Tillers Tuesday Tip 💡

Read the Terms & Conditins before locking in vendors 📝

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life so it’s really important that you agree with your vendors terms and conditions of service as you enter a contract with them.
- This includes alterations/additions to the original quote, cancellation policy, non refundable deposits/payment policies and special conditions.
- Once you pay a deposit or booking fee and sign into a contract you are obviously agreeing to those terms and happy to follow those procedures if required.
- Some vendors have minimum spends and only allow a reduction in numbers by a certain amount or percentage so make sure that you can work with these requirements if needed.
- Most, if not all, deposits are non refundable or transferable if you choose to cancel or postpone. These are put into place to protect the vendor as once you have locked in your date they turn away other work for that date or weekend and the closer to the proposed date the less likely they are to re book the date. There’s also a hell of a lot of work in the lead up and also months before your wedding day so don’t be naive and think that it all just happens on the day. For us in particular, we have numerous emails, meetings and calls up to 2 years before your wedding day.

It’s always best to discuss anything that you aren’t sure of before locking in your vendors to make sure you understand everything.

Introducing Miss Paige Angela Cooper to the Farmily.
Born 03/04/24 and weighing in at 3.17kgs she’s a mini bundle of fun.
Big brother Taylor is learning the ropes and being very helpful. Won’t be long before they’re running events together or at least helping with the set ups. 🥰

The importance of a good MC

The master of ceremonies! They are essentially your host for the night and you need to make sure you choose wisely as they can make or break the vibe. Here’s our top tips on a great MC!

- You need to choose someone that has charisma and isn’t afraid of public speaking. Whether you have 20 or 200 guests they need to be comfortable in front of a mic and a crowd. Hearing your own voice amplifies can be a little daunting at first too!
- Choose someone that can work well under pressure. Timelines get tweaked on the day and it’s important that they can be flexible and are able to work with your vendors. Remember that you have paid professionals to run your day and you don’t want things to escalate from a rogue MC.
- A briefing with the co ordinator/ DJ to make sure that you all have the same timings is key as well as keeping all vendors updated if things change on the day.
- They need to understand that unexpected things can happen on the day. The Father of the bride might need a nervous wee just before his speech, the brides bustle may take longer to get sorted and some speeches may over run and push things back. It’s all about working with the vendors to provide a seamless night that flows well. Remember, the guests don’t know if everything is running 15 minutes behind and we will likely be able to pick that back up in food service.
- Don’t say anything offensive. You just don’t want that whole ‘floor swallow me up’ feeling at the wedding. On the other hand, people don’t need a run down year by year of your whole 10 year friendship.
- Comedy is key, it’s an ice breaker and weddings are such a happy occasion. It’s best not to get too serious or emotional.
- Most of all, someone who is personable, witty, confident and flexible need only apply. 😝

Frequently forgotten items

Here is a list of items that may have slipped your mind in the chaos of bringing everything together as they have slipped our previous clients in the past…

- Cake knife and slice - we do have a set of these on hand here at the farm but for offsite weddings we see them get forgotten all the time!
- Suncream/mosquito repellent. A nice touch on a super hot day and balmy night for guests to be able to top up on when needed.
- Table numbers - If your seating plan is self explanatory then probably not needed but having the table numbers definitely speeds up the seating process
- Baskets for your confetti cones to sit in
- Bar Menu - Just looks nicer than having bottles sat on the bar to let your guests know what’s on offer
- A nice pen for your guestbook
- Wishing Well
- Parasols/fans/umbrellas for the ceremony
- Florals/decorations for your cake
- Ice and garnishes for your cocktails
- More of an offsite tip but lighting for above the bar/mobile toilets

Utilising the dining room space for your guest numbers

Ok, so we get a few couples come in with a guest list of 40 and others with anticipated guest numbers around 150+ and wonder how the space is going to look with that amount of people in it.
The trick here is to use the space wisely
- positioning the bar inside will use up space as a thoroughfare plus you need a certain amount of space as a service area around the bar
- spacing the tables a little further apart will fill up space and also make it easier for you to mingle with your guests during dinner
- Having a bridal table/ Head table will also take up more space
- If your guest numbers are on the more intimate side then we can even partition the room up with our bookcase

If you are unsure we can always put together floorplans and suggestions on how to make the space work for you. We have done events for as little as 15 guests right up to 190 in the dining room so we can definitely make it work.

Scroll through for some inspiration and below are the guest numbers for each set up.
1. S&K - 17 guests
2. M&J - 38 guests
3. C&C - 77 guests
4. C&L - 145 guests
5. A&A - 146 guests
6. D&B - 175 guests

Pros to booking a private venue

- You have exclusive use and privacy to create those special memories.
- We don’t have to turn around the space in a short amount of time meaning your suppliers don’t feel under pressure to create something amazing!
- It’s not a side hustle for us. We solely look after weddings and events so we live and breathe them! We have time to focus on your event so you know you’re in good hands!
- Your site visits are with someone that will be there on the day so you can ask as many questions as you need and you also have the space to yourselves to truely imagine the day.
- The space also doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic like a public venue does so it can stay pristine for longer!
- The venue was built with weddings in mind.

Check out some of the images for a little inspo.
Feel free to get in contact with us if you’d like to get the ball rolling. Our brochure is in our bio too so you can get a good idea of what to expect.

💡Tiller’s Tuesday Tip

🌞 Summer weddings vs black furniture 🖤

So this heatwave has all thinking about the outdoor side of things whether at our own venue or offsite.
At this time of year the sun has a harsh bite to it so it’s important to think about colour schemes and positioning.
- If your ceremony is out in the open think about how long your chairs/benches are going to be sat out there. Black attracts the heat like a bee to pollen so maybe think about adding cushions to them if you’re dead set on this colour.
- Bar tables and chairs could also be sat out for a long time so if you have the option maybe mix things up and have a different coloured top to your bar table or go for an opposing colour with the chairs
- The black bar! Our arch nemesis! Looks great..very sleek and modern but put that bad girl out in the sun and she gets angry! We really struggle to keep glassware chilled when this bar is out in direct sun and it gets super hot to touch…not great if your a lean against the bar kinda person…Another moment right here
- More of an offsite one here but black plates in a clear marquee…. Just Ouch!

We absolutely love black as a colour scheme, it never goes out of style and has a classy, formal touch to any event but just think about this time of year and the power of the sun if it’s going to feature fully outside.

This time of year calls for a food post for sure! So how much is enough?
When thinking about how much to provide for your guests it’s always a good idea to consider the following:

⭐️ Length of time between ceremony and reception.
If there is a long gap between these two it’s a good idea to include a grazing table as well as canapés for that extra buffer. Grazing tables are great for a go-to option and also a great visual focal point.
⭐️ Ceremony time - if you’re planning on having an early ceremony then it’s great to have a grazing table that guests can get stuck into straight away post ceremony as some may have skipped lunch whilst getting glammed up. If you’re providing bus transport for guests this departure time from their accommodation can sometimes be as early as 1pm
⭐️ Do you have big eaters? Usually the banquet feast is the popular option for those big eaters and what we recommend if you are only wanting a one course option as it offers more variety and is more substantial. Adding an entree or plated dessert is also an option.
⭐️ Are you having a complete stand up event? - we definitely recommend a grazing table in addition to the roaming canapés along with a dessert table and late night snack. Guests at cocktail weddings actually consume more alcohol so it is essential to provide a good buffer.
⭐️ A dessert table is a great option to get people out of their seats and on the d-floor whilst also offering the sweet tooth amongst the group something satisfying. Don’t forget there’s also the option of a 50/50 sweet/savoury dessert/cheese table and we can also portion your wedding cake to add to this.
⭐️The late night snack is the way to go. Always a hit at the end of the night and a great soak. Something that your guests will appreciate before getting on that bus home!

If you are unsure you can always get in touch with us and we will be more than happy to guide you through the different options!

Tillers Tuesday Tip 💡

Getting organised….

So when exactly do you need to get things locked in?
As many of you may be using the festive season to get some wedding planning in we thought we might give you some tips on when to lock down your preferred vendors.

⭐️Firstly, see if there are any non negotiable suppliers that you absolutely have to include in your wedding and check their availability.
⭐️Venue is the first pit stop as this will likely give you your date. Once you have your canvas you can start on the fun styling aspects of the day that fit in with the look and feel of your special place.
⭐️Next up is the celebrant as the day really can’t happen without one of these
⭐️Now time to lock in catering and furniture if the venue doesn’t include any of these. Catering for sit down receptions can influence the furniture and styling so always good to chat to both during this process
⭐️Once the setting is organised, you can get onto the fun things like florals, photographer, Dj, transport (unless any of these are covered in your non negotiable’s)
✨ The trick is to not try and do everything all at once. Tick a few things off every few weeks and it does get easier once the big things are ticked off, just remember to enjoy the process! ✨

Believe it or not this time of year gets super busy for new enquiries for all vendors across the board so be patient with responses as a lot of us also take a wee break to recharge and gear up for the rest of the season.
Our office team will be out from the 24th Dec - 28th Dec and again from the 31st Dec- 3rd Jan but we will get back to all emails on our return. If you’d like to arrange a viewing over the festive weeks then feel free to get in touch now and we can book you in.
