We are just back from our magical wedding in Luttrellstown Castle and I cannot emphasise enough how if you are fortunate enough to be able to choose Luttrellstown as your venue, it will be the best choice you will make in all of your wedding experience. Luttrellstown truly holds a special place in my heart and I’m a little emotional writing this. Firstly, the resort is just out of this world and we feel so grateful to have been able to choose it and get a date we wanted. To the American clientele especially - it’s important to note that everything is available at this venue - food, drinks, service, accommodation, a ceremony hall and even a coordinator…an entire falconry display should you wish to include that. You do not have to organise everything separately. The venue works regularly with the best vendors in Ireland who know it well (and who all will tell you it’s their favourite venue in Ireland) and they have great relationships with them which I think is a green flag all around. Although it is of course a luxury venue, having looked at a few other places we felt it truly was the best VALUE for our wedding for all of the support and extra magic that came with it. We chose to have our wedding in autumn when the leaves were turning which made for a stunning setting with the Virginia creeper on the castle and photos capturing the essence of my favourite season in my home of Dublin. The food was absolutely magnificent and far above the quality of any wedding I have ever been to. We were treated to a beautiful intimate tasting back in February where the chef and staff insisted on giving us full portions of everything and really wanted our input on any changes we would like made to the dishes which I thought was a lovely personal touch, they were completely flexible. We had a true Irish welcome at Luttrellstown from the get go, the staff couldn’t do enough for us and really went out of their way to make us feel special. A lot of my wedding planning experience was in the US and so I’m used to being upsold and everything costing extra nonsense fees - the bridal tax over here is very real and sometimes it has made me feel more like a commodity than a person with feelings. Working with Luttrellstown was a breath of fresh air in that regard, they made us feel like they genuinely cared about our journey and wanted us to be happy, they did loads of little extra things like offer to print out menus and placenames and letting us choose our cheeses for a cheese platter, even when we asked if the chef could put some writing on our cake that was totally fine…they generally had an above and beyond approach and we got the feeling it was because they were genuinely invested in us having a wonderful day that was personal to us and reflected us as a couple. I am a person who puts a lot of pressure on myself and after the wedding planning experience, I realise I am also inherently a people pleaser - key ingredients in the recipe for a very stressed out bride!
