Couples dreaming of a wedding venue that blends extraordinary history, luxurious comfort and warm family-run hospitality are invited to experience it all firsthand at The Station House Hotel Wedding Showcase on January 17th and 18th. Less than 40 minutes from Dublin, this enchanting country house venue in Kilmessan, Co. Meath offers a rare opportunity to explore a setting unlike any other; an 1862 railway station transformed into one of Ireland’s most distinctive wedding destinations.
Steeped in character and lovingly restored by the Slattery family, who have welcomed couples for more than four decades, The Station House embodies a standard of service where every detail is treated with care. As proud members of Ireland’s Blue Book, the team offers an elevated experience from the moment you arrive, inviting you to step into a world where heritage meets contemporary style. The hotel’s design, inspired by global travels from India to Istanbul, adds a layer of sophistication and charm to its innate Irish country warmth, creating a wedding backdrop that feels both luxurious and utterly unique.
During the showcase, couples will experience the venue exactly as their guests would, wandering through 12 acres of manicured gardens and woodland, discovering ceremony spaces such as The Turntable – a magical forest clearing steeped in romance – and exploring reception spaces including The Carriage Suite, a dazzling room with sparkling chandeliers that seats up to 180 guests. Those dreaming of a smaller affair can step into The Signal Restaurant, an intimate venue for up to 60 guests, where refined dining and soft lighting create the perfect atmosphere for close celebrations.
The Station House is celebrated for its exceptional food, crafted with a dedication to local provenance and sustainability. With ingredients sourced from nearby farms, artisan producers and long-standing partners, including a chemical-free farm in Kilmessan, a tasting at the showcase offers a glimpse into the award-winning culinary experience couples can expect. The hotel’s accolades speak for themselves, having earned two Gold Medals and a Silver Medal at the Virgin Media Hotel Awards and shortlisted twice for Best Restaurant Leinster with Food & Wine Ireland.
Visitors will also have the chance to view the venue’s exquisite accommodation, including the remarkable Signal Suite, an original two-storey signal box transformed into a luxurious private hideaway, and the elegant Station Master’s Suite, famed for its sash windows and iconic pre-wedding photo spots.
With 19 bedrooms reserved exclusively for your wedding party, the hotel offers a private retreat for up to 39 guests, complete with thoughtful touches like handmade chocolates, organic VOYA products and indulgent à la carte breakfasts.
This appointment-only showcase is the perfect opportunity to imagine your wedding day in a setting rich with charm, history and impeccable style.
