Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - February/March 2023 (Issue 99)

Chic suites What ’s new? Behind the doors of some of the finest hotel wedding venues Vanbrugh House Hotel in Oxford has launched two bespoke luxury packages to make getting married even more special. The boutique 22-bedroom hotel nestled in Oxford’s bustling centre now offers the Bride & Bridal Party Package and The Wedding Night Package – perfect for those getting married in one of Oxford’s many quirky city-centre locations. Whether it’s a bride and her crew wanting to get ready, a romantic spot for the first night of married life, or a base before saying ‘I do’, the two deluxe suites with secluded gardens and a private entrance offer a separate, pampered space to kick-start married life in – complete with four-poster beds, lavish Mr and Mrs bathtubs, luxury touches like slippers and The White Company toiletries plus a digital concierge for guests to make use of during their stay. The Bride & Bridal Party Package is the essential ‘pre-party’ package, perfect for brides or groups looking for a space to get ready for the big event. The bride – and friends - can spend the last night of singledom in lavish surroundings, before waking up to a champagne breakfast hamper in the room. The suite has a separate entrance with a VIP private area to welcome the bridal party with a red carpet and champagne waiting on arrival. The spacious suite offers plenty of space for bridal parties to put the finishing touches to their looks – with huge bathrooms with separate baths and showers, as well as plenty of sink space and mirrors, too. The Wedding Night Package offers newlyweds a one-night stay in a private deluxe suite to retire to after their big day, packed with romantic touches to make the first-night extra special. Decorated with rose petals on the bed, drinks on arrival and a peaceful pamper kit filled with bath bombs, bath salts and eye masks, this is a special way to start married life. A delicious breakfast hamper filled with locally sourced produce, fresh juices and pastries is delivered to the door the next morning, the final touch to wake up to as a married couple. Vanbrugh House offers a bespoke service and is happy to discuss any personal requests that guests would like to include in the package, whether it’s a selection of cocktails in the room, pampering products or decorations to make the suites even more perfect. Packages at this luxurious boutique hotel include everything from champagne on arrival paired with a VIP private area and red-carpet entrance to the suite, and are priced on request.
