The Spa Hotel situated in historic Tunbridge Wells is a quite beautiful venue, the grounds were fantastic for daytime photos, the staff friendly and helpful, the food divine (the bride and groom provided me a meal so I can vouch for it 100%). From my point of view as a performer the Royal Suites acoustics had it all and complimented my 2000watt sound system perfectly. The groom said to me at the end of the night that the sound was "perfectly balanced and as crystal clear as if i was listening to it on my iPOD" so i took that as high praise indeed. There was a large staged area which i filled nicely with my light show and i highlighted the arched windows wih uplighting. Definately one of my if not my favourite venues this summer.
On this occasion we also had a jazz band playing on the lawn during the photographs which was really nice. When the guests entered the wedding breakfast i had arranged for jazz to be playing throughout the meal and following the speeches the bar opens straight away so the reception moves swiftly into place without oo much of a delay due to only 2 or 3 tables needing to be removed. The dancefloor is an oblong shape but suits the room very well and is carpeted over during the day. The night i was there I heard afterwards that there had been some gatecrashers from another wedding party down the coridoor who preferred the music but they were apparantly removed straight away. Although The Spa Hotel has the facility to host 3 weddings on the same day you do still feel like it retains a feel of exclusivity unlike some other venues i have been to that feel more like "wedding conveyer belts" which makes you feel less special.
There is also a lovely lake which is perfect for photos and i also noticed the photographer take some aeriel photos from a staircase running up the rear of the building.
I would highly recommend this venue plus it is ideal if you have any issues with wheelchair access.
