We love hearing about what makes a great wedding venue tick! When it comes to planning a wedding, having a team of experienced experts around you is vital for making sure it all goes off without a hitch! Mercure Swindon Hotel South Marston is one of those wedding venues that has the perfect combination of a fab location and amazing staff. We caught up with Kellie, Banqueting Manager of the venue for an behind the scenes look of how it all comes together…
Mercure Swindon Hotel is a gorgeous spot. What a great location for your hotel – do your guests love where you are?
Yes, it gives the feel of a countryside location but close to Swindon! I think our guest like the countryside feel but the convenience of being near Swindon.
What do couples love most about your hotel? What makes them go “Wow”?
We have a beautiful bridal entrance at the front of the hotel that gets a lot of “wow” reactions. We also have some gorgeous wooden floors and exposed beams in our ceiling; which can give a nice rustic feel! A lot of couples comment on how friendly and professional our staff are on making sure the day goes to plan.
