FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

All our weddings are special and the best in their own right which makes it difficult to choose.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Focus on what truly matters to you as a couple.

It’s easy to get caught up in expectations, trends, and other people’s opinions, but the best weddings are the ones that reflect you. Decide early what’s most important - whether that’s the food, the atmosphere, the guest experience, or the location and let everything else fall into place around that.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

The best idea I have seen recently would be instead of table numbers, a couple named their tables after cities in Europe they’d visited and on each table, they had a photo of the two of them in front of the a landmark from that city - it was fun for the guests to work out what table they were on.
