FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We hosted a lovely summer wedding where the bride, groom and guests got to enjoy the best of both - the rustic styled indoor civil ceremony followed by reception drinks, photos and lawn games outside in the sunshine. After a few hours of fun outside the guests returned inside for a beautiful tailored three course meal with 10/10 speeches full of laughs and some tears of joy. The evening reception did not disappoint, our resident DJ worked their magic to keep the party going all night using a mix of the happy couples requested music, guest requests on the night and all the floor fillers around. All the guests and staff had a great time, there was a fabulous buzz in the air all day and night.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
To try not let yourself get overwhelmed with all the details and planning. Sure every detail is important, but start by writing different elements of your wedding down and putting them in priority order. Take your time and slowly focus on one element at a time. You will find that a lot of the smaller details will simply fall in line as you're working on some of the bigger details. One thing at a time, bit by bit.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Seeing couples not sticking to the traditions and making their wedding truly unique. One beautiful wedding we had simply let any of the guests stand up and say a few words about the happy couple after the dessert. Throwing out the pressure of conventional speeches and reliving the father of the bride who didn't feel comfortable standing in front of a large crowd speaking.
