Planning a conference, staff party or awards night in Galway? Here’s our guide to the city’s main corporate event venues, with capacities and practical notes on adding a photo booth or entertainment to each one. We Do Events is based in Galway and can set up at any of these venues.

Capacities are the venues’ published maximum theatre-style figures – always confirm the exact room with the venue.

The Galmont Hotel – Lough Atalia, city centre

Capacity: up to 990 delegates theatre-style across 12 meeting rooms.

Its large ballroom suits big staff parties and conferences – a 360 booth or Magic Mirror works well in the pre-dinner reception area.

Choosing the right booth for your venue

For big ballrooms and Christmas parties, a Magic Mirror or 360 photo booth creates a focal point. For conference foyers and exhibition areas, a compact selfie station or branded booth keeps the flow moving. See all our options on our corporate photo booth hire page.
