Testimonials
"I would like to start by saying we had the most relaxed day due to the time and effort put in by Tanusha. There was nothing that was refused, and Tanusha also took what we said and improved it in every possible way. We started the night before in the Bridal Suite, and the madness started very early in the morning with breakfast delivered, and the choices did not leave anything out. Tanusha popped in to make sure we were all on track. As she had all the notes taken, she knew when everyone was arriving. She also kept me on track with the transport arriving at 11 am. On arrival back after the legal bit was complete, Tanusha was ready with two glasses of bubbly and let us know when everything was ready for us to come in after the Photos. The meal was as we remembered at the tasting and even better, as the place seemed to go silent when the main was served. There were loads of empty plates throughout. The mushroom vol-au-vent was amazing, and my favourite part of the meal. I have not had better anywhere else. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the sauce is still being mentioned as it was so light yet flavourful. The evening food was perfectly timed, and there was plenty to go around. The chicken kebabs were succulent and tasty, the spring rolls were perfectly crispy, and the mini fish and chips were a perfect treat for the kids.
The staff were excellent, they kept the glasses full and made sure we were all happy with the meal. The night manager, Rory (I hope I have his name right), was very good at keeping us on track and made sure we were taken care of. A special mention was made for Anne, the Reservations Manager, who made sure all the guests were in the best rooms for their needs. My father does not have great mobility, and she made sure he was close to the function room. Tanusha was very good at making sure all the preparations were spot on. The menus were perfect, as my mother has passed, she made sure her favourite flower was included in the design."

"When we first walked into The Talbot Hotel, we knew it it would be our location for our wedding day. We had both a ceremony and a reception in the hotel. The work that went into organising it was unreal, from transforming it from the ceremony to 3 hours later sitting in the same room for our dinner. We dealt with Tanusha, she was amazing from start to finish. she would have a normal conversation to get to know each other but at the same time work so hard on your wedding the detail that she put in was unbelievable no job was to big for her, her energy was so calming throughout the whole planning of our day. And for that we are so grateful. food on the day was outstanding we couldn't fault a bit of it. Myself and my husband would highly recommend having your wedding at The Talbot Hotel" - Lynsey & Stephen Finn

"We had our lovely wedding last March at the Talbot Hotel Cork (Oriel House). Tanusia, the best wedding coordinator, helped us have a wonderful wedding that suited our plans. She had loads of bright ideas that you would want. You won't worry about the budget because they will give you the best possible options that meet your needs. And the venue (suites)—it's a big WOW! Everything was lovely, and the whole team was wonderful. We are really very happy we chose the Talbot Hotel Cork. Highly recommended. Thanks a million" - Russel & Ina Gonzales
"Tanusha and the team made our wedding so easy for us to plan. From our first meeting, they made wonderful suggestions regarding the layout of the rooms, recommending suppliers, and had no problem with our unusual requests. They offered a wonderful selection of wedding packages. Our wedding ceremony and reception were in the hotel and it flowed so effortlessly thanks to the expertise of the hotel staff. The hotels decoration was magical, very spiritual which was just as we wanted it. Three months on and our guests are still raving about the way it was all laid out, how great the food was and how comfortable the guest rooms were. We would definitely recommend the hotel for weddings." - Anne & Gordon Anderson
"Where to start? All I can say is amazing. Tanusha, the wedding coordinator, is just truly amazing, and we could not have asked for better support than her. Everything went perfectly for us on our wedding day, and we had a great connection with Tanusha; it was almost like we had been friends for years. Micheal, the bar and beverage manager, was also top-class and great at what he does. We had the craic, and communication was flawless. The food was amazing—hats off to the head chef, he was so accommodating with us and catered to each dietary need, as we had a good few tricky ones, to say the least. However, he delivered, and not one guest gave anything but praise for the food. All I can say is I wish we could do it all over again. For any bride and groom out there considering Talbot Hotel Cork, do not hesitate, as you will not be disappointed. Thanks to all the other staff in the hotel—you were all exceptional!" - Clodagh & James Mealy
"Words can’t describe how helpful and supportive Tanusha has been to Paudie & me. From the moment I met Tanusha, she matched my vision and brought high energy. I had endless chats with Tanusha, and she went above and beyond for us, and we are forever thankful. Tanusha was a big part of our wedding day. She went through everything with us and made us feel so comfortable and calm. Nothing was ever a problem. Talbot Hotel Cork was a beautiful place to celebrate our big day, and the feedback we have received from family and friends has been all positive. The staff went above and beyond for us. The hospitality was brilliant, and most importantly, the food was incredible. The communication between the staff and Paudie and I was brilliant. We put so much trust and faith into Tanusha, and she delivered a brilliant day. I would happily say a friendship was formed. Thank you so much, Tanusha & Micheal."
"Four weeks ago today, my husband and I said 'I do.' What an absolutely amazing time we had from start to finish. Tanusha, our wedding coordinator, is a true diamond. From the months leading up to our special day, all the advice she gave us really helped the day run so smoothly. The guests kept commenting on the food and how all staff were so warm and friendly. We had the best day EVER and are forever grateful to have such wonderful memories of our wedding. Thank you, Talbot Hotel Cork, from the bottom of our hearts."
