Marco says it best…
“It is our firm belief that great dishes are produced when you select the finest ingredients available and treat them simply and sensitively. We take great care in sourcing only premium Irish ingredients and we visit our producers regularly to ensure standards are maintained. We are confident that this attention to quality will be evident in every mouthful of the food you choose from our menus.”
We offer Restaurant style service in a banqueting setting – something not everyone does. And we do it really well. All our food is prepared fresh and all mains are cooked to order. We take a temperature on all steak orders and our accolades are mounting up!
We consistently get positive feedback from our couples on how happy they were that their guests were able to remain in the same space as there’s no ‘hotel lobby’ for people to escape to therefore everyone unites and has a wonderful time.
The bar itself was refashioned from the old Montrose Hotel in Stillorgan and is an impressive centrepiece of the room. Our team come up with some great innovative offerings, so there’s always a surprise if that’s your thing!
The Owners, Geraldine in particular, are constantly adding interesting finds and pieces to the ambiance, the glamour, the layout, the décor, to keep the venue special and unique. Their dedication and attention to detail feeds down into the team.
As we only cater for one wedding at a time you have our full attention on the day offering you complete flexibility as to your preferred layout, timings, run of play etc. We can even host your ceremony in our beautiful courtyard.
We also offer our guests private use of our Library Room which we keep exclusively for the wedding couple, giving them the opportunity for a moment away from everyone to catch a breath alone.
“We are so glad we chose to get married in Marco Pierre Whites. They were fantastic to deal with and so quick to respond to any queries or changes we needed to make. The food, wine and service on the night was impeccable and everyone was raving about the food! The courtyard area works really well as a reception area and everyone loved the tropical atmosphere with all the plants. It felt like the perfect space for the 130 guests we had. Highly recommend!”
“Dear Rado & Team, Just a quick thank you to you and the team for making Friday (14th November) absolutely perfect. It was seamless from the very beginning and everyone has remarked on the amazing food and service - compliments to the whole team. We had the most special day and everything was just so easy - you have definitely found your calling! We are already looking forward to going back for another feed! Thank you so much again.”
"Myself and my husband had the most perfect wedding at MPW. We can't recommend MPW as a wedding venue enough. They helped us host our dream wedding! Every single step, from the original venue viewing, all the way to the late night food was so professional. We never had to worry about the venue because we just felt like we were in such safe hands. All of their advice was spot on to make it the most perfect, most seamless event! No query, question or problem we had was an issue for them. They were always so quick and reassuring with their responses. We have been getting constant compliments on the food, the wine and the brilliant staff at Marco Pierre White's. They truly made our special day feel extra special!"
We are so happy we chose Marco Pierre White Courtyard Bar and Grill as our wedding venue. The day was perfect. The food was spectacular and despite there being 150 guests at our wedding, the venue still had such an intimate feel. We can not thank Matt and all of his staff enough. We were organising a wedding from abroad and did not have much time for wedding planning but once we had had our first meeting with Matt he took over all the details and all that was left for us to do was to enjoy the day! All of the staff on the night were so friendly and helpful and the service was incredible. We have had so many guests tell us that it was the best the wedding venue they have ever been to. Thank you to all at Marco Pierre Whites for making it such a special day for us.
"The Courtyard restaurant hosted our wedding April 2018. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we knew it was the place for us. The courtyard is just beautiful and it was perfect for pre wedding drinks. We wanted something a little bit different to the normal hotel weddings and The courtyard ticked all the boxes for us. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our menu tasting Matt really looked after us and nothing was too much bother. The day was perfect from start to finish our guests arrived to a Processco and Beer reception in the courtyard. The band set up in advance which was perfect we danced until late and had the most amazing day. Thanks to everyone in the Courtyard for making our day so special."

"We had a great day on 5 May! Everything went really well. The venue looked great – we didn’t do anything extra with the tables and it all looked really simple and elegant! People are still raving about the food – while the steak was always going to be a winner, the crab and the peanut butter and chocolate cake went down a storm. The guys on the ground were great on the night! There were a couple of last minute changes to plans but they facilitated everything really smoothly! We are so glad we chose the venue – with c 100 guests it was exactly what we wanted! Thanks for all your help with the organization!"
"We had the most fantastic day for our wedding at Marco Pierre Whites in Donnybrook. Throughout the whole experience from booking, to food tasting to the day itself the team made everything so easy and stress free for us. On the day itself the venue looked fantastic, the food was delicious, and the staff were just incredible. Everything went off without a hitch and neither of us had to worry about a thing on the day and just enjoyed ourselves with our family and friends. I look forward to returning to the venue for our anniversary."
"A huge thank you to all the team at MPW! We had a really wonderful evening which was down to how relaxed we felt on the night. The staff are true professionals! From start to finish the evening ran like clockwork. This meant all we had to do was enjoy ourselves! Our guests loved the delicious food, the atmosphere and the pure ease of the location. We were so delighted with our choice and would not hesitate to recommend MPW’S! A special thank you to Matt, Lorcan and Trish for all their help. Susie and Chris."
"We would like to thank you all so much for an absolutely incredible wedding reception last Saturday, it exceeded all of our expectations and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. The food and wine was outstanding, our guests are still raving about it! But really it’s the team at MPW that make it so special, thank you again Ciara, Gustavo, Robert and the others whose names we don’t know, for going beyond the call of duty. You all worked so hard that evening looking after everyone but made it look effortless, always smiling and full of good cheer. We felt so comfortable and relaxed on a day which could have been stressful. We look forward to going back soon! Our very best wishes, Chris and Fernando."
