El & Adams fun destination wedding in a country Manor House
Eleanor and Adam's romantic outdoor wedding at Manor Ballyvolane House was an absolute belter! These two lovebirds from Yorkshire and London have a real soft spot for Ireland, and they decided to make it the backdrop for their big day. Originally they got engaged in Sheen falls but opted for Ballyvolane House as their wedding venue due to its proximity to Cork Airport, which made it easily accessible to those travelling by plane to the wdding.
Even with all their closest mates travelling over to witness them tie the knot, not even a global internet outage could put a dampener on this epic celebration. The venue, the vendors, the whole shebang - was brilliant craic.
From the stunning Manor Ballyvolane House staff Jenny, Justin and Bernie to the talented glam squad of Maria and Lynn every single element came together to make Eleanor and Jack's day one to remember. And the cherry on top? Having the brilliant Jacqui Lee as their humanist celebrant, not to mention Matt on video, it was pretty much a dream team all round, so it was. And don't get me started on the trad band, the Wild Turkeys with their antique instruments and Dance Till Dawn which got everyone up dancing after our beautiful meal.
Seriously, these two have got it all sorted - a cracking venue, a dream team of suppliers, and most importantly, a whole lot of love and laughter in abundance. Here's to a lifetime of happiness for Eleanor and Jack! Gra Mór.
