Congratulations to Kadine and Alfonso who flew in Congratulations to Kadine and Alfonso who flew in to Northern Ireland this morning to get married! Their original date, yesterday in London, was cancelled due to COVID. As soon as it was announced that ceremonies could be held here in NI, they were on the case !! Such a lovely couple, and their good friends and witnesses, we hope they enjoyed their brief visit! No frills, just champagne in paper cups! Luckily the airy extension was suitable for a socially distanced event, as the weather was typically Irish.
Our first small, socially distanced, outdoor weddi Our first small, socially distanced, outdoor wedding ceremony since the rules allowed, took place yesterday in beautiful sunshine! Thanks so much to @jervisweddingphotography for recommending us as the perfect venue, to @songbirdsings.co.uk for the wonderful music (and the groom sang his bride up the aisle, so touching), and @david.angeldoves whose white birds flying free after the ceremony was a fitting tribute to all those who couldn’t be there, for whatever reason.
We can’t wait until Saturday and our first small We can’t wait until Saturday and our first small outdoor ceremony of the new era! Don’t you love this gorgeous photo by @tjtorrens_photography from our photo shoot the week before lockdown. Breckenhill is the perfect venue with everything you need on site and loads of gorgeous locations.
Another lockdown project (No. 20 something!) is ou Another lockdown project (No. 20 something!) is our wildflower meadow - or at least two areas of what was quite rough “lawn”. It’s full of buttercups, daisies, clover and various grasses, with a few other flowers. Planning to add plugs of more meadow plants. The bed in the middle has been completely dug over and a structure for sweet peas built in the middle. (This might become a more attractive metal version one day!) We’ve had to fence it off from the hens and rabbits, but hope to be able to remove this once the plants grow up a bit. The next part is a flight of steps down from the lawn in front of the house.

Exciting news for couples who don’t want to wait Exciting news for couples who don’t want to wait to get married! Breckenhill is the perfect venue for small outdoor ceremonies, with a range of beautiful settings around the grounds, including the pond, woodland, lawns and patio. Just add a little decor - we have everything else plus a flower circle, garden arch, pop up gazebo, PA system and more. Dates available immediately.

It’s not a huge bend, but the strength is amazing! Leading from the avenue towards the pond, over our pretty stream, it’ll be a new photo location for weddings!
