Tips for Planning a Small Hotel Wedding in South West England
From Cornwall to Devon, right to the edge of the Cotswolds, South West England is an enchanting destination where any style can find its mark. Composed of eight stunning locations—each distinctive and magical in its own right—there is no end to the lavish hotels that pepper this diverse landscape. Here and there, you can discover age-old country clubs and refined harbour hotels, elegant tree-houses, and historic Georgian properties. No matter which setting calls to you, here are some tried and true tips to getting the most from your small hotel wedding venue.
Look Beyond the Function Rooms
Finding the perfect sized ballroom to fit your style and wedding size is essential, but there is far more to your day than the reception. From the arrival to the wedding photography, there are so many elements to the big day that it is worth exploring every area of the property—and that's before you even consider the accommodation. The viewing is the perfect time to see the additional options available to you, inside and out. Perhaps there may even be some unique nooks and crannies you might want to incorporate for breakout areas or even as backdrops.
Explore All Options for Vendors
From
décor suppliers to
bands and DJs , South West England has a wonderful mix of
wedding vendors befitting every theme. Hotel venues that regularly host weddings may have a preferred selection of suppliers and partners that know their interiors well. These are a great asset for you, taking a lot of the stress out of the day. However, you may have a specific florist or event designer you are keen to use. Double-check with the event manager the protocol for hiring outside professionals as some may require an additional fee or a vetting process.
