Describe the best wedding that happened at The Bear Hotel?
Its almost impossible to pinpoint an individual Wedding as each Wedding is just as special to the next however
My personal favourite Weddings are those that are a little outside the box.
Seeing how some of our couples are so creative with ideas whether that be themes &/or props they always stay in the forefront of my mind.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
To enjoy every moment, because it will go so fast! I would also say to choose everything on the day for you, as a couple and make it reflect who you are and what represents you. I would also say stick strong when it comes to outside advice from friends & family on all aspects (including the guest list!). Its YOUR day and it should be all about you!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I absolutely love a little personal touch and my favourite so far this year (2022) is an acrylic sign of the couples surname that was hanging from a moongate arch so beautifully decorated behind the top table! The couple were then able to take this acrylic sign home to put on their wall!

Where’s the best photo spot at The Bear Hotel?
I feel like a photo captured on the high Street or on the zebra crossing with the bridal party is certainly a firm favourite from our couples it is so out of the ordinary from the “staged” photo shots.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Bear Hotel?
A co-ordinator never tells!
What’s your favourite canapé?
It has to be Mini Sausages with a honey & mustard glaze (so delicious!)
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Bacon Rolls at midnight have been a well known midnight treat post wedding!
What is The Bear Hotel most unique feature?
The Bear really has so many unique features due to the age and history of the building. Our cellars restaurant is very unique and such a beautiful room to dine in! I would also say our private courtyard attached to our St Quentin’s suite is a unique addition to the room, its almost so peaceful & private. Situated on a high street that is extremely unique!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our Team, Team Bear is certainly a family & I think we are all proud to work together to help create such timeless memories for our couples.
