Lauren’s our dedicated Wedding Coordinator and having worked in hospitality for several years, she certainly knows a thing or two about weddings. As well as studying Hospitality Management at university, Lauren’s also helped many friends and family with all aspects of their wedding planning and we think her calligraphy and crafty skills can’t be beaten. Let’s hear a little more from the lady herself… What is the best thing about working as a wedding coordinator? It’s definitely got to be getting to know your couples as more than just a bride and groom and of course seeing their wedding day vision come to life. What’s been your favourite wedding day at Peebles Hydro so far? Christie and Andrew, they married on 7th March 2020 and were our last wedding before lockdown. They were really organised and just a lovely couple – they seemed so in-love and it was just really nice to see them finally tie the knot and congratulate them as Mr and Mrs Reid. What’s the most romantic request you’ve had from a customer? Definitely Andy’s proposal to Sas in November. Andy had planned a lovely relaxing time for Sas – a spa treatment in our Peebles Hydro Spa whilst we secretly organised the best place for the piper to play some of her favourite songs and for him to get down on one knee to pop the question! Little did she know, I was hiding in the bushes taking photos (as you do!) and a video of their special moment. They had such a beautiful day in the last of our November sunshine, before heading to the 1881 Distillery for their Gin Distilling Experience. I’d definitely recommend couples give this a go. What is your favourite part of a wedding? Definitely congratulating the bride and groom with a glass of fizz when they’re finally married and their excitement and “I can’t believe we’re married” faces as they come out of their ceremony room.
