First wedding of 2012! (Katrina & Paul)



Guest Blog from our Wedding Co-ordinator – Hannah Cox

Katrina & PaulWith the first wedding of 2012 been and gone I thought I’d share the event to give you an insight of the preparation that goes into making weddings at the hotel go as smoothly as possible.

Final preparations for the wedding started the week before the big day as I met with Paul and Katrina to finalise the fine detail checking, double checking and triple checking all aspects from the right colours for the day, times and finalising numbers. This way everything would be perfect for when the guests arrived with no last minute running around.

Paul & Katrina came across as a relaxed, calm and very happy couple! Just what I like to keep me feeling at ease for the big day!

The bulk of the preparation started on Friday the 13th… unlucky for some, but for us at the hotel no problems at all! Just a whole lot of ironing of the chair bows and table runners for the team and laying up the dining room with the ivory banquet clothes.

Early start for me on the big day (couldn’t sleep) as I wanted to get everything done as best I can for the lucky Bride & Groom. Don’t know who was more nervous… them or me!???

The hotel had a great buzz in the morning with Simon doing the flower arrangements for the tables & pedestals for the ceremony room, Tracy from Floatation’s Balloons with the balloons Katrina and Paul chose as part of their wedding package and me finishing putting the last chair bows and pinning the bows to the buffet table! And then finally the 3 tier off set cake stand, wrapped in a piece of satin in their colour around the cake stand and with their very unique cake topper in the top tier! I loved it!

Before we could blink the guests started arriving along with Paul who looked a little nervous but was wearing a lovely wedding suit which matched the colour scheme of the day along with his best man, it was all starting to fit together.

11am saw the arrival of Katrina the bride… on time too! (Phew!) She looked amazing in her Ivory gown. Her Bridesmaid looked fantastic along with flower girl, Grace and Page Boy, William (Katrina and Paul’s children)

After finishing laying the dining room up and replacing the chairs and bows after the ceremony my job role changed to waitress for a few hours!

The wedding breakfast went smoothly and all guests happy! Before I could finally relax we had to get the evening buffet set up downstairs! As soon as everyone had a plate of food the DJ announced the first dance for Mr and Mrs Russell.

It was a beautiful moment for everyone there, for me it was the end of a perfect day for my first wedding of 2012 at the hotel.

Katrina then surprised me by changing into a new gown for the rest of the evening reception. She looked great!

9.00pm saw me clocking off but what a fantastic day it turned out to be!

It was a lovely day for many reasons…

Katrina and Paul have become Man and Wife after 9 years together.
My first official wedding as Wedding Coordinator at the Giltar Hotel and it had been a beautiful day outside (although a little cold).

“Thank you Katrina and Paul for holding your wedding here at the hotel, it’s been a great pleasure organising your wedding day. On behalf of Myself and the rest of the Team here, we wish you all luck and happiness for your future together”
