Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson has tied the knot with DJ Denis Sulta, whose real name is Hector Barbour, in a wedding that embraced both Irish and Scottish heritage. The three-day celebration took place at Dromquinna Manor in Ireland, with 160 guests in attendance, including Jackson’s former Derry Girls co-star Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, who served as a bridesmaid. Details of the event were shared in a British Vogue interview published August 15, 2025.
Jackson, 31, described her wedding look as a “Celtic warrior princess.” She walked down the aisle in a bespoke gown from Annie’s Ibiza, inspired in part by a design once worn by Zendaya. While both dresses featured an ivory corset, Jackson’s gown included puff sleeves and a reversible tartan side to honor her husband’s Scottish roots.
Barbour, 32, wore a Hebridean MacKenzie tartan kilt paired with a Montrose doublet jacket. His outfit was completed with a family brooch and his father’s sporran, adding sentimental value to the traditional ensemble.
Following their vows, the newlyweds hosted a lively reception filled with personal and playful touches. Guests enjoyed pints of Guinness decorated with foam photos of the couple, while Jackson’s father surprised everyone in a Darth Vader costume—referencing Barbour’s birth certificate, which amusingly lists him as a Jedi. A singer also appeared dressed as Elphaba from Wicked to perform “Defying Gravity,” Barbour’s favorite song.
Later in the evening, Jackson revealed a surprise by flipping her corset to display its hidden tartan design before joining guests on the dance floor. Reflecting on the celebration, she said: “Everybody said that the whole weekend was like something from a movie, and it really was. I want to do it again.”
