The Ambassador hotel was the most amazing venue for our wedding on this New Year’s Eve just gone. We could not have asked for more, from the moment we first viewed the hotel and met with the manager Eoin, to the time we were leaving after the wedding, everything we needed was accommodated. We had originally booked a venue 2 years prior to our wedding day, but due to a fire we were left with no venue 11 weeks before the wedding, but as they say some things happen for a reason; from the moment we called The Ambassador we had a good feeling. Their primary aim was making sure we got what we wanted, and helping us to realise our perfect day.
We were completely won over by the charm of the old building, the beautiful views of Cork city and the old meets new interior décor inside. The staff are so warm and friendly and ready to accommodate whatever we needed especially at such short notice. Eoin, Rhona, Colm, David, Pierre as managers are all fantastic.
The waiting staff and bar staffs are of the highest standard, their attitude and professionalism is outstanding, and everything is done with a smile on their face. The accommodation is off the highest standard.
From day one, they were there for us and always responsive and helpful. The hotel manager was always contactable, and on many occasions met us on days off etc., in order to get everything done on time. No request was ever too much, from ensuring that booking rooms was simple for our guests to the managers staying in the car park to direct traffic.
The day itself was perfection from the moment we arrived we were greeted by Eoin and the staff in the ambassador, the hotel had worked closely with our florist and I could not believe the décor and how amazing the reception room and ballroom looked.
The highlight has to be the food, the meal was out of this world, and our family & guests continue to praise about the meal that they received. This did not stop them from dancing the night away on the fantastic dance floor, topped up with more delicious evening food.
Every detail was addressed, a separate room was used a chill out room on the night of the wedding with tables and lounge chairs, and we then used it for a second day party the following day.
My husband and I did not have to worry about one detail during the day, a member of the management team was on hand at all times to keep us updated and to ensure smooth running of the night, especially as it was New Year’s Eve.
Our friends and family are still talking about the amazing rooms, food and experience we received at the Ambassador and we couldn’t praise them enough.
