Our dedicated wedding coordinators will help you throughout the whole process, from the initial ideas and planning to the special day itself. Whatever ideas you have, we can help turn those into reality.
Our impressive Corinthian Ballroom, complete with a private bar, is stylishly decorated and accented by unique mood lighting to help create the perfect wedding venue. Our Ballroom can host up to 250 guests and benefits from large floor to ceiling windows with sweeping panoramas of the River Foyle to one side and Derry’s neo-Gothic Guildhall to the other - a truly wonderful backdrop to your wedding.
