When we first met Niamh and David and asked them about their vision for their wedding they said “we want to have a wedding party, with great food, great music and great craic” and boy did they throw a great wedding party!
Niamh and David wanted to break the mold of a traditional wedding, they threw out the idea of table plans and seating charts and opted to throw a informal wedding party where guests get to mix and mingle. The newlyweds and their guests enjoyed an 8 course meal, all dishes were served so you could eat them sitting or standing, allowing everyone to move freely throughout the room.
After dinner J90 took to the 10 Bridge Street stage and had the dancefloor absolutely packed! Niamh and David were an absolute pleasure to work with and we wish them both a lifetime of happiness!
The level of care & attention we got from Katie and Cliodhna throughout the planning of our wedding was excellent. I felt like I was getting emails on an almost weekly basis from Katie telling me about some other service they were going to provide, unasked for, without the price ever changing. Any potential issues that occurred to us Katie already had thought of and solved behind the scenes. Once we booked the various suppliers Katie took over and made sure everyone's ducks were in a row, everything was taken off our plate. You get a genuine sense from these guys that if they have a choice between maximizing how much they can make out of a wedding or maximizing how enjoyable the couple find the whole process they are totally focused on the latter. It was lovely to be organizing something that was so important to us and feel like the people who were helping us to do it really cared about the result. We had both the ceremony and party at 10 Bridge Street. The venue is lovely for both. The fact that it is a former church is nice for the ceremony as the room has a look and feel that are very apropos. The layout works really well for the afters too as the dancefloor flows into the bar, so people are dancing almost by default. We had the drinks reception in Kingston's while 10BS were changing over from ceremony to dinner set-up. Again, that is all arranged between the two places without any fuss for us. It's brilliant to see local businesses working so well together. The staff in Kingston's are absolutely excellent as well, they also have rooms which the wedding party stayed in and were very happy with. The bar itself is class. When you go in the door it is a proper cosy Irish pub but as you get a bit farther in you see that it opens out with loads of space for guests and a massive terrace out the back as well. We didn't want a wedding with a long sit-down meal, seating plans etc, so to find a place that does a more informal style of meal where everyone is free to move around throughout was great. Even for that style the service was really smooth and attentive, the food was excellent and there was plenty of everything. The bar staff were on the ball and kept up with the demand to their credit. Overall 10/10, would get married here again
