CALEY HALL HOTEL, OLD HUNSTANTON 01485 533 486 | www.caleyhallhotel.co.uk Thinking of enjoying a wedding weekend? This charming seaside hotel provides the perfect base to explore Norfolk and tie the knot. Tastefully decorated, the recently refurbished public areas offer a relaxed atmosphere with a country chic feel. Think chilled coastal wedding, wooden beams, long beautifully dressed tables with white cloths and hessian runners. Set around the original manor house, the hotel offers 37 chalet-style bedrooms, a stylish bar, lounge and restaurant. When the weather’s fine, the patio areas are great for photos or for romantic toes-in-the-sand shots the beautiful beach at Old Hunstanton is only a ten-minute walk away. Intimate ceremonies with up to 40 people are catered for in the Old Barn or for larger parties, the main restaurant can host up to 80 for the ‘I dos’ and wedding breakfast, plus a further 50 for the evening celebration. We love… that there’s a complimentary bridal suite for the happy couple on the wedding night. THE IMPERIAL HOTEL, GREAT YARMOUTH 01493 842 000 | www.imperialhotel.co.uk This long-established venue is set in a prime position on Great Yarmouth’s seafront, opposite North Beach and the refurbished Venetian Waterway Gardens. Built in 1898, the hotel’s Victorian architecture adds to its traditional charm and you can be sure of a warm welcome from the moment you step through the door. The reception area has large sofas and leads through to a lounge bar with comfy armchairs. Modern touches include a partially glazed terrace at the front with panoramic sea views. You’ll be spoilt for choice for great backdrops for those all-important photos with the sandy beach and Waterways on the doorstep and Britannia Pier only a 10-minute stroll away. You can host your whole day here and take your pick from a range of versatile spaces to suit weddings large or small. The light and airy Sandown Suite is an impressive ballroom complete with chandelier, floor-to-ceiling windows, a separate entrance and adjoining bar. You can tie the knot and celebrate afterwards with a sit-down wedding breakfast for 100 guests or 150 for a buffet. The Victoria Suite at the front of the hotel is also licensed for ceremonies and provides a flexible space which can be adapted for intimate weddings and larger gatherings. With large windows and fireplaces at either end, it can be sectioned off to create a cosy private dining room. We love… the terrace with its fabulous sea views, great in the summer for a chilled informal wedding breakfast with up to 40 loved ones. www.keir ontovell.com www.keir ontovell.com 24
