Introducing Grá: Our New Outdoor Ceremony Space at Vienna Woods Hotel

- Posted on: 19/05/2026 -

There’s something incredibly special about saying “I do” surrounded by nature, with light streaming through glass and woodland all around you. That vision inspired the creation of Grá, our beautiful new outdoor ceremony space at Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel.

Designed with romance, elegance, and atmosphere in mind, Grá offers couples a truly unique setting for their civil ceremony in Cork.

A Space Designed for Meaningful Moments

Nestled within our peaceful woodland surroundings, Grá combines the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort and sophistication of an indoor venue. The space can accommodate up to 200 guests, making it ideal for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations.

One of Grá’s most striking features is its wall of glass windows, which allows natural light to flood the space while framing the surrounding trees and greenery. No matter the season, couples and guests can feel connected to the landscape throughout the ceremony.

Soft, billowing white drapes suspended across the ceiling and flowing down the sides of the space create an elegant, romantic atmosphere, adding movement and softness while complementing the natural setting.

Seamlessly Connected to Your Celebration

Grá is located directly behind our John Peters Suite, the hotel’s dedicated drinks reception space. After the ceremony, guests can move effortlessly into the next part of the celebration, enjoying drinks and canapés in a relaxed and stylish setting.

The suite’s balcony overlooking the Glashaboy River offers another beautiful backdrop for photographs and quiet moments together as newlyweds.

Perfect for Civil Ceremonies in Cork

Couples today are looking for wedding spaces that feel personal, relaxed, and memorable, and Grá was created with exactly that in mind. The combination of woodland surroundings, natural light, flowing drapery, and seamless indoor-outdoor design creates a ceremony space that feels modern yet timeless.

Whether you’re planning a summer celebration surrounded by greenery or a cosy autumn ceremony with the woodland changing colour around you, Grá offers a setting that feels effortlessly romantic in every season.

A New Chapter for Weddings at Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel

The addition of Grá marks an exciting new chapter for weddings at Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel. Together with our recent hotel enhancements and continued investment in guest experience, it reflects our commitment to creating beautiful, meaningful spaces where unforgettable moments can happen.

We look forward to welcoming couples to experience Grá for themselves and begin the next chapter of their story surrounded by nature, light, and love.
