Yes, you can often decorate group dining restaurants in Dublin, but confirm with the venue manager first. Some may restrict items like confetti, candles, or hanging decorations. Consider incorporating themed table settings, centrepieces, and personalised menus for a cohesive look. Flowers, fairy lights, or balloons can create a festive atmosphere, and most venues will allow you to use these items or even recommend vendors to you. Always leave extra time for both setup and clean-up.

When booking restaurants catering to large groups in Dublin, consider your guest count, the type of cuisine, and budget. Some venues may offer a set menu or buffet, which can affect your costs, so confirm and discuss your catering options with the venue before finalising your booking. You'll also want to consider the location – places like Dawson Street or Merrion Row offer excellent access to public transport and central attractions, making them convenient for your guests. Check the venue's seating capacity and the flexibility to rearrange the furniture to suit your party's needs. If you need special dietary accommodations or want to bring in external vendors, confirm with the venue beforehand.
