Describe the best wedding that happened at The Falcon Hotel, Uppingham?
We have had so many great weddings at The Falcon! Last year we had a fabulous wedding with 100 guests on three long tables - lots of wine and laughter and they danced the night away! We usually do weddings on New Years Eve too, and that always has such a brilliant atmosphere. We always try to get to know our couples, and since our wedding coordinators work the full day, celebrating with the whole family is a special thing to be part of. We also had a lovely wedding with a live saxophonist in the bandstand of the Garden and with the canapés and Prosecco flowing it felt like a brilliant way to start off the celebrations.

We had a wedding where the married name was to become "Mc...." and on every name place they changed the name of the guest to Mc too - so Smith became McSmith etc. It was a nice nod to the bride and groom and made everyone seem like part of the family!
