The idea of a grand, traditional wedding is beautiful, but it's not for everyone. More and more couples are choosing a path that feels uniquely their own: the elopement. An elopement is about stripping away the fuss and focusing on what truly matters- the two of you, your vows, and the start of your life together.
If you’re dreaming of an intimate and deeply personal celebration, Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel offers the perfect backdrop for a magical Irish elopement. We believe your wedding should be a reflection of your love story, and our enchanting grounds and intimate spaces are designed for just that.
Your Ceremony, Your Way
An elopement at Vienna Woods gives you the freedom to choose a ceremony location that feels right to you. Imagine saying "I do" surrounded by the serene beauty of nature.
Outdoor Ceremonies: Our two beautiful outdoor ceremony areas provide a breathtaking canvas for your vows. Picture exchanging rings in a sun-dappled woodland setting, with ancient trees as your witnesses, or beside a tranquil water feature as you commit to your future. It's a natural, romantic, and unforgettable way to begin your marriage.
Indoor Ceremonies: For a more classic feel, our elegant Glanmire Suite or grand Ballroom can be transformed into a stunning ceremony space. These rooms provide a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere, ensuring your day is perfect regardless of the famous Irish weather.
The JP Suite: For the ultimate in intimacy, the JP Suite is perfectly suited for a deeply personal gathering. This space offers a cosy, luxurious setting for your reception, allowing you to celebrate in a private and elegant environment with your loved ones.
