Hen’s Teeth Dublin
Blackpitts, Dublin 8
Capacity: 20 - 170
Greg & Rosie, co-owners of Hen's Teeth, know a lot about throwing weddings in their 2,500 sq ft gallery and event space in Dublin 8 - they had their own wedding there in 2019. At the time, they knew they wanted a city centre venue but they couldn't find one where they could create the party they wanted - so they decided to host it themselves.
Since then they have hosted many weddings for people looking for flexibility in food, drinks, entertainment and a good hoolie in a convenient Dublin location.
The industrial feel of this award-winning open plan space is perfect for those looking for a unique aesthetic for their big day. Floral installations pop beautifully against the concrete. The rotating selection of art and murals adds a lot to the venue - meaning couples will need to do very little to it themselves.
Hen’s Teeth can host up to 175 for a cocktail reception and up to 80 for a sit down dinner. The team will work with you to create your ideal menu across food and drinks and can take care of entertainment on the day from live music to DJs. The venue is next door to the ALoft Hotel - perfect for guests and the bridal party.
