Your wedding drinks should be as personal as your vows. The Merry Mare specializes in creating bespoke menus that match your tastes perfectly. Their offerings include:
Choosing The Merry Mare means partnering with one of Northern Ireland’s top wedding caterers. Their dedication to quality and memorable experiences has earned them prestigious awards, including "Best Drinks Caterer 2024" and "Best Caterer 2025" at the NI Wedding Awards. From planning to cleanup, they handle every detail—professional staff, glassware, setup—so you can relax and enjoy your special day.
It will be our very own wedding this August in Belle Isle Castle, Fermanagh. The Merry Mare was created because we could not find anyone in NI with the credentials, offering and service we wanted.
