Catherine & Joe’s Wedding Day Story
Catherine & Joe have been together for around ten years, after meeting at university, and you could really feel how much their guests had been waiting for this day. It was a gorgeous mix of Irish and English family and friends, and honestly the energy was unmatched from start to finish.
Their ceremony took place in the venue’s newest ceremony space, and it was everything a modern couple could want, heartfelt, personal and full of emotion. Officiated by Ciara Turley Humanist Celebrant (@ciaraturley.humanistcelebrant), there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. And yes… there was limoncello involved. Because if you can’t celebrate getting married with a shot of limoncello, what are we even doing?
