Ludmila & Dean tied the knot in Galgorm Resort’s romantic Phantom House and held their celebrations in the Renaissance Suite.

Ludi & Dean first met through work on 5 April 2014, a date that would later come full circle when they married exactly twelve years later. After a chance encounter on a night out and a tongue-in-cheek comment from Dean broke the ice, the pair never stopped talking, with their first date following soon after. Years later, after welcoming their sons, Dean proposed during a family holiday in one of their favourite places, Albufeira. What Ludi thought was a quick walk to buy crisps for Dean’s mum turned into an unforgettable moment when, in June 2022, Dean stopped to ask her to marry him and, after an emotional pause, the answer was a very certain yes.

Why Galgorm?

We chose Galgorm as our wedding venue because it holds a very special place in our hearts. It was actually the first place we ever spent a night away together, so it has always meant a lot to us. In addition to that, we’ve attended weddings at Galgorm before and they were absolutely amazing, from the stunning setting to the incredible food. We knew we wanted a venue that offered that same special experience for our own wedding day.

The most memorable part of your day?

The most memorable part of our day was being surrounded by the people who truly hold a special place in our hearts. We didn’t want guests just to fill a room; we wanted to celebrate with people who genuinely mean something to us and that’s exactly what we had. On top of that, having our boys play such an important role made the day even more special, from taking part in the handfasting ceremony to helping with the countdown for the cake cutting.
