The Shelbourne Dublin
The Irish Constitution was drafted here and the recent brief closure of this opulent 18th-century hotel overlooking St Stephen's Green (Europe's largest garden square) has served as a reminder to Dubliners that it is still central to life in the city today. Ranking among the world’s great hotels, this wedding venues emerged from its recent restoration and refurbishment with all the old grandeur intact, and the entrance creates an even stronger impression since the lift has been relocated to allow the original staircase to take pride of place once again in the magnificent faux-marble entrance hall – now also enhanced by the creation of a new reception area.
The Lord Mayor's Lounge - always a popular meeting place for Afternoon Tea - was treated with a light hand in the renovation and the famous Horseshoe Bar, renowned as a meeting place for local politicians and theatrical society and nothing short of a Dublin institution, was taken back to its old Sam Stephenson designed interior.
New rooms added at the back of the hotel have increased the accommodation, and all are luxurious - but the older suites, named after famous people who have stayed there in the past, have all been refurbished to bring back the original glamour, and are very much in demand. Dining choices are between the stylish, No. 27 Bar & Lounge, and the opulent Saddle Room restaurant.
The hotel is in great demand for events and meetings, with a number of restored meeting/private dining rooms in the main building available, including The Constitution Room and The George Moore Suite - and also the state-of-the-art Great Room next door, for larger events.
The Clarence Hotel
Dating back to 1852, this 5* boutique city centre hotel on the south quays has long had a special place in the hearts of Irish people and currently enjoys cult status through its owners - Bono and The Edge, of U2 - who have completely refurbished the hotel and spared no expense to get the details right, reflecting the hotel’s original arts and crafts style whenever possible.
This wedding venues known for offering a non-traditional venue, The Clarence is the place for style-conscious smaller weddings; there are plenty of churches to choose from nearby (St Teresa’s Church, Clarendon Street, is just 10 minutes’ walk) and blessings can be arranged in the hotel.
A dedicated wedding co-ordinator can arrange everything from a vintage car or other special transport for the bride and groom (and a helicopter, chauffeured cars, or coach for guests) to beauty treatments at the hotel spa, Therapy @ The Clarence, or a hair stylist to come to your room.
The reception is held in The Clarence Suite - a bright, uncluttered room on the first floor, overlooking the River Liffey - and the hotel’s renowned restaurant, The Tea Room, is also available for exclusive hire on certain days of the week. Public rooms have real character - the oak-panelled Octagon Bar has a club-like atmosphere, for example, and The Study is a quieter room which feels like a cross between a library and a drawing room, with the comfort of an open fire.
Accommodation, which includes a stunning penthouse suite, offers a luxurious combination of contemporary comfort and period style, with up-to-the minute amenities, and the hotel is within walking distance of landmark attractions including Trinity College and Christchurch Cathedral.
Fallon & Byrne
This chic, contemporary French restaurant could easily be missed given its location above their ground floor speciality grocery and food market (which simply begs you to browse). The function room is another floor above it - accessed by lift or stairs - and has its own bar.Where is it written that weddings have to take place in hotels you'd never be in otherwise?.......Ask about the beautiful sunlit room, wonderful food, choice wines, impeccable service and unique setting, nowhere near M50 land.
Talk to Lori or Remy, on 01 4721011, about what you might do upstairs.
The Merrion Hotel
Just off Dublin’s finest Georgian square, the period elegance of this fine hotel provides a stunning setting for wedding celebrations. The Merrion has been created from four restored Georgian townhouses and, although wedding blessings are not possible here, there are churches for most denominations nearby and the hotel makes a highly romantic setting for wedding receptions, which take place in Mornington House, the former home of the 1st Duke of Wellington.
There is a separate entrance with marbled hallways, beautifully landscaped gardens and terraces for drinks and photographs and, as well as ornate ceilings and elegant sash windows providing natural daylight, all the six private rooms (ranging in capacity from 20-50 guests) have original Georgian decoration, tapestries and paintings.
A dedicated wedding co-ordinator is on hand to provide a very individual service, organising everything from flowers, cake, photographers, red carpet and welcoming piper or other music, to pre-wedding pampering at The Merrion's own Spa and Health Club, helicopters or vintage cars and suggestions for a 2/3 day programme for guests.
The highly regarded Merrion kitchens offer a wide range of menus, including a mouthwatering choice of hot and cold canapes and a selection of set menus, plus the unusual option of a Seasonal Wedding Selections menu - and an award winning pastry chef can help design and create a cake for you.
Many of the hotel’s luxurious guest rooms and suites overlook lovely gardens and any kind of activity, from fishing to golf, can be recommended and arranged. This wedding venues exceptional for a very special small wedding - and the hotel’s ‘no service charge’ policy will help to ease the bill.

Here, in a unique building designed specifically for them, children aged two to 12 explore everything from theatre, music and literature to painting, film, dance and more. They discover what it means to be an artist, from respected professional artists.
