We're very busy this week putting our final touches to our Vintage Wedding Fayre, taking place on February 27th from 12 to 6pm.
As part of our 60th anniversary celebrations, the Castle Hotel in Macroom, which specialises in intimate bespoke weddings for up to 120 people are organising a Vintage Wedding Fayre!
On the day there will be the opportunity to go back to bygone eras with a showcase of Bridal Fashion through the decades, styled by one of Ireland’s top fashion stylists Sonja Mohlich. There will also be a trip down memory lane, as we will launch a collection of unique memorabilia from the hotel’s 60 year history on the day.
Over it’s 60 year history The Castle Hotel has established itself as one of the leading venues for people searching for a unique location for their wedding, many of whom choose the conveniently located Gougane Bara Church for their wedding ceremony – classed as one of the most romantic churches in the Ireland.
Co-Owner Don Buckley, who’s parents established the hotel back in 1951 said, “We are so proud to be celebrating 60 years in business this year and we felt it would be a lovely way to commemorate 60 year’s of hosting the most important days of people’s lives by holding a Vintage Wedding Fayre. Weddings are such a way of life at the Castle Hotel, and have been for so many years, that we feel a Vintage Wedding Fayre would showcase the hotel at its best and give people a nostalgic look of weddings and the different way people celebrated their big day.”
On the day guests will have the opportunity to view the Ardilaun Banqueting Room, bridal suite and Reception areas with newly appointed Castle Hotel Wedding Coordinator Ronan Fahy.
