Hogarths Hotel, Exclusive Hire

A huge thank you to everyone at Hogarths who were involved in the planning and delivery of our Golden Wedding anniversary event in early December. We set out with help from our Event Planner (Laura) to create something very special for around 60 guests. Laura had lots of ideas and suggestions and channelled our thoughts to create an excellent plan for a lunch time event, extended into the evening. We were able to block book bedrooms so that we and many of our guests could stay overnight. On the day, our Event Director (Jorge) welcomed us and allowed us early access to set up our balloons and photos. The room setup needed a few things tuning but nothing was too much trouble. A huge thank you to the staff for getting the Music Room to look perfect and ready for the arrival of our guests. After a drinks reception with canapes, lunch was served, followed by cutting the cake and later evening food. Laura's suggestion of including a dance floor came into its own when the adverse weather conditions prohibited the younger children from working off their excess energy outside! Jorge oversaw delivery of a high quality event and any issues were dealt with quickly, especially given the challenges in the rest of the hotel (wind damage to the roof, a tree down on the entrance road and having to cope with a large party when the marquee was not able to be used). Our guests were effusive in their praise for the room and its decor, for the quality of the food and for the friendliness of the staff, who delivered high quality service. Many of our guests stayed overnight and were delighted with their luxurious overnight accomodation and a sumptuous full English breakfast the following morning. Thank you again to the staff who we met and to all those behind the scenes who we didn't. You all made our day very special!
