Why a Celebrant-Led Ceremony at Hotel Du Vin, Cambridge, is the Perfect Choice for Your Intimate Wedding

When it comes to finding the perfect Cambridge wedding venue for your celebrant-led ceremony, couples seeking an intimate yet character-filled setting need look no further than the boutique Hotel Du Vin. Nestled in the heart of Cambridge’s historic city centre, opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum and moments from the iconic King’s College, Hotel Du Vin offers a refined, personal, and memorable space to begin your new chapter together.

A Venue Steeped in Character

This stunning boutique hotel is full of charming surprises. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re met with stylish, eclectic interiors and cosy nooks to relax in and enjoy. Each guest room is named after a classic wine, with interiors that mix both comfort and heritage. The signature suite boasts not one, but two roll-top bathtubs; these unique details, alongside rooms with original architectural features – like a kitchen well and oven still located in their original positions – create the perfect backdrop for a wedding that feels both elegant, timeless and deeply personal.

Perfect for Intimate Celebrant-led Celebrations

The hotel can accommodate ceremonies of up to 60 guests. It’s the ideal choice for couples who want to be surrounded by close friends and family on their special day. For smaller gatherings such as vow renewals or memorial ceremonies, the Library offers a beautifully warm and cosy setting for up to 30 guests. Connected to the Lombard Suite and the private courtyard, your guests will enjoy meandering through the spaces during your relaxed, pre-ceremony gathering.

A Celebrant-Led Ceremony Tailored to You

While Hotel Du Vin has recently obtained its wedding licence, the beauty of working with an independent celebrant is the freedom to design a ceremony that is truly yours. Whether you are planning a wedding, vow renewal, or memorial service, a celebrant-led ceremony offers limitless possibilities. I am a professionally trained celebrant with a background in writing and presenting. I work closely with you to craft a ceremony that reflects your unique story and values and I’ll create beautiful moments within your ceremony that resonate with meaning and connection.

Make the Most of Cambridge’s Iconic Backdrop

Hotel Du Vin’s exceptional location is perfect for couples who want to capture Cambridge’s charm on their wedding day. Imagine your beautiful wedding portraits taken within the nearby Botanic Gardens, outside King’s College Chapel, or beneath the stone columns of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This central location allows your day to flow effortlessly between ceremony, celebration, and these stunning photo opportunities.

Unforgettable Experiences for You and Your Guests With A Space for Every Occasion

In addition to weddings, Hotel Du Vin offers exceptional spaces for birthdays, anniversaries, conferences, and memorials. Whether you’re hosting a relaxed courtyard gathering or transforming the restaurant into a reception space for a larger celebration, the venue adapts with style and ease.  Your guests can also indulge in the hotel’s renowned wine selection and large selection of Whiskies too! Enjoying a wine tasting session the evening before your wedding is a memorable addition to your chosen event. The in-house restaurant also serves up classic French cuisine with flair. Event Planner Sarah, alongside Duty Manager Noelia, will ensure that every detail of your day is beautifully managed. They are an exceptional team!
