Wedding Venue Review: Matara

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Claire

I should rein­tro­duce Eng­lish Wed­ding blog venue reviews as it’s been a lit­tle while since the last one. If you’re new to the blog (hello!) I ask wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers to review wed­ding venues they know. It’s a great way to get an expert opin­ion of a wed­ding venue and its facil­i­ties, charm and atmosphere.

Fawsley Hall by Northamp­ton wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Sarah Vivienne

Fawsley Hall is a lux­ury coun­try house in Northamp­ton­shire, com­bin­ing Knight­ley Court for smaller, chic wed­dings and the Main House at Fawsley Hall for lux­ury cel­e­bra­tions. Parts of the hall date from the 15th cen­tury — its his­tory is dot­ted with barons and vis­counts and ladies… need­less to say it’s a mag­nif­i­cent wed­ding venue today.

Adam from ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy says, “I was impressed by the grandeur of Rook­ery Hall (not untyp­i­cal of a Cheshire wed­ding venue!), and the real mix­ture of old and new.

The Belle Epoque wedding venue

Posted on July 23, 2010 by Claire

The Belle Epoque in Cheshire is an opu­lent wed­ding venue, richly dec­o­rated and full of char­ac­ter. A gor­geous lit­tle gem with bags of char­ac­ter, I had to do a lit­tle wed­ding venue fea­ture to show you this one!

Owned and oper­ated by a sin­gle fam­ily over 35 years, the Belle Epoque has such won­der­ful fea­tures as mar­ble pil­lars, art deco fire­places and lus­cious detail­ing around every cor­ner. It really makes a state­ment and is a glo­ri­ous treat for your wed­ding day.

Stapleford Park wedding venue

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Claire

Sta­ple­ford Park is a lux­u­ri­ous coun­try house hotel in the heart of Leices­ter­shire. A huge estate with acres of land and gor­geous accom­mo­da­tion, Sta­ple­ford is pretty spec­tac­u­lar if your wed­ding bud­get is par­tic­u­larly stretchy. This really is a top class venue, pop­u­lar for both grand and inti­mate wed­dings, and also a haunt of the rich and famous. (For hotel guests, coun­try pur­suits are offered includ­ing game shoot­ing — so veg­ans per­haps give this one a miss.) The AA has named Sta­ple­ford Park as one of the top hotels in the British Isles and it has been awarded a pres­ti­gious 4 red star rat­ing for its accom­mo­da­tion.  Read more…
