Hen Party at Elements Boutique Spa

So, you need to plan a hen party...

Gone are the days where sipping cocktails through a penis straw, whilst wearing "L" plate head boppers and pacing the sticky floors of the local nightclub are your only option to give your bestie a memorable send-off into married life. Brides are now looking for tasteful and classy alternatives to spend time with their ‘hens' and prepare for the big day.   

Where did the concept begin anyway? 

Surprisingly, pre-wedding celebrations are not a new concept and there are suggestions that the male celebrations date back to ancient Greece, where a large feast would be held to toast the groom before the wedding day. The term hen-do can be dated back to around the 1800s where it was used to describe a group of women gathering together, however, there was no association to the pre-wedding context at that time so that must have developed much later.   

How can Elements Boutique Spa help? 

The tranquil setting of Elements Boutique Spa located in the heart of Middlezoy, Somerset and provides the perfect setting for any bride- to- be who wants her hen party to be a unique and luxurious affair, suitable for all hen budgets. Elements Boutique Spa is Aromatherapy and holistic-based and therefore focuses solely on the wellbeing of our clients, so we can help to calm and rejuvenate any stressed- out bride(zilla).  

What could be more idyllic than sitting in a plunge pool looking out over the countryside with a glass of prosecco and laughing with friends?  

We offer massages, facials, scrub and wraps, manicures and pedicures, using only natural products of the best quality and have proudly teamed up with Aromatherapy Associates, Made For Life and Nailberry.  

Also, on-site is the Levels Country Kitchen which serves tasty homemade food, all locally sourced, from breakfasts to afternoon teas and lunches which you can add to your package to complete your experience. You also have the option to use the BBQ Hut which is an amazing setting for a group gathering and an ideal location to play a game of Mr and Mrs (just because its classy doesn't mean it has to be boring!). A spa hen-do also means that it can be inclusive for the range of women wanting to join in the celebration, like the mother of the bride, who might be put off by a booze-fueled weekend of frivolity.   

You could always head off in the evening for drinks and dance the night away if your bride is a die-hard party girl!    

It goes without saying that getting married is one of the biggest events you will have in your lifetime, and what could be a better way to wave goodbye to single life than being pampered? We can’t think of one. Cheers to that!
