In Cork we like to say that down here it’s different, and at Sea Church we try to offer something a little bit original.
Our unique venue is perfect for weddings, special events, exhibitions and functions. Boasting panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Sea Church is a magical, renovated church just outside the fishing village of Ballycotton.
While the church has retained its classic features and traditional elements, our restaurant has all of the modern touches one would expect. Not only that but a culinary feast of fresh, local produce is at our head chef’s disposal.
Offering hospitality that’s warm and true to the Irish spirit, down here it really is different. We look forward to welcoming you to the shores of Ballycotton Bay to discover what sets us apart for yourself.
Sea Church, overlooking Ballycotton Bay on Ireland’s Ancient East, is located just 25 miles from Cork City and a stones throw from the sandy beach that stretches for miles from Silverstrand to Ballycrenane. Breath-taking surroundings, a wealth of rugged scenery at its doorstep & endless photo opportunities, our beautiful venue is perfect for some East Cork shenanigans with a difference! Wonderful East Cork awaits your guests with outdoor activities from surfing, fishing, sailing, sea angling and kayaking to walks, cycles and golf.
Finding the ideal wedding location in Ireland can be a challenge but Sea Church provides the perfect backdrop to your special day; an exciting, high-quality alternative to conventional venues.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic wedding ceremony location, hosting an intimate wedding reception or throwing an informal wedding party, Sea Church is a wonderful scenic setting to your perfect day.
We are an approved venue for civil and same-sex weddings. The ever changing landscape of the wedding industry in Ireland has found itself moving toward Micro weddings. Due to Covid-19 and the necessity of social distancing Micro weddings have become more attractive and certainly more attainable under the current guidelines. At Sea Church we have reduced the number of attendees that we can accommodate at ceremonies to 100 guests. We also offer boutique wedding meals that can accommodate up to 50 guest. Sea Church is located on Ballycotton Bay which provides an abundance of spectacular locations for your wedding photographs.
In fact, we can even arrange for Ballycotton Sea Adventures to run a boat trip to the famous lighthouse! Whether you are Irish and live abroad, or East Cork is your dream location for your wedding, planning your big day has never been easier at Sea Church.
Sea Church is the perfect location to celebrate family occasions offering a distinctive experience in a unique and characterful venue. Whether you want to celebrate with a small gathering of close friends and family or a big blow out, Sea Church is the place for you!
The character and location of Sea Church provide the perfect backdrop to your function. With in-house catering and finger food options, together with a fully stocked/staffed bar, we can cater for all your event needs.
Depending on the size of your celebration you can book an area of the restaurant; alternatively, the church venue is also available to be booked privately, depending on the date required and a minimum number of guests.
