Venue Hire for Evening Reception

    Hi all,

    Myself and my OH have decided to tie the know in September. We will have a very small ceremony with family only. This will be followed by a nice lunch somewhere in the City Centre (Dublin).

    I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on hiring a venue to have a "party" in the evening, perhaps with some finger food. We are not after a traditional Wedding reception (no band, no first dance), just a celebration kind of vibe I guess...

    A friend of a friend rented out a club in Temple Bar (not sure if I can name it?!!) - I'd like to know the costs, rules etc associated with this.

    Thanks guys - already onto looking at both of these! Any suggestions for ceremony spots?!

    City hall is lovely for a ceremony. You might find it difficult to get a venue to do ceremony only as they usually like to have the ceremony and reception to cater for. Fallon and Byrne might suit as you could have the ceremony, a small family lunch and a party in the evening. It's not cheap though when we looked into it

    For your ceremony check out the Casino Marino? (not an actual casino if you've never heard of it!)

    justback83 The Schoolhouse Hotel Ballsbridge is gorgeous. We got married there last september.
    We had 33 at the ceremony in the room upstairs. you hire the restaurant until 8pm.

    I've been looking at this as well!! Sounds lovely but how would the evening reception work there?!

    Beautiful - although our ceremony number has jumped to 40 - think that might be just a few too many for the Casino...

    justaback83 they reserved a large area for us at the rear of the bar so we had a good bit of privacy. It was lovely to sit around and chat.
    There was room to get up and dance and it was lovely very low key and chilled.

    The music was a guy singing and playing the guitar and we had a great night.

    feel free to pm me if you any questions. I'd be glad to help you.
