Why have a wedding ceremony in Fernhill?

At Fernhill we absolutely love wedding ceremonies. It is truly wonderful to help create the magical moment when two people get married. We love to create the most unforgettable walks down the aisle, rain or shine.

Garden Ceremony 

You can choose to have your ceremony in our Georgian country house, or in our elegant Garden Marquee (available all year round for civil ceremonies) or in our heavenly Marriage Garden filled with natural flowers and a Moon Arch and overlooking the West Cork countryside. Confetti magazine described it as "one of the most romantic places in Ireland to say 'I do'". Our marquee has been adorned with wisteria dripped chandeliers elevating any wedding ceremony. A striking space, with draped ceilings, the Garden Marquee needs very little decoration making it an effortless choice for your wedding celebration. 

Top-tier service

We provide the celebrants table, chairs and necessary electrical equipment You only have to book your celebrant, music and any flowers you desire to decorate the aisle. The O'Neill family and team have been recognised as the no.1 hotel in Cork and one of the top in Ireland. We will care for you and ensure everything is as perfect as it should be on this important day. As a family run hotel we are able to provide exceptional service that you will not find in any other venue.

Our Garden Marquee for your drinks reception is mere steps away from the ceremony garden. Imagine prosecco flowing under draped ceilings as your guest enjoy the afternoon sun celebrating such a wonderful occasion. Speeches may be held in the marquee or in our ballroom during dinner. We will guide your guests up to the main hall for the formal meal where you will enjoy what excitement the rest of the night brings. 

Unique Wedding Photos

One of the great things about having a ceremony onsite is that you get to spend more time with your guests. We have created many beautiful places for amazing photos in our house and gardens, just take a look at our wedding gallery. You can spend those precious moments with your closest friends and family keeping your guests together.

Wedding Testimonials

It is hard to put into the words how incredible our wedding day was. There was never a question that couldn’t be answered and they went above and beyond for us in every way. So many of our guests have contacted us to let them know how amazing the grounds were, the service and the food. The drinks reception was incredible, the gardens are to die for and the buggies up and down from the marquee to the hotel were a lovely touch. I still cannot believe we got to get married in such an amazing venue.

My wife, Brittany, and I celebrated our wedding day at the Fernhill House Hotel on the 8th of July and to say we're eternally grateful for all of their hard work seems insufficient. Brittany and I live in Canada, so our wedding planning was primarily done from overseas. This could've been extremely difficult, stressful and/or tiresome... but from day one, the Fernhill family & staff made it not only easy but very enjoyable as well.

Brittany & Kevin Moloney

From the moment of booking our date to the wedding itself, the whole experience was just excellent. Ann, the wedding coordinator is so professional and makes you feel at ease. The hotel is so well run, you can rest assure that everything will be looked after. If you are on the lookout for a wedding venue, I would make sure you visit Fernhill House Hotel and you will not be disappointed. It just ticks all the boxes with its beautiful grounds, gorgeous hotel, delicious food and exceptional staff.
