Describe the best wedding that happened at Four Seasons Hotel & Leisure Club?
Every wedding we host is unique and unforgettable in its own way, but one that truly stands out was a recent summer celebration that perfectly embodied elegance, joy, and heartfelt moments. This couple’s vision included a blend of timeless sophistication with personal touches that highlighted their story, and it was a joy to bring it all together.
The day began with a serene, intimate ceremony in our garden, beautifully decorated with fresh blooms and a soft floral arch. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a live harpist setting a romantic tone. Guests enjoyed cocktails in the Limewood Suite, taking in the plush and luxurious surroundings, before moving into the Seasons Suite ballroom, which was transformed with opulent draping candlelight, stunning floral arrangements, and an atmosphere of pure magic.
Dinner was a feast of personalised dishes that reflected the couple’s favourite flavours, and every course was prepared by our chefs with meticulous attention to detail. The couple included a dessert station that allowed guests to sample treats from their favourite places, adding another warm, personal touch. Later in the evening, we helped coordinate a surprise performance from the groom’s favourite local band, creating an electric energy that kept everyone dancing well into the night.
The most memorable part? The couple’s commitment to making every guest feel included. They provided thoughtful, custom touches for each attendee and even organised childcare so that friends and family could fully enjoy the day. Our team was there every step of the way, ensuring the couple’s vision came to life smoothly, and it was a true honour to witness the love and joy shared by all.
From start to finish, this wedding highlighted what we aim to achieve with every couple: A seamless, joyful, and personalized experience that reflects the couple’s unique style and story.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Our top tip is to prioritise what matters most to you as a couple, and let those elements guide your planning decisions. It’s easy to get swept up in trends and suggestions from others, but focusing on what’s truly meaningful to you - Whether that’s a specific atmosphere, food, or guest experience - Will make your day feel authentic and memorable.
We’re here to support you every step of the way, and our team’s commitment is to ensure that each detail reflects your vision. From initial planning to the last song of the night, we work closely with you, answering questions, suggesting solutions, and helping turn your unique vision into reality. This partnership allows us to take the pressure off you, so you can enjoy the process and truly celebrate with your loved ones.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of our favourite personal touches was when a couple created handwritten notes for each guest, sharing a personal memory or message of appreciation. These notes were placed at each seat, and as guests sat down for the meal, they had a heartfelt reminder of the couple’s love and gratitude for their presence.
It’s this kind of meaningful detail that elevates the atmosphere and makes guests feel truly valued. We love helping couples find ways to add these personal touches, whether through custom décor, unique menus, or special moments like this one. We work closely with you to incorporate elements that make your celebration deeply personal and unforgettable.
