Coventry-based venue announces wedding competition winners

Macdonald Ansty Hall has invited a couple who previously tied the knot at the hotel back to relive the memories of their special day as part of a nationwide competition.

Samantha and Steve O'Connor are one of more than 200 couples who took part in the search, which aimed to celebrate those who tied the knot at a Macdonald Hotels & Resorts venue over the last 50 years.

After submitting photographs from their wedding, they were selected at random and rewarded with a luxurious overnight stay in the wedding suite, complete with champagne on arrival, and a three-course dinner.

“We are overjoyed to return to the Macdonald Ansty Hall, as it holds such a special place in our heart,” says Samantha. “Offering her advice to future brides and grooms, Samantha said: “When it comes to your wedding make sure the venue is right for you and try to take time to reflect on the day, as there's a lot going on!”
