Powerscourt Hotel Weddings

We spent 2 nights for our 1st wedding anniversary. From when we arrived, to checkout, the staff couldn’t do enough for us.
The hotel is fab, spotless, and exudes luxury.
The staff are amazing, especially Clea (reception), Jamie (Sika-dinner), and Trinity (Sika-breakfast).
The food blew us away. As vegans we usually have low expectations in order to avoid disappointment. We had THE best 3 course meal in Sika restaurant. It clearly showed thought and effort, plenty of choice, was filling & delicious. Breakfast was also a lovely surprise. The vegetarian breakfast is vegan (no eggs). I’m so glad more hotels are offering vegan sausages. We asked if any pastries were vegan. We got the usual answer that no they weren’t. However, Trinity, returned with a plate of sweet treats (flapjacks & choc tart) served with a selection of berries. This is 5* service! The only issue we had was in the bar. It’s the same vegan menu from Sika (fine dining), but we were after something more casual - curry/burger. A tweak to the menu in this regard would really make Powerscourt a vegan paradise.
You can do as little or as much as you want. The pool is relaxing & calming & we also used the hotel bikes to cycle around the estate, house and gardens. There are nice walks and the waterfall is a short drive. We also did the Greystones-Bray Cliff walk.
We don’t stay in hotels more than once as we like to try new places, but we would return to Powerscourt in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary.

Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last week in this hotel.Upgraded to a suite overlooking beautiful gardens and water fountain which was fabulous. Rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. Food was lovely, good choice on all the menus and reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel.Staff were welcoming and very pleasant and courteous. Lovely walks within the estate, recommend the river walk but be prepared for a long uphill on the way back. Everywhere was spot leaned plenty of handheld wherever they are needed.

"We had the best time planning our wedding at Powerscourt Hotel and loved going down to meet Alma. It felt like we had a friend helping us plan the wedding and that personal touch really made us feel special. We were looking for any excuse to come down and visit ahead of the big day. We got a list of suggested suppliers and Alma helped us put our own stamp on the day. Ahead of the day, Alma made contact with all our suppliers, which meant we didn’t need to stress as much about timings and making sure everything arrived on time.

We got stunning photos from around the grounds, with the Sugar Loaf in the background. We were spoiled for choice with lovely photos of the beautiful scenery around the woodlands and the secret garden. The food was delicious and the Christmas decor really added to the atmosphere . It was a day i’ll never forget and I’d highly recommend a Powerscourt Hotel wedding. Thanks again Alma for all your hard work. Can’t wait to visit again soon."

"Powerscourt was the dream location for a wedding. From start to finish the level of professionalism shown by the staff was outstanding. There is no other hotel in Ireland with as stunning a backdrop for the celebration, something that really stood out in our photos! From the day we booked the venue we were treated to the best in the hospitality, exceptional food and exceptional service. The selling point for us was the hotel Ballroom. We visited a lot of hotels before we viewed Powerscourt and without question, it has the finest ballroom in the country. The Ballroom hosted our 200+ guests perfectly allowing for plenty of space for dancing without having to move our guests around after the meal. The hotel ensured that everything went perfectly on the day thanks to the wonderful wedding coordinator Alma Kenny! I couldn’t recommend the hotel enough!"

"From the moment we walked into Powerscourt Hotel we knew this was the wedding venue for us. The hotel’s setting with panoramic views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the incredible food, staff and service makes it the ultimate five star experience.

Alma and the hotel team were incredible to deal with from day one with every single detail taken care of which made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free.

We have been inundated with messages of thanks from guests at our wedding who have had nothing but praise for the food, venue and service shown on the day. We are so glad we chose Powerscourt Hotel for our wedding reception and we can’t wait to return for a visit."

"Getting married at Powerscourt was a dream – not just because of the stunning, wild countryside views or the beautiful Five Star interiors of the hotel, but because of the team working to make sure every detail was carried off to perfection.

From the morning of my wedding till (very late!) that night,as a bride I was personally minded by the incredible Alma, who was at my side, gently directing the action, so that I could just relax and enjoy. An awful lot of preparation obviously goes into a wedding and knowing that thanks to the Powerscourt team so much of it will be fun, and knowing that you'll be looked after so well at the finish line, is the best kind of comfort. I heartily recommend them."
