I’m getting married in… The Toorak Hotel

Nigel Beck — Mon, 10 May 2010 14:30:12 +0000

Several up Brides-to-be have decided to do just that, having visited the recent 2010 Wedding Fair at the Toorak Hotel, Torquay, Devon. The wedding fair showcased all that the venue has to offer for the big day, demonstrating just what makes the venue one of the top hotels in Devon. Along with its sister hotels the Carlton Hotel & Spa and Victoria Hotel, the Toorak is a licensed venue for wedding ceremonies and also has a range of function rooms to suit all occasions.

Weddings at the Toorak Hotel, Torquay

One Stop Shop
It really was a one stop shop for the bride planning everything she needs to make her special day everything she hopes it to be. There were companies showing their wares – everything from Bridal wear, Lingerie and men’s hire to room decoration, cakes, stationery, chair covers, photography, cars, dance teachers (for that 1st dance), table decorations, and wedding planner – to name but a few. Live music was provided by Keedie Babb, locally renown opera singer and also by a ladies harmony group.

Toorak hotel head chef Nick Coombes showcased ‘food ideas for your wedding breakfast’ and taster samples were very popular and well recieved.

Perfect Partnership
Also supporting the event was Torre Abbey who the Toorak Hotel work very closely with. Torre Abbey is such a unique and picturesque venue at which to hold your wedding ceremony, with the Toorak Hotel ideally situated just opposite ready to host your reception. All in all a perfect partnership!

The Perfect Match at Torquay Wedding Fair

Lots of Choice

Wedding fairs were few and far between when I tied the knot. How useful it would have been to see venues, dresses, flowers and photographers all under one roof.

These days there is much more choice and plenty of wedding fairs to visit to help you plan. If you’re getting married next year and still aren’t sure where to book, what sort of flowers you want, or which photographer will produce something worthy of Hello! then you need to come to the Toorak Hotel Wedding Fair on Sunday 2^nd May.

Perfect Match

In a new departure, Torre Abbey will be exhibiting at the fair and will be encouraging visitors to pop across the road for a tour. Complimentary tickets will be available on the day to any prospective brides. The Abbey and the Toorak make the perfect match in that they can combine an unusual historic venue for a civil ceremony or drinks reception with superb catering facilities.

As well as the Toorak and Torre Abbey, visitors will have chance to see the Carlton and Victoria Hotels, the other wedding venues within the TLH Leisure Resort group.

Keedie to Sing

Keedie Babb, local soprano vocalist, will be performing at intervals throughout the day and there’s a chance to win an Aztec All About You Spa day. Entry is free and with cream teas, food tastings and other refreshments on offer it will be a lovely way to spend a few hours on a Bank Holiday weekend.
