China Fleet Country Club are South West Wedding Award Winners
4th February 2019
The team behind a popular country club near Plymouth in Saltash, Cornwall is celebrating after winning a major UK wedding award.
China Fleet Country Club, has been named the 2019 Wedding Venue of the Year in the South West Wedding Awards.
The 180 acre venue in Saltash which lies on the banks of the river Tamar just outside Plymouth, was selected as the winner from venues across the South West.
“Given the high calibre of these awards, we are over the moon at winning the top Town Venue award. It means so much to us that our efforts have been recognised,“ says Dean Bennett, China Fleet Managing Director. “Our ethos is to make every wedding unique and special, bringing dreams to reality for all our couples.”
During the award presentation, Matt and Victoria from Heart FM highlighted some of the recent comments made by the wedding couples, including one couple who said: "China Fleet is an incredible wedding venue. They supported us in the months leading up to our wedding and responded and listened to our ideas. They even fulfilled our requests for canapes for the children and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure we had the absolute most perfect day."
China Fleet is one of the South West’s most notable establishments. Having first opened in 1991, the club celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2016 with a visit from Princess Anne. It has 4 star accommodation, golf course, conference and event rooms, spa and swimming pool, brasserie, Upper Deck restaurant, beauty salon and health club facilities including racquet sports, gym and children’s clubs.
“We have a variety of wedding packages available, but each one can be amended to suit our wedding couple’s bespoke requirements, ensuring their day is everything they wish for and steeped in romance” adds Dean.
“The club has recently undergone a multi-million pound revamp including a £500,000 Aqua Spa, £200,000 gym up-grade and we have just completed the swimming pool refresh too.
“Being so close to Plymouth city centre but with lots of country charm means we are a very popular choice for weddings of all sizes. Our 4 Star accommodation, fantastic spa, beauty and Fox House Retreat hairdressers all on site, adds to our success,” says Dean.
The Wedding Awards are the South West’s premier people’s choice awards for weddings. The South West Wedding Awards recognise those businesses which exceed the expectations of their customers and provide an outstanding service and who inspire their customers to actively and positively promote them.
China Fleet Country Club are hosting a free Wedding Fair on Sunday 24th February 2019 where visitors will be able to meet their wedding team as well as get inspiration and ideas from a host of exhibitors. The wedding show starts at 11am and runs until 3pm.
