Take a peek at CityNorth Hotel, Co. Meath

Its been awhile since we published one of our wedding venue video walkthroughs here on WeddingDates.ie and I can’t even take credit for this one as it was professionally filmed by the Hotel itself.  Watch this video of the CityNorth Hotel in Gormanstown, Co. Meath to see how they can make your big day one to remember….

What did you think of our video of the CityNorth Hotel in Gormanstown, Meath a short distance from Dublin? I was really impressed with the funky feel of this hotel, and while it doesn’t have grounds of its own for photos, they have a special arrangement to allow you and your immediate bridal party exclusive access to two privately owned stately homes close to the hotel for wedding photographs (indoors and outdoors).  Another nice touch is the complementary basket of gourmet nibbles and bottle of champagne which they provide for you to enjoy throughout the photography session - my kind of hotel!

Impressed?  You can check availability for the CityNorth Hotel here.

Wedding Showcase: Oriel House, Cork

We all know that Cork people are probably some of the most fiercely loyal and county-proud in the country!  And that probably explains why so many Cork people, never leave Cork!!  Cork brides, will inevitably marry in their home county and The Oriel House Hotel in Ballincollig has played host to hundreds of these brides throughout the years.

Next Sunday, 7th March they are having their annual wedding showcase, where you can see the banquet hall done up in its wedding finery.  What I loved about the place was the funky lighting and the way the hotel has blended the old and the new aspects of the building so well.

You can watch our little video walkthrough of the Oriel House to give you a taster of what to expect:

Up, up and away! Wedding Showcase in Cork International Airport Hotel

Now I know the idea of an airport hotel probably does not conjure up romantic weddingy images in your mind, but I urge you to pause for thought for the Cork International Airport Hotel.  It is not your run-of-the-mill airport hotel, it is one of the funkiest hotels in Ireland and has alot to offer a couple who are a bit quirky but still want a hotel wedding.

The whole decor of the place is really unusual, with coloured lighting, unusual sculptures and a real retro-feel.  They are opening up the hotel to showcase it as a wedding venue this Sunday and if you haven’t been to the hotel before, it is WELL worth a trip up.  Make sure you check out the loos!

Cork International Wedding Showcase is taking place this Sunday 11th October  between 1 and 5pm.  The incredible staff of the hotel will be showcasing the property as a exciting venue to host your wedding.

There is a extra special wedding offer available on the day of €49.00 per guest which includes:
