For a stylish city wedding with incredible food and a splash of old Dublin charm, it's hard to beat Medley, a unique venue housed in the iconic old Irish Times building on Fleet Street East, right in the heart of the city. With a focus on bold, creative food, Medley is also one of the most versatile venues in the city - it's perfect for a stylish and intimate get-together, but if you dare to be different and say, want to swap out the evening meal for a disco brunch soundtracked by 80s bangers, they're happy to oblige!
The Vibe at Medley Weddings
Every Medley wedding is different, so while one couple might be all about the five-course wine pairing menu, another might want their reception to feel like a wild night out in one of Dublin's coolest bars. Either way, Medley's dedicated wedding co-ordinator will be happy to help you make it happen. The venue will be all yours for your big day (or two! The folk at Medley are masters of the weekend-long celebration!), and you'll be in the heart of Dublin city centre, so wedding portraits on the Ha'Penny Bridge, a stroll around St. Stephen's Green, and stop-off at your favourite pub are all possible!
The Space at Medley
Medley began as an intimate restaurant on Drury St. before demand drove chef Andrew Rudd and his team to its current home, the historic Irish Times Building on Fleet Street East, in 2016. The stunning ground floor can comfortably accommodate 150 guests standing and the mezzanine areas can comfortably seat up to 140 dinner guests. Alternatively, why not consider a cocktail party for 320 guests standing over the two floors? With its dark, wooden floors and contemporary bar design, the venue boasts a cool, New York vibe, and it feels airy and open, thanks to the balcony facing the glass wall on Fleet Street East. Medley is also home to some lovely, light-filled spaces for civil ceremonies, which they're fully licensed to host, and is ideally located for those who wish to get hitched in Dublin City Hall or one Dublin's many city centre churches. Many of our wedding couples get married in City Hall and Smock Alley, both only a 10 minute stroll through Temple Bar.
The Food and Drink at Medley Weddings
Food is what the team at Medley do best, so regardless of what's on the menu, you can be sure that your guests will be talking about it for years to come! Renowned chef Andrew Rudd heads up the kitchen at Medley, serving up everything from a full à la carte five-course 'Best of Irish' menu, Spanish-style pinchos to classic Italian fare, Thai feasts or burritos with all the trimmings. He's happy to create a special menu, curated specifically for you, with a focus on international or homegrown cuisine, or indeed a combination of both! There really is no end to Andrew's creativity, so whatever you choose, your wedding meal will be a showstopper.
