The building has history and due to the fact that it is family run there is a sense of \u2018\u2019home\u2019\u2019 about the hotel.

Once you decide on your wedding style, try to stay focused on that. Less is always more. Don\u2019t make quick decisions. It may be exciting to book the first photographer or florist you meet, but take a step back and weigh all your options before making any quick decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Current Trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lynda:<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8220;The biggest trends that I am noticing are sweetheart tables \u2013 not going for the traditional top table route and just having a table for the bride &amp; groom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery overflow\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"col-1-1 mob-col-1-1 tiny-col-1-1\"><div class=\"gallery-image gcl-1\"><a class=\"lightbox\" alt=\"Morgan Suite Civil Ceremony (2)\" title=\"Morgan Suite Civil Ceremony (2)\" href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Morgan-Suite-Civil-Ceremony-2.jpg\" data-imagelightbox=\"f\"><img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Morgan-Suite-Civil-Ceremony-2.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Favorite &amp; Least Favourite Trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lynda:<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8220;Although I haven\u2019t been doing it an awfully long time my pet hate seems to be Photo booths and sweet tables. I cringe when I see them on the checklist. I also have developed a love\/hate relationship with the trend of having 2 dresses. I believe that the bride has been waiting so long to wear her wedding gown and it is only one day that you get to wear the dress, you should wear it for the entirety of the day and not change out of it throughout the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Strange or Unique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the heart of Cork City, The Imperial Hotel\u00a0seems to have it all.
