One of the most memorable moments of any wedding day comes when words are spoken from the heart. Whether it’s the promises you share during your vows, or the laughter (and happy tears) brought on by a father-of-the-bride or best man’s speech, these are the moments that linger with guests long after the last song has played. Our managers often report back on the incredible speeches they have heard at weddings at Larchfield Estate - making memories and bringing the odd tear to the eye!

Just over a year ago Sarah Mackie, one of the owners of family run Larchfield Estate sat next to the amazing Dave Linton of Madlug at a LCCC Business Event. Blown away by the phenomenal work that the team at Madlug do, Larchfield Estate immediately went into partnership with Madlug, ordering bags that could be given to couples as a wedding gift. Now that a sister company Think Storage has been launched (www.think-storage.co.uk) Gavin and Sarah further support Madlug with free self-storage units for stock of bags. This weeks Guest Blog is written by Dave Linton, CEO and Founder of Madlug.

There’s a quiet joy in deciding to get married sooner rather than later. For some couples, it’s about celebrating with a loved one whose health is uncertain. For others, it’s the simple realisation of why wait? We’ve recently noticed a number of people reaching out to wedding blogs and forums across Northern Ireland asking the same question: “Can I still plan a beautiful wedding in a matter of weeks or months?” The answer, at Larchfield Estate, is wholeheartedly yes. We’ve helped couples plan their weddings quickly without ever feeling rushed, from those with just a few weeks or months to prepare to others working to even shorter timelines. And time and time again, the result is the same—joyful, meaningful celebrations filled with love, surrounded by nature, and supported by a team who genuinely cares.
