Happy couple married in August

The happiest memories, the biggest smile
We have the happiest memories and the biggest smile, but when i really think about it , it's because the whole process was made so much easier by Jon and the boutique team. No ask was too big, no question or request too much, everything was handled. We were made to feel so looked after, and like we were truly special. The extra touches, super friendly staff and warmth had us and our guests wowed and still to this day talking about what an amazing wedding experience

Every bit the beautiful, relaxed, country wedding
It is completely thanks to Jonathan and his team that our wedding and reception ended up being one of the best nights of our lives. Every bit the beautiful, relaxed, country wedding we imagined. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jonathan and Boutique Weddings who excelled at helping create our stunning wedding. We simply couldn't have done it without him, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to have him supporting their special day.
