WED D INGS
WEDDINGS AT LONDON SYON PARK Spend your perfect day in a truly magical place with two hundred acres of idyllic parkland, the 400 year old playground of the Duke of Northumberland provides a lush background for legendary Waldorf Astoria hospitality. Only seven miles from the heart of London yet a world away, London Syon Park is the place to unwind in true natural beauty. Leave everything behind in Kallima, the hotel spa, or spoil yourself with an ice cream sundae in Brownie’s. Satisfy your intemperate thirst in Peacock Alley, the hotel’s Martini Bar or savour the best of seasonal offerings in The Capability, where landscape cooking is brought to life with the finest ingredients grown in the restaurant’s kitchen garden. Relax in one of the 137 elegantly modern rooms and suites, or make the entire Clubhouse all your own. But why be limited to only one day? Make it a wedding weekend. The Clubhouse is the headquarters for friends and family and a great space to make your own. Start your celebrations with pampering at Kallima followed by a deliciously elegant rehearsal dinner in The Capability. And afterwards, the gents can take over The Duke’s Parlour for an evening of bachelor bonding, pool and 3D TV.

STATIONERS Getting married requires great organisation. On the face of it, it seems quite simple and straightforward. You meet who you think is the right person; you both agree this is the start of a wonderful life together and your mind leaps forward to the moment the wedding is over and you’re relaxing as man and wife. But, this is just the beginning. Once you have decided when and where you will be married and where the reception will be and invites have been sent, it will be time to think about service sheets, menus and place cards. We would like to recommend the following stationery designers to add a touch of something special to your wedding.
