Medley - A decade of Leading the way in Hospitality!

Medley, Ireland’s premier private event venue, is celebrating ten years at its iconic Fleet Street venue in Dublin. Leading the way in redefining how businesses entertain, connect, and create lasting impact in a post-pandemic world, founder and renowned chef Andrew Rudd has now relaunched Medley with a €100,000 investment.

Andrew Rudd, best known for his cookbooks and TV appearances on RTE and Virgin Media, has been at the forefront of Medley for the past decade. The past ten years has brought profound change to the hospitality industry, with venues facing mounting pressure to evolve in response to hybrid working trends, changing consumer expectations, increasing sustainability demands, and a rising appetite for immersive, brand-centric experiences, where adapting has become essential for survival.

As corporate hospitality continues to evolve, so too has Medley. Medley is not only embracing change but shaping it, transforming from a stylish dining spot into a full scale experience provider for Ireland’s most forward thinking brands, and has hosted over 4,000 events and served some of the biggest names in business including Facebook, Amazon, Intel, Aldi, AIB, and Netflix.

Speaking about Medley, Andrew Rudd said: “Corporate entertaining today is less about three-course dinners and more about connection, creativity, and customisation. Clients don’t just want a venue—they want an experience that reflects their values, brand, and vision. That’s the world Medley was built for.”

Unlike traditional hotel venues, Medley offers exclusive-use hire, meaning clients enjoy the entire venue without overlap from other events or customers. This privacy is a major draw for high-level corporate clients seeking focus, discretion, and a tailored experience. This also supports the ability for clients to go all out with theming and branding, where other venues may have limitations. 

Located just off Dublin’s Grafton Street with ample public transport access via Luas or bus, Medley spans two floors and up to 295 sq. m. of adaptable space accommodating everything from sit-down dinners for 200, to standing receptions for nearly 300. Its modular layout and full in-house audiovisual setup make it perfect for conferences, panels, and creative brand activations, while its stylish design creates an elevated backdrop for luxury entertaining.

As one returning client said: “We’ve used hotel venues before, but Medley’s flexibility and food were in a different league. It’s a space that helps you tell your story”.

In a landscape where venue choice is increasingly strategic, Medley has responded with innovation on multiple fronts. The company has invested in turnkey AV and streaming capabilities to support digital and hybrid events, an essential feature for those looking to elevate their corporate entertaining. Through its external catering arm, Medley also delivers bespoke gourmet experiences to off-site locations, offering multiple cuisines created by chefs from across the globe. Sustainability is embedded as standard across operations, with initiatives ranging from LED lighting and water saving technology to low waste menus and partnerships with local suppliers. To foster long-term partnerships, Medley is also developing a client loyalty and rewards programme in response to growing repeat demand.

At the heart of Medley is a food first philosophy. Medley’s kitchen creates bold, bespoke menus that celebrate Irish ingredients and global flavours.

Andrew said: “It’s the first impression and the lasting memory. At Medley, we put as much thought into a canapé as we do a main course. It’s about creating something memorable from the very first bite.” 

With Andrew’s background in food innovation and his deep family roots in Irish hospitality, the venue seamlessly blends heritage with modern culinary theatre—ensuring every event feels original. Medley allows the ability for total culinary flexibility, from developing bespoke menus to working with external chefs, nothing is off the table when it comes to providing the best culinary solution. 

As the world of work, hospitality, and brand experience continues to evolve, Medley invites Ireland’s business community to think differently about what an event can be.
