Hopes high for Donegal businesses in Irish Wedding Awards

written by Rachel McLaughlin January 20, 2020
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint
Donegal will be very well-represented at this year’s Irish Wedding Awards, with over 40 of the county’s top suppliers in the running for coveted prizes. The fourth annual wedding awards takes place in Dublin tonight, with hundreds of top wedding specialists and establishments expected to attend in the hope of celebrating their achievements. The many professionals of the local wedding sector are what makes Ireland a great destination for couples. The Irish Wedding Awards aim to reward those within the eclectic wedding industry that make one of the most special days of our lives one to remember. Numerous‌ ‌prestigious‌ ‌accolades‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌presented‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌most‌ ‌deserving‌ ‌specialists,‌ ‌including‌ ‌Wedding‌ ‌Venue‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Year,‌ ‌Caterer‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Year,‌ ‌Photographer‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Year,‌ ‌and‌ ‌Wedding‌ ‌Coordinator‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Year‌ ‌among‌ ‌other.‌ ‌
Silver Tassie Wedding Co-ordinator Georgina Howley won the Wedding Co-ordinator of the Year 2019 award and is nominated again for 2020
Being a finalist is an honour in itself, according to Donegal photographer Declan Devlin, who is shortlisted as Creative‌ ‌Photographer‌ ‌of‌ ‌The‌ ‌Year‌. Declan‌ ‌said he is ‌“overly‌ ‌excited‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌a‌ ‌finalist‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌category,‌ ‌not‌ ‌only‌ ‌is‌ ‌it‌ ‌my‌ ‌priority‌ ‌to‌ ‌deliver‌ ‌great‌ ‌customer‌ ‌service‌ ‌but‌ ‌to‌ ‌also‌ ‌offer‌ ‌my‌ ‌customers‌ ‌something‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌different‌ ‌in‌ ‌an‌ ‌exciting‌ ‌way.‌ ‌ “I‌ ‌have‌ ‌worked‌ ‌very‌ ‌hard‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌industry‌ ‌throughout‌ ‌the‌ ‌previous‌ ‌few‌ years‌ ‌and‌ ‌I‌ ‌am‌ ‌delighted‌ ‌to‌ ‌share‌ ‌this‌ ‌occasion‌ ‌with‌ ‌other‌ ‌suppliers‌ ‌that‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌similar‌ ‌position”.‌ ‌ ‌ Declan‌ ‌is‌ ‌looking‌ ‌forward‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌busy‌ ‌year‌ ‌in‌ ‌2020‌ ‌and‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌wait‌ ‌to‌ ‌meet‌ ‌future‌ ‌couples‌ ‌ahead‌ ‌of‌ ‌2021.‌ ‌

Stevie Toye from Letterkenny said he is already seeing the benefits of being nominated as Wedding Photographer of the Year. Stevie said: “I’m absolutely chuffed to be nominated, I’ve had 10 wedding enquiries and 5 bookings in a week… I have no doubt that this nomination has really helped my business and I’ll be forever grateful.”
