A beautiful Anglo/ Italian family Wedding Lunch at home, Guests were welcomed at the Reception with trays of Champagne and delicious non-alcoholic cocktails. Amongst the Canapés a 2 Year Old Parmesan was shaved and served on slate to promote the Italian Theme.

After the reception guests were ushered through to the main garden holding the bespoke open-sided marquee. Guests were seated at a 140ft long table clothed to the floor in white linen with a long green runner and delightful linen napkins embroidered with the bride and grooms initials provided by the Mother of the Bride. Beautiful roses and fruit bowls adorned the table.

After the First Course Entertainment was provided by a Neapolitan Singer of Traditional Italian Songs and after the Main Course two Shakespearean actors performed a Sonnet from Much Ado About Nothing.

After Lunch the Guests were wowed by the untraditional wedding cake …a stunning meter wide Berry Tart especially requested by the bride, which was later served up with tea on the reception lawn as the day drew to a close.
