Some of the most sought-after locations for banquet halls in Dublin include Dublin City Centre, which is easy to reach and with a broad selection of venues. The Airport area is popular for international and corporate events due to convenience, while Ballsbridge and Malahide has elegant, spacious venues suitable for weddings and formal banquets. Other notable districts include Howth, Rathmines, and Castleknock-Knockmaroon.
To choose the right size, consider both seating capacity and standing capacity based on your event type. For a seated dinner, allow roughly 1.5 square metres per person. For example, if you're planning a dinner for 150 guests, look at venues with a seating capacity of 150–180, like the Radisson Blu Hotel at Dublin Airport or The Factory Floor in Dublin City Centre. Always factor in space for catering, entertainment, or staging if needed.
Yes, several banquet halls in Dublin are located within hotels, making them perfect for multi-day events or for guests travelling from outside the city. Options include the Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge, and Anantara The Marker Dublin. These venues typically offer room blocks at discounted rates for event guests.
Many banquet halls offer basic AV equipment such as projectors, microphones, and sound systems included in the hire fee.
