An Eclectic Wedding Venue

Intimate Garden Weddings in Cork

The meal itself would be held in the dining terrace overlooking the gardens (max capacity 140 guests). The dining terrace is clad in opaque glazing shingles and has 16 glazed doors giving views and access to the gardens. It glows in the half light and in the dark as the light diffusion through the shingles is excellent. The roof on the dining terrace is made of crinkly tin and the ceiling is lined with fabric.

The Rustic Bar

Tucked into the old stone farm buildings, our rustic bar is full of character and atmosphere - exposed stone walls, low beams, cosy corners and heaps of charm. It’s the perfect spot for pints, late-night cocktails or a breather from the dance floor.

One of the things we love about it is that you can still see all the action on the dance floor from the bar, while the sound is that little bit softer - making it a great place for a proper chat, a spirited conversation and a catch-up between dances.

The dancing area and bar are located side-by-side in an old old stone barn which is attached to the dining terrace. Bare-foot or ballgowns, we are happy to accommodate all kinds of weddings. We are delighted to be featured in One Fab Day’s 100 Best Wedding Venues.
