Dan and Natalie tied the knot in August at the Goodwood Hotel, set at the heart of our 12,000-acre Estate. From a red-carpet arrival, to a beautiful drinks reception on the Cedar Lawn, the day was certainly not short of elegance and glamour.
“We loved having our wedding at Goodwood. The Hotel was the favourite venue that we saw as we felt like Goodwood just ticked all the boxes for us.
We literally could not fault the immaculate service from everyone at the Hotel. From Rhiannon, our Wedding Planner, being an amazing from start to finish, to Gareth [Food and Beverage Manager} helping us every step of the way. Even on the day, the waiters and waitresses just pulled off the most amazing service. You could really tell that everyone worked as a team.”
Dan and Natalie made the most of the different space options at the Goodwood Hotel with an indoor wedding breakfast and outdoor welcome reception.
“We opted for an outdoors drinks reception, as it was summer, and it was just the perfect setting for when people arrived. The Cedar Lawn is a beautiful space for a wedding.”
We can’t wait to come back here for our first anniversary in August!
