Describe the best wedding that happened at Bowcliffe Hall?
We couldn't possibly pick one, but those that have stood out in our mind are marquee weddings on the South Lawn, especially Camilla and Kenji's in July 2023. They worked with Wills Marquees, one of our recommended suppliers to design their marquee exactly how they wanted. Camilla and Kenji are such a spirited, happy couple and their wedding day definitely reflected that.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Before even viewing venues, make three different guest lists. The first one is the absolute must have people at your wedding, the second guestlist is for those that you would love to be there, and the third is for those who you would really like to be there. Then, when you view venues, you are able to see which guestlist would fit within their capacities.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Creating your own scent and using them in candles in the Ceremony and Wedding Breakfast room so that scent reminds their guests of their wedding.
