As a venue what is your favourite part of a wedding?

My favourite part of the wedding is when the bride walks down the aisle and the groom sees her for the first time and ceremony that is oh so romantic and both make me cry!

What advice would you give couples when selecting a venue for their big day

If you are planning an outdoor ceremony, the venue should have a good “Plan B” in the event that the weather doesn’t play along on the day. Good food is also of the utmost importance and the venue should deliver food of outstanding quality.

What advice would you give to couples who are planning their special day?

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Remember, good food, good music and good company are the key ingredients to ensure a truly memorable wedding celebration. Wedding planning can and will be stressful. There are endless decisions to be made, the family drama to face and inevitable power struggles over the silliest stuff. However, there are more moments where you will literally feel like you are floating on cloud nine. Whether it’s the trip to meet with the florist or the menu tasting these are the memories that you will carry with you for ever so remember to enjoy every moment!

Couples probably fall in love with different aspects of your venue, but what is your favourite feature of Royal Elephant?

The amazing food! With a menu exclusively created by our award-winning chef guests can expect a culinary feast!
