Weddings at Handpicked Hotels

I love the 17 country house hotels in the Hand Picked Hotels collection. They are ideal venues for weddings.

With more and more couples choosing to marry in a hotel I had to share this collection of 17 stunning hotels with you.


Hand Picked Hotels specialise in finding the right wedding package to meet the individual needs of brides and grooms. "It is often the case that a bride and groom falls in love with one of our quaint country house hotels" however the dates they would like are taken or the budget just does not stretch for peak wedding season. Hand Picked Hotels will look at the best alternative dates and packages to make wedding dreams come true.

Traditionally peak wedding season is in the summer however Hand Picked Hotels have become specialist in seasonal weddings be it Spring, Autumn or Winter. Winter weddings are particularly popular and many brides marry in December when the hotels are elaborately decorated for the Christmas season and the public areas are warmed by roaring fires.

While Westminster Abbey is the chosen venue of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Hand Picked Hotels’ Rhinefield House in the New Forest has its own link with Westminster albeit not the Abbey but the Houses of Parliament as the Grand Hall has many features of Westminster Hall and is a stunning backdrop for that very special day.

With Prince William and Kate Middleton settled in north Wales, those looking to marry in this scenic area may want to consider the small and idyllic Seiont Manor near Snowdonia which has been awarded 3 red stars by the Automobile Association in recognition of its outstanding hospitality.
