Cork Wedding Suppliers — Complete & Ongoing Guide
Planning a wedding in Cork means choosing from florists, hair stylists, dress shops, cake makers and more — and it’s not always easy knowing where to start. This page is not a sponsored list or paid directory. It’s a living guide I’ve compiled myself, updated regularly with genuine Cork wedding suppliers who have active websites or social pages, so you can trust it’s always current.
While most of this guide is based in Cork City and county, some suppliers — especially wedding bands and special acts — travel nationwide. In time I’ll also expand the guide to include Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Waterford.
As a Cork wedding photographer, I see how every supplier adds their own magic to a wedding day. But it’s the photography that ties it all together — the flowers, the dress, the music, the moments with your guests. That’s the story I capture at JOD Photography: relaxed, natural, and full of personality.
“Hiring James was the best decision we made. His natural energy put us at ease, and the end result was the most incredible photos that truly captured ‘us’.” — Hollie Inger
Why Your Photographer Matters Too
Every supplier plays their part — but it’s the photographer who ties it all together. The flowers, the cake, the dress, the suits — they shine brightest when captured naturally and beautifully. That’s what I do at JOD Photography.

Why I Built This Supplier Guide
When couples reach out to me about photography, the next thing they usually ask is — “Do you know a good florist, band, or makeup artist?” After hearing it so often, I decided to start putting together one big list in the background.
Some of these suppliers I’ve worked with, some I haven’t. None of it is paid or sponsored. This is simply a living Cork wedding directory — one place you can check without spending hours trawling through random links.
It’s especially handy if you’re planning from abroad. Cork can feel like a maze of names and websites — here you’ll find them organised by category and county, all in one place.
And of course, while the flowers, the cake, and the band all matter — it’s your photos that tie it all together. That’s where JOD Photography comes in.

Planning Your Wedding in Cork & Beyond
This guide brings together Cork wedding suppliers in one place — florists, cake makers, bridal boutiques, men’s suits, wedding bands, DJs with LED dance floors, hair stylists, makeup artists, and unique entertainment acts. Whether you’re planning a small Cork elopement, a big family celebration in Kinsale or Clonakilty, or a destination wedding at Bantry House, Inchydoney, or Castlemartyr, you’ll find trusted suppliers here.
While this directory focuses on Cork City and County, many suppliers travel across Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Waterford. It’s especially useful if you’re planning from abroad and want reliable links instead of endless searching.
Your suppliers bring the details — the flowers, the music, the dress, the suits — and I bring the story. As a Cork wedding photographer, I capture it all naturally: the moments with your guests, the atmosphere of your venue, and the joy of the day.
