YOUR WEDDING DAY AT THE PANMURE ARMS HOTEL



On arrival at the hotel

The bridal party and their guests receive a personal welcome and your choice of reception drink is served.



Welcome your guests

In order to give everyone in the bridal party an opportunity to meet and welcome all the guests, a line up may be formed. This is after the reception drinks and prior to the guests being sat for the meal. The line up’s normal positioning – bride’s parents followed by the groom’s parents then the bride and the groom lastly the bridesmaids and the best man.



The wedding meal

Your guests and the bridal party will be shown to their seats while you enjoy a few private moments with your new spouse. When everyone is seated, a formal announcement will be made for the entrance of the bride and groom Mr and Mrs who are then seated at the top table, some couples may wish to be piped in by a Scottish piper to make a grand entrance.



TOP TABLE-SEATING PLAN

The Panmure Arms Hotel will be only too happy to provide a master of ceremonies alternatively you may have a guest such as the minister who would enjoy saying grace and introducing the speeches



Cutting the cake

After the main course the traditional cutting of the cake is performed, a tier of the cake is then removed, cut and served with the coffee.



Toasts and speeches

Traditionally at the end of the meal. Firstly the father of the bride or a close relative or friend of the family normally proposes the toast to the bride and groom. The bridegroom, following his response to the first toast, then proposes the toast to the bride’s maids. The bestman would then respond to the bridegroom’s speech on behalf of the bridesmaids. He would also read the telegrams and cards to the guests at the end of the speeches.
