What’s the prize?
The overall winners will not only claim the Wedding of the Year title and enjoy seeing their big day featured in An Essex Wedding, they'll also win a romantic two-night break at Stoke By Nayland Hotel Golf & Spa.
Set within 300 acres of countryside and with 80 contemporary bedrooms, two championship golf courses and a spa, the hotel is ideal for both hen parties and newlyweds alike. The state-of-the-art spa has a range of treatments available, including the popular Rasoul Egyptian Mud Therapy Experience.
The hotel is also opening five luxury Country Lodges in April this year, located on the estate. Overlooking a large lake and rolling countryside, the self-catered, serviced lodges will have a iroko wood exterior with cedar wood roof tiles, while the stylish interiors will be inspired by the 1940s and furnished to a high standard. Sleeping from two to 10 guests, ideal for large family wedding parties, guests will be able to make full use of the Stoke by Nayland facilities.
With a plethora of stunning banqueting suites, the hotel can also cater to both small and large weddings of up to 280 guests. With a licence for civil ceremonies, the rooms offer newlyweds private terraces and views over the lake - ideal for memorable wedding snaps.
