Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Our rates are the same regardless of whether you hold your legal ceremony here, or off-site at a place of worship, or decide on a ceremony here conducted by a celebrant, family member, or friend. You are free to use the house just for your preparations, reception and overnight stay, with full access to the house from 9am on the day.
-
We do ask that you use one of our Approved Caterers for your daytime catering, however everything else is up to you. Of course, we’re more than happy to share some of our favourites, so if you’d like some inspiration, please just get in touch.
-
In short, nothing! You will have a drop-off hour the afternoon before, where you can bring your drinks to go in our big fridge overnight, go through any last minute questions with us, and hand over any styling items. For example, you’re welcome to show us how you would like the table settings to look, and we’ll lay them all out for you. We want your experience to be as stress free and calm as possible, so please do utilise us!
-
No, we have both round and trestle style tables, as well as rustic wooden chairs here for you to use at no additional expense, along with wooden benches for your ceremony. We have very limited storage here at the house, so any additional items you may want to bring in would need to be checked with us first.
-
We have tried to make the house as accessible as possible, with portable ramps and accessible toilets for daytime guests. However, as we are working within the restraints of an old Georgian property, unfortunately there is no lift facility to the first floor bedrooms for overnight guests.
-
Our couple’s dog would be welcome to attend the daytime celebrations, if they’re well behaved in social situations and kept on a lead at all times. However, dogs are not permitted upstairs, so unfortunately we’re unable to accommodate them overnight.
-
We have approx. 20 vintage brass candlesticks, approx. 30 stone bottles and approx. 30 vintage glass bottles. We also have a few random larger vases, metal drinks tubs and a vintage wooden easel.
-
Any children that require either a chair or highchair for the Wedding Breakfast are counted as a guest. Babes in arms, who are unable to sit yet, are not. Our Maximum guest numbers are 80 for the daytime and 120 for the evening.
-
We do have a few rooms where we can accommodate additional children, up to 2 in each suitable room. We have 3 travel cots that you’re welcome to use for children up to 2 years old. From 2 to 12 years old you may bring a pop up bed with additional bedding to set up in the bedroom. From 12 years old they will need to be allocated one of our bed spaces. We ask that children aren’t left unattended in any of the bedrooms and are supervised at all times.
-
As we’re a tiny family team, we have to manage our time effectively, and work within a fixed time frame to ensure the business runs as smoothly as possible. Unfortunately, this means we don’t have any flexibility when it comes to access times, being 9am on the day of your wedding until 10am the following morning. We can occasionally accommodate an Extended Stay the night before, please just ask for more details.
