Poulaphouca House and Falls has featured on a popular blog as Wicklow’s leading large wedding venue, giving a boost to the Hollywood hotel after a tough two years.

elebrating the removal of restrictions on the numbers of people than can attend Irish weddings, blog savemyday.ie posted it’s list of the best large wedding venues in Ireland. Poulaphouca was the only Wicklow entry.

Daniel Lewis, co-owner of Poulaphouca House with his wife Claire, said: “We were ecstatic to be listed, especially with the immense work we’ve put in to return the house to its former glory.”

In summer 2020, with no weddings taking place, Poulaphouca began renovating their barn to try to create something beneficial and positive during the pandemic. Covid-19 restrictions were lifted in January and since then new bookings have flooded in.

“While we ran about 25 weddings in 2021 in summer, a lot of those were outside affairs,” said Lewis. “There’s been a real surge in bookings since the January news. In essence we’re almost fully booked for this year, nearly fully booked for 2023, with only a few weekend spots, and have already taken over two dozen bookings for 2024.”

He added: “What makes Poulaphouca so unique is that it’s family run, by an Irish family. My four kids live right on the property on the 35 acres. All our wedding guests who come here see it as their own place, and the place is theirs for the weekend.”
