Stoke By Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa

The grand surrounds and multi-faceted spaces of Stoke by Nayland ensure weddings at this hotel, golf club and spa can be nothing other than seriously impressive. With over 45 years of experience in providing couples with the space to host their special days, you’re in safe hands when it comes to the staff here. There’s a dedicated wedding planning team on site who will help you carefully put into place every last detail you want for your wedding. From the perfect chairs to just the right colour of flowers, nothing is too big or too small for the team to advise on.

In the main hotel there are four different function suites to choose from, allowing you to host anything from a small and initiate ceremony to a huge ballroom-style function for up to 300 guests. The main Devora Suite and Constable Bar combine a beautiful, clean white room for your wedding breakfast with easy access to your own bar. With windows surrounding the space and pretty chandeliers illuminating the room from above, this suite is flooded with flattering light for a bright and airy feel. Elsewhere there’s a Garden room which looks over the golf course and is perfect for ceremonies or a smaller wedding feast. Slightly offset from the larger hotel building, the Honey Tye is a mini barn set out in the venue’s Country Lodge, which has beautiful wooden beams and can host up to 60 guests. Alternatively, couples are welcome to host their celebration in a tepee on site, to allow you to truly make the most of the stunning grounds.

When it comes to the food and drink at your wedding (naturally, our favourite bit aside from the ‘I dos’) your menu will be overseen by the award-winning kitchen team. Start with a selection of your favourite canapes before tucking into a sumptuous wedding breakfast. For something a little different there’s also the option to put on a buffet and barbecue, and the executive chef is on hand to offer advice or design a menu for you on a bespoke basis.
