Enchanting Illuminated Gardens
The stand out feature of a wedding held during the winter months in Fernhill is our stunning gardens that light up at night. You can get stunning Winter Wonderland photos in beautiful West Cork that you will cherish forever. The softly glowing lights on our pergola and bridge offer your photographer endless opportunities for romantic, dreamlike evening shots. While the shorter daylight hours might limit your photo time elsewhere, at Fernhill, the magic truly begins after dusk.
