How can you have the wedding day of your dreams? 👇🏼

We are big believers that your wedding should be the day that YOU want, and not what traditions or societal pressures dictate. That’s what we did…we tailored everything from the food, the music, the beverages and even down to the formalities we wanted, all in the place that we cherished with the people we wanted to celebrate with us.
Every aspect of our wedding packages at Bunnyconnellen can be customised to encorporate what is important to you… so you don’t have to fit into the one mould. You only get one shot - why shouldn’t you do what you want?!
Mix it up, keep it different, make it you - that’s why we love doing what we do, bringing couples the day of THEIR dreams!

Excited to know more? Get in touch with us today.
