A WOODHALL SPA WEDDING AT THE DOWER HOUSE

A Wedding Day Breakdown

So what’s it really like having a Woodhall Spa wedding at Dower House Hotel?

Well as a wedding photographer with over 17 years experience there are many wedding venues that stand out from the crowd and this is one of them. From the character of the building and the photographic opportunities within the fantastic outside space and surrounding woodland, there are so many options available to create wonderful images along with amazing memories.

Every time I have photographed a couple’s wedding here the staff have always been attentive to their guests and provided a great experience.

Here’s a little overview of what it’s like to get married there…

Getting Ready

Getting ready at The Dower House Hotel offers a charming and intimate setting for the beginning of your Woodhall Spa wedding journey. The hotel's picturesque surroundings and elegant rooms provide a delightful backdrop for capturing candid and heartfelt moments as you and your loved ones prepare for the celebration. From the soft natural light filtering through the windows to the tasteful décor, every detail at The Dower House Hotel creates an atmosphere of warmth and anticipation, setting the stage for a memorable wedding day.

As a wedding photographer, I have a keen eye for capturing the authentic emotions and intricate details that make your wedding day unique. From the bridal party getting their hair and makeup done to the quiet moments of reflection, it is one of my favourite parts of the day to photograph. With artistic vision you can have images that capture the essence and beauty of your wedding day, creating a collection of photographs that truly reflect the joy and love shared on this special occasion.

The Wedding Ceremony

Whether it’s a wedding ceremony inside of in the wonderful grounds you won’t be disappointed as this charming venue offers a romantic and intimate setting for exchanging your vows. The hotel's elegant architecture, lush gardens, and tranquil atmosphere create an idyllic backdrop for your ceremony, evoking a sense of timeless beauty. Whether you choose to have an outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature's splendor or an indoor ceremony in one of their stunning event spaces, The Dower House Hotel provides the perfect ambiance for a heartfelt and unforgettable wedding ceremony.

What about Confetti?

This always makes for fun dramatic images on a wedding and I always recommend to brides to purchase some for their guests before the day to ensure everyone can join in the fun.

It is always best to follow the advice of the venue on this too as they may have restrictions in place.

Group Photographs

Group photos are always a great way of getting your guest together and making them feel involved with the photographs. The gardens to the Hotel and the stone folly are idea backdrops to create a good experience and great images.

Couples Portraits

I always find that when the group photographs are finished this is the ideal time to spend taking some couples photographs. It always you a little time away from your guests just for the two of you.

The Wedding Breakfast

As guests gather to celebrate the newlyweds, the reception becomes a vibrant and joyful atmosphere filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and shared moments of love. As a wedding photographer, I thrive in capturing the candid interactions, smiles, and expressions of delight as guests enjoy the wedding day speeches.

There are loads of reviews (see the section on reviews below) testifying to their commitment.

The staff at Dower House do a fantastic job and really do go out of their way to ensure your day goes without a hitch. One of the most commented things about Dower House is the outstanding food they produce for their guests.

Cutting The Wedding Cake

There are an array of fab cake makers in and around Lincolnshire and no Woodhall Spa wedding is complete without including one on your day.

Most couples choose to cut the cake just before their first dance and doing this in the largest room of Dower House is a great option as your guests will have the space to gather around and watch and then you can be straight onto the dance floor!

The Evening Reception

I always look forward to this time of the day as it provides for some great photographic opportunities. It’s usually when everyone has had a drink or two and begin to let their hair down.

In the summer months and finer weather, your guests can use both inside and outside of the hotel to mingle providing the options and space for a large number of your evening guests when they arrive.

One of the unique features is a ceiling that has hundreds of sparkling lights. This looks great when you start your first dance and when your guests get on the dance floor to boogie, a great atmosphere!

Weddings can be particularly demanding when you have many guests surrounding you wishing you well so taking the opportunity for a little time out with each other is always welcome and the venue size certainly allows for this.

I will often go on a little walking safari with my clients to embrace what the venue has to offer and to provide some stunning couples portraits with variety. Dower House Hotel certainly has the variety from the gorgeous classy interiors & private gardens to the woodland all offering something a little special for your photographs.
