The evening started at 6.15pm at The Double Tree by Hilton with a drinks reception and live music […]

The pressure is always on when you meet a couple and realise you have friends in common. Kayleigh and Hugh visited Òran Mór in September 2017 to see our Auditorium as a possible venue for their wedding. At this point we realised that Hugh worked with one of my good friend’s partner – it really […]

At my first ever wedding fayre in April 2016 I met with Claire Linton’s mother who introduced herself and informed me that she was attending the fayre representing Claire and Russell who were getting married at Òran Mór  in June 2017, but live down south and couldn’t attend.

Susie and Rosie popped in to the venue to visit our Auditorium on a Monday afternoon and were shown round by one of my colleagues. The couple loved the room so much that by the time I got back to work on Tuesday, they had already made a provisional booking for Saturday 21st July 2018. […]

On Saturday 19th of May 2018 the whole of the UK crowded round their televisions to watch Meghan Markle walk down the St Georges Church aisle in Windsor Castle at 12.00pm before marrying Prince Harry.

On Sunday 7th of October we hosted the second Òran Mór Wedding Fayre of 2018. Since starting at Òran Mór I have met and worked with so many amazing suppliers, making it extremely difficult to pick who to invite to the event. It is important to me that the suppliers who exhibit at our wedding […]
