DREAMING OF AN
EXOTIC WEDDING LOCATION ?
Experience the magic of the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens in Tramore for your special day. These stunning Japanese gardens will provide you with an exotic setting, right here on our own doorstep!
Imagine exchanging vows in front of the elegant Azumaya (Summer Pavilion), with views over the tranquil lower pond. There is seating by the water’s edge and on the surrounding lawn where your family and friends can witness your ceremony in a breathtaking location overlooking Tramore beach and bay.
Your will have wonderful photograph opportunities and be able to capture those unforgettable moments in front of stunning backdrops throughout the gardens, including the Japanese Teahouse, Sori Bashi Bridge, Niomon Gate, Fujidana, and the serene Bamboo Path. Whether it’s spring blossoms, vibrant summer blooms, or rich autumn foliage, the gardens provide a picturesque setting all year round.
Although the magical setting of the gardens is unmatched, there is no need to worry about wet weather, the new Kokoro Cultural Centre (Kokoro meaning “Heart” or “Spirit” in Japanese) is a beautifully designed Japanese style indoor space and offers a unique alternative. Kokoro’s glass-fronted façade and outdoor deck provides panoramic views of the gardens and sea, making it a perfect setting for ceremonies and light refreshments.
So when planning the big day why not choose the Japanese Gardens in Tramore, County Waterford as your destination, here you can celebrate your love in a setting as special as you are.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS
The Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens is also the perfect setting to have your Wedding Photographs taken, should you choose to have the Ceremony elsewhere or in a Church. There are some some stunning backdrops throughout the gardens, but you would need to book in advance to ensure your preferred date.
