The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa

The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa is definitely one of the most wondrous venues for your big special day. The hotel is perfect for whatever scale of event you have in mind, whether it's an intimate elopement, a micro-wedding, or a much larger celebration. The hotel’s timeless architecture and secluded gardens create a romantic backdrop that can be tailored to certain themes, such as a Regency Romance ceremony and reception.

The well-experienced events team will streamline the event's planning from start to finish, from coordinating decor, music, and food to logistics involving special cakes, securing performers, and accommodating even your quirkiest requests. The hotel even offers a special Sustainable Wedding for the eco-minded couples. The team will help you coordinate with eco-friendly suppliers and services, as well as enjoy vegan reception menus.

The venues are also diverse in atmosphere and function; the Library and the Sheridan Room, for example, offer elegant spaces for indoor ceremonies and receptions for a moderate group of about 20 to 30 guests. The Sir Percy Blakeney Suite comes with a private terrace with lovely views, and is perfect for socializing and photo shoots. For outdoor celebrations, the Walled Wedding Garden and the Croquet Lawn create a magical backdrop for taking vows and celebrating with dinner and drinks. Even the hotel's restaurant, Montagu’s Mews, can be booked to host larger groups for sit-down meals or drinks receptions. Should you need any more space, a marquee on the lawn can be set up if you've booked the hotel for exclusive use.
