Question
Ceremony details
Answer
We are having a small, intimate ceremony which will start at 2pm so we encourage guests to arrive at the venue between 1.30pm-1.45pm to be seated. The ceremony will be held inside in the Baronial Hall and we ask that no phones are used during the ceremony - we have a great photographer and we want to see your faces in the pictures, not your devices! After the ceremony, we hope the weather will be nice enough to go out into the beautiful gardens to enjoy the gardens and relax while we have some photos taken.
