Cruise into married life with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts

Couples tying the knot are getting a helping hand as Macdonald Hotels & Resorts offer newlyweds a complimentary dream honeymoon cruise.

To qualify for the seven night luxury cruise, couples need to spend at least £5,000 on their big day, book their date before the end of this year and hold their wedding between Sunday and Friday before the end of 2011.

With the honeymoon traditionally one of the largest items in any wedding budget, the offer has been extended due to its popularity, proving a hit with those planning to tie the knot.

Marketing Manager Pamela Robertson commented: “We’ve already helped many couples achieve their dream wedding and honeymoon with our fantastic cruise offer and we’re pleased that even more couples will have the opportunity to take advantage of this. We’re really delighted to be able to lend a helping hand with their wedding budget, especially in the current economic climate.

“A wedding is such an important event and we recognise that it’s something most couples and their families have to save for. With our offer just £5,000 can cover both a beautiful reception and luxury honeymoon too.”

The offer is particularly good news for grooms who have traditionally had to pay for the honeymoon. While many couples now opt to share costs for the big day and have had to tighten their overall budgets, a dream honeymoon remains a must for most. The Hotel Group’s offer, worth over £2,000, brings favourite destinations such as the Caribbean within reach of more newlyweds.

Pamela adds: “We’re giving the happy couple a wide choice of destinations, including not just the Caribbean but also the African coast, Europe and even Alaska for more adventurous couples”.

With more than 40 hotels across the UK ranging from traditional country estates to stylish city centre venues, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts can offer a truly individual service. The group’s wedding coordinators aim to make each wedding special for the couple, helping them realise their vision of the perfect wedding day within a realistic budget.

Besides providing unique wedding venues the group is famed for serving outstanding food in its AA rosette awarded restaurants.
