Hosting a big wedding in Cork
As Ireland's largest county, Cork has the hotels and estates to host substantial weddings of a hundred and eighty guests and more, from the city to the coast. Its own airport and good roads make it straightforward for a big guest list to travel in from near and far.
Set against a long southern coastline of harbours and headlands, rolling farmland and river valleys, Cork is served by Cork Airport and the M8 from Dublin, with rail links to Cork City. For a large guest list, that access matters as much as the setting, and the right venue makes gathering everyone effortless.
