Food was a major focus for foodies, Alison and Jack, and they knew exactly what they wanted, lobster and skinny fries! Dominic Catering served up quite the feast, serving lobster, mouth-watering steak, skinny fries, and fresh salads. For dessert, espresso martini tiramisus, which were a perfect nod to Jack's signature boozy espresso martinis. Alison and Jack Grogan married at Colchester Oyster Fishery, the first wedding to ever take place there!

Alison had always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, ideally near the sea. With both Alison and Jack having such a deep connection to sailing and the ocean, it was a must to have that at the heart of their wedding. Alison and Jack Grogan married at Colchester Oyster Fishery, the first wedding to ever take place there!

They started 'going out' a few years later after Ed asked Abbie to be his girlfriend on New Years Eve 2011 and have been together and by each other's sides ever since. The pair became Mr and Mrs Clark on Friday 31st May 2024 at Villiers Barn, Thorpe-le-Soken. A standout moment was the 'Aperol hour' drinks reception.

Stetsons and sundowners set the scene for Hannah and Ben's amazing western-themed wedding! Hannah sasys, "The real showstopper came with the father of the bride speech and after a moving but gorgeous speech we were presented with a beautifully wrapped giftbox. We had no idea what was going to be inside! We opened the ribbon with guests hanging in anticipation, looked inside the box and sobbed – they'd booked our dream come true honeymoon, a trip around Texas and Nashville. We cried, our guests cried, our suppliers cried – it was a very emotional moment!:

Creating a magical wedding is all about the details, the atmosphere, and the energy that surrounds the day. Camilla Sheeley, experienced wedding stylist and model, worked alongside her 'Two Queens' partner & photographer Elizabeth Ebsworth to create this amazing shoot at Fennes. We absolutely love this shot of the bride in the soft top car! Fennes is a great venue -able to accommodate any style of wedding!

The listed farmhouse at Houchins dates back to 1623 and has been beautifully and sympathetically restored to offer maximum comfort for couples & their wedding party to enjoy. The formally landscaped wedding garden has been cleverly planted to show interest all year including white roses, verbena, tulips and much more. Beyond the garden is the woodland area for woodland weddings fronted by the recently renovated pond and fountain providing an elegant arrival.

The Main Barn known as the Grain Store incorporates a large, open fireplace and mezzanine gallery to make full use of the 35-foot-high ceilings with glass doors overlooking the garden & terrace. The Grain Store is centrally located between the bar and dance barn helping your evening flow.
