Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from everyone at Ringwood Hall Hotel

We all know that Christmas is one of the most romantic times of the year with an influx of couples getting engaged and using the festive season to look for special wedding venues, as well as it being a popular time for people actually getting married.

A recent national wedding conference announced that over 35% of brides opt for a country house hotel as their wedding venue (a no-brainer to us!), and 53% of couples prefer their ceremony and wedding breakfast/ reception also at the same location.

Another interesting statistic from the conference was that apparently, 58% of couples will visit 2-5 different venues before making their venue choice – of course, those that choose to visit our gorgeous Ringwood Hall Hotel don’t need to look elsewhere!

WEDDING SHOWCASE – SUNDAY 3^rd & MONDAY 4^th JANUARY

At Ringwood Hall Hotel, we take the time to understand what bride and grooms are looking for in a wedding venue – which is why we have organised a spectacular two day wedding showcase straight in the New Year for those festive love affairs.

If you are looking for a country style luxury wedding, look no further than our beautiful Georgian grade 11 listed Manor House – we have several superb licensed suites available for both civil ceremonies and wedding breakfasts.

Our Wedding Showcase event is open from 2-5pm on Sunday 3^rd January and 11-4pm on Monday the 4^th January for those lucky couples who have extra time off work.

It’s a great opportunity for happy couples to stroll around our venue, honeymoon suite and other luxury 4-poster and feature bedrooms, see our award-winning kept gardens and of course, speak to the many of our closest wedding service suppliers available to offer information and advice to make your day extra special.

As always, refreshments are available, with no admission charge and plenty of parking both days.

And…. for those 21% of brides who are found to make choices based on recommendations - here’s one from a couple who got married on December 5^th 2015 at Ringwood Hall Hotel, and kindly posted a testimonial on our Facebook page;

Stretch It Out. In Favor Of The Three Day Wedding

We’ve all traveled to that wedding where we arrived just in time for the ceremony and left after a quick brunch the next day. Was it worth it? Probably. Did you get any quality time with the bride and groom and their loved ones? Probably not. Did you get to explore the cool place you just traveled to? Highly unlikely.

The three day wedding just might be the solution. If your guests are getting in a car and driving a distance or traveling on a plane, why not make the event into a real get-a-way for them? And I don’t mean a packaged destination wedding on a tropical island—that’s something else entirely. I’m talking about inviting all your guests to spend at least three days on your turf. 

Spread the wedding events out and let your friends and family relax and get to know each other in the process. With all this time for casual conversation and meandering around your town or city, your celebration will build camaraderie and love as the days go on. And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

Here’s a sample itinerary:

Thursday Night: Rehearsal Dinner—keep it small and intimate. Momentum will build.

Friday Late Afternoon/Evening: Backyard BBQ. At your house, in the park or at your wedding venue, whatever’s easy. Encourage out of town guest to arrive in time for the BBQ. Casual food and drinks are shared and the stage is set for the weekend.

Saturday: Explore the local town. Let your guests go out on their own while you get yourself ready. Suggest your favorite brunch spot, hike or not to miss bakery.

Saturday Evening: Wedding ceremony and reception. Here comes the bride.

Sunday: Brunch open house. Invite everyone over to your house or again at the wedding venue for a buffet brunch. By that time everyone will be friends, have shared some laughs, some drinks, maybe some tears, and will have a good sense of how you’re all connected.

Your wedding is about you and your commitment to your partner. It is a celebration of this commitment. But isn’t it also about getting the people you love together to have a fun weekend? 

If you can stretch the wedding out over a few days and let your guests relax into the experience, the deeper their connection will be to your wedding, forever. And probably the more likely it will be for them to come back and visit you on your turf that they’ve grown to love.

Ringwood Hall Hotel love to work with you to create your dream wedding, so whether you're looking for a traditional day event or a three-day celebration - we can help!
