The G Hotel

Reflections, soft window light and rooms with a character of their own. Explore The G Hotel through Michelle and Chris’s wedding photographs, with ideas for portraits, the ceremony and time with your guests.

A setting with its own character.

The G Hotel & Spa is in Wellpark, Galway city. Its wedding information highlights the Grand Salon, its reflective crystal installation and a ballroom overlooking Lough Atalia.

Michelle and Chris’s photographs show how these interiors can become part of the story. We would balance wider views of the rooms with quieter photographs by a window, so the setting has a presence without overwhelming the people in it.

A ceremony, all under one roof.

The hotel is an approved civil-ceremony venue. Ask its team which room suits your plans and how the change from ceremony to reception will work for your guest numbers.

Keeping the day in one place can simplify the photography timeline. We can be ready for the entrance, rings and first kiss, while leaving space to photograph the people watching and the walk back through the room.

Time with the people you invited.

The drinks reception is full of photographs that do not need arranging: a greeting, a conversation, a glass being raised. We can make a few portraits nearby and leave you time to enjoy those moments.

If you would like photographs elsewhere in Galway, build in the travel time rather than treating an extra location as essential. The photographs here show how much variety can come from the hotel itself.
