South West Wedding Awards 2019 Finalist

Friday 25th January, 2019|Category: News

We are delighted to be finalists in the South West Wedding Awards, the most prestigious wedding awards in the region. We were shortlisted along with four other establishments in the South West for the award of Wedding Venue – Town. Congratulations to the winner of this category, China Fleet Country Club! We are honoured to be recognised amongst the best wedding venues in the region. This competitive category saw nominees stretching from Cornwall to Gloucester, it truly is a proud achievement to reach the finals.

Thank you to the South West Wedding Awards for putting on such a great show. The glitzy ceremony, which took place at the Crowne Plaza hotel near Plymouth Hoe, brought together wedding industry professionals and celebrated excellence across a wide spectrum of wedding-related services. The event saw awards dished out to businesses in fields that included entertainment, photography and cake design.

Wedding Coordinator at The Duke of Cornwall Toni Sharpe was delighted that the hotel has been recognised once again as one of the region’s top choices for couples planning their big day. Toni said:

“To make the finals at the South West Wedding Awards 2019 was such an honour. It’s a credit to the hotel and the dedicated team for their hard work, attention to detail and dedication to make every wedding day perfect.”

We are proud of our status as a premier wedding venue and believe that a combination of qualities make the hotel stand out. When asked what makes the Duke deviate from its competitors, Toni added:

“The hotel offers a flexible range of luxury wedding packages, with features that include fine dining, a red-carpet entrance and a Master of Ceremonies to make your big day run smoothly. From the warm welcome on arrival, to the grand decor and stunning honeymoon suites, the Duke offers a magical wedding day in an iconic location. For a venue with everything you need for an unforgettably magical day, the Duke of Cornwall Hotel is the perfect choice.”

We look forward to helping make dreams come true for the couples yet to experience the Duke’s magic as we continue to work hard to be the best in the future. Here are a selection of images from our stylised wedding photo shoots, showing the endless possibilities with a wedding at the hotel.
