The hall in Oakley, near Basingstoke, was adorned with flowers and tinsel chandeliers whilst tables showcased tiny love boxes filled with heart-shaped chocolates.
A violinist serenaded eaters who savoured a sumptuous three-course meal including marsala wine chicken and a caramel cheesecake, courtesy of Oakley Hall Hotel's friendly waitstaff.
