Press release -
There is still time for your own ‘Royal’ Wedding..
If you are looking for your dream wedding venue and fancy the idea of marrying in the same month as HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there is still time as there are some late availability dates available at the luxurious Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire.
For weddings, Stoke Park is a stunning backdrop to your perfect day. Set within 300 acres of beautiful parkland, landscaped gardens and lakes, stands an imposing white Palladian Mansion which exudes romance and luxury. Over 200 years old, the grand building is truly one of the most romantic settings for a marriage ceremony, civil partnership or wedding reception in the country. Not only does it make a picture perfect setting but as one of Europe’s leading 5 AA Red Star Hotel, Spa and Country Clubs, it offers undeniable luxury for your special day.
Situated only 5 miles from Windsor, the Stoke Park estate once belonged to HM Queen Elizabeth I. With 49 luxurious bedrooms and suites, some of which look over Windsor Castle, the Stoke Park team pride themselves on their extremely high standards of service and their aim is to create the most memorable day of your life.
Whether it be a champagne breakfast or a sumptuous reception banquet, a live swing band or an awe-inspiring fireworks display over the fountains and gardens, the happy couple works closely with Stoke Park’s Wedding Coordinator, Michele Connelly and award - winning Executive Chef, Chris Wheeler, to ensure preparations for the big day run flawlessly. Every aspect is planned to the highest quality and finest detail, to guarantee a day that will engender fond and lingering memories.
With the Royal Wedding in mind and celebrating all things British and American, the happy couple can treat their guests to exquisite cuisine including quintessentially British Afternoon Tea Canapés, or some of Executive Chef, Chris Wheeler’s signature dishes such as his ‘Crown of Cucumber’ Dorset Crab Tian, Oven baked Loin of local Lamb with Mini Shepherd’s Pie and his selection of Great British Mini Desserts. And for those wanting a touch of the USA, mini Hot Dogs, mini Burgers, Spicy Mini Pork Ribs and Southern Coated Chicken wings are all on the Evening Buffet menu!
Movie star glamour is evidently present within the grounds of this enchanting estate. Their very own Bridal Suite was used as the iconic romantic mini-break destination in the 2001 film ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’, their 1908 Championship golf course featured prominently in the 1964 James Bond film ‘Goldfinger’ and the Mansion made a star appearance in Daniel Craig’s ‘Layer Cake’.
