Hi,
So we’re looking at wedding venues at the moment and we’re finding it hard to find nice places for about 60-70 people. Inviting about 80 so taking into account drop off rate.
A lot of the venues that I have looked at weren’t as nice as I hoped or the reception room was too big for our numbers. Also what was ruling out certain venues was the minimum numbers as we would like to have it on a Friday or Saturday. Semi off peak season though in April.
We’re looking in Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare. Would consider stretching to Meath but just over half of the guests will be travelling from Cork so nothing too far.
We’ve looked at Tulfarris, Finnstown, Celbridge Manor, Kingswood House and Springfield Hotel. Few others we were going to go look at like Portmarnock Hotel, Moyvalley, Clanard court and Summerhill house either didn’t have any of the dates we were looking at or had minimum number of 100. Some would decrease that for us to 80 but that still could have been a stretch depending on rsvp numbers.
We’re actually leaning towards Springfield even though I was hoping for bit more rustic like a manor or country house style but I guess who really takes that much notice of the outside/lobby?? The ceremony/reception room is gorgeous and the food is meant to be fab. They have been great to deal with aswell. We’d be getting pictures done in Castletown house down the road.
Any suggestions of other places we could view please??
Thanks
