Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
There is nowhere more special than Abbotsford in the sunshine. One of our lovely couples were lucky enough to bring the weather with them and marry amidst our beautiful tulip festival. Their relaxed and informal day really suited the couple and allowed them to feel like they were getting married in their own home.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't panic! Yes, there are many things to think about, but everything comes together in the end.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I really enjoyed when a Bride and Groom, who were a keen fisherman and golfer, subtly added their hobbies to their wedding. From canapes served with golf balls, to cheese served on a small wooden boat they captured their personalities in their food and decoration.
