From the vintage bus picking up our guests at the hotel, the music and warm spiced apple drinks greeting them on arrival, through the gradual reveal of each room in the House, the brilliant and fascinating tours of the state rooms by Isobel, the precision and elegance of the service from David, Enda and the whole team and their willing participation in all the slightly left-of-field ideas we had, made the day one that we and our guests will never forget.There were so many moments from the day that it becomes almost impossible to just pick one favourite.

- LLara and Ben29/06/2018A moment we will never forgetA moment we will never forgetOne of my favourite, most cherished moments of the day itself (as well as marrying my husband of course!) was the sneak peek we had of the Ballroom before all our guests came through. The Head Butler, David came to get us to show us the Ballroom and I’ll never forget the beautiful warm smell of the flowers with the glow of many candles flickering about the grand space. Everything was just perfect and seeing our vision come together in the awe-inspiring Ballroom was a moment we will never forget.One of my favourite, most cherished moments of the day itself (as well as marrying my husband of course!) was the sneak peek we had of the Ballroom before all our guests came through.

A moment that still gives us goose-bumps is when we entered the Great Hall. The quartet were playing 'Skyfall' on the balcony and we entered the room for the first time to see it in all its glory - full of cherry blossom and all our loved ones.”In one word 'spectacular'.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
There was a wedding a few years ago where the couple wanted to include all the things they love (most of which were animals), and make it a weekend their guests would never forget!
They had pre-wedding games, bride's team V groom's team, on the Friday followed by his and hers pre-wedding dinners. On the wedding day they had a polo match for guests to watch as well as a show by the Devil's Horsemen and a petting zoo! They had an incredible Chockwokydoodaa cake featuring all of their pets and their boat.
It was great to see the couple take full advantage of everything the Estate has to offer and adding their own eccentric style!
