Describe the best wedding that happened at The Royal Toby Hotel?
We love a themed wedding! We have hosted many over the years including Harry Potter Theme, Peaky Blinders, Halloween, Formula One and much more!
For a Halloween wedding once, the couple hired a 10ft Grim Reaper which stood outside the entrance with Pumpkins all down the stairs of the entrance!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make as many little details as personal to you as possible. Your wedding is all about the 2 of you and your lives together so try and incorporate as much of your personalities/experiences into the day as you can.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
We have had a couple of Harry Potter themed weddings, one Bride made Chocolate Frogs for the wedding favours for all guests. Another one for the table plan, guests had to find their name on a huge board of Keys to find the table they were sat on which took the guests a while but we thought this was a great idea! We also had a Wizards Cape & Witches Broom hung from the ceiling above the top table which just looked like they were floating!
