THE ROYAL MARITIME HOTEL & CLUB 02392 824 231 | www.royalmaritimeclub.co.uk Tie the knot at this one-of-a-kind venue and immerse in the atmosphere of the maritime city. Situated in Old Portsmouth, close to the historic dockyard and Gunwharf Quays, The Royal Maritime Hotel is steeped in history and provides an original setting for weddings with a difference. With naval artefacts and memorabilia around every corner, each function room is individually decorated to reflect the club’s history. Ceremonies and receptions can occur at this venue and, with 90 comfy en suite bedrooms for the wedding party to stay in, why not make a weekend of it and explore the city the next day? Fully licensed for weddings, pairs can exchange vows in the Trafalgar Ballroom, the property’s largest function space, and celebrate in style afterwards. Complete with full banqueting facilities, a galleried balcony, dancefloor and stage, it can accommodate up to 300 people. The smaller Nelson Lounge offers a more intimate and traditional setting, while the contemporary Below Decks is the perfect place to party in the evenings with up to 100 loved ones. We love… the leisure facilities, including a swimming pool with a sauna and spa pool for relaxing. THE CROWN HOTEL 01258 456 626 | www.crownhotelblandford.co.uk Situated in the picturesque market town of Blandford Forum with views of the River Stour’s water meadows, The Crown Hotel has been a haven for couples celebrating important events for centuries. The venue is guaranteed to make weddings memorable by offering exceptional service, a dedicated function room and comprehensive packages that the team can tailor. The ornamental garden at the front of the hotel and the adjacent river provide romantic opportunities for photographs. The Sealy Suite and Walled Garden can host weddings with 60 to 150 people. The Walled Garden provides a seamless and impressive backdrop to events with direct access from the Sealy Suite. The team has been working hard to ensure that the beautiful gardens are always kept in excellent condition. When couples book their wedding at the property, they’ll receive accommodation for family and friends at discounted rates and a dedicated wedding coordinator who will be on hand from the very first meeting to guide pairs through the planning experience. On the day, an events manager will ensure that all the finer details are taken care of. We love… that the hotel has 27 well-appointed and recently refurbished n suite bedrooms as well as 12 superior rooms with Georgian theming inspired by either Jane Austen or Charles Hall. There’s also a range of other rooms available, including two luxury spaces ideal for newlyweds. 22
