The staff were all amazing and very helpful throughout the entire planning and organising of the wedding. On the day of our wedding the staff went above and beyond for all our needs. We are delighted with the support and assistance we received from all staff at the hotel.

We viewed lots of hotels for our wedding, and from the moment we visited the Oriel we absolutely fell in love, we had met with Aoife as we originally hadn't booked an appointment with the wedding coordinator. Aoife couldn't have done enough for us that day, so welcoming and friendly, we left

immediately knowing that was our hotel. We then scheduled an appointment with Kirsty, who went out of her way to help us in any way she possibly could. I was a very relaxed bride knowing that Kirsty would steer me in the right direction! We met Michael at our food tasting & again on the wedding day, again nothing was ever too much trouble, he had everything under control and made us feel so relaxed. On the day of the wedding, everything went to plan, everything was on schedule, the food was amazing and everyone had such a great time. So many people have said back to us, how good the service and food was. Thank you so much to Kirsty, Michael, Aoife & The Oriel staff for making our day so special!

The Oriel House Hotel was just beyond what we could have asked for, every little detail no matter how big or small the request, they were so happy to oblige! We worked closely with Elaine and James who helped and guided us through the whole process. We had a wedding party of 220 and they promised

the meal would be served at 6:30/6:45 with music starting at 9:15 and they delivered this promise! The bar was fully staffed like we requested and all drink we wanted was catered for, I just can’t thank them enough, we heard horror stories from so many of our friends that have gotten married over the years and we are just so lucky to have absolutely and honestly zero complaints! Can’t wait to return for our anniversary already. Newlyweds Dermot O Donovan and Sarah Kearney.

wedding on Fri, 22nd of July, 2022
We couldn't have asked any better from the Oriel House Hotel, and the wedding coordinator Elaine Gantly.

From the very beginning, we received the best quality of service from the team - from changing our initial wedding date (due to COVID) to helping us plan every step of the way.

Any

Read More

questions that we ever had were answered quickly, regardless of whether it was over email, phone, or face-to-face.

Elaine also helped massively in contacting one of the vendors on our behalf as we had misplaced their contact details from a previous wedding expo we attended. We were afraid that we were going to lose the deposit to this, but Elaine looked into it and sorted everything. She really went above and beyond for us.

When the big day arrived, Elaine and the team welcomed us to the hotel with all the guests in the Drinks Reception area. The day went so smoothly from start-to-finish, and our guests also found the day to be amazing and 'one of the best weddings they've ever been to'.

This is a massive credit to the Oriel House Hotel, their function room can cater for large numbers, their drinks reception area is spacious, the food is always top quality and the bridal suite is comfortable, clean and for us, the best we've seen.

I'd highly recommend the team and staff at the Oriel House Hotel, as we feel we've made good friends anytime we go back for a stay, or even for lunch / dinner.

On a side note, they have a wide range of wedding packages to suit everyone - which is obviously a massive benefit!

Thanks again for everything guys!

I knew when we got engaged that The Oriel House Hotel would be the perfect hotel to host our wedding. I have attending weddings in the past at this hotel so I was delighted when our date was available.

Elaine Gantley was our wedding coordinator at the Oriel and what can I say. From the moment we

met Elaine she was so professional and her expertise was impeccable throughout the planning process. We told her what we would like and no matter the request she had no problem assisting us. Elaine kept in contact throughout and helped us so much ! It was so stress free !

The set up at the hotel for our wedding was out of this world ! We also held our ceremony at the hotel as well as our reception and both rooms were so beautifully decorated and kept within our colour scheme.

The food was so delicious and the hotel accommodated those with dietary requirements and also had a teenage/kids menu ! All our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the food and how beautiful the hotel was on the day.

The staff at the hotel on the day were fantastic ! They were so helpful and friendly and made sure everyone was looked after.

The bridal suite was gorgeous and so comfortable, spacious and luxurious. It had a real wow factor ! We didn’t want to leave the following morning .,,,,,

I would highly recommend anyone who is getting married to talk to Elaine and the team at the hotel. The attention to detail I don’t think we would have found elsewhere….

I would sincerely like to that all the team at The Oriel for giving myself and my husband and our guests the best day of our lives .

From the first time we stayed in the Oriel House Hotel we fell in love with it and decided that was where we wanted to be married. Fast forward a few months and we attended our first wedding fayre in the hotel and met with Elaine. She made us feel so welcome and at ease that even before we left the

Read More

room we had decided it was definitely the hotel for us. We booked our date soon after and had regular contact with Elaine and her team and no question or request was ever too much. We travelled to and stayed in the hotel a number of times before the wedding day and each time the staff were such a pleasure to deal with, from the reception staff to bar staff and even the breakfast staff (who all remembered us every time we arrived). On the day of the wedding the hotel could not do enough for us. Elaine had everyone where they were supposed to be exactly when they should of been there and even when we were a little late back from getting our photographs taken she arranged for us to still spend some time with our guests before the meal started. When the meal finished the dining staff came to meet us after the tables were cleared to congratulate us and wished us an enjoyable night which we thought was so nice of them as they were finished their shift and on their way home. This is just an example of the fantastic staff the hotel has and why having a wedding, or any celebration in the Oriel House Hotel is a must!

Thank you again for everything you did for us!

We had our wedding in the Oriel House Hotel in April. I cannot fault one thing. From start to finish, everything was amazing. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. When we first met our wedding planner Elaine Gantly, she really put us at ease and from that moment, she was able to work with us,

taking all the heavy lifting from us and ensuring our day was exactly what we wanted. It was and actually was even better than we could have imagined. James the manager on duty on the day of the wedding also took the time out to meet us beforehand and ensured everything went to plan. I cannot thank Elaine, James and all the staff enough. We had the wedding of our dreams and it's all thanks to the staff at Oriel House Hotel. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and the staff were perfect. I would highly recommend anyone seeking a wedding venue to consider the Oriel House Hotel. I truly mean it when I say we cannot name one fault. We will be forever grateful to the staff for making our fairytale come true.

We had our wedding in the Oriel House Hotel last Thursday. It's an amazing hotel. The staff are just a pleasure to deal with. Elaine, the wedding coordinator, was a dream to deal with. She took care of everything and made it all stress-free for us. She was so hands on. Killian was an absolute dote.

From the moment we picked our wedding date, and chose Oriel House Hotel to be our wedding venue, they helped us every step of the way. Elaine and Ciara were always there to answer any questions we had, and they were the most helpful throughout. The staff on the day of our wedding were amazing,

always asking to make sure that we were okay. They were always helping us with any requests. We couldn't have asked for a better and nicer staff to work with on our wedding day. The whole experience was amazing, and we would highly recommend Oriel House Hotel to any wedding couple. The food is second to none, not to mind the staff. Everything was outstanding. So much so, that my brother in law is getting married there next year because they loved the experience from our wedding. We recommended then highly. We had 25 guests, and it was the best day in the best possible venue. Thanks so much to Oriel House Hotel for all you did in making our day so special. We will be back again for sure!

We would highly recommend booking your wedding at Oriel House Hotel. Our wedding coordinator, Elaine, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was a problem, she was only a phone call or email away if we had any questions. She made sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly on the

day. The venue itself was perfect, and our reception room was beautifully laid out for both ceremony and reception afterwards. The food was delicious and the overall service was exceptional. The staff were so friendly. All of this made our day extra special. After viewing other hotels in Cork, we were so happy we booked our special day at Oriel House Hotel.

We got married last October, 2020.

We had the wonderful experience of having our wedding ceremony and reception in Oriel House Hotel, in July 2021. We planned our wedding for July 2020, but due to covid we postponed to 2021. Our experience with our wedding coordinator, Elaine Grantley, was second to none. Her attention to detail and

her professionalism are outstanding. She made sure on the day that all of our wishes were carried out to the highest standard. Due to restrictions, we had 50 guests, and they all felt safe and secure as a result of the great lengths Oriel House Hotel went to. Everything was of an exceptional standard, from the ceremony room, to the drinks reception, to the function room, to the high quality food and accommodation, and to the breakfast the next morning and everything else in between. We really appreciate the hospitality shown by James and all the staff, and for making our day so special. We would have no hesitation at all recommending Elaine and James and Oriel House Hotel for a couples special day. We would like to warmly thank all the staff, for making our day perfect.

We were married in Oriel House on Dec 31st 2020. It was definitely a wedding to remember.

The night before our wedding, the Taoiseach announced weddings were down to six guests. But, unfortunately, he failed to finish his sentence and say it was from Jan 3rd, so for about the next hour before

Read More

this was clarified, there was a huge panic.

The Oriel House Hotel was good enough to agree to open just for us for our wedding during level 5. THANK YOU for keeping your promise as from talking to other brides, I know other hotels did not. No wonder you have won so many wedding awards in the past few years because you know how to treat your clients. You made us feel like we mattered rather than just being a business transaction.

Elaine was amazing since Day 1 when we booked it for 240 guests, and she didn't give up on us when we down to about 24! Instead, she came up with ideas and solutions to help the day keep its magic. In addition, she genuinely cares for her couples.

When Elaine was not available, Ciara took over and helped to keep the dream alive and kicking. It must have been a logistical nightmare to sort out staff, food stock, prices and maintain the highest covid standards for just us. But they did, and it means the world to us.

On the evening itself, another professional and friendly manager, Niamh, ran the show for us and the few staff running the bar and waiting on tables did a great job. Special thanks to the chef and kitchen staff too. What a feast! Everybody loved the food.

Our guests very much appreciated the mulled wine and tasty bites on arrival. The kids loved the hot chocolate. The bucket of ‘CORONA’ beers was a bit of fun after the year we had!

The ballroom looked so pretty and didn't feel like we were missing out. There was an atmosphere of magic in the ballroom that day.

The stairs make a great spot for wedding photos, and we were able to take socially distant photos due to the wide-open stairs.

The honeymoon suite was heaven. After not being allowed to travel for about 1 year, it was amazing to sleep in a different place! Our guests said the same about their own rooms, and we all felt it was a real novelty to be away from home.

It was so lovely to have all 25 people turn up for breakfast. We were the only 25 in the whole hotel, so there was just one sitting. It was so lovely to see everyone the next day.

I won't say it was stress-free, but planning a wedding never is, especially a Wedding during a pandemic.

I particularly encourage any brides & grooms to consider having Christmas/Winter weddings in the Oriel. The twinkling lights outside and the rich Christmas decorations inside make the place extra special at that time of year. We are looking forward to doing it all again on Dec 29th 2021, with a ballroom FULL of people with music, dancing and staying up past midnight!

We were super impressed with the main room when we arrived back to the hotel.
The food, service and overall organisation from all members staff on the wedding day was of notable top quality, and this was relayed back to us by many of our guests.
Both Lauren and Brian were both incredibly helpful over the whole weekend. The effort that they went to and the shift they put in, did not go unnoticed by us.

So many thanks again to you and all the team at the Oriel.

Hi Elaine

I just wanted to email on behalf of myself and Ross to say a massive thank you for everything for our wedding day on the 22nd February.

From the first time we set foot in the Oriel on the 8th December 2017 on the night we got engaged, every staff member we have met has been

amazing.

When we met you first in January 2018 up to our wedding in Feb, you were brilliant. We cannot thank you enough. Any email, every meeting, you were a pleasure to deal with.

All of our guests are still commenting on how amazing the hotel was, as the majority of our 250 guests had never been in the hotel before. The were all blown away, as were we. It surpassed every expectation we had.

The day itself was perfect from start to finish. From the moment we arrived in the hotel we were treated like royalty, everything went perfect.

Will you send a personal thank you to Lauren, Gillian, James, Niamh, Susan and Janice and apologies if I'm missing anyone else. But they all went above and beyond on the day, and that thank you extends to you too. You had laid the foundation for the day, so it all wouldn't have gone off perfectly if it wasn't for you.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and hotel, I really can't. Our day was amazing, and you all played a massive role in that.

I could go on, and on, it was the best day of our lives, and I want to thank you for your part in that. We cannot wait for our anniversary stay already, but I have no doubt we will be back before that.

Again a million thank you's.

Kindest Regards,

Joanne and Ross Cashman

The day itself was everything and more than what we could have hoped for and we really want to thank you, Ronan, James and the team for all the effort and hard work ye all put in to help make our day one to remember.

Our guests enjoyed the day just as much as we did with amazing comments coming back from everyone, particularly about the decor and the food.

We knew from the beginning that our day was going to be amazing but it really went above and beyond our expectations and this is down to the amazing effort put in by all the staff and team at the hotel.

Thank you Elaine for being so helpful through the process, for your ideas and suggestions and planning our day to absolute perfection.

Thank you to Ronan, James and the team for the amazing service and care given to us and our guests on the day of our wedding and ensuring that we were all looked after so well.

From the moment myself and Ciaran met Elaine we were sold on having our wedding at the Oriel. We had viewed a few other hotels but after about 5 minutes of chatting to Elaine she made us feel so at ease and she made the planning sound like fun. She was our only point of contact the entire year and a

half which was brilliant. There was absolutely no messing around. We had to change our wedding date a few months in and Elaine bent over backwards to help us. On the morning itself she organised a room with good light for the wedding party to get hair and make up done and even provided bubbles and nice treats. She just made it so relaxing. James the manager on duty in the evening was equally as lovely and helpful as well as all the staff. Food was amazing and there was even a few surprises we didn't even know about thrown in. I have lost count of the amount of newly engaged couples I have recommended the Oriel too and really hope I get to be a guest at many more weddings there.

Thanks again to Elaine, James and all the staff especially the bar staff they were run off their feet that night.

Love the O'Callaghans

From the first day that we went to the Oriel to check for availability to the day after the wedding. All we can say is wow.

Elaine was fantastic no favor request or job was a problem. Elaine made sure everything was perfect on the day. The drinks reception in the new room was perfect. It really

allowed people to relax before the reception.

When we arrived at the hotel we were shown the room and I actually cried it was amazing better than we could have imagined. The food was fantastic.

All the staff were a credit to the hotel. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We got our wedding photos taken in Blarney castle so the Oriel is in the ideal location. Thanks again for making our day truly magical.

We first met you at the Southern Brides Exhibition in City Hall in January 2017. Immediately we warmed to you, you were very excited for us on our recent engagement and you were excited to play a part in planning our Wedding Day. Also you were very informative which we found extremely helpful. We

knew very quickly that you were a genuine and caring person.

From the first day we walked through the Courtyard up to the hotel for a wedding fair in January 2017, I knew I was walking into a very special place, instantly I loved the Hotel.

The Wedding Fair was simple, with only a few suppliers this meant that I could imagine that I was walking through the Hotel on our Wedding Day, I could see the set up and feel the magic. We sat down with Conor (he no longer works at the Hotel) for a chat to see what the Hotel could offer and it was clear straight away that nothing was a problem and that the Oriel would do what they could to make our Wedding Day all that we wished for.

We did go view another Hotel but it did not make us feel as special as the Oriel did, it didn't give us goosebumps like the Oriel did and it didn't listen to us like the Oriel did.


The decision was made for us, our Wedding Day would be at the Oriel.

The entire process of planning our Wedding was made so simple. Absolutely nothing was a problem and any time we met you or spoke on the phone, honestly it was like speaking with a friend I've known all my life to plan the most special day of our lives. You sat with us and chatted about our interests and you always remembered them. This made us feel like we were friends, that we were important.

Elaine you have an amazing calming influence, from the beginning right to the day before the Wedding, you made me feel like everything was ok and organising this day would be easy. And it was easy with your help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Elaine, James and Staff of the Oriel for making our Wedding Day one that we will treasure forever.

A very special Thank You to James, who ran the day like clock-work! I was so happy to see you Elaine when I arrive at the Hotel because it was like seeing a friend.

The set-up for the Ceremony was amazing. It felt like something out of a fairy tale. The set-up for the meal was everything I wanted and more. As soon as James opened the doors and lead us through I had goose bumps and a warm feeling in my heart. I love those chairs and the cherry blossom trees! The candelabras were fabulous and we loved the lighting!

The meal was amazing! The service of the meal was fantastic. All the staff from waiters, bar staff, residents bar staff and reception staff were all very friendly and so helpful. They are all an asset to the Oriel. And I couldn't finish this email without mentioning that suite we had for our second night - Room 110.....Wow!!!!!! That was the icing on an amazing weekend! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Elaine, James and Staff of the Oriel for making our Wedding Day one that we will treasure forever.

wedding on Sat, 30th of December, 2017
Myself and my wife were married here at the end of December 2017. We had both the ceremony and the reception in the Oriel House Hotel.
Before we had even booked and confirmed..from the moment we stepped foot in the door to view the venue, we were treated like royalty.
After booking the wedding,

Read More

numerous meetings took place with our wedding co-ordinator Elaine. The woman is amazing, you wont go wrong with her.
So personable, and approachable, nothing is too much effort for her. Her personal opinions on a few little ideas that were required were also amazing.
Throughout numerous meetings and phone calls, we really got the sense that Elaine was there working for us, getting everything right, just the way we asked.
The professionalism and structure bought to the whole planning process really put us at ease, and while of course there are stressful parts to planning a wedding, working with Elaine and the Oriel was certainly not one of them.

While planning the wedding, the girls at the accommodation desk were fantastic with organising rooms and updating lists of guests rooms etc also, which can become a bit of a burden if not handled properly. But again, the staff were fantastic here.

We had the menu tasting approx 6 or 7 weeks before the wedding, and were blown away by the standard of food and wine, and the standard of service we received on the night.

On the day itself, the ceremony room was done up amazingly. We were due to kick off proceedings at 2.30, but just as the Bride was about to leave the Honeymoon Suite to come to the ceremony, she found an issue with her dress, and panic stations ensued.
Again though, Elaine and the guys in the Oriel were nothing short of immense. While keeping the Bride calm with sandwiches and prosecco, all the guests retired to the bar for a quick drink while Elaine got a seamstress to the hotel within minutes to work on the dress.

After the ceremony, we used the lobby of the hotel for some pictures, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The ceremony room was transformed into the reception room while our guests enjoyed a drinks reception in the main restaurant accompanied by a piano player.

We wondered after the menu tasting night, whether the standard of food we got that night would be replicated on the night of the wedding. We needed have worried. Again, the food was simply amazing, and the meal from start to finish was brilliant. It says something when all the guests come up commending the food. We ate and drank the night away without a worry in the world. James and his team continued to take amazing care of us throughout the evening, we couldn’t have wanted for anything more to be honest.

Little touches like meeting the bar manager during the meal tasting, and during another meeting, being introduced to James, ensured that we were familiar with faces and names, all of which adds to making us feel so comfortable there on the day of the wedding.

The HoneyMoon suite is just amazing. I’ve chatted to a few people who’ve gotten married recently and when describing the suite at the Oriel, they couldn’t believe the layout, size and standard of it. It’s a proper suite in every sense of the word.

As part of the package we also got a 6 month gym and leisure centre membership included, which was a lovely additional touch. Being from the area, we really utilised this in the lead up to the wedding.

The staff were brilliant throughout - Elaine, James, Lauren to name just a few. Also a special mention to Kelvin who was behind the bar for some of the night ,and in front of it for some of it! Absolute legend. Talking to the guy for 2 mins is like he’s your best buddy.
It’s little things like this that made the whole weekend exceptional. The venue was amazing, food was amazing, we had a great time, but the staff really made it for us. Thank you guys :-)

“For anyone contemplating booking their wedding at the Oriel House Hotel, don’t delay and book it today.

Even at times when we thought

we were asking a stupid question, Elaine was always there to help and give us advice on what would be best for the day! She really knows how to put people at ease and it makes organizing the rest of your wedding much easier.

We haven’t had better food at any other wedding we’ve attended and our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed it! (Go for the beef)

The hotel staff are amazing and couldn’t do enough for us and our guests and should be highly commended for that!

The Bridal Suite is outstanding, we were lucky enough to stay there for 3 nights as no other wedding was on that weekend and we didn’t want to check out after the 3rd night!

We honestly can’t recommend the Oriel House enough, and would it all over again tomorrow if we could.

My Husband & I held our wedding in The Oriel House Hotel on St. Patrick’s Day and we have to say they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
We could not praise the Oriel staff enough.
We had a large wedding of just under two hundred guests and they catered for us without a problem.

Read More


Most of our guests were travelling to the wedding and accommodation was a big issue for us.
Sharon Buckley, the accommodation manager, worked tirelessly to fit in all of our guests and worked with us on many aspects of the wedding on top of accommodation from the moment we booked our wedding. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
A lot of the hotel has recently been refurbished and it all looks very impressive.
The GM, Ronan, and his team did a terrific job in looking after us over three days.
Nothing was too much trouble and all our guests were really impressed with every aspect about the hotel.
The quality of food from Head Chef Ronan and the service and friendliness of all the staff was exceptional.
Philip, the Banqueting manager, ran our wedding meal service like clockwork. We had Closhes for the top table and Philip appeared to control the coordination of this through his finger tips!!
We had a new wedding co-ordinator, Elaine, start about a month before our wedding and her attention to every detail we requested was top notch.
We could not compliment and thank all the team enough at The Oriel for all they did for us and all our guests had an amazing few days.
The honeymoon suite was out of this world, spread over 4 rooms and was the best one we saw. On the morning of the wedding we were able to have breakfast with our families in the Honeymoon Suite Dining Room.
There were two other weddings on the same weekend and we felt very looked after for the whole three days we were there.
I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone considering a wedding venue

was available so we had 3 months to organise the wedding! Elaine immediately put me at ease and reassured me first of all it was possible .We made changes to our package 2 weeks before wedding and no job was too big for Elaine she was outstanding.. I called her my fairy godmother as she made everything perfect. Our Ceremony was held in the Oriel and the room was simply stunning . Everything from the music we wanted played to the lighting in the room, the fairy backdrop everything was flawless.. Elaine and Conor were on hand all that day . I gave them a few difficult tasks including hanging flags which I know were tricky with the height of room and everything was perfect . It took my breath away when I walked in. Not to mention how nice they both were on the day . We had sandwiches And drinks served after ceremony and it was done perfectly. When the bell rang for the meal we made our way upstairs. My new husband and I walked into the function room with our song playing we were greeted by everyone and we were delighted with the decor of the room. Exactly how we wanted it. They set up the room perfect ( with the flags again )!! . It was fantastic. We decided to do speeches before the meal as we wanted them done early. Unfortunately nerves set in for me and my speech was over quick and I never got to thank Elaine and Conor for everything they did for us. So I'm taking this time to thank them. Elaine you are exceptional at your job. I would never have thought it possible to organise my wedding in such short time . Me and Gabor thank you for making our day so special.

We had our wedding in the oriel house hotel in April. It was a lovely venue, lovely food and great service. I loved the room with the candle centre pieces on the table and the mood lighting really gave it an intimate feel. There was a few hiccups on the day but nothing major. We really enjoyed our

Hi Kieran. Just wanted to say thanks a million for everything you and the hotel did for us last Thursday. Everything went perfectly and we wouldn't have changed a thing about the whole day. The meal from start to finish was superb and everyone commented on how good it was. The reception room was

stunning, and the Bridal Suite - WOW WOW WOW is all I can say about it - pure luxury.. You really made it so easy for us; I felt like I didn't have to lift a finger in organising the whole thing. I certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Oriel for any function. Thanks again for everything!

Hi Kieran,
We're on our honeymoon in thailand at the moment. Just wanted to drop a quick word to say thank you so much from sharon and myself, for all the help and organising and making the day what it was and making things as hassle free as possible for us, it really made the difference and

helped us enjoy the day that bit more. It was a huge success, everyone had a great time, the food was absolutely beautiful, and chris and the team were polite, professional and courteous from start to finish, and made the entire night run seemlessly. Plus, being able to stay in the bridal suite the sunday night made all the difference, we were relaxed and refreshed on monday which made all the difference.

The entire experience has been a pleasure for us from start to finish, thanks to yourself, Chris, Philip and the team, Thanks again Kieran.

On behalf of my husband and I, I can't thank Kieran and the staff of the Oriel House Hotel enough for everything they did leading up to our wedding day on Fri last 31st July. They made us at ease with all the help they gave us in preparing for the day i.e. favors, table planning, room set up, etc.

On the day itself our guests and us can't praise them enough as everything was well organised and ran smoothly which put us at ease. All the waiting staff were politie and accomadating, food was excellent and choices were great. No job was too big or too small for anyone at the Oriel House Hotel.

We got married on the 23rd of May and from the beginning the Oriel were fantastic to deal with. Patricia Barry was absolutely fantastic, she was always an email or phone call away if we had any questions about anything on the run up to our wedding. On the day of the wedding we were looked after so

well once we arrived at the hotel it was brilliant, once we set foot inside we didn't worry about anything else because as promised the staff and management looked after us and everything was taken care of. The meal was absolutely fantastic and I am still getting complements on the food and on how much people enjoyed themselves. The Leslie suite, the bar, the restaurant, and the bridal suite have all recently been renovated and they are beautiful. The following day we had guests back for some finger food and we had under estimated the amount of people to return so at the last minute we needed to up the numbers and this wasn't a problem for the hotel, we also wanted to change the time the food was served and again this was no problem for them.

I would highly recommend the Oriel House for a wedding, we had a fantastic experience and a lot of that is down to the fantastically friendly and welcoming staff and management at the hotel! We were told to relax and trust them before the wedding and we did and they looked after everything from start to finish.

covered everything from champagne to cleaning up after us so it was perfect when we came up after the ceremony. The wedding reception itself was perfect, I couldn't fault them the staff were absolutely amazing and even stayed on for an extra few hours to clean up and keep serving us. The party never stopped and the staff done so much for us. I would 100 percent recommend the oriel house hotel for your wedding day if you like to sit back and enjoy it they will make sure that you do. Thanks so much to each and everyone of you that made our day so special especially Patricia , Philip and Kieran .Looking forward to celebrating my 1st anniversary with you all. Food was gorgeous and the drink was flowing all night and the room looked beautiful , everything was perfect. Had a beautiful day in the spa aswell it was amazing and the kids had a ball the day after the wedding in the swimming pool, it was great for all ages, we had a ball thanks.

All the staff were just so friendly and couldn't do enough for us especially Ula and Matthew and his buddy! Can't remember all their names! Can you thank them all please. All the waitresses, bar staff were just so friendly. Poor lads put up with so much! They struggled getting us out of the bar! Felt like royalty for the whole weekend with you all fussing over us. The following day was just as fantastic! You were so accommodating allowing us bring sweets and entertainment for the kids, music and sing songs all hours of the morning.
Look I could keep going but honestly thank you so much. You were patient with me and I stole some of your ideas band were unbelievable!
Hope my guests drank enough on the Sunday to make it worth your while giving us the Henry suite! Ha

and professional hands of Patricia and the Wedding team. The day itself was flawless and the staff deserve huge praise. We had our Civil Ceremony in the hotel which set the tone for the day which welcomed our guests into a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything ran so smoothly throughout the day. The attention to detail and absolute commitment to making our day an outstanding day, I would like to give a special mention to Damien, Ula, and all the Banqueting staff who worked tirelessly to ensure everything went perfectly. The service was excellent. They were a part of it all, and felt like extended family.

The day after the Wedding we had a family meal in the Resturant and we were still reeling from the day before, and having great laughs chatting about our big day. A special thank you to Philip and the Chef's for the top class food we all enjoyed.

We had family who traveled to Cork and their stay in the Oriel was so impressive. Ourselves and all our guests can only reccommend the Oriel House Hotel to any couple. It was simply fantastic and I strongly believe unbeatable.

We really had the most wonderful day with amazing memories and could not have picked anywhere better than the Oriel House Hotel.

Aoife & Brian Dilworth.

When the hunt began to find a suitable venue, it became immediately apparent that this would be no easy task. Having visited a few other alternatives, we were beginning to feel defeated, having not found a venue or set-up that we liked. Then we saw an ad for the Oriel House Hotel's Wedding Fair,

Read More

giving us the opportunity to see the hotel in full 'wedding mode', so we went along for a look.
Immediately we were given the impression that we were in good hands. The staff were friendly, experienced, confident and very welcoming.
At that stage we didn't have much prepared and had not finalised our plans, but after sitting down with Janice, we were able to get a good idea of what was available.
Having decided to go with Oriel, it was then the planning begun in earnest. With regular communication from Patricia, through emails, calls and meetings we finally had everything set for our big day. From there we were assured "we'll take care of everything" - and that they certainly did.
At our menu tasting we were introduced to Damien, who would manage our big day. We really couldn't have asked for more on the day, from the moment of arrival we were never in doubt as to what was happening or where we needed to be next - which is very important when caught up in the emotions of the day!
The meal, as we were constantly reminded, is the one thing people will always go home talking about and the Oriel definitely didn't let us down. Everybody raved about the beautiful food on offer and in particular the lovely staff serving it.
Overall, we had an amazing day and so much if was down to how much we were able to relax and enjoy it - and that was all thanks to the brilliant team at the Oriel.
I would definitely recommend this venue.

Leading up to the wedding day, my wife and I were obviously getting a bit nervous and we were hoping that the day would run smoothly and for everything to fit in place. On the day itself, everything went brilliantly and a lot of this was down to the service and organisation of the hotel staff. The food and drink was of very high quality, as all of our guests would agree, and the honeymoon suite was amazing. We would highly recommend the Oriel House Hotel for any wedding.

I had been living in Scotland for 3 years with my fiancé when he proposed back in August 2012. It was always part of our ‘agreement’ that if I moved there we would go back to Cork to get married so once we got engaged I couldn’t wait for Christmas to come around so I could get back home and

look at potential hotels for our wedding reception. Being from Ballincollig I always wanted to get married in the Old Church of St Mary and St John’s but never gave much thought to having our wedding reception locally but my fiancé (who is Scottish) was quite keen on viewing the Oriel so when we got home for Christmas it was the first hotel we went to see. After our viewing and discussing different wedding packages we were both really won over. We just loved that it was right on the doorstep of my home and the church and living away from home made me want to keep everything closer together.
The wedding package the hotel had offered was better than the other wedding packages that had been priced for us from other hotels, we felt we were getting value for money without compromising what we wanted for our day.
We were also equally won over after going for our menu tasting, we had asked to slightly change the options for our starter and the chef had no problem in doing this. The quality of food we received at both the menu tasting and on the wedding day was out of this world, we had so many good things said about the food from our guests which is a testament to how impressive it was, as we all know everyone usually complains about the food they get at a wedding but I can honestly say everyone raved about it. One of our groomsmen still has a picture of his main course on his phone! haha
I must really say a massive thank you to both Patricia (the wedding coordinator) and Sharon (in reservations) for the year and a halfs worth of emails that went back and forward between us right upto our wedding on the 20th June 2014. I was apprehensive about organizing my big day away from home b

needs! On the night before the wedding, we had full confidence that the Oriel House hotel would provide the exact setting, ambience and service that we wanted for our special day.

Barry and I, were so delighted with every aspect of the Hotel on the day. The drinks reception was beautifully arranged and the banquet room was decorated to perfection. Patricia had taken our ideas and added her own special touch to them which didn’t go unnoticed. The guest bedrooms were modern and comfortable.

The guests at the wedding commented on how friendly and courteous all the staff were throughout the day and night and we would like to say a special thanks to Damien and Ula, who were never far away from us from the moment we arrived at the hotel right through until the first dance. The meal and the service was outstanding. I loved that the staff who served the top table knew all the names of the wedding party. While this may only seem like a small thing, we felt it showed great attention to detail.
Even very late into the night, Barry was on hand, to ensure that even in the residents bar the wedding party and guests were comfortable and looked after.

I would have full confidence in recommending the Oriel House Hotel to any couple who are thinking of booking their wedding here.

Thank you again for making our day so special.

Sharon & Barry Fitzgerald.

The food was top quality and the staff, well what can I say they were exceptional. You were a pleasure to deal with & so helpful answering all my queries. Right from the very beginning when we went to view your hotel, we knew that it was the place for us as it surpassed all our expectations. The atmosphere in the hotel on the day of the wedding was brilliant and the décor of the function room was out of this world. You got the theme down to the very last detail, we were gob smacked when we entered the room. On arrival we were treated like VIP’s and that didn’t stop there, we stayed in the amazing Bridal suite for 2 nights and were treated like royalty the entire time and served a fantastic breakfast both mornings. I really can’t say enough about the Oriel house, you and your staff. So many family members and friends complimented on how amazing the hotel looked, how good the food was and how friendly the staff were on the day. I would 100% recommend the Oriel House Hotel for weddings.

Thank you so much for everything and we hope to bump into you when we treat ourselves to dinner in your fabulous Powder Keg bar someday soon.

The food was unbelievable and there was no shortage whatsoever with it. From the nibbles beforehand and the sparkling wine, to the meal itself & the evening reception food. Everyone is still raving about the food, esp. the chicken/fish & chip cones and pork wraps in the evening food! We also loved that they were considerate enough to leave us with sandwiches for 2 in the morning when people were starting to nibble again :) The Bridal suite is wow and breakfast the following morning was just what we needed. We had an amazing day and one we will remember forever and will talk about forever. The Oriel House Hotel was our perfect location!
