Small wedding reception venue in or near Dublin

mambo

Anyone got recommendations for a venue (restaurant or hotel) for a small wedding reception in or near Dublin (within semi-circle from Malahide to Bray). These are our main criteria:

* Meal for 30-40 people, good quality food, preferably with a choice for the guests
* Space for dancing/DJ after the meal, with maybe another 30 people for the "afters"
* Separate lounge/area for the older folk to get away from the loud music
* Nice location, maybe with a sea view (Howth, Malahide, etc.) or at least not right in the city centre
* If it can accommodate a civil ceremony, that may be of interest too

We know about Fallon & Byrne. Any other suggestions?

Beauford mews in stillorgan right size, little dancefloor an all.

Some of the restarunts might take you but I dont think 30-40 I enough for them to let you take it over for the night to have dancing as well. You could try carusos in malahide though.

Clontarf castle hotel do civil ceremonies, they have a few function rooms and a bar and restaurant that you can book depending on the size of the group.

If you want something good food wise, L'Ecrivain

Beaufield Mews is a good option too. I think you'll find that most good restuarants cater for weddings
