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:

• Arrival Reception
• 4 Course Dinner
• Glass of Wine
• Evening Reception

There will be local vendors also showcasing their services and there’ll also be spot prizes and giveaways on the day.  You can now check availability for your perfect wedding date on their own website: http://www.corkinternationalairporthotel.com/weddings/ or through the WeddingDates.ie page for your Unusual Wedding Venue in Cork

You can also take a quick look at our video walk-through of the hotel – it definitely has the WOW factor in my opinion!

Trash the Dress is a relatively new concept that many brides-to-be that I’ve met haven’t heard of yet (and most of them seem shocked and horrified at the suggestion!)  “Trash The Dress” began in America (where else?!) and basically involves the bride (and sometimes the groom) in a photoshoot totally different to the posed, perfect read more…

As an avid Electric-Picnic-goer I love the festival vibe and a definite highlight is hanging out in the marquees and wonderfully decorated tents in the rolling fields of Stradbally.  I’ve been overheard manys the time saying that EP is like a playground for adults!  The Bollywood Bar at the picnic is a top spot to read more…

I wish I had a euro for every bride I’ve heard say I want something different – and yet time and again the tried and tested beef and salmon turn up on the menu, and despite a lone chocolate fountain bubbling in the corner, things are pretty much kept very traditional.
