finish and such a pleasure to deal with.
Throughout the planning he was always available, listened to all of our requests and responded (almost immediately) with the most flexible and helpful attitude, I honestly don't think there was anything he would not try make happen:)
On our wedding day he was so professional and executed the plans to perfection, along with Maria (the event design company). We got many compliments from guests about them both because the service was seamless and the external vendors set all dealt with smoothly and unnoticeably.
The space is a beautiful canvas to begin with, especially having access to the gardens for additional pictures, but these guys just exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much!

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

September 1st 2018 was a magical day for both of us - as all wedding days should be. But a huge part of the magic was made by Conrad, the team at Feast, and of course, the beautiful setting of Powerscourt House. Selecting Powerscourt House as our wedding venue was an easy choice - it's stunning and exactly what we had in mind, but we hoped the service, the food, the ambiance, and all the rest, would also live up to the setting and what we envisioned. Suffice to say it did. Conrad was a great support on the day and in the lead up to the wedding - he was a real pleasure to work with and at all times put us and our wishes first. The service staff were prompt, attentive and friendly. And the food was fantastic. All in all, we had the best day of our lives and, looking back now, are delighted we chose to spend it at Powerscourt House.

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

Stunning Venue, it more than lived up to our dreams.

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

"We had the most fantastic, special day in probably the most spectacular wedding venue in Ireland. From the scenery to the food, our guests and ourselves were just blown away with the day. The ballroom is such a stunning room to have a reception, as are the beautiful gardens. Everything went perfectly, Conrad and the team were just so professional and helpful and it really was the best day of our lives."

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

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

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

We're massive fans of Powerscourt. I took Ruby here on our second date as I wanted to show her the very best of Ireland. She had had some pretty bad experiences when she first arrived in the country and I wanted to show her that Ireland had a lot more to offer. She fell in love with Powerscourt immediately, and we've been coming here ever since! There was never really any question about where we wanted our wedding in Ireland to be!

We have to say a massive thanks to Conrad from Feast Catering for all of his hard work. The day went flawlessly, and that's all down to Conrad and his team! He was completely unflappable on the day and we were (and still are) completely in awe of him!

Just a short note to thank you for co-ordinating such a fabulous day for our wedding. It was a miracle that the sun came out and the views of the gardens were spectacular. The house itself looked so beautiful especially the main dining room. The food was delicious with compliments coming from all of our guests on the quality and service ever since. You made it all seem so seamless and we really couldn?t have done it without you! Quality Service & Spectacular Gardens!

Mark and I looked at many venues for our wedding but once we visited Powerscourt House, we knew this was the venue for us! It seemed fitting for us to get married at the Powerscourt House after we got engaged in Powerscourt.
On our wedding day we found the staff as a whole extremely professional, all the Powerscourt team were so helpful and lovely with us during the whole experience. We feel the Powerscourt venue is unique with one best gardens in the world, the food was absolutely amazing. We both had the most amazing day and on looking back there is not a single thing we would have changed. We had wedding guests from all over the world such as Brazil, Thailand, Dubai, London, Edinburgh and Ukraine and more and they all complimented us repeatedly on our wedding day on the amazing venue and the high standards of the meal and staff.

We wanted to say thank you so much for making our day so memorable and special.

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

?We would like to express our gratitude to Powerscourt House and Feast who together ensured that our wedding ran smoothly at this stunning venue. Powerscourt House and Gardens is a unique setting and we loved filling it with our family and friends to make it special to us on our wedding day. The food was delicious and everyone we dealt with throughout the planning process and on the day itself were professional, friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend it as a venue.?

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

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

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

We cannot thank the team at Powerscourt House enough. Your beautiful venue and highly professional service played a big part in making our wedding day a really happy occasion for us and our guests.

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

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

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

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

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

Before viewing the venue at Powerscourt House we had looked at 3 other potential venues.
All of the other venues we had reviewed where ?ok?, they were very much ?standard? wedding venues, like every other wedding venue, providing a standard offering of a function room, within which the entire event (reception, meal and after party) would take place.
We felt as if choosing one of those venues would have been settling for something very ordinary .
This is where Powerscourt house is very different. . .

About 5 minutes into viewing Powerscourt house, we had decided that this is where we were having our wedding, it was an obvious decision based on everything the venue had to offer;
The multiple rooms to utilize, the rustic d?cor, the extent to which we could customise the venue, not to mention the absolutely stunning setting the location of the house offers.

After viewing Powerscourt house, we didn?t even bother looking at any other venue, we knew no other venue could come close.

Our decision was the correct one. . .
May 22nd 2015 was an amazing day that will live long in our memory and in the memories of all our guests. The venue is certainly a key contributor to those happy memories.
Where else can you sip Prosecco looking out at one of the top gardens in the world, and party the night away in a venue which is also a historic landmark of Ireland.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our wedding at Powerscourt was everything we had dreamed of and so much more.
From start to finish and right throughout the planning process, the team at
Powerscourt proved to be outstanding.
The wonderful atmosphere throughout our day from the ceremony, to our drinks
reception on the lawn, our fabulous evening filled with sumptuous food, music and
lots of dancing provided us with our dream wedding.
Powerscourt as a venue is simply stunning. The beautiful views of the gardens and
mountains are exceptional and these coupled with a magnificent ballroom and
ceremony room provided us with a truly exquisite wedding day. Attention to detail
was a priority for us, as it is with so many other couples and the team at
Powerscourt provided us with a seamless day. A very special mention to Annette
?? the event planner who was attentive, accurate and reassuring right throughout
the process. She is a true professional and we cannot thank her enough for the
wonderful job she did and how she managed our day. Also to Darrell whose
assistance throughout our day was impeccable. Our guests wanted for nothing.
The food was absolutely delicious. Good food is something we both enjoy and we
were not disappointed. The sumptuous menu provided by Feast lived up to our
expectations and to that of our guests! The delicious lemon tart dessert still
resonates with us, a testament to the quality provided by Feast.
Powerscourt captured our hearts right from the beginning and we cannot think of a
more exquisite venue to hold such an important day in our lives. Our memories of
our wedding day at Powerscourt was like a dream come true and truly a beautiful
place to begin our married life together, every second of our day was flawless.
Thank you.

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

Thank you so so so much for everything that you did for our special day. From the moment we contacted you the service has been flawless. You knew exactly what we had envisaged and captured it beautifully. You made everything personal from creating our bespoke English themed menu to congratulating us on the day when we arrived at the House. The detailing and thought that had been put into our menu was perfect and since then we have been inundated with compliments on how fabulous and unique the food was. The service on the day was excellent and our guest wanted for nothing. When we walked into the Ballroom at Powerscourt it was even better than we had imagined. It looked absolutely stunning, everything and more that we could have dreamed of.

Thank you so much again for all of your hard work and commitment on the day, we could have not asked for more. We will definitely being using you again for any other occasion and will be sure to recommend your expert services to anyone that asks.

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