Salt-sprayed cliffs, artisanal food culture and that unmistakable Rebel-County welcome—Cork has quietly become Ireland's coastal-wedding capital. Picture exchanging vows as gulls wheel overhead and the River Lee shimmers in the distance.
We tour sleek marinas where glass-fronted suites frame crimson sunsets, nineteenth-century lighthouses now reborn as boutique reception spaces, and hill-top gardens perfumed by sea thrift. Practical advice flows throughout: tidal tables for planning your shoreline photo session, local oyster farmers who stage interactive shucking bars, and micro-distilleries eager to craft personalised gin favours.
Whether your style is barefoot-boho or black-tie-nautical, our detailed venue comparison charts—including guest capacities, décor restrictions and accommodation links—will steer you toward a celebration as boundless as the Atlantic horizon.
