The best day ever with the best venue

Our day was beyond perfect. The weather was amazing and the Harris beaches were stunning! Talla Na Mara was the perfect venue. Unrivalled scenery, delicious food and lovely staff. Everything was personalised to you, including our delicious pizza buffet in the evening. Thank you for our perfect day 💕

I have received the best care and service

I cannot speak highly enough of Talla na Mara. From my first enquiry until after the day itself, I have received the best care and service. As I don’t live near Harris, it was reassuring to know everything was under control and so well organised.
