Tis the Season to Get Married

We British love our Spring and Summer weddings – despite the fact our weather is often as unreliable in July as it is in February!

Did you know that apparently 300,000 people get married in the UK every year – and well over 50 per cent of the UK’s weddings take place between June and September, with the peak being August and early September.

That’s a lot of weddings taking place over the next four months!

Helmsley is a beautiful place to get married and we often get people from all over the country coming to make the most of our spectacular venues like the Black Swan Hotel and Feversham Arms. You can get some amazing photos taken at the Walled Gardens and in the Castle grounds, even if the British weather is at its most dramatic!

Brides and Grooms to be can find all kinds in Helmsley to help with wedding planning – from handmade jewellery and mother of the bride outfits to tailoring, spectacular cakes and floristry. Here at Hunters, we can help with unusual ideas for edible wedding favours – the stunning Lauden chocolates, which are a work of art in their own right, would look fantastic on a table setting! Or how about a miniature Sloe Gin from our very own local producer SLOEmotion?

But that’s not the only thing we can help with. Fancy something a bit different for your wedding cake? Always had a more savoury than a sweet tooth? How about a cheese wedding cake? We can provide tiers of different cheeses which can be beautifully dressed with fruit and flowers and served with biscuits and locally made chutneys. Delicious, stunning – and we can guarantee it will go down a treat as a late night snack! 

Or if you’re a guest at a wedding this summer and you’re struggling to think about what to get the happy couple, how about a luxury food hamper? We can make one up specially full of all their favourites, or you can pick from our ready to go range. Both can be delivered across the country.

If they love it nice and spicy, there’s our chilli lovers’ hamper. If they’re a fan of cheese, there’s our cheese lovers’ hamper – imagine coming back from honeymoon to an empty fridge, only to have that delivered to say welcome home!

If they’re getting married in Helmsley, what better way to remind them of their happy day than a Helmsley hamper, full of locally made produce? Or how about our popular Globetrotter hamper, full of goodies from around the world – they can feel like they’re on an exotic honeymoon without leaving the comfort of their own home!
