You can obviously tell from this blog, that it’s pretty much about my wedding :)
As we’re working on an outside event at this time (well, I’m working on it!) we have to take into consideration that it might rain. When I say might, what I really mean is that it will rain because it’s Northern Ireland and we’ll all be drowned. So the alternative to soggy couture gowns and sandwiches swimming in rain water, is to hire a marquee. Ugh, even the thought makes me want to run away.
For the record, I HATE marquees lol. I used to work with a kids summer camp through the youth service and we spent a week away every year living out of tents and a marquee. This means that all my experiences of them are muddy, cold, windy and wet lol; much like my wedding will probably be!!
So I’ve been looking about for alternatives, and I was sorely disappointed as there really isn’t much out there that tickles my fancy. I’ve highlighted what I’ve found below and a bit about them.
North Down Marquees offer the traditional wedding fare. From billowing curtained walls to beautiful shiny floors, they’ll offer you a complete package of style and sophistication.
They’ll set up and take down, and bring everything with them that you’ll need for the evening (or the day). They can provide all your necessities, from the cutlery to the bathrooms is available.
On the other hand, who the hell wants what everyone else has?
I spoke a while back about Magnakata on my Wedding Journal post. As I’ve been looking into the whole need for cover, I keep going back to them as an idea. I don’t honestly think that my mum’s garden will be big enough for one of the big tents, but I’m going to discuss one of the smaller ones instead. After all, we’re only going to have a maximum of 40 people there, so I don’t think I need the room to sit 60.
They can also provide you with beautiful tables and benches, along with the likes of a fire pit and reindeer skins ;)
Anywho, go and visit their website, and also get in touch with them and head down and see them for their open day. They very accessible for Ireland and Northern Ireland and their open day is on the 18th April (I wanted to go and I had planned to, but with Brian flying me over to see him I won’t be able to).
So what have we learned from this?
Well, there is not a lot on offer in Northern Ireland for outside events, but you do have the choice of two, standard and sweet, or original and rustic.
Night guys ;)
