Your ceremony
Bring your family and friends together for your vows in a setting full of character. With indoor and outdoor spaces to discuss, we’ll help you find an arrangement that suits your plans and guest numbers.
The historic building and surrounding grounds also offer lovely backdrops for photographs, with space to enjoy time together after the ceremony.
Your reception
From sharing food and hearing speeches to celebrating into the evening, we’ll help you plan a reception that feels right for you.
Talk to us about the atmosphere you’d like to create, your food and drink preferences, and any personal touches you want to include. We’ll discuss the spaces and layouts available and put together a proposal around your priorities.
