A COUNTRY house hotel launched a new wedding venue last weekend, opened by a mayor.
Audleys Wood Hotel, in Alton Road, opened its new wedding gazebo, which is located in the hotel’s estate, beside the Victorian mansion house.
Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Councillor Paul Frankum was in attendance with mayoress Cllr Jane Frankum to cut the ribbon on the new facility.
The new gazebo will be one of the few luxury wedding venues in Hampshire which is fully licensed to conduct outdoor civil ceremonies and partnerships.

General manager Paul Morgan said: “I am thrilled to launch our brand new gazebo and honoured to have Cllr Frankum joining us to mark the official opening. With a growing demand from our couples to have an outside venue where they can both hold their official ceremony and kick off their celebrations with a drinks reception, I have no doubt our new Gazebo will be a welcome addition to our wedding offering at Audleys Wood and add considerable value to our couples.”
