Celebrating their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, we caught up with Jen and Mark to find out the highlights from their special day last year.
“We got married outside on the beautiful Cedar Lawn at the Goodwood Hotel, and with the July weather on our side, it made the most stunning setting. Having a celebrant meant that we were able to personalise our service to exactly how we had imagined it would be. There is literally nothing we would have changed.
It is hard to pick one highlight, but the relaxed and informal service on the lawn, paired with the traditional afternoon tea was amazing – it was exactly what we were looking for. The staff were faultless and always there when you needed them. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so organised. It took the pressure and stress off us and meant that we were able to just enjoy the day even more. We couldn’t forget our DJ battle that we had at the evening reception. That was definitely a big highlight!”
When describing the Goodwood Hotel, Jen and Mark certainly loved the flexibility and endless possibility that this wedding venue gave them.
“The Hotel had everything that we needed - comfortable accommodation for us and our guests, lots of space, the flexibility of the lawn and the Cedar Suite, as well as the additional bar and function rooms for storing things. The organisation and staff were brilliant. The food gorgeous. And to top it all off, the price was such great value for money."
Nothing compared to Goodwood.
Jen Bride
"We chose the Goodwood Hotel simply because we love Goodwood. There is something about all the little touches that you get at Goodwood that you just don’t get anywhere else – it makes it so special. We were sold the minute we had our first show-around and met our lovely wedding planner, Rhiannon. Nothing compared to Goodwood.”
