Glenavon Hotel Wedding
I was booked by Kathleen by the couple and it was misty in the morning with a slight hint of rain as I made my way to the Glenavon Hotel. The room was quite small so I’m not too sure this was the bridal suite, I think this was a room for getting ready in. The girls were getting hair and makeup so I started with the dress and a few other clips too.
I also captured some audio that I could use when editing the highlights. As you’d expect it’s very loose and easygoing at this part which is why I always like to get some footage at this stage of the day. The hotel is one of the best wedding venues in Cookstown, although there are many more hotels in the area too.
Glenavon Hotel wedding photos are impressive and great as the couple’s wedding reception where we headed to the Christmas tree was no exception. Then some photos upstairs on the balcony and a bit of casual chat in The Adair Suite before the speeches started. Check out some photos from the day.
Glenavon Hotel Weddings
The Tyrone Suite was packed with about 150-200 guests including relatives and friends which makes Glenavon Hotel weddings the best in County Tyrone. The speeches started and were jolly good fun and not too long to boot. There was a bit of fun had by the best man and the lads and it was great to see Kathleen speak too. As mentioned earlier Kathleen (or Kat for short) is from Sydney, Australia and Damian is a local Irishman and the couple decided to get married here in his home country. Play the full video of the speeches below and make sure you watch to the end.
Justin McGurk was booked for the wedding and they did a fantastic job of singing at the wedding. They are a 2 piece band but you wouldn't think it to hear them. Justin called the guests around in a semi-circle so I had to move my second camera (on a tripod) to a better spot. The bride and groom commenced their first dance, and very soon afterwards the bridal party joined in too and then the guests. I wish you all the best back in Australia.
Before the Wedding
After bridal prep, I made my way swiftly towards St Patrick’s Church in Greencastle, County Tyrone where the ceremony was to be conducted which was about 20 minutes away from the hotel so fairly close. The Bridal Party arrived with cars supplied by Glendale Limousines Omagh with both a limo and carriage for the bride and groom.
The ceremony was conducted superbly by Father Edward Gallagher and I must to was one of the best I’ve seen with the correct mix of religion, humour and some little details of the couple. A few people were reading at the stand to break things up but mostly the priest. Afterwards, the Father brought the bridal party back into a small room for the signing of the official marriage certificates. Throughout the ceremony, there was beautiful singing by Claire McCartan at the back of the room alongside her keyboard and piano player Noelle Toner. After the ceremony, there were some portraits back in St Patrick's and then onto the pub!
After the ceremony, we stopped off at a couple of popular spots, firstly at a pub for a quick pulling of a pint. Some of the guests stayed for a pint (or two) but we had to head off for some bridal portraits at our new location.
Our next stop-off was Drum Manor Forest Park for some bridal portraits. It was raining a bit heavier at this stage of the day so umbrellas came out and shelter under the trees was used towards the end. There were a few different combinations while here but unfortunately, the rain got the better of us.
