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!

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!!

We had such an amazing day getting married at Anglers Rest, Agata and Anna were incredible at coordinating the whole thing and putting us at ease with any little question or request. We were relaxed the whole day. The decorations they provide are stunning and everyone was raving about the venue and the food. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend here, couldn't have asked for a better venue and day.

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.

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 .

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

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.

From our first viewing to collecting our last bits after the wedding, dealing with the Anglers Rest was an absolute pleasure - Agata is extremely kind and personable, and handled all queries and requests quickly. No details were forgotten or overlooked. The prices are very resonable compared to a lot of other venues we looked at. The venue goes above and beyond to prepare for your big day, including decorating your tables for you which takes out so much worry and stress ahead of the day! The staff, Izabella, Anna, Amelie were all so kind and lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I were so delighted with our big day and wish we could do it all over again.

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.

When we visited Anglers Rest, my husband and I just fell in love with the charming, cosey and welcoming atmosphere. It was exactly the place we were looking to host our special day. We cannot thank and praise enough the high standard of professionalism and outstanding service the team in Anglers Rest gave us. We want to say a huge thank you to ?gata, our main lead lady in Anglers Rest. She always welcomed us with a hug and a warm smile. She has done so much for us, she was so prompt with her responses and always made a way for things to be done, even at the last minute. No job was too big for ?gata, and went above and beyond to make our day very special. On our wedding day, all the staff were so kind and welcoming. We felt at home in Anglers Rest. This was what we wanted and wanted for our guests. We are so blessed to have had our special day in Anglers Rest. The food is second to none, the venue is spacious and boasting of charm and comfort, with beautiful open fires lit. There is a outdoor terrace area for those who want to socialise outside with lovely seating and heaters. The decor through out is so beautiful and they staff really pulled some beautiful wedding decor out do the bag. Which just added to it's existing charm. We felt so relaxed and so did our guests. It was the most fun and relaxed wedding that we could have hoped for and Anglers Rest really helped to make that happen for us. I would highly recommend this beautiful venue, next to the stunning Phoenix Park, your No. 1 choice for your special day. All our love to ?gata and all the team in Anglers Rest, thank you so very much, from Marilyn and Jorge Caya xxxx

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.

I honestly have no words to describe how amazing our wedding was at the Angler's Rest. Before we signed the contract, Jenny was amazing and extremely accommodating. She was fast in answering all of our queries in no time, which made us super confident in having the wedding with them. After choosing the venue, we were looked after by Betty, mostly, who was the sweetest. My bride brain made me mix up a few things on the wedding day, and she went above and beyond to make sure all was sorted and that we could enjoy every bit of our day.
Apart from all the help we had from them, the food is absolutely delicious. The venue is intimate, and perfect for mid sized weddings, like ours (75 guests).The day of the wedding, Betty made sure to organize things so everything would be perfect. It's like she had known us for years.
I cannot recommend them enough.

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.

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.

We got married in anglers rest on the 30.04.23 and from the very start with dealing with the venue they were amazing. From booking with Jenny to meeting the wedding organiser, agata was stress free . Agata was honestly the best wedding planner anyone would ask for, she is just amazing? any question we had or request her response was always ?no problem? she made our day so special and we cannot thank her enough. You can see she loves her job and she is honestly the best at it. All staff at anglers on the day were fantastic and made the day run smoothly. The perfect venue for a small intimate wedding.

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.

When thinking about what to say about Agata and her expert team at the Angler's Rest, all we can do is gush our forever thanks and recommend them without a shred of doubt for your wedding day. The venue, atmosphere, decorations, food, drinks etc etc were beyond anything we could have ever imagined or wished for. We have received endless compliments from our guests (including a rake of internationals!) about how much they enjoyed everything, and how the Angler's blew their mind for a full Irish wedding experience. They deserve, and earn, every and all awards that come their way.

In particular, we cannot leave this review without resounding praise for the woman who runs the show so kindly, professionally and calmly ? Agata. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in good hands and she patiently answered any query we had and provided expert advice on numbers, set-up, payments, cheese decorations (!) and timings. Besides all this, she injected fun, positive energy and craic into all of the arrangements and took all of the stress out for us. Our tasting experience was like sitting back with a dear friend to thrash out the final details of the day and you can just see how much each event means to her before, during and even after the experience. Agata will greet you with the biggest smile and warmth on the day, and even tear up when you are saying your goodbyes and thanking her for everything the day after.

So overall, we can honestly say we had the BEST wedding day with them and time that we will treasure forever. We now look forward to visiting the Angler's Rest for dinner to celebrate every anniversary (preferably on a monthly basis!) for years to come?and maybe even with Agata at our table!! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We wanted a cosy, welcoming atmosphere where our guests could relax and have a great time and the Angler's Rest staff went above and beyond to provide that. The venue is gorgeous, the food is delicious and unlike other venues I spoke to and researched Agata and the staff were flexible and happy to change things around to suit us. To have such a beautiful Dubln venue with a country feel is so special, we took our photos in grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham before the ceremony but drove through the Phoenix park and spotted lots of dear en route to the venue which was so special for family from abroud to see. The only thing we would have changed would have been to have lower minimum numbers considering it was off season but at least the minimum was much more reasonable than other venues.

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!

Agata was amazing, so relaxed and helpful. Really put us at ease. Venue were incredibly flexible & accommodating. Service / timings were perfect. We went a bit rogue on the speech timings which could have interrupted the dinner service, but the staff we're on the ball and no interruption was had. The flowers the venue did for us were gorgeous, we didn't have a florist and we didn't need one, the venue did such a good job. I would recommend everyone to get married in Anglers Rest. Thank you to all the staff for making our day so special

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.

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.

Since we first spoke & met early January with Agata we were made feel relaxed about the run up to our wedding! We loved everything on the day!

Had my wedding reception here on the 12th Feb, and picking this venue was one of the best choices we could have made. Agata went above and beyond for all our needs, there was keen attention to detail in regards to our taste in decorations. The fresh flowers were such a nice touch! The place just looked perfect.

The food was just stunning (will definitely be a regular place to have a meal out)! And at not a bad price at all!

I really can't sing this places praises enough. If you're looking for an intimate, fun, beautiful, quirky, and just awesome wedding venue this is a place to check out!

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!!!

Good food was one of the main reasons my husband and I chose Angler's Rest as our wedding venue, as you get an excellent selection to choose from and everything on the menu is utterly delicious. However, what we also got with Angler's Rest was a cosy venue, with a completely relaxed atmosphere, a ceremony and reception room that was beautifully decorated, and how we were treated on the day that was second to none. We felt completely spoilt the entire time and it felt like every member of staff who was there just wanted to make sure we had the best day possible. And we did. Our sincere thanks goes to Agata, Oliver, and all the staff on the day. We appreciated everything so much.

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.

After so many changes we managed to have our special day in the Anglers Rest. With only six guests allowed due to COVID restrictions, we had a beautiful wedding surrounded by close family. Jennie, Gemma, Marco, Gabi, the Chef and other members of staff worked really hard to give us and our guests the best experience. They decorated my cake table as per my instructions and the dinning tables also looked beautiful! The food was divine and the service impeccable! The staff was so kind and helpful, we felt really relaxed and comfortable on the day because we knew they had everything under control. We had our first date in the Anglers Rest 7 years ago so having our wedding there was very meaningful and special!

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.

We got married on 14 December, 2020 originally we were due to get married in 2021 but decided to go earlier and have 25 people, save on costs and give everyone we could the day out! Anglers accommodated this change and were honestly so responsive and accommodating, Alison was so helpful and assisted me in finding a DJ at last minute and arranged my bouquets, the venue was fantastically decorated and Alison did a great job using our decorations and the ones already available in the venue, the food was fantastic, the lay out was great for such a small wedding they laid out the tables in such a way we really filled the room! I couldn't recommend the venue enough but most definitely the highlight was having Alison for a wedding co ordinator! If I ever marry again lol il be doing it here!

We had our day in March and are eternally grateful we pulled it off. From the moment I contacted the Angler's Rest in August 2019 right through the planning and afterwards I have nothing but compliments for their staff. Every question was answered, fears allayed and all of the little details perfected. Alison is so much fun but also we always felt we were in the most capable pair of hands.
The venue was exactly what we hoped for - fun, quirky and relaxed with the BEST food. At no point did we feel pressurised to make any decisions or upgrade and were carefully guided in crafting our perfect day.
We will always remember the kindness of the staff especially with all of the stress and worry in the last few days.
As my mum's friend said -" if she was getting married again she'd want it in the Angler's" Shane and I agree and can't wait to get a big crew back for a great celebration when all of this is over.
Thank you Alison, Ewa, Johnnie and all of the rest of the staff!

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!

Overall Angler's was a beautiful venue for our wedding. We had the ceremony there too and it was stunning. The food was amazing and in the lead up to the big day the wedding coordinators were always on hand and were a great support. Every single person commented on how gorgeous everything was so we were really pleased with that. Our only qualm was the time keeping on the day. The ceremony was delayed by 30 minutes because the speaker for the music wasn't set up. The meal was almost an hour delayed as well which meant it was quite rushed as other guests were arrived. This was really disappointing for us. There was also an issue with the speaker during the meal so we had no music until the DJ arrived at 9. A few of our guests had issues ordering drinks and we were waiting until nearly midnight to cut the cake and serve it. So, these were some annoyances that left us a bit stressed on the day. Aside from these issues, we had a great day.

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.

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.

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 planned our wedding from abroad but Alison, Ewa-Aga and the rest of the team made it so easy and stress free. Any time we were home they were happy for us to pop in to have another look at the space, discuss logistics, do menu tastings etc. Alison is such a gem and her flowers were incredible, exactly what I?d pictured!

I (the bride) have severe food allergies, including shellfish, but my mind was completely put at ease which was a huge relief, especially having chosen a seafood restaurant! All our guests absolutely adored the food.

Location is perfect for some beautiful photos near the river or in the Phoenix Park. Would recommend The Anglers Rest for anybody looking for a venue with a bit of vintage charm and incredible food!

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 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!

Fab venue just the right amount of cosy glamour, gorgeous food that all of our guests (who included a lot of French foodies!) found delicious. Eww and the team were so accommodating and professional even though we were a small-ish party it made no difference in the top quality of service we received. The venue itself was gorgeous without being pretentious just class and I would have no hesitation in vouching for these guys.

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.

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.

I got married on April fools day at the Anglers Rest. We just had the BEST day ever. The staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with, the food was amazing and just a stunning rustic venue. They made our day and every single one of my guests loved it. None of them had been at the Anglers before, but some have already gone back.
If you're looking for a venue for a small wedding as we were this is ideal. Unpretentious and stunning with excellent food. Flawless. We loved the decor,the service, the log fire, the staff, the food. Loved it.

We had our wedding at the Angler's Rest in March 2019. Given, I'm based in Scotland, the whole process from beginning to end was really very seamless that and that was with a change of personnel two weeks from our wedding date, as Noeleen, our planner, had left. I'm glad to say that her replacement was well up to speed on everything and the day went superbly. The quaint little ceremony room was perfect for our humanist service. We brought our own prosecco and canapés which they laid out for us and bulked it up with some of their own fine home made fare. The meal was fantastic (choice of 3 mains!), the wine was great and the service was first class. We bought our own tiered cheesecake and crackers, chutneys etc for later on and that was laid out beautifully for us. The place didn't require much extra d?cor due to it's old world charm. The venue provided flowers for the tables and I only had to add a few bits and pieces. I really wanted it quite fuss free. The only thing I would mention is that we had 120 at the venue, I knew it would be a big crowd in a small space (that's what I wanted) but for dinner it was a bit tight. The upstairs was quite warm so we had to ask for the windows to be open. This didn't take from our experience. The wee bar area and dance floor was hopping all night. Due to an unfortunate sickness epidemic in our wedding party we had about 12 guests that couldn't make it. We were refunded for their meals no problem. I'd happy recommend the Angler's Rest if you're looking for something unusual, quirky and really very special. We can't wait to go back and visit.

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!

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.

Absolutely beautiful top class venue. Alison the wedding organizer was so helpful and friendly and runs a tight ship. Everything ran smoothly. We live abroad and organized everything remotely and the team make it so easy. The food was amazing and all the guests were raving about it . The fact that you have the whole floor running from bar to dining area to terrace is great as provides a very intimate and cosy environment where everyone gets to chat as opposed to a big cold informal. hotel . The day couldn't have gone any better and recommend with no hesitation. A big thank you again for making our special day even more special.

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.

We had our wedding in the Anglers Rest 3 weeks ago & couldn't be happier. The price was very competitive & reasonable, the food was outstanding, service great & the general set-up & ambience were all fantastic. We also had our ceremony in the same place & the room was ideal. The style & relaxed feel of the Anglers Rest fitted perfectly with what we wanted for our day & everything went swimmingly. We have absolutely no regrets about chosing the Anglers Rest & would chose it again in a heart beat! Our guests commented on how great the entire wedding, mainly about how perfect the venue & food were. If you're considering the Anglers Rest our advice is stop considering & just book it, you won't regret it for a second!!

Hi Claire, Firstly thank you for taking the time to post such a wonderful review, it makes everything worthwhile when we get such amazing feedback. I'm delighted you hosted your ceremony with us, its becoming a very popular option & gives you more time with your guests. Wedding days pass so quickly its important to enjoy as much time with your friends & family as possible. With the Phoenix park only minutes away this makes a beautiful backdrop to the wedding photos & again doesn't mean much time away from your guests.
Its great to hear your guests enjoyed the wedding & venue so much, always nice compliment for you as its a big decision choosing the perfect venue.

Thank you so much Aiofe, what an amazing review. I'm delighted to hear you had a wonderful wedding day with us at the Anglers Rest, its is truly a stunning venue, especially if you are looking for something intimate & different. The style of our Phoenix Room is described as rustic, French shabby chic but I think it has to be seen to appreciate its beauty, everyone falls in love with it. From the unique history of the building to the open log fires, this all ads to the magical ambience. We are delighted so many of our weddings book after eating in our award winning restaurant, its a great compliment. I will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to Noeleen & her team, they do a fantastic job but it was our pleasure to host your special day. Thank you for the recommendation, highest praise one can get. Best Wishes & if there is anything we can do for you in the future please let me know.

All round fabulous venue. I knew I didn't want the typical function room wedding and I got what I wanted at Anglers Rest which felt more like just a big party with all our nearest and dearest. It was so intimate even with 110 guests. We had the service and the reception there and Noeleen and her team were fabulous from the initial booking right up to the big day. The food is out of this world and many of our guests have been back since for lunch. Would highly recommend Niall Dalton the DJ that plays at Anglers Rest regularly. We didn't have a band, just Niall and it worked out perfectly.

Our wedding in the Angler's Rest was nothing short of fantastic!
We cannot recommend this venue enough. Upon viewing for the
first time we fell immediately in love. In fact it ended up being the
one and only venue we visited. We felt so comfortable from the
offset. It's so homely, facilitates a humanist wedding, is located
close to town yet retains a country quality and the wood fire is a
glorious touch! The staff, and in particular Noeleen Doyle, were
incredibly accommodating and benevolent. All our guests had a
wonderful day and eulogized vastly about the superb meal. Perfect
setting for our perfect day!

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.

I cannot fault the Anglers Rest in anyway, the way they looked after us from start to finish was excellent. Noeleen and the team could not do enough for us on the run up to our day and also on the day, nothing was a hassle for them. As for the food all we got from our family and friends were top marks, they said they never had food like it at a wedding and that our wedding day was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and that was thanks to the Anglers Rest. Our wedding turned out to be exactly how we imagined it would be.
I would recommend The Anglers Rest to anyone wanting a beautiful wedding.

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...

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.

The Anglers Rest was a brilliant location for our wedding. It had a relaxed atmosphere and the staff also paid attention to every special detail on the day. Noeleen was a fantastic wedding coordinator. She made the day very easy to organise, even though we were coming all the way from Australia.

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,

We had a wonderful day at The angler's Rest. The venue is absolutely beautiful and suited our needs perfectly! We held our ceremony and dinner there before moving to a bigger venue in Dublin city centre for the dancing part of the evening. We could not have hoped for nicer food, surroundings and decor. Noeleen and her team were so super helpful on the day and all of our guests were delighted with the gorgeous food! I should also make a point of saying that the per head price was the most reasonable we found there was great menu choice and the food is absolutely top notch!
Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Response from Wrights Anglers Rest

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
Response from Wrights Anglers Rest
Hi Lana & Alan, I know its awhile since you posted this great review but I wanted to let you know we appreciate your feedback. Its always nice to hear that our hard work paid off & you all enjoyed your day. So many of our couples do what you did & host their ceremony with us, its a great option & gives you a bit longer to enjoy time with your guests. As all Brides & Grooms know the day flies by and if you can cut out any travel time between ceremony & afters venues its ideal. Also as we are so close to the Pheonix Park theres no need to go far to get the most amazing photographs taken. I'm so pleased that we made your day special & all your lovely praise for Noeleen & the staff. I hope you have managed to get back to The Anglers Rest this summer & enjoy a meal or drink on our terrace in the sunshine!

We had a small wedding and had our reception upstairs in The Angler's Rest. The food, service and venue was superb! The food was and always is amazing. We have eaten here several times and absolutely love the food, wine, atmosphere and service. Thank you all so much for making our big day so special with all your efforts. The venue is so stunning for a wedding and our guests still comment on what a beautiful setting it is. Definitely 5 star service from everyone there!

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).

For our wedding, we really wanted something warm and inviting. I love the US store Anthropologie and The Anglers Rest really captured that exact vibe. Mary is very easy to work with an incredibly knowledgable.

Pros:
+ food - the best. You will be hard pressed to find better food.
+ Outdoor space
+ Environment - the fireplaces, vintage furnishings, very charming and cozy
+ Flexibility - they were willing to work with us to make things affordable, we had a whiskey bar, a trad band, a DJ, irish dancers, our own decor, etc. The team did an incredible job
+ Mary - she is incredibly helpful, knows great vendors, and can coordinate a lot of the details on the day of the wedding

Everyone who attended could not stop talking about the amazing the venue and food. The feedback from many, many attendees was that it was the best. A lot of that had to do with the venue.

Could not more speak more highly of The Anglers Rest

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

Hi Mary,



We just wanted to touch base with you now that the dust has settled and the honeymoon is over :D



Thank you so much for such an amazing wedding in the Angler's. It was exactly as we hoped it would be and everyone really enjoyed the day. Our ceremony was so special in the lovely room upstairs and the flowers you set out were abso gorgeous.

Oliver, Tom and all the staff were so brilliant. The food was fantastic.



You were so lovely to work with and so helpful with everything. I'd highly recommend the Angler's as an intimate wedding venue to anyone.

Thanks again and we'll definitely be back soon :)



All the best,

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!!
When people talk of wedding days being stressful we don't know what they mean. At the Angler's Rest you are the "One and Only". A sumptuous meal, tailored to individual needs, a traditional, relaxed feel in an intimate setting. It was a city wedding with a country feel. People still talk to us of the wonderful day at the Angler's Rest.
