Dublin City Venue for Engagement Party?

system_538781 · 01-04-2016 1:40pm #1

I am yet to propose to my other half, but I am looking for a venue for an engagement party.

Ideally the venue should be located in Dublin city center. It should have a bar and it would be nice to have full control of the music ourselves. Some food would be needed too.

I reckon there will be 50+ guests attending, close to 100 if plus ones are included.

I am completely open to all ideas. I want to keep the budget low without compromising too much.

So does anyone have any suggestions on a venue that would fit the bill?

Thanks for your help

What sort of food? Are you talking "afters" food like sausages/wings/goujons and sambos or an actual sit down meal?

Sorry I should have specified. The food would simply be finger food and/or sandwiches.

If you want control of the music, you're likely talking renting a function room and possibly providing a DJ (although you could make you own mix and maybe get the venue to play it through their system to cut that cost).

Places like Odessa have rooms that can be rented for private parties - have you looked there yet?

It would likely be lot cheaper just to reserve an area in a venue where you happen to like the music. It would be a lot cheaper and open up a lot more possible places.
