Wedding Day: Magical Moments at Ballynahinch Castle
On the big day, Lena and Ryan got ready separately, each enjoying the excitement of their preparations. Lena, surrounded by her bridesmaids, had the privilege of getting dressed in the castle’s stunning bridal suite, while Ryan prepared in the charming Lodge located on the castle grounds.

Lena looked absolutely breathtaking in a Vera Wang wedding dress, the perfect gown for such a romantic and luxurious setting. The couple exchanged their vows in the walled garden of Ballynahinch Castle, a picturesque and intimate location that perfectly suited their vision of a dreamy, outdoor ceremony.

The florals, arranged by The Studio Florist, were simply stunning, adding a touch of elegance to every detail. Love and Gatherings Weddings worked meticulously behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the day was flawless—from the ceremony to the reception.

Post-Ceremony Portraits and Scenic Views
After the ceremony, Lena and Ryan headed to Pine Island for a private portrait session, capturing intimate moments with the breathtaking Connemara landscape as their backdrop. The island, located just a short distance from the castle, is the ideal location for couples looking to have romantic, nature-filled wedding portraits.

The newlyweds then returned to Ballynahinch Castle, where guests were treated to drinks on the castle terrace, overlooking the beautiful river and the native Irish trees that surround the property. The atmosphere was magical as the sun began to set on what had already been an incredible day.

An Unforgettable Reception with Arthur Wedding Band
The evening entertainment was provided by Arthur Wedding Band, whose high-energy performance kept the dancefloor packed until the early hours. Their incredible tunes made sure that the party continued long into the night, ensuring that Lena and Ryan’s guests had the time of their lives.
