There are many advantages to choosing to have your wedding in a hotel. Firstly, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have access to expert event organisers who are used to planning all kinds of events at their hotel.
Secondly, the hotel wedding venue you choose will most likely be able to offer a vetted and recommended wedding supplier list to help you build your dream day.
Thirdly, all great hotels know that high-quality food is essential. So you’re likely to have some pretty fantastic chefs on site to help you build your wedding breakfast menu and to ensure you deliver an incredible meal to guests on the day.
And the last advantage we want to mention is accommodation… because hotels are pretty au fait with this. The tough part about choosing to have your wedding in a hotel is that there are so many to choose from, and some ‘do weddings’ better than others.
Fortunately for you, we’ve scoured the country to find the very best hotel wedding venues that the UK has to offer. We’ve started up in Scotland and headed all the way down to Cornwall to ensure we’ve not missed a single hidden gem.
