WHY? Because if it's 5 Star luxury you're after, and you have dozens of guests requiring comfortable accommodation, this opulent property with its Relais & Chateaux hotel and three-storey ‘honeymoon tower' (complete with winding staircase and Victorian tub - your friends may never see you again) is suitably equipped. A function room can accommodate up to 200 guests (if you don't fancy a dance floor), while a marquee tent outside can seat up to 500! Of course, more intimate weddings are welcome too, and can occupy the smaller restaurant venues such as the classic Raphael's. The tailor-made Asara Wedding Package takes practically everything into account, from deluxe food and Asara wines only, to fine linen, imported glassware and silver cutlery, while an on-site pastry chef will design the cake of your dreams. Transfers to and from the local church can be provided, not to forget a night in the honeymoon suite.
WE THINK... Asara's gorgeous dam is a great backdrop for wedding pictures and the fleet of chauffeur driven luxury cars at hand (a 1962 Rolls, a new Rolls Royce Phantom and a Bentley Silver Spur) is the ultimate wedding extravagance.
