We really don’t know where to start; we have so much gratitude and love for The King Arthur Hotel! It all began when we booked a viewing with the wonderful wedding team. As soon as we walked around the venue, we knew this was where we were going to get married. It was the first and only venue we viewed! As we explored, we fell in love; it had that homely, rustic yet modern feeling, with amazing beams and gardens that felt so special. We were greeted by the absolutely amazing Annelise, who showed us around and truly made the viewing and booking process special! We were treated with the utmost respect and appreciation and just knew that if we got married here, the whole wedding planning process would be calm and exciting. This was because the King Arthur wedding team put us completely at ease and offered so much support, even at the beginning. We booked the wedding to take place in six months, which is quite a quick turnaround, but we never felt rushed or unorganized. We had multiple meetings with the wonderful Jo and Annelise, who really eased our minds and took so much of the burden of wedding planning off us.
I’m a really organized and strategic person, which can sometimes cause unnecessary stress, but any stress I felt melted away when I met with one of the wedding coordinators; they made me feel completely in control and calm. I could not have done this without them—they are a true credit to the King Arthur and to the success of the weddings that take place there. The King Arthur began to feel like home because of the wonderful staff; they truly made us feel part of something special.
Now, onto the big day! The day before, I was starting to panic, but as soon as I met with our wedding coordinator Annelise, all my worries melted away. She really has a way of calming you and making you feel like you’re doing a great job. I say this with complete gratitude—everyone needs an Annelise as part of their wedding! I really would not have gotten through the day with such ease without her organization, reassurance, and ability to make us feel completely at ease. Annelise coordinated all the vendors in the morning, alleviating any burden from Luke and me. She was there every step of the way, calming us, ensuring we were hydrated (both with water and drinks of our choice), and allowing us as the bride and groom time to be with one another during what is a very busy day—Annelise, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
A massive thank you to all the staff on the day, as they made us feel supported and special; we are so grateful to each and every one of you! The food was outstanding! Everyone raved about how delicious it was, and it exceeded our expectations. The chefs went the extra mile after a disaster with transporting our cake; they deconstructed it and put it all back together as if nothing had gone wrong. What should have been a very stressful situation was handled without any hassle. I thank you again, Annelise, and a massive thank you to the chefs!
Everyone was in awe of how amazing the venue was and how it created the perfect space to celebrate our day. My cousin, who is an architect, couldn’t get over how wonderful the building was and how the layout is just perfect for this occasion. We were surrounded by natural beauty, which made an amazing backdrop for all our photos. We’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful area! After having some incredible photos taken at Rhossili, we returned to a beautiful evening party, where the music kept everyone on the dance floor, thanks to Justin the DJ at the King Arthur! He read the room so well and created the best atmosphere for the evening. I honestly could not have wished for more; it was the best night!
The King Arthur is a magical place that we can return to whenever we want, where we feel welcomed by all the staff and reminded of our amazing day. We feel like we are part of the King Arthur now, thanks to the welcoming and caring nature of the amazing people who work there. We wish we could do the day all over again!
