Weddings

We have over 30 years experience helping Brides and Grooms to be, plan and organise their Wedding Day, always ensuring that their celebration is happy and memorable. The Hotel was one of the first venues in the area to be licensed to hold Marriage Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships.

Packfords offers an intimate and stylish setting for your Wedding. The Garden Room Suite incorporates the conservatory which leads on to pretty gardens, providing ideal surroundings for photographs in the summer. During the winter, open fires provide a cosy and warm environment.

Reception drinks are served in the conservatory, enabling people to go into the gardens. The Wedding Breakfast can cater for between 35-80 people for a formal sit down meal, or up to 140 guests for an informal buffet.

During the week, the Hardy Room is ideal for smaller gatherings with a seating capacity of up to 35 people. It has a more contemporary yet classic appeal.

Flowers are provided to complement your colour scheme on all of the tables and the Hotel also provides a wedding-cake stand and knife.

There is a venue hire charge based on the numbers, length and type of function. We will be happy to give you the appropriate price upon your enquiry.

Please contact us to come and view the venue. We will be delighted to send you our Wedding Brochure detailing a full range of menus, wine list and reception drinks.

The Function Suites

The Hotel creates a setting that is traditional yet warm and relaxing, with open fires and air conditioning in all public rooms.

The bar area is immediately adjacent to the main room. The Suite is able to accommodate between 35–80 people for a formal meal and up to 140 for a buffet.

The Hardy Room has a more contemporary yet still classic appeal. It is ideal for a weekday Wedding reception with a seating capacity of 15-35 people and 50 people for a buffet.

Entertainment

Perhaps the most popular evening entertainment is a disco. We are able to provide you with the contact details of our regular DJ who will liaise with you prior to your special day to organise your choice of music. Alternatively a live Jazz Trio or String Quartet would get the dancing going with a swing!
