MACDONALD WINDSOR HOTEL This stunning wedding venue in Windsor is located in the heart of the town, overlooking the magical backdrop of Windsor Castle. The charming boutique townhouse hotel and reception venue sit just across from the infamous Windsor Guildhall, the perfect place to enjoy romantic horse-drawn carriage rides along the Long Walk and Great Park for stunning photographs. Ceremonies take place in the Castle Suite for up to 100 guests or the St Georges Suite for up to 50 guests. Two event spaces at the hotel can host receptions, both very different in style yet both can accommodate up to 100 guests for a wedding. There’s a traditional event space decorated with neutral colours which will suit any colour theme. The second space is Caley’s restaurant which offers couples a quirky and non-traditional event space for their wedding day. The roaring fireplace in the reception area makes the property an ideal choice for a winter wedding and the bridal suite with its balcony overlooking the Guildhall and Windsor Castle is a stunning space for getting ready and a first-night stay. Depending on the wedding package, couples getting married at the venue can have a menu tasting, wedding night accommodation plus an anniversary stay with the Royal package. www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/windsor www.instagram.com/macdonaldhotelsandresorts BURNHAM BEECHES HOTEL Nestled in historic hunting grounds in 10 acres of magical woodland and lawns, home to wildlife and a family of deer, sits Burnham Beeches Hotel, a luxurious 80-bedroom property and wedding venue. Located in the Buckinghamshire countryside a stone’s throw from Windsor, the hotel sits adjacent to the protected nature reserve Burnham Beeches. It's the perfect pick for a bridal shower afternoon tea; a peaceful night’s sleep before the big day; a grand backdrop for a ceremony or an intimate and elegant setting for a magical wedding reception. The beautiful white Georgian facade greets guests who are welcomed inside for a little stately service. Having recently undergone an elegant and creative transformation across public areas including the spectacular bridal suite, The Clifton Suite (named after the family that once resided at the house), Soul Spa health club and more, the hotel is now realised as the first of a new brand concept; Imerso Hotels. The Imerso collection of hotels embraces the changing times and takes inspiration from wellness, connectivity and sustainability. Designed by Immersive Hospitality Management's head of design and development, Kay Cullen, the newly renovated property offers a new contemporary look and feel whilst retaining the history of the building and celebrating the hotel’s nature reserve location and surrounding ancient forest. The overall design showcases an eclectic mix of furnishings to reflect the Georgian sensibilities, of travel and discovery expressed in exotic fabrics and objects. The palette and fabrics used throughout echo a mythical forest, linking the location and surrounding nature to the area's renowned Blockbuster filming history. Entering the hotel, guests are welcomed by an open and light reception area featuring a standout tree in its centre to reflect the forest, surrounded by a custom-made, teal velvet round banquette seating area, immediately immersing guests in the story and nature of its address. Thought-provoking murals by Rebell Walls and wallpapers from the likes of Sanderson Design Group, have been used to envelop and engage the guest, with pops of brighter green and blue wall tiles balancing the natural colour palette. The new indulgent bridal suite offers guests an immersion into the Georgian spirit, featuring enchanting chinoiserie wallpaper (Dina Hill for Harlequin) that envelops the space, reflecting the travels of the infamous Grand Tour, where exotic fabrics and art were brought back to line the walls of country mansions. A lavish four-poster bed faces extensive views of the tree-lined lawn, while a slinky slipper bath sets the scene for romantic relaxation. The suite further boasts a generous and elegant separate lounge and dressing area, with striking fabric curtains alongside a substantial shower room designed with beautiful teal-blue tiles laid in a basket weave design, a double his and hers vanity sink, touches of brass, and vintage-inspired light fittings that complement the Georgian features. Ceremonies and receptions are held in the elegant Windsor Suite for up to 120 guests. It provides a blank canvas that can be dressed to suit any theme. It boasts plenty of natural light, wooden floors, contemporary neutral interiors and elegant features. It's ideal for weddings during the cooler months or reception drinks. The Chiltern Bar, located next door, ensures that the atmosphere flows - and also the drinks tray! Outside, ceremonies are held under the new Wedding Pavilion positioned on the front lawn for up to 120 loved ones seated on the manicured lawn. Because the Great British weather can't be guaranteed, an alternative plan is offered if the forecast isn't good.
