Describe the best wedding that happened at St Audries Park Wedding Venue?
It has to be the Great Gatsby-themed wedding we held in Spring 2018 - it was such a great way to up the fun-factor. We absolutely loved this non-traditional and very romantic wedding theme. The wedding stationery such as place names, table plan and gift book were all 1920s-style and the centrepieces were vases filled with pearls, diamonds and white feathers. It looked really glam and fitted perfectly with our gold Banqueting Hall. The wedding cake was so extravagant with so many metallic shades, especially gold. The Bride was dressed head-to-toe in lace and lots of beading and bold red lipstick, the bridesmaids were perfectly matching. We also supplied our couple and their guests with glittery doughnuts for their sweet station to sit alongside their evening buffet along with an amazing champagne tower!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My number one tip would be to start your planning early! This doesn’t mean you have to wait 18 months before you start planning. The earlier you start planning, the easier and less stressful it will be as your special day approaches. Also having a clear plan before you start will help you keep on top of everything.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
For one of our Summer weddings this year (2019) the Groom had organised a surprise choir in the Orangery and re-acted the scene from Love Actually as this was the Bride’s favourite film! It was such a lovely surprise for the Bride and all of the guests.
