An Autumn Wedding 2013


September Wedding at Powerscourt House




I am a real romantic at heart and I think the season that evokes it more than any other is Autumn! The crisp clear days, the frost kissed grass and the fantastic patchwork of colour!

Gillian and Alan Carroll were married at Powerscourt in September 2013 - here's what they had to say;


Firstly I would like to thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day go as smoothly as it did. 

I can't praise you enough for all of your help. From when both Gillian and I went to view Powerscourt as a possible venue for our wedding reception to the day itself. From the very start you made us feel welcome and that anything was possible with this dream location and venue. 



From the number of meetings we had you were always accommodating to our wishes and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process which took a lot a pressure off both of us. 

From giving us options to where to put the band to what the room would look like on the day, you painted a very clear picture of what we would see upon our arrival on our wedding day. We would like to thank you for our tasting day as well, the food and options you gave us were amazing and you exceeded all of our expectations. You helped us come up with a fantastic menu with delicious food that we have received so many compliments about, but this is something we cannot take the credit for, it was however amazing and we were delighted to have all the various components that we wanted, including our extra dessert!  
Upon arrival to Powerscourt Annette was waiting there to instruct the driver of our car where to park the car. Once we stepped out of the car she was there waiting with two glasses of champagne. The rest of the Feast staff were at hand to serve the rest of our guests.



Our photographer brought the both of us off for our first session of photographs but once we were finished Annette was waiting there with our favorite canapé.

As the dinner bell rang the Feast staff ushered our guests into the dining hall but Annette took us to one side and brought us to our own private room to have a few moments to ourself before our introduction. Inside the room was a bottle of champagne and again, our favorite canapĂ©. Nice touch. Annette came to tell us that it was time to enter the hall but before she opened the door she told us exactly how to reach our table through all of the people. Throughout the meal Annette kept a close eye on us and checked every so often that we were ok. She arrived with the microphone each time we wished to make a speech so we didn't need to worry about timing. 




When it was time to go the staff were nice enough to contact our hotel to arrange a car to pick us up. 

We have received nothing but compliments about the venue, the service and especially the quality of the food.


It was the attention to detail and the small things that added such special touches to the service we received from Annette and the staff at Feast on our wedding day. I could not recommend them enough.

Wedding Caricatures - Niall O'Loughlin





Capturing Personalities....

I had never come across this idea before until I found one in my post box recently. A lovely wedding invitation, but with a difference, it was a caricature of the lovely couple.


Wedding Guest Board


I thought it was a wonderful idea as it really captured their personalities. I then started to do a little research and came across a great artist called Niall O'Loughlin.

Niall is regarded as the No. 1 caricaturist in Ireland. Niall enjoys sell-out exhibitions and has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows including the Saturday Night show and completed commissions for many well known celebrities from both Ireland and abroad.


Thank You Cards


There are lots of different options available for your wedding from the full suite of wedding stationery including invites, rsvp cards and thank you cards. There is also the option of having a caricature as a guest board and of course the ultimate is to have Niall at your wedding doing hilarious caricatures of your guests.


Bridesmaid Gifts


Caricatures are also the ideal gift for wedding couples and also the bridal party. Niall's caricatures can be subtle or as exaggerated as you like!









As it is almost impossible to price a caricature without knowing exactly what the client wants, Niall will try and tailor each caricature to suit peoples budgets and requirements. There are so many different options regarding pricing, size, colour, black and white etc. If you email Niall with a rough estimate of your budget, he will be happy to advise you.
