The Venue

A Wedding Venue Unlike Any Other in Dublin

Not a hotel ballroom. Not a marquee. Not a room that looks like
every other wedding you’ve been to.

The Marco Pierre White Courtyard Bar & Grill on Belmont Avenue
is one of Dublin’s most distinctive wedding venues — a beautifully
converted space with lush cloistered gardens, a heated courtyard
terrace, and intimate dining rooms that make even large celebrations
feel personal.

Up to 150 guests. Restaurant-style service in a banqueting setting.
One wedding at a time — which means on your day, you have the
full attention of the entire team.

The venue is yours.

Why MPW Donnybrook

What Makes the Difference

The Food

Marco says it best:

“It is our firm belief that great dishes are produced when you select
the finest ingredients available and treat them simply and sensitively.
We take great care in sourcing only premium Irish ingredients and we
visit our producers regularly to ensure standards are maintained.”

All food is prepared fresh on the day. All mains are cooked to order.
Temperature is taken on every steak. This is restaurant-standard
cooking in a wedding setting — something not every venue does,
and something we do exceptionally well.

Personal Service

The Courtyard Bar & Grill has been family-run since it opened in 2013.
That ownership is felt in the detail — the décor, the layout, the
atmosphere are constantly evolving, kept special and unique by people
who genuinely care about the venue.

That attention to detail feeds directly into the team. From your
first enquiry through to the last dance, you will deal with
experienced people who have handled hundreds of weddings with
the same standard of food and service you’d expect at any MPW table.

The Bar

The bar at the Courtyard was refashioned from the original Montrose
Hotel in Stillorgan — a genuinely impressive centrepiece that becomes
the natural gathering point for your guests throughout the evening.

Crucially, the bar sits within the same space as the dining room.
There is no hotel lobby for guests to drift to. Everyone stays
together — which is exactly what makes a wedding feel like a
celebration rather than a function.

Flexibility

As we only host one wedding at a time, your day runs exactly as
you want it. Preferred layout, timings, run of play — all entirely
flexible. We can even host your ceremony in our beautiful courtyard.

The Library Room is kept exclusively for the wedding couple on the
day — a private space for a moment away from everyone, whenever
you need it.

Testimonials

What Our Couples Say

"The food, wine and service on the night was impeccable and everyone was raving about the food. The courtyard area works really well as a reception area — it felt like the perfect space for the 130 guests we had."
Hannah & Conor
"Every single step, from the original venue viewing all the way to the late night food was so professional. We never had to worry about the venue because we just felt like we were in such safe hands."
Ciara & Owen
"Despite there being 150 guests, the venue still had such an intimate feel. Once we had our first meeting with Matt he took over all the details and all that was left for us to do was enjoy the day."
Sarah & Bobby
"It was seamless from the very beginning and everyone has remarked on the amazing food and service. You have definitely found your calling! We are already looking forward to going back."
Kate & Ruairí
"The steak was always going to be a winner, but the crab and the peanut butter and chocolate cake went down a storm. People are still raving about the food."
Ann-Marie & Fabio
"The team at MPW make it so special. Thank you Ciara, Gustavo, Robert and the others for going beyond the call of duty — always smiling and full of good cheer. We felt so comfortable and relaxed on a day which could have been stressful."
Chris & Fernando

A Room Worth the Journey

The Marco Pierre White Courtyard Bar & Grill occupies a beautifully converted
space on Belmont Avenue — one of Donnybrook village’s most characterful
addresses. The entrance alone, through a vine-covered gate, sets the tone for
what follows.

Inside, the restaurant combines the warmth of a neighbourhood bistro with
the polish of a premium dining room. Private spaces including The Garden Room
and The Library Room make this one of Dublin 4’s most versatile venues for
both intimate dinners and larger celebrations.

Close to the Intercontinental Hotel, Herbert Park Hotel, Clayton Hotel,
Aviva Stadium and the RDS — and yet, once you’re through that gate,
the city feels far away.
