Overlooking Exchequer Street, this unique multi-storey destination is home to our renowned Food Hall, Dining Room, Wine Cellar, and The Exchange, our intimate event space. With characterful interiors and beautiful spaces, Fallon & Byrne offers an alternative wedding venue in the heart of Dublin, perfect for everything from a small wedding to a larger celebration. It’s a place to celebrate your wedding day and return to for life’s celebrations long after.
Dedication from Start to Finish
Having your wedding in The Exchange means dedicated event planning, bespoke packages, and exclusive use of the space. Our experienced wedding coordinators offer 5-star service without the stuffiness, guiding you from the very first day to the very last minute with planning, precision, and a touch of magic, so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.
Exceptional Food & Wine
With our restaurant heritage, great food and wine are at the heart of every celebration. Choose from our indulgent three-course Exchequer or Exchange Menus, our family-style Banquet Menu, or a relaxed Standing Reception Menu, giving you the freedom to choose a menu that suits your vibe. And when the night is in full swing, late-night food options include our much-loved wood-fired pizzas, served from the Wine Cellar until midnight.
Party Into the Early Hours
And when the formalities are over, the real celebration begins. We’re renowned for incredible parties that keep guests on the dancefloor into the early hours. With both bands and DJs permitted, you can create the perfect soundtrack for a night your guests won’t want to end. Late-night licence options are also available.
Make It Your Own
From a ceremony in The Exchange to a drinks reception in the Wine Cellar or a relaxed day two lunch in the Dining Room, there are plenty of ways to personalise your celebration. Add the finishing touches with appreciation hampers for your mothers, bridal party or groom’s party, or explore our other options to make the day truly your own.
The Finer Details
Your venue hire goes far beyond the room itself. From dedicated event planning and a personalised wine-tasting experience to all furniture and adornments and exclusive use of The Exchange throughout your wedding day, we take care of so much of what goes into bringing your celebration together, leaving you free to enjoy the occasion.

All offer preferential rates for confirmed Fallon & Byrne weddings, subject to availability.
We’re happy to host your ceremony in The Exchange at Fallon & Byrne, with the red brick of George’s Arcade and a floral altar piece as your backdrop. The room is then vacated for around 2 hours while we turn it around for your dinner and evening celebrations.
Some couples also choose a pub-crawl style wedding, taking their guests on a proper Dublin experience. Starting with an elegant off-site ceremony, followed by a drinks reception in a traditional Irish pub, before heading to us for a great meal and big party.
After the ceremony, guests usually head to a nearby pub or restaurant for a relaxed 2-hour drinks reception while you’re off getting photos. We have a few local favourites, including some that accept Fallon & Byrne catering.
Our Wine Cellar is a popular choice for mid-week weddings.
We are not your typical country castle or hotel wedding venue. Right in the heart of Dublin city centre, tucked just above busy Exchequer Street, we are filled with natural light and framed by city views that bring the energy of Dublin straight into your celebration.
Our couples are usually looking for something a little more exciting and a little less traditional, a wedding that feels like them rather than something generic. They are drawn to the ease of a city centre celebration, where everything is close by, guests can move naturally through the day, and the focus stays on great company, great service, and the experience itself.
We are renowned for our food, our extensive wine selection, and most importantly, how we approach weddings. We plan them as if we are guests at them, so the day feels relaxed, full of life, and full of character. A celebration built around love and enjoyment from start to finish.
Once you confirm your wedding with us, we’ll send you a full onboarding pack to kick things off, including a sample Wedding Day Itinerary, a Wedding Planning Timeline outlining all key deadlines, a Suggested Vendor List, and a Ceremony and Dinner Form to help us refine all your details.
We’ll be on hand throughout your planning journey for calls or in-person meetings, and we’ll also arrange a one-to-one wine tasting with your dedicated Event Manager approximately 6–8 weeks before your wedding day.
Our aim is to make wedding planning an enjoyable and stress-free experience, giving you the guidance, support, and peace of mind to truly enjoy the lead-up to your special day.
Keep an eye out for our wedding showcases, which take place 2–3 times a year. They’re a great opportunity to sample the food, meet the team, chat with some of our favourite vendors, and see the space set up in full celebration mode.
Of course! Our total standing capacity is capped at 150 guests, so you’re very welcome to invite a few extra people to join once the drinking and dancing begins.
We just ask for names for the guest list, and that you agree a time with us in advance before inviting afters guests so we can make sure the dancefloor is set, the party lights are on, and the DJ or band are ready to go. We want them to arrive straight into a full party atmosphere!
There’s no extra cost for afters guests unless you’d like to include them in late food or additional drinks.
Our minimum guest numbers for dinner are as follows:
Should your numbers fall below these minimums, we’re happy to discuss a minimum spend option to ensure you can still celebrate with us on your chosen date.
Standing reception weddings are becoming an increasingly popular choice for couples looking for a relaxed, social, and lively celebration. Many couples opt for an intimate ceremony and dinner with their nearest and dearest, before opening the doors to a larger party with friends and family.
A successful standing reception is all about creating the right flow. We'll help you plan delicious waves of food throughout the event, a drinks tab at the bar, and entertainment that keeps the atmosphere buzzing from start to finish. As standing receptions don't follow a traditional wedding timeline, we'll share our best tips to ensure your guests stay engaged, entertained, and well-fed all evening long.
