On arrival guests were invited to the bar marquee and offered a choice of cocktails or soft drinks served by Alex “The Doorstep Bartender”. The Blackberry Sour was a big hit! The rustic wooden bars and back bar from Eden Event Hire made the perfect base for Alex’s creations.

The space complete with velvet sofas, Weaver Green soft furnishings and beautiful ceramics sure was a cosy place for guests to relax and enjoy the view.

A huge thank you to the team from Virginias Vintage for coming all the way from Devon.

A huge amount of work goes into every event whether it’s for 30 or 300 people and we could not have done it alone. For our open weekend we were were lucky to be co-hosting with the lovely ladies from Sojo Kitchen who introduced us to some great local suppliers.

Inside the main marquee we had 5 different table plans creatively styled by the group. Crockery was supplied from Classic Crockery, stationary by Studio Anika and floral design by Joanne Caldwell.

All the tables were exceptional but we especially loved the rustic trestles with woven place mats, decorative glassware and pastel florals.

For those needing a little afternoon boost, Anna Lewis’s delicious tasters and Sojo Kitchen’s desert station went down a treat.

When the sun goes down the marquees really come alive, however, as the open weekends are usually held during the day guests don’t get to see the tents at night.

The main marquee was glowing!

To achieve this we lined the walls with up lighters and had four profile lights which projected patterns onto to the canopy. Combined with the fairy lights and hanging pendants on the bar the whole space looked incredible.
