To say that Oriel House was an amazing wedding venue would be an understatement. They gave us the best day of our lives. We were so happy with how everything went, it was faultless. The food and service was superb! The honeymoon suite was out of this world. The ceremony room and drinks reception in the restaurant were beautiful. The table settings were unreal. The atmosphere and the vibe in the hotel just made us feel so at ease. There is nothing that we would change, they gave us our fairytale day and we will be forever grateful to everyone at Oriel House but especially to Tanisha our wedding planner for her kindness and patience. Top Class!

Our recent wedding at the Oriel House Hotel was perfect from start to finish and exactly how we wanted. Tanusha only recently took over the role as wedding coordinator, but she was completely up to speed. She was a joy to work with, always at the end of the phone and so warm and welcoming. The other members of staff of the day were wonderful and so professional. Our wedding couldn't have gone any better and I would highly recommend the Oriel House Hotel to look after your wedding.

We got married in the Oriel house on the 15th of June, and we could not fault the hotel or staff in any way. Absolutely amazing. The meal was gorgeous from the starter to the desert. Kirsty was our wedding coordinator and she was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. She was always coming back to any emails I sent her very quickly, and it’s obvious that she really cares about the couples. The staff during the day and night were also excellent. I have to mention Michael. manager on the evening/night. Looked after us all so well. Everything went so smoothly, and this is all down to the oriel. If you are considering having your wedding here, don’t hesitate to book. I can’t say one bad word about it. We had one of the best days of our lives, and if we had to do it all again, we would 100% choose the Oriel. Thank you so much Nicola & Kevin

After the dust has settled on our wedding day we are so happy to leave this review about the Oriel, back in January 2022 we went on the search for our wedding venue and after being disappointed by many venues around Cork we made an appointment to view the Oriel before looking further afield, after 5 minutes of looking around the hotel, before we ever even saw anything in great depth we both looked at one another and said "this is the one". We placed our deposit on the day and didn't think much about it until late 2023. We first met Kirsty in late 2023. From the first second we met, she made both of us feel so at ease with the whole process. You could tell that she knew exactly what she was doing, and none of our unconventional requests were any hassle for her. She always kept us in the loop with what was going on and was always a phone call or an email away if we had any questions. On the actual day itself, Kirsty and Michael played an absolute blinder. From the second the first guest walked through the doors to when they finished up for the night, they made sure that every single person was looked after. Not only did they build up a rapport with Myself and Dervla, but they were also in constant communication with the bridal party and families to make sure that everything was running smoothly. I don't think we could speak highly enough of the day, the hotel, and the people involved. They made our day so special and one we will remember forever. All the guests are still going on about how good of a day it was, and we will 100% be returning to the Oriel for more family events in the future. You are a credit to yourselves, and the company, and we could not recommend Oriel enough. Jonathan & Dervla

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!

Myself and my husband got married in the Oriel House in August, we had the most amazing day. Everything went absolutely perfectly, there isn’t one fault we could find. Beatrice was helping us along the way with all the planning and she made it very easy for us to get things organised, on the day we had both Beatrice and Kirsty on hand making sure everything ran smoothly. Our day was absolutely amazing . If you're planning a wedding I couldn’t recommend the Oriel House more they were fantastic.

We had our wedding on the 30th of December in the Oriel House Hotel . We couldn't recommend Elaine and the team enough! They were absolutely amazing! From the first time we met Elaine we knew we were in good hands. She was a pleasure to deal with. So professional and nothing was too much! The food and service was fantastic. Our guests are still talking about it. Thank you to the staff at the Oriel House Hotel for making our day just perfect!

I would like to thanks the staff and especially Elaine for making myself and my husbands day so special . It was flawless from start to finish. The food was divine and the feedback from my guests was that it was the best wedding they have been to so far. We had the whole day under one roof and would highly recommend to anyone. I would love to be doing it all again xx. Thank you again to everyone in the Oriel House Hotel.

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.

We had our wedding day Saturday 23rd July 2022, 3rd time lucky. We had to postpone due to covid and 2 beautiful babies beforehand which was a bit stressful organising a wedding but throughout everything Elaine was fantastic, so helpful and understanding with everything. She made it so easy for myself and Richard, everything we asked for Elaine made it possible. The wedding day itself was perfect, all positive feedback we received back from all our guests, thanks to Elaine for everything wish we could do it all over again.

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 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 . Trina & Aaron Donovan

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 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! Fiona and Brian

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.

Just a little note to say thank you so much for turning the Oriel into a magical space for our wedding reception, we were absolutely thrilled with how our day went. From the very first day we met Elaine, her advice and organisation skills, along with her positive energy, kept us cool and calm, and made planning our wedding a breeze. We had the best day of our lives. Please extend our appreciation to all the team at the Oriel ♥️. Thanks again, we'll be back. Maria & Ciara

We would like to thank Oriel House Hotel for everything they have done for us in the last 2 years of planning our wedding and making our day one to remember! Especially during Covid and having to postpone. They helped make it so stress-free for us. A special thanks to Killian & the rest of the team that night, they were awesome! Rebecca & Christopher

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. He kept coming to everyone's tables to make sure everyone was alright. If we needed anything, there was no issue, like extra food etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. It has excellent service, and it's a spotless hotel. We cant wait to go back x

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!
