Here at County Wedding Magazines HQ, we love nothing more than to hear from the winners of our competitions.

In the crazy world of wedding planning, it's exciting for us to be able to offer our lovely readers some exciting giveaways and competitions which will hopefully give you a much-needed pick-me-up during on the countdown to your wedding day.

In March 2023, CWM ran a competition, 'Win a minimoon in Northern Ireland!' and the winners were nearlyweds Jennifer and Christopher!

The lucky pair enjoyed a two-night stay at the striking 17th-century Ballygally Castle, staying in a Coastal Deluxe room and greeted with a bottle of prosecco and locally made cupcakes. The couple also experienced the Garden Restaurant for a lovely dinner with excellent local dishes served by the experienced chefs!

Jennifer says, "My partner and I were so lucky to win a mini-moon to Northern Ireland - it was a perfect weekend to de-stress! We arrived in Ballygally and were treated to a two-night stay in the impressive Ballygally Castle. It was situated on the seafront and we had amazing sea views from our luxurious room which was complete with robes and even our own rubber duck! The prosecco and cupcakes on arrival were such a lovely touch and made it so special.

"We were also treated to a three-course meal and breakfast every day. It was absolutely delicious! We made the most of our trip by hiring a car and driving the Causeway Coastal Route to see the famous Giant's Causeway! It was a relaxing, romantic getaway that we will never forget. We are so grateful for the memories."

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials from all here at County Wedding Magazines!
