100 cries of 'I do'

The scene of a wedding should have grandeur, glamour and romance; all the things memories are made of. Look no further than The Nottingham Belfry.

The hotel has been licensed to host civil weddings in our four star function suites, and you couldn't hope for a better setting.

You don't need a big guest list to have a big day, so whether there are 4 of you or 200, your ceremony will be simply beautiful. A day to remember for all time, from the bride's grand entrance to the exchange of your rings.

After your ceremony, you can have your reception drinks served on our extensive lawns and use the backdrop of this design-led hotel as a stunning frame for your pictures. The nearby countryside that inspired DH Lawrence's novels adds a grand sense of occasion. Ask your wife to be if she's read Lady Chatterley's Lover. No reason. And, of course, we can host your reception too, whether it's a low-key dinner or an all-out knees up.

Your wedding planner will help you co-ordinate everything and will tailor every moment of your day so it's just the way you've always imagined it would be, from the flowers, to the photos to cutting the cake and throwing the bouquet.
