Your Surrey Wedding - Apr/May 2019 (Issue 76)

WHERE TO WED IN . . . Reigate, Redhill & Tandridge Surrounded by 35 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland boasting an existing Amphitheatre and Victorian Walled Garden; Stanhill Court has stunning venue views. Overlooking the Surrey Downs creating a romantic and picturesque setting, the venue is nestled in peaceful countryside, yet London Gatwick Airport and links to the motorway are only 10 minutes away! A magnificent Victorian country manor house and quintessentially English wedding venue, the new owner’s enthusiasm and passion for this historic building has led to a completely refreshed venue with a modern, contemporary feel that also respects and retains the character and features of the existing house. The changes to the interior are traditional, yet contemporary with an elegant twist. Every bedroom is being completely updated, exuding opulence and style, with modern décor and fittings throughout. Signature bedrooms boast lovingly restored traditional four-poster beds with luxury bedding, linen and amenities and far- reaching views across the Surrey countryside. Ceremonies and receptions take place in a variety of spaces. The Orangery (180), has been given a new lease of life with modern décor and furniture, leading to the terrace and gardens, complemented by beautiful views. The Charlwood Suite (240) offers the perfect space for a grand wedding, situated in the heart of the hotel, the rooms are ideal for a lavish affair offering space and versatility with moving partitions. The Lloyds Room (40), overlooking the stunning gardens and terrace, is ideal for an intimate gathering. The décor is traditional with contemporary and modern twists complete with stunning wood panelling and an original fireplace. An existing Amphitheatre remains in the grounds and work has started on the second phase of improvements to include its sympathetic reconstruction, providing the opportunity to host secluded al fresco wedding ceremonies this year. There’s also a helicopter pad for a grand entrance! Couples benefit from a complimentary bridal suite, with a group breakfast the following morning, a menu and wine tasting and a first-year anniversary stay when booking this venue.  STANHILL COURT 01293 862 166 | stanhillcourthotel.co.uk dorringtonphotography.co.uk LOCAL VENUES 21
