Equipped for hybrid events

Connection matters. At Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, you can strengthen your bond – both with those joining you in person and those participating from afar. The Resort’s recently expanded meeting and event spaces offer ample room to spread out and are equipped to handle any technical need, from basic sound to full-scale video productions with multiple cameras and web interfacing. Or head outdoors to lush lawns and sunlit terraces – celebrate at the golf course, gather at various poolside settings throughout the Resort’s 5-acre water park, or work with your event planner to arrange a group activity that’s sure to please, like exclusive use of the Spa, a VIP experience at Disney World’s EPCOT or character appearances at group events at the Resort.

Four Seasons can even make a little magic happen for guests dialing in remotely – for example, for a group cooking demonstration, your event planner can arrange for ingredients to be delivered to remote participants so they can cook along with the team in their home kitchen.

Set the scene with historic venues

In the hustle and bustle of a city, it can be difficult to shut out the world to make the most of your time together. Located among the best-known landmarks in London – like Tower Bridge and the River Thames – Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge can give your group the royal treatment. Gaze out over the city from a sky-high terrace, or mark a historic occasion in a special setting: The Hotel’s UN Ballroom was the site of the inaugural reception of the United Nations General Assembly in 1946.

No matter the size of your group, the Hotel’s team of experts can provide anything you need: inventive menus and dining experiences, unparalleled service, and spacious venues showcasing London’s distinctive style. Your event planner can even help you take your group beyond the Hotel with outings like a private after-hours tour of the Tower of London available exclusively to Four Seasons guests, a guided afternoon at Borough Market or a visit to the famed Graffiti Wall. Closer to home, try a craft cocktail class, a wine tasting at the Hotel’s Chateau Latour Wine Tasting Room or an interactive sushi lesson with the Hotel’s sushi chef.

Room for everyone

When you aren’t bound by space constraints, the possibilities are endless. Showcase more than 100 cars along the main entrance or around the pool deck for a world-class car show, host your guests overlooking the first and 18th holes on the TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas golf course, or choose from more than 31 indoor and outdoor venues spread across 400 acres: At Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, there’s room for everyone.

Seeking greater privacy? For a truly exclusive gathering, consider a buyout to transform the entire Resort into your own space for maximum security, connection and control. Transform the pool area into a live music venue for your guests, and enjoy total access to Resort amenities like the spa or dining outlets. You’ll enjoy the closeness of community with the space to spread out safely, and with the experts at Four Seasons in charge of all the details, you can be sure your event will wow guests from arrival to departure.

Together in paradise

Treat your guests to a luxury castaway experience at Four Seasons Resort Nevis, where you can say “I do” in the sand beside pristine blue waters or gather for a corporate retreat in sunlit salons that open onto covered terraces ideal for breakout sessions.

You guests’ downtime can be as active or restful as they’d like, from lounging on Pinney’s Beach to teeing off on the Resort’s Robert Trent Jones II golf course or hiking Nevis Peak. Join a guide for an afternoon botanical tour – and be on the lookout for friendly green vervet monkeys native to the island. When it’s time to return home, your guests can take a taste of Nevis with them: a Paw Paw Pepper Sauce they created during a cooking class with a Resort chef.

Nuptials That Make a Case for
Winter Weddings

Spring and summer may have won the popularity contest, but there’s no denying the understated charm of a winter wedding. We rounded up several of our favourites, held at Four Seasons hotels and resorts around the globe – choose from snowy wonderlands, exotic beaches and unusual locations.

Old World Charm in Istanbul

Set among myriad ancient sites, Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet is a destination unto itself, no matter the season. “Winter weddings are becoming almost as popular as summer weddings in Istanbul,” says Director of Catering Başak Güngör.

An Overwater Aisle in the Maldives

With its mesmerizing lagoon and verdant jungle backdrop, the Maldives may cause you to forget what season it is, particularly when you behold the wedding venues at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. “I’m often asked what makes our Wedding Pavilion so unique,” says Restaurant Manager Mohamed Rasheed of the Resort’s overwater structure 50 metres (164 feet) from shore. “In my mind, it amplifies an already special day – from the approach via traditional dhoni and walking down a glass-bottom aisle, to claiming our UNESCO waters as your ‘something blue.’”

Natural Majesty in Vail

When it comes to winter occasions, Vail is a top pick for couples and their guests. “At Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, majestic Vail Mountain provides the backdrop for your ‘I do,’” says Catering Manager Chelsea Cross. That, coupled with a floating aisle that runs the length of the Resort’s outdoor pool, makes for photogenic drama.

Sky-High Vows in Mumbai

A multitude of ceremony options and pleasantly warm weather make Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai a popular wedding choice this time of year. The lawns provide an ideal setting for larger outdoor events, such as the pheras of a traditional Hindu wedding, says Stephanie D’Silva, Director of Marketing at the Hotel. For couples seeking a more contemporary venue for their sangeet ceremonies and sundowner parties, D’Silva recommends the rooftop bar AER, the loftiest in Mumbai: “It offers stunning views of the city below and the sea beyond.”

A Large-Scale Tale in Cairo

Steeped in history but with no shortage of cosmopolitan allure, Cairo offers the best of both worlds for your big day. “Imagine saying, ‘I do’ on the banks of the River Nile,” says Sherry Adel, Senior Director of Public Relations and Marketing Communications at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza. If it’s monumental grandeur you’re after, Adel suggests a ceremony catered by Four Seasons at one of Cairo’s grand palaces, such as Al Manesterli, or even the Cairo Citadel.

An Intimate ‘I Do’

When it comes to the perfect wedding, many brides are discovering that less is more. Whether you’re planning to elope or want to limit the guest list to your most cherished family and friends, a microwedding is an increasingly popular option.

A micro-celebration can maintain your favourite, time-honoured traditions on a smaller scale, while the limited guest list leaves you free to focus on what matters most: your love for each other. As for those near and far, livestreaming options ensure that loved ones at home can still be part of your special day. Say your vows overlooking iconic Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles with 10 friends, or pop a bottle of bubbly on the beach with 40 guests: With Four Seasons wedding experts on hand to manage all the details, every moment will be just as you’ve always imagined.

A legendary location in Los Angeles

Few destinations are as glamorous as Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, with its world-class shops and boutiques. Your wedding at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel is just as stylish. “When you’re thinking about the biggest day of your love story, no matter the size of your party, your wedding venue should be just as legendary,” says Four Seasons wedding specialist Mark Anderson. “Our Rodeo Terrace offers exclusive views of Rodeo Drive, and this venue is simply magical – toast your love with the sparkling lights of the city twinkling in the distance.”

The Hotel’s Love Story wedding package is perfect for a party of 10 – including the bride and groom – and includes an intimate ceremony followed by a reception with a three- or four-course dinner with wine pairings and cocktails, a Champagne toast and a custom mini wedding cake. The Hotel can also arrange to livestream your ceremony, so your virtual guest list is limitless.

Beach Magic in Langkawi

As you plan your special day, it’s important to remember that small doesn’t have to mean simple. “Intimate ceremonies can be as lavish or as laid-back as you like,” says Ellie Low, wedding specialist at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi. The island hideaway’s Perfect Paradise and Royal Seclusion wedding packages can accommodate as few as 10 guests and as many as 80, and both packages are completely customizable, whether you want to dance down a sandy “aisle” barefoot to tropical tunes or say “I do” in a more traditional, formal ceremony.

Low and her team coordinate every aspect of the day – flower arrangements, hair and makeup for the bride, the cake, and photography. Dreamy backdrops include the Moroccan-inspired Rhu Bar and the lotus blossom–shaded Teratai Pavilion – select your own private oasis and let the party begin. The celebration continues for you and your love the next day as you enjoy a romantic Champagne breakfast for two and a couple’s massage.

Creative touches in Austin

Big galas can be beautiful, but they can also be overwhelming, according to the wedding experts at Four Seasons Hotel Austin. At celebrations with long guest lists, brides may find themselves too busy making the rounds to really enjoy the day. A smaller ceremony and reception facilitate a more relaxing and meaningful reception, carefully tailored to the couple. “No matter the size of a wedding, we take great pride in making it feel intimate and personalized to the couple and their guests,” says Director of Catering Kelly Smutny. “Our beautiful setting overlooking Lady Bird Lake, combined with the warm, gracious service of our staff, ensure every wedding is memorable in its own way.”

The Hotel’s Micro-Wedding package includes everything you need for a small, private ceremony and reception for you and a handful of your closest friends and family, while the Elite Elopement package whittles the gathering size down to two: you and your spouse-to-be. And while these celebrations might be small, they’re big on personal touches tailored to you and your guests. At one recent micro-wedding, Smutny says, the bride and groom ordered each guest’s favourite dessert and had it served to them with the wedding cake. At another, the smaller guest size made it possible for the Four Seasons team to craft a complex, Instagram-worthy signature cocktail – producing special moments that can be hard to pull off with larger crowds.

A romantic night in Baltimore

Tables draped in floor-length ivory linens, teak chairs topped with ivory cushions, stars sparkling overhead: The Splash Terrace at Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore is a beautiful setting for the romantic wedding of your dreams. You and up to 50 guests can enjoy views of the harbour during a four-course dinner – the intimate gathering’s size makes it possible to include customizations like menu pairings featuring the bride and groom’s favourite wines, says Melinda Redling, the Hotel’s director of catering and conference services.

You’ll want to pair the perfect wedding with the perfect proposal – and the Hotel can help with that too. As part of the Perfect Proposal package, your dedicated proposal specialist will help create a magical evening for you and your beloved. Step out onto a candlelit terrace overlooking the Inner Harbor, pop the question as the sun sets, and then celebrate your future happiness with a rooftop Champagne toast.

A personal connection in Orlando

A small guest list doesn’t limit your reach: At Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, experts are on hand to set up a livestream with a customized viewing link, so you can invite as many virtual attendees as you’d like. “Many couples are making their celebrations very private,” says Sascha Voss, the Resort’s catering sales manager and intimate wedding specialist. “The new Bespoke Wedding package includes some wonderful perks for the couple to enjoy at the Resort, and the option of adding special, fun components that enable invited attendees to take part virtually.”

Even at a distance, your friends and family can experience your special day. “Wish You Were Here” boxes are customized by you and your partner and sent to your virtually attending guests, offering samples of your destination to please the senses: virtual reality glasses for a fully immersive ceremony; a locally crafted candle with a custom citrus scent, signature to the Resort; sumptuous cookies made by a Resort pastry chef. These magical touches, with decorative confetti to toss and custom coasters with your names and wedding dates, make all your guests feel like part of the festivities.
