Rathsallagh House

Rathsallagh House is the most amazing venue for a wedding. From the first time we pulled up the avenue of Rathsallagh House we knew this would be the place we'd be getting married.
The staff are absolutely amazing and it honestly felt like there was nothing they couldn't do for us. Communication the whole way along was superb and we were put so at ease by the staff. We knew nothing on the day would be an issue and they were willing to change things on the day based on the weather (we got married on the hottest day of the year and it was far too hot to stay in the garden for the drinks reception so they very quickly moved the front lawn where there was more shade and older guests could stay inside).
The food is also fantastic and was complimented by all our guests. They were more than willing to accommodate any dietary requirements.
A special thank you needs to be said to our wedding coordinators Catherine and Kellie who was with us on the day. Both were fantastic and so genuinely lovely - they made us feel as if our wedding was the most important thing on their plates and honestly the day ran so smoothly I cannot thank them enough!

Rathsallagh really is a special place and we will be forever grateful to them for giving us the most perfect wedding day in August 2023.
When we first visited Rathsallagh in July 2021, the owner Joe gave us the tour, we knew straight away that it was the venue for us. Two years later when it came to our wedding day, it still absolutely exceeded our expectations!
The staff are what make Rathsallagh so special, they go above and beyond and have all details thought of before you even get to ask. The wedding team responded quickly to all our questions throughout the planning process and we have to note Aoife in the reservations team who helped us with the room allocations and made the process very easy. On the morning of our wedding, our coordinator Kellie was amazing and made sure we were well taken care of, that we had a really relaxing time getting ready and she kept us on track for the day. Throughout the day, all the staff were so attentive and friendly and always had big smiles on their faces. In particular, Rose and Avril on reception were so kind to us and had great fun with all our guests.
Our family and friends commended Rathsallagh so highly in all their feedback to us, they especially noted the gorgeous food, the beautiful grounds, the helpful staff and the wonderful rooms. To us this was so important and we were thrilled that our guests noticed all the details that were so important to us for our wedding day. For this we can’t thank Rathsallagh enough, they really gave us our dream wedding day!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rathsallagh to other couples seeking a wedding venue.

My husband and I highly recommend Rathsallagh Country House as a wedding venue.

The wedding team in Rathsallagh helped create such a special wedding day for us. From our initial wedding viewing to our goodbye the morning after our wedding, the whole experience and planning process was so enjoyable. The wedding team are so organised and experienced and we had complete trust in the team since Day 1. The team delivered on every single promise, provided fabulous ideas, communicated so well with us and paid such attention to detail throughout the planning process.

Our guests commented on the amazing grounds, friendly staff, the efficiency of "Check In" upon arrival, the gorgeous food and the beautiful Pavilion.

The grounds are truly outstanding in Rathsallagh. We got most of our wedding photos taken in the walled garden and fabulous surrounding area. There are plenty of stunning areas on the grounds to take the photos, and as a result, our photos have the most amazing backgrounds. Our guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception by having drinks outside with a lovely view.

The staff were very welcoming and attentive to our guests. "Check In" went so smoothly and everyone felt so comfortable during their stay in the immaculate rooms.

The food was absolutely gorgeous! Our guests spoke so highly of the food. We all really enjoyed our meals and that was a big highlight of the evening.

We will be forever grateful to the team at Rathsallagh for making our Wedding Day so amazing, enjoyable and special.

Outstanding location, top quality service and fantastic food, we would highly recommend Rathsallagh House for your wedding enjoyed every second , Catherine and Benni and staff were brilliant ???? 5 stars from us.

Catherine, Joe and the entire team at Rathsallagh were simply brilliant from start to finish with our wedding process. Thank you so, so much for the incredible job you all did for our wedding in June 2023.

Our guests have been raving to us all weekend about how beautiful Rathsallagh was, the amazing food, the wonderful staff, Kelly, Shana, Rose and Avril, to mention but a few, if I had all the names of staff who helped us this email would go on for a very long time! Please pass on our huge thanks to everyone who helped us.

Rathsallagh were so professional on the day but managed to make the entire day feel so friendly and comfortable and that was greatly appreciated by our guests. It really helped to set the scene for the unbelievable day and night we had. The grounds were commended by many of our guests and we had a lot of people tell us that the venue was simply "amazing". The food was absolutely to drawer and everyone said it was some of the best they ever had at any wedding, ever! Well done Rathsallagh!

The team at Rathsallagh were amazing. Always responding to our queries quickly. On the day, they were brilliant, we didn't have to worry about anything.

Rathsallagh House made us feel so welcome from the very first phone call we made re our Wedding. Catherine was just wonderful to deal with. Our Guests had a wonderful day and Rathsallagh helped us achieve our absolute dream day. We cannot speak highly enough of Joe O Flynn, Catherine and the whole team.

Staff we brilliant all the way through, from the run up to the wedding, the day and day two. Everyone mentioned how great the venue and staff were

Can't believe it's all over, but we had the best wedding day on the 18th February in Rathsallagh House! The venue itself is so gorgeous I can't even explain it. From the second drove through the gates we already knew that this was where we wanted to get married.

The communication from start to finish was amazing. They are such a professional outfit that clearly know what they are doing.

The number of compliments we got about the venue, staff, food and level of service on the day and since then is honestly unbelievable. Without a doubt the best steak I've ever eaten!

We couldn't recommend this beautiful venue and family of staff more!

My husband Sean and I got married in Rathsallagh House on NYE and had the most wonderful weekend. We organised our wedding from abroad and found the staff of Rathsallagh very helpful and approachable via email. On the weekend itself, the team at Rathsallagh were warm, friendly, efficient and on the ball at every step. No request was too much for them, they made us feel like a prince and princess all weekend, and we felt as though they shared in our joy throughout the couple of days. Thank you to Joe, Catherine and all of the team for truly giving us a weekend to remember.

We got married in Rathsallagh on 17 December later year, having both our ceremony and reception there and I honestly could not recommend it enough!

The day we went to view Rathsallagh, we knew it was the place where we wanted to get married. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning.. and as we got married just before Christmas, it was so beautifully decorated on the day. To have the place exclusively to us and our guests on the day too was just so special.

We can’t speak highly enough of the staff either - in the planning and lead up to the wedding, everyone we dealt with was so accomodating and helpful especially Olivia and Amy. They took all the stress out of planning the day and made it so enjoyable! On the day itself, the staff were incredible - from the moment we arrived at the venue until we checked out the next day, they couldn’t do enough for us or our guests.

The food was outstanding too - we had so many compliments from guests on the night and in the time since. So many people told us it was the best beef they’ve ever had.It was hands down the best food we have ever had at a wedding.

We honestly had the best day and experience with Rathsallagh and would recommend it as a wedding venue to anyone. We just wish we could go back and do it all again!!!

From the moment I got to Rathsallagh the staff could not do enough for me, i didn't have to lift a finger for anything. Any little thing I was worried about having to do on the day Oliva already had it done for me. She was brilliant, anything we asked her to have ready pre wedding date she had done. Every member of staff we met before or on the day were so friendly and helpful and not just to the wedding party but every guest that came with us. One thing that can not be over looked is the food! everything was cooked to perfection! From starters to dessert, every course nicer than the last. The rooms are huge and so warm and comfortable its only a pity we didn't get to spend more time in them. Even at check out nobody was being rushed. They really made us feel like it was our house for the night, I would highly recommend Rathsallagh. Perfect from start to finish!

We had a fabulous relaxed day in Rathsallagh where nothing was a problem. We both got ready on site and it was well worth it. The bridal room has absolutely everything a bridal party needs including prosecco, a light breakfast and lunch. There was plenty of space for 5 of us to get ready and for my dad to sit and relax with a coffee. The venue itself is so aesthetically pleasing with photo opportunities at every corner. We had a wet day but it didn't matter. I particularly loved the sitting rooms for group photos as it provides a relaxed, more intimate group shot.
The place was cosy with fires lit and we enjoyed delivering our speeches as husband and wife by the fire before we went to dinner. The food was AMAZING with lots of our guests saying it was the nicest meal they ever had. The staff were helpful and accommodating and nothing was a problem. The rooms and lodges were also a hit with the guests. I could not recommend Rathsallagh Country House enough. We had the best day from start to finish.

Rathsallagh is the ultimate dream venue for a wedding with its picturesque romantic setting to the amazing staff on site. From the very beginning of the tour of the venue with Stephen we just knew Rathsallagh was the one for us, the house, the reception, the guest rooms - all stunning. From the initial booking of the wedding to the confirmation of the finer details on the lead up was done with ease with the team, any amount of questions was never an issue and they always responded so professionally and quickly. The reservation staff went above and beyond in helping ensure our guests staying were allocated rooms suitable for their requirements and even with a few changes we had to make to rooms it was never an issue and done seamlessly. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding back in 2021 due to covid and the team were so understanding and so helpful through the whole process of selecting another date in 2022. On the big day a very thoughtful text message was sent to both myself and husband from the team saying how much they were looking forward to celebration which is a lovely touch. When we arrived we were treated like family to big hugs and smiles from all the staff and it just gave it a lovely warm atmosphere to the day. Everyone that attended had the same thing to say about how friendly & helpful the staff were, how stunning the house & guest rooms were also. The food on the day was absolutely amazing, could not be faulted with plenty to go around. Again thank you to the whole team at Rathsallagh for given us the wedding of our dreams.

Rathsallagh is an absolutely amazing venue and we cannot speak more highly of the entire team there. From start to finish they were extremely friendly, accommodating and available to discuss anything we needed during our wedding experience with them. The food was fantastic along with all the staff who worked on both days of our wedding weekend. So many of our guests commented on both of these which was great for us to hear. We could not recommend Rathsallagh as a wedding venue highly enough and look forward to going back one day soon as guests. Thank you all very much, Charlene and Ronan.

The staff were very friendly and helpful in the build up and the day itself. They were very accomodating to our wishes, for example the speeches outside on the lawn before dinner. The food was fabulous and our guests are still talking about it and the lovely rooms 3 weeks later! We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend.

Rathsallagh provided us with the most amazing wedding day. From start to finish we could not fault them. During covid we decided to push out our wedding date and the team at rathsallagh could not have been more accomadating to us. Since our big day our family and friends have not stopped saying how great of a day it was and it is all thanks to the staff at Rathsallagh.
Great venue, great food, great staff. You need no more

We cannot recommend Rathsallagh House enough to any couples looking for their perfect wedding venue. We got married on 18th August 2022 and had our day 2 BBQ there on 19th August and everything from start to finish was absolutely fantastic. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was (especially the beef on the wedding day and the pig on the spit for day 2 - unbelievable!) Our guests were also delighted with the extra portions of food offered and the gorgeous wine. The staff could not be more friendly and welcoming to all our family and friends and they really created such a warm and relaxing atmosphere that set the tone for our wedding. We had 180 guests and the Pavillion was the perfect setting. We also had our ceremony in the granary which was beautiful and our guests commented what a great space it was for the ceremony and loved how they could walk straight into the drinks reception. My bridal party got ready at Rathsallagh on the morning of the wedding, the bridal prep room is stunning and breakfast and light lunch provided was delicious. The grounds are beautiful and there are so many places to get photographs. We cannot recommend Rathsallagh enough as an amazing wedding venue - I just wish we could do it all again!

100/10 - exceeded our expectations in every way. All our family and friends raved about the venue, the food, the setting, the rooms and the STAFF - the most attentive and professional staff that went above and beyond for us!
Special diets were catered for beyond expectation - gluten free goujons and sausages brought out with evening meal.
The absolute best day!

From the first video call with Joe in June 2020 we fell in love with Rathsallagh House! Neither of us had attended a wedding in the venue before but we had been highly recommended Rathsallagh House when we mentioned to people that we were thinking of looking there. Joe, Catherine, Stephen, Benny and everyone that we dealt with while planning our wedding from Switzerland and throughout the pandemic were wonderful. The Rathsallagh teams (wedding, reception, reservation, food, bar - everyone) are so professional and amazing at what they do. Jade and Katie looked after us and the entire wedding party once we arrived and we can’t thank them enough! Rathsallagh House felt like our and our guests home for the wedding. Our guests are still talking about the venue, the food, the staff and the wonderful hospitality. We can’t recommend Rathsallagh House and the team enough and we will be always grateful for them for their huge part in our fantastic day! I only wish we could do it all again! Lorna and Francis

We could not recommend Rathsallagh enough. We had our wedding there on the 07.07.22. Everything from venue, food, staff they were amazing. Nothing was too big or small. We had an absolute ball on our wedding day as did our guests. Our guests are still talking about the food.

Rathsallagh was a perfect choice for our wedding day on June 6th, we loved every minute of our day. The grounds were a beautiful backdrop for our photos and outdoor ceremony. The food was delicious, all our guests were raving about it. They especially loved that they brought around seconds and that the fillet steaks were all cooked to order. The lemon tart dessert was out of this world! A few guests mentioned it was the nicest dessert they'd ever had. The staff on the day were so attentive and we didn't worry about a thing. The pavilion looked magical with the greenery and fairy lights decorating the ceiling. The accommodation was lovely, each room is unique and just gorgeous. The breakfast the following morning was a real highlight also. Our guests, and ourselves included, were very impressed with the delicious spread and wide-ranging options for breakfast. The resident's bar was another highlight which kept the party going until late. Thank you to the entire team at Rathsallagh for a fantastic day.

Our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. The staff at Rathsallagh could not have been more helpful and caring on the day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing everything was amazing! The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful, so picturesque. We had the most incredible day thanks to Joe, Olivia and Benny. Everything exceeded our expectations and that of the guests. Thank you!

We had an amazing day in Rathsallagh. The staff were so helpful - all of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was, how delicious the food was and how helpful and friendly everyone was. We were lucky enough to have a sunny and dry day so we had our ceremony in the secret garden - it was stunning. The rooms are beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better service - I am dying to return as a guest to another wedding to experience it all again!

Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more, in no small part due to the exceptional organisation and dedication to high quality service at Rathsallagh House.

We were really impressed by every aspect of the wedding preparation (including two postponements due to Covid restrictions). The Wedding Team were very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions we had in the lead-up ensuring there was no stress.

We also felt very at ease on the day thanks to the great communication and attention to detail from the wedding team.

Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the flow of the day and that they were never hungry or thirsty and really enjoyed the quality of the food and wine that was served.
Several of our guests have been in touch again since to reiterate these compliments and express just how good a venue Rathsallagh House is for weddings.

As we had a Civil ceremony and photography on site, Rathsallagh was the complete package for us and we have absolutely no regrets. It meant that once we and our guests arrived, we were taken care of and could relax for the day, which was exactly what we were aiming for. It also meant that we got to spend as much time as possible with our guests and the intimacy of Rathsallagh House as a private venue is perfect for this reason.

Our guests that stayed the night were delighted with the spacious rooms and raved about the breakfast the following morning!

Suffice to say the wedding team certainly did their best for us and we and our guests enjoyed our Wedding Day at Rathsallagh House immensely.

We would happily recommend Rathsallagh House as the ideal wedding venue.

Due to my background in hospitality, I was very specific on some things for my wedding and Rathsallagh were so accommodating on everything we wanted and never made me feel like I was being a bridezilla even though I'm sure at times I probably was. The day ran so smooth and I literally could not pick one fault. Everybody we encountered was lovely and helpful and we are just so happy we chose Rathsallagh for our day and all our guests loved it also.

On behalf of me and my new bride we would like to thank Joe, Catherine and the wonderful team at Rathsallagh House for making our day so incredible. We booked from overseas during the pandemic and we couldn't have been made more comfortable by the team who helped in every way possible. The entire day was beautifully laid out and taken care of allowing us to enjoy the day. The service was beyond excellent and we were so impressed with the hospitality of the team and the food was beautiful along with the layout of the main room! We couldn't of been happier with everything that Rathsallagh had to offer and would recommend it to any couple looking for their amazing day!

Rathsallagh House was simply practically perfect in every way. They went above and beyond what we expected and we felt we were treated like VIPs. Nothing we suggested was denied, if they thought of an alternative way it was discussed and sorted. Catherine took care of us on the day, she was absolutely superb and Stephen was always at hand to help, and has a great manner about him. Could not recommend Rathsallagh House enough...don't delay, have a viewing, you won't be disappointed.

Rathsallagh is simply stunning the venue and grounds are beautiful.
The staff were amazing I couldn’t fault anyone they were so attentive.
The food was like 10/10 if I could give higher I would .
Overall I would recommend to a friend and can’t wait to return again .

Barry's sister got married at Rathsallagh House 9 years ago and had such an amazing day they recommended it to us - we chose it because of the renowned quality of the hospitality and food, the beautiful house and grounds; and the fact that it's full of character and feels so homely and personal (which was apparent even with a virtual viewing). Rathsallagh more than exceeded our expectations. The venue was exceptional, especially for a Christmas wedding when the grounds and house feel extraordinarily festive and magical. The food and hospitality were outstanding, our guests were constantly raving about both. Some commented that they have been to 5-star hotels and the service/food was better at Rathsallagh. The most important thing Rathsallagh did for us was to ensure that it felt as “normal” as possible for us during Covid times and that it was everything we wanted from our wedding weekend. To this end, they were extremely flexible during the organisation.
Catherine at Rathsallagh was exceptional throughout our wedding planning and made sure that we enjoyed the wedding day we hoped for. She was constantly in contact with us and was helpful and calm, which really helped our stress levels when restrictions kept changing. We know she was under a lot of pressure as she had numerous couples to work with during the run-up to our wedding, but she never took her eye off the ball. She is an outstanding wedding coordinator - flexible, committed, solutions-focussed, and a lovely person who genuinely cares about the couples she works with. A sign of her commitment is that she worked the day of our wedding even though she was meant to be on a day off. She was 100% "on it" on the day, making sure that everything went off without a hitch and everyone had what they needed (mainly Champagne) - it was faultless. An incredible bit of commitment that shows she is willing to go “above-and-beyond” for the couples she works with. Thank you so much.

We cannot recommend Rathsallagh enough, joe was very welcoming on the day we visited and we just loved everything about it and booked it on the day. We dealt with stephen for most of the year while planning went ahead. Stephen was quick and responsive always on the other end of the phone and nothing was a problem. The girls in reception and accommodation were amazing while we allocated guests to rooms in the house the week before. The venue is yours for the day and everyone really makes you feel welcome and at home. We used the dressing room to get ready that morning and we had a lovely breakfast and champagne and lots of refreshments, they have a beautiful cozy bright room for your wedding party to get ready in which was definitely a highlight for us girls. Food was delicious and all our guests commented on how lovely their rooms were and how tasty the crispy pork belly was. Venue and food were our most important factor and Rathsallagh exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect

We will be forever thankful that we chose Rathsallagh House as the venue for our wedding in September 2021. The house, the food and the atmosphere were all perfect and it genuinely felt like our home for the two days.
Having read the reviews and visited the venue on a few occasions prior to our reception, we knew it was going to be of a very high standard, but as the weekend unfolded our expectations were exceeded time and again.
Since the wedding, friends and family have been genuinely glowing in their praise of the venue and we know everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Even though we had to reschedule three times and they had to close their doors during the pandemic, they could not have been more helpful and understanding.
Finally, you can rest assured that if you do choose Rathsallagh House as your wedding venue, you are in the most capable of hands with Joe, Catherine, Stephen and all the team. They know exactly what it takes to make a wedding work. Forever thankful for the amazing memories, Aisling & Dave Sherry.

Rathsallagh was the perfect venue for us. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but the team there was so helpful and responsive every step of the way. The most important thing to us was to feel relaxed and be able to fully enjoy our wedding day, and they made that possible. Every part of the day went smoothly - starting with the wonderful dressing room that they had prepared with breakfast foods for the girls. Onto our 'first look' photos before we left for the church ceremony, and back to Rathsallagh for the reception in their lovely garden complete with canapes and garden games, and finally a delicious dinner (kudos to the chefs because it's not easy to serve 100 people at once and have the food still be delicious!). Our wedding coordinator checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we kept our timing and prompt us whenever it was time for the next thing - e.g. call for dinner, speeches, cake cutting, first dance. Really cannot recommend Rathsallagh enough if you're looking for a wedding venue. Beautiful grounds, great food, and lovely people.

The team at Rathsallagh hands down gave us the best weekend of our lives. From meeting Catherine originally, dealing with Stephen and Joe on the run up, Mary on the day and Willie that evening- each and every member of staff was just as kind, helpful and accommodating as the next. Nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely everything exceeded our expectations, the food, the rooms, the grounds and the level of hospitality experienced by us and our guests was second to none. We both felt so relaxed and at ease the entire weekend knowing the team had absolutely everything covered. All the fears and uncertainty we had during the run up disappeared the moment we arrived at Rathsallagh on the morning of our wedding. We knew we were in the best of hands and it ended up being everything we could have hoped for and more. Six weeks on and we are still floating and not quite over how incredible it was! Rathsallagh is an incredibly special place and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We simply cannot thank the team at Rathsallagh enough. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

As Mother of the Bride I would have high expectations for the Special Day of my daughter. To say there were exceeded is no exageration. The care and attention, kindness and brilliantly well organised event was wonderful and I (and all my family) have been given a very precious memory to store in our hearts forever. From the moment of our arrival it was seamless. What also stood out were the staff whose calmness never wavered once with all the usual last minute requests. I would single out Catherine, whose unflappable care and efficiency was evident throughout the day and the next day as well. Rathsallagh hosted my daughter Helen's wedding with still many restrictions in place and yet we felt no stress, only happiness at being guided by steady hands whose satisfaction was knowing that they had done everything possible to ensure a successful day.

We recently got married at Rathsallagh House. It was our 3rd date due to covid and Rathsallagh were so helpful and flexible throughout. They accommodated us any way they could and it made the day extremely easy. It was like a monsoon so our plans to marry outdoors and for photos outdoors were scuppered but Rathsallaghs indoor options were amazing and were even nicer. All staff were so professional and polite and the food was amazing. All our guests were blown away by their rooms and the service. I can't speak highly enough of the place and the staff. Particularly Catherine and Stephen who were amazing throughout. We will definitely be going back for lunches and dinners whenever we get the chance.

We had our whole wedding day at Rathsallagh from getting ready that morning in the beauty room, to saying I do in the ceremony room and then on to dinner. The service was outstanding. We had the best day of our lives and would love to relive everything. It was the most chilled day, I didn’t have to think about anything on the day because Stephen, Mary and team where on hand for every little thing from the minute we started planning two years ago until now. I can’t recommend Rathsallagh enough!

We moved our wedding to Rathsallagh House due to having issues with our original wedding venue around price due to having a smaller wedding (due to Covid) - and it was the best thing that ever happened to us! Rathsallagh House is more than just a hotel - you are made feel at home the moment you arrive. The service at this place is absolutely outstanding - every single one of their staff members are absolutely amazing - they genuinely couldn't do enough for us! They have something really special here - do not pass this place when looking for a wedding venue. We had the most amazing weekend - our guests are still raving about the place, the service, the food, the grounds!
If we could give them 20/5 stars, we would!
Massive thank you to Catherine, Stephen & Joe - and the rest of the super team at Rathsallagh House - you are outstanding!

You can have the best wedding ever in COVID in Rathsallagh. In all my years of staying and going to weddings Rathsallagh pulled out all the stops for my wedding. All my guests 25 including the dog Alife ring bearer had Rathsallagh exclusively to ourselves. We had a fun filled relaxing time with absolutely amazing food. The level of hygiene and staff response to all our needs was second to none. All the staff couldn’t do enough for us. This venue is a very special place if your thinking of getting married don’t rule this place out you get more than what you pay for and you don’t realise it until you experience it. The first thing Rathsallagh said to me when I arrived “this house is now your home” what hotel gives you that type of service. We got married in their purpose built chapel AMAZING and the owner was so involved in our day he pulled up in his land rover and drove me over to the chapel. I felt on my day I had a second family there. Rathsallagh Joe, Catherine and their team. All I can say is thanks from the bottom of my heart for the professional, caring and relaxing very nervous guests with Covid to allow all of us to have the most special day

We had viewed a number of venues but as soon as we arrived in Rathsallagh we knew it was where we would get married. The food, fires, staff, Granary (ceremony room), decor, the high level of cleanliness all set it above anywhere else we had viewed. Having the house to ourselves for our wedding day made it so special too.


We got married in December 2020. We were meant to get married in June 2020 but couldn't because of national restrictions. So really we planned a summer and winter wedding. It's the best venue for both. The gardens are amazing in the summer and then the big log fires and cozy feel in the winter make it the best venue whatever the season.

As COVID-19 national restrictions changed throughout the year, we were kept well informed by regular email updates from Joe. Stephen went above and beyond answering any questions we had and sorting whatever needed to be done too.


We all had the best day in December. Our guests are still contacting us about what a great day they had. Thanks so much Stephen, Jonathan, Martha, Shane and everyone in Rathsallagh for everything.

From the moment we viewed Rathsallagh we had an instant warm feeling and knew we wanted to get married here. Due to Covid 19 we had to postpone our original date and the support and guidance the team at Rathsallagh offered was much appreciated. Their help and advice was much needed during the uncertainty this year and even prior to Covid their support was brilliant. We had the best day and wouldn't change anything now looking back. All our guests commented on the venue and especially the staff. Everyone in Rathsallagh was so helpful and accommodating they couldn't have done more. Even though our original date was in Summer we felt Rathsallagh was also the perfect venue for a Winter wedding due to the picturesque grounds.

The wedding team, Stephen, Catherine, Gillian and of course Joe are absolute dreams to work with whose experience is a calming reassurance.

We look forward to returning and staying again.

We attended a wedding at Rathsallagh Country House in 2016 and the venue left a very strong impression with us.When the search started for a venue for our wedding day, Rathsallagh was on the top of our list and outshone all other venues we visited. Through all the uncertainty surrounding the build up, the team at Rathsallagh were a constant source of calm and understanding, keeping us up to date regarding all changes in Covid19 restrictions and what implications this could have on our day. On the day itself, everything went off without a hitch. The reception, food and service provided from the staff could not be faulted. The venue itself was immaculate with the walled garden a big hit amongst our guests. It was the perfect venue for a small wedding with dinner served in the main house, with the fires setting a beautiful backdrop for the meal. There is not one negative word to be said about the staff, food or venue, with a more picturesque setting very difficult to be found. We will certainly be returning again and could not recommend Rathsallagh Country House more highly.

We originally reached out to Rathsallagh whilst still on holidays after getting engaged. Joe was so responsive and helpful in his replies that it immediately put Rathsallagh at the forefront of our possible venues.
We viewed three venues but knew as soon as we walked around Rathsallagh that it was the one. Catherine was so friendly that day and we loved the relaxed vibe of Rathsallagh. Catherine noticed we had our dog in the car and told us we could bring her around with us. It made the experience all the more personable. The kennels at Rathsallagh were also a big selling point for us.
We were originally due to get married in April of 2020 but had to postpone to August 2020. Guidelines changed again the week of the wedding which put a further spanner in the works. Joe and Stephen were so understanding and flexible throughout all of this.
We managed to have some good luck with sunshine on the wedding day and Stephen suggested that we hold the ceremony outside. We had never thought about that before and are so happy now that Stephen suggested this. Getting married under the oak tree in Rathsallagh is definitely a memory we will treasure.
The attention to detail in Rathsallagh is second to none and the meal and service were both flawless. Rathsallagh really feels like a second home so much so that we stayed the night before the wedding and the night after and were still sad to leave!
We could not recommend Rathsallagh enough and we look forward to many more stays there in the future.

Would highly rate Rathsallagh as a wedding venue. Our whole day was just perfect and ran smoothly which is all down to the brilliant friendly staff at Rathsallagh. Catherine, Gillian and all the wedding coordinating team were amazing to deal with and we couldn’t rate them highly enough. Thanks guys for everything!

We had the most amazing wedding day in Rathsallagh House on the 28th December. The service provided by the team there was nothing short of outstanding.
From the moment we first visited Rathsallagh as a potential wedding venue, we loved the overall feel of the place - the house is so homely and inviting, set in really beautiful surroundings. That, along with Catherine’s extremely warm welcome, and we were sold in no time at all! Throughout all of the preparations, Catherine and the wedding team were fantastic, we felt so looked after from start to finish, and as if nothing was too much trouble. We cannot praise the team enough.
The wedding day itself could not have run more smoothly - from preparations to First Look to ceremony and so on, the Rathsallagh team had every single detail in hand and coordinated everything perfectly. The food was superb - That, alongside the outstanding service, and of course the beautiful venue, was commented on by so many of our guests.
We couldn't possibly have enjoyed our wedding day any more than we did, and we put that down to the quality of the service provided by Rathsallagh. We're looking forward to staying there again, and reliving the wonderful memories from our wedding day.

Nothing was ever a problem to Stephen & his team

Food was delicious

Very hospitable & warm staff

We got married in Rathsallagh on 10th of November 2019. It was fantastic from start to finish. From our initial viewing where it was relaxed and very personal to the wedding itself where it was catered 100% to our liking. They were very flexible when it came to choosing from their weekend and weekday menus. The menu tasting again was very flexible. They allowed additional courses to give us a fully informed decision. They have 2 buildings on site to get married depending on your numbers. Throughout our planning, they were in touch with us, giving us feedback, making sure we were staying on course and answering any questions we had very quickly. Catherine was a fantastic person to liaise with throughout our planning. While all the team were extremely knowledgeable, you could tell Catherine had a passion for what she does and has a great deal of experience in wedding planning. She was a pure delight. They have a wedding agenda which seems to be exclusively used by Rathsallagh. It is an all encompassing document that does take a little while to fill out but when once done it is a great help. It covers every aspects of your wedding: contact numbers for vendors, dietary requirements for guests, a list of best man duties, list of items brought rhay you want to take home and more. They laid out everything in the agenda so when the day came, there was nothing to worry about.
The setting itself is a masterpiece. The house is lovely the rooms are more than spacious, the grounds are stunning to walk around and for pictures, the Pavillion is wonderful for the dinner and the party and food is way beyond what you would expect. It is such a high standard, none of our guests had anything bad to say about any of the food. And they had nothing bad to say about anything to do with Rathsallagh. Something that was mentioned by many guests was the fact that we were the only ones there. We didn't need to share it with any other event or wedding etc like a standard hotel. We would happily recommend this to any of our friends getting married and would love to attend it as a guest just to experience it again. 10 out of 10 cannot recommend it enough

We had our wedding at Rathsallagh recently. It was fantastic and all the staff at Rathsallagh worked to make it a great day for us. We’ve had so many comments from our guests about how great the food, the rooms and just the venue overall was. All the coordinators we dealt with before the day were lovely to work with. On the day itself our coordinator Stephen was so terrific, looked after us so well and helped it all run so calmly and smoothly.

We had the most amazing Wedding day in Rathsallagh House. The staff could not have done more for us on the day. Joe welcomed us to Rathsallagh to let us know the house was ours for the day; and we really felt like it was. The food overall was amazing, beef cooked to perfection for 180 people. Everything ran perfectly to time. We had the most perfect day, and it was all thanks to the wonderful co-ordination team at Rathsallagh House. Thanks for everything! All we can say is that everyone should have their wedding reception in Rathsallagh!

To all of the staff at Rathsallagh, we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives! We have been in contact since July 2018 and any query we had, any email sent, any request asked , you were absolutely fantastic at getting back to us and providing us with upmost service. It was so lovely to see it all come together on Friday, the venue is magnificent, the food was absolutely exquisite and the staff were nothing but amazing to deal with! Even our cake supplier commented on how hospitable Jonathan was when she dropped off our cake that morning. Honestly I would have no hesitation in telling anyone planning their wedding to book Rathsallagh House for their venue. You are a special bunch of people and we hope to see you in the new year when we visit again!

To say our wedding day went seamless is an understatement. The team at Rathsallagh are amazing. Everyone raved about the food, it was absolutely delicious.
We have a 7month old daughter and the team helped us so much ensuring all her items were put in the room and babysitter was looked after as well.
I could go forever about how good Rathsallagh as a venue is, Joe and all the team are so lovely to deal with and so accommodating.

I can't fault Rathsallagh in any way. They were so attentive to myself and m wife over the 2 days we had there and always made us feel at ease. Everything seemed to run effortlessly which shows their organisation and it made our time were even more enjoyable. I would strongly recommend having a wedding reception there to anyone that asks me while still wanting to keep the place special for ourselves(fine line). We had 12 bottles of wine left after our wedding day for Day 2 and they said they would throw in 2 more for us. I thought this was such a kind and unexpected gesture though I can't say they will do that for everyone. Fantastic venue!

There really is not enough positive things to say about Rathsallagh in terms of Venue and the entire team behind it all. During the build up to our wedding we did not come across a single staff member who was not fantastic. The venue itself is flawless but I really feel it is the staff who make it so special. From Joe right through they were all so helpful and made the weekend what it was. We had high expectations and Rathsallagh blew them away and gave us a wedding we could only have wished for. The best thing to describe what its like is that even though they have a number of weddings a week they make you feel like you may be the only wedding that is on that year. An amazing place which we could not reccomened highy enough. Our guests all made comments on how great they found the venue from the amazing bedrooms, the grounds and all staff members. 5 Star.

I don't even know where to start on a review of Rathsallagh House. We viewed four possible venues for our wedding and googled and emailed many more. From the minute we arrived and drove up the beautiful driveway, we got the wow factor (that our guests have been saying they got too!). When we met Julie, she was so lovely and was so easy to deal with. Throughout the planning process, everyone in Rathsallagh was amazing, particularly Joe, Julie, Sinead & Rosie. From arrival on the day before our wedding to leaving the day after, we were made to feel like the only brides in the world! Catherine was amazing and Stephen looked after getting me to the ceremony and Julie the same for Claire, without us seeing each other! The ceremony was in their beautiful Granary and everything about the day was magical. It is a truly stunning place, the bedrooms are fab and our guests raved about the luxury, the grounds are out of this world, complete with fairy lights everywhere but the stand out part of the day was the food. I can't say enough about it, it was unreal, I have never had such a good meal at a wedding and our guests were blown away. I couldn't recommend Rathsallagh House enough, the staff and venue made our day and I wouldn't change one single thing about it.

All the staff in Rathsallagh were most helpful throughout the whole planning process and also throughout our wedding weekend. All our guests have commented on what a spectacular venue Rathsallagh is and how great the food was over the two days we had down in Rathsallagh. We are so glad that we chose Rathsallagh as our venue and we would thoroughly recommend it as a wedding venue.

Perfect! So professional from start to finish. Made for a very relaxing wedding.

The wedding was even better than I could ever have imagined. The team at Rathsallagh were absolutely amazing!

The guests were wowed by the beauty of the grounds of the venue, our guests commented on how lovely everyone was, how well looked after they were and how utterly delicious the food was.

Catherine was an absolute star throughout the day. So calming and reassuring, and so in control of everything. She really put my nervous mind to rest from the minute I arrived and I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about anything for the rest of the day.

I honestly don’t have the words to convey my gratitude to everyone for all the hard work. It was just absolutely wonderful and we both have the most amazing memories of the day.

Beautiful venue

We had an absolutely amazing day in Rathsallagh House and it would not have been possible without the help of the exceptional Catherine and Gillian as well as the rest of the fantastic staff. The attention that we received as bride and groom was incredible. All of our guests were full of praise for the venue itself as well as the food and wine. Lastly, the Granary, where our ceremony was held was just gorgeous.
This was a truly magical day for us and Rathsallagh helped make it as special as it was. We could not recommend Rathsallagh highly enough.

We celebrated our wedding day in Rathsallagh in February and we cannot recommend it enough. The staff went above and beyond for us on the day, in particular Stephen who was on hand throughout. Our guests had an amazing day, delighted with their unique bedrooms and fabulous food. The unique setting and intimate nature of the house sold it to us on our first visit and it reached beyond expectation on the day.

Our Rathsallagh wedding was magical. We were certain we'd enjoy our wedding but it surpassed our every dream.

The staff were all so utterly thoughtful, considerate and polite to both us and every guest. We were treated like king and queen. The guests really appreciated how at home they felt and it created such a happy, relaxed ambiance the whole weekend.

During the lead up to the wedding people would ask 'are you stressed?` And we'd reply no but its because of Rathsallagh. They said yes to every single request, big and small, and that was so appreciated by us. We are so grateful we had the good sense to choose Rathsallagh.

When we met Catherine, one of 3 wedding planners who work together seemlessly, we were blown away, we knew we were in good hands and she made it clear she would ensure our day was perfect. Catherine is exceptional at her job.

Stephen and Tomas who were with us through the wedding days were so pleasant, helpful and friendly. They would ensure any request was met.

Rosie in reservations, dealt with hundreds of requests from me to hold a room, cancel a room, swap a room etc. She always got back to me with a solution like it was no big deal. It made it completely stress free.

Our French crowd were blown away by everything - the location, the house, the wine, the food, the staff. And we all know the French think they've the best food and wine!!

Both our families had such a wonderful time and it gave us the perfect opportunity to spend time with both families which is so rare for us.

We are so, so grateful for everything.


We will keep our special memories with us forever. A great start to our marriage.

We got married in Rathsallagh in November and would not hesitate to recommend them to other couples. From the moment we viewed wedding venues, it was apparent that they had an attention to detail that no where else came close to. The place was in perfect condition on the day and we had a number of guests comment to us on the level of attention they received from staff on the day as well as on the quality of the food. We were very impressed with their ability to react on the day (e.g. putting food aside for guests whose car broke down, finding my handbag when I mislaid it). It was a great comfort to know that our guests were being well taken care of, while at the same time the setting and the homeliness of the place added a level of magic to our own experience. Thankyou to the team at Rathsallagh for their kindness and professionalism.

Rathsallagh was an absolute pleasure to work with and if we were to do our day all over again we would 100% absolutely pick Rathsallagh again. We couldn’t fault anything the food was amazing as we knew it would be, the service was absolutely superb and the venue is absolutely gorgeous. We got so many compliments on how good the wine was and we were told there was plenty being poured, Rathsallagh are so professional at running their weddings, they are so organised and makes the the day so relaxed for the bride and groom as you don’t have to worry about a thing. As a venue it’s just so cosy and relaxed we had an Autumn wedding and was a really cold day so the little rooms and open fires were so toasty and homely for our guests. Nothing was ever an issue for Rathsallagh wedding coordinators and staff, I had lots of my own wedding decor bits to be put out and everything was put out so nicely and professional looking. We really did have the most amazing wedding day and would highly recommend Rathsallagh to future wedding couples.

There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for the incredible service we received during our wedding day.

From the moment we first viewed Rathsallagh we knew it was the venue for us. All the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to create such a magical day for us. From the wedding team Catherine, Julie and Gillian who answered hundreds of emails from us and planned every single detail of our day perfectly. To the waiting staff at the tasting who were so friendly and offered us loads of advice and of course Joe who gave us a lovely welcome at the tasting and again on the big day.

On the day itself everything went perfectly and this is thanks to the wonderful organisation skills of the team at Rathsallagh. The bar and waiting staff were extremely professional but super friendly creating a relaxed atmosphere which was so important to us. All our guests commented on how amazing the staff were.
The food was superb and the chef catered to all the weird and wonderful dietary requirements some of which were a surprise on the day but this was no problem for Rathsallagh.
The table settings were exactly what we had asked for and the team set it all up for us, we didn’t have to lift a finger. And if we weren’t already extremely impressed when we went to pack up all our stuff the next morning it had already been done. Everything was neatly packed away and waiting for us in reception. This was an unbelievably nice touch especially as you can imagine we were fairly tired the next morning!

If there was any problems on the day we certainly didn't hear about them and that’s the sign of pure professionalism.

We would like to say a special thank you to Julie. Julie showed us around Rathsallagh that first day and helped us with every single detail there after. Nothing was too big or too small she even remembered details about the wedding we had suggested that we had actually forgot about!! I was so glad to see her on the day as not only is she incredibly professional and organised she is so lovely and fun it was like having a friend looking after us for the day! We would also like to thank Stephen the duty manger. We had never met Stephen before the day but that didn’t matter he made us feel so comfortable straight away and we felt we were in great hands with him. Everything ran like clock work. Weddings are stressful and there is a lot going on but with Julie and Stephen we didn’t have to worry about a thing and for that we are so grateful. It wouldn’t have been the same without them.

We woukd definitely recommend Rathsallagh to everybody and we look forward to returning ourselves soon!

Thanks again for helping us with the best day of our lives!


Claire and Rob 19/10/18

The only words I can use to describe Rathsallagh house as a wedding venue are ‘absolutely amazing’. The venue itself is beautiful and has a worldly charm and family feel. The grounds are beautiful and all the lights everywhere make it look magical at night. From the first time we spoke to Joe, we knew rathsallagh was the venue for us, everything was so personal and the staff really take an interest in your wedding. The wedding coordinators are amazing, attentive and very professional. Nothing was too much and all our requests were actioned, even down to the small details. The food was Michelin star standard, every course was fantastic and all our guests are still talking about how amazing the food and wine were.
If you are looking for an exclusive venue that has that country style feel and want to be made feel like you are the only wedding they are dealing with, then rathsallagh is the venue for you. I can not recommend this venue enough, it made our wedding magical and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Magical from start to finish. We had our wedding reception and second day here in Sep. 2018 and it was truly the best day of our lives. From the minute we viewed Rathsallagh and got our initial tour from Gillian we knew this place was the one for us. It gave us all the feels-homely, friendly, beautiful, professional, unique and perfect for us.

We can’t say enough about all the people we dealt with throughout the planning. No question or request (especially last minute!) was any trouble and the professionalism, work ethic, genuine care and thoughtfulness of Gillian, Catherine and Julie put us at such ease. Thank you so much for all you did.

Gillian was with us on the day and again she was brilliant, as were all the staff at our reception and over the weekend. It was great to have a familiar face that had looked after us so well all through the planning and then on the day as well.

Stephen took over running the reception from Gillian later in the day, and was equally as kind and helpful as Gillian and all of the staff at Rathsallagh. He looked after us fantastically.

Thank you to all the bar and serving staff, especially Charlie, the reception staff, room staff and Joe and Kay O’Flynn. In particular Kay and Charlie,and another young man whose name escapes us, were a great help when one of our relations took ill in the middle of the night, thank you so much.

We obviously had great confidence and hopes that everything would go really well but on the day, and over the weekend, Rathsallagh massively exceeded our expectations. All our guests were blown away by how amazing and special the venue was. We got so many wonderful comments about the food (reception & second day bbq), the grounds, how nice the staff were and the beautiful bedrooms.

We’re trying here, but really cannot put into words how grateful we are to Rathsallagh for everything they done over the course of planning the wedding, the day of the reception, and the day after as well. Thank you all again.

I think you probably get it by now but this place REALLY IS MAGICAL!

Great hotel! Absolutely loved the room, the staff was professional, and the value for what you are getting cannot be beat.

We were delighted with our wedding at Rathsallagh, it was absolutely wonderful!

We found Catherine, Gillian, Julie & Rosie so easy to deal with and they were always so helpful. They are a credit to the place, so hardworking and helpful, they make you feel like your wedding is the only one! Catherine was brilliant on the day itself, everything ran like clockwork and we didn't have to worry about anything. She even managed to move the flower arch from the ceremony into the pavilion which was a lovely surprise! The room was set up so beautifully on the day, Steve, the duty manager in the evening was also really helpful and we were delighted with how quick the meals came out etc.


We had such a wonderful day at Rathsallagh and we couldn't speak highly enough of it. So many of our guests commented on how lovely a venue it is and how much they enjoyed the food, accommodation and everything else. It is a beautiful, special place and we will always treasure the memories of our day there spent with our family and friends.

Helen and Patrick Davis, wedding 7th September 2018

Rathsallagh are a top class wedding venue, we had the most perfect day there for our wedding. The team made you feel like you were the only wedding they had that year. The food is excellent, the venue is unique, and they are all bout you enjoying the day till the wee hours. I cannot fault Rathsallagh one bit - a very down to earth team, building magical wedding days.

We got married at Rathsallagh House in August of 2018, and honestly, we could not have asked for a better experience. First and foremost, the house and the grounds are amazing. Our wedding day itself was wet and drizzly, and even in those conditions, it was breathtaking. The grounds are immaculate and the house is the most comfortable and homely venue we have ever been to. We knew the second we drove up to the house and walked around the estate that this was the only venue we wanted to be married at - and we saw a fair few!

While the grounds themselves are amazing, the entire team at Rathsallagh is responsible for making the place what it is. The wedding team at Rathsallagh are second to none, and could not have done more in the months and weeks leading up to the big day. They made what is a stressful process as easy as it possibly could have been. We would like to give a special thanks to Gillian, Stephen, George, and all the other staff, who contributed to making our wedding day as wonderful as it was.

Rathsallagh House has a fantastic reputation for a reason – the people are some of the best in the business and the venue is one of the best in the country. We would highly recommend Rathsallagh to any couple looking for a beautiful and unique venue with high-quality service.

We would highly recommend Rathsallagh to have your wedding day. The hotel made us feel so welcome and truly made our day so special. The staff where very professional and Katherine went to the end of the world to make sure we got what we wanted for our big day. The venue itself is second to none and was a perfect setting for our day. Again would highly recommend Rathsallagh house for your big day.

Rathsallagh House was everything we dreamed for...
Our wedding was lovely and our guests enjoyed every sencond of it. Catherine and Julie are delightful people who partcipated in all the little details.

We are so grateful we all you did for our wedding!

We cannot recommend Rathsallagh enough. We had the most amazing wedding day and the run up to the wedding was made so smooth knowing that Rathsallagh had everything in hand. Nothing was too much hassle and the quality of the food was superb. We only wish we could do it all again.

We got married in Rathsallagh in May and can't recommend it highly enough. Our families and guests were all raving about the venue- the delicious food, the beautiful rooms and the stunning grounds. The permanent marquee was lovely and comfortable and it was great to have the dance floor, bar (which was well staffed) and bathrooms all in one place. The service was excellent both before and during the wedding and we’d particularly like to thank Catherine and Stephen who made the weekend really special for us and couldn’t have been more helpful.

We choose to have our wedding in Rathsallagh House back in May 2016. From the first visit we were welcomed with sincere warmth, meeting the owner Joe and having him show us around this beautiful venue made our choice very easy. From that point onward every member of the wedding co-ordination team and indeed every employee was so professional and warm to us. As we stated in our speech on our wedding day, "Each Employee is an important cog in a well-oiled machine". We cannot recommend highly enough this venue for your wedding. Our wedding day was amazing and one we will never forget and a big part of that is because of the Management and Staff in Rathsallagh House. From our guests driving up the beautiful avenue to be greeted personally right through to the checkout the following morning they wanted for nothing. Attention to detail was amazing, from the beautiful food served all day to the wonderful breakfast the next morning we cannot fault it and the feedback from our guests confirmed all this. Once again we would sincerely like to thanks Joe and his amazing team for a truly magical day. Dave & Tom

We had our wedding in Rathsallagh House on the 21st of April 2018 with 110 guests. The service and professionalism was second to none. I can not recommend Rathsallagh House highly enough. All our guests commented on the excellent service from the moment they arrived in the car park. Guests also were highly complimentary of the food. The wedding
co-ordinators are extremely proficient and always replied to every email no matter how trivial. The venue exudes opulence and understated elegance. The attention to detail is first class. I would definitely recommend Rathsallagh House for any wedding big or small.

Catherine and the Rathsallagh team could not have done enough for us. They were professional, helpful and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and the second day bbq in rathsallagh and I would highly recommend it. The food was excellent!

the whole process ran like a dream. Rathsallagh were completely on the ball from the word go. It was amazing. I couldnt fault it at all.
any queries i had were all responded to straight away.
We had snow the night of our wedding and alot of guests couldnt get back to BnBs however Rathsallagh provided blankets and kept the fires going all night for people to stay, they provided them with food and drinks and offered them breakfast the next day. was just fab

An absolutely stunning venue with the most unbelievably helpful staff. We were never going to have our reception anywhere else from the moment we first went to view Rathsallagh House. Our guests still talk about the wonderful venue and exceptionally helpful and kind staff in Rathsallagh. Thank you for the best day ever Rathsallagh House. Wishing you every success in the future ????

The best wedding venue in Ireland! Literally could not have done more for us. The best day of our lives

We couldn't recommend Rathsallagh House and the team any more! Right from the beginning when we met Joe at a viewing we were made to feel so welcome, and it didn't take us long to lock in the date. We had the challenge of organising our wedding from Japan where we were living the year before the wedding. However, Joe and his amazing team of Gillian, Catherine and Julie were so helpful and provided all the support we needed, as well as helping us to chose our vendors including the lovely celebrant Mary and Orla the harpist/ singer. The team were so honest in helping us decide what extras we needed, and never once tried to over sell. We used the Orangery for our ceremony, and it was just perfect and didn't really need much done to it.
The day itself was magical, in the first week of December when the venue was decorated for Christmas. All our guests said Rathsallagh House and the grounds were like a fairytale setting, and the food was honestly the best they ever had at a wedding. The beef is sensational, and cooked to order for over 100 guests. All the staff will go the extra mile for you, and we don't have any complaints apart from that the day went too quickly. The accommodation is top notch too, and all our guests staying loved it.
In summary if you're looking for a great looking venue with atmosphere, sensational food, and faultless service then Rathsallagh is for you!

Where do I start!? I can not begin to express my thanks to the team at Rathsallagh House for such an amazing wedding day last month - just WOW. From the moment I arrived at Rathsallagh I knew it was my venue.
We met with Julie for our initial show around and it was a pleasure working with her right through to our wedding day.
We were looked after extremely well.
Everything on the day was perfect - the arrivals reception and pavilion were beautifully decorated - there are so many beautiful photo opportunities both inside and outside (the big tree is amazing!), the food was out of this world - both the wedding meal and the breakfast the next morning, stunning bedrooms.
The staff went above and beyond on the day for us and all of our guests. We have received such wonderful feedback from everybody. I have to mention Stephen in particular - he was absolutely fantastic on the day.
Our day was so relaxed from start to finish - a truly magical day.
Huge thanks to Joe, Julie, Stephen, Catherine, Gillian & all the team at Rathsallagh.
I can't wait to visit again soon.

We had our wedding at Rathsallagh in September and it was the best day ever. Catherine, Gillian and Julie were very helpful during the planning. They were very responsive and paid great attention to details and we felt that everything was really well planned. On the day of the wedding, the set up was stunning and the guests really enjoyed themselves. The food was also amazing, our guests are still raving about their experience at Rathsallagh.

Thank you so much Rathsallagh team for a lifetime memory and the best day ever!

We recently got married In Rathsallagh and from start to finish the whole experience was out of this world. From when we met with the co-coordinators to the day after the wedding, every one could not do enough for us. The service we received was extremely personal and friendly. There was never a question or request that was too big or not possible- they tried to accommodate every little detail that we requested. I really could not rate this venue high enough, 5 stars does not come close to doing it justice!

Thanks a million to Rathsallagh for a fantastic wedding day, we are so happy with how it all went. We had a lot of positive feedback from all our guests and we couldn't have asked for more on the day. It was amazing! Best day ever.

The most magical day- our wedding at Rathsallagh July 2017
We had our wedding reception in Rathsallagh in July 2017. The whole day was perfect from beginning to end. The reception started at 3.30 and finished at 6am! With 18 months of planning Catherine, Gillian and Julie could not do enough for us. We planned our wedding from New Zealand and the communication was just excellent. We had many beautiful venues to choose from and are 100% happy that we chose Rathsallagh. The grounds are spectacular in the summer and the drinks reception can be held in the walled garden or the front garden looking out on the grounds- both locations equally as nice. The wedding coordinators and staff here are excellent and the O'Flynn family should be very proud of what they have achieved. The guest rooms are very spacious, well decorated, comfortable and luxurious.The only downside (and our guests all agreed) was that we had to leave the next day!! Having said that, we had an impromptu music session after breakfast and guests were still hanging around well after 1pm and at no stage did staff approach us to leave the grounds- nicely done. There was a great sense of personal touch throughout the day- Kay O' Flynn, one of the owners, even walked with my husband and I from the gardens to the Pavilion offering her congratulations and checking if there was anything more they could do for us on the day, while she carried the train of my dress. Good food was top of our list of priorities and after a mammoth tasting session in January we were so pleased with the food on the day N.B the pork belly starter is TO DIE FOR and our guests were all begging for more. Cooking for 120 people can't be easy but each dish was beautifully presented and the meals all delicious. Many of the venues we viewed had a sense of conveyer-belt-weddings about them and it was truly off putting- Rathsallagh really sets itself apart in this way. It is obvious that the O'Flynns care more about making your day perfect than making a large profit and for this reason they will continue to host wedding for decades to come. Thank you for everything, Mr and Mrs Douglas.

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Rathsallagh played a big part in that. From the minute we viewed the venue we knew it was exactly what we wanted. The grounds and house are stunning for a wedding. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was happy and that the day ran smoothly.
Our guests are still raving about Rathsallagh over a month later! They loved the accommodation, the food and the professionalism of the staff. I believe the scones at the drinks reception were renamed "little drops of heaven" by one of our guests. Another guest who is a professional chef himself was very impressed with the food and he is a hard man to impress!
Overall we can't express how happy we were with the whole day and experience with Rathsallagh. A massive thank you to Catherine and the team for making our wedding day so memorable and special and we can't wait to revisit Rathsallagh again soon.

Rathsallagh House is as good a place as you will find to have a wedding reception in Ireland. We were absolutely thrilled with everything, the service and attention to detail was really second to none, and we are still getting compliments from our guests saying what a great time they had, and how much they loved the venue and also the food is spectacular. Hopefully we'll get to attend another wedding there as guests one day! In any case we'll be back for a visit over the coming months.

Also a special mention to Stephen, Catherine, Gillian and Julie for all of the hard work they put into the day and night of the wedding. We really couldn't speak more highly of the staff. The staff and the venue are as good as we've ever encountered! I highly recommend this place, it's very, very special!

From the minute we drove up the avenue to view Rathsallagh house for the first time we were sold and knew it was our venue. The old world charm and stunning setting of the hotel was just what we wanted for our special day. There were so many options for our ceremony and the fact that you have exclusive use of the venue for your wedding was just what we wanted as we were having a small wedding. The staff are so warm and friendly and the food is excellent. The rooms are all decorated differently and each and every one of them are stunning. The grounds of the hotel are really well maintained and there are so many beautiful opportunities for photographs within the estate that there's no need to go off elsewhere and spend ages away from your guests. We had our ceremony in the walled garden and the drinks reception followed afterwards in the same place, we were blessed with a scorcher of a day and so everyone enjoyed their drinks in the sun. Having the ceremony and reception in the one place made for a very relaxed day, we knew we were in great hands. It's not hard to see why Rathsallagh were voted Wedding Venue of the year. They deserve all the recognition they have gotten. So many of our guests spoke about how friendly and helpful each and every member of the staff were. Rathsallagh is now our very special place and we hope to return frequently for years to come.

Allen and I just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much to all of the staff at Rathsallagh for making our wedding day on the 6th May so amazing. We enjoyed every moment and had non stop compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food and how friendly and accommodating the staff were! They really were sensational.

We will be recommending Rathsallagh to everyone and are so very glad we chose it for our wedding venue.

Thank you,
Catherine & Allen

Hi Rathsallagh,

I just want to thank you so so much for our fabulous amazing wedding day on 22nd April 2017. Rathsallagh exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The grounds are just absolutely stunning. All the staff went above and beyond their call to give us the best day ever. We will definitely be back for an overnight stay. Thank you to all of you once again.
Laura & Philip.

The most important thing I can say about this venue is that we cannot compliment our wedding coordinator (Gillian) or any of the wider Rathsallagh team enough. From start to finish, they aimed to make our preparation as easy as possible and we hadn't the slightest concern leading up to the day that what we'd hoped for wouldn't be delivered. The grounds, house, rooms are all beautiful and our guests loved everything about their experience. As the bride and groom, we had a fantastic day and couldn't have asked for better. We can't wait to go back.

We loved the venue and are so happy we chose to have it there. It is 5 star in every aspect but instead of that feeling where you feel slightly out of place because of that its the absolute opposite because its like walking into a good friend or relations home when you arrive and you are always given a warm welcome!

From dealing with Joe at the start when he listened to what we wanted and offered a package there and then to suit without any hidden extra's, onto dealing with coordinators throughout who were really helpful and to the day itself.

The day was perfect. The venue looked great, the staff did a great job, everyone had loads to eat and drink and a few people said it was the best meal they have had at a wedding. The room looked great and anyone that had a room really loved it.

We will always have fond memories of the day and a large part of that is down to Rathsallagh as a venue and the staff that run it. Couldn't fault it at all and will be hoping we can return for a weekend ourselves or just to another wedding!

We had an absolute ball, everything was perfect from start to finish we could not have asked for anything more.
The compliments were flowing in for the setting, the food and everything in between.
The staff are exceptional so helpful and facilitating we had such a great day as did all our guests.

All we can say is that everything was just AMAZING! We couldn't have imagined a better day & weekend. Over the last 14 months Julie & Catherine did everything in their power to make our day absolutely amazing & we cant thank them enough! We have already recommended Rathsallagh to all our friends who are now engaged & will continue to do so.Many of our guests commented on how amazing the lamb was, but also the food the day after, people said this was just incredible! Food was hugely important to us in planning our day & Rathsallagh far exceeded our expectations! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our dream come alive!

My wife and I got married here on September 10th, and it was an unbelievable day. We first visited Rathsallagh on a trip home (both Irish based living in New York) in March 2015, and we immediately knew it was exactly what we wanted for our wedding - from the grounds, to the house, the pavilion, and staff everything was how we wanted it.

The majority of the wedding planning was done via email and some phone calls. The ladies who look after the weddings at Rathsallagh, are nothing short of class. Gillian, Catherine, Julie and the others i'm sure We are forgetting, could not help enough and their advice was very much welcomed. They made planning a long distance wedding something quite manageable, if not easy. We would have been lost without them.

When the day itself arrived, the grounds and house were pristine. While the original plan was drinks in the walled garden, there was a threat of rain so they were moved to the restaurant and front lawn. This worked out perfectly, as it turned into a beautiful day with a lot of people setting up on the tables and chairs on the lawn.

The dinner itself was excellent. Good food was something we were focused on and it surpassed all expectations. The staff were excellent. Stephen the duty manager could not do enough for us, and was always available for anything we needed.

Overall the day was everything we could have wanted. We have been told countless times by our guests that the wedding was the best they have ever been to and that was made possible by the wonderful people at Rathsallagh.

Fantastic venue with a lovely atmosphere.
We had an amazing day with our ceremony in the garden, and we were delighted that we could have our dog with us for the celebrations.
Our guests are still raving about it.
We appreciated all the extras like the toiletries in the loos and the croquet on the lawn.
It really couldn't have gone better!

Having looked for a venue in Wicklow for a few months, Rathsallagh and the staff of Rathsallagh were a breath of fresh air. Far from their pretentious and unhelpful rivals in Wicklow, the staff of Rathsallagh were warm and welcoming long before they even knew we were a potential wedding couple. Everything was clear, concise and stress free in the lead up to the wedding but it was their level of detail on the day of the wedding that just blew me away. We didn't hear of any issues that arose on the day because everything was dealt with by Rathsallagh staff. The fact the bride was codliac was no trouble at all, I was followed around by gluten free food all day! On our sunny wedding day the beautiful private grounds and house seemed a million miles away from the cues of traffic as the rest of the Ireland scrambled to Glendalough for the good weather. I really couldn't fault Rathsallagh and I cant thank Gillian, Patricia and the team enough.

When we started planning our wedding we said there were three important elements to a good wedding; great food, a venue that made an impact and an excellent wedding band. Rathsallagh provided two of those for us.

Rathsallagh was the perfect venue and I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

When we had our initial appointment to view the venue we met Joe the owner. Joe was a bundle of energy and really enthusiastic about us having our wedding at Rathsallagh.

Joe gave us a tour of the grounds, brought us to see the function room and the rooms available. Joe had some great ideas about how we could make the function room our own, and ran us through some great ideas other guests had.

We could really visualise having our wedding there.

On the day the staff were amazing. We didn't have to worry about anything. The staff were very welcoming to us and all our guests.

We, including the guests, were blown away by the quality of food. It really was incredible, in fact some guests emailed us afterwards saying it was as good as a high quality restaurant and they would have happily paid for it!

We booked the venue for the day after for a family bbq. This allowed us to have the venue exclusively for the weekend. The pig on a spit was gorgeous and the buffet food was really high quality. They even brought out more food, that was left over from the bbq, at 11pm and this was very welcome by all.

We really would give this venue a glowing reference. There were a few small things, and in the interest of being fair to people considering this venue it is important to provide a fair review.

On the morning after the wedding some rooms, including the main room, didn't have any hot water and I believe this was due to the venue being an old house.

When we met with Joe we were given the impression that a lot of extras were included in the price, however, when we met with the team we learnt this was a misunderstanding on our behalf. Therefore, I do recommend that couples check any assumptions just to avoid disappointment. I don't think we were mislead, I think we just didn't ask the right questions.

I do think Rathsallagh is good value. It is a bit more expensive than other venues but what you get in return is very high quality food, a high quality service from a group of very well trained staff, a beautiful venue and setting and the peace of mind that your guests are having a great time.

Don't even think about looking anywhere else! We got married three weeks ago and held our reception at Rathsallagh. From the minute we walked in to view the venue a year ago, to the minute we checked out the next day, there is not one thing we could possibly find fault with. The venue itself is stunning, from the drive up (which will completely awe all your guests), to the cosy sitting rooms & receptions rooms, and the fact that each of the bedrooms are decorated individually and beautifully. Someone had said to us before the wedding that the weather won't matter with Rathsallagh and they were completely right - it rained ALL DAY and we hardly even noticed, we just enjoyed the log fires. The pavilion function room is amazing, and just gets even prettier as the evening goes on, with fairy lights twinkling outside.
When chatting about venues, we always agreed that one of the most important aspects of a wedding reception was the food. Rathsallagh has to be one of the best places I have ever eaten, and not just in Ireland! The tasting meal last November was incredible but there is always the worry that catering for a large wedding party won't be the same - I don't know why i ever doubted. We had the beef, which is cooked to order of preference for each guest (where else would you find this?!) and guests are still talking about it weeks later. Most important was their attention to detail - we had a number of coeliacs at the wedding (including myself) and not only was this catered for with no hassle, we had g/f canapes, g/f midnight feast and cream brulee offered to guests for dessert instead of the usual fruit salad I'm used to. Staff made such an effort to ensure that g/f guests were found for the midnight feast no matter where they had moved to.
I could go on and on about the venue, food etc., but the biggest reason I would do it all over again in heartbeat in Rathsallagh is their staff. We first met with Catherine on the viewing and the first thing that came across was how much she loved the place. Not only did she take an hour showing us around that day, she also took time again a couple days later to meet with my parents and show them around, although unplanned. From the day we booked Rathsallagh, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. All of the staff that I dealt with were so lovely and couldn't do enough to help us out and answer any queries quickly. The biggest thing for me was that on the day (and since), all of our guests have spoken so highly of the staff there. Mags & Steven looked after the day itself and I think the majority of our guests got to talk to them at some stage, there was literally nothing they didn't have covered.
I could go on and on but just go view this place and BOOK IT! Oh and maybe invite us to the wedding, I could totally go for another one of those dinners :-)

A really top class venue, there was not one thing we would have changed about our day at Rathsallagh. The staff are wonderful, the food is the best I've had at a wedding and the venue is stunning.

I have been overwhelmed with the whole Team at Rathsallagh house from the moment I met them to the weekend of our wedding. The team there from the Wedding Co-ordinators, Duty Manager, Bar and Waiting staff have been wonderful. We stayed the night before and the night after our wedding and we were blown away by the quality and professionalism of every single member of staff at all times, not only to ourselves but to our guests, it was 10star service all the way, if that even exists! The day of the wedding ran like clockwork, we were made to feel by the Wedding Planners and all staff that we were the most important people in the world and they showed genuine excitement for us on our big day, I don't think I could ask for anything to be done any differently the only sad part was that we had to leave Rathsallagh on Sunday. I would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend this venue to any future couples - enjoy the luxury and first class treatment without paying first class prices. Hospitality at it's very finest.

We would just like to thank Catherine and her team for the fabulously professional and personnel job they did in helping us organise our wedding. Literally nothing was too much trouble, for example our three year old son was demanding sausages at 6pm- a request I am sure that the kitchen could have done without at that time (!) and they were provided immediately. From the moment we booked our wedding with Rathsallagh they couldn't have done enough for us. Everyone was raving about the venue, the food the wine and the band. We chose the red wine from Puglia and it went down big with our guests and we also chose Johnnie be Goode the Rathsallagh House band and everyone was literally dancing for the night. We'd like to thank Catherine in particular as we dealt with her practically exclusively from the start and she was just a dream to deal with. If you want to pick a venue who really know what they are doing, are generous (all our guests were offered second and third helpings of steak!) and who are kind and professional to deal with then I would highly recommend Rathsallagh. The one draw back, which I suppose is a compliment to them really, was that there wasn't enough rooms to offer our guests and many more people wanted to stay than we could assign rooms to. I think it would really be worth their time to consider building a few more rooms as assigning the rooms caused us a little bit of stress as we had to leave a lot of our guests out. Apart from that tiny thing, we really couldn't fault the beautiful venue, the charm and professionalism of all the staff and we'd like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Where do I start !! We got married at Rathsallagh 10 weeks ago , from the start of planning to the wedding day the whole team were amazing. Planning a wedding from abroad can be stressful but Catherine , Trish and Joe were amazing to deal with, no query was too big or small! The attention to detail on every aspect of our stay , the wedding day and BBQ the following day was outstanding. They thought of things you would never dream of just down to the little things like putting my bouquet in water after the meal to preserve it , the whole team works so well together!! The food was outstanding , something they are so well known for , we risked the lamb as our main and it went down a storm , everyone is still talking about the food ! I could talk all day about their professionalism , both our families from Ireland & Scotland raved about Rathsallagh as a wedding venue and they all had an amazing stay . I can honestly say if you choose Rathsallagh as your exclusive wedding venue it will exceed even the highest of expectations.

The great energy during our first meeting made all the planning that more exciting. Nothing was too much trouble and the professionalism and calming influence was infectious on a day.
Exceptional food, service and an amazing setting.

As parents of the Bride we were very involved in all the interaction and planning for Elaine & Alans's wedding on the 6th of August 2015 in Rathsallagh House.
Catherine and the team in Rathsallagh House were simply amazing and from beginning to end covered every detail to perfection.
The best compliment one can pay to them is that if we had to organize the day again we would change nothing.
Real class 10 out of 10!!!

I can honestly say that Rathsallagh was the perfect wedding venue for us. Every time we visited to speak with Gillian or to have a look around, we were met with the most warm welcome from the ladies and Joe. Nothing was too much trouble. I was at ease the whole way through the wedding process. The day itself was like a dream, everything ran seamlessly down to the hard work of the whole team. The meal was the most delicious wedding food we have ever tasted. And we are still getting compliments on it today. It is the most warm, friendly beautiful and exclusive venue in our opinion. We would recommend Rathsallagh to anyone who is looking for a venue that makes you feel so special on this very special day.

THE WEDDING THAT ALMOST NEVER WAS

We were married in Rathsallagh House in September 2014. In the July before our wedding my husband's father became very ill and sadly two weeks before the wedding, he passed away. We were left devastated.

It was an extremely emotional time for us and the wedding took a back seat, in fact, we weren't sure if we would go ahead at all. Hens and Stags had been cancelled the previous month and we had no real will to go ahead with our day without him.

Catherine and her team at Rathsallagh were so understanding. In the months that my father-in-law was sick they were a quiet voice in the background, letting us know they were there if we needed them but never once putting pressure on us to make decisions about our day. Catherine was a constant support, she was there to advise when needed.

When we finally made the decision to go ahead (10 days before the wedding) Catherine pulled out all the stops. She had been busy with preparations in the background during the previous months and all of the hassle of wedding planning was taken away from us. I can honestly say I did not stress about one thing in the lead up to our wedding as I knew she had it covered which meant we were able to grieve and spend time with my husband's family in the lead up to the wedding.

On the morning of the wedding my father took very ill and had to be taken by ambulance to hospital. He suffers from arthritis and literally could not get out of the bed, his pain was that bad. The paramedics felt that once they got him to the hospital and administered some pain relief (morpheine no less!) that he would be able to make the wedding. They took his suit and wash bag with them in the ambulance and told me he'd see me at the church. We delayed the wedding by 1.5hrs. My Welsh cousin went with my Dad but he wasn't sure of the way back to our church venue so Naas hospital paid for a taxi for my Dad and drove him back to Wicklow, suited and booted and ready to walk his daughter down the aisle.

This naturally delayed our reception and again Rathsallagh were amazing. Patricia was there on the day and everything had to be pushed back by a few hours, and nothing was a problem. I wasn't exactly thinking straight in the run up to the wedding and one of the errors I made was leaving at least 6 people off my seating plan (including my brother and sister-in-law ????). I wasn't even told about it, Trish had them seated before I even knew there was a problem. I was told not to worry, it's all sorted.

The food on the day was amazing. We didn't sit down to our meal until 7 that evening and had almost 200 guests and everything was just perfect. They couldn't have looked after us better.

I cannot recommend Rathsallagh highly enough. The venue is so beautiful, the food is amazing (I haven't even mentioned the tasting day which was such a fabulous experience), Catherine is an absolute gem, I've never met someone who can do their job so well almost under the radar, she's constantly working away and doing her best for you in the background but to say she is a silent pillar of strength by your side is an understatement. We needed all the help we could get and she didn't disappoint.

I haven't even mentioned the girl who followed me down to the very end of the walled garden with a platter of food while our photographer was busy taking pics, because she had overheard me say to my bridesmaid "I'm starving" as I got out of our bridal car. I wish I could remember her name.

And I haven't mentioned the numerous compliments I received from our guests about everything from the food, to the staff, to the accommodation and the breakfast ... oh the breakfast, yum! And the fact that you have the entire house to yourself makes it feel so much more personal.

I cannot recommend Rathsallagh highly enough. Our hearts just weren't in it in the lead up to the wedding and Catherine and her team turned our "let's just do it and get it over with" attitude on its head and I can honestly say that in spite of the heartache of the previous weeks and the worry of the wedding morning, we had an amazing day and have beautiful memories to cherish from our day, made possible by Rathsallagh.

We found Rathsallagh house to be the perfect venue for us due to it's relaxed atmosphere, excellent guest rooms and facilities and exceptional food. We chose it on this basis and on the fact that it's dining room was just off a main hallway with 2 separate drawing rooms which were perfect for older guests who wanted to chat instead of dancing the night away after dinner.
While planning we could always count on the wedding planners to have the latest information on our wedding and be able to answer any queries in a timely manner.
On the day itself, once we arrived we didn't have to worry about anything, the staff took care of ourselves and our guests and covered every eventuality. This meant that myself and my husband could relax and enjoy our day with our family and friends.
I really couldn't fault Rathsallagh, it was all we'd hoped for and judging by feedback since the wedding, the vast majority of our guests would be in agreement.

Thank you so much to Catherine, Gillian, Trish and all the great staff at Rathsallagh House for helping to make our wedding day so spectacular. From the planning, (which was from Australia) to the day of my wedding it was fantastic, the ladies were at hand with any enquires whether big or small and helped me so much, Rathsallagh exceeded my expectations. The food was great everything we hoped for and as I am a chef, I am known for being particular when it comes to food and it was perfect also I had a special request for venison for myself and Shane as a surprise for Shane and the ladies helped me keep it secret till he had seen the menu :) All the rooms were fabulous I really liked how each one has its own unique decor from the old to the new all ware lovely and the surroundings ware spectacular made for some great photos. all our guest are still raving about both the day, venue and food. Everyone including myself and my husband could not have a bad word to say about our experience everything was wonderful. We will look forward to staying there again maybe for our anniversary :)Thanks to all involved in making our day so memorable
