Get ready to turn up the volume on your love story in a city space that's just as unique as your connection. Our spaces are your canvas, ready to host anything from intimate gatherings to dance-the-night-away celebrations. And let's talk views – our rooftop sit up in the sky, with 270 degrees of Dublin city. Our team? They're the angels behind the curtain, turning your ideas into reality. From mouthwatering bites that celebrate local flavors to signature sips that keep the good times flowing, we're all about making your day as vibrant as you want it to be. The Dean is a 100 bed boutique hotel located on Harcourt Street in the heart of Dublin. With so much on offer under one roof, we're the perfect choice for couples looking for a stylish, alternative wedding venue in the city! With a blend of old and new incorporating a host of Georgian townhouse details and home to over 250 pieces of Irish art, we're an ideal location for ceremonies, receptions, engagements and everything in between. We have three unique event spaces to choose from; The Blue Room, The Marshall Room, and Sophie's Rooftop Restaurant accommodating weddings from 30 guests seated up to 300 for cocktail style weddings. We may have multiple spaces to choose from but rest assured, we only host one wedding per day. Your wedding journey starts here, so get ready to dive right in and let that love of yours take the spotlight and Dublin city become your backdrop. Let's go make memories!

- AAmy & Rob03/01/2024Looking for a fun & stylish venue, book The Dean!Looking for a fun & stylish venue, book The Dean!We had our wedding in The Blue Room at the Dean and had the best day! The Dean is an excellent venue, while The Blue Room was where our ceremony, meal and dancing took place, they also structured our day so guests could enjoy Sophie’s terrace and The Lobby Bar while the room was being reset. Planning our wedding was also a pleasure. We dealt with two team members and both did a great job.
