About the venue
The whole day under one roof
The Waterfoot is a four-star boutique hotel beside the River Foyle on the Waterside, at the Caw Roundabout. It is about five minutes from the city centre and close to the Foyle Bridge and City of Derry Airport, and it is licensed for civil ceremonies, so the ceremony and reception can both happen here.

Filmmaker's notes
Getting the most from The Waterfoot on film
No travel gap
With the ceremony and reception in one place, there is no time lost between the two. That leaves more room for portraits and more of your guests on camera.
Ten minutes by the river
If you want the Foyle in your film, plan ten minutes outside before the meal. It is the easiest way to add a sense of place.
Speeches worth hearing
Microphones go on the speakers and the top table rather than relying on the house PA, so every word of the speeches makes it into the film.
