All special occasions are tailor made - we can make your dream celebration come true, whether it is a Christening party, birthday party, a dinner dance, team activity day or theatrical performances, we will work with you to make the event really memorable. We can support you with a wealth of experience and the best of facilities.

 We can offer you a choice of three self-contained reception suites - all with private bar areas - accommodating from 120 to 800 guests in spacious, stylish surroundings. A variety of table arrangements enable you to customise your seating plan and all the suites have a specially laid dance floor so you can continue the celebrations through the evening.

The Tara Ballroom is licensed for 800 patrons and has hosted concerts with artists from all over the world, corporate dinner dances and sporting events are held regularly throughout the year.

The Ballroom has its own entrance on York Road. This room was refurbished during 2002, ensuring that it achieved a modern, relaxed and tasteful feel to this split level concert room. The lower seating area is carpeted and this surrounds the central dance floor. It also offers three large bars and an accousticly designed stage.  Whatever the configuration, it remains self contained.  It has a light airy feel by day – and a glamorous touch by night.

This room can easily cater for up to 300 people sitting and the seating arrangements can be chosen from round or oblong tables.  Its own kitchens prepare a wide choice of menus.  The catering is professional and imaginative with a wide choice of delicious food and fine wines.

The Tara Ballroom also has the flexibility to be separated into the Claddagh Room and Avoca Lounge if required.

The Claddagh Room is the biggest of our Reception Suites and can accommodate 150 – 350 guests in comfort. Serviced by two bars and a dance floor this suite is ideal for the larger receptions. The Suite boasts various lighting effects to enhance each and every function. Disabled facilities are incorporated in this Suite.

The Avoca Lounge is the second of our Reception Suite and can cater for 100- 150 Guests. Serviced by its own bar and dance floor this Suite also has its own lighting effects incorporated and has disabled facilities.

The O’Meara Lounge has recently being refurbished. It has achieved a more intimate setting which provides an adaptable space.  This room offers a stage, dancefloor and room for up to 150 guests.  The alcove area in this room will appeal for catching up with friends or family, away from the main gathering.  The facilities include the latest up to date lighting and smoke effects. Access is suitable for disabled patrons.

WEDDINGS

Your wedding is probably one of the most important days of your life (and one of the most stressful)  Let us take care of possibly the second most important aspect, the reception. Come to The Leeds Irish Centre. Don’t risk your wedding reception to just anyone, trust it to us - your total entertainment solution.

Our professional wedding coordinators will help you plan the occasion and be in attendance throughout the day to ensure absolutely everything runs as smooth as silk.

Everything at The Irish Centre is tailored to your needs. Guests are always ensured of a friendly, efficient service. We will ensure that you want for nothing from the bar, and that your food is brought to to your table with punctuality. We are not tied to the rules and regulations of large hotels and conference centres, and are determined to offer a personal service that is difficult to beat. Each of our Function Suites has dedicated kitchens so will not find us trying to run a number of functions from one main kitchen.  We are happy to discuss any special arrangements that you may wish to make. We can accommodate special dietary requirements, organise a toast master, or source specific drinks. Just ask...

Music

Music play’s such an important part in your wedding reception, don’t risk it to a DJ or band who is yet to turn of age, or who only plays one style of music, uses equipment which should be left at home or simply hasn’t experienced a wedding themselves.

We understand that the music needs to complement your reception, it needs to reflect your wants and desires, personality and of course the commitment you have made earlier on the day. We can provide a list of reputable DJs and bands that have worked with us before, ones you can trust.

We will consult and work with the DJ or band to ensure that everything is scheduled appropriately so that your reception runs as planned.
