Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

The best wedding so far was full of beautiful floral decor both in the Orangery and at the Lapa where the couple chose to be married. They had live music at every turn and it created an energetic and fun atmosphere all day. Accompanied by singing and dancing all day that really showed their personality as a couple, even down to a singing flash mob who were brilliant!

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

My number one planning tip would be that you can never start too early! Whether that's planning your guest list or meeting with suppliers to arrange decor. The sooner you tackle these things, you'll be in a better place when it comes to putting everything together nearer the end.

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

My favourite personal touch was when the couple named their tables after places they visited, this particular couple went travelling for almost a year shortly after booking with us and told their story and shared their journey through their table names.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

If I'm completely honest I'm usually in bed sound asleep by 11pm and hardly ever wake up to want a midnight snack - mum life knocks me out! If I did have to choose, I'd say a cheese toastie for sure. Quick & easy to make & always tastes amazing.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

The most unique feature would have to be the waterfall. It's so rare you can get close to a waterfall like that.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

I'm proudest of how far we have come as a business and as a team since COVID. We started off really unsure what the future would bring but we have pushed hard, kept our amazing standards and spirits high and expanded and developed our team over the years since then. We've been able to gain access to so many more resources and have teams dedicated to specific areas of all things wedding, food and drink, marketing, accounts, sales and it all just works like clockwork with each other. We are all there for each other with the same end goal, to give our couples an unforgettable day and we really hone in on that over everything else.
