Down Hall shortlisted for prestigious wedding award

Jan. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- As one of Hertfordshire’s leading wedding venues, Down Hall offers a variety of wedding packages - and Wedding Co-ordinator Anna Oliver said she was thrilled to learn the hotel had been shortlisted.

“The awards are the UK’s only consumer wedding awards,” she said. “They are voted for by readers of the country’s best-selling monthly wedding title, so it is a great accolade to have been shortlisted and a real tribute to the team here.

“We aim to make every Down Hall wedding special and are lucky that we are surrounded by 110 acres of stunning parkland, woodland and landscaped gardens which make the perfect backdrop.

“The hotel itself is very romantic, dating back from the 16th century with high ceilings and very ornate décor.  So whatever type of wedding someone might choose to have, at whatever time of the year, we are proud to be able to guarantee an unforgettable day.”

Down Hall beat off stiff competition with a record number of 8,000 nominations made for the 16 award categories. Wedding Ideas magazine editor Rachel Morgan said: “The awards will see the crème de la crème of the UK's wedding industry honoured for their work with real-life brides – the people who matter!

“We are especially delighted that these people have been recognised for their brilliance in these tough times, especially considering just how many nominations we had this year. We send our congratulations to Down Hall.”

The winners will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony in London on  January 14 hosted by TV presenter Jenni Falconer with entertainment by Andy Abraham.  They will also be featured in a Wedding Ideas Awards special issue, which goes on sale from January 26.

Down Hall Country House Hotel is situated 15 minutes from Stansted and 30 minutes from central London. The hotel has 99 bedrooms along with a swimming pool and other leisure facilities. Visit www.downhall.co.uk for further information.
