IS THE VENUE EXCLUSIVE?

Yes, we only hold one wedding per weekend. This enables all suppliers to arrive on site early in the week to set up and means the focus is entirely on your special day.

CAN I USE MY OWN SUPPLIER?

We work with our recommended tent suppliers and caterers. Upon booking you will have access to our friends list; our trusted suppliers and favourite professionals. For your benefit, and our sanity, we ask that you use one of our caterers and tent suppliers, but can be flexible on request. If you do choose to go with a different caterer or tent supplier, we charge a 15% risk and handling fee. Other than that you are able to bring in your own suppliers, provided they have the appropriate credentials.
