Wedding at Summerhill House Hotel

VickiG

Hi,

We're thinking of having our wedding reception at SummerHill House Hotel in Enniskerry. Has anyone been to a wedding there? Any reviews? Good or bad?

Thanks

You will probably get mixed reviews on there but I found it really nice to shoot a wedding there. Food was really nice and loads of places for pictures (thats pretty much all I need for a good venue) Staff were very helpful, even when I went there one Monday to have a look around. I should have a some pictures from there i will post up later.

Id recommend it, I was bridesmaid at a wedding there and the venue was lovely.

It is a few years since I have been at a wedding there but we found the venue lovely but a complete lack of service.

I was at a wedding there about two years ago. It's a lovely country hotel, so you have to take it for what it is. I wasn't keen on our accomodation which was in a new-ish block at the back of the hotel. Food and drink were good, what I experianced of the service was also good and the gardens are lovely, great for photos on the day if you get the good weather. I would prefer it to the more modern, purpose built hotels myself.

Paid 21 euro for tea for seven people there. Two tea bags in a large pot!!

Not only did I find it a rip off, but service is near dreadful.

Hi, my mum was at a wedding there earlier in the year, she said it was nice, but there was no soap etc in the bedrooms and she thought the rooms were very cold and on chatting to one of the waitresses the next morning, its not in use between weddings and fuctions (certainly during the winter, not sure about the summer)

Hello, sorry for resurrecting the thread but are going to view here as a potential venue for either a June or late August/early September venue ourselves and were looking for some feedback if anyone decided to have their wedding here.

Looks lovely from photos and sounds good from the comments in this thread, Boards is a good place for honest feedback rather than testimonies and whatnot.

We viewed it in February. As you say it looks lovely in photos but we were disappointed when we went. The reception room was fine but the outside of the hotel and other parts could do with a lick of paint.

We decided on somewhere else in the end.

Stayed here for a weekend and seen a wedding so a last year when we got engaged we went back to look at it as we enjoyed it for the weekend away. A little disappointed tbh, we went elsewhere but the package was decent they offered, the flow didn't seem great for a civil ceremony. Gardens are lovely, from speaking to another couple who went to a wedding there last year they said service wasn't brilliant and the wait between getting seated and between courses was very long.

Attended a wedding here several years ago and wouldn't be my cup of tea.
Found it quite basic to be honest.

Had our wedding reception there but I don't think a review from 1986 would help you any ðŸ˜. Was very nice though

It's been 6 years since I was last there for a wedding, but the two weddings I did go to there were lovely. Beautiful venue and the food was lovely.

Know someone who got married there and thought it was amazing. We checked it out for our wedding and unfortunately found the lack of attention from the coordinator appalling. She didn't offer to show us around, not even a cup of tea on arrival. Took ages to get a hold of her even though we'd made an appointment, I just got an awful vibe from her so we just left... my 2cents.

Cheers for all the advice folks. We've pretty much decided to go with Cabra Castle in Cavan. Similar price. We really did like Summerhill House and Cabra Castle was the last place we were going to look at before going for Summerhill House but got won over by the castle.
