We got married at Christmas in Fota. To say it was magical is an absolute understatement. The setting, food, staff and bridal suite were all amazing. Our wedding coordinator, Hazel O' Connell, couldn't have been friendlier, more enthusiastic or more accommodating. We loved our meetings in the run up to

We had a wonderful time from the moment we arrived at the hotel on Friday afternoon before the reception to when we left the following day. Aisling Lambe met us as we arrived and ensured that everything was arranged and set up just as wa wanted including photographs, reception seating, etc. The golf club looked perfect and just as we had hoped. The level of professionalism, helpfulness, good humour and courtesy displayed by Aisling, Sid an the catering staff was exceptional and remarked upon as we had hoped. The honeymoon suite was also excellent. Thanks very much to everyone for all their help in making this a great day. Everything wa

My husband and I got married in Fota Island. From start to finish we had the most amazing experience. Hazel, the wedding co-ordinator is a pleasure to deal with. She went above and beyond and made planning a wedding so much easier. Rory looked after us incredible well on the wedding day. All our guests commented on the amazing food. The service was exceptional and the attentiveness the staff gave was exceptional. We had a second day in the golf club on the Sunday. Again service and staff were incredible. We had spa treatment on the Monday. The treatments are the nicest I have had. A lot of our guests got their hair done in the ha

We got married in the Golf Club on 25th Feb ’12. Amazing! We had terrific support with the planning, and on the day everything was incredible – beautiful venue, faultless food - with a choice on the day for 120 guests & the staff were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. We absolutely loved it!!
