Your Day, Your Way

When did you tie the knot?

13/08/2025

Where did you say “I do”?

We had our ceremony at Gilnahirk Presbyterian Church then down to The Loft for the best reception.

What made The Loft 'THE' place for your big day?

We went to The Rabbit 3 years ago for dinner and we both loved the food so when we got engaged we knew we should go their first for a look and we both just fell in love with the quirkiness and how romantic it was.

Any standout moments that still gives you butterflies?

Walking into The Rabbit to an ever lasting love and all of our family and friends waving their napkins.

Which of our wedding planners helped bring your vision to life and how was working with them?

All of it. Megan was an absolute dream!

Got any advice for future couples — especially those tying the knot at The Loft?

Enjoy every minute of your day it goes in so quick.

Where did you say “I do”?

The Boathouse

What made The Loft 'THE' place for your big day?

From the minute we stepped into The Loft for our viewing I got chills. I actually nearly cried! I just knew this was the place. The decor, the whole layout of the room. Just everything was perfect. 

Any standout moments that still gives you butterflies?

The fact that our guests still talk about our wedding and comment on how stunning the venue was. The food…they still talk about the food! It all just makes me so happy and proud! 

Which of our wedding planners helped bring your vision to life and how was working with them?

Beth! We actually had a few planners but due to them leaving and also maternity our wedding was handed over to beth. Beth was amazing! She made everything seem so straight forward and made everything feel calm and at ease! Her communication was also amazing! 

Got any advice for future couples — especially those tying the knot at The Loft?

Cliche but take it ALLLL in. It goes by so fast. I’d actually love someone I know to get married there so I can experience the wedding venue from a guests point of view

Alan and I met when I was 18 and Alan was 21 but were friends long before then with mutual friends. We booked to go to Las Vegas & Mexico in August 2020 but due to lockdown our trip was cancelled so we ended up doing a long weekend at the most amazing Air BnB on the Red Lion Road in October 2020, on the Saturday we went out to do some of the walking trails at Gosford Forest Park and just as we approached the castle, Alan got down on one knee and I cried my heart out before eventually saying yes… The engagement bubble was fab!

Your Day, Your Way

Ceremony

We had our wedding ceremony in The Boathouse, it is such a beautiful space for a ceremony. We wanted a religious ceremony but also wanted to keep everything in the one place due to family travelling from near and far so we were so thankful to be able to do this at The Rabbit.

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

We wanted a venue that would give us the WOW factor. We decided to do a viewing at The Rabbit and we're so glad we did as the minute we walked in, we had that WOW we'd been waiting for, we booked and paid our deposit within the week!

Favourite memory of you wedding day

We honestly has the best day so picking one favourite memory is difficult, but I definitely think it was the alone time with eachother over a pint of outcider before being introduced into The Loft as Mr & Mrs Russell.

THE HAPPY COUPLE

Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal

We were high school sweethearts, we met in second year before hitting it off in third year. We got engaged on our second trip to Paris after we both fell in love with the city first time round. Brian proposed with a sunrise breakfast overlooking the Eiffel Tower, followed by a private river seine boat trip, and ending with a romantic dinner at a beautiful restaurant watching the twinkling lights of the Eiffel tower above us. A day we will always remember.

YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

Ceremony

We had our ceremony in the beautiful Boathouse. We dreamt of a relaxing, personal ceremony and that is exactly what we got due to this wonderful space and the amazing Chloe Cairns (@chloecairns.thecelebrant).

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

The venue search was very short for us, I found The Loft on social media while on night duty. Brian woke up to a number of text messages at 4am, “I’ve found our venue”. A viewing was made for that weekend and as soon as we walked into The Loft we both knew it was perfect for us. It was exactly what we wanted from a venue, it ticked all our boxes. The Wedding team at The Rabbit made the process so easy and enjoyable and were always on hand to offer their help and advice and guide you through the process.

Favourite memory of your Wedding

We have so many wonderful memories from our wedding day but one of our favourites has to be having our wee dog at our ceremony. When we found out that The Rabbit was a dog friendly hotel it was the cherry on top. They were more than happy for her to part of our special day and were so accommodating in making this happen. She ran up the aisle towards us when we were pronounced as husband and wife which made for some amazing photos that we will have forever. It meant so much to us and it topped of an amazing ceremony.

THE HAPPY COUPLE

Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal

Connor and I met in April 2012. I was living in Australia at the time, and I came home for a friend’s wedding. Connor had become friends with all our mutual friends while I had been living away. We met on Good Friday in Filthy McNasty’s. Connor hadn’t intended on being out as he had been out the night before and had a football match the next morning. However, upon getting to know me he decided to stay and later that night we had our first cheeky kiss. Unfortunately, I went back to Australia, but we kept in contact while I was away. Fast forward to August 2012 and I booked Connor a one way ticket to Melbourne to come join me. We then moved back home to Belfast in 2013. Connor took me to NYC in Jan 2017 as a 30th Birthday present. One night he decided to take me on a midnight walk in Central Park. When we got there, it was -4 degrees the ground was covered in snow and ice. We came to a bank by the lake in central park, the water was completely frozen over. Connor asked me to grab a stone to break the ice and as I turned round there was the big eejit on his knee with a ring and asked me to marry him. I initially laughed until he said “Hurry up my knees cold” and of course I said yes!!

YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

Ceremony

We had a beautiful Humanist Ceremony with our amazing Celebrant Ciara Turley in the stunning Boat House ceremony room in the grounds of The Rabbit Hotel. We couldn’t recommend our celebrant enough Ciara is truly one beautiful lady and she made the whole ceremony so special and personalised. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The Boat House was just the most stunning location for our ceremony too, so cosy and beautifully decorated.

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

When we finally decided to book our wedding and search for the perfect venue The Loft was top of our list. From initial contact the staff couldn’t be more accommodating from trying to schedule in a viewing time that would suit us and even on our first visit to The Loft. When we seen the space we just knew it was the perfect space for us. The room was so beautifully decorated that we didn’t need to do anything to it, this took that whole stress away from us. The wedding package they offered just had everything that we wanted to be included. The location of the venue was also perfect as it was close enough to Belfast and the airport for our guests to easily travel to and from. The whole place was just completely our vibe.

Favourite memory of your Wedding

The ceremony was highlight for us it was such an emotional and special moment that we got to share with all our closest friends and family. Also the food at the reception was absolutely outstanding, we’ve had so many comments from our guests about how good the food was. We also loved the attention to detail and help the staff gave us on our day from start to finish. Our hands were never empty without a drink! Special mention to Claire and Chloe who literally couldn’t have done anymore for us thank you so so much you girls are complete angels!

The Happy Couple

We met in a nightclub in Belfast back in 2014 through our friends. After months of dating Nathan asked me to be his girlfriend and I panicked and said no, then changed my mind a week later and said yes (lol)! Who would have thought we would be married 9 years later. We went to Finnlough for an overnight in September 2021 and Nathan proposed that evening after dinner with candles, rose petals, bubbly and lots of photos of us and our daughter displayed. It was just perfect!

Favourite memory of your wedding day

It’s hard to choose one specific memory as the whole day was literally just amazing, which was mainly down to The Loft wedding planners and the staff who were so attentive. The food was also out of this world! Walking up the aisle surrounded by our nearest and dearest with Nathan waiting at the top was a big highlight for me. Also my first dance with my dad, he made a slideshow of photos from I was a child and went to a recording studio and sang a song which got recorded to play over the slideshow, it had everyone in tears!

Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal

We met through working in a cafe, we weren’t close at the start but after years of working together we realised we had a lot of similarities and became best friends! Baz asked me out on a date so we had our first date at titanic and it blossomed from there! For the proposal he took me out to my favourite restaurant and then back to our first date spot (titanic), got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife - the easiest yes ever! 

YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

Ceremony

Our ceremony took place in our church Mount Zion in Lisburn

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

When we were venue hunting the loft really stood out to us because the staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough to cater to your needs and make the day special! We had ideas about different food etc and Donna the chef was more than happy to cook different styles of cuisines to make our day special! The venue speaks for itself in terms of beauty, we had very little to do in terms of decorating as the venue is so stunning as it is! As well as that there are many rooms for the guests to stay over in and a fantastic spa to relax in the next day!

Favourite memory of your Wedding

Our favourite memory was sitting back at the top table and seeing that everything had come together and that our dream day had came true! There were so many great elements to the day but having our family and friends home from all around the world and all together was really special.

We had our ceremony in the Boathouse lead by our pastor with all our closest family and friends.

Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal

Thomas and Joanna met in London back in 2014 when working in the Savoy Theatre. Thomas was passing through in the middle of a midlife crisis, and Joanna was hard at work minding her own business, little did we know then but the show we were working on would influence the wedding venue we would get married at 8 years later. After a what could be described as a summer fling, and Thomas moving away to work somewhere else, we kept in touch and spent the best part of 5 years long distance before settling in Northern Ireland, so it was a good while before the proposal (in Joanna's opinion) but after a lovely snowy walk in Hillsborough Forest Park, Thomas had the ring in his pocket, bearing in mind at this point he had chickened out of asking the parents for permission. Turns out he would also chicken out on asking Joanna to marry him on the walk too, so he asked her later on that evening in bed, before the clock struck midnight, so he didn't have to ask Joanna on her birthday. 

Your Day, Your Way

Ceremony

Karen the celebrant was our celebrant for a humanist ceremony on site at The Rabbit. Karen gave us the most wonderful personal experience and shared our story to family and friends before a hand fastening where we literally tied the knot. A fun highlight was when the best man left the vows in the car and had to make a dash to the car park. 

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

We saw The Loft as it was just starting to be a venue for weddings. We were shown around by Jemma and the venue was beautiful. From the moment we entered the doors we could feel it was a place we wanted our special day, but what sealed the deal was when we saw a painting of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, it was the show we met on when working in the Savoy Theatre, we took that as a sign this was the venue for us. 

Favourite memory of your Wedding 

To pick a favourite moment from the wedding is a difficult choice and I'm sure it'll be diferent for the both of us. For Thomas, it was the food and getting a bloody good ripping into by the best man with his speech, oh and obviously getting to marry Joanna. For Joanna, apart from finally getting to marry Tom, was having all our friends and family together after covid and the moment we entered the reception room as a married couple, feeling all the love and joy throughout the whole room and feeling like a bit of a celeb.

THE HAPPY COUPLE

We met in Dublin 6 years ago. Chris proposed on a weekend away in Mount Juliet Estate. I had a strong feeling he was going to propose, and he had a strong feeling I knew, so neither of us spoke a word the whole way there! It was a gorgeous location to get engaged & we drove into Dublin the following day to pick the ring!

YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

Ceremony

At the Good Shephard Church on the Ormeau Road. This is where Chris was Christened & also where his parents got married!

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

The venue was beautiful. We had guests coming from all over the world so we wanted somewhere that was closeby to Belfast City that they could spend a couple of days to enjoy, and also had a fabulous location to stay in.

Favourite memory of your Wedding

Looking around the room & seeing everyone we love coming from near & far to spend the day with us.

We initially started chatting on a dating app (the modern love story) but didn’t get together until months later when we both happened to be at the same bar – it was meant to be! On Boxing Day 2020, we went to our special place Finn Lough in Enniskillen. We had a lovely time at the spa and then when we got back to the relaxation room, there were rose petals and candles everywhere and our song was playing – this is where Les popped the question with the most beautiful ring and Megan of course said yes!

Your Day, Your Way

Ceremony

We had our ceremony in the Fern Room on 08.10.2022 – the beautiful Boathouse wasn’t quite ready yet but we did manage to get some photos in there afterwards. Megan’s dad walked her down the aisle to Emily-Rose Edgar singing “All About You” by McFly, and he then forgot to “give her away” and just sat down so that provided a few laughs for everyone! Our ceremony was beautiful – short and sweet with a reading of “Carrie’s Poem” by Megan’s niece, Eva. We signed the register to “Always Remember Us This Way” and then walked out to the most brilliant confetti throw with all of our guests – some of our favourite photos from the day!

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

We knew The Loft was where we wanted to get married before we were even engaged. We went for a viewing with Jemma soon after Les had popped the question and booked that same day. It was everything we wanted and more for our special day.

Favourite memory of your Wedding

Honestly there are so many – it sounds cliché but it was truly the best day of both of our lives. We had booked a singing waiter as a surprise for our guests and almost everyone says this was their favourite part of the day – such a brilliant idea to wake everyone up again after the meal. We also loved the speeches with our loved ones and of course dancing the night away with DJ Magiggs – he definitely knew how to get everybody on to the dance floor. We also had the lovely S’mores and Snaps s’mores bar out on the terrace which was a big hit with everybody.

How did you meet and how did the proposal go?

Our friend Rachael match made us! She knew Scotty from school and set us up. Scott text me first, took me a few months to consider (ha!). Rachael knew Scotty and I would be a good match and she was right, funny enough not long after we got a job with a dating agency! The proposal was really cute, under a floral arch at our house, my mum and Scotty had worked hard to put lights and flowers on it a few weeks after my birthday. No photo evidence though as it was 9pm just after I got home from a 13 hour shift!

Your Day, Your Way

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

There really wasn’t a question for me, I had seen The Loft online and I just knew it was perfect for us, luckily for me Scotty agreed upon viewing the venue. I loved everything about it, the décor, staff, absolutely everything was fantastic.

Favourite memory of your wedding

I would say when the ceremony doors opened and I could see everyone I love sitting together, and Scotty at the top of the aisle it was so magical. Scotty’s would be the moment his speech was over! He loved everything and would struggle to pick a favourite, but the food is high up there though!

Tell us a little about how you met 

We met years ago in a bar in Cookstown where I worked. Daniel was in one night and his friend started the conversation between us.

Talk us through the proposal

We went to London in January for my birthday and he proposed to me in our hotel room. He had planned on booking the London Eye but I told him I didn't want to go on it as there were big queues lol. (You can imagine how unorganised Daniel is).

Your Day, Your Way

Ceremony

Holy Trinity Church, Cookstown

What made you choose The Loft to host your day?

I had seen The Loft online and I thought the images looked too good to be true. It was the first (and only) venue that we looked at and when we saw it in person I was blown away by how beautiful it was. Maureen was so welcoming and gave me so much information and guidance as I hadn't a clue where to start with wedding planning. I couldn't imagine having our day anywhere else. It was perfect.

Favourite memory of your Wedding Day

Sitting down to dinner, finally relaxed after the chapel nerves, photos etc and just taking it all in. All our favourite people there and such a beautiful setting.

How was your Wedding Planner?

Absolutely fantastic. I cannot thank Maureen enough for all she has done. Nothing was ever any bother. She made planning my day so enjoyable!

Top Tips

Try and enjoy the day as it really does go as fast as people say.
