WE WON!!!

I attended the WeddingsOnline.ie Awards, Ireland’s Top 100 Wedding Suppliers, last night and I am thrilled to tell you that Farrell & Chase won the award for Best Wedding Supplier Website!

This award really means allot to me as I designed the website myself, it has been a long process and of course the website is always evolving. I have to say a big thank you to Loughlin and Ian from Choice Cuts for all their advice and help on usability and technical matters.

We arrived at the Crowne Plaza Santry yesterday evening and enjoyed canapes and Champagne at the bar with a string quartet playing in the background. It was great to meet so many of the WOL suppliers and put faces to names. We were then called into the really beautiful banqueting room for dinner. We enjoyed a three course meal followed by a very inspiring speech from Bill Cullen and then, the awards began.

We were seated at a table with Jill FitzGerald, from Cake Toppers Ireland, and the  Trim Castle Hotel. Congratulations to Trim Castle Hotel who were shortlisted for Wedding Venue of the Year - Hotel (Leinster). And a big congratulations to Cake Toppers Ireland who won Best Wedding Industry Newcomer. An amazing award to win.

I was congratulating Jill for her award when I was announced as the winner (Best Wedding Supplier Website), I really couldn’t believe it. My heart was pounding and I just kept thinking, please don’t trip (high shoes) while I was walking up to accept the award. Needless to say we finished up the night with a few celebratory drinks!

Thank you to everyone at Weddings Online for a great night and of course a big thank you to all our past and present Bride and Grooms.

I will get some pics up as soon as I get them.
