Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Cork

also extremely organised.

The food tasting was one of the most enjoyable aspects of planning the wedding. We already knew the food was nice but we were blown away by the different options and it made it difficult to settle on a final menu! Not to mention the lovely wine!

Joanne was very calm when it came to last minute government restrictions imposed on our wedding and last minute guest drop-outs due to Covid. We appreciated how she never put us under any pressure and was so understanding when it came to these issues - this really put us at ease.

The day itself went off without a hitch. The food was gorgeous - everybody was raving about it. Joanne constantly checked in with us and other members of the bridal party. On more than one occasion she noted we were "ahead of schedule" - this didn't happen by accident, it was purely due to Joanne's hard work all day.

We opted to take all of our professional photos at the venue as it is gorgeous and it also saved time on the day - the gardens, Ditchley House and the ballroom all looked great. On Joanne's advice, we chose black seat coverings with gold bows at the meal (given it was NYE) and the room looked amazing on the day!

Joanne co-ordinated all of the other suppliers on the day which ensured everything ran smoothly. Our wedding cake was set up beautifully in the ballroom and in line with the NYE theme.

Overall, having our wedding at the Radisson was the best decision and we cannot wait to visit again.

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel to any couple - in Joanne's capable hands, you are guaranteed that it will be the best day of your life! Thanks for everything - you are an absolute credit to the hotel! xox

itself, Dori and her amazing team looked after everything you could think of and others that you wouldn't. We could switch off and enjoy every minute with our guests. Gabby and his team in the kitchen did an outstanding job. People are still talking about the meal to this day.
It was the ideal venue for us to celebrate our wedding day. We would highly recommend Radisson Blu Hotel and their team.

make us feel like we were "just another wedding", or a cash cow the way some other hotels did. Instead, we consistently felt that she was genuinely interested in us having the best possible day. And we did!

The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests are still taking about it! Not only were the portions of the main mean very generous, but the food we arranged for both the drinks reception and later in the evening was very high quality. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also catered for all dietary restrictions any guests had with no issues, and with proper food. Their menu options are hugely varied, and I couldn't see how there wouldn't be something for everyone on there.

Dori and Dora and the rest of the team there on the day were absolute pros. They run the day like a well oiled machine, and again, make you feel like you are the only wedding happening in the world. In fact, every staff member we met was nicer than the last!

The options for customising the room for your reception also make it feel like your day is your day, not the hotels idea of your day.

Joanne was in constant communication with us in the run up to our wedding, and was a brilliant communicator. She told us exactly what they needed from us, and by when. She is absolutely amazing at her job, and the hotel is lucky to have her.

Overall, one of the best decisions we made was to book Radisson Blu. We can't recommend it enough!

to our requests for a buffet meal that people raved about afterwards, especially the vegetarian curry.

The grounds are perfect for photos, and being in the Radisson is a holiday in itself as it is nice and secluded. The breakfast was also a highlight for guests, particularly the children's buffet area. The kids were also whisked away to the children's club on the night of the wedding, which was a bonus. We can't thank Joanne and the team enough for making our wedding weekend so memorable.

looked after us on the wedding day and she was just fantastic. The whole day ran without a hitch and this is due to the dedication and experienced staff. A huge thank you to everyone who makes the day so special! We have a friend's wedding in the hotel next year, and we are looking forward to going back and experiencing the wedding as a guest.
