We work with four local hotels just 1–3 minutes’ walk away, plus a great hotel in Temple Bar for guests travelling from abroad who want to stay right in the heart of Dublin’s cultural and nightlife district.
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.
