Meet the team

It is a pleasure to introduce our team here at Powerscourt House & Feast Catering. It is our ultimate aim to provide a highly personalised service at the very best quality. It is always nice to see the faces behind the emails and telephone calls - so here we are!

Carmel Byrne



Carmel has worked in nearly every industry you can imagine from printing, pharmaceuticals, architecture and timber framed homes to EU irrigation projects in Russia. Having spent some time in the USA in her early twenties and working in Australia for over two years she has gained experience in all aspects of administration, customer service, tourism and is known to be quite internet savvy too! Her passion for her children lead her to do a course in Child Development this year and she hopes to continue her study in 2013.

Carmel is the first point of contact for our wedding couples and she is happy to talk you through the initial process and forward any information you require.
