Arrive in Style with Glendale Limousines
In the world of weddings, where every detail matters, transportation plays a surprisingly pivotal role. For couples dreaming of a grand entrance or a stylish getaway, the wedding limousine is part of the experience. One business that has mastered this art is Glendale Limousines, based in Omagh.
Founded over 35 years ago by entrepreneur and car enthusiast Nigel McCullagh, Glendale Limousines began with a single limousine and a mission to offer couples a blend of sophistication, comfort, and reliability on their big day.
Glendale are proud to have earned a long-standing reputation in the sector for providing a quality, professional and reliable service. Their reputation is of course key to their continued success and in developing their business over almost four decades. At Glendale Limousines they believe that a good reputation is best served by positive word-of-mouth, aptly demonstrated by having often provided wedding transport for couples and then again for their children a generation later.
In addition to classic vintage and modern luxury saloons, not least a Bentley Mulsanne, recently added to the fleet, Glendale now offer the largest fleet of stretch limousines available in Ireland. Although they also provide executive travel and luxury tours across Ireland, the services they provide to their celebrating couples remain at the centre of their operations.
While Glendale’s customer-driven service has been credited over the years with multiple industry awards, of far greater importance has been the loyal customer base this has grown. They understand that as theirr couples begin their drive into married life, they want the kind of service that makes them feel special. At Glendale Limousines they aim to ensure your wedding transport complements your day seamlessly and simply that clients and their guests are impressed by their service.

A Catch Up With 2024 Prize Winners Jamie & Courtney
Jamie and Courtney are continuing to celebrate as the proud winners of the Win A £30,000 Wedding competition at the Wedding Journal Show in October 2024. We caught up with the couple as they began their wedding planning journey, guided by our fantastic prize partners.
Currently at the halfway mark before their big day in June 2026, Jamie and Courtney have already made impressive progress, especially considering they welcomed their second child, daughter Charlotte, just five months ago. Here’s a glimpse into their exciting wedding preparations.
Courtney shared, ‘I’ve picked my dress and am due to collect it in October.’ Remarkably, just seven weeks after giving birth, she booked an appointment at Orchid Bridal Studio, tried on a stunning selection of dresses, and we can’t wait to see which one she’ll wear — Neil from Orchid told us it’s absolutely gorgeous on her!
In addition, Courtney is scheduled to begin skin treatments at Thérapie Clinic in Belfast this September. She’s planning to glow on her wedding day, starting with a hydrofacial, and we hope to catch up with her during her treatment to learn more about how it’s helping her prepare.
Jamie is also busy with his own plans, heading to Freddie Hatchet in January to select his wedding suit — and he’s especially excited because they have a bar in-store! The couple also plans to visit McWhirters in Newry to pick out their wedding rings around that time.
Their wedding vision is coming together beautifully, thanks to collaborations with Fairytales Weddings & Events. The prize package has helped them secure their décor, DJ, and floral arrangements. Courtney mentioned, ‘I didn’t realise those were included in the package – it’s saved us quite a bit on entertainment and flowers.’ She also praised Fairytales’ use of faux floral arrangements for bouquets, buttonholes, and corsages, which is a great eco-friendly option.
To capture their special day, Aidan from Tait Young Wedding Photography & Film has been in touch. They’re planning to incorporate drone footage and a 360-degree camera in their reception to make their wedding memories even more special. They’re also considering adding cold sparks machines for a spectacular effect.
Here’s a quick recap of the 2024 prize partners that are helping Jamie and Courtney bring their dream wedding to life:
