Love the food and atmosphere here

I've been to all fancy weddings in 5 star hotels but I prefer The Oriel and love the food and atmosphere here, fish and beef are just top notch with big portions, very good catering staff too.

I was there in wedding. Extremely kind staff. Food are excellent. I recommend for everyone

Staff very helpful and very friendly. Great place to meet friends. Great coffee served here. Lovely food served here and a great atmosphere here. There's an underground car park at the hotel in addition to the Overground car park. Be prepared to get courses a different way around. They cater for weddings at the hotel. There's a leisure centre in the hotel.

Would highly recommend

Brilliant staff here. Had a wedding to attend giving away my sister. Staff were sooooo attentive to our needs and very professional. Would highly recommend. Spa and pool were just what we needed the next day. Looking forward to our next visit.

It’s impossible to choose just one "best" wedding because every celebration at Talbot Hotel Cork is uniquely special.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Always think of health and safety for yourselves and your guests

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of my favorite personal touches at weddings is when couples incorporate meaningful traditions or mementos that reflect their unique love story. For example, some couples have included handwritten letters to each other, exchanged during the ceremony, or created personalized keepsakes that guests can take home as a reminder of the day. These small, heartfelt details really make the celebration feel even more special, adding a personal touch that resonates deeply with everyone involved. It’s those moments that truly make each wedding memorable and meaningful. 💕
