"A huge thanks to Mike, we had the best day of our lives and it was so great having Mike there, he made us feel totally comfortable and relaxed, he made the daunting feeling of getting married and having cameras pointing at us all day feel like there was no cameras at all and we were completely relaxed from the beginning of the day to the end. He has an amazing work ethic! "
Louise & Michael, November 2024

The Story! The romance of "meeting at the Train Station" has been a story trope since stories began, and this station is imbued with the memories of a thousand 'goodbyes' and a thousand 'welcome home's, and also one of the main Irish locations for the Quiet Man Film, in fact the only Irish location where they filmed interior and exterior shots!
