Once upon
a time...
... there was a Princess, who dreamt of being
charmed by a handsome Prince.
She longed to be swept off her feet by Mr Right,
to be whisked away to live happily ever after.
From an early age she planned for the day that she
would marry the prince.
One day her dream came true. Mr Right came along
- looked lovingly into her eyes and asked her to
become his wife.
And she said yes! Of course.
As
the Princess was a Princess, every
detail had to be perfect. The venue had to be
beautiful and charming with tall ceilings, ornate
fireplaces and a grand staircase, that combined
traditional elegance with a modern twist. After a
tour of its classic rooms and mature garden with
its ancient trees, the St. Andrews Town Hotel
was chosen.
The Georgian town house was ideal, a hidden gem.
Situated just a short walk from historic Droitwich
Spa and central to the Midlands, the hotel was
perfectly located for the visiting family members.
The date was set in the not too distant future and
the planning proceeded with gusto. The St Andrews
wedding co-ordinator and the team were all very
excited to be involved in organising such an
important day and sprang into action providing
the Princess and the Queen with lots of useful
information and advice.
The
big day arrived and the Bride, Bridesmaids
and her family arrived to prepare themselves in the
comfort of the hotel. There was an air of excitement
as hair stylists and make-up artists arrived to help
the bride look her best.
The happy couple decided to take full advantage of
the hotel’s civil wedding licence, opting to perform
the wedding in the hotel’s function room rather than
one of the many beautiful churches in the region.
The bride groom and his merry band of men arrived
in good time to greet the guests, having been
patiently waiting at a local ale house.

It
wasn’t too long before there was a
constant stream of friends and family arriving from
all over the Kingdom, parking under the huge Cedar
tree in the front garden.
Taking their seats the excited guests waited with
baited breath for the arrival of the bride and her
party. Who obviously kept them waiting.
And waiting...
Until she finally made her big entrance.
Our Princess, the bride to be in all her splendor,
looked radiant as she floated down the grand
staircase, into the hall and past the waiting
crowd to the front of the congregation.
The civil ceremony was perfect, the vows
were exchanged and the happy couple
were wed.
There was not a dry eye in the room.
Mr and
Mrs Right...
...and the wedding party
retired to the large mature
garden to take in the
sunshine and for the all
important photographs.
While the happy couple took a moment to
compose themselves the guests enjoyed a seasonal
drink on the terrace and Bar, before the wedding
breakfast.
The carefully chosen fine Champagne, the music
of the String Quartet and the view of the lawns
through the French windows offered a relaxing
accompaniment.
The dining room
was the chosen venue for the
wedding breakfast with its tall ceilings and ornate
frieze. The guests marvelled at its beauty and the
beauty of Mrs Right of course!
The wedding breakfast was a magnificent feast,
enjoyed by all. The Bride and Groom had been given
the choice of a range of sumptuous menus, and the
Princess, a connoisseur of fine food, had opted for
the 4 course meal option of locally sourced produce
tailored to suit the taste buds of even the most
discerning guest.

Following
the meal and the heartfelt
speeches, the wedding party
returned to the function room,
which had been transformed for
the evening’s entertainment
and the all important first dance.
A buffet was served in the evening when the extra
guests arrived and the newly weds danced the night
away, before slipping away to the luxury of
the beautiful honeymoon suite with its huge
bed and roll top bath – a room fit for a Prince
and Princess.
Many of the guests continued to party before
retiring to one of the hotel’s splendid
bedrooms.
And as with all fairy tales they all lived happily ever after...
