Receptions & Parties
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or the biggest party of your life, this is the fun part of the day. Relax with your friends and family, enjoy fabulous food and drink, dance and make merry.
Style & Atmosphere
Formal or informal, urban or rural, indoors or out - most couples will start with an idea of the mood they would like to achieve on their wedding day.
Food & Drink
Good food is an act of generosity and the centrepiece of any celebration.
Base your wedding feast on seasonal, local and organic ingredients. If strawberries and cream is your dream then marry in summer, for mousseline of wild mushrooms set an autumn date while boeuf bourgignon and chocolate tart are wonderful winter warmers.
The Cake
The symbolism of the wedding cake dates back to Ancient Rome where a thin loaf of bread made of wheat was broken over the brides's head, symbolising fertility. Guests who caught the crumbs kept them for good luck.
Music & Fun
Music makes people come together. It's a wonderful way to set the ambience of your wedding and the key to getting your celebrations going. Its the soul of joy, provides a pool of happiness for your guests to dive into and helps to break the ice. If you get it right, your guests will laugh and smile, dance and enjoy each other's company.
Hens & Stags
Pre wedding get togethers can be a great way to experience a bit of bonding with mums, dads, best friends, close relatives while having a final fling into the bargain.
