as convenient to have the private bar on the same level as us, and all of the staff was very attentive and helpful! They went above and beyond to make sure we were having a nice time and that everything was exactly how we wanted it.

We had our wedding & reception at O’Sheas and highly recommend them! We rented the penthouse and rooftop. Kady is awesome to work with! She always responded to my questions within ...
24 hours and was super organized. The bar tenders were amazing during our reception and the food was great. It was everything we had imagined! If you want a stress free venue, pick O’Sheas.

as perfect. the natural beauty of the building/space set the tone. there was plenty of room for the ceremony, eating and outdoor space. it was not crowded. Having the ceremony and reception/catering in the same place definitely made our our of state wedding easier. The food was amazing and the bar tenders were awesome. The event went smoothly due to the staff's organization.

The event coordinator was helpful and responsive. Everything looked great and went smoothly, food was good, and the bartenders were awesome! My only complaints are that they threw ...
out a ton of leftover food without talking to us, and I’ve yet to get an answer as to why. There was a miscommunication about use of the bridal suite, which was on our floor, but someone else had rented it out so we couldn’t get ready there, and some obnoxious girls having a party were running in and out as we were setting up.

Working with Jessica to plan our ceremony and reception in the Penthouse & Rooftop at O'Shea's was great and stress free. Jessica helped guide us through decisions on the space, th...
e layout of the room, timing, food & beverage and her team on the day were fantastic. Raul, our bartender and lead for the day, went above and beyond to address minor issues and make sure we were well taken care of. We booked the Bridal Suite, which was on a different floor, and it was comfortable and exactly what I needed to spend the day getting ready with my mom, sister, stepdaughter and niece. The staff downstairs made sure we had lunch and drinks while we were preparing. The location was very accessible to our out of town guests who were staying downtown and nearby and there were plenty of parking areas for our in-town guests to take advantage of.

Talk about a venue you will love! Billie did such a wonderful job helping us pull together such an awesome day. She was there with us every step of the way and answer all my que...
stions, big or small. She is an asset to the O'shea's restaurant group and should be commended on performing such a wonderful job.
O'shea's was our venue for not only our reception, but our ceremony as well! We reserved the 3rd floor Loft which has a roof top connect and is absolutely gorgeous. We had so many compliments on such a unique and "us" venue.
Not only does O'shea's have an awesome venue site, they cater as well! We had the Coffee-braised beef tips as well as the bourbon-orange glazed salmon. I haven't heard so many people compliment wedding food before. Everything was fantastic.
The bartenders were so nice and welcoming. We really appreciate everything, and thank you all again.

I'll be honest, if you would have told me I would have my wedding in an Irish pub I would have been a little skeptical. However, don't let pretences get the better of you when cons...
idering Patrick O'Shea's! We had a wonderful experience with them. We rented out three rooms within O'Shea's: The Penthouse for the ceremony, Loft 123 for the reception, and the bridal suite for getting ready (which also acted as the perfect storage room for our clothing and decor boxes during the event). Our wedding was roughly 150 people, and we all fit nicely within the spaces. The building is a stunning piece of hundred-year-old architecture and many of our guests were raving over the tall antique windows and rich wooden floors. With the addition of florals and gold touches, the rooms radiated charm and left our event with a distinctly intimate feel. Also, I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Mary was our main liaison during planning. She was extremely prompt in responding to our emails and always kind in her replies. The venue kindly provided a day-of coordinator, Stephanie, for a very fair extra cost. While still new and a bit unsure at times, she offered to help in every way she could and certainly took some of the stress off. Finally, there was Kelsey, who I believe is titled the Venue Manager. Kelsey answered all of our questions throughout the day and even helped reattach a false eyelash which decided give up in the middle of bridal shots! All lovely, lovely women. Plus, the bartenders, caterers, and setup staff were as sweet as could be! The complaints I have are extremely slight, so please take them as cautions to be aware of and not as deterrents. The first is that the food is a little wanting, though we did manage arrangement an adequate menu. I would suggest doing a few tastings to figure out what you want, it's worth the extra money. They do allow you to bring in your own desserts, however. Secondly, the AUX cord for the music is behind the bar in Loft 123, so if you're not planning on having a DJ with her/her own setup or a band, know that this will cause some difficulties. As I said, though, minor, minor problems in the long run. Overall, we profusely enjoyed our wedding day and have O'Shea's to thank for making that joy possible!
