Our first advice will always be arrange wedding insurance! (insure your engagement ring too,) We cannot recommend a wedding insurance but it is worth looking at www.moneysavingexpert.com and various other sites. It is not costly and it could be extremely important for you.

Check and book your registrar, or church .... focus on the time you want to get married!

remember this day will go so quickly so make the most of your time.

..... Brand your wedding!

Without a doubt you will have ideas, you will have seen instagram or Pintrest images that have grabbed your attention.

This is your wedding. It is like branding a business, Choose your colours, your text styles,  this will help you with everything you are going to decide upon, from dresses, floristry, suits, to stationary.

and finally...relax and enjoy. 

This is a celebration and you should enjoy your time preparing for your big day! 

Do not get worked up and stressed. Consider taking the worries away by using a planner, or on the day management.

 Consider leasing items to dress the venue and use a venue dresser instead of making and having your clan run around on the morning of your wedding. (parents, Aunt's, bridesmaids get stressed too!)       

We have attached some documents you may wish to use to plan your day before conversation with your venue and your food coordinator. 

We have also included some of our trusted suppliers. These suppliers we do trust. We value and have experienced their services. We cannot take responsibility for any suppliers so even more importance to place your wedding insurance at the forefront of your booking. Do consider the use of a credit card too, as this can afford you some protection under the consumer rights act. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com

They do not pay for us to recommend them, and we do not profit from you using them. We  will not book them for you as it will be more cost effective for you to book direct. You do not need to use these suppliers. You can use others. Remember if you do they must supply public and employers insurance liabilities and PAT (electrical safety) certificates, 

Your Wedding food coordinator can arrange such things as donut walls, ice cream carts etc. We cannot allow outside food and drink suppliers (other than your wedding cake!) for safety, traceability and hygiene control purposes so please speak to Nikki your food coordinator.

Try to Go Green..... We are 100% a renewable energy venue and carbon neutral in our footprint, so use local, support small businesses, reduce miles, reduce waste.   

Sorry ! The simple answer is No you cannot bring your own alcohol and we do not offer a corkage option.

Why?

Our prices are exceptionally reasonable.

We are a fully licensed venue and as such we take our licensing responsibilities very seriously. We use the Challenge 25 Policy , so if you do have young looking guests please do ask them to bring identification with them if they intend drinking alcohol. Please do just be flattered if asked.

We are truly unique as a wedding venue, we put a great deal of thought into our bar, we do carry an extremely well stocked bar with a minimum of 9 lines and an incredible amount of spirits and wines..... there is not a lot that we do not have. including Cocktails and Whiskey menus 

Not many Wedding Venues can be found to have such quality and options, and this is done to get away from the usual poor wedding bars that can be found.

Our wines and drinks packages come with the best glassware..... you do not need to hire in glassware for your drinks!

Our bar is very reasonably priced, and not your usual Wedding Venue prices!   

It is the brides and grooms responsibility to ensure no alcohol is brought onto site.
