“Both my sister and I had our wedding reception at Roganstown (one in July ‘06 and one in June ‘07) and to say that the day was perfect is an understatement, When we first look at the Hotel we took a deep breath and thought oh this is great but can we afford it , we were delighted to find that the price was very competitive , they have a plan where by you build you own menu. the staff were just wonderful and nothing was too much trouble for them.”

“Our wedding day was a dream come true, everything ran to perfection.”

Hi Guys,
I’m just back from honeymoon a few weeks but I just thought I log on a quick message as we had our wedding reception in Roganstown in September.  Basically I couldn’t praise them enough. all the staff and management went out of their way to make sure our day went without any hiccups and that all our guests were given 100% attention. From when we arrived the hotel was great. the grounds are great for photos both inside and outside. we almost felt like we had rented the hotel for the day, its so small and intimate that we felt like it was our country house for the day. The meal was great, service was excellent. Load’s of staff. food was hot, and yummy.+++  The bedrooms were lovely. kind of modern chic style, with the comfiest beds in the world.

The next morning was so relaxed, there was no rush on guests to check out, and most of our guests went for a swim in their pool to clear the hangover.
Overall we couldn’t have had a better day in Roganstown - So best of luck to all you Roganstown brides.

Hi Breakfast!
We had our wedding at Roganstown in July 2007. This was the only place we wanted to have to host the reception. We had looked around and for some reason something kept drawing us back to there. We still go back the odd Sunday for lunch or dinner. I absolutely LOVE that place. As for the Wedding, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Really knew their stuff. Their menu was stunning which had loads of choice and the wine list was unending. We went for a wine tasting session in the bar in order to choose the wine, and Ciaran the Manager was so helpful…..we even got that for free! Once we had the menu choices chosen, we made a reservation in McLoughlin’s restaurant just off the bar area to sample the meal. It didn’t disappoint. We were so delighted that the food and drink were top notch.

The staff who served the guests on the day were so professional and anything we asked for we got. Couldn’t fault them in any area at all. We had a bar extension and there was sandwiches made for us for the guests (we didn’t request this, but they provided it free) and they also did the same in the residents bar downstairs when the guest who were staying moved down there.

The Bridal Suite was amazing. And the breakfast in bed the next day was delicious.

The place also has beautiful grounds for photos and our photographer made the most of the beautiful landscape and the Japanese gardens nestled in the middle of the hotel. You also get a meal on your 1 year wedding anniversary which was also beautiful.

I would recommend this place to EVERYONE!!!! Roganstown is one of the most beautiful wedding locations EVER. The guests even commented on how lovely it was, as not many even knew it existed.

If you would like to see some photos of the room I had, or the grounds, just drop me a mail and I would be happy to share
