A COUPLE who won a wedding in a competition in the Comet earlier this year are making plans for their big day at the Mercure Letchworth Hall Hotel later this year.

Evie Lieberherr and Jonathan Grieves won a wedding package worth £5,600, catering for 60 people.

They will marry at St Mark’s Church in Hitchin in October, before their reception at the hotel after.

Evie and Jonathan have chosen an autumnal theme for their wedding, as they love the colours associated with this season.

The wedding dress has been chosen and there will be time to complete some homemade wedding decorations to add the personal touch.

Guests will be coming from around the world, including Switzerland, America and Russia, and the couple are looking forward to welcoming their friends and family to share their day.

Evie said: “It is lovely and exciting to see the wedding plans coming together and Letchworth Hall Hotel has given us support and advice to ensure we will have a truly special day.”

The hotel’s general manager, José Gomez, said: “We are enjoying working with Evie and Jonathan, helping them to plan their special day. We are delighted to show them that Letchworth Hall Hotel is a beautiful wedding venue and our dedicated staff will be on hand to make it a memorable day.”
