This experienced professional will guide you through the planning process, manage suppliers on the day, and ensure everything runs smoothly, saving you the cost of an external planner.
What is the average capacity for hotel wedding venues in Munster?
Munster offers a wide range of hotel venue sizes. You'll find boutique hotels perfect for intimate gatherings of 50-80 guests, as well as grand ballroom-style venues in castles and country estates that can comfortably accommodate 250+ guests.
