Bridal Hair & Makeup at Crowne Plaza Marlow
25 min from Windsor · Buckinghamshire
About the Venue
Crowne Plaza Marlow
A striking contemporary hotel set in five acres of countryside overlooking its own private lake, just outside the pretty riverside town of Marlow. Floor-to-ceiling glass, bright modern interiors and a lakeside terrace make it a refreshing alternative to the traditional country house — light, spacious and effortlessly stylish.
Crowne Plaza Marlow is a brilliant choice for couples who want a clean, modern backdrop and plenty of natural light. Jade loves working in the bright, airy suites here — the light is fantastic for makeup — and the lakeside setting gives a real sense of calm despite being so easy to reach.
Location: Fieldhouse Lane, Marlow, Buckinghamshire SL7 1GJ — approximately 25 minutes from Windsor.
Getting Ready
Getting ready takes place in one of the hotel’s bright, contemporary suites, with a complimentary bridal suite included on many wedding packages. The clean modern interiors and large windows mean beautiful natural light — one of Jade’s favourite things about a modern hotel like this.
There is plenty of space and calm for the bridal party to get ready together, and Jade brings her full professional kit and lighting so every look is flawless, whatever the weather over the lake.
Capacity & Setting
Five licensed ceremony spaces and generous capacity for weddings of every scale — the Winterlake Suite caters for up to 450 guests and the Conservatory for up to 200, with smaller lakeside rooms for more intimate celebrations. The hotel’s on-site bedrooms make it easy for guests to stay over.
Five acres of countryside wrapped around a private lake give lovely, uncluttered backdrops — water, sky and the glass architecture of the hotel itself, which looks especially beautiful lit up in the evening.
What Brides Love
The bright, modern spaces and abundant natural light, the private lake and terrace for drinks and photographs, the flexibility to host anything from an intimate gathering to a 450-guest celebration, and the easy access and on-site accommodation that make the whole day simple for guests.
Your Wedding Morning
What to Expect on the Day
Jade will arrive at Crowne Plaza Marlow and set up in your bright bridal suite with her full kit and lighting, along with a detailed schedule for the bridal party so the morning runs smoothly and calmly from the start.
The contemporary, light-filled rooms make for a lovely, relaxed getting-ready atmosphere, and Jade keeps everything perfectly on time so you can enjoy the morning by the lake without a moment of stress.
She stays with you until you leave for your ceremony, handling touch-ups and making sure every member of the bridal party looks flawless in that gorgeous natural light.
Jade’s Tip
Hair & Makeup at Crowne Plaza Marlow
The modern suites here have wonderful natural light, which is ideal for makeup — though Jade always brings professional lighting too, so your look is perfect whatever the day brings.
Marlow is about 25 minutes from Jade’s Windsor base, and the lakeside setting and glass architecture give a lovely contemporary feel to getting-ready photographs. The terrace by the lake is a beautiful spot for a few relaxed shots before the ceremony.
If you’re planning a first look or portraits by the water, the light is softest earlier in the morning and again towards golden hour — worth a quick word with your photographer when you plan the timings.
