Wedding in Longford

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.

lough rynn and kilronan would be much closer than athlone to north longford.

very true, never been to kilronan but I don't like lough rynn, too many little rooms, not for me!!

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

Mullingar Park Hotel? Easy to get to, lots of parking, nice hotel, great function room.

The Pikers Lodge in Gowna, Co Cavan
Crover House Mount Nugent, Co Cavan
Viewmount House, Longford
Mullingar Park Hotel, Mullingar
Cavan Crystal Hotel, Cavan
Hotel Kilmare, Cavan

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.

I'd head up to the Slieve Russel in Cavan. Have a great wedding!
