Celebrating Love

A day of radiant joy

On a day like this, every detail seems to sparkle. There is a particularly luminous quality to everything that happens when you are making memories. Your wedding day is made up of a hundred tiny moments, and when you celebrate at The Shelbourne, we will be sure to add at least a hundred more.

The Shelbourne is a spectacular setting for an unforgettable day. Your dream wedding may be an intimate, candle-lit dinner for just a few of your very favourite people. It may be an opulent ball where you are surrounded by everyone you know and love. It might be something in between. Whatever you are planning, it would be our great joy and privilege to help you bring your dream to life.

After almost two hundred years of hospitality, hosting so many of Ireland’s most special occasions and memorable moments, we know what is necessary to create an unforgettable celebration. History has been made here. Royalty and movie stars have raised their glasses underneath this roof. Generations of families have returned again and again to mark their most important days. Now it is your time to shine.

The perfect setting for a jewel of a day
