For a wedding venue as tailored & individual as you · Derek McCarthy’s Spiced Beef Carpaccio...

For a wedding venue as tailored & individual as you...MANY CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECENT ENGAGEMENT AND THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE IMPERIAL HOTEL AS A VENUE FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY.

The Imperial Hotel is regarded by many as the ‘Grand Dame’ of Cork, and has been part of the very fabric and

life of the city for over 200 years. The Hotel has a rich history, having been designed by Thomas Deane in 1813,

it was initially used as commercial rooms for city merchants. In 1816 the building was extended to serve as a Hotel

and coach yard for the visiting business people, traders and merchants. Several famous figures have stayed in

the Hotel over the years including Fr. Mathew, The Temperance Priest, writers Sir. Walter Scott, William Makepeace

Thackeray, Charles Dickens and probably our most famous figure Michael Collins, who negotiated the Irish Free

State Treaty in 1921 and spent a night in room 115.

At The Imperial Hotel we aim to blend the warmth, elegance and intimacy of times past with the style and luxury

of a contemporary boutique guest experience. We use our many years of tradition in excellence to help you

create your perfect wedding day and will ensure your special day is one that will always be remembered by you

and your guests. With only one wedding per day we promise you the utmost in personal attention with our entire

team solely dedicated to you and your guests. Our Executive Head Chef will personally look after your wedding

banquet and we are committed to using only the finest of ingredients, sourced locally and responsibly in Cork with

our menu’s reflecting and celebrating the wonderful renaissance of contemporary Irish cuisine.

The initial grandeur and opulence of our 19th Century marble foyer will set the tone for your magnificent day.

Our Ballroom is rich and classical in its décor with crystal chandeliers and luxurious fabrics and the vintage table

settings provide the perfect finishing touches to your wedding banquet. Our Ballroom can cater for up to 180

guests for the wedding meal, whilst our more intimate event rooms can also cater for smaller wedding parties. Our

Morgan & Plunkett Suites offer the perfect location for a Cork City civil ceremony venue, the soft subtle furnishings

provide an elegant but sophisticated, understated backdrop, ideal to host your civil ceremony.

We would be delighted to arrange a personalised viewing and full wedding consultation so please contact our

dedicated wedding co-ordinator on 021-7306604 or by email on [email protected].

It would be an honour and a pleasure to look after your special day and we very much look forward to hearing from you.

W E D D I N G T E R M S A N D C O N D I T I O N SPlease read these conditions carefully in order to avoid any misunderstandings regarding the

terms on which weddings are accepted.

Confirmation and Guest NumbersProvisional bookings can be held for up to 14 days after which time it is at the hotel’s discretion to release the date if confirmation of the date is not received. To confirm a wedding, a wedding contract is issued which must be signed by both partners and the original copy returned to the hotel. This along with your €1000 deposit will confirm your booking. We regret that deposits are

non-refundable and non-transferable in the event of a cancellation.

Minimum NumbersAll wedding packages are based on 80 adults; a supplement will apply for packages under 80 adults.

Please Note: The hotel reserves the right to cancel the date in the following circumstances:The hotel believes the booking might prejudice the reputation of the hotel, should guests attending the event, behave in any

way considered to be detrimental, offensive or contrary to normal expected standards of behaviour.The contract shall specify the anticipated number of guests for your wedding i.e. the agreed minimum and maximum number of

guests for the event.The contract minimum represents the minimum number of guests you guarantee will attend your wedding and the Hotel has

calculated its charges on this basis. The amount payable by the client will therefore be calculated according to the highest of (a) the contract minimum (b) the final number or (c) the number who actually attend the event.

PaymentThe final account must be settled upon departure. As per hotel policy a credit card will also be required to secure your booking. Two days prior to your wedding a preauthorisation for the balance will be held against this card and released upon departure.

Price VariationsIn the case of events beyond the hotels control (including but not limited to the increase in the standard rate of VAT), the hotel

reserves the right to vary the price specified in the contract to the extent which reflects such circumstances.

Cancellation by ClientIf a client wishes to cancel their wedding such cancellations must be advised to the Hotel in the first instance verbally, followed by

written notice of cancellation. Any postponements may be considered as a cancellation.In the unfortunate event of cancellation, the hotel will make every effort to re-sell the space. Should the hotel be unsuccessful in

reselling the space, cancellation charges will be incurred as follows:

• Cancellations received within 36-20 weeks of wedding date - 25% of services booked• Cancellations received within 19-12 weeks of wedding date - 50% of services booked• Cancellations received within 11-4 weeks of wedding date - 75% of services booked• Cancellations received within 4 weeks of wedding date - 100% of services booked
