The gala awards ceremony took place in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Rosses Point, Sligo.
“We are thrilled to receive these awards, it’s a real credit to our wonderful team”, said Jennifer Howley, General Manager. “I’m so proud of the entire wedding team. Darragh McGarry, Arthur Marques and Marcin Szczodrowski provide excellent leadership and guidance. Olivia leads the way in looking after every wedding couple in a genuinely personal way and she really deserves this accolade."
