    Getting married in north Longford next November. Looking for a venue, there are none in Longford, was thinking Athlone maybe? Any ideas? And recommendations for flowers, hair, make up, photographer appreciated.

    Viewmount house in Longford. Or Wine port in Glasson. I think they both would hold 90-120 people. Not sure though

    You'd be pretty close to cavan there too-was at a wedding in the Brefni arms in Arva a number of years ago-its been renovated since but i have good (but blurry) memories of the day. Carrick on Shannon might be an option either if Kilronan and Lough Rynn are in range-either the Landmark or the smaller family owned Bush Hotel do good weddings.

    Re flowers give this lady a call:

    they are based in Strokestown co Roscommon and cover this general area. I'm not an expert in flowers but i've used them a few times (for brownie points/almost forgotten birthdays/annniversaries) and they were very helpful and the 'experts' were always inpressed!

    I'm from only 3 miles from arva and I never thought of the Breffni. A case of couldn't see the forest for the trees in the way!
    The best thing to do is check out the ones you are interested in and gate crash a wedding for a half an hour or so to see what they're like.
