With grand Victorian rooms and a beautifully appointed banqueting suite, Crieff Hydro combines the historic grandeur of a Church wedding and all the comforts of a modern hotel under one roof.

Wedding ceremonies may take place in any of the Hydro suites up to a maximum of 220 guests.

The Drawing Room: ‘Splendid, formal, opulent’ are just some of the words guests have used to describe the Drawing Room. Its grand proportions take your breath away, especially as the Bride enters to the strains of the full church organ whose golden pipes stretch to the high ceiling. Choose the Drawing Room for your ceremony or wedding breakfast, you receive the Ferntower Suite for your evening reception free of charge – a £800 saving and the convenience two rooms. The Ferntower Suite: An open and light room with a wonderfully classic but neutral décor: the perfect backdrop to the theme of any wedding. The suite has a main function room with a conservatory and fully stocked bar leading off - both are great spaces for your guests to mingle. The Ferntower Suite is ideally suited to wedding breakfasts and the celebrations afterwards with many lighting options and air-conditioning to ensure the comfort of your guests The Loggia: Stunning views over the grounds, hills and surrounding countryside make this room an exceptional setting for drinks or smaller wedding ceremonies. Although it may be hard to tear your eyes away from the outlook, when you do you will find the soft colourings and atmospheric lighting are elegant and refined. The Ballroom: The heart of the hotel in so many ways - it’s where everyone gathers for celebrations year after year. You might reserve a portion of the magnificent space for drinks if the weather is inclement or receive congratulations from your guests as they make their way to your wedding breakfast. The Drummond Room: For anyone looking for an intimate, modern feel to their wedding then the Drummond Suite could be the solution. Wooden floors, tall windows and private bar make this a popular spacious and light room.

SOME NOTES FOR YOUR GUIDANCE Step One Obtain a ‘Marriage Notice’. This is available at any registrar’s office in Scotland. You

can also download a notice at www.gro-scotland.gov.uk. Both Bride and groom need a form. The local registrar’s office for Crieff Hydro is in Perth, Telephone 01738 475122

Step Two Fill the forms in 4-6 weeks before the wedding and no later than 15 days before. Step Three Take the completed forms and the birth certificates of both the Bride and groom to the

registrar’s office in the district where you are to marry. NB If you have been married before you will need proof that the former marriage has ended; either a divorce decree or the death certificate of your former spouse will be required. Once the Registrar is satisfied there is no legal impediment to the marriage, a marriage schedule will be prepared.

Step Four If your marriage is to be conducted by a marriage celebrant, collect the schedule within 7

days of the wedding. If the registrar is to conduct the ceremony he will retain the schedule but you will still need to return to check that all is in order. NB only the Bride or groom can collect the schedule.

Step Five Immediately after the ceremony, the schedule must be completed and signed by both Bride and Groom, the person who solemnised the marriage, and two

witnesses who must be 16 years or over. Step Six Within 3 days of the ceremony, return the completed schedule to the registrar’s office so that the marriage can be registered. You will then receive that important document – your Marriage Certificate.

The first step in booking your venue is to visit Crieff Hydro, to meet our wedding co-ordinator and decide if the ambience is right for your wedding. Once you have chosen your date you may provisionally hold this for a period of 14 days with no obligation. Crieff Hydro will send you contract along with its terms & conditions. To secure the booking, a non-refundable deposit of £500 is required along with a letter of confirmation and a copy of a signed contract. Many Brides and Grooms like to organise the details well in advance but if not our wedding coordinator will arrange an appointment about 3 months before your wedding date. At this meeting we will finalise all food and timings plus your menu and drinks packages. Following this meeting we will be able to provide a complete outline cost for your wedding. Four weeks before your wedding, a pro-forma invoice will be issued; this will detail all aspects of your wedding which Crieff Hydro is helping you to organize such as your menu, room hire (if required), flowers, pre-ordered drinks and anything else you need to make your occasion memorable.. We ask you to pay this invoice at least two weeks prior to the event. If there are any additional costs we will send on details, a few days after the wedding and you can settle these after your honeymoon. All prices enclosed are for the year 2012. Minimum menu and drinks package spend of £54.50 for all adult guests (£7.95 for all evening guests). Prices for weddings in 2012 onwards are subject to change so please allow for an increase for subsequent years when you are planning your budget as these prices will not change once you have confirmed all details and signed your contract.

Crieff Hydro will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that you are the only formal Bride, but cannot guarantee against the unlikely event that that another small wedding party may have made an individual restaurant booking, without function requirements.
