This Cork hotel is on our list of dream wedding venues

Finding the perfect wedding venue in Ireland can be quite a tricky task, but it isn't because of how few options there are.

Many couples struggle with picking just one venue when there are hundreds of incredible options across the Emerald Isle.

Whether you plan on tying the knot in Donegal, Galway, or Dublin, there's a perfect venue out there for everyone.

One county that has some of Ireland's most stunning venues is Co. Cork and we recently visited one hotel that has become incredibly popular for intimate weddings.

Not all of us can afford to invite every single one of our cousins and that great-aunt we met once to our big day so opting for a smaller gathering is the way to go.

Cork's River Lee Hotel is now at the top of our list for an intimate Irish wedding.

The second you walk into the hotel you'll be welcomed by the kindest and most accommodating staff. Knowing such a strong and helpful team is looking after your big day will make everything run as smoothly as possible.

The stunning Cork hotel has a private event space called the Mirror Room which is beyond perfect for your special day.

The glamorous Mirror Room raises the bar for private event space in Cork. Set on the River Lee, this stunning space offers an unparalleled setting for your special event. 

Beautiful signature touches include a hand-crafted mahogany bar, imposing gilt-edged mirrors, luxurious Italian wall hangings, mid-century German Chandeliers, and plush velvet seating, this room comfortably seats 96 guests. 

If you're planning an even smaller occasion then The Lookout and The Snug may be the perfect option for you. The contemporary spaces take in a river view and a terrace ideal for BBQs.

A private dining experience is available for up to 60 people. You can also host cocktail receptions and more informal celebrations for up to 100 people. 

The Mirror Room and The Lookout both offer a spectacular setting for an unforgettable day. 

Your dream wedding may be a small, intimate gathering or it may be a much larger affair. Whatever you are planning, the team at the River Lee Hotel is there to help you bring your dream to life.

"We know that each wedding is unique and that there is nothing more important than providing a personal and professional service from initial contact to your special day."

After just one night at the River Lee Hotel, I felt refreshed, relaxed, and full of the best food and cocktails I've enjoyed in a long time.

The Cork hotel is lavish but cozy and the dream spot for your special day. There's no doubt many beautiful weddings will take place in this dream spot.
