“We knew from the moment that we walked in that Fota Island was the venue for us. From that moment on, everyone at Fota couldn’t have done enough for us. From the initial tour and discussions, to the many meetings, emails and Zoom calls that followed, the team at Fota were absolutely phenomenal. We can’t praise all the staff at Fota enough. Our wedding coordinator, in particular, Roberta, was a great support to us throughout. She made us feel completely at ease throughout all the planning stage, and answered any question or query we had promptly. We knew we were in good hands! Our wedding day was everything we imagined and more, from the set up, to the timings and organisation to the food, everything was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how good everything was, particularly the food. The meal was outstanding. We can’t thank the team at Fota enough, especially Roberta and the duty managers who looked after us so well. It was a weekend we’ll never forget, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen!”

"We had a perfect experience with Fota for our big day - would change nothing about it! We checked in a couple of days beforehand, which allowed us to ease into the few big days ahead.
