Emily & Ritchie's Wedding Story
Even though you may not know one end of a golf club from the other, it could be well worth while considering the Cotswolds Hotel, Chipping Norton if you are planning an Oxfordshire wedding. Emily and Ritchie’s church ceremony was in Oxford City but they hired an exclusive London red double decker bus to transport family and friends to this excellent countryside wedding venue for their lively summer celebrations.
There has been a golf course at Chipping Norton since 1890. The first course was on Chipping Norton Common and it moved to its present location in 1907. The hotel is a new addition, being built in 2017, and is now an established Cotswolds wedding venue.
Our couple chose The Marquee Ballroom which has a capacity for 250 guests. Smaller, intimate weddings can be catered for in the hotel’s restaurant or a newly-opened function room. If you choose to marry at the venue, ceremonies can take place in any of their licensed rooms.
You will see from my images that Emily and Ritchie staged an awesome fireworks display and the hotel has a dedicated terrace area where you can amaze your guests. One of the hotel’s extras is access to the Wellness Area where guests can enjoy a unique and specialised experience for face, body and nails.
Emily and Ritchie were married in Headington Quarry Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, often described as “The Village Church In The City”. It is also famously known as the church where C. S. Lewis, writer of the Narnia tales and Alice’s adventures ‘Through The Looking Glass’, worshipped for 30 years and is buried in the churchyard.
