A day packed with love and laughter at every turn, Ciaran and Bryan celebrated their marriage in the sensational setting of Adare Manor. Read on to learn more about the details of their day.
The Couple: Ciaran & Bryan
Introducing Ciaran and Bryan, our Dream Irish Wedding couple who celebrated the next chapter of their love story together with their closest family and friends in the stunning surroundings of Adare Manor.
The pair radiated with happiness as they tied the knot, surrounded by nothing but love and joy throughout the whole weekend of celebrations.
The Destination: Adare Manor.
While our couple initially dreamt of an outdoor ceremony, the unpredictable Irish weather had other plans. The decision to move the ceremony indoors only added to the opulence of the day as the Maigue Suite was transformed into a sensational scene for Ciaran and Bryan to exchange vows and celebrate their marriage.
When asked why they decided on Adare Manor, the grooms replied: “We were planning on looking a number of venues in Ireland or Portugal. We drove into Adare Manor and fell in love with it. We knew immediately as we drove up the driveway that Adare Manor that this was going to be our special wedding venue. The attention to detail, the friendliness of the staff and the luxurious Manor made it the only choice for us.”
The Ceremony
Both Ciaran and Bryan had smiles on their faces throughout the ceremony, as did their guests. However, nothing could beat the joy of their precious dog walking down the aisle as their ring bearer.
The couple’s caring nature shone as they greeted their dog. Laughter rang through the crowd as he jumped up to congratulate them both at the top of the aisle.
Applause and celebrations began once the couple exchanged vows. The perfect way to walk down the aisle hand in hand towards their new life in marriage.
The Décor
Classic, romantic and elegant are the words that come to mind when looking at the décor choices of Ciaran and Bryan’s celebration.
White roses with vivid greenery created stunning focal points as table centrepieces for the reception. This was something the grooms were particularly happy with: “The flowers by Audrey & Renata in Twigs & Berries made the room look stunning and finished off the ballroom to make it our little wonderland.”
Soft lighting and romantic candlelight added to the enchanting feeling created in the ballroom. The perfect setting to start the celebrations with a toast to the newlyweds!
Final Words
We asked the couple to share their advice for newly engaged couples preparing for marriage and this was their response:
“Book Venue as soon as you can, get the right Priest/Celebrant. Make sure you have a wedding planner (really does cut out a lot of the smaller things you might have worry about), check a number of venues to suit your budget, don’t invite people for the sake of it as you really want to spend quality time with your close family and friends. Enjoy the day its amazing, take it all in as it goes so fast!”
They also shared some kind words and a special mention to the staff of Adare Manor for their additional support on the day:
“Big shout out to Philip our Butler in Adare who made sure that everything was sorted for our big day and Alex who made sure everything was sorted in advance. Obviously yourself too Michelle kept us on toes and on top of things before the wedding.”
We loved every minute of planning this sensational celebration and would like to extend a thank you to our talented creative team for their hard work in bringing this day together.
