All this for a price which you will find pleasantly surprising in a world where value for money is not easy to find. With us there are no hidden extras.

The Civil Wedding Ceremony

In place of the Registry Office or Church, you may choose to hold your wedding ceremony at the Hotel. In these attractive and romantic settings your reception can begin immediately after the wedding ceremony. Another advantage is that your guests are saved the inconvenience of travelling and parking for the ceremony and then again to the Hotel for the Reception. Typically, the Registrar meets the Bride and Groom, attended by witnesses and guests. After the civil ceremony everyone relaxes with celebratory drinks and then goes through to the Reception. An outside venue is available at Briery Wood in the garden gazebos (weather permitting). From April to October as requested by the registrars.

Staying at the Hotels

It may be convenient for some of your guests to stay in the Hotel, particularly if they have a long journey. It is crucial that guests booking rooms for your wedding know that bedrooms will be guaranteed available from 2.00pm. Also that the latest checkout time is 11.00am. They can relax before the wedding and avoid driving home in the evening. It can also be an excellent opportunity to discover the beautiful countryside around the Hotel.

Additional Assistance

Some are uncertain about traditional etiquette for wedding receptions and responsibilities of the participants. Don’t worry, we will advise on procedure and set it all out in writing for you. We will help manage the day to ensure its smooth running. We have established links with ancillary wedding services and would be pleased to help and advise with your requests.
