Òran Mór Wedding Blog

It is always great when suppliers or entertainers are excited to come to work in Òran Mór, but when a musician who has performed in our venue decides that the Auditorium is the perfect wedding venue for his wedding reception, it’s an honour.

What do you get when you mix an extremely creative couple, the perfect location and a team of fantastic suppliers and performers? This blog ventures into a wedding day which was completely unique and in some ways – I’m sure Georgina & Ricky won’t mind me saying – backwards.   Ricky Smith the owner of […]

Kirsty and James got married on Saturday 3rd of March 2018, which most of you will remember as the dreaded SNOW WEEK! Waking up on Tuesday 27th to a sheet of snow and my car very much stuck in the drive way, my thoughts immediately turned to my bride and groom who were traveling from […]

I feel that both the […]

Planning a wedding from the other side of the world would sound like a crazy idea to most couples who are going to tie the knot, but Gavin & Robin made it look like a walk in the park! After moving to Sydney, Australia, a couple of years ago Gavin & Robin decided there was […]
