My daughter had planned a Devon wedding on our farm, but covid 19 regulations meant this could not be. Then they looked into a small London wedding and contacted Browns Hotel for providing the wedding ‘breakfast’. The numbers yo-yo’d from 30 to 15, then to zero and then, miraculously back to 15, at very short notice, for the date we’d booked in early December. James Purcell and his team were fabulously supportive, coping with last minute implementation of plans, the whole place looked stunning as we were coming up to Christmas (but the hotel is a beautiful venue anyway), the bridal couple stayed overnight in a huge suite ( which we used for preparing ourselves beforehand), and Browns hotel arranged canapés and champagne for us to take on the top deck of an old double decker bus, which drove us all round town for an hour’s elongated journey from the chapel to the hotel. We were only permitted to be 15, but it was still the most joyous and memorable occasion.

Great intimate wedding venue
We had had a fantastic wedding reception at Browns Hotel.
The wedding was during the covid restrictions on wedding numbers (15) and we could not have picked a better venue. Claire and her team were wonderful - they made sure the day was stress free and at all times covid safe so we could just concentrate on enjoying the reception.
The food was amazing and the flowers by Ellie were stunning.
I would not hesitate to recommend Browns as a wedding venue.
We hope to visit again in the future!

Browns Hotel Wedding Venue - Flawless
We cannot speak more highly of Browns Hotel as a wedding reception venue. We organised our wedding reception at Browns in October 2020 - notwithstanding the stress and uncertainty of organising a wedding mid-pandemic, Browns made us feel that we were in very 'safe hands' throughout the process.
James Purcell from Browns was our main contact and he was so prompt, beyond helpful and accommodating in every way possible during the wedding planning process. All the staff at Browns were so welcoming, friendly and professional - the service was simply exemplary. All our guests spoke very highly of the quality of food and wine. We found Browns to be a full service wedding venue from flower decorations to the incredible cake that was made on site.
We have absolutely no regrets choosing Browns as our wedding reception venue and we look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with them over the coming years.

Dear Rosemary,
Thank you for your splendid review following your recent wedding held at Brown’s Hotel.
We were so pleased, despite the uncertainty of the situation, that we were able to still put on your special day!
Our personal approach is what makes Brown’s what it is today as it was when it first opened as London’s first hotel – and we were especially thrilled we were able to deliver this to you during your wedding day.
We are so fortunate to have Chef Adam Byatt and his team responsible for the delicious cuisine at Brown’s as well our talented pastry team!
Thank you again for leaving such a thoughtful review and we very much look forward to welcoming you back for your anniversaries to come!
Kindest regards,
Jamie
