Frequently Asked Wedding Questions at Burnham Beeches Hotel, Slough
Wedding FAQs
General
We can hold a date for up to 3 weeks. During this time if another couple is interested in the date then we would give you up to 48 working hours to decide if you would like to proceed with the booking.
Once you confirm that you’d like to go ahead with your chosen date, we’ll create a contract and invoice for you. The contract must be signed before paying a £1,000 deposit, which will secure your date. A further 50% of your final balance will be due six months prior to your wedding, and the remaining balance will need to be cleared one month before. If you’d prefer to make smaller instalments between these dates, please contact your wedding coordinator, who will be happy to arrange a payment link.
A maximum of 120 for a seated dinner, and up to 200 for evening receptions. However, we can also accommodate marquee weddings up to 500 guests.
We will often hold several small events per day and in this case, shared facilities will be communal. If you are looking to have a private event, then please ask the events team about exclusive hire options. We, however, will avoid hosting more than one wedding per day.
A member of our events team will introduce you to the venue, guide you through the first stages of the process and your contract, and work with you to confirm all final details. During weddings a member of the events and operations team is also present for the main part of the wedding.
Our prices are transparent, meaning you can build your dream wedding outside our package options. Minimum numbers for most of the packages are 50 but intimate and bespoke packages are also available.
We do have 100 parking spaces; the parking is free of charge. We do not have electric charging points.
We have a bar/music license until 24:00. The hotel residents can have their drinks charged to their rooms. Bar extension up to 01.00 is possible at additional charge.
Suppliers of fresh deliveries (flowers/cake) must deliver within your contracted access time only. You may deliver small table items/decorations a day before at an agreed time. You can start setting up within your hire times. If the function space is not in use prior, you may have earlier access. When using third party suppliers (I.e. venue decorators) please advise when they will be uninstalling the service provided.
Yes, there is disabled parking very close to the main entrance.
We do have cloak rails, and we can arrange a manned cloakroom.
The Marquee must be installed on the morning of your wedding (or on the evening the day prior) and re-installed the day after. If earlier installation/late re-installation is requested additional charges apply.
Fireworks are permitted until 22:00. Only biodegradable confetti (preferably dried flower petals) to be used, and only outside the building.
Some items of furniture may be moved on request, by a member of hotel staff. Please never attempt to move any existing furniture or items yourself.
We are able to decorate the tables for you. You can sometimes deliver the table decorations a day prior at a agreed time. Please organise your table decorations and clearly label (for example Table 1 - 1 favor per person.) and we will happily place them out. We cannot, however, construct any flatpack decorations, blow up balloons, tie chair sashes etc. All decoration of this sort must be completed by yourselves or your suppliers during your hire period. Please ensure place cards to be organised into separate tables. If you wish to decorate the tables yourself, this must be completed within your hire time, unless agreed otherwise with your wedding coordinator.
Our approved suppliers are subject to robust risk assessments and are trusted to perform at the required standard. They have a knowledge of access around the site and buildings. External contractors organised by yourselves are allowed, provided due diligence is observed, they can demonstrate sufficient expertise in their field and are professionally employed. All suppliers you use within the venue must have public liability insurance which we must see prior the event and in some instances, they must complete a risk assessment. We do not permit external caterers, except for food vans, as an additional offering. This is subject to a per person forkage charge and needs to be discussed with the sales team prior. This rule does not apply to Dry Hire package.
This is not permitted, unless there is a pre-existing hook that we consider to be sufficiently load-bearing or supplier has been arranged. Please check with your wedding coordinator first.
We provide 5’round tables as standard, with a long rectangular table for a top table or buffet table. Some different-shaped tables can be provided at an additional charge if required. We have 12 round tables available.
Yes, we can. You can have a certain allowance pp and the suppliers can order from the bar menu.
No external catering is permitted as we are a fully catered venue. The only exception is the Wedding cake and sweet trolley (in which case an indemnity form must be signed), or catering vans. This does not apply on the Dry Hire package.
