The absolute best day
We had the ABSOLUTE BEST day, thank you so much!!! Our guests absolutely loved exploring the village after the ceremony, and it was much appreciated being able to get into the venue the day before for set up etc. People are still talking about how much they loved being able to get sweets from the sweet shop and go exploring, and for the general fabulousness of the venue. Thank you for being so accommodating with our trail plans.

Our own little movie set
We had our wedding and reception at the Manor in May. In the run up to our wedding the Manor staff were very helpful and attentive. They made it very easy to organise and were very accommodating whenever we needed to visit to finalise plans. Craft&Co were fab on the day and catered to our every need! We absolutely loved being able to go up to the Folk Museum for our photographs, we managed to dodge the thunderstorms whilst exploring what felt like our own little movie set.

100% recommend this gorgeous venue
We had our wedding ceremony at the Omagh Meeting House and reception at Cultra Manor on Saturday past. The church itself was amazing and the Manor was beautiful, all the museum staff were so lovely and accommodatin. Judy and Gillian helped with all the planning and ensured the day ran smoothly. We used tokens for the Museum Sweet Shop as favours and the guests all loved it! We had an amazing day despite the rain, enjoyed by everyone. Would 100% recommend this gorgeous venue to anyone thinking of
