Cork Wedding Fair: Fota Island Resort

Some of Ireland’s top wedding experts are coming together for one exclusive evening at Fota Island Resort .  The Wedding Forum will take place on Thursday 2nd December, and is set to be one supremely useful and informative evening.

I went to this event last year, and I have to say that it was hugely informative and valuable. Far from the hotel just showcasing their facilities, they aimed to gather experts in one room to share their insider wedding knowledge and tips with the couples in the room.

Who’ll be there:

  1. Phyl Clarke, stylish beauty editor of the Irish Times, will be passing on her extensive knowledge to brides-to-be to ensure their skin looks flawless and picture perfect on the big day.
  2. Top Dublin makeup artist Leonard Daly will be demonstrating and discussing his much sought after makeup tips.
  3. Sharon Hoey Bridal Boutique will have the new collection for 2011 on show on the night as well as that of Olivia Couture, the modern romantic couture gowns exclusive to Sharon in Ireland, and voted by Vogue Brides and Cosmo Brides as some of their favourite wedding designs.
  4. Fionn Davenport will give honeymoon and travel advice on the evening. Fionn reports for leading travel publications such as the Lonely Planet Guides, as well as presenting and contributing to programmes on Newstalk 106, and will provide in-depth advice on the loveliest locations to unwind after your big day!
  5. Head Chef at Fota Island Resort, Craig Coady, will impart his extensive culinary knowledge on the evening, assisting you in designing the perfect wedding menu.
  6. Nelius Buckley, the award winning wedding photographer from Kinsale, will advise on how best to capture the day for future reminiscing.
  7. Super stylish model and TV presenter, and new face of Paco, Pamela Flood will host the evening, which will also include fantastic prizes, great goodie bags and much more!

All the essentials for making your wedding simple, stylish and stunning are here for you at Fota Island Resort this  Thursday 2nd December from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Spaces are limited so make sure to register here.

** UPDATE 1st December: Baby, it’s cold outside!! Due to weather conditions, Fota Island Resort’s wedding forum has been postponed until Thursday 9th December.  All times/speakers etc remain the same. **
