Frequently asked questions

If you have a question, we have the answer!

How many Weddings do you have per day?

We limit the number of Weddings to one per day as you are very important to us - we can then concentrate on making your special day just perfect.

Can we have our ceremony outside?

We are excited to be able to say that we are in the process of licensing and planning a special outdoor area for civil ceremonies. Once we have pictures and more information we will let you know so watch this space!

Do you allow outside catering?

We don’t need to! Our experienced Chefs work alongside you to develop an authentic meal. We have even used Chefs from all over the world to give us tips on making sure your Wedding breakfast is exactly as wished. The feedback from Weddings we have catered for has been fantastic and we have created menus for Indian, Italian, South African and Spanish couples in the past.

What is your minimum and maximum number?

You can have an intimate Wedding for 2 or invite up to 130 guests. For numbers over 130 we have stunning lawns that are perfect for a marquee so do not worry about cutting the guest list down.

How long does each section of the day take?

The ceremony (if required) 30 minutes
A refreshing drinks reception whilst the photographs are being taken is normally 1 hour 30 minutes
The receiving line (optional) should be about 30 minutes
A three-course Wedding breakfast with coffee and petit fours is 2 hours
Speeches are usually 30 minutes unless the Best man really gets going!
Cutting the cake takes 5 minutes which is just long enough to get the perfect picture
The evening entertainment sets-up whilst we turn the room into the evening reception and unless you have a 12 piece band we have the room ready in 45 minutes - you can then dance the night away until midnight!
After midnight any of your guests staying overnight are welcome to retire to our main hotel bar

What time can my suppliers set-up from?

The room is yours for the whole day so any of your suppliers can set-up from 7.00am.

Do you have chair covers?

We hire chair covers for you and there is a wide choice of coloured bows, these will be set up on the day so you don’t have to do anything.

Is a Toastmaster included?

Our Toastmaster has been working along side the Wedding team for a number of years so you are in very capable hands. The Toastmaster is included in the room hire price so you don’t need to worry about booking one.
