There is something unbelievably special about an intimate wedding. Guests settle into a holiday flow, cosy dinner party vibes hit as the sun sets and there is less pressure on the evening transitioning into a ‘wild’ party. Equally, with a few Proseccos, surrounded by your nearest and dearest, the party is inevitably going to go off!

Top tips for an intimate wedding:

  • A real opportunity to personalise with decor and music throughout the day and at pre / post events

  • ‘Surprise moments’ work so well at intimate weddings - a tenor singing between courses, mozzarella-making during the aperitif. Our trusted suppliers are there to curate these unforgettable moments for you - meet your team.

  • It is worth noting, catering will have a minimum spend for a smaller number of guests
