Weddings

Experience the distinction of Ireland’s premier wedding destination. As the proud recipients of the Gold Medal Award 2025 for Grand Wedding Hotel, Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel offers an unmatched blend of historic elegance and contemporary luxury.

Located on a private 22-acre woodland estate overlooking the Glashaboy River in Cork, our family-run hotel provides a calm, personal, and non-production-line experience. We operate a strict one-wedding-per-day policy, ensuring that our historic villa and its grounds remain exclusively yours. From our newly built outdoor ceremony space to our light-filled ballroom, we provide a seamless flow for couples who want everything in one magnificent location near Cork city.

Our hotel is the ideal choice for:

• Exclusive Celebrations: Couples seeking a "one-wedding-per-day" guarantee for total privacy.
• Nature Lovers: Those dreaming of an outdoor woodland ceremony or garden photography.
• Family-Focused Planning: Couples who value a personal, family-run approach rather than a corporate hotel feel.
• Convenience & Flow: Guests who wish to host the ceremony, reception, and overnight stay in one place.
• Luxury Preparation: Bridal parties requiring a dedicated, spacious Wedding Prep Room on the morning of the celebration.

The Wedding Journey

At Cork's Vienna Woods, your wedding is a curated journey through our historic estate. Most couples begin their day in our Bridal Suite & Prep Room, a dedicated space designed for a relaxed morning.

For your "I Do," choose between the timeless elegance of our indoor suites or our Outdoor Ceremony Space, nestled within the trees. Following the ceremony, your guests will enjoy a sophisticated drinks reception in the John Peter’s Suite, which offers direct access to our manicured gardens.

The celebrations culminate in the Magner Suite, our grand ballroom where award-winning dining meets historic charm. To see how these spaces come together, browse our Real Wedding Stories or view our full Wedding Gallery for inspiration.

Where History Meets "I Do"

Arriving via a charming driveway winding up Glanmire's peak, you'll be greeted by the hotel's historic Regency design. Nestled in a leafy landscape with views over the Glashaboy River, the setting is both picturesque and serene.

Welcome your guests at the original stone portico entrance from 1903, framed by elegant wrought iron flower arches. The distinctive wooden door with its inlaid circular window gives you a chance to glimpse your loved ones before making your grand entrance.

Inside, Mabel Crawford, the former lady of the house, watches over from a portrait above an original Adams fireplace. In the oldest part of the building, enjoy canapés and drinks in the cozy conversation salons and reception areas.

The glass room, with its large bay windows and neo-classical arch, showcases the building's elegant architecture. Chandeliers illuminate restored plasterwork ceilings adorned with playful pheasants and peacocks.

Even if the sun doesn’t shine, the new John Peters Suite offers a bright and warm space for pre-reception gatherings, thanks to its spacious balcony and ample natural light.

Cork's Vienna Woods Country House Hotel combines historic charm with modern elegance, making it an ideal choice for your wedding day.
