Weddings at The Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel

Wanting to create an impact for our photoshoot, Wedding Coordinator Sophie did a fantastic job organising the hotel ready for our arrival, ensuring we had a successful day exploring the benefits of the hotel.

Claire from The Creative Venue was booked to dress the Parkside Suite and Park Avenue rooms for a Spring wedding and I'm sure you can agree what a beautiful job she did.

The Park Avenue Suite at Mercure Tunbridge Wells

The Park Avenue Suite is the most popular ceremony room at The Mercure Hotel Tunbridge Wells and sits in the original Georgian Dower House area of the hotel. The arched windows are a much loved feature of the room and make a lovely unique backdrop for couples when saying they vows.

The Creative Venue had dressed the room for our professional photoshoot with a light and airy Spring theme and it really did look beautiful. Claire invested so much detail and precision with her work that it certainly didn't go unnoticed.

In the Park Avenue Suite, pink chair sashes were adorned with pearl cluster brooches, magnificent floral centrepieces stood proudly either side of the alter and delicate floating candles dancing in rustic lanterns. If you are looking for a company to dress your Kent wedding venue, be sure to give Claire a call.

With beautiful soft ceiling drapes, The Parkside Suite had also been transformed into a perfect Spring wedding reception venue. With rustic elements added to each table and sage green chair covers affixed with pearls, the theme was elegant and graceful; perfectly in keeping with the natural decor of the room.

The grande floral centrepieces featured yellow tulips, a colour that was echoed throughout the room with candles in such a delicate yet inviting way. Claire from The Creative Venue had truly worked her magic and It was a delight to be welcomed into such an inviting atmosphere.

If you are looking for a Kent Wedding Venue, The Mercure Hotel Tunbridge Wells is a really fantastic space to consider. With capacity to host up to 150 guests the Parkside Suite is an extremely versatile room with the benefits of a private bar, toilets and a well maintained garden too offering additional space for your wedding guests to enjoy.

Although there are many hotel wedding venues in Kent, The Mercure Hotel has received a number of awards for their hard work and high levels of customer service over recent years. Coming second in Kent Wedding venue of the year (losing only to Leeds Castle) is a fantastic achievement for the team and we certainly feel that the Mercure Hotel has so much to offer for couples looking to get married in Kent and to so many others.

The Mallows Restaurant offers food of fantastic quality and a wide range of choice, so if you are looking to dine in Tunbridge Wells take a look at their latest menu. Popular with locals alongside guests of the hotel, the restaurant is often booked well in advance, often hosting families for small gatherings and Sunday lunches.

The lounge and terrace areas also both make perfect locations to enjoy a drink with friends and the Lily Pond is a little hidden gem within the grounds that looks fantastic when in bloom.

4* Hotel in Kent

As we were visiting to create new marketing content for the whole of the hotel, we took the opportunity to capture a range of the photographs of different suites and ensuite bedrooms available. Some rooms have been modernised more than others, but I love the blend of the traditional elements throughout the hotel as it really brings character and a nod to the hotels 18th century roots.

Each room is designed differently enabling each one to have its personality; for example one Suite features a light floral duck egg wallpaper alongside oak furniture for a serene vibe, whereas another, that is often used as the bridal suite, is a decorated in deep reds and gold giving a grande feel to visitors. Rest assured whichever room you stay in, the space will be clean and comfort a priority, the beds are fantastic and each room has tea and coffee making facilities.

The Mercure Tunbridge Wells Leisure Club

Hotel guests can enjoy a dip in the pool, a visit to the sauna or even book in a beauty treatment at the Kaya Beauty Studio. With the impressive vaulted ceiling and view out to the sunlounger flanked patio, the leisure club is a great place to relax and unwind, especially in the summer months.

Corporate Meeting Venue In Kent

Whilst visiting The Mercure Hotel Tunbridge Wells, we also photographed a number of areas of the hotel, including a selection of the different room types they have to offer for those looking to host corporate meetings and events. Each space is extremely versatile offering flexibility to guests in search of a meeting room in Kent and the team offer fantastic customer service to all that visit. The Parkside Suite and Park Avenue rooms can also be hired, each with customisable layouts to suit professional events of all sizes.

As always I hope you have enjoyed reading our blog about our latest visit to The Mercure Hotel. If you have any questions about either our wedding or commercial photography packages, we would love to hear from you.
