Ballygarry thanks couples who booked wedding receptions at Ballygarry House Hotel & Spa

LAS VEGAS has arrived at Ballygarry House Hotel & Spa and following the huge success of the Wedding Party at the hotel last weekend (Sunday 1st November), a new Vegas Wedding Package is now being offered to couples.

The day was designed to make couples more aware of the growing requests for Civil Ceremonies and the hotel showcased the different possibilities for Themed Civil Ceremonies at Ballygarry. Those who attended complimented the hotel for introducing an idea that was referred to as being “a breath of fresh air and something different to traditional Wedding Fairs”.

Various themed weddings were exhibited including Traditional, Medieval, Shotgun (Western), Ethnic but it was the Vegas Weddings that captured the hearts and minds of the guests. Against a Vegas backdrop of lights, slot machines and images of Las Vegas, the Emerald Elvis Mark Leen demonstrated to the guests the fun involved in having a Vegas-wedding.

One couple walked down the red carpet before exchanging their vows which were all Elvis Presley song titles: “Do you promise to Love her Tender and to never step on her Blue Suede Shoes? Do you promise to give a big hunk a hunk of Burning Love and never to give cause to have Suspicious Minds?”

So popular was the experience, the General Manager at Ballygarry House Hotel & Spa, Padraig McGillicuddy, said a new Vegas Wedding Package has been devised in response to the Civil Ceremony market for themed wedding receptions. He said the hotel is catering for the increase in bookings from couples who want something different on their big day.

The new Las Ballygarry Wedding Package includes a civil ceremony in the hotel, a ride in an American Stretch Limo to the Memphian (home of Emerald Elvis) and the couple can get their photo taken at an exact replica of the Graceland Gates. This is all complimented by a Champagne drinks reception at the hotel, a delicious menu, wine, an evening buffet and Vegas-themed entertainment.

Padraig McGillicuddy described the Wedding Party as an opportunity to thank the couples who have booked their wedding at Ballygarry House Hotel & Spa and it provided the hotel with an opportunity to invite them to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of champagne, food and entertainment.

He expressed his sincere thanks to his staff who organised the Wedding Party and to Mark Leen, Tralee Musical Society, Celtic Rhythm, Idle Bones and JP Murphy who provided such enjoyable entertainment on the day. A percentage of the staff’s wages from the day was donated to the Kerry Hospice Foundation.
