Cheshire venue rates love for blooming business

LOVE is proving to be the winning ingredient as one of Chester’s leading hospitality and leisure establishments celebrates record numbers for romantically connected business.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Chester has fast become a leading wedding and romance destination for the North West. It has been the location for 42 engagements in 2011 and has received more than 70 wedding enquiries since January 4, 2012.

The establishment’s adjoining luxury spa venue, the Club and Spa at Hoole Hall, has also seen a rise in ‘couple’s spend’ with a 30 percentage increase in couple’s treatments compared to January 2011.  

DoubleTree by Hilton Chester Events and Conference Manager Pauline Downing says: “We assisted with more than forty engagements within the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill and Club and Spa facilities throughout last year. This figure proves that couples are still willing to spend on weddings and romantic gestures despite the economic climate.

“Our experienced team of professionals cater to each and every couple; whether it’s a marriage proposal in the exclusive couple’s spa suite, a romantic weekend away or the wedding day of your dreams.”

Set on the outskirts of historic Chester and surrounded by 12 acres of landscaped gardens, the elegant DoubleTree by Hilton Chester hotel provides luxurious facilities ideal for any romantic occasion.

This carefully restored 18th century manor house beautifully combines the past and the present, offering luxurious accommodation with contemporary styling and decor.

An outstanding wedding venue, DoubleTree offers a variety of options for civil ceremonies and partnerships ranging from the enchanting Pagoda to take your intimate vows, the traditional Abbey suite - a spectacular converted stable barn - and the modern Ballroom to cater for larger numbers. 

The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill provides the perfect intimate environment for a romantic evening meal with lovely views, exquisite food and delicious cocktails.

Located at the edge of the private and secluded Victorian walled garden the Club and Spa at Hoole Hall is the ultimate romantic retreat. The private couple’s suite provides facilities for an indulgent experience, with private sauna, shower and Jacuzzi over looking the idyllic grounds. A range of treatments specifically tailored to couples are also available and can be taken together in the duo treatment rooms.
