Your Wedding

Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life. We like to pride ourselves on really making the difference on the day with our dedicated team to help you plan every last detail.

Whether you would like a small intimate gathering or a more lavish celebration, we can help you plan your own unique, tailor-made arrangement. For the Wedding Banquet, we’ll help you to choose from a selection of menu options prepared by our Head Chef with the choice of either a buffet or a more formal dinner.

Use our expertise in helping you plan your Champagne and wines, beautiful fresh flowers, hand made chocolates or small thoughtful gifts for your guests in our 12 individually styled bedrooms. Costs might determine your options, but we can also help you plan for other smaller functions such as a canapé drinks reception, a brunch, an afternoon tea, or full buffet dinner the night before.

We can help you and your guests relax both before and after the big day, by offering a luxurious range of aromatherapy, holistic massages and body treatments or just some welcome time out relaxing in our Finnish sauna.

We can help you decide whether you would like separate locations for the ceremony and reception and we can offer you full exclusivity for the hotel and restaurant as well as arranging for your marriage to be consecrated on our own private premises.

As well as guaranteeing you the perfect backdrop and experienced team to help ensure your day is perfect, we can also help you set a realistic budget to your plans with ideas and suggestions to help ensure you make the most of our wonderful venue.
