Their story was brilliant, full of love and humour and it all started under the stars at the disused railway tracks in Glenavy!

Teenage sweethearts who, on 25th September, exchanged vows and rings, cried happy tears and became husband and wife.

With their guests playing their part in making this a wedding to remember, The Phantom House at @galgormresort played host to @alysonmclx and @dannymcb94 most special day!

From our initial meeting on the North Coast last year, I just knew this was going to be something special. The love, the excitement, the connection they had was palpable!

Alyson & Danny - Thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your day!

✨ Alyson & Danny | A Wedding Full of Love, Laughter & Unforgettable Moments ✨

Some wedding days are impossible to capture in one reel… but we’ve given it a go. 🤍

From the moment Alyson & Danny walked out of their ceremony as newlyweds and straight into a shower of confetti from their family and friends, you just knew this was going to be a day filled with love, laughter and plenty of fun.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Galgorm Resort, their day was the perfect mix of simple elegance and unforgettable entertainment.

🤍 Elegant ceremony decor in the Phantom House
✨ Beautiful reception styling in the Renaissance Suite
🕹️ Our Claw Machine Wedding Favours, with guests battling it out to win their prizes
💡 Our LED Infinity Dancefloor, which quickly became the place to be
🍸 Drinks, laughter and all those little in-between moments
🎂 And, of course, their amazing caterpillar wedding cakes! 🐛

But what we love most about this reel isn't just what we provided...

It's the atmosphere.

The smiles.
The laughter.
The confetti.
The excitement.
The dancing.
And two newlyweds surrounded by the people they love most. ❤️

This is what weddings are all about.

So turn the volume up, press play and take a little journey through Alyson & Danny's incredible wedding day with us. 🎥✨

Alyson & Danny, thank you for choosing EVENTS BY Cassidy McCleans to be part of your special day. It was an absolute pleasure to help bring your vision to life. 🧡

🎶 DO YOU REMEMBER… THE 25TH NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER? 🎶

Well… Alyson & Danny’s wedding guests definitely remember the night they went WILD for the Claw Machine! 😂🕺

These weren’t your average wedding favours… EVERYONE wanted a go! 👀

With prizes including: 🎁 £100 Galgorm Voucher 🎁 2 x £50 Vouchers 🥂 A Bottle of Prosecco

There were screams, there was laughter, there were cries of “ANOTHER GO!”… and then that moment when someone shouted…

“WE WON PROSECCO!” 😂🥂

The Claw Machine had officially taken over the wedding!

And honestly… what was NOT to love?! 😍

A wedding favour guests actually want to play for, prizes they actually want to win, and a queue that just kept getting longer!

Alyson & Danny, thank you for letting us bring the fun! 🧡

💘 C & D 💘

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that Northern Ireland actually delivered the sunshine! ☀️

Ciara and Derek were lucky enough to have their ceremony outdoors at the absolutely stunning @killeavycastle and honestly... what a setting. Nestled amongst beautiful woodland with breathtaking views, it is one of those venues that feels magical the moment you arrive. When the sun shines there, it is something really special.

Blue skies, gorgeous surroundings, and all of their favourite people gathered together to celebrate the start of their next chapter. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
Their ceremony was everything a wedding ceremony should be... full of laughter, happy tears and a love story that had everyone completely invested. Sharing their journey and seeing the reactions from their family and friends is one of the reasons I genuinely love what I do.

When you pair a heartfelt ceremony with a venue as beautiful as Killeavy Castle Estate, it creates the most incredible atmosphere. Congratulations again, Ciara and Derek. Thank you for trusting me to tell your story. It was such a privilege to stand with you both as you ‘Tied the Knot’ and became husband and wife.

Introducing Ali & Jess who got married on the sunniest day in beautiful @montaltoestate

They met online, he meet her dog Reggie and a family was made! From a walk up the North Coast to meet Reggie and a return to mark their future with a proposal, Ali & Jess quickly fell in love and started building a beautiful life together full of fun and adventure.

They had two readings presented by siblings and a wrong hand offered for the wedding ring. Lots of giggles but mostly just love.

Super team today with Ellie @chapterii.ni bring the photos and videography, the stunning @ionianstringquartet bringing all of the summer vibes, @blossomandtwine_ni with those beautiful florals, @mcbrideandgroom_ who brought Ali's family dog Lara and Jess & Ali's dog Reggie... and of course @montaltoestate ensuring all runs smoothly.

Thanks for having me!
Wishing Ali & Jess a lifetime of love & happiness ❤️

The quiet before everything begins.

The Ionian String Quartet warming up, filling the room before a single guest arrives.

An empty space.
Chairs waiting.
Your ceremony table set.
Every detail in place.

Then suddenly… it’s full.
Full of people.
Full of emotion.
Full of moments you’ll never forget.

And as you walk back down the aisle together, the music carries you into the next chapter.

This is what your ceremony feels like. 🤍🎻✨ Planning your ceremony? Let’s create something that feels like this. Enquire now via the link in my bio.
