Superstition sees drop in 2013 weddings

Superstitious couples looking to avoid getting married in 2013 has resulted in a drop in wedding business this year at the hotel where Brian O’Driscoll and Amy Huberman tied the knot three years ago.

Yesterday, the five-star Lough Rynn Castle hotel in Co Leitrim confirmed that the business returned to profit last year to record a profit of €89,236 after two years of losses.

Lough Rynn and its sister hotel, Kilronan Castle last year played host to 220 weddings and hotel director with the Hanly Castle Hotel Group, Clement Gaffney said that the tremendous exposure realised from the Brian and Amy 2010 wedding for Lough Rynn “brought the hotel to a whole new level in terms of exposure and has been a significant contribution to the overall performance of the hotels”.
