Location for wedding pix

32finn

Hey everyone,

My bro is getting married in june with the ceromony in Clane, Co, Kildare and the reception at the Mullingar Park Hotel.
He was going the have the pix taken in the Belvedere house but, they have been in touch to say that there is some concert on there that weekend so they cant facilitate them.
Does anyone know of anywhere else along the route from Clane to Mullingar or close by that would be good for wedding pix.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Carton isnt a Public Park, and I think that if people started abusing the privileges afforded people there that all 'togs might be curtailed...

Why not call Carton or a hotel along the way and see if they would allow you to use the grounds? I have done pictures in a different hotel to the reception before with permission. Most likely they wont mind as long as they dont have a wedding on that day.

I havent been to Belvedere yet but am due to do a wedding there this August, I hear its lovely, shame you cant use it.

Nor is Belvedere! We are not lucking too just turn up unanounced and start taking over the place, so there would be no abuse of privileges:rolleyes:
Permission will be sought!

Jeez relax. I was only making a suggestion. I'm sure the permission will be sought and the OP will not just be showing up un-invited

Will defo give them a buzz and see if its available.
Belvedere is very nice, and you will get some very interesting and different shots. the only prob they seem too have is they have more than one wedding party turn up at the same time on occasions. But there is plenty of room so its not the end of the world. You will defo enjoy it.

Sure that wouldn't be a problem at all, hope you get sorted!

Not sure if the Johnstown House Hotel would be of interest?

Another could be this one in the Moyvalley Golf Club.

Cheers for that deadtiger

Oh never thought of Moyvalley, lovely location for shots, I covered an event there once and it was stunning I have to say. Then if they have a wedding it would be in the hotel so you wouldnt be interfereing.
