A WEDDING venue in Congresbury is to undergo a £100,000 facelift.

The Great Room at DoubleTree by Hilton Cadbury House will be renovated to increase its size and to make it look more attractive.

The move comes just a fortnight after a five-figure revamp of its Marco Pierre restaurant was announced.

The Great Room, which opened in 2007, holds wedding receptions and business conferences on a regular basis.

Hotel manager Colin Badcock said the decision was partly due to signs of an economic recovery.

He added: “During the downturn people organising wedding parties or business meetings were understandably keeping a very tight rein on costs and were booking smaller and more intimate venues.

“Now the recovery is well underway many of our customers are looking for bigger spaces to cater for more guests.”
