Have a meal in a restaurant.
The size is up to you and quiet common.

Not enough information!

Where do you want to have this wedding, what do you want, church, solemniser, what?

Meal or drinks for your guests?

Give a bit more info and I am sure someone will assist.

A private dining room in a nice restaurant would be my first suggestion!
Good food and good company - all you need for a good day

I shot a wedding about that size in Ballymaloe last year. It was lovely. The room for the ceremony was beautiful and they just moved into a private room next door for drinks and canapes before having dinner there that evening. There is a lot to be said for such a relaxed paced wedding. Ok there's no big party but I definitely felt the couple just enjoyed every moment being with each other and their family.

Hi,

My partner's not keen on having anyone but immediate family and friends. Im inclined to agree after seeing our list grow legs anytime we tried pulling it together.

Im wondering if we uust go for ceremony, dinner, drinks...what do you do after? Would it just feel like a saturday night out? Would everyone be bored by 8pm?! Just looking for ideas. Open to anything really!

Thanks

We did just that. Had 27 people at the wedding. Got married at the same venue, had a drinks reception, then dinner and then afters. Finished around 1 and went back to a local hotel and had more drinks.

We loved it and wouldn't change a thing. Did photos before the ceremony and had the photographer as a guest so he was taking photos all night.

We wanted it this way sort of like having everyone over for dinner. Remember,it's your day and there are no rights and wrongs, just do what ye both want.

We got married in Fallons in Kilcullan in Kildare

We had similar...registry office, dinner, drinks, bit of food later on. It was all completely over by 1am. Perfect for us.

We only had 22 people at our wedding. Mostly immediate family and a few close friends. We had a civil ceremony at a local hotel and then had a small drinks reception followed by a meal at another local restaurant. Few long faces amoung the relatives but we only wanted people who we knew would be there for us come what may.

If you have the ceremony much later and only sit down to dinner at 8 then you can make that the main occasion!

My son is getting married in Sept and including his bride, there's just 12 of us going. We have Boyne Hill House (Navan) booked so we have the whole old house to ourselves. In fact we have the whole estate to ourselves but we won't need it. Ceremony and dinner is all in the old house. Plan is for a few games out on the lawn - giant Jenga etc. Might even bring the guns and do a bit of clay pigeon shooting. After dinner we plan on hooking up Guitar Hero or something along those lines for a bit of craic. The food is excellent in BHH so we intend to make the meal the main part of the day. Even though both myself and the missus are photographers, we've hired a pro to come and do the photos - no pressure on him :-)

I had a secret wedding, 24 people plus us.

Had the ceremony in a small church and back to a hotel for a dinner where we hired out a small function room. As the meal didn't start till after 8pm it was late enough finishing. Provided my own music for the meal and we then just headed to the res bar for the rest of the night. Had the whole hotel booked out as our numbers fitted the hotel perfectly and the next day we headed off on our honeymoon.

We had 11 people at our wedding, it was lovely. Half an hour in the registry office, lovely photos with everybody then a nice meal in a hotel, was so relaxed and I had everybody there I could want.
We did have an after party to appease everybody , there was friends and extended family so there was roughly 100 people there, we done a buffet for them and a disco.
There is nothing I would change about my wedding it was just perfect for us

This is what we did. We picked the latest time-slot at the registry office, headed to a local restaurant that had a private dining room (the views at the restaurant were beautiful, so we hired a photographer to take a few pics while our families had drinks), meal was around 8pm, drinks after and we stayed the night in the hotel next door. It worked out perfectly!
