Manor House Country Hotel, Enniskillen – 29th December

Mary & Gerald’s wedding on 29th December at the stunning Manor House Country Hotel, Enniskillen was nothing short of magical. A beautiful winter celebration filled with love, laughter, incredible entertainment, and unforgettable moments — and we at Wedding Extras were honoured to be part of their special day.

From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that every detail had been carefully thought out, and that was all down to Mary, the bride. She truly outdid herself. Everything ran seamlessly, and the atmosphere throughout the day and night was simply amazing.

A Sparkling Entrance & Picture-Perfect Moments ✨

Wedding Extras supplied our Cold Sparkler Machines for Mary & Gerald’s entrance into the room before dinner was served, and what a moment it was. As the couple entered, the sparklers lit up the room, creating a dramatic and elegant atmosphere that had guests cheering and phones in the air capturing every second. Cold sparklers always create a real wow factor, and this entrance set the tone perfectly for the celebrations that followed.

We also set up the sparklers for an outdoor photo session at the beautiful water fountain, and the results were absolutely breathtaking. With champagne being popped, sparklers firing, and the stunning Manor House backdrop, the photos captured pure celebration and joy. It honestly looked incredible — one of those moments where everything just comes together perfectly.

A massive thank you to Eamonn from Treasure Box Photography, who was the photographer on the day. There genuinely wasn’t a shot he didn’t capture. From the emotion and excitement to the fun and sparkle, every image tells the story beautifully. We really appreciate him sending on the amazing pictures — they perfectly showcase how magical the day was.

Fireworks, Hospitality & Outstanding Service 🎆

As if the sparklers weren’t enough, Mary had organised fireworks outside once the cold sparkler moments were complete — and wow. It was the perfect way to top off an already unforgettable evening, lighting up the night sky and leaving guests in awe.

The Manor House Country Hotel once again proved why it’s such a popular wedding venue. Una and the entire team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Nothing is ever a bother to them, and their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail make such a difference on a wedding day. Everything ran smoothly, and the care they show to couples and suppliers alike never goes unnoticed.

A Night Full of Music, Dancing & Craic 🎶

When it came to entertainment, Mary & Gerald’s wedding truly delivered. The band on the night was Johnny Brady, and he had the dance floor packed from the very first song. There was loads of jiving, incredible energy, and an atmosphere that kept guests dancing well into the night.

After dinner, guests were treated to entertainment from singers Secreto, who were absolutely amazing. Their performance added another layer of fun and excitement to the evening, keeping everyone entertained and adding to what was already an unforgettable celebration.

A Wedding to Remember 💍

Mary & Gerald’s wedding was a perfect example of how thoughtful planning, incredible suppliers, and a stunning venue can come together to create something truly special. We are so grateful to have been part of their day and to provide our cold sparkler machines for such memorable moments.
