Your Wedding Day!
After your ceremony in one of our six garden spaces or in the church, you and your guests can wander through the magical gardens with drinks in hand and perhaps some ambient music while your photographer captures some fantastic moments.
Afterwards, enjoy an elegant wedding breakfast in your marquee or tipi of choice, followed by speeches, cake cutting and then dancing the night away. The choice is yours!
During your wedding planner journey you will be provided with a dedicated wedding coordinator who will support you with building your dream supplier team and timings and ideas for your big day. As well as answers to those problems and questions that naturally come up along the way.
On your wedding day, your wedding coordinator will be with you for 10 hours, typically 2 hours before your ceremony until after your first dance.
