The most fairytale-like wedding took place at Adare Manor over the weekend and we've never wanted to attend an event more.
Ally Rice and Sean Fernando celebrated their day in style at the historic Adare Manor hotel in Co. Limerick.
The two got married over the weekend, and their extravagant wedding has gone viral on social media.
Wedding planner Marcy Blum posted snippets of the gorgeous wedding on TikTok. According to Blum, the wedding was inspired by the theatre production Sleep No More.
The Manor took guests through the “History of Adare Manor”.
@marcyblum Inspired by the brilliant Sleep No More, the Manor Soiree took Ally & Sean’s guests on a special adventure through “History of Adare Manor” 🏰 Think Yee olde market, faerie gardens, and the staff went wild in the kitchen 🧑🍳#MarcyBlum #weddingplanning #weddingtiktok #weddingtok ♬ The Greatest Show - Hugh Jackman & Keala Settle & Zac Efron & Zendaya & The Greatest Showman Ensemble
The wedding had a “Yee olde market”, stunning gardens, and the staff dressed in stunning old-style clothing.
As well as choreographed dances, a live band, and an immersive experience to make this experience even more memorable.

The ceremony was breathtaking. The venue was covered with flowers in a glass dome.

According to Blum, hundreds of locals and people around the world collaborated for 18 months to create the magic of Ally and Sean’s wedding.
Day two began with a nice competition of ‘The Fernando Cup’, which, according to Blum, is “the groom’s own version of the Ryder Cup” (a golf competition that The Adare Manor will host in 2027).
@marcyblum The second day of Ally & Sean’s wedding weekend at Adare Manor started off with guest activities around Ireland. 100 guests played golf in The Fernando Cup — the groom’s own version of the Ryder Cup (Since Adare is hosting the tournament in 2027!). ⛳️ Other guests traveled to the Cliffs of Moher, on a Secrets of Ireland tour or enjoyed activities around Adare Manor like falconry, fly fishing and more! #MarcyBlum ♬ Bitter Sweet Symphony - Extended Version - The Verve
Guests who didn’t play travelled to the Cliffs of Moher for a “Secrets of Ireland tour” or joined in activities like falconry and fly fishing at Adare Manor.
Ally and Sean’s celebration also included a pub crawl led by horses and hounds, as well as a céile.
And instead of giving goodie bags to guests, Adare Manor had a “suite of Irish essentials” for guests.
@marcyblum Welcome to Ally & Sean’s gifting lounge at Adare Manor ☘️🇮🇪✨ instead of a traditional wedding welcome bag — we created a suite of Irish essentials 🫶💕✨☘️ JUST WAIT FOR WHAT’S IN STORE #marcyBlum ♬ Kingdom Dance - From "Tangled"/Score - Alan Menken
One person commented on a TikTok, “Is this a movie??”
Blum also posted about Ally and Sean's celebration on Instagram, where people commented about how stunning the wedding looked.
One person commented: “This is perfection in a room”
Another: “The most beautiful night for the most beautiful couple”
Huge congratulations to Ally and Sean on their big day.
