as you are, so for this reason we ensure
that all of your requirements are treated
with the utmost care and attention.
Our team of Wedding Co-ordinators have
many years of experience organising fabulous
events, intimate or grand, whether it be your
wedding ceremony, wedding reception,
multi-cultural event or civil partnership you
can be assured of one thing - our attention
to detail.
We believe that you should have everything
to look forward to and nothing to look after.
That’s why we will work with you in every
step of planning the perfect personalised
event. From an initial tour of our event
facilities to a menu tasting with our Chef
allowing you to relax and cherish every
moment of your big day.
I was a guest at a wedding held at Drayton Manor Hotel and the venue is just
stunning! We just had the wedding breakfast and evening reception there but they
were so helpful throughout the day! Everything from food, organisation and
decor was just perfect!
