Describe the best wedding that happened at Jenners Barn?
We had a really beautiful wedding last June after the couple had put it off several times due to their medical roles in the pandemic. The postponement also meant that family from NZ were able to attend. The wedding was a combination of wedding and reunion - never have I seen people so happy, the weather was gloriously warm and the meat feast buffet chosen was really impressive. The groom had also gone to the trouble of hiring in some fun activities for the afternoon, like electronic clay pigeon shooting and a brass band which was extremely well received.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Choose a date or a small range of dates, choose the venue then the caterer and everything else will flow from there. Delegate nearly all tasks, especially on the day, so you can be stress free and enjoy yourself. This particularly applies to very organised people, as it's hard to let go but you will need to, to fully enjoy yourself. It's an occasion to let those around you take the strain.
