A four-day Wedding Celebration in London, Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons and the Cotswolds

Arrival at Claridge’s and Welcome Dinner at China Tang

A few months ago, our luxury wedding planners had the pleasure of organising an extraordinary wedding over four days across London and Oxford for 50 VIP guests flying from the US. 

Upon their arrival, guests were invited to settle at the famed Claridge’s London. A hallmark of timeless glamour in Mayfair, Claridge’s is renowned for its opulent suites, acclaimed dining and refined rituals.

When the evening came, a grand welcome dinner saw the guests gather at China Tang at The Dorchester, for one of the finest Cantonese dining experiences followed by evening festivities. As the epitome of art deco elegance, China Tang is an iconic London dining destination, offering praised authentic Chinese food in a highly glamorous and flamboyant setting.

Rehearsal Dinner at The Folly

On Friday night, a spectacular rehearsal dinner was planned at The Folly in Oxford, where guests arrived by boat following a stunning river cruise during which they sipped on Champagne. 

A unique riverside restaurant in the heart of Oxford, The Folly is renowned for its selection of fresh seasonal ingredients and its sun-soaked terrace floating on the River Thames. Whether an engagement celebration, private dinner or a cocktail party in the sun, The Folly is a magnificent spot, even more splendid when the sun sets.

Saturday Lunch at the Fat Duck, and Activities at Le Manoir

On Saturday, our luxury party planners arranged for the guests to be transported from London to Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, where the wedding celebrations would take place, via Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck restaurant for an unforgettable lunch. Serving perfectly executed delectable one-of-a-kind dishes, the Fat Duck offers a distinctive multisensory gastronomic experience which takes their guests on an extraordinary emotional journey down memory lane. 

After lunch, guests took part in some playful activities at Le Manoir, including a floral masterclass, clay pigeon shooting and a tour of the breathtaking Le Manoir grounds and gardens. Falconers, hot air ballooning over Oxford or punting on the river. Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons offers a plethora of exciting outdoors activities to entertain guests in its magical setting.
