3. Blink and it's all over!
A year or more can go into planning/ budgeting for your Wedding Day. All your preparation and investment and suddenly your wedding day arrives! Only for you to find 'it's all over in the blink of an eye'. Couples say afterwards, "We wish we could do it all again - it was all over so fast". So why not make a full weekend of it?
To make your Special Occasion with your new family and all your new relatives really last, we say, "Make a full weekend of it". |
Dinner The Night Before £35
Why settle for a 'blink and it's gone' one day wedding like everyone else? You're special! Book a £35/ head evening meal the night before. Make yours a two day weekend wedding where everyone arrives leisurely the day before. Stay & enjoy an informal supper in the castle the night before. No rush getting to the venue on your wedding day. Settling everyone in to their rooms the night before makes a castle wedding so much more relaxing for you and your guests.
