    Hi
    I am looking at having our wedding reception in the Knightsbrook hotel in Trim but am concerned that the ballroom is too big. We are inviting around 200 people. Has anyone had their wedding reception here, or been to a wedding here? Whats it like? Does the large ball room kill the atmosphere a bit? :confused:

    It is gorgeous and we loved it but felt it was like a wedding factory.
    On one level this is great because they are experts but on the other they are less flexible and you feel less special.
    The lay out is perfect,I love the room for the drinks reception and love the ball room.
    When they set the ball room up with the few chairs and tables on the end opposite where top table etc is, it looks lovely and not too big at all.

    Lovely venue, 200 people should be fine in the room. They might be able to move the top table forward into the room to make it more cosy

    We are having our wedding there but have half the room,we seen it set up for 150 people in the full room and it looked great,they had added sofas and tables around the room which looked like a nice touch so 200 will be perfect in that room

    I think its a lovely venue. The staff are great there, on the plus side with the size of the room, the band could have all thier gear set up and it wouldnt affect the ambience in the room. Of course you'd have to ask the band to be set up from earlier i suppose. They will lay the room out to best suit your needs, so just tell them what you want

    Was at a wedding with roughly 160 at and it looked great, its a fantastic hotel, didn't seem extra big or anything(in saying that i didnt particularly notice if the room size had been altered), staff etc were great from a guests point of view. Dancefloor is big and spacious, i like the way your not ushered out and back like in some places.

    band setting up beforehand isnt really necessary, bands should be able to get setup in 45 minutes, which is just enough time post meal and speeches for people to refresh themselves. Bands may also ask for additional fee for this as well due to time involved.

    Knightsbrook is a fantastic room for a wedding. 180-200 people is perfect in there for the full room. Theyll half (halve?) the room with dividers for anything less then about 130-140 so it doesn't look sparse, with the stage put at the bar end where the top table is. They know their business well for me.
