    Hi all

    I am planning to get married next march. I want to do it cheap and cheerful and was thinking of having my reception as more of a party than a traditional style wedding.

    Hotels are very expensive for what I'm looking for, I was wondering does anyone have any ideas of where would be good to have a party style wedding? Even a nice big function room in a bar or a club. I just want a room with its own bar, room for 120 people, and enough room for a band and dance area.

    Many thanks.

    Hi Elbi

    You could hire out my small farm if you like - we have a lovely restored cottage just outside Newcastle West, with a big main room that is double height, and looks a bit like a chapel with a big feature fireplace. It would packed out at 120, but the big barn would more than accommodate a dancefloor/band, and maybe a chillout type bar in the house - We have a big round top barn and a dairy room as well, all cleaned out now!

    We've been living here a year and are starting up a vegetable smallholding / plant nursery/garden centre with hopefully in the future, a restaurant - think very early stages River Cottage/Ballymaloe lol!

    It would be rustic and charming !

    Hi Tara,

    I know this is a long shot as your post above was years ago but I was just wondering if your premises is still available for hire and could we enquire about it. It sounds amazing. We are looking around to get married next summer and can't find anything like that in Limerick City and County. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Emma

    I know that the People's Museum on Pery Square is used as a casual wedding venue too. It is a lovely space for it, I attended a wedding there awhile back

    I've been at a few private parties in Shannon Rowing Club, the lovely house on Sasfield Bridge. Lovely setting and fantastic photo setting out over the river. Don't know the capacity but worth investigating imo
