October Wedding
Chris and I got married here last week and we really can't tell you how great the day was. Everyone complimented the food, the decor, the views. The bar service was great, the food was great and we couldn't have asked for better. We would definitely recommend a wedding here. Booking Hugh McCanns had a lot of meaning as Chris and I met each other climbing Slieve Donard, also got engaged at the top of Slieve Donard so we couldn't have picked a better venue with a view of the mountain behind us. Thanks to everyone at McCanns that made our day so much better than I could have hoped for! The staff members certainly enjoyed our singer waiter Camouflage lol Big thanks to Donna she was very helpful!
