FAQ's
What defines a 'luxury' wedding venue in Dublin?
Luxury wedding venues in Dublin are set apart by their exceptional service, exclusive settings like castles or 5-star hotels, gourmet culinary offerings, and dedicated in-house wedding planners. They focus on creating a bespoke, seamless, and premium experience from start to finish.
How far in advance should we book a top-tier wedding venue in Dublin?
For Dublin's most sought-after luxury venues, it is highly recommended to book 18-24 months in advance. This is especially true if you are planning for a Saturday wedding during the peak summer months of June to August, as these dates are secured very quickly.
Do luxury Dublin venues require a minimum number of guests?
Yes, it's common for luxury venues, particularly larger hotels and exclusive-use castles, to have a minimum guest requirement for weekend dates. This can range from 80 to over 150 guests. They may offer more flexibility for weekday or off-season weddings.
Is 'exclusive use' an option for high-end wedding venues in Dublin?
Absolutely. Exclusive use is a key feature of many luxury Dublin venues, especially private estates and castles. This ensures complete privacy for you and your guests, allowing you to have the entire property to yourselves for a truly intimate and personalised celebration.
What kind of backdrops can we expect from luxury venues in the Dublin area?
Dublin offers incredible diversity. In the city, you'll find elegant Georgian townhouses and sophisticated hotel ballrooms. Just a short drive away, you can discover venues with breathtaking coastal views, or the lush parklands and historic grandeur of countryside castles and estates.
Can we legally get married at any luxury venue in Dublin?
For a legally binding marriage in Ireland, the ceremony must be conducted by a registered solemniser at a venue approved for civil ceremonies. Most established luxury hotels and wedding venues hold the necessary license, but it is crucial to confirm this directly with your chosen venue before finalising any plans.
