Hello all, I am back with my Wedding Venue Feature. This time the spotlight is on Roganstown Hotel & Country Club Now this venue is very close to my heart as we had our wedding reception here in 2011.

On our wedding day |
We still go back when we can for dinner or a night away and it still holds the magic of our wedding day. I have included some images of our wedding day in this post so you can get a really good feel of the venue. From our experience, everything was perfect from the planning, food, service and care that both ourselves and our guests received.

Arriving on our wedding day |
A few weeks ago I headed out to Roganstown for their showcase evening. At a showcase evening, you get to see a venue setup for a wedding. There are no suppliers present at a showcase, you get time to chat with the wedding team in a very relaxed setting. If you fall in love with the venue you can book your wedding date at the showcase.

Roganstown is a restored Country House and is located in the countryside of North Dublin just outside of Swords. It is amazing as you are in the center of everything, yet you feel like you are miles away from it all once there.
One of my favorite views is when driving up to Roganstown and seeing the beautiful house and grounds appear from the road on approach. I remember driving up when we were viewing the venue and thinking, WOW, this is just gorgeous.
The hotel is surrounded by an 18 hole golf course so you can imagine how immaculate the grounds are. The hotel also offers a full spa and you can view the treatments here.

When I was at the showcase The Green Room was set up for an intimate civil ceremony. The Aungier Suite can also cater for a civil ceremony, especially if you have larger numbers.There is an area in front of the house that could be setup for an outdoor ceremony, so beautiful against the backdrop of the house and grounds.

O'Calllaghans Bar accommodates a large group, making it easy for your guests to mingle when they arrive. You can also get your wedding photographs taken on the grounds, so there really is no need to stop off anywhere else.

The Aungier Suite has a balcony that overlooks the stunning landscape. The suite overlooks the grounds and the Japanese Gardens, another great location for pictures.

The Aungier Suite also has a bar and toilets located in the room. You might think, why is this important? It worked out really well as our guests did not have to the leave the room throughout the evening. This helped to retain the atmosphere and energy of our wedding.
