Animal Fun at Weddings

At the weekend, I took time out from planning weddings to attend a family wedding as a guest. When I go to weddings as a guest, often people will ask what I do and when I say I am a wedding planner, they ask if I find it hard to switch off or if I am always evaluating the wedding. I really enjoy going to a wedding when I can blend into the background as a guest and not be running around doing lots of things!

The wedding was held at Oakfield Manor at Chester Zoo and its true, you can mix animals and weddings for those brides that love animals and are looking for a unique venue. We were transported in an open top heritage bus from the Doubletree by Hilton Chester to the zoo.

Here are a few photos:

Open top heritage bus is great for short journeys to a wedding venue:

Oakfield Manor at Chester Zoo is suitable for smaller weddings and can accommodate 45 guests for a civil ceremony with more guests for the evening reception.

Doubletree by Hilton Chester is a beautifully restored 18th century manor house set in five acres of landscaped gardens. The hotel offers modern comforts and conveniences with traditional styling and décor and will have a luxury spa opening in the autumn.
