What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Communication. Make sure your venue knows every detail of your wedding day. This way they can trouble shoot if issues arise - allowing you to have fun and celebrate with your guests, rather than worrying about anything.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
As each wedding is different at The Grange Hampshire, we have loved something at each one. Whether it's been personal vows written by the couple which reduced the guests to (happy) tears, the surprise entrance by a mariachi band (which had everyone in stitches), the hand made table centres which took the bride 6 months to create, or planted flowers used to decorate the house (which were then planted in the bride's garden so she could remember her floral arrangements year on year), each wedding has had something unique, personal and memorable.

Where’s the best photo spot at The Grange Hampshire?
Because we have 3,500 acres to play with it's difficult to single out one particular spot. The Grange Porticos offer a stunning backdrop for group shots : the walled garden’s roses, herbaceous borders and flint walls offer a splash of colour and texture, the Folly alongside the lake offers romanticism and the long grasses with mown paths in the Farm House garden allow couples time for reflection.
