We had our wedding in Poulaphouca, and they really did put on a class act. Evanne, Daniel and all the staff were amazing and the food was next level - all of our guests commented the same. The change of areas between the ceremony, reception, dinner and dancing was truly the highlight, and the views made the amazing photos. I cant recommend this venue enough 10/10

amazing team
We got married in Poulaphouca House & it was absolutely perfect. From the start Evanne & her amazing team were available to answer questions & calm the nerves as the day got closer. We had the most special day, the food, the venue, the wine. Special shout out to Jen who was there on the morning of the wedding, she made everything easy & took any worries away.

Evanne was a brilliant
We held our wedding in Poulaphouca House recently and we couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. In the run up to the big day Evanne was a brilliant help and to have her onsite on the day was amazing. Everything went like clockwork, from the onsite ceremony, to the meal in the barn, to dancing in the ballroom.
