The Hibernian Room
The magical space of the Hibernian Room, located on the first floor, caters for up to 96 guests for your wedding meal. There is always beautiful light in this room, streaming through the very large original Georgian windows. The windows also offer an incredible view of Dublin’s beautiful St. Stephen’s Green Park.
The Card Room
An intimate ceremony can be held in the Card Room underneath the magnificent domed ceiling which dates back to 1840. The exquisite plasterwork was created by the Lafranchini Brothers in the 1750s and you can simple feel the history in this room.
This space then transforms later for your evening reception where guests can dance the night away. As the wedding meal and dancing are happening in different rooms it means the band or DJ can setup away from your guests and means your first dance will always be on time!
The Courtyard
The private outdoor Courtyard with it’s Laundry Bar is a hidden gem, perfect for pre-dinner cocktails and drinks. The Laundry Bar is fully functional and super quirky.
Drinks Reception at Stephen’s Green Club
After your ceremony in the Card Room your guests will be invited to enjoy themselves in the Club Bar, the Courtyard or feel free to roam the rest of the club. The Card Room can be quickly be turned around for drinks reception with live music too.
Family Photos at Stehen’s Green Club
The Card room is perfectly setup for family photos either following the reception or shortly before the Dinner call. It’s a large bright room with high ceiling so can accomodate photo groups of any size.
Family photos could also be taken across the road in Stephens Green Park but this will take a bit more time and I would recommend keeping the groups to immediate family only if considering this. Also remember that the park can get very busy at the weekend.
