The day went so well- all of our guests loved it!
Okay, the weather helped but the day went so well anyway. The team just nailed it from the start, the space was already beautifully done up when we arrived to dress it up for our day. Thanks to all at the Old Church Centre.

PERFECT SETTING FOR OUR WEDDING
when I was younger I used to walk down the lane to the beach passing this picturesque building. The character and situation of this idyllic church near the beach in Cushendun in my eyes was perfect. So when I was asked to get married my first response apart from "Yes" was I want to get married in this church. After booking the church we were able to organise everything in it the way we wanted from the layout, music, and flowers etc. This place made myself, my husband and all our guests feel that we were the only people in the world and the photographer got some fantastic memories of the day at the church and the beach.

Unique secluded wedding venue
We had an amazing day at the old church, the team there were very supportive and let me use the venue as I wished and were flexible anough to have the day I wanted. I was also able to include my dog in the wedding, she was very excited to be there! The location is stunning and just a 2min walk away from the beautiful beach were we had some of our photos taken! Would absolutely recommend this sweet little venue!
