@the-berkeleysettings. You can choose one or a combination for
a cocktail reception, dinner and dancing. Atmos-
phere comes guaranteed. The Berkeley is licensed
to hold wedding ceremonies and civil partner-
ships – and since they never hold more than one
event each day, your wedding has the undivided
attention of the team. That extends to your
guests, who will enjoy specially reduced room
rates. If your party exceeds 50, you will enjoy a
complimentary suite on your wedding night.BERKELEY BRIDES
Book your wedding at The Berkeley or a stay in
a Chelsea Suite and you can add five-star luxury
to that most important ritual with a personal
consultation with bridal couturier Phillipa
Lepley. Meet Phillipa over Prêt-à-Portea, before
being chauffeur-driven to her Chelsea atelier. If
you choose a Phillipa Lepley dress, you’ll enjoy
personal fittings with the designer herself – and
you can book your final fitting in the comfort
of your suite before the big day. Dreamy.The Berkeley pridesitself on making theimpossible possibleIt goes without saying that a wedding is a
standout day in the life of a happy couple,
their family and friends. And memories will
endure in all the more colourful detail if the big
day resoundingly reflects the romantic story,
personalities and dreams of the bride and groom.
That’s where expert planning comes to the fore.
Whatever the bride longs for, whatever her
fairytale vision, The Berkeley can turn into
reality. The events team prides itself on making
the impossible utterly, magically, possible.
The fear of overlooking important bespoke
details gives many brides-to-be and their
mothers sleepless nights. Working alongside The
Berkeley’s wedding planner Matthew Saunders
allays all such concerns. He believes the business
of planning everything down to the last canapé
should be a romantic journey in itself. On hand
to help you organise everything from the flowers
to the cake, Matthew reminds you of the fun to
be had in fine-tuning the tiniest details, such as
an embroidered monogram on the weddingdress, bespoke presents for the bridal party or a
special menu to suit the father of the bride. This
leaves the soon-to-be-married couple time to
make the most of the nine weeks of
complimentary use of the Health Club & Spa
included in the Cloud 9 offer (think manicures
and pedicures, plus a make-up artist and hair
stylist to work their magic in the serenity of your
private bridal suite).STYLISH SETTING
