Ria and Cavill met the modern way, on Tinder, towards the end of lockdown. “It wasn't exactly a fairy tale but it didn't stop us having a fairytale wedding!” Ria says. Or indeed the dream proposal, since Cavill got down on one knee and popped the question in The Maldives.

The couple said “I do” at Beverley Minster followed by celebrations at Rise Hall. Once they laid eyes on the latter, it was an easy decision. “The grounds, rooms and service immediately presented as impeccable,” Ria explains. “It was a stunning period property and beautifully grand. Plus, the team was so friendly, yet professional.” The final big box ticked for them was the locality of the venue, not to mention the fact they'd already had a great experience of what a wedding day here would be like having served as best man and bridesmaid at a loved one's big day at Rise Hall.

When couple David and Steven, who met via to keep guests going and carrying the Italian theme into Tinder back in 2017, set out on an Italian the night. adventure visiting Rome and Florence, David couldn't help but wonder whether Steven might pop the question. But, "Steven's not always one for an obvious cue," David tells us. On their last day, Steven, who unbeknownst to David had been carrying the ring in his pocket the entire trip waiting for the perfect spot, finally found his moment and dropped to one knee to propose.

The couple visited The Hospitium on a wedding open day. They'd long admired the building and, “As soon as we entered, we knew the hunt for a venue was over,” David shares. “It had everything we wanted, space, light, history, and gardens.” So, there was no hesitation in securing 11th July 2024, for the big day.
