Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - Page number 23 - November/December 2021 (Issue 89)

THE ELVETHAM, HOOK 01252 844 871 | www.elvethamhotel.co.uk This country house hotel is sure to impress from the moment you arrive down the tree-lined driveway. Nestled in the middle of 35 acres of lovingly tended gardens and grounds, the impressive 19 th -century red brick building boasts a central tower over the main entrance providing the perfect backdrop for standout photos. Step inside and be prepared for more stop-stare moments. Combining all the character and charm of its long history with the modern amenities of a modern hotel, it offers a range of fabulous spaces and features including beautifully painted ceilings and stained glass windows as well as 43 newly renovated bedrooms. You can marry in the Oak Room and celebrate afterwards with a wedding breakfast for up to 108 people or for an al-fresco ceremony, say ‘I do’ in the Formal Garden Squares. The venue can host up to 200 reception guests in either the Library, Oak Room or, for more intimate gatherings, the Morning Room is ideal. There’s a wealth of great photo opportunities throughout, including outside in the newly planted orchard alongside the River Hart and the beautiful formal gardens. We love… the feature staircase, perfect for making a grand entrance. SUITE DREAMS Check into a local hotel for your big day www.idea limaging.uk.com www.idea limaging.uk.com HOTELS 23
