Wrights Anglers Rest

I found the staff in particular Agatha very helpful and friendly. The day was very relaxed with no pressure. Food was excellent

We had our wedding here on New Years Eve and it was a great day. We couldn't have asked for more from Agata and the team. From start to finish the whole process was effortless and took very little time, they just knew what to ask us and made things happen. As a venue it's beautifully quirky with it's beams and charm. It was still twinkling from Christmas when we got married so it had a little extra bit of magic. Food was amazing, service was friendly and flexible. We got so many compliments on the day about the space. Many of our guests hadn't been before and enchanting was a word that was used a lot to describe it.
All in all for value, service and style it suited us down to the ground and I couldn't say enough good things about it.

We recently had our wedding in the Anglers Rest and we could not recommend it enough. The ceremony and reception rooms were decorated beautifully and such a warm, cosy atmosphere. The food was gorgeous and the staff were amazing. Agata and the team were a dream to deal with from the start and organised everything! I would definitely recommend to anyone as a wedding venue!

This place was amazing couldn't recommend it more from start to finish great. Magda and staff were fantastic throughout the whole process and made our day even better.

We held our wedding reception at the Angler's Rest in September this year. The food, service, decor and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. So many of our guests said it was some of the best food they ever had at a wedding!! The service on the night was so accommodating as well. On the day itself, the weather the weather was pretty dreadful, but the entire venue was so cosy...the fireplace was lit, there were candles everywhere and it was so cosy. A huge thank you to Agata and team in particular for all their support in the lead up to the day! Thanks so much, Colm & Emma

A massive thank you to Agata and the Anglers Rest team for making our day on the 13th September so special!

It was a pleasure to work with Agata and the team, for making everything perfect, and making us both feel at ease and free of any stress in the lead up to and during the big day.

The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious and everyone has commented how everything was organised so well and that it was such a fun and relaxing day.

We wanted somewhere that felt intimate but big enough to celebrate with our family and friends and you all went above and beyond, I can't thank the Anglers Rest team enough.

I really hope our friends and family hurry up and get engaged so we can recommend the Anglers Rest so we can come back to celebrate asap!!

My sister got married in Angler's Rest about 10 years ago and our family had a wonderful day then. So, when we decided to get married we thought why not go back? Any misgivings we may have had about standards having dropped were very quickly dispelled, firstly by Jenny and then by Agata who we dealt with in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. Agata really is one of the main selling points for Angler's Rest. Whatever they are paying her is not enough as she really went above and beyond the call! This was especially the case as we live abroad so were having to arrange wedding tastings/everything else by email, phone and Zooms. But Agata was on top of all 'problems' and always had a solution for us or a piece of advice to steer us in the right direction. The day itself went like clockwork and our guests (especially the foreign guests) loved the venue, the setting and found the staff very accommodating. The food was very tasty and commended by the guests, as was the wine. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely have no hesitation in recommending The Angler's Rest.

We got married in Wrights Anglers Rest on the 20th April 2024 and we had an amazing day. The minute we booked it with Jenny we knew we had choose the right venue. Jenny & Agata were so helpful to us as we were new to all this and didn’t know what we needed to do there advise was brilliant and we didn’t need to worry about anything even on the day Agata and the staff looked after everything . The day was perfect the staff all made sure that everything ran smoothly . The food was spectacular I wouldn’t have changed anything about the venue or food it is definitely a 10 out of 10 . There is just something special about place it makes the day feel so intimate and personal and a day never to forget x

The venue is gorgeous, especially at night when the fairy lights are on. The balcony really adds to the experience too. The food was amazing, we wondered if it would be as nice on the wedding day as it was at the tasting and it really was, everyone was raving about it. A few guests did say that they had to keep going downstairs to order certain drinks which was a bit annoying, but overall the staff were very good. Anna in particular was so helpful and seemed to be everywhere, doing everything, thank you Anna for that!

Would recommend to others looking for a laidback local wedding, it was lovely that very few of our guests had to get a hotel. Also we were worried that people would struggle to get taxis home but this didn’t turn out to be an issue at all.

Thanks Anna, Agata, Jenny and all the other staff involved in making our day a great one! Would highly recommend.

We had the most incredible day from start to finish it couldnt have been any better. When we made contact with Jenny she was so helpful & friendly & made the planning process so easy. It was great to be able to contact her at any time with questions & to get advice, she even whatsapped us on lots of pictures from previous wedding set up so we got a great feel for the space before we arrived to view. Once booked Agata looked after us, again couldnt have met a nicer person who was more than helpful throughout the process. This venue is just so beautiful & the food, where do I start. Forget about the usual wedding menu, this is far superior & they were happy to look after a few guests who had very specific dietary requirements, nothing was any trouble. Our guest comments since the wedding on both the food & the venue have been amazing, lovely to hear how much all our family & friends enjoyed it. We were made to feel so special throughout & were welcomed like friends on our wedding day. A massive thanks to all the team you absolutely made our day with such a warm & friendly service. Thanks again

Amazing venue and amazing staff.

I honestly don't know where to start with this review, or how exactly to put into words how special our wedding reception at the Anglers rest last Christmas. We were looked after my Agatha and Betty and from start to finish they made us feel like family and as if our day was as important to them as it was us. If you?re looking for a relaxed, charming, authentic venue where the team genuinely go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect on your big day, this is your venue. Every single one of our guests was so complimentary about the venue and we?re blown away by the decor, hospitality, quality of the food and drink and flexibility and warmth of the team. Agatha deserves a special mention, she was so kind and accommodating throughout this whole process, especially at times when a stressed bride to be needed someone to calm and reassure her ! She treated our families like her own on the day and no request was too big or troublesome. I will be forever grateful that we chose the Anglers Rest for our reception venue, it was perfect in every way and know for a fact we would not have had the memorable day we did had we gone with another venue - I couldn't recommend it more to couples planning their big day, it?ll be the best decision you make! Agatha, Betty and all the team - thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it is a day that will stay with us forever and I look forward to planning many family gatherings with you in the future. Tanya & David

What a wonderful experience we had having our wedding in the Anglers Rest. We fell in love with the place from the moment we walked in. Agata spoke to us in length about what to expect and we decided on the spot to book our date. Agata was so accommodating and helpful throughout the lead up and answered any questions we had. She worked amazing with different vendors we had for the day.
We both have different dietary requirements and the venue was amazing we both got the best dinner.
The day itself went without a hitch, it was beautiful with the Christmas trees, decorations and fires. Agatha was on hand for any questions we had.
The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so lovely. Thank you for all your help creating our perfect day. Onr we'll remember forever.

We had an absolutely amazing wedding in the Angler's Rest. Having a venue with really good food was something that was super important to us and all of our guests were raving about how it was the best wedding food they ever had. As well as the food being really top quality, we were also able to have more choice on the menu compared to the other wedding venues we looked at. And the venue is beautiful, especially with all the fairy lights in the dining room. We were also able to do our photos at Farmleigh before the ceremony which was fab. Overall a fantastic experience.

I got married here on 14th September 2023 and couldn't recommend the Anglers Rest more. We originally had planned to get married in the Registry Office and have a nice dinner after, but in May 2023, our plans were changed as the dinner venue cancelled our reservation despite knowing our situation. The Anglers Rest was recommended to me as a venue that do beautiful food so I sent an email in May about it. The next day I came across one of their Autumn wedding packages, I wasn't even aware that you could get married there. From there in, everything was smooth sailing, I spoke to Jenny (the events manager) who told me they had space for a wedding on the day we wanted and she talked me through the package, invited us in for a viewing and then put us in touch with Agata, the most amazing wedding coordinator. I knew then that we were in excellent hands and we booked the Anglers Rest to have our wedding ceremony, reception, dinner and afters! From there in, nothing was too big or small of an ask from Agata, she completed forms for me that I needed for the Registry Office, she answered any questions I had and kept in good contact. When we were invited for our menu tasting, I couldn't believe the quality of the food and Agata was there to make sure everything was smooth and we got to taste different wines! We also went up to the ceremony/reception areas to discuss what we wanted from our wedding! The day itself went super smooth, Agata kept me calm and guided me before the ceremony and ensured everything was smooth. Again the food on the day was absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend Agata and the Anglers Rest more, thank you for the most beautiful day!

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

My husband and I knew from the moment we walked in to view The Angler's Rest and met Agata that this would be where we would have our wedding reception. The food, the atmosphere and the flexibility of the wedding team to make sure the celebrations were exactly how we wanted it meant the day flowed and was a stress free experience. We can't thank Agata and the team enough, we just wish we could do it all over again!

I don't even know where to begin! From start to finish our experience with Agata and the Anglers Rest staff was fantastic. I inundated Agata and her staff with questions and all were answered clearly and helpfully. They went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had a wonderful day. Everything we had asked for was catered to and the day went off without a hitch thanks to their hard work!

Couldn't recommend them more! Thank you so much Agata, Isabella and team!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anglers Rest were simply amazing at hosting our wedding. From the first interaction to the day after, the team were super helpful and professional. On the day the service was flawless (special shout-out to the waitress that helped me attach the tail of my dress back to my handle) and the food was delicious. I cannot recommend this venue enough and I am so happy we celebrated our big day there.

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

What a great day! Everything went as planned and all the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Brilliant service for our meal, and every need catered for. The food is spectacular and was commented on by all the guests too. Betty and Agata are two great people to deal with, Strangers the first time we met - and like old friends the day after the wedding! They really make you feel at ease. Don't hesitate to book the Angler's rest for your big day. It truly is a memorable experience!

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

We were delighted with the service from the Angler's Rest and it was ideal for the type of wedding we wanted - about 75 people, good food and no fuss! They decorated the tables beautifully for no extra charge, the food was excellent and several of the guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Sometimes it took some time to get a response to emails but we understand the venue is very busy with weddings nearly everyday - maybe would be helpful to have extra staff responding to emails. They were very laid back and flexible, having no problem with numbers changing a bit until the last minute. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for an atmospheric venue with good food and for a wedding that's not too big or small.

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

This is the only place I viewed for my wedding. I knew the moment I set foot inside that the Anglers was the one. Everything was amazing. Agata and Betty are unreal at their job and completely made our day absolutely wonderful. I'll be going back again and again for the food alone as every dish I've had here has been delicious. Don't think twice about the Anglers Resr, just book it. You won't regret it.

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

Everything about the day was perfect; the venue itself has such an incredible quaint and rustic charm, when we first viewed it last year we knew that it would be the perfect venue for our big day and so it proved.
The organisation was perfect on the day, all the little details that went into the day's planning were perfect in the end.
The service was simply excellent
We were delighted with the meals, every course of food got rave reviews from literally everyone, even the fussiest members of the family! And the celeriac soup was a great success with everyone, (as we thought it would). Nothing we ever asked of Agata was too much trouble, be it during the planning stage or on the day itself.
We had the most wonderful day and would be more than happy to recommend you and the Anglers Rest to any of our friends or family who are planning to get married in the future

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

Superb venue & superb food, we had a magical day

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

Would highly recommend The anglers rest, Agata and the staff were so lovely to deal with and the venue itself is so charming and photographs beautifully. We had our ceremony and reception here and the food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't fault a single thing and I just wish we could do it all again.

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

This wedding was planned with my daughter living in Dublin and myself in America. Agata could not have been more helpful. The planning, the day of the wedding, everything was far beyond my expectations. I would recommend them without hesitation !!!

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

Was a lovely venue , food was amazing. We enjoyed ourselves. The set up was brilliant, the staff. All amazing

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

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

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

Darragh & Se?na

We had our wedding in this venue in May 2022, we were extremely disappointed. We tried to pay for the day on a number of occasions (during these times we had a number of meals in the venue) and we were told you can pay with a link after the wedding, at 12pm the day of the wedding, I got a call to say we must pay today, we tried but it wouldn't work due to bank limits of 7000 euros per day. We tried later in the night too. I found this extremely stressful and upsetting, I worried throughout my wedding mass would my friends and family get their dinner. Even now as I write this I feel upset. We also didn't get the wine we ordered and there was a large gap of time between the starter and main course too. So to be honest we are still very upset with how we are treated in this venue.

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

Fantastic to deal with from start to finish. Great value too. Very quick with responses and nothing was ever too much for them. Everyone is still commenting on how good the food was. Agata really is a credit to them. She was absolutely brilliant and made the day run so smoothly. Would highly recommend

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

We would not hesitate to recommend The Anglers Rest to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The venue itself is so perfect, cosy, so romantic and the food is absolutely to die for! The staff in the run up to our wedding, on the day and even after were nothing but very helpful, accomodating, so friendly, personable and professional! If we were to have our day again we would book The Anglers Rest a million times over, everything was perfect!

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

We had our Wedding here on 18th June 2021. and we couldn't have had a better day, it was made so special by everyone in the Anglers, from the initial contact with Jennie to the day itself, where Gemma and the staff made us and our guests feel so welcome, they couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble, so a special thank you to Gemma, We had the Ceremony in the Collins Room and it was beautifully laid out with an Open Fire, Red Carpet and Lanterns which really set it off, then to the reception where the food was absolutely beautiful and the service was excellent, the decor was fantastic with fresh flowers on all the tables, all our Guests complimented it, the staff were so friendly and professional, and we had the exclusive use of the Terrace also which was fantastic with the beautiful weather, we would highly recommend the Anglers for any couple that are looking for something special , we guarantee that you will not be disappointed, so thanks to all for making our day something very special xx

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

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

We couldn't have asked for a better venue, it was an absolutely perfect day. 10/10 would recommend booking Anglers Rest for your wedding!

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

bug thank you to the anglers rest who made our covid wedding so special. big thank you to alison especially! it was a stressful time and we actually had a whole other wedding planned and booked in a different venue but they were not being good to us at all. From the moment we booked with the anglers everything was made easy, and Alison couldnt do enough for us! would recommend to anyone looking to book there, you wont regret it!

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

Thank you so so so much Alison and the Anglers Rest for everything you did for us for our wedding day 4/12/20!! Alison was just so amazing and organised and easy to deal with!! She made us both smile throughout the day and we didn't feel any stress at all!!

The room was so stunning - it was just magical to walk into. The entire set up was fabulous!! Thank you also for getting the Christmas tree up and decorating our cheesecake table way better than we (Simon!) ever would have!

Everything you did was to perfection and we just can't thank you enough!! It didn't feel like a small wedding to us - the room , the space and tables were perfect for 25! It really was the best day ever - all our friends and family had the best time! The food was delicious , the service was great and all the staff were so helpful! I would recommend the Anglers Rest for any wedding - it was beyond what we both expected!

We can't wait to return to the Anglers Rest for dinner in the future!! It will always be a special place to us now!

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

From the minute we went to look at the Anglers Rest we knew it was the only venue we would consider for our wedding. Alison and all the team were so professional and reassuring and handled any request we had without any problem. During the build up to the day they helped us with all the little things that can pop up and made everything so easy. On the day itself we couldn't have asked for more. The food was amazing, our guests are still talking about it. The whole reception went so smoothly and the venue was stunning with lots of small christmas details added without us even knowing...it all made the day extra special for us and our guests. Highly recommend the Anglers Rest!

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

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

My husband and I got married in the Angler's Rest and it was the best decision we ever made (aside from choosing each other).

The staff, particularly Alison, were just unbelievable - so attentive, creative and kind. We were a small wedding and it would have been very easy for them to just kind of brush us off but instead they went above and beyond. I can't even describe the attention to detail and amount of work that Alison and her team put into making sure we had the best day possible.

They also were incredible and flexible with our celebrant and photographer, making everyone's lives so much easier.

The food was, as usual, perfect. With a small group we wanted to cater to everyone's tastes and so had three starters, three mains (plus a vegetarian and vegan option) and two desserts. Our group of foodies had clean plates all around!

I truly couldn't recommend having your wedding at Angler's Rest enough - Alison took all the stress and planning on herself, not that she ever let it show, and literally all we did was show up on time. After meeting with us and emailing back and forth for a few months, it seemed like she had taken care to infuse our personalities into the decor and layout of the day. It was the most stress free, easy going and personal day I could have imagined.

We wanted one long table instead of lots of little ones, no problem. We wanted extra menu choices, no problem. We wanted a late ceremony, no problem. We wanted drinks of choice instead of wine, no problem. We wanted some of our personal affects in the room, no problem.

There was no room for improvement, The Angler's Rest and Alison gave us the perfect wedding day and we couldn't be more grateful.

Amazing venue, guests loved it!

The staff really went the extra mile to make our day as special as it was.

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

The service and staff was amazing, we planned the wedding from Canada having never been to the venue and they helped with every aspect of the organizing and on the day. They looked after all the little details and Alison's team really took the stress of organizing away. They responded so quickly to all my lengthy questions and emails and were so helpful and accommodating. All our guest were raving about the food and the how beautiful the venue was and so conveniently close to the city. You really don't have to do anything to the venue as it is already so beautiful so it was perfect for a laidback low maintenance wedding!

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

We had our wedding in the Anglers Rest in July 2019. It was a fabulous day and everyone commented on the relaxed atmosphere and the delicious food. We had our ceremony in the Collins Room and it was set up perfectly for us. Niall Dalton was our fab DJ for the evening and made for some happy boogying! The sun shone and so our guests got to make good use of the outdoor spaces and private terrace area which worked brilliantly. I would highly recommend the Anglers for a relaxed Dublin wedding. Thanks to Alison, Ewa and Ewa-Aga.

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

We had the perfect wedding reception at the Angler's Rest. They provided a brilliant vegan menu, catering for gluten-free and nut-free guests. We had one chicken option to suit the parents too! All the staff were lovely and very attentive. When the speeches overran, they moved back the food so that we could include everything that we had planned. Could not fault the wine and beer selection. Really, they did not put a foot wrong. Highly recommended.

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

I had heard great things about the venue from friends who had been to weddings there but it is safe to say that our expectations were surpassed. We had the entire upstairs to ourselves until 2:30am and were completely unaware of the restaurant downstairs throughout the day. Everyone commented on how intimate and pretty the venue was, the food was incredible and the atmosphere throughout the day and into the night on the dance floor was incredible. Ewa and the team were so helpful and I couldn't recommend the venue highly enough

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

Great alternative wedding venue for a laid back party! The staff was very helpful throughout.

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

We had our wedding of approx. 90 in the Anglers Rest in Feb 2019. The staff, in particular Alison, could not do enough for us and went above and beyond. The venue itself was setup beautifully and the food was excellent as always. It was remarked on by a few guests how tasty it was and how great the venue looked. We thoroughly enjoyed our day in the anglers rest and want to thank all the staff there for making it memorable.

The Anglers Rest hosted our wedding reception in Dec 2017.

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you to Noeleen and the team!

We had the best day ever!we had our ceremony and the wedding meal and dancing after at the Anglers rest. the Venue is absolutely fabulous.Our wedding coordinator Alison was amazing, so helpufull. everything was organised at the day so we had nothing to worry about. Thank you Anglers rest for making our day extra special :-) Zane & Jorge

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

We both wanted to record our appreciation for the wonderful service provided by staff and management of the Anglers Rest at our wedding last month. The whole day was a truly memorable experience, and the reception location has been the subject of rave reviews by our guests, notwithstanding the attempts of Ed Sheeran and his legion of fans to scupper our return from the church to Knockmaroon Hill!!

We would like to pay particular tribute to the wedding coordinator Alison (for whom we were her first wedding) who was exemplary in everything she did for us. She always returned our calls/texts and nothing was a problem.

The location was magical and full of character, the food was delicious and the staff were nothing but attentive.

May 18th 2018 was a date we always knew would be etched in our minds and hearts. Judging by the scores of messages from our guests, many others have cause to positively recall this date also.

Thanks to all in the Anglers Rest.

Fergal & Emma

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

We recently had our wedding reception in the Anglers and it was such a wonderful day. Noeleen was great and so helpful during the planning. Also, she was there all day to make sure everything went smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble.
The food was fab, as always! All the staff were super helpful and there isn't really a thing we could fault.
We used the Dj recommended by the Anglers and he was great.

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

Fantastic venue , food and service. We had our Big Day on the 25/11/17 and enjoyed every minute of it, the staff were excellent and we didn't have one worry on the Day. Noeleen was so easy and relaxed to deal with answering all our queries efficiently and timely. The Christmas decorations were gorgeous and just added to the already amazing decor and ambience.

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

Ununbelievable help and care was given to us! It was hastily arranged, but they catered for everything and the food was out of this world. This place befreinds you, has your back and makes that day extra special..

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

We had our wedding at The Anglers Rest a few months ago and that was such a beautiful and special day for us. Thank you to Noeleen and all the staff, they made everything so easy for us and helped with everything we needed, I honestly had no worry and had the most fun! The food and drinks were all great, many thanks to the chef for taking care of us. I hope that all the happy couples that choose to have their big day here will have the same amazing experience as we and our guests did. Thank you Noeleen & all the team!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are just coming down from the most amazing day for our wedding at the anglers rest. From the day of first plans to last sat the service we got was extraordinary. Noleen helped us with every aspect of the day. The venue is so intimate and beautiful. I have had so many people call me to say they have never been at a more beautiful venue. The comments about the food are endless. We had the most amazing beef, salmon, duck and black pudding. I cannot put into words how happy we are to have chosen the anglers rest ????

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

A few of the many perks:

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

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

Very helpful..we couldn't have asked for a better venue...

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

We got married last May, the anglers was the perfect spot as it's so close to Dublin City center and doesn't have the big hotel room feel.

We loved the cosyness and history of the building. The food was absolutely beautiful, everyone raved about it and the choice was brilliant.

They were very accommodating at the bar too as my dad only drinks beamish and they supplied that on the night.

We had a couple of things that we felt let down by, there was no red carpet laid out for myself & my husbands arrival, the flowers we had agreed for the centre pieces were not there, they had actually used the same flowers from the previous days wedding which were actually wilted and this really annoyed us. The centre piece flowers were supposed to match my flowers. This and the red carpet were included in our package and we never got it. It made us feel like we weren't important to the anglers so as you can imagine on arrival we noticed it right away.

I feel it's important to mention that the room got very warm during the reception but the only ventilation is a door which leads to the roof garden/smoking are (this space is actually lovely for smokers or anyone wanting a bit of air). We tried to keep it open but the table next to the door complained it was too drafty so we had to keep it closed a lot. I know there's an issue with opening the windows due to the outside fire but we feel for future weddings the anglers really need to rectify this as both us and our guests found it uncomfortable.

We found the staff on the day to be very attentive and lovely to deal with, the wedding coordinator had to go home due to an injury (which we totally understood) but the waiters were unclear as to where the Mothers bouquets were and were the end of evening party favours were. I had to go looking for them myself. I know this may seem a bit OTT but on your wedding day you expect these things to be in place.

Overall I would totally recommend the anglers for a wedding but I feel it's only fair to express our shortcomings on the day. All in all, the atmosphere was lovey and the food was 10/10!

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

Got married here in march we and our guests had a fantastic day food and wine was fab noleen was very attentive couldnt have asked for more

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

The Anglers Rest is a great venue for a wedding. It's intimate, cosy and very welcoming. The staff are simply excellent particularly Noeleen. The food was quite simply delicious. They catered for all of our needs and made our day a very special one to remember . It's also extremely close to Farmleigh which was a great place for our photos. Overall I would highly recommend The Anglers Rest.

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

I had my wedding recently in The Anglers Rest and I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more! The moment I seen the stunning venue I knew I had to have my wedding here. Leading up to the Wedding I was in constant contact with the venue and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival to my reception everything was set up just the way I asked I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day, My guests commented on how stunning the venue was and that the food was exceptional! All the staff from the waiters to the bar staff were extremely polite, helpful and friendly. I couldn't recommend The Anglers Rest highly enough, From myself and my husband I would like to say Thank you to the Anglers Rest team for making my big day so wonderful.

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

We felt we must sit down and write to you and express our gratitude for the fantastic day we had at the Angler's on Saturday 1st. Everything was perfect! From the table settings, flowers, food, wine and Processo. You all did an amazing job. The staff were very attentive but not over bearing and consulted with me on everything. I was so grateful that you guys handled everything and I didn't have to worry about the minute details...in fact we just showed up and everything was in place.

All of the guests commented on the food. "The best food we have ever had at a wedding" etc. They also commented on the decor and how "special" the place felt. The roaring fires added so much to the atmosphere and the shabby chic interior totally matched our own style as a couple, some of the guests figured that we orchestrated it that way! If only they knew!

We cannot say thank you enough, it was a great day (and night for us - we cam back to the Anglers after putting our children safely to bed and the babysitter in place!).

Thank you so much once again and PLEASE pass on our thanks to all the staff which made the day run so smoothly.

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

Dear Mary & Co,

I can't believe how quickly the year has passed since I enjoyed the most gorgeous day of my life; my wedding reception in the Anglers Rest. And I'm embarrassed I never got around to sending a word of thanks to you and all your staff for that day (1st September 2012, Peter & R?is?n) for being so friendly and attentive. There was literally nothing I would change about our experience in the Anglers Rest. The food was simply delicious!

I was prompted to send this email by our recent anniversary dinner (Sat 21st). My only other visit, around my birthday, was lovely. And I'd been dying to go back! Suffice to say, the food and ambiance was perfect and exactly what made me fall in love with the place from the beginning.
So I can only apologise to you all that I never thanked you for all the work that went into our day.
I have some lovely photos of our group outside enjoying the sun that I'll send on to you, as the anglers looks great in them.

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

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