Your wedding

One day, from the first coffee to the last dance

    Getting ready

    The bridal suite is yours from half past ten, with a long mirror, good light and a kettle that never stops.

  2. A ceremony in the panelled Grand Hall, seen from the back of the aisle, the couple before a tall bay window with the registrar.

    Champagne on the lawn

    Drinks and canapés under the cedar while the photographs are taken, or in the Orangery if the weather turns.

    Golden hour

    Twenty minutes on the lawn while the sun drops behind the gables. Your photographer will thank you.

When dinner ends, the night begins

The Orangery clears, the candles go on, and the house stays yours until midnight.

  1. The couple's first dance in the Orangery after dark, guests gathered round, candles and festoon lights reflected in the glass.

    The party

    The Orangery clears for your first dance, the bar opens, and the house is yours until midnight.
