The Osborne Hotel, Torquay

Each wedding is a unique and extraordinary celebration, infused with the individual essence of the couple's love story, making it a truly exceptional and cherished event.

Our top wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize effective communication. Planning a wedding involves making numerous decisions, and it's crucial for both partners to be on the same page. Clearly express your ideas, preferences, and expectations, and actively listen to your partner's thoughts as well. Establishing open communication from the beginning can help prevent misunderstandings, reduce stress, and ensure that both individuals feel involved and valued in the planning process. Additionally, effective communication extends to discussions with family members, wedding vendors, and other stakeholders involved in the wedding preparations.

While we don't have preferences, we can share an example of a heartfelt and memorable personal touch at a wedding. One particularly touching detail was when the couple incorporated a "storytelling corner" into their wedding venue. They adorned a dedicated space with photos, handwritten notes, and significant mementos that narrated the journey of their relationship. This personalized touch allowed guests to immerse themselves in the couple's love story, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere that made the celebration even more special.

*The undisputed star of the 2024 wedding menu, in my opinion, is the delectable Crispy Halloumi paired with a delightful Sweet Chilli Jam. This Canape effortlessly combines the savory crunch of perfectly prepared halloumi with the sweet and spicy notes of the exceptional chilli jam, creating a symphony of flavors that tantalizes the taste buds - Haidee - Wedding Co-ordinaor* *A standout gem on the 2024 wedding menu, my absolute favorite canapé undoubtedly has to be the Chicken Satay Skewers. These succulent skewers showcase the perfect harmony of tender chicken, marinated to perfection, and paired with a luscious satay sauce - Chef David* *I'm absolutely loving the Orange and Star Anise Glazed Pork Belly Squares from our 2024 wedding menu! The perfect blend of succulent pork belly, orange, and star anise creates a delicious bite that's sure to be a highlight for everyone. -Matt - Duputy Food and Beverage Manager* *I'm really into the Falafel Bites with Hummus from our 2024 wedding menu – they're a delightful choice that combines the crispiness of falafel with the creamy goodness of hummus. A must-try for sure! - Pearl -Receptionist *

Regrettably, our food service concludes before midnight. Yet, if we extended it, my go-to would undeniably be the classic Bacon Roll, generously accompanied by tomato ketchup. It's a timeless combination that holds its own - Haidee - Wedding Co-ordinator
