James and Lauren's Wedding in Ascot, Berkshire

Our Real Wedding

We had our magical day on 26th July 2025 at McDonald Berystede hotel in Ascot.

From our very first visit and meeting with Cleo we were sold, we knew that this venue was for us.

We were made to feel so welcome and important and Cleo was always on hand to help with any questions we had and she was always very prompt at replying to my emails.

Fast forward to the big day, we stayed the night before (together) and we booked a late check out on this room so James had somewhere to get ready.

I moved into the HUGE bridal suite on the morning of the wedding and my bridesmaids and beauty team joined me so we could get ready.

Our wedding was held in the Eton room and this was perfect for us, it was larger than the library and a lovely space with fairy lights draping the ceiling.

We then were lucky the weather held out and we had reception drinks and photos outside before moving into the Windsor suite for our Wedding breakfast and evening reception
