Hotel to host wedding fair next month

Bigger is not always better and that can include weddings too, one Cork hotel has found.

The Cork International Hotel is preparing for the autumn/winter season which has been a popular time for weddings at the hotel in recent years.

The hotel has also noticed a growing trend towards smaller weddings and ceremonies with people looking for a more intimate day with family and close friends followed by a larger gathering in the evening.

The hotel is hosting a wedding fair next month and couples who are planning their big day are invited to attend the event at the hotel on 27 August.

The Cork International Hotel caters for larger weddings of up to 220 guests at the International Ballroom which will be on display at the fair. There will also be an opportunity to view the Venice/Valencia Suite which is a popular choice for wedding ceremonies and the Pacific Restaurant which can facilitate smaller celebrations as well as the bridal suite.

Those attending the wedding fair will be treated to complimentary drinks and canapes while being entertained by the in-house pianist.

General Manager of the Cork International Hotel, Eoghan Murphy said: “Weddings are becoming an increasingly important part of our offering at the Cork International Hotel and we are seeing an increase in inquiries year-on-year.

“Autumn weddings are growing in popularity with many couples now opting for a small ceremony followed by a larger gathering in the evening. We are able to cater for both types of weddings and we are looking forward to welcoming couples to our wedding fair on 27 August and helping them to plan for their big day.”
