There are some wedding venues where you arrive, check the map and wonder where everything is. Then there’s The Rabbit.
By now, we’ve done so many weddings here that it genuinely feels like a home away from home. We know the team, we know the best spots for photos, we know where the light falls at every part of the day and, most importantly, we know how to help couples get the most out of one of the best wedding venues in Northern Ireland.
If you’re planning a wedding at The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat, you’re in for a brilliant day.
We’ve Been Part of The Rabbit Story
Long before many couples knew us as wedding photographers and videographers, we were working with The Galgorm Collection creating advertising videos across their venues.
In fact, if you’ve ever visited The Rabbit website, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen our work. The video at the top of the homepage is one of ours.
Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to work closely with the team, getting to know the venue inside and out. It means that when we’re there on a wedding day, it never feels like we’re arriving somewhere unfamiliar.
It feels like coming back.
Even Jemma Trusted Us With Her Wedding
One of the biggest compliments we’ve ever received was being asked to film Jemma’s wedding. If you’ve planned a wedding at The Rabbit, there’s a good chance you’ve already met her. She was one of the venue’s wedding coordinators for years and knows weddings inside out.
These days she’s also an incredible wedding celebrant, and she’s someone we recommend all the time. She’s calm, funny, genuinely cares about her couples and somehow manages to make every ceremony feel completely personal.
If you’re still looking for a celebrant, definitely have a chat with Jemma.
Why We Love Weddings at The Rabbit
One of the things that makes The Rabbit different is that it never feels overly formal. It’s stylish without feeling stuffy. Luxury without feeling intimidating.
Everything is designed for people to relax, which means your guests settle in really quickly and the atmosphere always feels brilliant. Whether it’s an outdoor drinks reception, everyone catching up on the decking or guests making the most of the spa the next morning, it feels more like a weekend away than a traditional wedding venue.
And we love that.
The Spa at Night is One of the Best Photo Spots in Northern Ireland
If you’ve seen any of our weddings at The Rabbit, you’ve probably spotted the evening portraits. Once the spa closes and the guests have headed back inside, the whole place changes. The lights reflect off the giant Disco ball, the steam rolls off the pools and everything becomes quiet for ten or fifteen minutes.
It’s honestly one of our favourite places anywhere in Northern Ireland for evening wedding photographs and wedding films. You don’t have to disappear for an hour either. Usually we’re only gone for ten minutes before sending everyone back to the party.
The Bride Who Jumped in the Pool
One wedding here will always stick in our minds. Towards the end of the night, the bride decided she wanted to finish the day in style.
So she grabbed a pair of scissors, cut the bottom off her wedding dress…
…and jumped straight into the pool with her new husband.
Completely unplanned. Completely chaotic. Completely brilliant.
Those are the moments people remember. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re so completely them.
We Know How to Make the Most of The Rabbit
After filming so many weddings here, we’ve learned all the little things that make a difference.
- The best time to sneak away for portraits without missing the drinks reception.
- The quiet corners when you want a few minutes to yourselves.
- How to use the spa after dark without keeping you away from your guests for too long.
- Where the best light is when the weather inevitably decides to do its own thing.
Those things only come with experience.
