Garryvoe Hotel Wedding – Coastal Elegance in East Cork
☀️ The Morning – Calm Before the Celebration
The day began in one of Garryvoe’s gorgeous suites, with the morning sun spilling through the balcony doors and the sound of the sea in the distance. There was an air of excitement, but also calm — laughter between bridesmaids, the rustle of dresses, and those little glances in the mirror that say, “This is it.”
If you’re looking for a wedding venue in East Cork with beautiful light and space to get ready, Garryvoe Hotel sets the scene perfectly.
💖 A First Look by the Sea – Just the Two of You
Before the ceremony, the couple shared a first look with Garryvoe Beach as their backdrop. The wind played with the veil, the waves rolled in quietly, and for a moment, it felt like the world stopped.
First looks aren’t for everyone — but for those who choose them, they’re often some of the most emotional and memorable moments of the day.
📸 Wedding Portraits at Garryvoe Beach – Golden Light & Sea Breeze
When the beach is just a few steps away, you have to make the most of it. The soft sand, the endless horizon, and the golden Irish light created the kind of portraits that feel straight out of a movie.
If you’ve ever dreamed of beach wedding photos in Ireland, Garryvoe Beach delivers — every single time.
🎉 The Reception – Heart, Laughter & Fireworks
Inside Garryvoe’s elegant ballroom, guests enjoyed heartfelt speeches, incredible food, and a dance floor that stayed full all night. The atmosphere was electric, but still had that laid-back coastal feel that makes this venue so special.
Then, as night fell, the sky lit up with 🎆 fireworks — colours reflecting over the water while the couple held each other close.
✨ Sparklers & Stars – The Perfect Ending
The night ended with sparklers in hand, surrounded by friends and family, and a 💐 bouquet toss under a sky full of stars. These are the kinds of moments that bring a wedding story to life — glowing, joyful, and impossible to forget.
