Wedding Day Helicopter
We got married at Mount Stewart and had our evening reception in Killyleagh. We used a local helicopter company called HeliPower between the two locations. We contacted Finnebrogue very close to our wedding to arrange landing as our previous plans had fallen through. They were one of the best wedding suppliers we dealt with something that had been causing us so much stress for months was easily resolved in a few emails. They were also brilliant on the day! I would highly recommend landing at Finnebrogue if you fancy something a little different on your wedding day!

A magical place!
Finnebrogue is an incredible venue in a one-of-a-kind setting. The view down the lawn onto the lake is stunning and it's so unique to feel part of nature at a wedding.
Gillian and her team at Finnebrogue went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we'd hoped and more. It was an unforgettable day and everything from the timings, decorations, food to teepees was perfect. This is a truly special place!

Hands down the best wedding venue in the world, and we can't thank you enough for hosting the best day of our lives.
We just wanted to drop you all an email to say an absolutely massive THANK YOU for everything you all did to make our wedding day so special!
There are no words to describe how perfect Finnebrogue Woods was as the setting for our big day. Our guests were completely blown away by it and haven't stop talking about how beautiful it was.
We also can't thank you enough for all of your efforts in creating such a perfect place for us to hold our wedding. You were all so kind, helpful and generous with your time - we felt completely at ease knowing it was in such good hands.
We hope we left everything as tidy as possible and that the next lucky couple enjoy it all as much as we did.
Hands down the best wedding venue in the world, and we can't thank you enough for hosting the best day of our lives.

FAQ

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
That's a difficult one as each and every wedding we have done at Finnebrogue Woods has been really special. We give our couples quite a free rein so if they would like to do something out of the ordinary that we can cater for, we are all for it! We had one couple get married across the lake on small jetty with all their guests looking on from the tipi site on the other side of the lake. We will remember that one as it is so different.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't ever think an idea you have is too wacky; just go with it! It is your one day where you can really express yourselves. Also don't stress the detail too much. If you can't get the right shaped napkin rings, does it really matter??
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
When one of our couple cut their cake with a chainsaw as the groom was a tree surgeon - cake was flying everywhere!!
