Guoman's The Cumberland Launches Unique Wedding Packages

LONDON, November 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Guoman Hotels' stylish London property, The Cumberland, has launched a range of unique wedding packages for modern couples looking to tie-the-knot in the heart of the capital.

Couples can choose to impress guests with delectable Michelin starred cuisine from celebrity chef Gary Rhodes or get the full rock star experience by spending their wedding night in the extravagant Hendrix suite - the last known address of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

The Cumberland's specialist wedding planner, Sophie Crann, explained: "City weddings have become increasingly popular over the last few years and our central location in the heart of the capital makes us an ideal venue for couples looking for a less traditional, quirky London wedding or reception. A large number of our event spaces are licensed for weddings and civil partnerships and we also have a dedicated wedding team who will be there every step of the way to ensure that everyone gets the wedding of their dreams; a modern fairytale if you will."

The Cumberland's Silver and Gold wedding packages include hire of the breath-taking Ocean Room and the adjoining foyer for up to 250 guests, champagne on arrival, a three or four course dinner and a complimentary overnight stay for the bride and groom. Couples can also choose to add a number of luxury upgrades including a red carpet and canapés on arrival, live music and bacon rolls at midnight. Separated from the rest of the hotel, the Ocean Room provides total privacy making it one of the most desirable London wedding venues.

For those who enjoy the finer things in life, The Cumberland's 'sumptuous wedding reception package' is ideal. Treat guests to delectable Michelin starred cuisine created by celebrity chef Gary Rhodes and celebrate against the glittering backdrop of the stunning Rhodes W1 restaurant designed by Kelly Hoppen or the intimate private dining room. The package includes champagne on arrival, canapés, a delicious five course tasting menu and matching wines as well as a complimentary stay for the bride and groom.

The Cumberland hotel is one of the most prestigious properties in the capital, showcasing an impressive collection of contemporary art installations, making a unique statement of creativity and flair and making it perfect for city weddings.
