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.
