A closer look
A place with character.
Poulaphouca has been in the same family since 1893 and now runs weddings around a new barn, with woodland, water and the falls themselves on the property. Ceremonies happen outdoors on site and the estate is taken exclusively.
It is 45 minutes from Dublin near Blessington, which makes it one of the easier country venues for city guests. Accommodation is available on site and all inclusive packages exist.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Is the barn heated, and what is the wet weather plan for the ceremony?
