Mr & Mrs Blair - 25th November 2022
"The venue for our wedding was never in question and we wouldn’t have got married anywhere else. It was the place we had our first date and then four years later we were back to celebrate our 4th anniversary and our wedding day.
Incredible, from start to finish. The Crown really did out-do themselves for our special day.
Thanks go to Megan our wedding coordinator for making our dream come true, Beppe for being so attentive, and Ashley for being so great in making the day run without fault. Also the bar staff for making incredible cocktails.
We can't thank The Crown team enough for making our wedding day so special. We loved every second of our special day. Everything ran so smoothly, from morning to night, it was just perfect. All of our guests commented on how it was such a beautiful setting, and how lovely the gardens were for our wedding photos. Nothing was any trouble to any of the team, and we felt very relaxed on the day as we knew everything was taken care of. We would 100% recommend The Crown as a wedding venue. Thank you for everything.
Our special day was every bit amazing as well as the service provided by the hotel. Our wedding was just perfect – beautiful, intimate and, from booking to the end of the day, The Crown gave us everything and more than we expected to create perfection. Thank you.
