ALCOTT WEDDINGS, B48 7EH 07725 882 097 | www.alcottweddings.co.uk Set within 60 acres of stunning Worcestershire countryside is the grand Alcott Weddings. Guests will love exploring the pretty gardens, lakes and mile-long driveway. There’s also an on-site Equestrian yard with rustic barns, stables and gorgeous horses, that make the perfect backdrop for photographs. Inside, there are a variety of structures available from marquees to tipis and yurts. Each has a neutral décor throughout that can be personalised to suit the couple’s needs. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Alcott Weddings has a range of quirky and traditional structures for weddings that can hold up to 450 guests. The Capris Marquee is the most cost-effective option. It has clear panels, so guests can admire the gorgeous views, and if more space is needed, marquees can be joined together. Alternatively, the Clear Span Marquee can be hired. These link together and can create different shapes. The beautiful and ever-popular tipis can also be used. These come in hats and link together to create a bigger space. Each one comes with panel weatherproofing kits, and wooden flooring is available. Couples looking for something a bit different can hire an extravagant yurt. It has high-curved rafters, a domed roof and plenty of space to dance the night away. WE LOVE... The venue offers a complimentary bridal suite in the stunning barn conversion.

It oozes charm and elegance, and thanks to its Tudor grandeur, makes a luxurious wedding venue. Just a short drive away from Warwick, Leamington Spa and Birmingham, the hotel is easily accessible, making it the perfect location. The property has a beautiful courtyard that can be used for drinks receptions, and in the newer part of the building, there’s a grand staircase with a dropped chandelier that’s perfect for photographs. There’s also a selection of bedrooms available, each is full of character and luxurious amenities. CELEBRATE IN STYLE The White Swan Hotel has two spaces available for weddings. Capulet is an intimate, sophisticated space with a neutral colour palette throughout, ideal for couples looking for a blank canvas. It’s capable of holding 50 guests for the drinks reception or 25 for smaller celebrations. The Montague Suite has an exquisite swan mural and Shakespearian theme throughout, with space for 60 loves ones for the drinks reception or 35 seated for a banquet. The two areas can be combined to hold 70 people for a sit-down meal or 100 for the reception. WE LOVE... The staff believe Shakespeare may have frequented the property many years ago, and couples will receive a free menu tasting and bridal suite on the night of the wedding. www.karenmasseyphotography.co.uk www.karenmasseyphotography.co.uk
