Absolutely! When planning your intimate gathering at one of our cosy party venues in Dublin, you must be aware of local regulations. Dublin operates under Irish law, which means there may be guidelines around noise levels, closing times, and alcohol licensing. Considering the current global health climate, health and safety measures are essential. However, don't worry; our listed intimate event spaces will provide you with the necessary information during the venue hire process. 

That's a fantastic question. Dublin is a lively city with a bustling events scene, so you should book your venue as early as possible. As a general rule, we recommend you start the venue hire process at least 3-6 months before your event. This gives you plenty of time to secure one of our intimate reception halls or small-scale celebration venues. However, if you have a specific venue in mind, booking even earlier might be a good idea, as popular places can fill up quickly.
