COUPLES FALL IN LOVE WITH THE COMPLEAT ANGLER’S EXCLUSIVE WEDDING HIRE The Compleat Angler is a beautiful riverside hotel in the historic town of Marlow in Buckinghamshire which has seen a 40% increase in bookings for exclusive hire for wedding receptions. The four-star hotel, which sits on the banks of The River Thames, saw a 40% increase in weddings where the entire venue was booked out in the past year. The waterside wedding venue has become one of Marlow’s most popular destinations for exclusive-use wedding hire. With 64 bedrooms, five wedding suites, a restaurant with riverside views and some of the most immaculate and inspiring grounds in Marlow, The Compleat Angler offers a magical setting in which to tie the knot. The hotel has become increasingly popular amongst local couples looking for an extravagant and private affair, with several recent exclusive-use weddings arranged by those in the Buckinghamshire area. Those opting for exclusive use will have full access to all areas of the hotel, from the riverside lawn where guests can enjoy a champagne reception overlooking the water and the Marlow Bridge, to the sophisticated restaurant area, and all 64 bedrooms. With private access to the river, couples can also take a boat ride along the Thames during the warmer months, offering the perfect background for spectacular wedding photos. John Willcock, general manager, said: “The Compleat Angler is such a stunning and unique venue and it is no surprise that guests want to keep it all to themselves.” He adds, “The views are unrivalled. We have the best outlook of The River Thames and The Marlow Bridge in the town, making it a particularly special place to host your special day.” He concludes, “Having exclusive use of the venue means guests have greater freedom to design their day exactly how they wish, making use of various areas within the hotel, all with the assurance of complete privacy. However, the real showstopper has to be our grounds. The hotel is surrounded by beautifully curated gardens with bright-coloured flora throughout, and our front lawn overlooks the Georgian town, conveying a real romanticism that is hard to find anywhere else. Our weddings and events team are highly experienced in delivering all types of weddings, from intimate celebrations to larger private affairs, and guests are guaranteed the highest level of attention and care throughout all of the planning.” The elegant function rooms at this luxury wedding venue are licensed for civil ceremonies and can seat up to 120 daytime and 200 evening guests.
