When we were in Ireland last October we viewed a lot of places in the area and the <a title=\"Glenview\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/venues\/glenview-hotel-leisure-club-delgany-wicklow-4star-76811\/\">Glenview<\/a> was the last appointment on our list. When we entered the drive of the hotel surrounded by trees and then saw the view from the hotel, Dan was especially taken aback. As soon as we entered the hotel we were made feel at home and shown around. The view, the landscape gardens and the staff really make that venue feel special.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17917\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0531-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Did you have any particular theme?<\/h2>\n<p>We had nothing in particular other than the colour purple which were shown through the bridesmaid dresses , groomsmen cravats and waistcoats and the bows on the seats. Our theme was very much showing off Ireland to our guests, especially the overseas guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17918\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0497-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What made the Glenview Hotel stand out from other venues?<\/h2>\n<p>The hotel has that \u2018old Irish\u2019 feel to it. It\u2019s a beautiful hotel which is well maintained inside and out. The rooms are big and comfortable and the staff all enjoy working there. It is the only venue we had ever been too where the manager was standing greeting his guests. Every time we paid a visit we didn\u2019t want to leave! The gardens and view took our breath away and we were lucky to make use of them on the day.<br \/>\nMy mother also told me that on trips up from Wexford to home that I used to admire the hotel on the side of the mountain and say that I wanted to get married there!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17919\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0541-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Tell us about the wedding dress!<\/h2>\n<p>My wedding dress came from a designer here in the UK called Fabulous Brides by Layla. It was an A-Line classical and soft satin style dress. It was strapless with elegant lace on the bust and a light scattering of pearls and diamantes. As soon as I tried the dress on, I fell in love with it. My dress was so important that I even bought it its own seat on the plane on the way to Ireland!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17920\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0469-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What was your favourite moment of the whole day?<\/h2>\n<p>Alessandra: It really is so hard to pick a favourite moment as the day was all so amazing! Walking down the aisle was so emotional and would be up there with a favourite. But I think it was when my husband, Daniel, did his speech. It was such an unexpected heartfelt speech that I cried and laughed so many times.<br \/>\nDaniel: My beautiful wife walking down the aisle towards me!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17921\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0547-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How long were you planning your wedding? Did you enjoy the build up to the big day?<\/h2>\n<p>We booked the wedding end of October 2012 so around 10 months. The buildup was great and I didn\u2019t feel stressed as my parents in Ireland were amazing at helping us plan. We were both so busy with work that having their help made it so much easier! Also Damien, at the hotel, was always on hand on emails and was such a pleasure to deal with. The week leading up to the wedding was fun and enjoyable and made it all seem real!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17922\" title=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/08\/photograph-0571-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Alessandra and Daniel's Elegant Real Wedding at The Glenview Hotel \" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Did you have a first dance song?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes we danced to The Eagles song \u2018Love will keep us alive\u2019 which was sung by a band from Arklow called The Groove.
