Your Surrey Wedding - April/May 2025 (Issue 112)

COULSDON MANOR HOTEL & GOLF CLUB 0330 094 5918 https://bespokehotels.com/coulsdonmanorandgolf The Coulsdon Manor Hotel, a Bespoke Hotels property sits in the historic village of Old Coulsdon. The current hotel building was built in 1850 by the third squire of the manor of Coulsdon, Thomas Byron. The fine Victorian house replaced the much smaller Hartley Farm, which dated back to the 13th century. Golf was introduced at Coulsdon Manor shortly after the estate was purchased by a developer in 1923. The Harry Colt-designed course has, although private at first, remained relatively unchanged ever since, with it being opened to the public as Coulsdon Court Golf Course on the 18th of January 1938. The Blenheim Suite is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 100 guests and can seat up to 80 loved ones at a wedding breakfast. A reception for up to 120 people can also be enjoyed here and the stylish suite benefits from a bar and two private terraces. The Manor Room caters for 120 seated guests and up to 200 friends and family for an evening reception. It overlooks the large terrace and private grassed area with sweeping views of the golf course. This beautiful room with high ceilings, chandeliers and mural-clad walls offers the ideal space for dancing. It benefits from the use of the adjacent Churchill suite. Coulsdon Manor Hotel & Golf Club offers a wedding menu selector; for the tasting session, couples can choose two dishes for each course (six in total), then pick one from each course to create a three-course set meal for guests. The chef is happy to cater for dietary requirements and allergies and there’s even a children’s menu. AVIATOR HOTEL 01252 555 892 | https://aviatorhampshire.com/weddings Located near London on the Hampshire and Surrey border, Aviator overlooks the private Farnborough Airport and is one of the most striking hotels in recent times.

Inside, you are met with the impressive central rotunda and luxurious yet understated interiors. The Sky Lounge and Wright Room, in particular, are guaranteed to impress guests with floor to ceiling panoramic views – remarkable to even those without an interest in aviation. A dedicated events wing, separate from the main hotel entrance, is complete with its own lobby, perfect for welcoming your day guests in a more secluded and intimate style. The Wright Room, for up to 95 ceremony guests (80 guests for the wedding breakfast/then 125 evening), is located on the ground floor with bi-folding doors that stretch from floor to ceiling, giving unrivalled views of the runway. The room is a blank canvas that easily welcomes any style. The Sky Lounge, for up to 80 loved ones (80/110), is 50ft from ground level and is designed to leave a lasting impression with views of the airport. Its versatility means it can be designated for your personal use for the duration of your wedding to host and entertain guests from ceremony to dancefloor. The space boasts a private bar, private bathrooms and the option to expand into the fourth-floor atrium, giving you and your guests an impressive view down the central rotunda. As a premium event space at Aviator, the 4th Floor at Aviator can also be used exclusively with the Sky Lounge, the fourth-floor rotunda and atrium and 19 luxurious Sky Suites, creating a contemporary setting for sophisticated weddings. Finally Earhart, for up 40 guests from the ceremony to the evening, is located on the ground floor adjacent to the events lobby and easily adapts to different layouts whilst still allowing plenty of space to move around. The floor to ceiling windows allows plenty of natural light to pour in or you can use the privacy curtains for an intimate, romantic atmosphere. Additionally, Cody provides the perfect space to host a sit-down wedding breakfast with 20 of your nearest and dearest. Despite being Aviator’s smallest event room, it offers impressive airside views with private terrace and lawn access, a dedicated entrance and private cloakroom leading to a soft lounge area make the space versatile with the feeling of a luxurious home from home. When tying the knot here, couples benefit from a wedding breakfast tasting for two, a Sky Suite for the wedding night, and included in the Deluxe and Ultimate packages: an anniversary stay for the couple, master of ceremonies, and two complimentary bedrooms for the wedding party (Ultimate package-only).
