This year in April my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Having never really bothered making a big deal over little anniversaries over the years we thought, as it was a really special year - why not have a really big celebration? Surrounded by friends and family at a really special venue would make up for all the times we left it too late to organise anything special and just ended up ordering a takeaway!
It had to be at a venue of course, if we were going to make our wedding anniversary really special! Our family is a large one and I don't think I could handle catering for and entertaining a lot of people in my own home. No - I was going to find a really special Wedding Anniversary Venue and let other people do the hard work for me! To my surprise, my husband was very keen on the idea, (I knew he was an old romantic at heart!) and soon we were searching for wedding anniversary venues together. I've got to say, it wasn't easy finding our perfect venue. We had a few things in mind of what we wanted - it had to be nearby to home so it felt personal yet easy to get to for friends and family travelling from further afield, and I wanted a certain amount of control in choosing menus and the order of the evening while still feeling assured that everything was being taken care of for me. So many chain venues churn out the same type of function week after week, and places like this didn't feel personal enough for us. We wanted somewhere intimate and traditional where we could celebrate our love in a beautiful environment. I don't think I was being too choosy! I just wanted everything to be perfect.
It was my husband who found our ideal anniversary venue, thanks to a recommendation from a friend. It was perfect. Stirrups Country House Hotel in Berkshire had everything we wanted, and more! Sat in 10 acres of beautiful countryside, this charming hotel is decorated with a luxury modern finish while still maintaining its traditional style. Their largest function room, the Floyd Suite, was perfect for our wedding anniversary venue as we had chosen to have a dinner dance. The events team were amazing, willing to work with every request I had making our celebration perfectly tailored to us. As organisers of the event, my husband and I got free Bed & Breakfast accommodation on the night as well, in a really beautiful room with a 4 poster bed! It really topped the night off well. Our closest members of family also stayed at the hotel so it gave us even more time to spend together. The night ran so smoothly and everybody had such an amazing time. I'm so pleased we found our perfect wedding anniversary venue, we're wanting to celebrate the next one already!
