The venue takes our breath away

The Welcombe hotel was our beautiful wedding venue October 2016! We came back on our 1st wedding anniversary to stay in the same rooms and promised to come back on our 10th wedding anniversary. The venue takes my breath away everytime. Anytime we are in Stratford we have to drive up to see it.

The most magical picture perfect day

The Welcombe is a very special place for us. We got married at The Welcombe on 12th September 2020. We were the first wedding at the Welcombe after Covid 19! After months of agonising over whether we’d get to have our day with the ever changing rules, we were incredibly lucky to have 30 people. We had the most magical picture perfect day, where the sun shone and our closest friends surrounded us! It really was the best day of our lives!

After 2 years of delays we finally got our dream wedding day at the Welcombe Hotel. In April 2022 we got all our friends and family together in the sun and beautiful grounds to celebrate.

Everything was just perfect

My husband and I got married here on New Years Eve 2019. We have the most amazing time. The venue, the bridal suite, food, staff, fabulous fireworks at midnight - everything was just perfect and we’d love to return. The day was just as we wanted it and we have such special memories of our big day. We both felt extremely lucky our big day to have our wedding at such a stunning venue!

Vow renewal was a beautiful day

Steve and I were married on 7th August 1972 and held our wedding reception at the Welcombe. It was a beautiful day. On 7th August 2022 we held our vow renewal here. Once again it was a beautiful day …. 40 years apart.

A truly fantastic day that we'll remember forever

October 22nd 2022…. Our happily ever after. After 18 years of being together we married in the beautiful Welcome Hotel. Everything about the day was perfect. From the beautiful weather, to the gorgeous food, wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough for us . A truly fantastic day that we will remember forever. The Suzanna suite was the most amazing room with a spectacular view. Big enough for all 6 bridesmaids, but cosy enough for two wonderful days with my new husband

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Welcombe Hotel?

Every wedding is different and we love to see the flexibility in our venue that couples are able to create the dream they have always thought of. The best wedding for me are the ones who make the most of the gardens outside - they really are one of a kind!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make decisions on what you want as a couple. A lot of couples tend to lose their desires in planning their day as they have so many other guests and elements to think of. Keep yours and your partners desires at the front of your minds :)

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

I really love the music for weddings - each song always means something to the couple and seeing how they react to the song in the moment is stunning. I also really like the personal cards some couples give as place cards with either a memory of them and the person or a compliment to them. It makes everyone feel loved on this special day.
