From day one, Maggie highlighted the importance of her husband-to-be Denis, and their fab little son, named after his father; I have such fond memories of this family.
Maggie was a bag of nerves on the morning of her wedding and on a couple occasions I tried to reassure her that her meticulous planning would stand to her. Also soothing the nerves was her brilliant artist from Killarney, Kathryn O’Neill. Not only did the make-up look great when Maggie paraded down the long aisle of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney toward Denis but it looked just as good when we were saying goodbye to her later that night on a packed dance floor!
I will also never forget this wedding because Fr. MacNamara – who performed a memorable and entertaining service – passed on his flu to me which took all of 10 weeks to shake off.
The reception was held at Ballygarry House Hotel which sets a benchmark for all other hotels in Kerry and beyond to follow. Few are equal to the warm welcome and first class service that the General Manager, Padraig McGillicuddy, and all his staff extend to their guests. They are renowned for great food and no small detail is ever overlooked. In fact, I always leave this hotel feeling inspired to shape my own business in their image and I think that’s the highest praise I can pay any hotel.
We also got to work alongside Martin Cleary for the day and it is always a pleasure to share a wedding day with a professional photographer with a work ethic like Martin’s. Hugely popular with couples from Tralee and throughout Kerry, Cleary’s offer a relaxed style of wedding photography and some great packages.
Maggie & Denis & The London Brady Bunch: We loved being a part of your wedding day and thanks for having us!!!
