Join us as we sit down with the couple post-wedding to discuss their journey, wedding planning experience at The Nottinghamshire, and the unforgettable moments that made their big day truly magical.
Our story might seem ordinary – we met at work.
But… over the years, our friendship blossomed into something much more profound, and we began dating!
It’s funny, with a five-year engagement and another five years before the wedding, picking one “memorable moment” feels almost impossible!
We built a life together, brick by brick. Buying our first home was a huge step, and then our daughter arriving was pure magic. But truthfully, becoming Mr & Mrs was the cherry on the cake to cementing our love for each other and our little family unit.
Honestly, as soon as we pulled up to The Nottinghamshire, we knew it was the one. The location was perfect, and the whole place had this great vibe with stunning landscapes.
The staff was super friendly when we toured, and they showed us all the different options for setting up the ceremony and reception. It just felt like it would be a really relaxed and enjoyable space for everyone.
We found it really straightforward and stress free!
Due to various reasons, we worked with 3 different wedding planners. Ultimately, Emma ended up looking after us and she was so calm, cool, and collected – we always felt really relaxed, listened to, and understood after meeting and speaking with her.
We went with more of a colour palette than a specific colour scheme, lots of neutrals and calm colours and foliage – eucalyptus played a big part!
The food was definitely high on the list. After the menu tasting, we knew our guests were in for a treat – the chefs at The Nottinghamshire are incredible! We couldn’t wait to share that amazing food with everyone.
And of course, dancing the night away with friends and family was a must! We knew the atmosphere at The Nottinghamshire would be perfect for letting loose and having a blast.
The entire day was a whirlwind of happiness, but there’s one moment that truly stands out.
Right before the ceremony began, as the doors opened and we saw each other for the first time that day, the emotions just came flooding in.
We were both a little teary-eyed, surrounded by all the people we love most in the world. It felt absolutely perfect, a moment of pure joy and love that captured the essence of the entire day.
The surprise fireworks display from Rock-It Fireworks Displays was the icing on the cake! They were absolutely sensational, and it was the perfect way to end the night with a bang.
Honestly, the staff at The Nottinghamshire were amazing. You know how weddings can be a bit chaotic, with a million things going on at once? Well, with them, it felt like everything just…ran itself.
We didn’t have to worry about a thing, they handled it all. It meant we could just relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. They were super friendly and helpful too, always there with a smile if we needed anything.
Couldn’t have asked for a better team!
Thankfully, the day itself went off without a hitch! Everything seemed to flow perfectly, and we were completely in the moment, enjoying every second.
It rained a bit throughout the day, which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It kept everyone cosy inside, and the dance floor was packed all night long! Looking back, even the “unexpected” rain added to the festive atmosphere.
Our biggest piece of advice is to carefully select your suppliers and then trust them.
We used suppliers who were recommended by our venue – Iced & Spliced by Cakey Wakey for our venue decorations, Austen Blakemore for our photography, Marvellous Videography for our wedding videos, and Paul Grundle Magician for entertainment – and just trusted them to do a fantastic job.
This meant we were totally free to enjoy the day and just be with our friends and family. We wanted to enjoy our big day as much as possible, rather than trying to micromanage every little thing.
Absolutely! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Nottinghamshire to anyone looking for a truly magical wedding venue in Nottingham. In fact, several of our guests have already told us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!
There are so many reasons why we loved it. The staff was incredible – professional, friendly, and always there to ensure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful outdoor spaces and elegant interiors. The food was exceptional, and the onsite accommodations were perfect for our guests.
The Nottinghamshire provided the perfect atmosphere for celebrating our love with the people we care about most. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and we owe a huge part of that to the amazing team at The Nottinghamshire.
Well, maybe if we could control the weather, we wouldn’t have had the rain showers! But honestly, even that ended up being a fun memory.
We snuck out for a quick picture with an umbrella, and it became a really cute moment. So no, nothing major – just a reminder that sometimes the little things can add to the charm of the day!
Just a really big “thank you” to all the staff who were involved in our day. Everything from the hotel rooms, the hosting, the food, the décor, the running order – everything was just perfect!
