About The Maritime Hotel

Celebrate your wedding in one of Ireland’s most scenic coastal settings. At The Maritime Hotel in Bantry, your day unfolds against the backdrop of Bantry Bay — with panoramic waterfront views, elegant surroundings, and a dedicated team focused entirely on you.

We host one wedding per day, ensuring your celebration is completely private, personal, and unforgettable.

Let us take your breath away. With this in mind, our designated wedding team will assist in the planning and preparation of every aspect of your celebration. At The Maritime, great emphasis is placed on attention to detail, on ensuring that the entire day, from beginning to end, is a reflection of your desires and wishes (whilst also ensuring your guests enjoy a truly fine dining experience).

Our banqueting suite, The Windward Suite, boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with a panoramic view over beautiful Bantry Bay. Located on the 1st floor of our hotel, it offers a self-contained suite with two private bars, a relaxing library and a designated smoking area. The bay views are ever-changing and provide a breath-taking backdrop for your celebration.

Our proximity to a host of local Churches, from St. Finbarr's Church in Bantry for a traditional wedding to Gougane Barra Church for the smaller, more intimate wedding, ensures that you and your guests spend more time enjoying and less time travelling. We offer Civil Ceremonies, Same Sex Marriages and Humanist Ceremonies here at The Maritime, giving you the opportunity to have everything looked after under one roof.

We are able to offer you the chance to have some of the most beautiful locations West Cork has to offer for your wedding photographs. We have worked closely with Bantry House & Gardens, Bamboo Park (Glengarriff) and Carriganass Castle (Kealkil) to make sure we have a unique offering, whatever your taste.

Your wedding celebration is not just about you... It is about how your wedding party is made to feel and about the memories created by sharing your special day with them. It is important to know that your guests and families will enjoy not just the finest of food and wines, but also unrivalled comfort and luxury in our exceptionally well-appointed guest rooms.

Our dedicated Wedding Team works with each couple advising and assisting on the finer details of each wedding and will ensure a seamless transition from your initial booking, right through to the finishing touches on the day.

If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate in contacting any member of our Maritime Wedding Team directly.

On the most special day of your life, The Maritime Hotel will certainly take your breath away.

“Thank you for everything throughout the whole process. We couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better team. From reception, to the wait staff, bar staff, chefs and cleaners to yourselves for all your hard work and attention to detail. Everything was amazing. Every step of the way ye were amazing to deal with. It was very much appreciated and it really helped to take stress off us! All of the guest were very impressed with everything and that’s all down to your hard work. Thank you so much.”
