Some nervous brides are worrying that they will have to downscale their wedding, make do with a ‘budget wedding’ or worse still, postpone their big day for another few years. Well, do not despair; you can still have the fairytale wedding of your dreams at the four star Hillgrove Hotel, Leisure & Spa in Monaghan. The Hillgrove Hotel believe that they have everything covered for every wedding and now they even have the recession covered too! Due to the economic downturn, the Hillgrove Hotel is introducing their “Concession Wedding Package”. They say, “Forget the Recession – Opt for Concession”.

Due to the recession, Brides & Grooms are taking a little longer to make decisions, maybe hesitating, maybe cutting back on some of the big things they would have loved for their big day. So the Hillgrove Hotel came up with a plan to ensure that you can still have the wedding day of your dreams. They are now providing a tailored package for 2009 & 2010 weddings, specifically priced which can be worked into nearly everyone’s wedding budget. There are no hidden charges or gimmicks. And they promise there will be absolutely no ‘corner cutting’ by the Hotel. Your wedding will still have the same high quality delicious food, friendly and efficient service, stunning venue and the same excellent attention to detail, that has made the Hillgrove Hotel one of the leading wedding venues in Ulster over the last number of years. The hotel is cutting their own profits so that their customers can still have the ‘Celtic Tiger’ wedding of their dreams.

The ‘Concession Package’ is amazingly priced and fully inclusive. There are no hidden extras or charges, so you can budget your wedding with confidence. The only people who will know the price of your wedding will be you and the Hotel Wedding Co-ordinator - your guests will never know the difference! The “Concession Package” can cater for larger numbers too, just divide the price by 100 and multiply it by the number you are hoping for, to get your exact figure. Smaller, more intimate weddings can be priced for on request. The Hillgrove are also offering discounts of up to 10% off all wedding food and free bubbly receptions on selected 2009 & 2010 dates (this offer is a separate offer to the “concession offer” and only one offer can be used at one time.

The Hillgrove Hotel has hosted thousands of weddings over the last few decades and are experts in making ‘Dreams of Wonderful Wedding Days Come True”. So trust the experts to dispel your financial worries and you just relax and enjoy your big day with your family and friends (with this package, you can still afford to invite Auntie Mabel and your 23 cousins!!).

The Hillgrove also specialise in Civil Ceremonies and Blessings and have dedicated Ceremony Suites on site. After your ceremony, you can retire to one of their banqueting suites, where they can cater for numbers from 10 to 900 (Prices on request).

Situated one hour from Dublin and one hour from Belfast, the Hillgrove Hotel is easily accessible to many counties. With the elegant St Macartan’s Cathedral right next door, it is the perfect location for your wedding day.
