This hidden 18th Century house is one of Cork’s prettiest wedding venues

Brought to you by The Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa.
Lads, the romance.
If you’ve been searching for a history-steeped wedding venue with a very modern attitude to wining and dining your guests, you’re on to a winner.
Ditchley House boasts ornate architecture, romantic sash windows and cascading staircases (just what you need for that epic wedding gown photo).
The best bit? It’s part of the beautiful Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa in Little Island, so you get the Radisson’s expert Events Team to help plan your big day as part of the deal.
The property
The manicured croquet lawn can be transformed into an outdoor ceremony location where you can host civil ceremonies for between ten and 200 guests.
Inside, the Great Island Ballroom is a magical space for larger events. With a private bar and dance floor, all the decor and arrangements are taken care of by the Radisson’s in-house team.
All you need to do is plan your playlist.
The aged wood floors add an olde world charm to each and every room in Ditchley House.
But there’s another treat in store; a mind-blowing list of complimentary extras.
If free gym membership for the three months before your big day and a free €100 Spa voucher sound like the kind of perks you and your husband or wife-to-be could use, read on.
The extras
The Bridal Suite is provided to the wedding couple free of charge on the big day. What’s more? They also present each set of newlyweds with a candlelit dinner and an overnight stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa to enjoy on their first anniversary.
If your wedding party is more than 150 guests, the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa will not only provide a jazz band, a candy cart and a bar extension free of charge, they’ll also include a free sparkling wine reception and a day after barbecue for 20 of your nearest and dearest the next day.
And it doesn’t end there.
Every couple who ties the knot at The Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa also enjoys a complimentary menu tasting, a free tea and coffee reception for guests, white chair covers and personalised menus, a cake stand and knife and fully decorated tables (complete with candelabra) for the wedding feast.
Now that’s a love story with a happily ever after.
The Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa is hosting a wedding showcase on Sunday, September 23rd with discounts of up to €1,000 off new wedding bookings made on the day.
