We had our wedding at Addington Palace at the beginning of the month and have to say it was truly amazing. Craig and his team were fantastic not just on the day but in the months leading up to the wedding. Their experience helped us plan for the wedding and they came up with many points we had not even considered. The staff were so professional and helpful on the day and our suppliers tell us they had an easy time making sure decorations and placements were all exactly as we wanted. The venue is stunning and all our guests fell in love with it. Because it is grand inside with the furniture, chandeliers, silk gold wallpaper etc, you only really need to decorate the main hall and the ceremony room and even then you only really need flowers. The food was fantastic and huge portions to everyone's delight. Seriously, hats off to the caterers, really delicious food. There are certain rules around health and safety which means you cannot have everything you want (like real lit candles, confetti indoors) but this is expected in a venue like this so please discuss with the team there early on what you can and cannot have to ensure you are not disappointed.. A note of caution, it is not the cheapest venue to have a wedding, however, having, looked at other similar venues where you get full exclusive use, it is very comparable cost-wise. The key
