Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
In this first episode, an unexpected visit from royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle provides unprecedented publicity for the hotel, and an opportunity for the management to capitalise on the public appetite for exclusive aristocratic living. Business development manager James invites two Instagram 'influencers' and their Pomeranian dog to experience the 350-year-old house and mingle with the posh guests. Wedding co-ordinator Lydia prepares for the nuptials of Londoners Andy and Garfield. The grooms get an early night, but downstairs night porters Carl and Amjad have to deal with an unhappy guest. Narrated by Simon Callow.
Episode 2
It's the height of the English social season and an influx of international high society guests have arrived, taking advantage of Cliveden's proximity to Henley and Ascot. Wedding co-ordinator Lydia is tasked with the biggest event of her career, a two day Anglo-Indian wedding. The bridal couple have booked Cliveden exclusively and the bride has requested staff wear traditional Indian dress. But porter Kim is reluctant. With no restaurant manager, head sommelier Sean is in charge of service, which goes awry when guests ignore the table plan. And Lydia has to use all her ingenuity to retrieve precious wedding jewellery from a jammed safe. Narrated by Simon Callow.
Episode 3
In this episode, unprecedented guest numbers combined with staff shortages are putting the hotel under pressure. In an attempt to recognise hard-working staff, the management have come up with a unique reward - a golden rubber duck. Wedding co-ordinator Lydia is tasked with overseeing a wedding for a Chinese couple, who've chosen Cliveden as the perfect backdrop for some Pride and Prejudice-themed photographs. The couple have flown-in 13 photographers and videographers from Shanghai. After hours of photos, and four different bridal outfits, tensions rise as Lydia's carefully organised schedule goes out the window.
Episode 4
In this episode, romance is in the air at Cliveden. Boutique hotel brand Mr and Mrs Smith capitalise on the hotel's reputation for scandal by shooting a commercial in an intimate bedroom. There's also romance on the river. And Lydia plans the most lavish wedding of the year, for a Japanese supermodel and her British fiancé. No expense has been spared, with a 10-tier cake, bespoke Valentino dress, and half a million pounds worth of jewellery. But the spectacular firework display is in jeopardy as Dom struggles to serve dinner before the curfew.
