County Fermanagh hosts three spectacular National Trust venues available for private and corporate functions. Castle Coole, on the outskirts of Enniskillen with its Regency interior decoration, furniture and furnishings, Florence Court, a fine 18th Century property enjoying a spectacular setting amongst the mountains and forests of West Fermanagh, and Crom, one of Ireland’s most important nature conservation areas on the shores of Upper Lough Erne.

To make your day last forever you can make full use of the breathtaking surroundings for your wedding photos. The formal Rose garden provides a beautiful setting to create the perfect picture, and the more informal Pleasure Grounds provide a wonderful variety of settings to capture your special day, including the stunning Summer House which overlooks the park with the magnificent slopes of Benaughlin Mountain in the backdrop.

Dowlers

Everyone wants to be able to give a wedding gift that is useful and provides a lasting memory from the guest who chose it. Your wedding gift list is your opportunity to tell your guests the type of gifts you would like to receive. It is the opportunity to furnish or decorate your home with items that you dreamed of having (a toaster that doesn’t catapult the toast across the room or a kettle that doesn’t leak).

It is also an opportunity to give your guests a guide to what you would like, but for them to have a little wedding gift creativity. I think the best gifts are the ones that are things you would not usually spend money on yourself and when someone else has treated you, it is all the more enjoyable!

• Wide range of products – from tableware to barbecues • Fermanagh’s finest cook shops
