Herbs & Roses, cupcakes and cocktails!

The perks of running a wedding website, is that occasionally you get invited to check out the hotels (and some of their fab facilities!)  Last month I took a trip down to the Carlton Hotel in Tralee, and boy was it worth the drive from Cork!

It was the launch of their Herbs & Roses Spa and the place was packed with the glamourous ladies (and a few gents!) from Tralee.  The Rose of Tralee herself even made an appearance and posed for pics with everyone (including me!)

When we arrived, we were greeted with cocktails and cupcakes, as well as great little goodie bags, packed with samples from the spa.  Claire (my date for the evening) was delighted with hers!

We got a full tour of the spa and the therapists in each room were demonstrating the treatments and talking us through which treatments would be best for different conditions.  I particularly liked the sound of the massage suited for people who do alot of driving or work on the computer!

They have also launched a Bridal Boot Camp as a new service for brides in the Tralee area, so make sure to check it out if you are looking for a boost before your big day.
