Smith hotels aren't just ideal for romantic escapes, many of them make the perfect wedding venue. Whether you and your Mr or Mrs Smith are hoping for traditional country house nuptials, a stylish city ceremony or a glamorous, exotic palace party, we've done our homework to bring you the most inspiring wedding hotels. Each one has that all-important wow factor and many take the headache out of wedding planning by arranging every detail, as well as activities for you and your guests.


Gorah Elephant Camp hotel Addo

Gorah Elephant Camp

Addo, South Africa

Style Bastion of imperial glamour
Setting Stunning South African savannah

Wow factor   The sweeping panoramas and surrounding wildlife will add a mind-blowing backdrop to your wedding snaps.

Need to know   Gorah's a smallish safari lodge so wedding parties need to book all 11 of the camp's luxury tents, which will accommodate 22 adults (plus a number of children under 15). Summer is the low season and the best time to arrange a wedding — it can book up quite quickly otherwise — and, during the busy Christmas period, you may as well forget it.

Inspiration   The lodge can provide an intimate bush wedding as the sun sets on the savannah, with silver-service catering in a glamorous colonial setting. After the ceremony, guests can enjoy swimming under the stars and an authentic African barbecue. The following day, a game drive to see the elephants could be the perfect way to digest the wedding breakfast.

Style Modern Med minimalism
Setting Rugged Amalfi cliff side

Wow factor   Exchange your wows on a windswept terrace with the breath-taking backdrop of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the rugged majesty of the Amalfi Coast.

The Dylan

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Style Stylish chic
Setting Calm canalside

Wow factor   Anouska Hempel's opulent oriental interiors are breathtaking; the new Ariana salon has beautiful wall reliefs, double fireplaces and a glass roof.

Need to know   The Dylan hasn't hosted 'official' marriages before, but its wedding dinners, parties and cocktail parties have been a great success. The Regent's room can accommodate 32 people for private dining, while the spectacular glass-roofed Ariana room is big enough for 80. The Long Gallery overlooks the Zen garden and has a maximum capacity of 100 guests for dinner.

Inspiration   A classic salon motor launch can be used to transport the bride and groom (or guests) to the hotel along the beautiful canals of Amsterdam; the Dylan has its own pier at Keizersgracht.

Need to know   The Wine Gallery restaurant can sit 170 guests for dinner, and the garden can fit 220. For a standing reception, with drinks and a buffet, you can get up to 150 guests celebrating poolside or 250 in the, elegant Pisco Sour cocktail bar. If you’re after a grand dame of a reception, with 350 guests, you can take over the pool and garden area in the summertime. The hotel’s team of wedding planners can help prepare the perfect bespoke event, with tailor-made menus, décor, photography and entertainment.

Alila Ubud

Bali, Indonesia

Setting Sweet valley high

Amanusa hotel Bali

Style Frangipani-fringed stone suites
Setting Green hills and blissful beach

Wow factor   Amanusa’s white-powder beach provides an idyllic ‘desert island’ setting.

Need to know   Couples getting married at Amanusa have to stay a minimum of two nights. The hotel can provide a Balinese or Western-style ceremony but the legal brouhaha has to be dealt with through the Government registry. Larger wedding parties should aim to book the entire resort in June –September.

Inspiration   The golf course next door is the ideal stag event diversion, while hens may prefer leaving themselves in the hands of Amanusa’s expert masseuses.
