Wedding Fairs
December 16, 2010
We are really excited about our, now annual, Wedding Showcase. This year to be held on Saturday January 22nd 2011. The chefs are busy planning some tasty canapés and Jeremy will be honing his mulled wine making skills over Christmas in time for the big event. When we meet with couples and invite them to have a look around the castle, there is always a certain amount of imagination required on their part. The day of a wedding the whole place is transformed- trailing ivy on the entrance staircase, co-ordinating flower arrangements through out the castle, the reception drinks making a gorgeous display in the hall awaiting guests’ arrival… Our showcase gives potential brides and grooms, as well as their friends and families, the chance to see it how it will be on their big day. It also gives people a chance to have an informal snoop around, although most of our couples have already been handed a master key for their own private tour! Our wedding staff will be on hand to answer any questions or queries that come up and we will be offering special discounts to couples who book and pay deposits on the day. On top of all that there is a really special rate for couples travelling long distance to come and see us- €85 per person sharing for dinner, bed and breakfast and this rate is available both the night before and the night of the showcase event.
As well as hosting our own event, we will be in attendance at one of Ireland’s biggest wedding fairs, the Wedding Journal Show in Dublin’s Citywest Complex on January 14th, 15th & 16th. We’ll be at stand C17 and so anyone who wants to check us out before making the journey to Sligo, please come along and say hello. Book tickets in advance for a discounted price http://www.weddingjournalonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=80
We are also involved in an exciting new venture- The Wedding Centre. It’s sort of a permanent wedding fair and a one-stop shop for all your wedding needs. The Wedding Centre is located in Rathfarnham and is opening in January. We think it’s a great idea as it allows couples to relax and take their own time browsing the various options on display. Wedding Fairs can be really overwhelming experiences, with leaflets being pushed at you from all directions and everyone trying to sell their wares. This will afford couples all the advantages of being able to compare suppliers while avoiding the hard-sell aspect. http://www.theweddingcentre.ie/
Weddingsonline.ie, one of Ireland’s leading wedding websites and forums, is hosting their own version of a wedding fair WOLfest will be taking place this March, at Punchestown, and we hope to be there too. It promises to be something different from the usual wedding fair set up with three stages with live bands, fashions shows and more. There will be prizes for the best wellies and we’re hoping that this applies to exhibitors too! http://www.wolfest.ie/
