Weddings at The Metropole: Timeless Elegance in Cork’s Victorian Quarter
Celebrating over 127 years of welcoming couples into our famously elegant surroundings, The Metropole Hotel offers more than a venue; it is a cherished family tradition in the heart of Cork’s Victorian Quarter. With a commitment to refined style and exceptional guest care, we specialise in crafting weddings that feel both personal and timeless.
A Storied Legacy of Love & Grace
Since the 1890s, The Metropole has been synonymous with sophistication and grace. Its grand ballrooms which have been recently restored as part of a major refurbishment combine historic charm with modern luxury, creating an unforgettable setting for your civil ceremony and reception.
Elegant Ceremony Spaces & Bespoke Celebrations
Licensed to host civil ceremonies and partnerships across a variety of sumptuous event suites, The Metropole offers an elegant backdrop for weddings both intimate and grand; from cosy gatherings of 10 to celebrations of up to 250 guests. Choose from our charming Ballroom overlooking the River Lee, or more intimate suites such as the Merchant Lee and Douglas Vance Suite, each offering distinctive character with an air of refined luxury.
Culinary Excellence & Service Beyond Expectation
Our culinary team delivers gourmet, multicourse wedding meals crafted from locally sourced Cork ingredients, accompanied by elegantly arranged tables adorned with crisp linens, classic silver candelabra and flawless attention to detail.
