Describe the best wedding that happened at The New House Country Hotel?
A few years ago on an August Bank Holiday weekend, we had a particularly large wedding , approx. 200 guests in our Marquee. The couples family originated from the Caribbean and wanted to include their heritage in parts of the day. After the ceremony which had gospel singers serenade them , We had Caribbean steel drums playing in the sunshine during the drinks reception. The most vibrant and beautiful colours displayed in guests outfits. We had tropical flower displays. The barbecue in the evening , again was accompanied by steel drummers, whilst guests were eating jerk chicken and Sweet potato fries! It really was a beautiful day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
An emotional one….but a brides late father had a message sewn into her cream carpet aisle runner at the start of the aisle, for her to see as she walked down the aisle alone. Not a dry eye in the house, the bride just about held it together to get down the aisle. It was beautiful.
