\u201cJames seemingly had this planned for months. We were on holidays in Spain with my mum and dad. After dinner a few days into our holiday, my mum and dad both said they were tired and were having an early night. We decided to go out for a few drinks by ourselves and walked along the beach to my favourite bar. Whilst walking on the sand James stopped, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. We continued towards the bar and were greeted by my mum and dad and a few bottles of champagne to cheers our happy news.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came to the\u00a0Hillgrove Hotel<\/a>\u00a0because they were holding a wedding fayre and as soon as I stepped inside, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. We didn’t need to look any further. I loved how vibrant and welcoming the hotel felt. It gave us multiple excuses to go down and visit – it\u2019s super child-friendly so my three nieces and my nephew always begged to come along! I think they loved it as much as we did, not to mention the delicious food. The lights, the chairs, the d\u00e9cor, everything about the Hillgrove screamed YES to me. I was sold!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat impressed us most about the Hillgrove was their attention to detail. Everything was very elegant and beautifully laid out. During the lead up to the wedding our coordinator, Mary, sent me emails to remind me to do certain things. It relieved my stress levels, in fact I wasn\u2019t stressed at all whilst planning our wedding! It all went so smoothly and everything was perfectly timed. We hired a red Mustang as our wedding car and the Hillgrove Hotel\u2019s doors open fully to allow the car to park inside the lobby area. Mary kept me updated and told me where to go and what to do throughout the day, it was brilliant and I felt like a princess. I could fault nothing. Mary and the team were so helpful and couldn\u2019t do enough, she really was a god send!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nThe Photographer<\/h2>\n
