CARRICK ON SHANNON’S LANDMARK HOTEL TAKES MAJOR ACCOLADE AT WEDDING AWARDS

The Landmark’s Patricia Corrigan wins WEDDING COORDINATOR OF THE YEAR 2009!

The competition for the WeddingsOnLine Wedding Awards 2009 was keen with wedding venues and wedding specialist companies alike vying for this much coveted award. Nominations were made, a shortlist drawn up and it came down to just 6 individuals from throughout the country – the elite of the industry.

On Monday evening 15th Feb, the industry gathered. All sat in hopeful expectation as the winners were announced category by category. Luckily the Landmark didn’t have to wait too long before the room erupted and Patricia Corrigan took to the stage to accept her award, presented by Jackie Lavin. The goodwill and appreciation of Patricia’s hard work and dedication was palpable with industry peers taking to their feet with applause that engulfed the ballroom. It was a very proud moment for the rest of The Landmark Team who were present.

WeddingsOnLine is Ireland’s leading on-line wedding forum. They are celebrating 10 years in business this year and in acknowledgement of this launched the nationwide hunt for Ireland’s leading Wedding Suppliers.

The process was a long and arduous one, with an independent research company brought on board to execute the voting and judging process. All on-line members (WOLLIES as they are affectionately known) were invited to nominate their favourite supplier for the various different categories. The best part of this Awards Programme is that all nominations came from Brides and Grooms – those who know best. The Wollies made their nominations and as requested, stated why they recommended the business or individual. All of these nominations where then collated and a Shortlist was drawn up for each category.

The Shortlists were issued over Christmas and The Landmark Hotel was Shortlisted for Wedding Venue of the Year and Patricia Corrigan was Shortlisted for Wedding Coordinator of the Year.

When asked, the Sales & Marketing Manager Aoife McCormack had this to say, “We are all thrilled for Patricia, her enthusiasm and dedication to each and every couple is amazing.
