Here at County Wedding Magazines HQ, we love nothing more than to hear from the winners of our competitions. In the crazy world of wedding planning, it's exciting for us to be able to offer our lovely readers some exciting giveaways and competitions which will hopefully give you a much-needed pick-me-up during on the countdown to your wedding day.

In December 2022, CWM ran a competition, 'Win a relaxing spa day for two!' and the winners were nearlyweds Laura and Antoni. The lucky pair enjoyed a day at The Spa at Ardencote, a luxury four-star wedding venue in Warwickshire, including a 55-minute Elemis treatment, light lunch and full access to the award-winning spa facilities worth £130!

Laura says, "Just wanted to say what an amazing time my fiance and myself had last week at Ardencote! We made full use of the swimming pool and the hot tub, and when it came to our time at the spa, we made sure we tried everything from the hottest of saunas to the coldest ice shower. Our personal favorite was the foot spa along with the outside hot tub. Our facials were also excellent, Antoni had 'never had a face so well looked after' in his life! Thank you guys for the amazing opportunity and to the team at Ardencote for looking after us."

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials from all here at County Wedding Magazines!
