What are the disadvantages of the Canal Court Hotel for a wedding?
While being able to host multiple weddings a day is great for availability, this does also come along with some disadvantages. Some couples prefer not to share their venue with another couple. You may well on the day run into the other wedding party and there guests, which for some couples can be an issue as they feel it dilutes the importance of their own wedding day.
Being a city centre hotel other than the staircase in the hotel there is little to no areas that are great for wedding photography, which means having to travel elsewhere.
Parking is a huge issue here which can frustrate both guests and vendors. The hotel can reserve a few parking spaces for you but often people ignore the reservation signs and this is not policed by the staff.
The location of the Canal Court Hotel may pose logistical challenges for guests, especially those traveling from outside of Newry.
Wedding photography at the Canal Court Hotel
As we have already mentioned photography locations at this venue are very limited with no grounds to speak of at all. There is the canal that runs alongside the hotel but it is a busy area with very few photo opportunities. The staircase inside the hotel can be used for a handfull of photographs but realistically if you are getting married here or even just having your wedding reception here you will need to go somewhere else for your wedding photographs.
