Many couples booking a spring wedding will be hopeful for good weather. A time associated with sunshine, blooming flowers, and blue skies. But alas, we do live in Great Britain after all. My spring wedding was as grey as it gets with rain to go with it, while my sister’s spring wedding was a heatwave – she didn’t think those fur boleros through for the bridesmaids I tell you! It goes to show, you really can’t predict the weather, but you can plan for it.
When scouring the region for your big-day venue, yes you may have dreams for an al fresco wedding, guests sitting outside, a green grass aisle as you walk to your betrothed, but Wedding Planning 101 advises to always have a contingency plan. A question for any potential venue you set your heart on.
This issue, we showcase some stellar venues in Reigate, Redhill and Tandridge and venues with a sporting theme, and we also have lots more Q&As from our experts over in Hot Topic and Fashion and Beauty Q&A. To be honest, the whole issue is brimming with advice, top tips, and inspiration so get reading!

Foxhills Country Club & Resort
A stunning 400-acre estate nestled in the heart of the Surrey countryside, Foxhills is a 19th-century manor house providing a picture-perfect backdrop. With its quintessentially English design, the historical building has been beautifully maintained to provide a luxurious and elegant setting.
The house radiates an abundance of character and charm, while guests have the opportunity to savour the serenity of the gardens and take in the breathtaking views of the countryside.
The venue features spacious and beautifully decorated event rooms that can accommodate large or intimate ceremonies and receptions. The décor is sophisticated yet inviting, with soft lighting and tasteful floral arrangements that create a romantic ambience.
For vows, the Orangery is simply stunning, a bright, elegant, romantic space with floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for intimate ‘I dos’ and wedding breakfasts with up to 45 guests. It has direct access to the lawns.
The Fox dining rooms and the manor Lounge bar. The Library, a contemporary space for up to 66 guests for the reception and 100 for the ceremony, is one of the venue’s most flexible event spaces while the largest is The Clubhouse. Holding up to 180 guests for the ceremony and reception, it has an exclusive bar, built-in dancefloor and large, private terrace.
If you’re looking to say your vows al fresco, you can do so in the charming gazebo on the tranquil Manor Lawns. Catering for up to 150 guests, the 19th-century manor provides a spectacular backdrop with views across the estate.
When tying the knot here, you’ll benefit from a dedicated toastmaster for the formal proceedings, the opportunity for a menu tasting and a red-carpet welcome. What’s more, you’ll be treated to two nights in a romantic and elegant two-floor Deluxe Suite the night before and day of your wedding.

As your 2025 wedding day approaches and the big elements are secured, from venue and dress to guest list, there will still be a number of important details to manage in those final weeks.
