Royal Berkshire Hotel | Sarah + Chris's Stunning Wedding - Fairytale Wedding

Royal Berkshire Hotel Wedding

Finding your perfect venue is a must for any couple, it sets the scene and atmosphere for the day. Sarah and Chris choose the Royal Berkshire Hotel after visiting many more formal settings, they fell in love with this venue, the staffs flexibility, its beautiful location as well as the relaxed feel. This shone out through out their beautiful wedding day.

At our pre-wedding meeting a few months before the big day, we laughed and giggled throughout our meeting and I just knew we were going to have the most amazing day and we sure did.

Both Sarah & Chris got ready at the Royal Berkshire Hotel which meant I was able to visit both of them in the morning for photographs getting ready. With a bridal party full of Sarah and Chris’s nephews and niece it was a very busy morning and the children really enjoyed helping Sarah get ready.

The Ceremony was beautiful with readings and amazing singing from one of Sarah’s friends wonderfully personal and full of love.

The gardens are beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for all our group photographs and bridal portraits.

Why did you choose The Royal Berkshire Hotel for your wedding venue?

We were into double figures with all the venues we looked at. Most were very strict on the packages that they offered (very little or no flexibility). At The Royal Berkshire Hotel they were very clear that they could accommodate most requests and as it is our wedding day they would tailor the package to our requirements.

We had a lovely welcome and the show round was unlike any other we had at other venues. We weren’t rushed and got to taste the champagne and canapés, the wedding coordinator was keen to get to know us rather than just sell. (it didn’t feel as though they were churning couples through the door even though they were fully booked that day) and the venue speaks for its self – stunning!

About Julia …
We met Julia at a wedding fair at Hatfield House.

From the moment we met her she put us at ease with her friendly, relaxed yet professional manner. We have had so many comments from our guest saying how she ensured everything ran smoothly and how lovely she was. Julia blended in seamlessly resulting in beautiful, natural photos. She picked up on our personalities and ensured the photos reflected this.

The day just goes by so quickly and it was the little things that Julia did to help us enjoy every aspect of the day that stood out. Good advise of things we hadn’t even thought of, taking pictures throughout the day bit by bit which ensured we were able to spend time with our guests and taking us away for time together so we could reflect of the day – simple things which really made a difference.

We will treasure the images and Thank you Julia, we couldn’t have wished for a better photographer. The only trouble is they are all so good we could’t possibly select a favourite.

Best memory of your wedding day

This is a difficult one – it was all amazing.

I would say that we were pleasantly surprised how laid back our ceremony was. We mentioned to the registrar that we didn’t want anything too formal and she delivered – The pictures that Julia took capture all the moments perfectly.

Anything you would change.

Not a thing!
