The main reason was the hotel offered a complete package of the ceremony and the wedding breakfast at the same venue and most importantly offered small numbers as we only required 40 guests, whereas other venues stipulated a minimum number usually in excess of 80 people.

We held our ceremony in the summer house, and the grounds were stunning, creating the most beautiful backdrop for photos.

We’d always pictured our ceremony at the Summer House, surrounded by the estate’s beautiful gardens, and June brings the florals to life in the most stunning way.
