A look back on our Registration Night

Our associated sponsors all also exhibited on registration night; while guests were treated to the warm hospitality of the hotel with an array of beautiful nibbles on display - not to mention tea and coffee and a glass of bubbly for those who weren’t driving.

Serenading the hopeful couples as they arrived was their prospective wedding band ‘The Prenups’. Couples were led into the ballroom, which was beautifully set up with both the civil ceremony area, as well as the ballroom set for the wedding guests. It was a truly romantic and magical setting giving couples a glimpse of what it would be like to have the Errigal as the venue for their big day. Here the couples got a flavour of the wonderful prize to be won as the browsed the various stands set up by the associated sponsors The voting opens in this week’s edition and will run for four weeks up to and including the edition of November 5. Our couples will also be profiled while the vote is ongoing, with at least six profiled every week. The competition will culminate in the Results Night, which will be held in the Errigal Country House Hotel on Friday, November 6. All competing couples must attend on this night – as if you are called out as the winner on the night and are not present, the prize will go to the next couple. A special thanks to all our couples, to our sponsors and the Errigal Country House Hotel.
