Tell us a little about how you met & talk us through the proposal
We've been together for 13 wonderful years since we were 16 years old; real high school sweethearts! En route to a school rugby match we ended up sitting beside each other on the bus and the rest is history. Several years later two houses, one dog, 25 countries visited and still no proposal. Eventually during our 12th year together amongst the sand dunes of Dubai with tea towels on our heads, Andrew finally found the courage to get down on one knee. What followed was many meticulous months of wedding planning by Sophie and the wonderful Donna while Andrew was bored of all things wedding talk!

Why Galgorm?
Apart from the outstanding facilities; it's the passion and confidence which the team at Galgorm instill that immediately draws you in. This energy can be felt from the moment you drive in when you first meet the friendly faces at reception, to the professional catering staff and the exceptional skills of the wedding team. Their continued commitment to deliver excellence is truly like no other. This, along with perfectly crafted (stress-free!) packages is the reason why we proudly chose Galgorm for our wedding venue. Throughout the years we have loved spending time at Galgorm together and we always knew it was going to be a strong contender when choosing our wedding venue. It truly was our 'dream wedding venue'.
Tell us the most memorable part of your day
Every couple says the day goes by too quickly and that you wish you could press pause; this statement is also true for us. While the whole day was magical and expertly coordinated by Donna and the team, what truly stands out for us was when we both seen each other for the first time that day. What then followed was truly the best day possible and had exceeded all our expectations. One thing that stood out for us was Paul's commitment after a long day to make our experience even more special by going out of his way to get the bridal party drinks and personally driving us to the resident's bar to continue our celebrations.
