Brooklyne and Eoghan celebrated their wedding over three days at Gloster House, creating a weekend filled with unexpected moments and surprises for their guests. Each day had its own rhythm, with something new continually unfolding as the celebration went on.
The Welcome Party
The weekend began with a relaxed and informal welcome party: a barbecue, drinks and live Irish trad music giving everyone a chance to settle in after travelling. Then came the first surprise, when Irish dancers joined the musicians for an unexpected performance, involving everyone in ceili dancing.
With the celebration falling on the Fourth of July, cocktails adorned with tiny American flags gave a playful nod to couple’s American guests. The evening ended with everyone outside beneath a surprise fireworks display, setting the tone for what was still to come.
The Wedding Day
The wedding day began with a first look before Brooklyne and Eoghan took a drive together in their vintage car. Their ceremony was held on the lawn at Gloster House, followed by speeches and prosecco from a vintage van before guests moved inside for dinner.
Later, the celebration shifted into Gloster’s chapel for dancing, giving the evening an entirely different atmosphere as the formal part of the day gave way to the party.
The Day After
The following day began slowly with a barbecue brunch, cocktails and garden games, giving everyone time to gather again after the night before. But the weekend wasn't finished with its surprises.
A falconry display brought everyone together in the gardens, followed later by a pizza van and another night of dancing that carried on into the early hours.
