There are so many simple tips to avoid stress and confusion to make sure your special day runs smoothly and is a day to remember for all the right reasons. Having celebrated my own wedding at Killashee Hotel five years ago, it seemed like the perfect place to host my first masterclass. In 2017 I plan to tour the country with a series of masterclasses.”
