Fernhill House Hotel

For anyone deciding on choosing Fernhill house to host their wedding , DO SO. Cannot speak highly enough of each and everyone one of the staff employed there. Our wedding day went fantastic and it is simply down to every person employed there . The organisers are phenomenal . The food is arguably the nicest and well presented food in the hole county of cork . The service and friendliness of the waiters / waitresses is just amazing . Highly recommend if considering Fernhill to trust and go with them ! Fantastic team , good & hotel & gardens .

I couldn’t recommend Fernhill highly enough to have your wedding. From the moment we got in touch with Ann the Wedding Coordinator, she was nothing but responsive, professional and flexible with any and every request. The food at Fernhill is second to none, the gardens are beautiful and they can accommodate to every weather condition.
Finally, they manage to strike the unique balance of having done so many weddings they are prepared for anything; while making your wedding feel like it’s the most special.

We got married in the beautiful Fernhill House Hotel in May 2023. We cannot begin to thank Fernhill enough for everything they done to make our day so unique and special. From initial booking in 2021 to checkout we honestly could not find flaw in anything. Ann the wedding coordinator is exceptional! She is professional and approachable and puts passion into what she does. We never had to remind the hotel about anything. Whatever we asked or whatever special requests we had arranged were all taken care of perfectly.

On the day of the wedding we had our drinks reception in the garden marquee and the sun was glorious. This was a very unique setting and different to many other hotels we have went to weddings at. The gardens were perfect for our couple photos and also for family/friends photos. We didn’t feel the need to add much of our own decor/touches as we knew they would do the job well. The function room was beautifully decorated with flower table centre pieces and Fernhill looked after printing all the table plans etc. The O’Neill family all work on the floor in the hotel and this could really be seen during the meal. The O’Neills, their managers, chefs and staff were all exceptional. The food was excellent and the service was incredible. At one point there was 8 bar staff in the function room alone. Something I have not seen at any other venue. The residents bar was also well staffed and they were not in the mood for going to sleep either as the barman Michael and also Michael O’Neill sung with us into the early hours.

On day 2, the breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. We had a BBQ for about 100 guests at 3pm which was also very well executed and the food was very plentiful. We had arranged mini busses into Clonakilty for our night 2 celebrations and on return to Fernhill at 1:30am there was 2 bar staff waiting for our return and they also had put on finger food for everyone. It’s the small touches like this that makes this such a unique venue.

Looking forward to being a guest at many weddings to come!

Annmarie & Conor

Fernhill were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Ann, the wedding coordinator, is simply superb at her job and certainly made our special day hassle free. Every aspect, from the decor to the food was just perfect. Thank you Fernhill.

Brilliant service

Fernhill House Hotel was the perfect wedding venue - Ann the wedding coordinator was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire planning process and never minded answering our many questions. Additionally, the level of service provided by the venue was exceptional which is reflective of the family-run nature of the Hotel and how well the O'Neill family look after all their guests.
Our day flowed seamlessly and everything went off without a hitch which is a credit to the amazing staff at Fernhill. We couldn't recommend them more!

I could not recommend this venue enough. The O'Neills and their staff are amazing. The surroundings are stunning and every need is catered for.
But, again, I will go back to the family and their staff. On a very nervous day, and for the day after...they put us so much at ease and not only that Mr O'Neil became part of what was the happiest day of our lives.

PS. The Elvis barman was exceptional.

Do yourself a favour and please look into this magnificent venue.

Fernhill is an all around amazing venue from the facilities to the staff, everything was 5 star. Ann is a fantastic wedding co ordinator, as a bride planning our wedding in a country we don't live it, having Ann on hand is something money can't buy, she was quick with her responses and helped with any questions or concerns we had. The whole planning process to the big day and after was a pleasure and we can't wait to visit one day when we are back

We had our wedding in Fernhill, September 2022 and from the time we first viewed the hotel we knew it was the venue we wanted for our wedding. Ann was an absolute dream to deal with from the very start, she was always on hand to answer any questions we had and she was always so quick to respond. Ann put us at total ease from the beginning and we just knew the our wedding day was in safe hands, anything we requested Ann ensured it was done on the day. The setting of the hotel is just speaks for itself, from the drinks receptions in the marquee, the ample space in the beautiful gardens for photo's and the reception room decorated in fairy lights just blew our guests breath away, 5 months on and our guests are still talking about the most amazing meal and service provided by staff.

From the minute we decided to have our wedding at Fernhill we were delighted! Ann makes absolutely everything stress free. All the staff are amazing to deal with. Ohh and the food Just, amazing!!!Just the perfect place to have your wedding

My husband and I had our wedding reception in Fernhill and Ann and the O' Neill family ensured we had the most amazing day. From the minute we met Ann and the O' Neill family to discuss our plans for our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Their professionalism, warmth and pride they take in weddings was very clear throughout our planning and on the day of the weddding. The food at Fernhill holds its own reputation. The hard work of each and every staff on the day of our wedding was very evident and all so welcoming. The hotel and grounds itself are always picturesque and always so clean. We cannot speak highly enough of Fernhill as wedding venue and we are very grateful to all of the staff that made our day so special.

Fernhill are simply unbeatable! From start to finish, we cannot fault them and Ann and team really added to our overall experience. Incredible food, stunning gardens, and wonderful staff. The perfect mix! Guests are still talking about what an amazing day we had. I cannot thank Ann, Neil and team for everything they did for us.

We couldn’t speak more highly of Fernhill as a venue and Ann as a Wedding co-ordinator. Living aboard we had concerns about planning a Wedding at home in Ireland. However, from the first video call with Ann at Fernhill, our concerns were eased and excitement started to grow. The team at Fernhill were so accommodating to every request we proposed which in turn gave us great comfort in the week leading up to the wedding knowing that Ann and her team had everything under control. If we were to do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing!

From the moment we got engaged we knew Fernhill was the place we would be married, and as soon as we viewed it in July 2020 we just fell in love. When we met with Ann, she was incredibly friendly, approachable, helpful and professional, everything a Wedding Coordinator should be, and more. I felt like no question was too silly to ask, and she was always on hand to answer any calls or emails.
We got married here July 10th 2022, and throughout the rollercoaster of the pandemic, Ann always kept in touch, and we had an absolutely amazing day. From the morning of the wedding and the delicious breakfast they arranged, to the perfectly timed (and hidden!) golf cart trip to the ceremony space, to the incredible drinks reception and then to the fabulous dinner and dancing - it all ran like clockwork, and absolutely none of our wishes were omitted (Ann really did get my vision for the decorations!).
Fernhill is truly a one of a kind venue and service, they do weddings, and they do them well!
Thanks to all the team at Fernhill for what feels like a dream, especially Ann and Neil and the O'Neil family!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in Fernhill in July 2022.

Every meeting we had with Ann she was just amazing. She went through every single detail and gave excellent advice. The O'Neills and Ann were always on the other end of the phone if anything needed to be asked.
We had a civil ceremony in the garden and that too was organised very well. They provided bottles of water and umbrellas for everyone as it was a very hot day. The staff were wonderful and any request we had was never an issue. We had 16 children and had asked for garden games, connect 4/jega to be set up in the garden. Mike gave some of the kids extra spins in the golf cart which they loved
The food was amazing and plenty of everything. All my guests were saying after the wedding that it was so relaxing and everyone commented on how great the meal was.

When we arrived for our big day, everything was beyond perfect. Neill,Ann and the team are outstanding at what they do. The drinks reception, the food and the room layout and decoration was beyond what we could have imagined.

From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank the O'Neills, Ann and all the team for making our wedding perfect.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Ann and the entire team at Fernhill. We had our ceremony in the gardens and reception on site. There was amazing communication the whole way from booking our date, and no request or question was ever a problem. We couldn’t have had the entire planning process made any easier. On the day, Ann and the whole O’Neill family were always on hand, friendly, flexible and and so kind, and really made our day. We loved it and would recommend Fernhill to anyone planning their wedding.

Couldn’t have had a better day and Anne was so attentive to our needs! Staff were brilliant and family and friends have sworn hand in heart it was the nicest venue they have ever had the pleasure of attending a wedding in.

The hotel could not have done enough for us. Ann was so helpful in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself.

We got married in Fernhill this year and the whole experience was fabulous. We booked our venue during covid and Ann was so helpful talking us through everything over the phone, and was available any time we needed to get in touch, and answering so many of our questions to help us plan our wedding. Ann and the whole team at Fernhill were so organised and could not have done more for us on the day. We didn’t think about anything, just enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend Fernhill for your wedding

We had such a great day in Fernhill! The service on the day was excellent and everyone commented on how lovely the venue was (the hotel itself, and the gardens), as well as how amazing the food was. We heard from a lot of our guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! The value for money was excellent and Ann was so flexible when we kept having to change our numbers and table plan due to our guests getting covid before the big day! There was also never any pressure from the hotel and, at least from our side, it felt so relaxed and easy-going. It was lovely to have a chat with the owners on the day too, and you could see there is real pride of their venue and gorgeous personal touches from the O'Neill family as well! Just wish we could do it all over again!!

We looked at venues all over the country as we were living in Dublin, my husband is from Athlone and I'm from Cork. Hands down no where came close to level of professionalism and welcome given by Fernhill. It was clear they were just as passionate about us enjoying the day as we were. Nothing was ever an issue, every venue without question needs an Ann Cullinane for a coordinator. The others we met with did not have her warmth and enthusiasm, never were we made feel this was just another wedding. All our guests raved about the food and the O'Neil family give it that incomparable West Cork welcome. I would recommend Fernhill to anyone

Ann and the O'Neill family in Fernhill House were amazing to deal with for our wedding. The service and food were fantastic! It really was an amazing venue for us and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. All of our guests complimented the venue and service and said the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding! A big thank you to Fernhill and their staff for making our day so special. We will certainly be back to stay.

We had our wedding here last October& I have only good things to say about the venue, staff, food & over all experience. Ann the wedding coordinator was great to deal & took care of everything. Fernhill is definitely a great venue for a special occasion, there’s something special about the place.

Fernhill are exceptional, from walking in the door for the first meeting and viewing, to long after the wedding day. Their reputation; is quite deservedly legendary; but to to actually experience their kindness, attention to detail and sheer professionalism is astounding. What a pleasure from our first meeting with Ann, who answered questions we didn't even know we had, to Mike senior looking after us the following day with treats from the kitchen at 2am to the beautiful setting and gardens and delicious food.
To Ann and all of the O'Neills thank you so much, we thoroughly look forward to spending many more special family occasions and casual visits with you!

Every member of staff were amazing, not only on the night but any time we called to the venue on the lead up. Ann the wedding coordinator couldn’t do enough for us and guided us perfectly in the planning and always answered our questions promptly, no matter how small a question! The O’Neils were brilliant on the lead up and the day too from having different plans in place due to the weather to helping to sort out the technical side of the music to the little details Theresa puts into the venue. If you are looking for attentive, friendly and helpful staff in beautiful romantic surroundings then look no further!

From the beginning the o Neill family hotel owners Ann Cullinane wedding coordinator were outstanding as my daughters wedding was postponed for a year due to Covid-19. They went over to help her feel less stress and made sure every question was answered promptly which made the day so much easier. The quality of the food and attention to detail was amazing.

We got married in Fernhill in August 2021. It was a magical experience, both Neil and Anne make eventing so seamless we knew we could trust them and not worry about a single thing. All our guests are still to this day talking about the food and the wonderful atmosphere. From day one we knew this was the only venue for us and couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had our wedding Fernhill House hotel and Gardens in May this year and we had the most amazing weekend! From planning it all from abroad, to the most amazing weekend, they were just flawless. The wedding Coordinator Ann is simply outstanding at what she does and the entire day passed by without a single hitch. She talked me through every step of the day and was so responsive to my endless emails during the planning!
The O' Neills were amazing and so lovely to meet and all the staff were wonderful too. All the guests have not stopped raving about what a great day we all had and how amazing the food was. I am so happy with everything and couldn't pick one negative thing if I tried.
Thank you Fernhill!

I could not recommend Fernhill enough to any couple getting married. Ann, the wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly, had seamless communication prior to the day and really made the whole process so simple. The marquee was amazing and was a lovely reception there. The food for our meal was absolutely amazing!! Our cake was beautifully placed on the cake table and all our decorations were placed perfectly along with our flowers. All of our guests were treated like royalty and still speak about how great their experience was there. We also got some spectacular photos in the gardens both in the day and night time.

A fantastic service by Fernhill for our wedding in August this year. Beautiful ceremony in the amazing garden setting. The service from before the big day, right the way through was second to none. Anne is wonderful at her job and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you so much for all that you did in our organising.
All of the O’Neill family have a very friendly manner which shows through in their team as everything on the day ran so well. Dinner was amazing with compliments on the food from all guests.
Fernhill was always in our sights for our wedding day and as expected we had a wonderfully memorable day with our nearest and dearest enjoying the celebrations with us.

We had our wedding here during the beginning of the very strict lockdown when 12 people were able to attend a wedding. Fernhill did everything imaginable to make this the most special day of our lives. The staff went above and beyond for us in every aspect. So easy to deal with and they are top tier professionals in everything they do

Our wedding at Fernhill was the most amazing day. From the planning stages to the finishing touches, Ann Cullinan and the team at Fernhill ensured our big day was planned to perfection and we were able to enjoy the wedding to the fullest. Ann kept in touch with us throughout the process and was always one step ahead. The staff on the day were incredibly professional and every one of our guests were looked after. The food was outstanding. Thank you to the O Neill family and Ann for their attention to detail and for creating such a beautiful atmosphere on our day.

My husband and I got married here in January and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From the very first time we set foot inside Fernhill we were treated amazingly and were always happy with the service. Ann, Michael and Neil were always professional, helpful and friendly. They always replied to our questions and gave us advice throughout our wedding planning experience. The day itself was perfect from start to finish. The set up, the food and just the general running of the day was exceptional and seamless. The food especially was to die for and our guests have been raving about it ever since. The hotel is so cosy and beautiful and having exclusivity made the day even more personal for us. They also have amazing gardens that set the scene for breathtaking photos that meant we didn’t need to leave our location in the day.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with our choice in wedding venue and will be recommending Fernhill for years to come.

Myself and my wife had our wedding in Fernhill on NYE 2019 and had an amazing experience. Fernhill were excellent from start to finish, nothing we asked for was too much trouble and they really made things so easy. Our guests complimented us on the reception and really enjoyed their meal. Particular mention just go to Ann who is fantastic in her role as wedding coordinator. She was so easy to deal with and offered really honest genuine advice on all things “wedding” which was really appreciated. Thanks to all the staff for everything and we look forward to come back to visit some time soon. Thanks Karen and Killian

Amazing venue! If I had to do it all again I would pick this venue again! Incredible service from day one! Ann and co have been fantastic to us!

Fernhill went above and beyond with everything. Food was amazing!! And talk of the wedding. Also they did not take payment for a couple for a room as had to leave unexpectedly I never heard of this from a hotel before. Everyone went above and beyond highly recommended

Amazing venue with lovely owners and staff. Made us feel like we were part of the Fernhill family! Not one complaint, everything was perfect.

Fernhill provided with a beautiful location to share our humanist ceremony, drinks reception and meal with our friends and family. The warmth and attention to detail that was shown to us was exeptional - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a venue for anyone especially if you want to have a civil ceremony on site.

Fernhill House Hotel made our special day extra special. The gardens and marquee for photos and the drinks reception are exceptional and the attention to detail throughout the hotel is fantastic. Ann, Neil and team are so attentive and responded to any queries I had straight away. The food and service were fantastic everyone left full and happy.

We would highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue. The whole team are so professional and the day runs so smoothly as they are experts at what they do in Fernhill. The wedding coordinator Ann is fantastic to deal with, as are all the O'Neill family & staff. The food is delicious and the hotel is stunning.

Absolutely everything on our wedding day was amazing. Everything was in hand and taken care of, I wasn’t sure what to expect on the day and so was worrying about timings etc but there was no need at all. The day was everything we could have wanted. The hotel is top class especially when it comes to weddings. The food was excellent and there was plenty available. The gardens are beautiful, we got beautiful photographs there and in the beautiful lounge area. We had a BBQ inside the next day and again there was plenty of food and it was amazing, our guests all commented on the food. As for the staff, everyone was lovely and so so helpful. I’d give a special shout out to Neil, who was so brilliant to deal with and to Ann for all her help on the day and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We look forward to coming back soon.

From start to finish everything just ran so smoothly. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous and the food was delicious. There was absolutely no drama and we had an amazing day.

We had such a beautiful wedding at Fernhill. Neil and Anne were such an amazing support in the run up to the wedding. They were always so professional and at the other side of the phone when I needed help with suppliers...They really took the stress out of the occasion and organising.
The room was fabulously decorated and the food was unbelievable. We were so delighted to get lovely photos in the amazing gardens.
I'd highly recommend this hotel if you want a wedding with beautiful food in a stunning location.

We had a fantastic wedding in Fernhill House and Gardens. The weather was fantastic and we we had our ceremony outdoors in the beautiful gardens. The marquee was beautiful for the drinks reception. The drinks were plentiful and there was a generous selection of canapes. Everything on the day ran very smoothly and Ann and Neil were at hand for the day and night. The dinner was delicious and the evening food was great. All of the guests commented on how nice the food was. Ann was always at the end of the phone or email and was extremely helpful with her local and practical recommendations. The venue was very flexible regarding the type of relaxed day we wanted. I would highly recommend Fernhill House as a wedding venue.

From the minute we walked into Fernhill we knew it was the hotel for us. The gardens alone wok it for us but the friendliness of all the stop and the fact that it is run by a family really appealed to us. The day ran seemlessly with everyone enjoying the day and saying how amazing the food was. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to get married.

Amazing venue, staff, food & all for the best value any couple could wish for, highly recommend Fernhill for any event.
Outstanding

All the staff at Fernhill house went above and beyond to help especially Ann and Neil. We had a magical day and knew we didn’t have to worry about a thing as Ann and Neil made sure everything ran smoothly.
And the Food was outstanding the meal was beautiful all our guest keep commenting on how beautiful the meal was. You just CAN’T beat Fernhill in our books.

Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens is an amazing venue. The beautiful gardens, marquee & quaint welcoming house / reception areas are perfect for an exclusive wedding. It is run to impeccable standards by the O'Neill family & all their staff. They were a pleasure to deal with from day 1 to the day after our wedding. Our guests were blown away by their service. Could not fault the hotel / management in the slightest! No hesitation in recommending Fernhill for a wedding / celebration venue.

We had a lovely day.

There isn’t one thing I could fault about either the lead up or our wedding day itself. Nothing was ever too much to ask the team at Fernhill, and they did everything possible to ensure that our day went exactly the way we wanted it too. The food was amazing, as was the service and attention to detail. Everything about the day was so relaxed, exactly as we had wished for, and if we could do it all over again we would!

This was the best day of my life so far. :) And personnel of Fernhill made it happen. Fernhill is amazing location with beautiful garden, whuch is the base of successful wedding photos.Thanks to our coordinator Ann preparations for the day and the day itself went very smoothly. We had a great dinner and tasty evening snacks. Big thanks for the magical day.

From the first meeting with Neil right through to the day itself, all of the team at the Fernhill House Hotel in Clonakilty played such a big part in making our wedding day such a fantastic, relaxed day. From the setting itself, to the fantastic food, to the great service, we are so glad we chose to have our wedding reception there. At our menu tasting we started having second thoughts about one choice...they really took our feedback on board and insisted we try other options-we were delighted with this and loved that Dish on the day! Highly recommend Fernhill House Hotel as a wedding venue!

We were recently married and had our wedding reception in Fernhill House Hotel. The service we received was absolutely outstanding. The O’Neill Family and all staff were very professional and fantastic to deal with from the moment we booked. Their attention to detail was second to none. We received fantastic advice and tips from Ann, the wedding co-ordinator, and all the O’Neills. On the day itself, the venue looked simply stunning, with no detail overlooked. The welcome we received in Fernhill on the day was so lovely. Our meal was simply sublime from start to finish. All our guests were talking about the quality of the food and the service they received. All dietary needs were catered for without any fuss or compromise in quality or choice. The management were present throughout our day to oversee proceeding and to step in to offer assistance at any moment. I couldn’t recommend Fernhill any higher-once you select it as your wedding venue you won’t have to worry about another detail!

I would definitely recommend fernhill house hotel as a wedding venue. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the staff and management were absolutely fantastic and were more than helpful in helping us organise the wedding and on our wedding day. I lost count of the compliments we received on our choice of venue.

Fernhill was a great placec to have our wedding. Everything about the place, down to the staff, the food everything was excellent and great value. Highly recommend Fernhill house as a venue to get married

From the day we booked all our requirements were dealt with, Caroline and the o Neill family gave us great advice with ideas for our civil ceremony and meal, Our day went stress free from cermony to an outstanding drinks reception with fabulous finger food . The main reception was held in the dining room, where all stops were pulled out to accommodate our intimate day. The meal and service was so excellent every guest (85) complimented on it . We would sincerly thank Caroline , the O Neill family and staff, for making our day A DAY TO REMBER

Had our wedding reception here on the.21st October 2017. I can't fault one thing. From the moment we booked our wedding everything was so easy and nothing was too much trouble. Our wedding day still gives me goosebumps and we are so proud to have everyone compliment our day thanks to the level of professionalism from the hotel staff. The function room was breath taking. Bridal suite stunning. The food out of this world. I honestly can't find one negative thing to say. We also had our second day here. We had a BBQ in the marquee followed by band and dj. Again amazing! What I loved is that its a family run hotel and by the time you leave after your wedding you almost feel like you have known them years. Thank you so much fernhill for making our day one we will always remember and cherish.

From planning, to food tasting, to cooperation and flexibility the staff and management at Fernhill were terrific. Just really lovely and accomodating professionals, taking the stress out of the day and turning it into the celebration it should be

This hotel absolutely know how to put on a wedding! We got married the weekend of storm Ophelia so needless to say it was a washout! We had our ceremony in the marquee and had planned on utilising outside for our drinks reception but because of the weather we had to keep everyone indoors. The way the staff dealt with the situation was nothing short of amazing. They managed to transform the room from a ceremony set up to a drinks set up in a matter of minutes! Their friendliness and flexibility was the reason we chose this venue. Let’s just say we had a couple of alternative ideas! But they were open to anything we suggested and the service, set up and easy manner made for such an incredible day regardless of the weather!! Would highly recommend the Fernhill

Perfect every step x

This hotel is absolutely outstanding nothing is too much for them. Thankfully not a thing went wrong the day of our wedding. Everything was spot on down to the smallest detail.

could not say enough about the staff at Fernhill they were amazing.nothing was too much to ask the efficiency and friendliness of all the waiters on the day was nothing short of perfection. a very big thank you to Caroline for always saying 'no problem' and for answering my endless questions. it was truly the most perfect day.

From the moment we viewed Fernhill as a potential wedding venue right up until our big day the staff of Fernhill and the wedding coordinator were so professional, helpful and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us, allowing us to have the perfect day. The meal, reception food, service, marquee and beautiful gardens were things guests complimented us on. The party went on until all hours and the owners even dropped some of the guests back to their B&B, so kind of them. The hotel presented my husband and I with surprise engraved bride and groom crystal glasses which we were a lovely keepsake.

Excellent venue, nothing was an issue, they were very accommodating and made planning our wedding so easy! We loved the day, food was devine, the gardens are spectacular and the service was second to none. Highly recommend this venue!

Fernhill were absolutely amazing during the whole process from start to finish when we were planning our wedding. Caroline was so flexible and accommodated all of our requests. We also planned our wedding from Australia and she was very flexible with times for us to skype to discuss the wedding etc. On the day we didn’t have to lift a finger, they were so organised and we had discussed the set up of the whole venue prior. We had our ceremony in the gardens and it was absolutely stunning and picturesque. We had drinks reception in the marquee which was stunning and they accommodated us having our speeches down there too. The reception was held in their function hall and was set up to perfection. The food was absolutely amazing, we decided to pay extra to have the steak option and we were not disappointed, everyone was commenting on how amazing the food was. Their service was fantastic and unfaultable. We were treated as though we were the only ones in the world getting married (and not that they do this every weekend). I could not rate Fernhill high enough, they are amazing!

We have only all positive things to say about fernhill and their staff , we had a great experience there for our wedding last July and would recommend the hotel and beautiful location to future couples

Caroline and the O'Neill family, particularly Michael and Neill were superb to deal with right from our very first meeting with them. Meetings and discussions for organising the room set up were very well organised and would put you at ease knowing the level of detail they go into. The room decor exceeded our expectations. Complimentry Moposa access was very helpful for table plan.The food and service were top clas and all dietary requirements were pro-actively and tastefully catered for. The gardens and marquee were fantastic, they were a great addition to the day. The whole day and night went brilliantly, there isn't anything we would change. Thanks to Michael Snr for joining our sing song later in the night also!

We highly recommend fernhill house as a wedding venue especially as it was for us for a civil ceremony....the option was there to hold ceremony in the garden or in the marquee ..We chose the marquee which was totally prepared for the day by the hotels owners and the hotels own wedding planner caroline. The venue took our breath away when we saw it on the day from the red carpet lined by candles to the beautiful altar decorated with candles and flowers all provided by the hotel ..The marquee was then turned around in the blink of an eye to the venue for our drinks reception. Our guests enjoyed cocktails and hot canapés there while we had our photographs done in the beautiful designed garden. Dinner was then served "westcork" style in the main hotel and by that I mean abundant servings of beautiful fresh local products...what then followed was a night of danceing late into the night only broken by the arrival of "fish &chips"around 11 pm to keep us going..i cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. It is easy to see that it is a family run hotel as you ar treated just like family the whole way through with also the use of the hotel own wedding planner at the end if the phone should you need her. I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff for making our special day so effortless..best wishes violet &.denis x

We had our reception in beautiful Fernhill House Hotel on 28th April 2017. Caroline our wedding coordinator was more then helpful in the run up to the big day & as for the O'Neill family, they treated us like royalty from start to finish.
We chose this venue because of its beautiful, unique setting, warm & welcoming atmosphere, beautiful menu options & the fact that it's family owned and it shows.

The food was second to none & we had such an amazing choice it was hard to finally settle on our menu as all dishes were exquisite.
We can't recommend Fernhill highly enough & we just wish we could have our day all over again.
Best of luck future couples xxx

We had an amazing day & the hotel & staff could not have been more helpful.
I would recommend Fernhill Hotel to anymore for their wedding big or small.

Ruth Anna is a fantastic bridal makeup artist. Her artist flare and beautiful personality are well merged to create a wonderful experience for your big day. Having Ruth Anna there the morning off gave an air of positivity and calm. Her presence alone lights up a room.

Every member of my bridal party were thrilled with their makeup. She captured their natural beauty's with gorgeous neutral tones. I loved my makeup and how it looked in the photographs.

I have recommended Ruth Anna to many people for their big day.

This venue and staff were amazing and made our wedding day so incredible special. Would highly recommend fernhill to anyone looking for a beautiful venue. food was amazing staff were incredible. location is beautiful.

We were so happy that we choose Fernhill House Hotel for our Wedding. The food was amazing , venue was perfect and the staff were so professional yet gave a very personal service .

We were so lucky to have had our wedding in Fernhill. It was such an amazing day with the ceremony outside in the sun, drinks in the marquee and meal in the function room. We have had so many comments on the beautiful venue from our guests and one or two are now even considering booking it themselves!
Caroline and Neil were incredibly helpful and positive from the moment we met them and were extremely flexible. The staff on the day set out all our little decorations in the most professional way, and Michael the owner ferried guests around in his golf cart!
The food was of a very high standard - not your typical 'wedding food' at all! We stayed up playing music and having fun in the residents bar until the early hours of the morning and the bar staff were very patient with us.
Our only wish is that we could go back and relive the day all over again!

Hotel,gardens and food were amazing. Quality of service we found to be lacking however,as communication levels between staff members and between staff and us were low and crucially,they did not follow through on certain things we were promised and offered no apologies for not doing so. Such a shame as it would have been the perfect 5star wedding had they kept their promises. :-(

Our wedding reception in Fernhill House hotel was truely amazing. From start to finish all our needs were catered for. While they could not control the weather and even though the rain was torrential the hotel were still fantastic and the rain certainly did not dampen our experience. They cracked a bottle of champers when we arrived, when we cut the cake and had a bottle chilled for us in the bridal suite. The food was fine dining at its best. All in all I can't praise this hotel enough. Thanks to all the staff.

Attended wedding as guests. Had a wonderful day. Staff attended to everything in a professional and relaxed manner. Service was excellent and setting beautiful. Would certainly recommend it to others.

From day one dealing with all the team in fernhill was fantastic. Lynn and I could not have been more pleased with the level of service and expertise afforded to us by each and every member of staff in Fernhill. We really had no worries leading up to and on our big day. Everything was taken care of down to the smallest details.
I can't recommend Fernhill enough. Their professionalism, customer service and general demeanour is a credit to the O'Neill's and each and every staff member employed by them.
Thanks for making our big day so special and our build up so hassle free.

I can't recommend Fernhill House Hotel highly enough. We had our ceremony and reception in the hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The gardens and rooms were beautiful. Having had our special day there I can't imagine anywhere else that would have been as memorable. Thank you

We got married here in July 2016 and I cannot speak highly enough of this venue. The welcome we received on our first viewing of the venue from Caroline won us over and the pre-wedding communication and organisation was A+ without any stress. The staff could not have been more accommodating and professional and went over and above their call of duty in so many ways; things you just would not get in another hotel i.e. using their own cars to transports guests from the hotel to the marquee because of the rain, the owner giving us a few bars in the residents lounge at 4am! Their friendliness, alertness and efficiency made our day run seamlessly well. Next, the food! Wow! The presentation, the choice, the quality and the abundance meant each and every guest was catered for and staff accommodated many dietary requirements with no fuss. Lastly the venue was pristine. There was not a leaf out of place in the gardens, the flowers and colours are the perfect setting for photos and the marquee and dining room were stunning. Could go on with positives forever but to sum up I would not have changed a single thing about the day. Fantastic from start to finish! Thanks to the O'Neills and their crew at Fernhill for a day we will never forget!

Absolutely fantastic wedding hotel. Beautiful setting, food is amazing & management & staff are all lovely to deal with. We are delighted we choose Fernhill for our wedding.

The team at Fernhill did an outstanding job for our wedding reception, the service we received was excellent and the food was outstanding. The staff provided excellent service both prior to and on our wedding day and we were very happy with how the whole day went.

Fantastic Day, despite the bad weather, the Hotel Management and Staff made sure it did not impact on our day, they could not have been more helpful, food and service was fantastic.I would reccommend you go and have a look at Fernhill House Hotel before you decide on your venue. Top Class Venue .

A truly fantastic day. The hotel and gardens were looking immaculate as always. The family run etiquette shone through at all times in the build-up to the big day and made us both feel confident we were in good hands.

The marquee for the pre-drinks reception on the beautiful gardens is the icing on the cake and went down extremely well with the guests.The ball room was stunning and the bridal suite and guest rooms were extremely comfortable.

We also availed of the marquee for the day after the wedding for a barbecue with many of our family, friends and their children and this was a fitting end to a great weekend in Fernhill House.

The service throughout both days was astounding and anything we had requested in the lead up or on the big day itself was not only met but exceeded expectations.

We would recommend this hotel to any couple for their special day and can say with utmost confidence they will not be disappointed.

Thanks to everyone at Fernhill for an amazing weekend.

Richard and Eilish

For us,we couldn't have asked for a better host and venue for our wedding!
They made our day so relaxing and they were so helpful throughout the lead up to the wedding.
Every guest complimented the food,service and beautiful gardens & marquee.
The day went so smoothly and this coud not have been possible without the O Neill family and their years of expertise.
We highly recommend this as the top wedding venue in the West Cork area.

The staff at Fernhill were amazing leading up to and the day of our wedding. They were Friendly, hard working and catered-for all our guests needs.
Everyone spoke to me about how much food and drink they got on the day and there was no shortage of it which is always a good sign of a wedding.
The drinks reception was beautiful, and all my guests enjoyed it especially the children as they could run around the gardens.
Fernhill were easy to work with and found the whole experience a pleasure.
On the lead up to the day, we would get emails saying this is what we need to do next ect and it made organising the wedding easier.
Also they responded quickly to any queries we had.

Fernhill was a fantastic venue. I am the fourth girl in my family to have chosen it for our wedding reception. The staff are so accommodating and helpful and caroline (the wedding coordinator) is a dream. A number of our guests commented that the meal was the best meal they have ever eaten at a wedding. The gardens are just beautiful for photographs, day or night. Even though it was raining on the day of our wedding, we were still able to take photos in the gardens and neil and Mike very helpfully drove us down in the golf buggy. The bridal suite is also stunning. The service is really second to none. We honestly couldn't recommend Fernhill as a venue highly enough. You don't have to worry about anything if you are going there!

I cannot praise Fernhill House Hotel and Gardens highly enough. From the moment we first viewed the venue we met with friendliness and professionalism. The wedding coordinator, Caroline is an absolute gem and no query or concern was too small to be dealt with. All our planning and most importantly, the wedding day, moved along seamlessly thanks to the wonderful staff. Every member of the Fernhill team were absolutely outstanding. All our guests were complimenting us on the food, the service and the venue as a whole. They really and truly gave us the most perfect day.

Myself and my husband Sean got married in this hotel in march 2013. From the second we went to view the hotel we were blown away by it. The location the staff the food absolutely everything was more than perfect. We cannot recommend this hotel enough.
The guests that were at our wedding still talk about the food they got at our wedding and what a fantastic day they had. We recommend this hotel to everyone and can never say enough good things about it.

Fernhill House Hotel was the perfect location for our wedding. The staff were excellent and Caroline made sure that our day was perfect from start to finish. Everything we asked for we got. The venue looked amazing on the day and the meal was absolutely delicious. If we were to do it all again we wouldn't change a thing. Couldn't recommend the venue highly enough it's top class.

On behalf of ourselves and our guests, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to the O'Neill family and Caroline as well as all the staff of Fernhill for making our special day so enjoyable and memorable. The marquee turned out to a wonderful location for guests to 'mix and mingle' and to admire the beautiful gardens. The food was delicious and bountiful. All of the tables were served simultaneously in an efficent and curteous manner by the team. The quality of the meal and service is something we are still hearing about from guests. The fish and chips went down a treat as well with both night guests and those who had previously felt full but are used to visiting a chipper after a long day's drinking. Everyone's needs (including those found wandering the corridors at 7am) were well looked after. It was a pleasure too to relax and ruminate over it all the following morning in the comfortable surrounds of the lounge. If we were to do it all over again we wouldn't even bother to check out another hotel.So thanks again and we hope to be the recipients of invites to many weddings in Fernhill in the future.

Our wedding was on 1st Oct 2010. We chose Fernhill as our reception venue and it contributed greatly to our wonderful day. We knew from it's great reputation that we were in safe hands. Caroline and Teresa were a great help during the planning stages and on the day itself. We were lucky enough to get to use the marquee for our drinks reception. All the guests were impressed with it as it really kept the crowd together and was something different not available at other hotels. Also the younger guests had loads of room to run around the gardens! Every course of the meal was delicious and the personalised menus, complete with photo, were a lovely touch. The guests are still raving about the food (both quality and quantity!) and they couldn't believe the efficiency of the table service. Military is the only word to describe it!! Many people have told us it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding. Everything to do with the hotel is professional but you also get the very important personal touch. We would like to extend a massive thank you to all the staff for making our day so special. There is not one second we would change.

A huge thanks for the wonderful job at our wedding!! Everything was amazing and I couldn't have asked for more. People were raving about the food, loads of guests told me it was d best meal they have ever had at a wedding!! The room was beautiful and the reception was perfect! Thanks again for all d work you did and I'm delighted we picked Fernhill as our wedding venue!! Regards

We were married on 21 August 2010. Our wedding reception was held in Fernhill House Hotel, Clonakilty. We are currently on honeymoon but have taken time out to acknowledge the truly fantasic job that Teresa and Michael O'Neil did to make our special day so much more than special.
Teresa has a keen eye for detail and no request was too much. She helped us enormously both in the preparations and on the day. The service that the O'Neil family and their staff provided was professional, personal and second to none.
Our drinks reception was held in the spacious marquee while our photos were taken in the adjoining gardens. This meant that we were alongside our guests at all times. The meal was absolutely magnificent with real West Cork helpings. We received so many compliments afterwards on our choice of venue and meal.
The evening food was as top quality as the main meal with a few surprises thrown in. If you want a reception with a difference - choose this hotel.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for a wedding venue that will make their special day 'memorable' for all the right reasons. This hotel is definitely one of the top wedding venues in Ireland. A sincere thank you to the O'Neil family.

Thanks so much to everyone in Fernhill House for making our wedding such an amazing day. We received so many compliments from people on the choice of hotel, the grounds and marquee were stunning and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. Caroline was a great help in organising the wedding and made everything seem easy, no request was too big and no question went unanswered. Michael, Theresa, Neil and all the staff couldn’t have done more to help us enjoy our day and everything was perfect. Words can’t explain what the day meant to us and we really did have the best day of our lives. Thanks again to all the staff at Fernhill...

We just want to thank you, Theresa, Michael, Neil and staff so much for the wonderful weekend we spent at Fernhill. We had a fantastic wedding day and have received nothing but compliments about the food, service and the hotel since the wedding.
 
We will, without doubt be returning to the hotel for dinner or hopefully someone elses wedding so we can enjoy the marquee and hotel without the stress of our own day!
 
Thanks again

 

We would really like to thank the staff at Fernhill House Hotel for makin our Wedding day the most special day of all.  Everything was so well planned down to the smallest detail.  Caroline was so helpful and friendly and really good in helpin us with ideas for our big day.  The gardens and marquee were a perfect place for our guests to relax and enjoy themselves for the drinks reception and they were all still talking about it weeks after the wedding.  Fernhill House Hotel was just the perfect place to have our special day.  The meal was outstanding, everyone was talkin bout it afterwards how much they got and how delicious the food was.  The best meal we've had in a long time.  The weather was perfect for taking photographs in the gardens.  We really did have the best day of our lives so we would like to say a massive thank you to Caroline, Theresa and Michael and all the staff in the hotel for making our day so special.
 

After a long day of visiting hotels, searching for that special wedding venue we arrived at Fernhill House. We were greeted by Teresa the proprietor, with a welcoming smile and served tea and home-made scones. That was it, our minds were made up. !!!!It is those little touches that create the unique family-like warm atmosphere of Fernhill. Teresa seems to present an almost maternal interest in you and your wedding day, and Caroline the wedding co-ordinator is as helpful and warm as that extra bridesmaid!
But it is not just the fabulous staff that helped make our day so special. One of my favourite memories of the big day was the drinks reception held in the marquee-another unique feature of the hotel. It is situated in the middle of the beautifully landscaped gardens. Guests mingled and enjoyed a relaxed drinks reception in the beautiful sunshine, (We were blessed!!!!). Meanwhile our photographer was able to get some great snaps in the gardens.
We had heard of the great reputation Fernhill has for food and I am glad to say we were not disappointed!!!Guests from the wedding are still talking about the meal that was served up on the day, many saying it was the best meal they ever received at a wedding. There was a great choice when choosing the menu, guests were given plenty, and service and presentation was second to none!!!!
I can’t praise Fernhill, Teresa, Caroline and all the staff enough for making our wedding day so very special and memorable. Nothing was too much trouble and they really took the pressure off with all the preparations.
The morning after our wedding, I was almost surprised at the buzz around the hotel as they were all busily preparing for that days wedding. The care and attention we were given had us almost convinced that we were the only couple to have ever gotten married in Fernhill!!! And at the end of the day, isn’t that the way that every bride and groom wants to be made feel!! Thank you Fernhill!
