Describe the best wedding that happened at Horsley Lodge?
Oh wow, too many to choose from. The best weddings are when the Bride and Groom are totally relaxed and just enjoying their day. The planning and preparation has all been done, so there really is nothing more to think about than each other and the guests having the most fantastic day. Leave everything else up to us on the day!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Remember that it's YOUR day, design the wedding you've always dreamed of.
I know it's easier said than done, but don't stress! You're planning the biggest day day of your life, enjoy it.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I do like it when our couples have a little unique surprise for their guests, it doesn't have to be big or extravagant, sometimes the small things are the best, but something that just 'wows' the guests is always a fantastic way to put a personal touch on your day.
