No: 1 Wedding venue in the South West

We have just spent a fantastic weekend at the New Continental for our Wedding. After 2 years in the planning, Clare and the team have surpassed all expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were Happy and Helpful. The food was exceptional, our Wedding Breakfast was Superb. The Hotel is very well presented, clean, plenty of secure parking on site. My Wife and I would highly recommend The New Continental Hotel as the No: 1 Wedding venue in the South West.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

There is so many that comes to mind, here are a few of my favourites: Each table is given a disposable camera, with the challenge to take photos of the evening through their eyes. Which the bride and groom collect at the end of the evening. This provides the fun, crazy photos that your photographer may not capture! Personalised vows, poems between the couple during the ceremonies always provides a (good) tearful, magical, and beautiful moment to the ceremony!
