A fairytale of a wedding!
We didn't need to bring much decoration. We dressed the window in the room for the ceremony and the doors were opened into the gardens.
The suite of rooms for getting ready was big enough for 6 bridesmaids and our Hairdresser. We could also meet the registrar there without the grrom getting a pee of the bride! It led out to its own private garden. The location was quiet at night. We had a mix of local friends, and family who had to travel. This meant we had an extended time with those who travelled. Dogs are welcome. A friend's dog sitter let them down so the dog came too.
After our ceremony, we had photos in the lovely grounds and a sit down meal in the dining room with our closest friends and family. We went to a Blessing at the St Mary's Eling Church. We had a live band in the evening with the lights twinkling on the pergola and sparklers.
We had a diverse set of needs that we felt the hotel accommodated. It has ramps for wheelchair users, all our diets were checked and catered for. We had several people with neurodiversities and we felt the layout with places to spread out and hide away were great.
We wanted somewhere to be able to return to for special occasions.
The wedding coordinators, Gina and Tilly, were fantastic and, with all the staff, helped us plan a fairytale of a day.
Great little venue, reasonable cost
