such a beautiful hotel with beautiful staff

From the moment we stepped in to the clanard court hotel we fell in love. We met Emma and just knew we were going to get married here, we went home cancelled all our booked viewings for other hotels and booked with Emma immediately. Throughout our planning Emma was absolutely amazing, always checking in with us and anything we ran by her was no problem. The clanard court hotel is such a beautiful hotel with beautiful staff throughout the hotel to accompany it,so friendly and welcoming.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ditch Anything that Doesn't Resonate With You Like any kind of party, weddings tend to follow a formula, and, impersonal as it may sound, that formula will be extremely helpful during the planning process. That said, there's no point in including a hand-fasting ritual because all your friends had one, or giving a speech when you despise public speaking. If you feel strongly that you want to ditch the bridesmaids dresses, the photo booth, the bouquet toss and the colour white, do so! Nobody will be disappointed that your day is unconventional. In fact, they'll enjoy the wedding even more because it feels authentic to you and your partner. Elements that hugely affect your guests' experience should be approached with caution, however. You can be as creative as you like with the food offering, for example, but it's still important that everyone will have enough to eat!
