Make the first steps to planning your dream day.

The ballroom will be styled for your banquet using our silver candelabras including candles, table mirrors, tall vases with linen floral displays. The chairs will be fitted with white covers and ivory sashes. A fairy lit backdrop will be installed behind the top table to provide that special day effect. Your menu will be designed with our executive chef after you have enjoyed your tasting menu.

We will detail and agree the full serving plan for your wedding banquet and incorporate any individual requests as required such as vegetarian, coeliac or other special dietary needs. We will professionally serve wine and champagne be it yours or ours to your guests if required. We will provide late night food for your guests and we offer a complimentary bar extension so that you and your guests can dance the night away. You will enjoy the complimentary use of the bridal suite along with two additional double rooms for the wedding night. The Walter Raleigh Hotel is a family run hotel and we welcome children of all ages.
