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. Patricia personifies the Landmark Wedding Experience – energy, innovation, quality service, attention to detail and dependability. And of course there is a great team working alongside Patricia who mirror her passionate dedication to each Wedding Day. The Landmark has had a very busy year celebrating amazing wedding days with a lot of very special and loved up couples. We work hard to ensure that each couple loves every minute of the planning process and of course the big day itself. The whole team at The Landmark works to a ‘can do’ ethos, we love what we do and we love the fact that our couples love it too! From us all here at The Landmark we would like to thank all those who took the time to nominate the Landmark and Patricia. We are very encouraged by your support and will continue to up our game, ensuring that all future couples enjoy the same Landmark Wedding Experience.

Thanking you again,

Hi Catriona,
Thanks a million for all your help.
Everyone had a fantastic weekend! Granted it might take us the week to recover!!!

The apartments we great, prefect for what we needed, and it was great to have everything on your
doorstep!. The dinner and staff in Murtagh’s were brilliant, so so nice and everyone was raving about them!
The Burlesque dancing was definitely a highlight of the weekend – the teacher was really nice and
we had such a laugh – even made the Hen cry (in a good way!) which was deadly!!!

So all it all it was a fantastic weekend!!

thanks again

Testimonial

We travelled down to Carrick on Shannon for a hen party weekend.  Some were staying two nights and others one and the Courtyard Apartments were very facilitating and flexible with the package.  Our group was  a mixture of ages and it suited everyone down to the ground!  Apartments were fantastic and were just perfect for the weekend that was in it.  Due to weather conditions (severe flooding) we could not go ahead with the Moon River cruise, however, an alternative option of  a cocktail class was arrnaged which everyone enjoyed.  Dinner on the Saturday night was beautiful and the Murtaghs staff were as helpful as one could ask for.

I would centainly recommend the Courtyard Apartments for hen parties or even just a weekend away with friends.

Amy, 4th & 5th December 2009

Hi Catriona

The apartments were brilliant. Everyone loved them, lots of space and so central!! Only thing lacking was a sweeping brush……we could have cleaned up a little better. The meal in Murtaghs was great and the staff were brilliant and great craic! Joe and the blonde lady with the british accent were just brilliant!

My sister, the hen, was really chuffed with everything, couldn’t have been happier!

Thanks a mil for all your help!!

Hi Catriona

I thought the package that you offered was absolutely brilliant, the service provided was excellent, you were very helpful in trying to organise the hen and arranged anything that we had asked for.  I would highly recommend the package to anyone.

With regard to the Ann Summers party, we all had brilliant fun, we thought it was a great thing to have on the Friday as the girls were all travelling down at different times, and we wanted to stay in the apartment.  It was  a great way to pass some of the evening and get the craic going.

Boda Borg again was brilliant, we are part of a football team and love these sort of activities.  It was very reasonably priced and was definately worth every penny.

The meal was lovely, there was something for everyone on the menu.  Everyone complimented the food.  The staff were very friendly as well.

The salsa class was brilliant, it was a great way to cure the hangover from the night before and got the day off to a great start.  We even used some of the moves in the nightclub!

The apartments were very clean, well presented and had everything we needed.

I can speak on behalf of all of the hens when I say we would definately go again and would recommend to anyone organising a hen party.

Thanks for all your help over the last few months.

Karen, 20th & 21st November 2009

Hi

I booked two of your apartments the weekend of the 13th /14th November.

I just wanted to thank you for a great stay.  The apartments were perfect for what we needed and set us up for a great weekend.

Good luck in future, and I will certainly be recommending the place for anyone heading down that direction.

Many thanks

Ronan, 13th & 14th November 2009

Hi Catriona

It has to be said that I have absolutely no regrets with choosing this location for my hens. I had all ages down for the weekend and the whole package was catered for everyone. We were met upon arrival and brought straight to our apartments, from the second we arrived I knew it was going to be a great weekend. Murtagh’s bar was brilliant on the first night and we all really enjoyed the meal and wine. The second night we went out on the boat and we never laughed so much…Even though we picked the most miserable weekend weather wise, it didn’t matter cause we all had a ball. So well organised, really hope to have one of my friends hens here in the future cause I really want to do it all again.

Thanks to everyone involved in the weekend.

Rachael, 23rd & 24th October 2009

Hi Catriona,

I have to say it was a great success.

The apartments were super and it was so convenient to the pub/restaurant/club.

Nigel was very professional to deal with.

The dinner was great and the staff in Murtaghs were fantastic.

Everyone agreed that all in all it could not have been better.

Many thanks for your assistance and attention.

It’ll be a pleasure to recommend The Courtyard Apartments & Murtagh’s to anyone looking for a venue/accommodation.

Thanks again

Best regards

Des

PS – On your website I think you should mention more (maybe a video?) of how convenient The Apartments are to Murtaghs and the underground car park facility was great too! J
