The Celebration
We're keeping things simple by having everything under one roof.

We'll be seated around 4.30pm, for toasts, good food and lots of dancing!
After almost giving up on modern dating Emily was about to hang up her hinge profile - after a pep talk from a friend, she decided to give it one more chance.
History had taught her one thing: she didnt want to date anyone younger than her again. With that in mind, her hinge profile was carefully tailored to ensure this wouldn't happen. Luckily for Matt, he made the cut just by a day.
Both on nights out, bevvies in hand they matched and messaged. Matt, bravely phoned Emily, proclaiming that if you can't have a conversation on the phone "you're a bit of a weirdo". Emily's sister, on the other hand, told her this was an ick.
The pair continued to talk everyday, planning their second date,
before they'd even been on their first.
Before committing to a two-hour show in the west end for their second date, Matt and Emily needed to work out if they'd be able to tolerate in each other in real life for this long, so off to the Pub they went.
With a drink in one hand and a deck of cards in the other, the two got absolutely annihilated. Matt was determined and won himself a kiss.
What happened next? Well, as you're probably aware, Emily and Matt have their lives planned months in advance, so the pair became passing ships, with hen do's, holidays, visits here there and everywhere until Emily was off to Ireland for 6 weeks.
Matt made his intentions clear, jumping on a flight to Ireland to spend time with her, even if he did end up getting horrendously ill and hosptialised but he'd say it was worth it.
They've been pretty much inseparable ever since.

TRAVEL PLANS FOR OUR GUESTS
ARRIVING BY AIR
The nearest airport is City of Derry Airport, however please be aware this does airport has limited flights.
If Derry isn't suitable, the next airport available it is Belfast international. This is located in Antrim and is an hour away from Derry.
Belfast City Airport is also an option. If you fly into this airport, we recommend hiring a car as it's over an hour away from Derry, with no direct travel connections via Bus or train.
City Walls
Take a stroll along Derry’s iconic 400-year-old walls for panoramic views of the city and River Foyle. It’s the perfect mix of history, fresh air, and “this is actually class” scenery.
Bogside Murals & Museum of Free Derry
Step into the story of Derry through powerful street art and a museum that brings the city’s past to life. It’s moving, thought-provoking, and something you won’t forget in a hurry.
Pubs & Live Music
Derry knows how to do a night out. Expect cosy pubs, great pints, and live music that makes it very easy to say “just one more” all night long.
Craft Village
A colourful little corner of the city filled with independent shops and cosy cafés. Perfect for a wander, a coffee, and picking up something a bit different.

THINGS TO SEE
North Coast
Giant’s Causeway
Step onto one of Northern Ireland’s most famous natural wonders, where thousands of hexagonal stones stretch into the sea. Whether you believe the science or the legend of Finn McCool, it’s one of those places that actually lives up to the hype.
.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Not for the faint-hearted. This swaying rope bridge links the mainland to a tiny island, with incredible coastal views (if you’re brave enough to look up while crossing).
Belfast
Titanic Belfast
An immersive experience built on the very site where the Titanic was constructed. It’s interactive, surprisingly emotional, and one of those attractions that’s genuinely worth the time.
St George’s Market
A lively indoor market packed with local food, crafts, and live music. Perfect for a wander, a coffee, and convincing yourself you “just came for a look.”
Cathedral Quarter
The cultural heart of Belfast, known for its cobbled streets, street art, and buzzing nightlife. Ideal for food, drinks, and a proper night out.
Botanic Gardens
A relaxed green space in the city, home to the iconic Palm House. Great for a slow wander or a reset between everything else.
Ulster Museum
A bit of everything under one roof—art, history, and science—with plenty to dip in and out of. An easy add-on if you’re already near Botanic.
