Background Information and Highlights

Our two featured wedding couples both chose the über stylish Aviator Hotel Farnborough Hampshire for their wedding ceremony and reception.

This boutique hotel is quite unlike any other wedding venue. Its style might be described as art deco, if that is to mean glamour, elegance, and modernity. It borders the world famous Farnborough airport and the interior of the hotel features many photos and memorabilia celebrating the site's rich aviation heritage. It is probably the last word in luxury (outside of some of the Gulf hotels) which makes it easy to understand why it is favoured by Formula 1 racing teams flying around the World from Farnborough.

The registrars who conduct marriages and civil partnership ceremonies at the Aviator Hotel are part of the excellent team from the nearby Aldershot office. They are some of the most pleasant and easiest to work with in the country. And the registrars couldn't be more suited to their work; its not just a job for them, its a vocation.

The first of the two ceremonies took place in the Aviator Hotel's Sky Lounge. The gorgeous design of the room makes for some great wedding photos and video. Our couple's reception also to place here - high up on the 4th floor with views to match.

The other featured bride and groom had their ceremony in the Wright Room - the main ground floor function room.

The Aviator Hotel Farnborough is pretty much unique in its design both inside and out. The lighting inside is varied in colour to accentuate the architectural and furnishing features and is very low. Professional photographers unfamiliar with this hotel should certainly visit it before the day to familiarise themselves with its technical demands. The hotel has very little in the way of formal gardens outside and this needs to be taken into account when planning the important posed groups of family and friends.

Both couples chose a short duration photographic package but it was amazing what we managed to fit in. And the first couple had video as well!

See lots more wedding photo galleries including e.g. Peter’s Rivervale Barn, Peter’s Cantley House Hotel, Peter’s Elvetham Hotel, Peter’s Loseley Park, Peter’s St Michael & All Angels Church Sandhurst, Peter’s Warbrook House, Peter’s Lismoyne Hotel, Peter’s Ramster Hall, and many more.


"The pictures are lovely, all well above our expectations. Thank you so much!!!"

"The photo’s look fabulous. Thank you again, you were fantastic on our day and we are both so pleased we chose you"

The rear of the hotel is somewhat open and flat - no doubt because of the need for the safety or nearby aircraft. To camera left you can see the terrace area available for wedding receptions

Most registrars do not allow photography or video to be shot during the signing of the marriage register but usually there is an opportunity immediately afterwards with the use of a “pretend” register
