Magherafelt Couple Win €10,000 Wedding at Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa
Magherafelt couple Deirdre Scullion and Bryan Mc Cann are celebrating today after being drawn as the 2010 winners of the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa €10,000 wedding competition.
Over 80 couples attended the Wedding Fair last Sunday at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa to find out if they were the lucky winners of the €10,000 wedding competition, but of course there can only be one winner and on this occasion it was Deirdre and Bryan from Magherafelt, Co. Derry.
Deirdre, the bride to be said, “Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa was the first and only hotel that we looked at to book our wedding. We fell in love with the location being set on the coast and the hotel itself is a stunning venue. Breda made us feel very welcome and comfortable when we had our appointment and we knew that the staff of Ballyliffin would look after us and our guests on the big day!!
She added, “Neither Bryan or myself have ever had any luck in competitions before so we hadn’t even discussed what winning would mean to us as we never imagined that we would have a chance with so many couples entering the draw! When our names were called out we were both in complete shock, as you might see from the photographs. Winning this draw has been such a fantastic help to our wedding plans, we have both been saving so hard for our dream day and to have Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa pay for our reception is a dream come true. We are even more excited about our wedding day now, thanks to the generosity of the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa Hotel. It is just fantastic. A dream come true.”
The couple who got engaged in Las Vegas in September 2008, plan to wed on 8 October 2010 at the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa.
Cecil Doherty, Managing Director of the 40 bedroom hotel said, The Ballyliffin Lodge opened its doors in June 2005 and quickly established itself as one of the leading hotels in Donegal. We have had wedding enquiries from around the world but in the past two years we have come to understand more the greater financial concerns for couples getting married so we decided to introduce new €35 menus and our €10,000 wedding reception competition.
He added, “ The response to the competition has been such, that we have decided to re-introduce it for 2011 wedding couples. This will be the third year for the competition but we have found from talking to couples, that there is nothing quite like it out there and couples are requesting we continue with it. So book your wedding for 2011 and you will be entered into the draw to win your wedding reception worth €10,000. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all our sponsors, without whom this competition would not be possible.”
