It nestles in a woodland setting overlooking the scenic West Cork harbour of Glandore.

Glandore is considered one of Ireland’s most beautiful sea inlets and is a much sought after holiday home destination to several well-known personalities & executives. Its large, bright dining rooms, in glowing reds, greens and blues, provide a perfect setting for sophisticated weddings with up to 100 guests and additional 60 for the evening. With close family and friends to celebrate your day how can you resist such a unique experience that guests will remember forever? Whether you are looking for the formal black tie wedding to the casual chilled out informal day the friendly Rectory staff will be there to cater for your needs.
Amazingly the Rectory does not operate a Venue hire fee which saves you thousands. As well as the fact that the service charge is at your own discretion you’ll find the costs of your wedding at the Rectory to be exceptional value for money considering the setting, location & superb high standard of food. The menu offers a wide range of quality food including both meat and fish dishes. The standard of preparation and excellence of service is second to none.
Just picture the day: Whether it is a beautiful summer day and arriving to a champagne reception with canapés on the lawn or a crisp winter day soak in the warmth of the staff and peaceful views. Table plans displayed around the venue will indicate your seating for the evening. After an exquisite meal that is certain to get your taste buds going you can dance the night away to your band or if you are lucky enough spend some time on the patio absorbing the shimmering reflections of the moonlight over the harbour.

We were delighted with the service that you provided at the Rectory. We were both treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. The drinks reception was fantastic - the canapés were delicious (especially the cod cornet - definitely the nicest canapé we ever tasted!!).............The meal itself went like clockwork! The food was delicious and the service was excellent...Everyone was raving about the evening cheese board - it was a great success, and had a great West Cork theme to it!! We would not hesitate in recommending the Rectory as a wedding reception venue. We had such a great time that we wish we could do it all again!! Best regards,
Anne-Marie & Roland
