About the venue
Big rooms, river views
The Everglades is a four-star Hastings hotel on Prehen Road, about five minutes from the city centre, on the banks of the Foyle looking towards the Donegal hills. Its Grand Ballroom is one of the largest in the North West, and smaller suites suit more intimate weddings.

Filmmaker's notes
Getting the most from the Everglades on film
Big room, big speeches
Good audio matters most in a room this size, so microphones go on the speakers and the top table rather than relying on the house PA alone.
The view to Donegal
The river and the hills beyond make a natural backdrop. A few minutes outside in the evening light is worth planning into the day.
A busy room, filmed quietly
With a big guest list there is a lot going on. Calm, unobtrusive filming means the moments that matter are caught without anyone feeling watched.
