In the build up to the day:
How did you find the planning process?
The event planning team were so helpful and informative! I had a lot of questions during the planning process, but they answered them all thoroughly, no matter how small the question. The team really went above and beyond to accommodate our vision for the day. Our meetings were all really well run and we especially enjoyed our menu tasting with Suzanne, she was so knowledgeable and talked us through all the ways we could adapt the menu if we wished.
Did anyone in particular make the process easier or more enjoyable for you?
Everybody who helped us was amazing! Sophie was wonderful in the final lead up to the wedding, especially dealing with some last-minute changes, but we've also spoken to Jules, Lauren and Natasha, who were all brilliant as well.
Was there anything that we could improve on?
We weren't informed that the new room was being/had been built and had found out from another Cotswolds Hotel & Spa couple just before our final details meeting. We were happy to have extra space to use, but a blanket email to all booked couples just to inform us of the changes would have been good.
On the day itself:
What was the best part of your day?
Honestly, we can't pick a favourite moment - our day was perfect! The entire day was so well-run, we knew exactly what to expect in terms of timings and each part of the day flowed smoothly into the next. We didn't have to worry about anything and could just relax and enjoy our day. The food was delicious and generous portions, both us and our guests really enjoyed it.
Was there anyone in particular that made your day extra special?
Raj and Enver were great! We especially appreciated that they set aside some canapes for us to enjoy once we had finished all of the group photos, so we didn't miss out, and they kept checking in on us throughout the day to make sure everything was going well. It was also lovely that Sophie came to find us and say congratulations/goodbye before she finished her shift.
Was there anything that we could improve on?
I realised when we got home the next day that the decorative sugar flowers from our cake hadn't been kept/given to us. Not too big of a deal for us as we didn't really have anywhere suitable to keep them anyway, but I know many couples would have liked to have kept these.
The venue:
What made you book our venue?
As soon as we stepped into the ballroom on a wedding open day, we loved the fairy lights on the ceiling and how spacious and light the room was! We could immediately picture ourselves getting married there. The team was really friendly and welcoming too.
What was your favourite part about the venue?
The ballroom definitely stood out as it's gorgeous! The golf course is also a beautiful setting for couples photos. We also liked that there were plenty of rooms for all of our guests to stay on-site, as some other local venues didn't have this capacity.
Could you suggest an area we could improve on?
We stayed on quite a hot weekend and our block didn't have air con in the rooms. This would be a good addition in the future! In the build up to the day:
