W

hen it comes to planning a wedding, there
are many things to worry about. The time
of year should not be one of them. Winter
in the Midlands is beautiful, especially at Granny
Mouse Country House and Spa.

As a bride, your checklist is probably filled with
things that need your attention, so why not ask for
help from those who are good at giving it? Granny
Mouse’s trained in-house wedding planning team will
assist in making your big day a dream come true.
According to Ane du Preez, Granny Mouse
Banqueting Manager, “For winter weddings, we
suggest the wedding ceremony be held in our
beautiful and cozy country-style chapel, which
seats up to 120 people and overlooks the stunning
Caversham Valley.”
For the reception, Granny Mouse offers two main
function rooms that provide an intimate setting for
toasts, speeches, feasting, and all the fun formalities
that proceed the ceremony. Brides can choose
from the Eaves Restaurant (for smaller groups)
or the Caversham Room, which can seat up to 120
people.

For the friends and family of many couples, the
wedding food is what makes the day. The Chef at
Granny Mouse offers a wide selection of menus
tailored to suit every kind of wedding. Why not
steer towards selecting an option that includes
roast meat, casseroles, warm pastas, curries or the
like during the winter months? You could also opt
for a dessert that is warm and sweet, such as malva
pudding and custard or an oven tart that is sure to
warm guests.
The most popular wedding package at Granny
Mouse is the Emerald package – a fully inclusive
weekend wedding offering. The package is specially
designed for bridal parties that want exclusivity of
the property and includes, most notably, a tailored
food selection for Friday night dinner, Saturday and
Sunday breakfast, Saturday lunch, reception canapés
and a four-course plated meal, cheeseboard and
country wedding cake for the wedding night.
