Wedding Reception Venues in Charlestown

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

A Charlestown wedding can be a full pub reception with room to dance or a small dinner in a hotel restaurant. The scale is the deciding factor.

Wedding reception choices around Charlestown:

The Sandbar @ Mattara Hotel is the Mattara Hotel's main function room, open and bright, with its own bar on the top floor.
Wedding receptions are among the events the Mattara hosts most, with a functions team helping with the planning.
Seated or cocktail layouts both work in The Sandbar, and the mezzanine Lagoon Room can be added for extra guests.
Madison Kitchen + Bar suits a smaller reception, seating 50 in a sunlit dining room or 90 with the deck folded open.
